Man its just so hard to want to watch football at this point for me, really sad and hopeful article. Dudes cant even remember their wallet and phone after 3 times going home scary ****. Makes what that clown on the steelers was saying the other day even more ignorant and stupid.

Damn, that Jermichael story was hard to read. I'm glad he's feeling better, but I hope it isn't temporary. The treatment he describes sounds similar to what they will try to do for dementia patients, and while it can help slow the decline a bit, it doesn't stop it from happening.

Scary stuff. The league is in trouble.

Gave me chills. He gets it and I’m proud of him. It’s easy to isolate and walk away from your responsibilities as a husband, father, friend, and human being. It takes so much courage to face that pain. The fear, the sadness. We need more stories like this. Humanizes sports and keeps us human.

This isn't going to help the look the NFL has right now...

Tom Savage takes hit, lays on ground shaking, goes to sidelines for 2 minutes, then checks back in.

Was just coming to post this. Someone or multiple people on that staff need to lose their jobs. Disgusting.

Huge uproar (and understandably so) over this, already rumors that multiple people in HOU will be fired.
