Sad to see this happening to more and more players that many of us grew up watching.

Concussions are a b###h.

Love me some Jimmy Mac. I think he got about the most out of his talent.

Sad to see him like this. Concussion "cleared" by halftime.

What a goof that ESPN talking head is and, boy, what stupid questions. "How did that make you feel?" 25 years ago McMahon probably would have let the guy have it for his inane queries.

Anyone think Best should still be playing?

Amazing the number of people rushing to defend their precious league and lambast McMahon. Even if he wins the final settlement won't make a dent in the league but it will bring attention to a serious issue.

Anyone think Best should still be playing?

No...I think it is insane that he and Collie are still out there...awful luck/genetics (are certain people more prone to concussions than others?), but they will be mental mush by the time they hit 40 at this pace.
