Bradshaw Says He Has Experienced Problems Lately

First of all, just take a look at that picture and feel terrible it still is not the 1970’s. While I am old enough to remember the 1970’s, I was too young to have appreciated the 1970’s.

To the topic at hand, Terry Bradshaw recently revealed he has experienced some short-term memory loss and deterioration of his eye-hand coordination doctors trace back to his multiple concussions suffered during his playing career.

From KTBS.com:

“I forgot the numbers. It’s pretty staggering; if you play in the NFL and start for 10 years, it’s not good. It is not good,” Bradshaw said at Squire Creek Country Club in Choudrant, where he was in town for a fundraiser for his alma mater, Louisiana Tech University

Concussions have become a huge issue in the NFL as the league mandates more protections and institutes rules changes to better protect players from head shots. Some of the changes are good, others seem superficial.

What you can take from this, though, is the league is not going to stop changing things if they think it will reduce concussions. The helmet worn by Aaron Rodgers he credits for saving him from another concussion should become standard issue.

While you want to avoid a “balloon” helmet like the ones that occasionally pop up, the one Rodgers wears is fine.

If the players want to be a part of the process, they need to quit complaining and become more active in the process. There is no reason they can not become more involved.

In fact, the league would welcome more player input so there is less complaining later.
