I got my bell frung - as we usd to call t - several times but no lasting ill effects. I do have gimpy knees and very sore shouders though. I would think twice about letting my 6 year old grandson play football. My sonwas smallwhen young and he took up soccer. I agree on nthe OT stuff but I'm not sure what else would work.<br />Shackman https://www.blogger.com/profile/01690901432037614409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3599918867507699918.post-15769214960653651252017-02-10T02:58:32.226-06:002017-02-10T02:58:32.226-06:00Select sports have been a concern for me for some ...Select sports have been a concern for me for some time, having long been aware of risks for brain damage, of which those in my profession would be keenly aware, long before concussion took news center stage. I was involved otherwise during the game but did see enough to feel the wide range of emotions on all sides. I had mixed feelings wanting to see the young team win their first trophy but also thinking might be nice for the "old man" to show he still had it. Some of my family on the east coast very strongly wanted him not to win based on prior penalties he incurred. Certainly seemed an unexpected ending after the first half. But, the game is never over 'til it's over. I don't like the overtime method used to determine a winner.joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3599918867507699918.post-3184662917291514592017-02-06T08:39:33.513-06:002017-02-06T08:39:33.513-06:00I am glad that you found something to take your mi...I am glad that you found something to take your mind off from other earth shaking things that are happening in your patch of green.Rummuserhttp://rummuser.comnoreply@blogger.com
