The NFL rolled out paper number5 in Neurosurgery in November2004. Paper number5 dealt with the modest 8% of players who had missed at least one game because of a concussion, described by Pellman and his colleagues as "the most severely injured of the NFL concussion cases." Who were these players, and what happened to them? They were mostly quarterbacks, defensive backs, wide receivers and kick returners "injured in highspeed, highacceleration collisions." Although this observation ignored the violence taking place at the line of scrimmage on every down, it made some sense. The players on the perimeter were being hit with extraordinary g 'forces."Why don't you do the same thing if that's the case. I'm sick of people talking about, crying about 'we need to make cuts here.' I mean that's your business, if that's how you want to run things that's fine. Going to an 18game season for what? How about you give us two bye weeks, and then we make it like that.
