Terrible. I said broken neck as soon as I saw the play, poor kid. Hope he makes a full recovery & isn't paralyzed.

If athletes played without helmets there would be a significant drop in concussions.

Maybe, but it wouldn't be the same.

It would be rugby because if the helmets go, then the shoulder pads have to go.

Scary injury though. Tulsa has good medical centers. He is in good hands. My dad spent 6 months ICU in tulsa back in 98. Good people over there.

Right. Slow, white boy football. Would like 1920's football.

Tulane has a good medical program too. I'm sure he'll be sent there eventually.
