Not to belittle borland's injuries, but if any one of those symptoms means a concussion then I've had more than 30 concussions, and there's only been a couple times where I hit my head. I don't remember having anything put a knot on my head, and nothing out of the ordinary.

He may have had a lot of concussions but 30 sounds unrealistic. If he has, then he obviously leads with his head WAY too much, and I am surprised he still knows how to walk and talk.

I think he is correct. It is the defenition of what is a concussion and not that is changing. More research has shown that even hits with less force creates damage an thus the defenition has changed accordingly.

I think his piece is interesting. I have just finished my 14th season of football at the age of 34. I'm have injuries to my ankles, knees and hands that will never heal and as a lineman I have to say I am a little worried about the long term impact of the hits to the head I have taken.
