Very involved with Troy Aikman too!

Troy Aikman believes he suffered between six and eight concussions in his career with the Dallas Cowboys

After the 1994 NFCCG VS THE 49er's in which he was concussed and left the game.

“He looked at me and he said, ‘Leigh, where am I?’ And I said, ‘Well, you’re in the hospital.’ And he said, ‘Well, why am I here?’ And I said, ‘because you suffered a concussion today.’ And he said, ‘Well, who did we play?’ And I said, ‘The 49ers.’ And he said, ‘Did we win?’ ‘Yes, you won.’ ‘Did I play well?’ ‘Yes, you played well.’ ‘And so what’s that mean?’ ‘It means you’re going to the Super Bowl.’ “

A defenseless player falling to the ground, really no need for that at the end.

I'm hopeful Taysom is sitting out of practice today as a precaution.

My prayers go out to him. Poor fella'. He's important to the team but his health is the most important thing.

Dude no ****. If what Rogers had done was a Saints player, coach probably would've been suspended, player suspended, loss of draft picks and fined. Goodell would've made each player give up their first born child.

****in NFL. BS.

40+ minutes and no memory of what happened?

Taysom is a TOUGH SOB but IDK …. I’d have to have a serious discussion with the wife and family after this. Concussions and CTE is real.

It may be time to start thinking about life after football. Long term health and quality of life is more important.
