    Scott Fava out for 11 hours

    Geez that was some concussion. Out cold in intensive care for 11 hours.

    There must be grave doubts about next week despite his own optimism.

    fark!!!

    Isn't any major concussion met with a mandatory 2 week lay off? Either way, I'd be buying myself a helmet this week ...

    looking at the fotage i dunno whether a helmet would have helped - unless we get Larry to send over a couple from the NFL.

    Im not sure about the mandatory requirements, but after the recent retirement of Elton Flatley.

    didnt the former Quaterback for the Dallas Cowboys retired for a similar problem??? Larry can you help me out with this one please mate?

    Yes, several QB's retired early from concussions. Most notable are Troy Aikman (Cowboys) and Steve Young. I'm not sure how many Troy had but I believe that Steve had 7 concusions during his career before his wife made him give it up.

    Most professional athletes are so competitive that they feel can come back quickly from almost anything.
