You are a fine Dr, and its great the length you are going through on the concussions. You are far more qualified than I am, I was worried about a 3rd one on the young man from Raceland, in such a short time span.

 

Against Paintsville you all should blow them off the field, just hope the young kids on your team stay focused after seeing what Nicholas Co done to Paintsville. If Russell can't beat Raceland this season, the next few years are not looking good for the Devils. Good luck to you,your team, and players. God Bless.....no hard feelings:thumb:

None taken. I understood what you were saying. Good luck this week.

you too,good luck........seems Raceland and Fairview schedule this week helps both after the brutal game they had. Russell as well with E Carter, a little easier to prepare for another battle.......schedules worked for everyone.

Indeed.

Just read that Neathercut had another concussion, that is 2 this season, and I hope he is looked at cautiously and perhaps gets checked out and cleared by a good neurologist. These concussions can ruin a person in later life and no game of football is worth dribbling oatmeal off your chin at 35 yrs old or so. May God Bless him and hope he has all the testing necessary, but in no way would I expect him to play for a good amount of time. Crosby the NHL has not played or had serious contact in nearly a year, caution and not getting hit, I can't imagine risking a 3rd concussion, and wish him and the Rams the best. As a parent,if it were my kid, I would seriously cosider dropping football, youhave to think of the future quality of life.

Just how many players are you hoping won't play on 10/28/11. Just sayin after reading your many post. GO RAMS !

I 100% hope all of the boys are ready to play, they all have worked hard and deserve it. I merely showed concern for a child. If it were Davidson or Googie, I would have the same concern.

Hope all are healthy for the Rams...Best of luck Friday night guys!!

Wasn't questioning nor do I want to or expect to know what anyones status is. MRI's can be clean,ct-scans clean,follow the finger and no problems or headaches and wind up half retarded in the future. My question is more as a parent? when is enough,enough? And who predicts the lingering effects in the future? I sure bet Ali wished he had hung them up....say after Foreman, than be like he is today. Both these teams played their guts out, and I am sure we are using the latest in computer testing etc they measures more than MRI's may show. An MRI,etc will clear from liability etc., but has 0 effect on predicting lingering effects. Your service to your team is great and in no way questioning, If it was my child with 2 I would dare the coach to consider contact for this season.

 

If the concussion issue was so set in stone as far as diagnosis,time off etc......the NFL wouldn't need to fly these players across the country to be treated. It is just not an exact science and no 2 are alike, but some players are more likely to have them than others and repeatedly.

 

I would rather see no player injured....ever, we all agree on that.

Some states have concussion laws, Kentucky does not. Call your Congressman etc....

I have confidence in sidelinedoc, he is doing much more than some dr'd will besides the follow the finger do you have a headache. He is going the extra mile and he knows when the number of concussions could be a factor,thats what I hate to see is the multiple ones, pro qbs have retired after 6, and some are more concussion prone,etc, I wish all the children the best,and hope other teams have a dr who like sidelinedoc,is actually looking out best as possible for the player. I do know its not an exact science,but nothing really is, especially regarding the brain. Ky is generally about 20 yrs behind on laws,etc......someone like sidelinedoc with some authority could champion a cause for changes with state laws. Good luck everyone!
