    Here's the thing: You can draw a direct line from my junior-year concussion to my inability to grasp the comedic brilliance of Jay Leno today. #nflconcussions

    a potential and very violent path to celebrity and wealth that only the most economically desperate would consider and that the vast majority of Americans find unpalatable.

    Like the films of Baz Luhrman. #nflconcussions

    Malcolm Gladwell's comparison of football to dogfighting in The New Yorker further confused Michael Vick as to why he was ever punished in the first place.

    I'm guessing that a lot of former NFL players are running similar calculations these days.

    Terry Bradshaw keeps forgetting to carry the one. #nflconcussions

    LISTEN, LADY. I USED TO PLAY FOOTBALL AT SCHOOL, IN THE STREET AND AT HOME. IN THE DEN. SO DONT TELL ME ABOUT HEAD INJURIES. ANYONE THAT KNOWS ME KNOWS I'M AN EXPERT.

    ONE TIME WHILST PLAYING IN THE DEN I GOT KNOCKED ON MY FUCKING BACK BY MOTHER. SHE HAD HUGE BIRTHING SHOULDERS AND MY DAD USED TO CALL HER NIGHT TRAIN. FOR THREE DAYS MY VISION WAS OBSTRUCTED AND ALL SOUNDS WERE MUFFLED.

    TURNS OUT I WAS STILL WEARING MY HELMET. AND STILL STARK NAKED.

    the fact that you even have to form a committee on concussions should tell you something

    "This meeting of the Committee on Concussions will now come to order.

    First item - to approve the minutes from last meeting. Do I hear a motion?"

    "Oh, that was me moving my paper."

    "No, do I hear a motion to approve the minutes?"

    "What's so different about those minutes? Are they rollover minutes?"

    "Huh?"

    "Well, I mean, I don't remember anything about those minutes, or hours, or even days for that matter. But, if they weren't different than any other minutes, I don't see why they shouldn't be approved."

    "So is that a motion to approve?"

    "What? I didn't move - it was the defense. He was offside."

    "What? No...you nitwit. Would you like to make a motion to approve the minutes!?"

    "Like this?"

    "NO! Put your damn leg down and stop flapping your penis! Can someone please just make a motion to approve the minutes??"

    "So, ...move? Like, you mean...?"

    "Close enough. Do we have a second?"

    "I've got all day. I think. Actually, I don't remember..."

    "AARRGGHH! Will one of you please make a secondary motion to approve the minutes from last meeting???"

    "Okay, now I think you need to..."

    "Close enough! All those in favor, raise your hand..."

    "What are we voting on again?" #science

    The NFL would like everyone to just calm down about all the brain-melting

    Seriously, it's not as if George McFly is out there being stalked by Darth Vader from the planet Vulcan. #science

    I also have my doubts about Dr. Ira Casson, especially after reading that his NFL-sponsored study of Dr. Demento found him "slowing down", when we all know that he's hilarious as ever. #science
