I believe that concussions adn PCS will become much more relavant as the NFL continues to be sued and has no choice but to make the game safer.
Check out this link below where Rodney Harrison says he’s ‘scared to death’ after a career filled with concussions http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-sh...6631--nfl.html
