I got hit so hard in our PIAA State Championship game that I thought I died, I blacked out for 10 minutes. I woke up thinking I was in heaven...hahaha...the doc told me that I was about a centimeter or two from being paralyzed. Thank God that didn't happen or no more football for me. HB's a harder job than I originally thought, but somebody's gotta do it.

@eddiepetrie32 yup, stop playing contact sports.  They don't know much and they keep finding out that concussions are more serious than they thought. Four isn't the end of the world, but take it easy

@pullhp123 you get 6 concussions per year? Dude your not fine. Doctors don't know much about concussions and are just discovering the long term effects and they're bad., They mess up your life big time like Alzheimer disease. Stop playing ASAP...

Damn, Riddell just keeps innovating!! One thing is for sure, when my son plays Pop Warner, he's gonna wear a Riddell!!
