Have you read the NYT piece regarding consussions in the NFL---WOW---those fuckers.

So in a nutshell---they failed to list dozens of additional concussions in their initial concussion reports.

They did not list the well known concussions---like Young and Aikman.

Every knowledgeable football fan knows that those two superstars left the game because of concussions.

They basically watered down the report and lied about it.

It's a hell of a piece.

to further their own interests? Shocking! Some of us have been saying this for quite some time. Welcome aboard.

Should be front page -- at least front section -- considering the 49ers were so prominently mentioned.

Now perhaps you can understand when I say I've had enough of football. Great concept as games go. I'll miss it. Too much bullshit.
