NFL Claims Its New Concussion Study Will Be More Scientific Than Prior Research
The National Football League’s next study of the long-term impact of concussions on players will be more expansive than its first effort, which was lambasted by Congress and independent physicians, according to The New York Times. In fact, one of the doctors leading the new research initiative joined the chorus of critics of the prior research. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/04/sports/football/nfl-plans-more-scientific-study-of-concussions.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=mitchel%20s.%20berger&st=cse ...
Retired Players Sue NFL Over Denials Of Long-Term Concussion Brain Damage
Retired pro football players, who allege that the National Football League ignored mounting evidence of the long-term brain damage caused by concussion, are playing hard ball with the league. This week those 75 retired NFL players filed suit in Superior Court in Los Angeles against the NFL and Riddell, which manufactures helmets, according to The New ...
Former Player Shelton Sues NFL Disability Plan
Former Carolina Panthers running back Eric Shelton, claiming the National Football League is hypocritically just paying lip service to taking helmet-to-helmet hits seriously, has filed suit against the league’s disability plan. The New York Times wrote about the lawsuit Tuesday in a story headlined “Ex-Player Is Suing Over Pay For Injury.” http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/30/sports/football/30helmets.html?scp=1&sq=eric%20shelton&st=cse In his lawsuit Shelton, 27, said he ...
After Career-Ending Concussion, Former New York Jet Starts Over As A Financial Adviser
Former New York Jet Wayne Chrebet stopped keeping track of his concussions when they hit double digits. And then one ended his pro football career. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704700204575642812360573640.html?mod=WSJ_NY_Sports_LEFTTopStories The Wall Street Journal Monday offered an inspiring profile of Chrebet, who is now a financial adviser with Morgan Stanley in Red Bank, N.J.

New York Giants ‘Clarify’ Concussion History Of Tight End Kevin Boss
It looks like some NFL teams will do anything to keep a player on the field — including apparently not being forthcoming about whether a player sustained a concussion. The New York Giants organization should be a bit ashamed about their comments — and lack of transparency – last year about tight end Kevin Boss, when it denied that he ...
New York Giants Not Taking Chances On Quarterback Manning’s Head Injury
I have to applaud the New York Giants for how thorough the team is being checking out whether quarterback Eil Manning has a concussion. Manning got an ugly, bloody gash on the side of his head Monday night in a collision while playing against the New York Jets at the team’s first game at the new Giants ...
Pittsburgh Steelers Fans Welcome Back Ben Roethlisberger With Cheers, Not Jeers
Pittsburgh Steelers fans are either very forgiving, have short memories or approve of taking advantage of young drunk women in the bathrooms of bars. In any event, the fans welcomed shamed quarterback Ben Roethlisberger – some even seeking his autograph – back to team practice with cheers and open arms Saturday, according to The New York Times. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/01/sports/football/01steelers.html?ref=sports ...
New York Times Misses The Real Story Of Ben Roethlisberger, By Ignoring His Brain Injuries
It’s the brain injury, stupid. That’s what I would say to The New York Times regarding its profile Friday of disgraced Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. The story, headlined “A Reputation In Ruins,” traces Roethlisberger’s life from high school to the NFL, interviewing his friends and associates. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/30/sports/football/30quarterback.html?_r=1&ref=sportsThe The article is about Roethlisberger’s fall from grace, ...
NFL Owns Up To Long-Term Dangers Of Concussions In New Locker Room Poster
I wonder to what extent the National Football League has really changed its stance on concussions. The league, long criticized for downplaying and denying the long-term damage of of concussions, is making a poster for team locker rooms that will spell out rather frankly the dangers of brain injury, according to The New York Times. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/27/sports/football/27concussion.html?ref=football The paper published a picture of ...
Critics Blast NFL For Releasing Flawed Helmet-Safety Results
The National Football League has been trying to show the public and Washington that it is taking brain injury seriously, rather than denying any responsibility or liability for ex-players who end up having some form of dementia later in their lives. After trying to rehabilitate its image, the league then made a big blunder. In this case, the NFL is being ...
