Keith Primeau volunteered his brain for concussion research when he dies

[BlindLawrence]

I hope I don't get a concussion.

[milkman]

I think there have been a few now. I know Zach Thomas is a big proponent of this issue. He had several concussions.

[milkman]

Sounds like a Saturday night to me.

You get shit like the Benoit thing after that. It's sickening how fucked up his brain apparently was at that point.

That didn't help matters either, and probably was what sent him over the edge.

Tests were conducted on Benoit's brain by Julian Bailes, the head of neurosurgery at West Virginia University, and results showed that "Benoit's brain was so severely damaged it resembled the brain of an 85-year-old Alzheimer's patient.

Well also, wasn't a whole lot of info on concussions and brain injuries until the last 10 years or so. Look how veterans are treated after being exposed to explosions. Oh there is nothing wrong with you. A lot worse than these players making millions.

[NeTaS]
