re: Lions waived RB Jahvid Best

A little known fact is that the week before the Oregon State game, Jahvid was diagnosed with a "minor" concussion, but was cleared to play for the next game. Having two concussions so close together is supposed to be a really bad thing. He was presumably cleared to play because he passed all his tests, therefore was supposedly out of the danger zone, but some researchers are not convinced playing so soon after a concussion is OK, no matter what the tests show. Jahvid didn't play the last 4-5 games of the season, and went right to the draft. A lot of Cal fans who knew his history wanted him to retire and not go pro. Unfortunately this is something that we saw coming.
