How many of yal played football? I played from 8 yrs old through HS and can count on one hand the number of guys I know who got concussions.

I played from the ages of 7-18. I only had one but it was a big one, happened in the 11th grade.

I threw a good block on a punt return but I didn't know about until I saw it a few days later when we were watching the game tape.

i do remember barfing a few times during the following days

but seriously, it did suck from what I remember. The coaches didn't even let me play in the last 2 games of the season. I practiced the last week and thought I was going to play but I got held out of the game. I was mad about it at the time but now looking back, I knew that it was for the best.

ended up having a better 12th grade year so at least I went out on a good note.
