You ever had a concussion before?

A real concussion, or what they call a concussion in sports these days?

Pretty sure AD just bumped his head. He did not get some scary gonna commit suicide later in life because of it concussion.

I've had two real concussions in my life where i was out of it when it happened. I've also bumped my head many of times. There's a difference. The hit from a concussion usually leaves you at least a bit loopy immediately. Bumping your head just hurts your head, just like it would hurt your knee when you bump knees with someone else.

The sports world is so scared of whatever that anytime someone slightly has their head touched, they have to sit out for a week for a concussion.

And i'm aware of the "tests" they do for concussions. It's a written or oral test. There's no brain study test they do. I have a friend who's pioneering the new concussion tests for the NFL. What they actually do for testing is a joke. It's literally a written or oral test that they perform. My friend is using a device that does tests on your eyes. Not positive on all of it, but it's at least scientific, as opposed to asking someone what's your wifes mom's name. They are testing their concussion tests in the MLB next year and if it goes well they should get it implemented in the NFL.
