The players have gotten signficanlty stronger and faster in the last ten years or so. As a more high profile sport, football is in a better position to take a strong stance. But yes, I agree, how Eric Lindros was allowed to play so quickly was a shame. I agree that hockey has a problem, too, but football’s is worse.

That kid who died in Montclair NJ was medically cleared to play 3 weeks after his concussion. This is not Coles' first concussion and it is medically documented that it takes you longer to recover after each concussion. The mere fact that he hasn't had headaches, etc., is no excuse for common sense. What does it take this league to get more serious abou head injuries? Anyone with a concussion shoudl be forbidden to play the next week. It's great that guys are competitors and want to be out there. But good judgment should prevail.

They also said that if the coaches don't find a way to turn Brett loose, there will be JETS coaches fired. DUMP MANGINI, SCHOTT and SUTTON!!!!

I do understand that we are thin in the receiving core this week, but if coles is still on cloud 9 and takes a solid hit, we could be looking at much more than a week ot two on the sidelines. Since we are playing KC this week we can afford to have him recover and let some of the young guys( Stuckey, Keller, Smith) get some much needed reps.
