Evan Neal in concussion protocol

[kartanoman]

Just to be clear, I was not saying the concussion IS the silver lining. I know how serious a thing a concussion is, and I made it clear that I thought it was a decidedly bad development that it happened to Neal.

I wasn't calling you out, by any means. It was more of sharing the AFL concussion stories and I was a bit taken back that a 21 year old's career had ended prematurely due to multiple concussions. No matter the sport, or team or player, a young athlete whose hopes and dreams become shattered alongside his brain. It's a sad story and hearing about Evan today jarred a lot of emotion.

Meanwhile, in the Giants' camp, I'll be keeping Evan in my thoughts and wishing him well for a safe return, as I know all of us here are.

Peace!
