After the brain injury coverage in Time magazine and on ESPN's "Outside The Lines" several weeks ago I have been inundated with letters and emails from former football players around the country who are still having neurological issues long after their playing days. You would think the mail would be coming from former NFL players, instead the mail has been coming from guys in their 30s, 40s and 50s who never played on the NFL level. These guys played on the high school and/or college levels. Their emails are much like yours which brings me to think there are some major problems with concussions sustained in contact sports (but especially football) that have not been adequately addressed. It seems that the head trauma train is not solely an NFL issue but in this case (a football issue in general) that is coming down the track and is rapidly picking up speed!
