An autopsy has determined that Penn star football player Owen Thomas suffered from a degenerative brain disease caused by head trauma that lead to his suicide. The concussion issue is one that has been covertly neglected for years. It wouldn't surprise me if the NFL moves to have players sign medical waivers in the future regarding concussions.
Sometime common sense has to prevail. Why is it that a runner need only to "break the plane" of the end zone with possession of the ball for it to be ruled a touchdown, but a receiver must maintain control "to the ground" for a score to be upheld? Anyone that has ever played the game knows that Calvin Johnson and the Lions were robbed by the refs last weekend. But here's a lesson Calvin...since it is a rule (albeit a bad one), tuck the ball away instead of showboating and trying to get on Sportscenter.
Last night the Jets proved that they have the bark...but the Ravens have the bite.
Go Ravens!!!!!! PURPLE REIGN
