Westbrook on his concussions

Quote...Even tougher, he said, was listening to the varied opinions about returning to the field.

"You hear all these different stories," Westbrook said. "You hear the worst - from guys dying who had a concussion, you hear about guys with memory loss and things like that.

"You also hear, 'You can probably play next week. I played with a concussion. I had two or three concussions in one game.' . . . So at that point you try to process all the information and figure out what the best thing is to do. I've played with knee injuries and I played with ankle injuries throughout my career . . . but for me, and I think for any player, you can't really live your life without having a brain. You don't expect to leave the game without the ability to think. I don't want to put myself in that position."

There's always coaching, Brian.

Westbrook is actually pretty smart. He's not your normal idiot jock.

Let's not kid ourselves. He may be more well spoken or even more intelligent than some/most professional athletes. But calling him 'pretty smart' is ridiculous.

Of course having said that, I applaud his decision to consider his future and take his concussions seriously. Especially since he was cooked anyway.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

Let them eat bootstraps.

I doubt he makes it to the third quarter.

We could both be right at the same time.

exactly.  while he may be smarter then most jocks.. i doubt if he could find his way out of a taco wrapper without some assistance.  especially if he gets another concussion.   anyways, someone should tell him he only seems to get concussions vs the taterskins.. he should be ok now.  he might buy it.
