THE CULTURE IS CHANGING
OVERHEARD DURING WEEKEND NFL SHOWS
"It's a tough game for tough people, but what we're starting
to see is it's not a dumb game and it's dumb to hide this particular injury" - ESPN's Merril Hoge,
on players dealing with concussions in the NFL ("Sunday NFL Countdown,"
ESPN, 11/29)
"It's sad that it took an outside source - i.e. Congress - to bring in the commissioner
of the NFL, Roger Goodell, and sit down and ask all these questions. ...
Instead of being proactive they are reactive." - Fox' Terry Bradshaw, on the head-injury
issue ("Fox NFL Sunday," Fox, 11/29)
"As a coach, that's why you can't listen to the
players." -NBC's Tony
Dungy, on coaches having to rely on doctors' opinions on when a player can
return after a concussion ("FNIA," NBC, 11/29)
