Last Thursday night during an NFL game between the Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals, Dolphins quarterback Tua Togovailoa suffered a vicious hit and was carted off of the field with a severe head and neck injury. It was a frightening sight. One thing that made it so frightening was that just four days earlier in a game against the Buffalo Bills, Togovailoa hit his head on the ground and appeared to stagger off of the field, giving the appearance he had suffered a concussion from the blow. He went through concussion evaluations at halftime, and was deemed healthy and continued to play.

Note from George: On Monday night, I received an e-mail from an individual with an unsolicited post as an attachment. This person said I could do what I wished with it; either trash it or use it.
