shyt's rough to hear and watch.... some of these old hits it's just like

I heard an interview from the makers of this documentary, they said it wasn't necessarily the big hits that caused the most damage, it was the little hits on every down that you take that accumulate.

Said some nikkas had damage that was like being in 20,000 car crashes

Didn't realize that Aikman could get worse.

Aikman said he doesn't remember the second super bowl at all.

Seeing them now has me very scared.

I remember a game in the mid 90s, Troy Aikman got a concussion. They reported it as a "mild concussion."

It was in Arizona, he came back into the game. I cant tell you the year, but I remember that. As a kid, I never thought concussions were a big deal.
