Can you envision The Detroit Lions running down the field in bubble wrap. How about if the playing field resembled a tumbling mat. No, but can you envision what may happen if Javid Best ever played football again. He has had several concussions in the past. He had a season ending concussion in 2011.
As Lions fans we want our team to win, but at what costs. Some would say thats the price you pay as a professional football player for choosing that sport. But football isn't what it was 20 or 30 years ago.
