Getting started

Back in October 2006, ESPN aired an episode of Outside the Lines on the controversy regarding how the NFL is managing concussions in their players. Other concussion-related press included the link between Andre Waters' suicide and depression and concussion.

HBO aired a segment on the long term effects of concussion last night (May 14th) on Real Sports, and interviewed Chris Nowinski, author of Head Games.

Hopefully, there will be some positive outcome from an upcoming NFL summit on concussion headed by the new Comissioner, but only time will tell.

I've been e-mailing students from a class on TBI and Concussion since the semester ended, and thought this would be a better way to communicate updates to them and anyone else interested. Keep posted...
