Thanks for the update! Glad he’s doing alright, I went through a ton of injuries and it can be a grueling process. Hope he continues to do well, and good luck with the rehab.
@HCP , hopefully he's taking it in stride and getting for the next adventure in his life: college! Take care, buddy.
Asked that same thing and the docs said way down the line if he wants. But said he will never notice they are there. Crazy to think of.
@HCP do you and your son ever talk about CTE? It's weird because that wasn't even a thing when we were growing up, so nobody was worried about brain trauma, but if I ever have a son I think I would be scared to let them play football. It sucks because I love watching football, but they don't even know very much about CTE at this point.
We have. They have had people come in and talk to the players, parents and coaches about it. Ya when I played, it was never even a thing. Our home field was Civic Stadium. Might as well have been playing in the street.
What does your son think? It seems like he wants to pursue football beyond high school. I think the story that really got my attention was Chris Henry, the Bengals WR who died because he fell out of the back of a pickup, so they also looked at his brain and he had advanced CTE even though he had never had a major concussion or brain injury. Henry was only 26. Pretty scary stuff.
Which brings up, what's the difference between copywrite, copyright, copywritten, copyrightten, copywriter, and copyrighton.
Update..... today was signing day at school. Miles and his two best friends will be playing at Gold West College in Huntington Beach, CA next season. Kid worked his ass off to rehab. Very proud of him.
Congrats John! Great accomplishment for Jr......and the kicker is it's California and Gold is in the name....now if you just find some purple, you'll feel at home again! Kid's got all the good looks from the Mrs.!
