Players who have suffered concussions

2009
Safety Michael Lewis 49ers Lewis picked up his third concussion since Aug. 18.
Linebacker Jeff Ulbrich 49ers, Ulbrich said Monday he's not ruling out retirement after sustaining more concussions during his career than he can count.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- It's only been three years since Florida quarterback Chris Leak stood at a lectern and claimed a vicious hit from Georgia defensive tackle Jeff Owens hadn't resulted in a concussion. "I just got dinged," Leak said. "No more than that."

Had Gators coach Urban Meyer known then what he knows now about concussions, Leak's backup, Tim Tebow, might have started his first college game as a freshman. Coincidentally, the player who backed up Leak in 2006 has become the face of major college football's relatively new, more medically sound approach to concussion recovery.


Tate Forcier Michiagan There's obviously a risk that comes with returning to the field so soon after a concussion, and Michigan doesn't need Forcier to beat Delaware State. But if he's medically cleared, the game provides a good opportunity for him to regain some momentum on offense after consecutive losses.

Center Pierre-Marc Bouchard is out indefinitely with a concussion

It should come as no surprise that Wild enforcer Derek Boogaard started working his way back into shape as soon as he was given the green light last week.

The surprise?

"He's been boxing," general manager Chuck Fletcher said.

Huh?

Isn't this the guy who went out with a concussion?

Taking shots to the head?

"I don't know if anyone dared hit him in the head," Fletcher said with a laugh.

The Wild's heavyweight champion, the 6-foot-7, 258-pound Boogaard suffered a concussion during an exhibition game Sept. 18 and has been sidelined since. He said he needed to get back into shape and wasn't ready to skate, so he climbed into the ring.



Steelers safety Troy Polamalu has had seven concussions since his high school days in Oregon, several at Southern California, yet he remains one of the game's best defensive players. His latest concussion occurred last year against the Giants.

Hello, I have arrived in honduras just fine, it is beautiful down here. nice and warm. it is about 80-85 degrees I would say. Today was our flight, we had a connection in Houston. arrived in Roatan 1:15PM. it took until nearly 2:30 to get our bags and get to the Inn of last resort. I took a swim, since this is our only off day. Sunday we will vist some people. and Monday off to the CSI site. We are on the North west side of the island, there is only one road that leads to the west from the Airport (first it goes north), very near the end of the road on the west side you will find two small bays near each other (Gibson's Bight), that should be where the INN is located.

Again they picked up rocks

Once again Jesus is confronted with being stoned. (John 10:31-32) This time He does not hide from them, but faces them and asks them questions as to why they want to stone Him. These questions cause them to doubt their reasons. The one that rings for me is: Just because I (Jesus) said, 'I am the Son of God'? If I don't do the things my Father does, well and good; don't believe me. But if I am doing them, put aside for a moment what you hear me say about myself and just take the evidence of the actions that are right before your eyes. Take time today to read of the things that Jesus did and see for yourself, are they one and the same as God. Today I pray that move closer to your maker.

The one who has never sinned throw the first stone!

Most Christians have heard this story before. This is the one that gets me all the time. I have a judgmental person, I am always saying (mostly in my head) why do they do this or that? Don't they realize what that is saying about them? I will try and put people in boxes, usually below me. Or at least that is what I believe at the time. I know some people that are much better at this (NOT being judgmental) then I am. I am trying to avoid those conversations at work, the rumors, the gossip, the competition that I play in my head. I always find it interesting that the story states that the older people left first...and as I get older I find that it is easier to be less judgmental. I calculate that I may only need to live to be about 200 to completely remove this from my system. I have also noticed today that people can see me, I mean I am generally invisible in many situations, but today I walked a route that I have many times prior, and in those times people rarely acknowledge me.
