So that concussion thing in the NFL is real?

I can't decide if this continues the decline of humanity as we know it or if this has something to do with the repercussions of concussions from playing football. Here's the story from ESPN:

Former New York Giants safety Tyler Sash was arrested early Saturday morning in Iowa after leading police on a drunken scooter chase and being shot with a Taser.

Tyler Sash, who played for the Giants in 2011 and 2012, was arrested for public intoxication after leading police on a scooter chase.
Sash, who played two seasons with the Giants, was charged with public intoxication and interference with official acts by police in Oskaloosa, Iowa.
According to multiple reports, police spotted Sash at approximately 1:30 a.m. riding a motorized scooter with its lights off and asked him to stop.
Sash, however, reportedly refused on multiple occasions, leading police on a four-block chase before leaving the scooter and fleeing on foot.
Police eventually found Sash hiding behind a tree and, after the 25-year-old refused to come out, shot him with a Taser.
Sash declined a field sobriety test but admitted to drinking and was taken to Mahaska County Jail.
A sixth-round draft pick in 2011 who played in college at Iowa, Sash appeared in 23 games with the Giants. He was suspended in 2012 for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances and was cut by the Giants prior to last season.

There's bullying and then there's this

Maybe the Miami Dolphins or a lot of NFL players should take note of this. Please watch, share and support and put a stop to bullying. These kids have

Sad to see it end

This is about football and if that turns you off I'm sorry, but I am a diehard Packer fan and I can't help it.

With the lose in the divisional round of the playoffs to the 49ers on Saturday it is most likely the last time we'll ever see wide recievers Greg Jennings and Donald Driver in a Packer uniform again. I am saddened by this, because both have been involved and great for the community.

Donald Driver drafted by the Pack in 1999 never looked back and became the team's all time receiving leader. He will likely be released due to age or the more likely scenario is he will retire.

Greg Jennings was drafted in 2006 and became the teams top receiving threat soon there after. He is now a free agent and with Jordy Nelson, James Jones and Randall Cobb on the same team there probably isn't any money in the bank for a receiver of his caliber.

That's the business but it's still sad to see to faces of the community go away.
