Sick and tired of obtaining low amounts of useless traffic to your website? Well i want to let you know about a brand new underground tactic that makes myself $900 each day on 100% AUTOPILOT. I really could be here all day and going into detail but why dont you merely check their website out? There is a great video that explains everything. So if your seriously interested in producing simple money this is the site for you. Auto Traffic Avalanche

Harry,
I have been reading through some of your blogs. Congratulations to you and your family on your son’s graduation and other things that you have accomplished in your life. Thank you so much for all that you have done and still doing for the Retired Players. I realize this may be a little late in coming but what you are doing means a whole lot to not only the former players and their families but it shows the world that there are people who really care about others.

Harry,

Let’s start a Carson Football Foundation which the NFL, NFL Players Association, NCAA, and high schools can tribute too. The money will go for:

1. Proactive research into making better head gear for current and future football players.
2. Proactively promote rules which protect against head injuries.
3. Promote clean play by educating football players at every level, to guard against helmet to helmet shots.
4. Promote proactive ways to indentify concussions or any sort of head trauma, and how to deal with it.
5. Come up with ways to give support to each individual with neurological issues as a result of a football injury. With the right amount of funding, the cost should be free, which we could work closely with private and public insurance.
6. University research into improving problems with neurological trauma.
7. We could place ads on college and NFL football games, using the words of current and former well known players.
8. Perform several fund raising dinners around the country and to help promote the cause to fight head trauma in football.

The key is to pool the knowledge and resources for one cause. I just learned today that tight end Casey FitzSimmons of Detroit announced his retirement due to several concussions and remaining neurological issues.

We could have a slogan, “Play hard and smart!” Protect yourself and others! We could stress proper technique without using the head shot.

Let’s do something about this! Life is too short to stand by and watch this happening. I want to be part of the cause.

Comment on Damn, What Happened to My Defense? by Matthew

The ‘86 Giants along with the ‘85 Bears were the two best defenses of all time. I can imagine it can be frustrating for Harry Carson to watch his Giant defense struggle. But the Giant defensive line isn’t exactly lining up Leonard Marshall, Eric Dorsey and Jim Burt.

Let’s face it, Justin Tuck is the only consistent player on the defensive line worth playing on the ‘86 team. they never really replaced Michael Strahan and it showed.

Hi Harry

In response to the above article; I can fully appreciate and accept that the debate regarding concussions of pro, semi-pro and amateur football players is indeed a serious issue, and one that needs investigating. However; I cannot help but have concerns regarding the potential effects of these discussions on pro-football’s future landscape.

For years now I have watched and loved football due in part to the high impact physical nature of the game, this making it unique amongst professional sports and so appealing to millions of fans worldwide. For me its a simple risk vs reward senario. Essentially players entering the NFL know the risks associated with playing the sport but equally know the huge rewards that are in touching distance. When athletes make the choice to play in the NFL; it is exactly that, a personnal decision knowing the risks vs rewards. Its a similar siuation to that of pro, semi-pro and amateur boxing.

To quote Heinz Ward; my worry is that the topic of concussions will make the NFL “soft” and remove the very element that makes the sport so dynamic. If players choose to enter the arena who are we to argue!? I’m completely in favour of keeping players safe but lets not ruin a great sport in the process!

P.S

After playing amatuer football for 14 years as a WR I’ve taken and dealt some significant hits but its all part of the game and in my view a good part. Let players play!

Kind Regards
