Prayers for Jahvid Best...
I don't know if any of y'all were watching Cal-Oregon St. (I just saw the replay), but it's always scary / sad seeing a kid brought off the field in a stretcher. (Seeing his fall was just as bad.)
They're saying that he has 'just' suffered a concussion, and has movement in all extremities, which is great. I wish him the best for a speedy recovery!
Re: Prayers for Jahvid Best...
OMG thank you for posting this....that was one of the worst landings I have ever seen in a sport pro or collegiate and I was just looking online to find something about him
the body is an amazing machine because he hit like a limp rag doll, it was terrifying and as a warning for anyone it was heartwrenching to watch so view with that in mind
That was a horrid fall, and the posturing he was doing immediately afterwards was really scary... sounds like good news though.
Although I did hear this morning on ESPN that it was his second concussion in 8 days. A first concussion is never a good thing of course, but subsequent concussions, especially so soon afterwards, equate to brain damage. It's ugly.
It's scary what these football player do to their brains during their playing years, and how little we know about preventing it (other than not playing at all). There's finally some good research being directed at the long-term effects of multiple concussions, but it'll be a long time before we have a clear picture of how bad the damage often is.
Glad Best isn't more seriously injured though!
