    Kurt Warner on concussions

    Last week, NFL Network analyst and former Super Bowl MVP, Kurt Warner, appeared on the Dan Patrick show and said that he would prefer that his sons don’t play football.

    After the comments, Warner was hammered by football analysts like Merrill Hoge calling Warner “uneducated and irresponsible” and Amani Toomer accusing him of trying to “trash the game.”

    Well, after their accusations, Warner fired back on his blog at KurtWarner.org…

    What is most interesting about this whole situation may be Warner’s observations about how society has become when it comes to voicing an opinion:

    First, let me say that it always disappoints me that we can no longer respect others opinions…

    Yesterday, New York Yankees legendary closer, Mariano Rivera, went down with a potentially career-ending injury. Rivera, 42, tore his anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee while fielding fly balls during batting practice. It’s possible we may have seen the last of baseball’s greatest closer ever. Rivera said this about the injury:

    “I got myself between the grass and the dirt, and I couldn’t pull my leg up and twisted my knee. ACL. Torn, actually, broken. Meniscus, also.” (mlb.com)


    One of the reporters asked him, “You’re a man of great faith. Do you think to yourself, ‘Why did this happen?’” And his response was:

    “No, I will never second guess that or question the Lord, it happened for a reason, and you just have to deal with it.” (mlb.com)


    And his career?

    “At this point, I don’t know. We have to face this first.” (mlb.com)


    Rivera was in the Fall 2010 issue of Sports Spectrum in a feature ironically titled, “Not Done Yet.”

    Joe Torre finishes huddling with reporters in the dugout shortly before the first pitch of a spring training game. One writer lingers to ask a quick question.

    The Los Angeles Dodgers manager prefers not to offer quick answers regarding Mariano Rivera, the celebrated Yankees reliever who helped Torre collect four World Series rings in the first five years of his tenure on the New York bench… Continue reading →
