They yanked me up to my feet and said, "Okay.  You're good to go."  I played the rest of the game.

That was my first concussion but not my last.  (This is the point in the story when most people say, well, that explains a lot).

You and me both.. I played with concussions and all manner of injuries. I took a baseball square to the right side of my chest as a kid that left me with a permanently dented chest on one side for the better part of 30 years. Do ya think they let me play after being knocked backward 10 feet into the backstop OFF my feet? Heck yeah!  But it's not only sports. I've worked on jobs where it seemed like no amount of injury was enough to get the rest of the day off. After my 40s if i was hurt on the job enough to feel like I needed time off I just took the time, bosses be damned and was fired from a few. I had a high speed grinding wheel fly off and hit me in the nuts. Boss didn't want me to leave. Guess what I did.. I left and was promptly fired.. 
It's good to be retired now. I have more scars n shit from work than Carters has pills. (I still don't know who Carters is though)
