Your Wide Receiver Explosion Of The Week

((HT: FNF on TSN))

This qualifies as one of the nastiest hits you'll see for a while...

Last night in the Green Riders- Stampeders game, Marshay Green met Simon Charbonneau-Campeau helmet to helmet


Calgary actually had a 24-0 lead, before having to hold on 31-24

C-C was able to jog off the field under his own power, but he'll have a close eye kept on him this week to monitor the idea of a sure concussion.

Jahvid Best Suing Helmet Makers And NFL Over Concussions

((HT: ESPN))

((HT: FS West))


So, now with Best released and not employed by an NFL team, he is now suing helmets makers Riddell and Easton-Bell over his concussions that he suffered. He is, obviously, looking for some amount of financial pound-of-flesh, but his lawyer doesn't have an immediate amount handy...

He is filing out of the Wayne County (MI) Circuit Court and his lawyer, Bret Schnitzer, is ready for what happens next:

((HT: NHL))

Adam Pardy of the Winnipeg Jets took a hit from the Blackhawks' Brandon Bollig in the near corner, knocking a pane of glass into the stands.

The glass didn't shatter into the standard four-billion pieces (or two halves) or look like someone got a huge cut to get treated... but one fan wanted a souvenir...


The Hawks won 4-1, by the way...
