I remembered it was a Lion's player. Forgot it was against the Bears. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Jan 2, 18:45
I knew a guy in college, Mike Utley, who got paralyzed on the field in 1991 (coincidently, playing for the Lions) -- nm* - crash davis Jan 2, 18:43 2

The other kind of football, but I remember watching Bolton at Tottenham in the FA Cup in 2012 -- (link) - znufrii Jan 2, 18:39 14

        it was one of the reasons why kids had to start wearing neck guards if memory serves (also, I hate neck guards) -- nm - Beaker Jan 2, 18:50 2
        
        they existed before but almost nobody had them. they were mandatory in my league within a week. -- nm - mafic Jan 2, 19:14
        
        the *very next* time we hit the ice everyone had neck protectors. -- nm - Reagen Jan 2, 18:56

Makes me think of Jets Dennis Byrd but that was a spinal injury. Hank Gathers is the one I thought about when this first happened. -- nm - Bacon Jan 2, 18:39
