Aikman had suffered a lot of concussions before LaVar's, and though they can get to be serious, as football injuries go, i'd say they are considered pretty minor. minor enough for Aikman to keep playing long after his first one anyway.

that's precisely how and why i brought that situation up. to contrast the very big differences between Theismann, Stingley and Aikman.
