There was a similar football hit this past Saturday during a Cincy vs Houston game. A Cincy WR took a direct helmet to helmet blow which created one of the worst whiplashes I have ever seen. The Cincy player was knocked out cold for several minutes. I thought he was paralyzed immediately when I saw it. It would almost make you sick to see it. Can't find it to show here, but maybe someone can look it up. Looked as brutal if not more so than this hockey check. The player stayed in the hospital for the rest of the game and afterwards, but apparently suffered no long lasting effects, thank God. He traveled back with the team.
