Where football meets racing

So apparently, racing safety pioneer Bill Simpson and Chip Ganassi, of all people, are working together to build and test a new football helmet designed to reduce concussions. really

What you said

John Madden Handegg (football) is child's play. They should be designing new helmets for people in hockey instead so Brendan Shanahan will quit shitting himself over harmless hits.

Just found another article on this, so I thought I'd update it.

Apparently as many as 20 players tried out Simpson's designs last year, with the final product going on sale in October. Exactly none of them received concussions while testing his helmet, but some players got concussions after switching back to standard helmets. It figures that "rednecks" are the only ones smart enough to fix football
