The Panthers should be sure and have a safe trip home.

I have a suggestion. For football in general. 

There is some thinking in the practice of neurology that eight hours of silence every day, preferably at bedtime, will protect the brains ability to function and preserve it's cognition.

Bedtime is the only time most people have the ability to create silence for their mind.

But, in the case of football, if the players would take a complete day after a game played to do nothing. That's right, nothing. A shower or bath, maybe. Put some clothes in the washer/dryer, but, don't bother pressing them with an iron until tomorrow. 

By nothing I mean no reading, no television except for an occasional short cartoon. Nothing that requires the brain's chemical balance to be used. Each football player regardless the level of the sport (college and high school have their games on Saturday) do nothing the entire day after the sport. 

Football is a contact sport. To counter any blows received during the game, spend an entire day after the game to do nothing. Complete relaxation, no drugs, no alcohol; good food. 

I could not be more serious and the NFL should get this information from neurologists and decide to make it a rule for it's players.

I hope everyone enjoyed the game. It had it's moments. Sometimes with the Super Bowl that is all one gets.

Good night.
