GREAT podcast tonight. 

I KNEW Bene ate at La Vic. It's open after the bars close downtown and everyone in San Jose goes there. 

I never heard a definitive answer though. :(

Ask that man for a jersey for your boy here and I'll go to La Vic tomorrow and buy like 10 bottles of orange sauce and ship them to you.

Meant to put this here instead:

That computer test for the concussion protocol sounds like the same test that's used for soldiers before we go overseas. It establishes a baseline for your reaction time and quick memory tests. If a Traumatic Brain Injury event occurs then you take the test again to establish how you compare.

It's a basic test. Kind of interesting. Makes sense that they use it for the NFL.

I took a test at the VA for TBI... Holy poo it is tough. You have to do the same type of computer test and memory test. The test itself is about 4 hours or so. It will make your head hurt..... just taking the test.

 

The tests I've taken before every deployment weren't more than 30-45 minutes I'd say. I've never taken one that lasted hours. Perhaps the VA has a different test? The one that the active military gave me was pretty simple and straight forward. I think we had to take it again when we came back but that might've only been if something happened. I don't remember taking the test before 2008...so it might've come out around then (or at lest put into practice then). I've deployed 3 times since 2008 and I think the test has remained the same for each time.

The test must be after 2008, I got out in 2007. Never had the Take the Test. I think the test took me 4 Hours because I have a TBI lol, and kept messing up the test. I took the FACT Program at the VA for people with a Traumatic Brain Injury.
