The Big Question: Should Tebow be allowed to play today?

I have taken an unofficial poll of a dozen or so board-certified orthopedic surgeons that are familiar with the Tim Tebow concussion saga and have yet to find a single one that thinks Tebow should play against LSU.

None of the physicians in my 'highly scientific' poll have examined Tim.

In and of itself, the mere fact that anyone can get a group of ten or more orthopods to agree on almost anything, without great debate, is truly remarkable. But in fact the improbable happened...and without hesitation.

It appears to me that physicians that are routinely involved with the management of concussions in athletes but not under the pressure and scrutiny of a high profile situation such as this do NOT have a great deal of difficulty making this call. Unfortunately, if you happen to be a team physician for the UF Gators charged with the responsibility of calling the ball on this one, you will not be afforded such luxury.

Since I happen to be in the former (and I couldn't tell you even if I have been consulted on this case) , SIT TIM TEBOW.
