TheRealMcCoy Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Quote Smelling salts are routinely carried by first-aid personnel on the sidelines and even by players like Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, star quarterbacks who have used them as a pre-game or mid-game pick-me-up. They are not banned in football, though they are in some boxing events. The substances work by stimulating the trigeminal nerve, also known as the fifth nerve, which runs from the nose deep into the brain, says Dr. Steven Galetta, chair of neurology at NYU Langone Medical Center. "That nerve, that's in your nose, goes back into your brain stem and projects into a very important structure for consciousness called the thalmus," says Galetta, who cautioned he was speculating. It's not unlike giving a little extra juice to a cold car engine in winter, says another neurologist, Dr. Douglas Smith, director of the Center for Brain Injury and Repair at the University of Pennsylvania. Smith says the loss of consciousness corresponds with damage to the brain stem, and that the stimulus of smelling salts can start a brain back up despite the injury. "There's this rubbery membrane between the hemispheres, that's like a rudder, and when your hemispheres are rotating, they can pull against each other so you end up with midline damage to the white matter tracks, all the way down to the brain stem," says Smith. Think of that next time you see or hear of pro athletes sniffing their own supply of ammonia to stay alert. In 2012, photographs caught Peyton Manning snorting ammonia in the second half of a late-season Denver-New England game. In 2011, Brady confessed on WEEI's Dennis & Callahan show that he sniffed ammonia out of a Gatorade cup ahead of a game. "We all do it," Brady said. "It's kind of a receiver and quarterback thing." Packers definitely hit Davante with some smelling salts and said get back out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrry32 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Okay, who was the dude that called the outcome? I saw somebody say GB would settle for a FG and then SF would win it with a TD. And tip my cap to Juszczyk. He's a really good player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
