The entrie situation is just weird
Not that weird, players have been denying they have concussions for decades. New concussion protocols won't stop a player from lying because they don't want to miss time, especially a player that has been around as long as Wideman who came up in an era where players were praised for playing injured. That mentality doesn't simply turn off.
