“I can’t do anything where I can get another concussion,” Knoxville said. “[I’m] way over my limit for concussions, but I don’t care about anything else. I just can’t get hit in the head anymore — but a lot of other guys can.”

I hope Johnny Knoxville has a care plan in place. He's not old, but he's old. And age introduces its own set of complications in the best of us, and I have a feeling that whatever manifests from all of those concussions isn't going to be kind to him. Especially if he is claiming that one more concussion is possibly gonna scramble his eggs more or less. I'd really hate to see someone pull some prime era jackass shit and intentionally crown him to attempt to screw him up on purpose. Maybe that's why they're paying Bam not to be involved.

I guess a boxer isn't the same comparison, boxers take punches to the head more often than he was getting concussed, so is there one?

Boxers can have brain issues in later life. I googled (for me too) but the results were poop.
