Default Concussions

How is it that Jason Bay missed 8 months of baseball, Morneau bumped his head and still can't throw a baseball and might miss games a month away. Yet, football players can be back on the field after getting crushed in ten days?

Of course each injury is different but a very perplexing question!

Baseball players have bigger brains therefore their concussions are more severe.

That and the fact they have guaranteed contracts and get paid regardless
