Why was it not a big deal after the NFC Championship for that Giants DB to say they had "tested" Kyle Wilson's concussions??

Seriously Kris P, you're my dude, but what are you not understanding here?

The clips you posted are meaningless, because I don't think anyone disagrees with those points. I don't think serious NFL fans are taken aback by the language, euphemisms or metaphors and if they are, they need to open their eyes and ears or watch a halfway decent sports movie. I don't care about locker room rhetoric, it's a violent sport. The NFL Network runs blooper reels of Gruden rattling off curse words like it's a highlight. Saying something about a player's injury and testing it, is a part of the strategy in almost any sport and if the injured player is in some sort of long term danger, he shouldn't be in the game.

My problem (and I think the problem most people have) is the fact that Williams instructed players to go after the ACL of another player and told his guys to hit Gore in the head knowing damn well the effect of concussions. It's magnified due to the fact that the Saints had a bounty program for three years that paid guys for things like "Knock Outs" and "Cart Offs." Even the people who say "that's just a part of the language of the game" concede he crossed the line when he talked about going after Crabtree's knee and hitting Gore in the head.
