What an awful situation. Damn our media sucks - they need to leave that family alone.

I wonder what they'll find when they analyze his brain. Very interesting that they suspect he shot himself in the chest so his brain could be used for research. Getting hit repeatedly in the head by monsters running full force at you is not good for your later years...

HGH and Steroid use make these motherfuckers so fast and powerful....but they don't do anything to protect the brain from all that extra forces they're exposed to compared to, say, 25 years ago. Its not surprising that they are losing it younger than before...but it sucks.

I also think that poor tackling may play a lesser role as well esp since it seems a lot of these guys cant realy tackle and just try going for that highlight reel hit. I think now that the first group of these types of players of this era are retiring we will see how many start suffering problems at younger ages. |

My kid had the option of taking a "before" test before football season started last year. This way, if a concussion is suspected, they have something to go on.
Seemed like a good idea to me. Wasn't cheap, but what is anymore?
