Yea I think it’s something like that too didn’t sound medical with what has been released so far.Everybody has demons, man. Poor guy. Way too young.
Correct. The welfare check was called for due to water coming from his apartment.From what I remember reading, he was found in a cold shower and had been there for at least several days due to the body's condition. The family decided to not donate his brain to CTE research and that may be due to his own wishes. I scanned the article but that is what I remember from last week.
You say the silliest shit sometimes man…I feel like every time an NFL player has mental issues or commits a crime it's chalked up to CTE. Former players teamed up with lawyers and suing the league now they got rid of the big hits and it's basically flag football.
Vontez burfict a great player and good guy was banished from the league for hitting too hard. Soon the NFL will cease to exist , UFC will probably be in the publics crosshairs next
The NFL will not cease to exist but the game will continue to get worse. Players have came out and complained that guys are basically taught to take out the legs because ant hit up top will lead to ejection and suspension. Now guys are getting hit low and getting their ACL snapped. See Chris Godwin. The NFL is also hypocritical putting an emphasis on head injuries but they are perfectly fine with their players being shot up with painkillers prior to games, see what happened to tyrod taylor.You say the silliest shit sometimes man…
The nfl and the ufc aren’t going anywhere. At the end of the day, $$$ talks. These two entities make a lot of ppl a lot of money.
Thoughts out to the Barber family. That dude ran hard.
Yea I’m with you it will exist but yes football as a contact sport will cease to exist. Just like all us know some will chk out young from this life, you know it when you sign up for military service, play rugby, soccer, basketball, run track all can ruin your body in a Milisecond or over time but everyone’s job eventually kills them if they don’t die in an accident. Lawyers and CPAs die from stress, cops and firefighters saving lives. Pick your poison it’s called LIFE and if you do live a super safe boring life that’s even more tragic. To be just old and maybe have been a Mormon librarian dying at 95 from being old. Then again my great grandpa fought in WWI drank and used snuff for over 80 years and fought every man that crossed him, killed a few, legal shootings, and was the happiest man I’ve known he didn’t brag about it he just lived hard, worked hard, and took no shit. Yea CTE is the main concern for the National Fentanyl League lol.The NFL will not cease to exist but the game will continue to get worse.

Guys getting hit low is old school and it’s nothing new. Neither is knees being blown out from it. Before the modern helmet they hit with shoulders or they hit low. You history of the league is limited at best. CTE is also nothing new. They just put a modern name to it. It used to be called boxers brain or punch drunk. The nfl took away the headhunting because they had to. To appease dead players family’s and to save face. Burfict did not get kicked out of the leage for hitting to hard lol he got removed for repeatedly making illegal hits. And if your the only one making those illegal hits they become cheap shots. And you get a bad rap for playing dirty. Many rules have been changed over the years and the players evolve with the criteria. No game is worth being rendered useless drooling in your own pool of piss and can’t remember your own name. Rules are rules. If you can’t figure out how to play by them you don’t belong on the field.The NFL will not cease to exist but the game will continue to get worse.
