The man's not well. Remember that hit back in 2016 when he was with the Steelers? With what we now know about CTE, wouldn't be a bit surprised to learn this may be the catalyst for some of his behavior.

That's a hell of a hit.
Football players, fans, coaches all love the game but at some point one has to address what we are learning (clinically) about the risks of CTE. Junior Seau, Aaron Hernandez, Jovan Belcher, Dave Duerson and on and on. I know these guys CHOSE to play but like you say, a hell of hit and imagine the cumulative effect over all the years.

Being in the equivalent of a car accident thousands of times since their Pop Warner days just cannot be good for the human brain.

My son and I were talking about that during the ALABAMA V Cincinnati game the other night. Couple of players took some huge hits and we were like can you imagine doing that for a living day in and day out?

I get a massive headache from just shooting a shotgun a few times. I couldn't imagine what I'd feel like if I got hit like that for a living.

My best friend's son started having seizures right before his 16th birthday and they went on for several years.
The doctors told him football had nothing to do with it but I ain't buying that crap.
He eventually had brain surgery and as long as he takes his meds he is fine now.
