You know, it's easy not to like this guy. Live streaming the coach's speech. Making a huge deal about the helmet. Now whatever this is.
But as Horatio pointed out, above, you've gotta wonder if he's already incurred enough brain damage to affect his basic judgment.
I can see this guy ending up broke and homeless at some point, and the NFL players union needs to seriously consider starting a program that tracks cognitive health on a real time basis, and not only as ex post facto CTE diagnosis after autopsy.

Are they able to conduct CTE testing on living Players yet?
I mean anyone can undergo a cognitive battery, but no, they have yet to develop a way to perform the chemical tests required to arrive at a definitive diagnosis on a living person.

I guess theoretically you could, but that would involve brain surgery, which I doubt people would actually do.

I wonder if they’ve tried doing a spinal tap and looking at the cerebrospinal fluid. It all flows within your central nervous system, and I wonder if whatever the chemicals in the brain that indicate CTE would circulate through the spine as well.

If you cut into his brain to check, I’m not sure it would do much. He’s clearly not using it anyway.

No matter who the Raiders hire they continue to find ways to embarrass themselves

He's had disciplinary issues since college, at least.

Try doing research on the subject.

And he's not getting 30 mil. Nowhere near.

I agree I don't think this is a CTE issue. It is a spoiled brat issue.

I fully expect AB to be in uniform tomorrow when the Pats take on the Steelers.

And to be cut on Monday morning.

Because Belichick leaves no stone unturned.
I'm a Steelers fan. This is believable. You just said it in to fruition.

To be honest, there has been so much schadenfreude on Pgh sports talk this week, Steelers sports media and fans would deserve it.

He’ll go to the patriots for cheap and be a model citizen.
