Let's just ban all sports.TierbsHsotBoobs said:
CTE doesn't discriminate.Swaye said:Terrible shit man. At the same time, what could have been so bad for this young man to say fuck it's over? Yeah, I get it, CUOG sucks, but, as the starting QB at Cuog you are going to pull all tail you want, and certainly get at least a look at the pros with Leach's system. Chance for tons of money and all the drunk sorority ass I could handle? Where do I sign up? Something really fucking weird was in the closet on this one (drugs, gambling debts, something?).
Ts and Ps to his family, for realz. -
Mom says he had CTE, but not blaming football, how can that be unless the parents beat the shit out of him? Is that a passive aggressive way of blaming the staff or offensive scheme? Honest question.

Not to dwell on the ugliness of it, but how do you trust an autopsy trying to find subtle signs of CTE on a brain obliterated by a 223 round

CTE doesn't have to cause it, but it could contribute.

I guess they just check for atrophy in the pieces that are still intact, but tau deposits should still be able to be found regardless.LoneStarDawg said:Not to dwell on the ugliness of it, but how do you trust an autopsy trying to find subtle signs of CTE on a brain obliterated by a 223 round

They are starting to go down some other avenues because athletes from many sports are starting to turn up with it.
I was reading the preliminary of a study that suggests inflammation could be a major contributor to it which would explain young kids who have been playing three sports since age six have a 65 year old brain by age 21. Athletes are always beat up no matter the age. -

Yes, excessive inflammation. So your distance runners that always have some kind of joint problem from the pounding, basketball players that are always banging and getting hacked, etc.dnc said:

I think it has some legs. If athletes in general have a much higher percentage of CTE across the board than a tech kid that has never ran more than 10 feet then it makes some sense.
Until they find a way to test for it while people are still alive then it will mostly be guess work. -
This is really chinteresting, and dramatically changes the narrative. It's no longer about head chinjuries (at least not exclusively). This puts every sport in the crosshairs.Mosster47 said:

I believe this started when it started coming to light that soccer players were turning up with it and they blamed it on heading the ball. When you really dig into it how often does a premier league player head a ball that has a ton of pace to it and it's less than 20 times a year. So, if we are saying it's only hits to the head and so few can cause it then a fist fight you had in middle school might mean you'll lose your cognitive function by 55.dnc said:

I've read something being studied at Cal that might tie a lack of sleep to it as well. The only time your brain heals itself is during deep sleep and since most people don't get the required 7-9 hours when you get a concussion and you stay on your normal 5-6 hour sleep routine you get to a place where you can pass the eval to get back on the field but the damage wasn't repaired at all.
It's really chinteresting and something I research a ton being so involved with the game and having two young sons that both want to play. Maybe Bobby Boucher's mom was right and da foosball is da devil. -
Its almost like life is inherently dangerous

This kind of shit would lead you to believe anyone who ever played Pop Warner football is like some barely functioning zombie.
Fucking horseshit -
A 21 year old QB who almost never gets touched had the brain of a 65 year old with progressed CTE. When do you think it started exactly? The Friday before he killed himself?Pitchfork51 said:This kind of shit would lead you to believe anyone who ever played Pop Warner football is like some barely functioning zombie.

I'm fairly certain I have it and my EEG, CT, and everything else comes back perfect. The research is in its infancy, but it would be foolish to disregard any probable cause. -
Yeah but now the evidence is that fucking anyone who played any sport ever has it.Mosster47 said:

If everyone has it no one has it.
Millions of people played football , soccer, basketball and yet like 1/100000000 kills themselves.
This is the accutane scare all over again.
Never understood that one. High school kids that take a miracle drug and get cured of acne BECOME depressed??
Give me a break.
I took that shit. What a fucking miracle -
If Helinski has CTE, what kind of a shitshow is Falk's brain?

Your Oregon predictions suggest you have full blown CTE.Mosster47 said:
