In depth article into Larry Johnson
Very long, but very interesting. He believes he is living with CTE and struggles to not think about suicide.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/spo...=.1fbfbd72a552 “I could be Aaron Hernandez,” Johnson says, and indeed he sees the former Patriots star as a kindred spirit as much as a cautionary tale. |

Sad stuff.
Sure, but the repetitive subconcussive hits couldn't have helped. And it's very possible that high school ball is enough to cause these sorts of effects. |

I love football, and I'm probably going to continue watching for a long time. But when the time comes for it to go away, I can't say I'll miss it. I might even feel relieved. It's a strange dissonance.

tom savage having a seizure on the field might have been it for me. I can't watch anymore. My favorite LJ moment was when the chiefs went for 2 to win the game. It was a pretty much a no doubter because of the line and LJ's power.

Sounds to me like LJ is bipolar and has been since he was a little kid. I’m sure football and the numerous hits he has taken to the head while playing have added to his mental issues, but LJ was going to be a ****ed up individual with or without football.

In MMA when they get knocked out, a referee jumps in between and calls the fight over. After this, a medical team surrounds the loser and immediately doctors him.
In the NFL, they go back to the huddle disoriented and hopefully go on for the rest of the series without anybody noticing. |

Bring him in for a look?
He just needs to take the diapers off.

My favorite LJ moment was in preseason and he darted for a 99 yard touchdown. It's not in the record book but wish it was.

Who knew that someone who was willing to ram his head into 300 pound dudes at full speed would be a little unbalanced in life........

This. LJ was for sure a head case, but I wish we had seen him with a decent coach. I miss watching him punish the **** out of DBs.

Right. Him having giant hole to run through and murder the secondary might be a crime against humanity. Roaf and Co were ****ing other-worldly.

Russell Wilson skipped out on concussion protocol in a tight game earlier this season. It was horseshit. |
