Alaskan Grizzly Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Read this earlier today. Heartbreaking. Unfortunately, I believe we will see a lot more of this. Peace Interesting point you made. I saw a recent YouTube video where Lance Briggs was being interviewed by Rich Eisen. When asked about what he was up to recently; Briggs replied, "staying busy, trying to stay ahead of CTE." Which I don't think he meant that he'd been diagnosed*, just that he knows it's out there. Gotta be disheartening to know that lurks in the shadows. Especially for football players. *Edit: I stand corrected. Apparently he has been diagnosed as having CTE symptoms. http://www.si.com/nfl/2017/03/14/lance-bri...s-chicago-bears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madlithuanian Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Sadly so. I know I heard Dwight Clark has similar issues recently too. Read this earlier today. Heartbreaking.

lemonej Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Sadly so. I know I heard Dwight Clark has similar issues recently too. I actually saw that on one of the networks saying that Clark has ALS and there was a quote attributed to Bernie Kosar saying that he was sorry to hear about Gayle Sayers and that Clark my have been suffering symptoms while making picks for the Browns. What was Bernie suffering from when he couldn't get the Browns past the Broncos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemonej Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 When he was waddling backwards throwing sidearm! I can't pinpoint which network I saw it on but, whoever was reporting said that there is only to players in Browns' history that you actually can interview Kosar and Jim Brown and that's sad!
