Modern Buddy

Another person dies too early. Great footbal player. As a Raider fan I hated watching him kill us. That said he was one of the greatest middle linebackers ever. Butkus, Singletary, Seau.

Jr was a good guy. Maybe too many head injuries, they are now thinking? Even though never recorded with one over the years, the damage gets done they say. And it can depress a person otherwise normal. Or so I heard on the news. To the point of sudden psychosis, perhaps?

I haven't time for a lot of following this....but if early reports are accurate he hasn't a history of mental / emotional troubles one way or another. Nor substance abuse. But people who experience repeated head trauma (like vets} apparently are more likely to do something like this "out of nowhere."

So I think they are starting to look past the "experiences" of the person who may do this, and look at the actual physical / neurological causes. Especially when other contributing factors don't seem present.

They will be studying Jr's brain, which has been donated to science

Guy played long and hard. What a shock, rip.
