Almost correct.
The NFL and their doctors lied and told them they'd be fine, and that helmets would keep their heads safe. It was a decades long series of fraudulent behavior.
If you're curious for more information, there was an early $1 billion settlement recently on this very issue. I would suggest beginning with a simple Google search.
Good luck, and go F yourself.

Tommy,
Don't take **** from Wodie. You're traveling the countryside living in some cool places as a young buck trying to figure it out and he's an insurance salesman out of a strip center in Valley Station.

Not today. Today, his diet shall be dickless.
I always get a few grins seeing our little S&C coach standing next to those dudes. His bench reactions are top notch as well.
He's been dunking on all the neighborhood goals around Lexington for leg day, cawood.
Here you go Clark, see if you can find him.

Looks like Peej is gonna be our 'short shorts' guy on this year's squad.
Don't remember Shai being that cut, either. Damn.

Top 5 football recruit this year with a top 1 all-time name: Amon-Ra St. Brown
Shai is kind of a monster of a college guard, really. Have a sneaky feeling about that guy. @DACats86
Washington is built like a Mack Truck. Gracious.
Is Shai going to be one of those sleepers that wasn't an elite recruit but is a pro ala Bledsoe?

I've been hearing and reading really good things about Shai recently, like all of you probably have. Seems a bit like a Poythress type kid with Nerlens' public outreach qualities. Have no idea if the kid can play or not, but so far he seems like a great representative for the program.
I officially take no position on any of these players until March 2018.
Yep, I already have Diallo redass - just wanted to get that out there. He has to be the early favorite for the player s735 takes into his mouth, right?
Feel like we've got some potential pros on this year's squad.
Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
:basketball:“He’s not one of the top-ranked players, but I think he’s really good,” UK freshman Kevin Knox told SEC Country. “He’s really good in pick-and-roll situations, he’s really good at changing speeds. I think he’s one of the sleepers on our team.”
P.J. Washington, another incoming freshmen, echoed Knox’s statements.
“His length, his height and just his feel for the game,” Washington said. “He can shoot it, he can get to the rack, create for others, and he’s just a big guy.”
STRENGTHS -Outstanding dimensions for a point guard at 6'6 in shoes with a 6'10 wingspan. Has the size and length to defend any of the three backcourt positions. Has big hands, and a frame that should be able to get stronger in time -Can get in a low stance and be highly disruptive defensively with his size and length on the perimeter. Will heat up the ball and slide along the perimeter. Gives his team great versatility with his ability to defend multiple positions -Fluid athlete who operates at different speeds. Has long strides getting to the rim out of the pick and roll -Willing passer who shows flashes of vision and unselfishness, especially in transition or in drive and dish situations. Sees over the top of the defense -Showed flashes of shot-making ability, indicating his jumper isn't a lost cause long-term -Vocal in the practices. Shows some leadership skills ©DraftExpress:basketball:

I actually talked to several ex NFL players last month about this very issue, inc. a prominent HOF'er. They knew the risks...perhaps not the extent of the long term consequences (that are still debatable in regards to direct correlation to CTE) but they knew the hazards of playing, concussions, etc. But in those days, they kept playing...the protocols weren't in place. I also play golf with a 4 time pro bowler who had a knack for extremely physical play...he knew the risks.
And cease with the insults...or don't, if that makes you a bigger person.
Well, CTE wasn't even discovered until 2009, so I'd be curious how these ex players knew about the risks even before it was a known to be a disease.
Will be interesting when the next "AIDS" gets discovered. Wonder if Pti will feign disbelief that he thought going to swinger parties was ok.
Don't forget to post about it on Facebook.

You sure do enjoy bringing this up, which I find amusing. Your jealousy is overwhelming, and your past behavior should really be enough to disqualify you from criticism. That's a nice way of saying you probably shouldn't really "go there," bub.
Along with 95+ of my former teammates, I died of CTE last weekend. Sad, but we knew the risks.
I didn't see Wenyen the first time. Uncanny ability to blend in to anything not very well lit will serve him well in SECW games this season.
