I don't think your lil frail midget azz will have to worry about that anyway.

Damn i remember he was a solid RB.
I know we complain a lot about the softness of football but maybe they have a point in making it safer. Too many young brehs dying from the after math of head trauma/injury.
RIP young man

Definitely remember him. Had some good years at Cincinnati. 45 is way too young and this will CTE thing , if that is what this is, will not go away. I honestly don’t know how the game could and should address this for future generations.
RIP Rudi.

CTE
I wouldn't be to quick to blame this on CTE

How do you know it was CTE?

Not necessarily
"but we're told he had been recently struggling with mental health issues and the possible effects of CTE that he could not overcome."
" Florida authorities said Tuesday, as his agent called for more resources to combat chronic brain damage."

I read that article.... Can anyone tell me how CTE is diagnosed?
It can only be diagnosed post-Death... but tell tale signs are Change of Character, Depression, Paranoia, Impulsiveness, Memory Loss, Aggression.
One minute your normal, and then get you find yourself covered in blood because you assaulted your spouse/family. Basically like "someone else" took control of your body, and then when that episode ends, you realize that you cannot control your own body anymore... and it's only going to go downhill anymore... so you end it.

It could be just depression. It's tough when you stop being a player. Being a star and not having any money issues. People underestimate that.
It's tough on people who played college ball but didn't make it to the NFL. I have a cousin who hasn't gotten over it in 30 years.
I used work with a former LB for my jags. That shyt burns when they have to get a job! Imagine playing in the 80s and 90s and only made maybe a few million...then you turn on the game and see scrubs getting a million per game! Some of those vets be hating like a mufukka. But I understand.
They always put it on cte but sometimes it's just plain old depression.
