I wasn't a big Cunningham fan, but I think it takes guts to do what he did. Dude walked away from a legit awesome job that paid well out of a principle he feels. Saying he did this for the ink is strange to me, especially when you read the source article. He's had teammates kill themselves and this clearly matters to him.
You've never heard of Cunningham? He called a few UGA games during his tenure at ESPN. He was awful, could not stand if his broadcasting partner had a differing point of view. Also, when he would make a point / claim / observation on air, he would always go over the top attempting to prove himself. Even if replay proved him wrong.
Junk science? You think football players coming out and leaving the game and saying it's dangerous is a movement agenda to end the game? I don't follow that logic.
It's a compelling read and compelling piece and the NYT doesn't care about this dude after today unless he goes on to do something about it. Again, I don't think you actually read the article.
Better date if you get "climate" "scientist" They get to make it up from whole cloth. That's who I'm going for. The made a fat buffoon rich
I'm not gonna go back in forth on this with you. I am a scientist and you flat out sound stupid. Keep pushing this false agenda though. I'm not saying get rid of football but head injuries are scary and need to be researched. If you understand the science behind it, why don't you enlighten us all?
Yea, look it up. You have to examine the brain. Kinda tough to do that with a live patient
Can't stand this guy. Actually said Gurley didn't have top end speed during the MIzzou game 2012. What a idiot!
Stupid statement. I know a couple of former NFL guys you can tell to their faces how dumb they were.
My opinion with my colleges? Not sure what you mean there but if you mean colleagues then you're right, I won't share them because they're my IP. I actually have 2 international patents for the treatment and early diagnosis of concussive and penetrating TBIs. You're fighting a losing battle here but this is my last response on this matter because it's obvious you can't be swayed and don't know what you're saying. Just regurgitating facts you see that fit your narrative
Rolo I'm gonna make you a legitimate offer: PM me and I'll try to set up a meeting with a former NFL All-Pro you can talk to. This person has lost two former teammates to suicide.... both of whom tested positive for CTE. A third HOF'er is in a nursing home. I want you to come take to him... maybe go visit the patient in the nursing home if he'll allow it. I'm certain they'd like to hear how caring and interested the League was in player's "safety" when it condoned leading with the head and using helmets that offered inadequate protection. Or that doctors ignored the obvious symptoms of lingering concussion injuries and cleared them to play. I'm certain he'd love to hear your fantasy opinion on the "junk science" behind the CTE studies. Maybe you could call one of the widows whose husbands took their lives and you talk to them? One was the first to sue the NFL... and win. I like allot of your posts, Rollo. But saying what you repeatedly do about CTE is just plain ignorant of the facts and here's your opportunity to hear it straight from a horse's mouth who's already donating his brain. Do you have the ballz?
Just PM me if you've got the cajones and want to hear the truth. The player and his wife will explain it to you with compassion. If you don't then STFU because you're only making yourself look stupid. The ball is in your court so just PM me and I'll do the rest.
