BTW... LA Chargers STILL SUCK!

Tucker has done quite a bit of research on head injuries, focusing on rugby. some interesting reading.

It's terrible seeing something that actually brings a little joy causing so many injuries. I love watching the NFL, however, my inner-mommy is glad my own sons never played the sport for this very reason.

Victor Conte (among others) has spoken about how the majority (probably the vast majority) of these "CTE afflicted athletes" can plain and simple blame alcohol, illicit drugs and mostly PEDs for their "affliction".

Take junior Seau for example. Was it the limited number of hard impacts to the head? Or, far more likely, the decades of use oF HGH, anabolic steroids, pain killers, AICAR, GW-1516, coricosteroids, etc.? Roid rage anyone?

For example, watch a highlight reel of Dick Butkus. Look at the huge number of impacts he was involved in over the years. While he is an asshole, how did he avoid "CTE"?
