I hope they do an autopsy of his brain.


Granted some people just have chemical imbalances or psychological disorders.


And some players might have problems acclimating to life after football.


But there also most likely is a correlation between brain damage and the increase of this kind of trauma.


If anyone remembers Dave Duerson committed suicide and asked for his brain to be donated for brain trauma research.

[UncertainPerson]

If anyone remembers Dave Duerson committed suicide and asked for his brain to be donated for brain trauma research. And Chris Henry's brain was also severely damaged.

They know the risks associated with playing a contact sport for a living.

Death Is Stalking The 1994 Chargers
It is the plot of the least likely Final Destination sequel ever: members of the 1994 AFC Champion Chargers have been dying premature deaths. Even more premature than the average CTE-doomed football player: with Lew Bush's death last week, seven players from that Super Bowl team have passed away before the age of 45.

• Five months after that Super Bowl, LB David Griggs drove his car off a freeway ramp and slammed into a sign pole. Subsequent tests would show that his blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit.

• In 1996, RB Rodney Culver and his wife were aboard ValuJet FLight 592 from Miami to Atlanta when it crashed into the Everglades, killing all on board.

• In 1998, LB Doug Miller was struck by lightning while camping in Colorado. CPR was being performed on Miller when he was struck again by a second bolt.

• In 2008, C Curtis Whitley was found dead in his trailer in Texas. Whitley had a history of substance abuse and had twice been suspended by the NFL, and toxicology results pointed to an accidental overdose.

• Also in 2008, DE Chris Mims was discovered facedown on the bathroom floor of his Los Angeles apartment. An autopsy revealed an enlarged heart, and Mims weighed 456 pounds at his death.

• Earlier this year, DT Shawn Lee died from cardiac arrest brought on by years of complications with diabetes.

• On Thursday, Bush suffered a heart attack at his home in San Diego. Since retiring in 2002, friends say he had struggled with his weight.

A combination of freak accidents and typical post-football life demises. This is a statistical anomaly, not the spectral fingers of death personified plucking Bobby Ross's squad from this mortal plane. Still: football is a really, really dangerous game.

wtf are you talkin about *******

That we don't need to "prove" that professional football is bad for your health.

The medical community has learned much more specifically about brain damage in recent years.


And the NFL has changed its protocol as a result.


Guys used to get concussions and were told to walk it off so they can be put back in the next series.


There was a Real Sports about the exponentially higher rate of occurrence in ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) in NFL players from brain trauma.

[BunkMoreland]

damn. one of my favorites. fuuuuu. though, remember when he drove his truck off a cliff a couple years ago? this may have been long in the making.

he had a lot of concussions, too.

[datboigene]

how the eff does lightening strike you twice?

fuarrkkkk

RIP

Oh god here we go.. More Goodell fan boys trying to turn football into a ballerina contest..

Anyway, it's a shame to see a legend go out like that.. R.I.P.
