Is there any evidence that suggests that CTE will turn you into a murderous thug?

Maybe it was Joe Horn who shot him because he fucked Willie Roafs wife?

Let's say this comes to be true. What does the NFL do about CTE. They would appear to be creating killers. Self or otherwise.

Didn't he kill people at Florida?

Or is every NFL player an angel and only CTE is to blame for their moral failures?

Has OJ trotted out the theory yet?

Probably had it long before he went to the NFL.

Sorry, I just don't equate murder and suicide. Sure, each ends in death. But plenty of people who would never physically harm anybody else take their own lives.

You're not going to sway me on this one.

He very well could have contracted it in High School. To Tiger's point, they should sue everyone if they are serious about this.

I suppose the Patriots would just need to show that he got it before he arrived in NE.

That's the issue here.

Obviously Baez will bend over backwards to keep out any evidence of prior bad acts but ultimately the NFL should be able to establish that he was a shithead well before he got to the league.

Hell, he played more games for Florida than he did for the Patriots.

Blatant money grab. I have no doubt the guys eggs were scrambled but if he had it that bad due to 3 seasons and 38 games with the Patriots, he was clearly pre-disposed to it and his behavior in his late teens certainly suggests that he was already well down the road to miscreant before he got to the NFL.

Gonna have a damn hard time proving causation here.

OK. That's not what I'm trying to do. I'm just asking questions to spur conversation.

Otherwise it will turn into a Smith thread.

Smith normally just kills drives.

Also wasn't Junior Seau known as a high character guy? Whereas Hernandez was always running with the wrong crowd?
