For sure. I don't think anyone thinks it's the only factor. But who among us isn't somewhat fucked up in isolation that having a case of CTE - regardless of the severity - might impair our ability to make the right decision?
I despise Antonio Brown. CTE or no CTE. There's nothing redeemable about him. Aaron Hernandez in contrast seemed like a reasonably good guy. [Reply]

It was that hit by Burfict.
Seriously. I saw that hit and thought if AB isn't dead, his brain has to be permascrambled.
Antonio Brown’s trainer Glen Holt was arrested for felony burgulary & battery this afternoon. The moving truck driver said he was battered by Holt & Antonio Brown. Officers tried to contact Brown but were unsuccessful. It’s an ongoing investigation. Story: https://t.co/jxhB7V1chh

How would you feel if AB ended up hurting a member of your family or anybody’s family for that matter? MT needs his ass kicked for not bringing this behavior to light so the freak could of gotten help a long time ago before it got to this point. [Reply]

And here we are. How beautiful.
Oh man same. I practically unloaded on a Pats fan coworker when I saw it. Like you cheating motherfuckers colluded with AB and are scooping him up for another SB run. I was so pissed. The way this story played out is just unbelievable. [Reply]

We don't need to obsess about the Patriots anymore. We know the end is near for them. We're just watching with popcorn at this point.
It is a bit weird that the Patriots have rewarded their fans with 20 years that were among the most successful periods any sports franchise has ever produced, and when it ends they all start losing their minds. [Reply]
I recently stumbled upon a list of AB's incidents ever since he joined the league, which is actually what inspired this thread. I would like to point out he wasn't always a trouble maker, all his problems started in 2017, his only incident before that was kicking that punter lmao pic.twitter.com/4VG2xihOrQ
