Brett Favre

No excuses for Aaron Hernandez. I think he was just a punk from childhood and the went to Florida and got in over his head . Imagine coming from Bristol CT and suddenly being the stud QB of the Florida Gators with all those girls, fanboys and yes drugs floating around. He was just a punk. But I am sure CTE played some part in his demise.

Junior Seau

I am sure there are more I am missing.

Thought you were a college football expert. He didn't play QB.

the majority of people blame the person, as if its a choice, rather than the illness/injury.

True, sir. Much like opiate addiction…willpower simply has no say in the matter at that point. I see it every single day.

As someone who has had 1 pretty significant, diagnosed concussion and maybe other undiagnosed, less significant ones, I wouldn't wish one on my worst enemy. I had PCS for a week or two after the bad one and can understand how one wouldn't want to live if they felt like that every day from now on. I can only imagine how bad Junior Seau must've felt. My heart goes out to Tua because if he only knew what his future held, he'd likely never play another snap and be proud not to!

You are correct.
