The choice isnt between “football kills everyone” or “its fine these guys are just unlucky.” Football absolutely impacts your body and lifespan in a negative way. But in a group as large as “ex pro football players,” there is bound to be some freak early deaths and young onset diseases that are not related to the game.

Everyone is jumping on football…no one wants to address the steroids and cocktail of other drugs these guys choose to meddle with. The money they waste and know they can’t retrieve because there’s no job that’ll pay them as before, etc.
Like the guy posting how many of them died. Half of them dird from tragic accidents. Plane crash, vehicle accident. Please.

God did not take anyone. Stop blaming God. Junior decided to end his life.

also, love this coming from the guy that accused Garret Uekman, the football player from Arkansas who died last season, of dying of an over-dose 5 minutes after the post was up.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. That wasn’t cool

Yeah, sorry about that. If I can change…then you can change…WE ALL CAN CHANGE

I don’t know if it’s true or not, but apparently Seau’s suicide note said something about not being able to live in a world where Yardwork didn’t exist.

if we dug into this farther I think we’d find it all started with “Artie’s Picks”

“Oh man…that’s gotta be crazy. Though my biggest concern wouldn’t be remember what almost happened. It would be the Mrs. never letting me hear the end of it.” HuskerDawg

Dawg – maybe I misread, but I read him to mean that his kid almost died, not that he misplaced him/her.

On second thought, maybe you were making a joke after all.

I feel like had my dad killed himself as a teenager it wouldn’t have been any more selfish than my grandparents’ reason for having him (only had him cause they needed more work on the farm and half of his 9 siblings were 10-16 years older than him). Except for the part where I wouldn’t exist. That would be totally selfish.

This may beat the Roberto Clemente joke from earlier for line of the day.

Take Jimmy Johnson, take Tommy Thompson, take my best friend Bo.
Take anybody that you want as long as she don’t go.
Take any boy in the world, daddy please don’t take the girl.

So I unfortunately have seen first hand what it does to a family. It’s pretty devastating to say the least.

Sorry to hear that. Yeah, seeing that first hand is about as heartbreaking and gut-wrenching as it gets.

Selfish is fair. I know parents that this has happened to and their lives have basically been over ever since. Still recovering over six years later with no end in sight. So sad to see.

My wife’s brother committed suicide a week after we got engaged two years ago. So I unfortunately have seen first hand what it does to a family. It’s pretty devastating to say the least.

I’ve pretty much decided I want my son to be good enough to have a nice HS football career, but not good enough to play any further than that.

Although, I have a feeling shit is going to get real real by the time he gets to play, and football is going to look much different than it does today.

I almost lost my younger one when he was 3. The events of that day are burned in my brain.

Exactly. It’s like a tornado goes through a neighborhood, but it keeps coming through every fucking day for those who are left behind and they know it’s coming and they can’t do anything about it.

I took the 2 month old to get shots today and was so sad when I saw her in pain.
