Um, Chris Henry, Aaron Hernandez. I remember there was a college player who offed himself and was found to have signs of CTE at autopsy a few years ago, but the name is escaping me. Remember, there have been some idiot coaches who ran the Oklahoma drill in Pop Warner.

Junior Seau maybe

Junior Seau was in his 40s, following a NFL 20 year career. So doesn't quite fit. We're looking for people whose brains turned into Swiss cheese at a younger age even than that.

[Brown's] antics were so unreasonable that barely twenty [20] minutes into the deposition, his counsel asked for a break [so] he could speak with [Brown] about his demeanor.

AB signs with the Buccs on a one-year deal

iamskibibitz: UNC_Samurai: Kicked out of Florida International University after fighting a security guard

I was going to correct you and say he got kicked out of Florida State. But, no, you're correct. I knew, however, that he had something to do with Florida State and turns out he was denied admission for poor grades in high school. Which begs the question: how stupid does one have to be to be denied admission to Free Shoes University as a football player?

Oh, my brain is scrambled eggs after playing hockey; being a 5'8" defenseman and making it all the way to D-1 college hockey will do that.

I'm 39yo. My ex-girlfriend who is a mental health counselor is convinced that I have the mood swings and tendency to pour booze the way I do because of it.

Then again, she's a manipulative coont. I can't trust anything she says.

Well, that's one red flag right there. They're professional manipulators. And then there's the pattern I've noticed, where people who take up that line of work seem to have issues of their own, which perhaps  could have been what originally sparked their interest in the field. Anyway, you're probably well rid of her. Still, that mood instability could be something. I guess those around you may have a clearer picture if you start finding yourself lost when you step off your porch at 65, and maybe by then they'll have a conclusive test that doesn't involve opening up your skull.
