The retired All-Pro offensive tackle and former All-American at San Diego State has a message, and it's flagged as urgent. He takes two pills a day, morning and night, to control a mind he fears will prove degenerative over time. He fights intense impulses that unpredictably come and go. As for where all this is headed, he fears the worst.
What he doesn't want is to shove his cognitive issues into the dark, never to be talked about.
What he doesn't want is to accept a culture he perceived as problematic as it relates to concussions during his career.

I feel terrible for anyone who feels like suicide is the only answer to their problems.
However, EVERY SINGLE FOOTBALL PLAYER knows the risks associated with playing this game. And if they don't, then THEY are the ones who are turning a blind eye. Its like suing McDonalds because your kids got fat from eating it every day.

Not surprised, he's always been a self centered POS

Guy sounds bipolar and probably always has been.

To be fair, Turley wasn't the poster boy for stable mental health before or during his playing days either. He has an addictive personality among other things.

Unfortunately these were my thoughts exactly.
I've heard him on radio in intervies enough to know what his agenda is. At this point, whether true or not, I'm not sure how serious I can take the guy. He's bad mouthed the NFL, trainers, doctors, teams, everybody he's associated with. With this news it sounds like he was just building his case.

That's his only intention is too get paid everytime he has an injury he blames it on the NFL. I remember talking to him last year and he sounded like a POS, and then he started talking about my girl on twitter because I was talking shite about his band.
