He was definitely struggling with where he was

Yeah that was difficult to watch
Posted on 11/15/25 at 10:20 am to FlappingPierre
was he drunk?
Posted on 11/15/25 at 10:28 am to FlappingPierre
I think he may have dementia

From Wiki:
In November 2013, Dorsett announced he had signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a brain disease found in many former football players, boxers, and hockey players.[26] Dorsett specifically referred to memory loss and unexplained rage as major symptoms affecting him in retirement

Tony has CTE; he’s been living with it for over 10 years. He was unstoppable back in his prime. Glad he made it to the game with his family…..

The quarter zip he was wearing was sick though

CTE can’t stop the fresh fit

Yeah, the beatings some of these former athletes took in their careers can often come back to haunt them.
I can think of quite a few great boxers who have had a very hard time with life after their careers ended.
I've seen a few stories hit the news about B. J. Penn, a former UFC great who's finding himself in trouble with the law due to his violent behavior with much of it aimed at his family members. Those fighters are going 5 minute rounds and using 4 oz. gloves, which isn't much in the way of padding.

Gotcha, I think cte can lead to dementia as well. Either way it’s very sad. Wish him the best.

I met him at an autograph signing at a Piggly Wiggly in the 90s and he was extremely nice

Makes me sad.

He was so smooth...fastest first step ever and the prettiest runner as well.
Posted on 11/15/25 at 12:07 pm to OU812
He could make a cut without slowing down better than almost anyone I ever saw.
Posted on 11/15/25 at 12:10 pm to FlappingPierre
The OG long strider. What a legend.
Posted on 11/15/25 at 12:13 pm to Clashmore Mike
The "Just got his bell rung" era was brutal
Posted on 11/15/25 at 12:30 pm to FlappingPierre
quote:I spoke to him for awhile at the Heisman in 2023 (Daniels) and he seemed like he was having a good night. His wife is from Lake Charles and a super nice lady...and you could tell she was used to being on top of things if they went south.

Definitely sad, truly one of my favorites of all time.
