For anyone over 45, you will probably remember that Roger Staubach had to retire from the NFL after the 1979 season due to concussions. He did TV and became one of the most successful commercial real estate company owners in America and sold that company for nearly a billion dollars. Not too bad for a guy that wore a 1960s helmet and more concussions than could be counted.

That was back when football was physical.

Seems like if any ex-player should be a poster-child for CTE it's him.

Hes 51. He’s older than Hernandez and Seau were when they died.

Pretty much anytime an NFL vet has something go wrong people blame CTE.

I think There is a definite link between CTE and football, but they haven’t really shown a link between CTE and all these symptoms people are associating with it.
