In old times, I never understood players slapping each other the side of the head after a play.
Still not forgiving him. I and many of my friends watched his 'retirement' announcement (we were in TEARS!) and then the b@stard left GB, came OUT of retirement and went to play for The Vikings?!?!? Why not just stab us in the HEART on your way out the door?
Yeah. I don't wish you a physical illness, but you were a sh*t to us Green Bay Packers fans/owners. Jerk.
Oh, sorry! Did you want me to tell ya how I REALLY feel? LOL!
Favre is a good guy. Loved him as a Packer. Hugely entertaining.
I would truly hope that some how, some way, someone would be able to detect CTE in its early stages, while the person is still alive!
I don't buy it.
He was a traditional passing quarterback.
I saw him being interviewed on Jesse Watters last week. He seemed kind of out of it. I knew something was going on. I always remember when he played that MNF game against my Raiders on the same day his father had died. It was an unbelievable performance. I hope he does the same thing against Parkinson’s.
“But with time, he realized every helmet rattle and every turf impact counts. “You get tackled and your head hits the turf… There was ringing or stars going, flash bulbs.””
Okay now this is absolutely BS!
In my short experience of playing defensive end I was taught to lead with my head and hit em in the numbers.
More than once I saw a few “stars” or took time to stand up, but knock on wood, I haven’t shown any signs of CTE.
If merely hitting the deck is enough to cause this then every running back, defensive lineman, back should be brain dead
I’m not saying getting your egg slammed to the turf is good for your health but neither is climbing in a coal car and descending under a mountain that gravity is trying to bring down on you.
And more than a few football players would have lived and died unknown lives doing blue collar lives or in jail.
You have to weight the pros and cons!
I don’t want to seem callous but every one of these football players knew they were getting paid a lot of money to play a violent physical game.
