Sounds to me like McMahon may be deficient in a number of vitamins such as B12. I wonder what prescription drugs he is taking.

Sad to hear. My lasting memory of McMahon is of him getting pile-driven into the ground by Charles Martin of the Packers. McMahon took a lot of punishment during his career.

Yeah, this really is sad. I think everyone knew there would be a price t o pay for all the punishment, but its hard to see this in someone so young.

That was a damn crime--and after the whistle. McMahon was heading for a Hall of Fame career.
To: MinorityRepublican
After watching him try to act, I think dementia was already there. Or am I thinking of Brian Bostwick?

From the man who used to head butt his offensive lineman.

I always thought McMahon had a screw or two or three loose waaaaaay back in the mid-80's. No surprise here.

“From the man who used to head butt his offensive lineman.”
