Duerson didn't kill himself so that his brain could be analyzed. He presumably killed himself because of the depression and other problems that developed from the neurological damage. But Duerson had enough presence of mind to realize that his brain needed to be preserved to demonstrate the effects of neurological damage from playing football.Originally posted by OzzyKP View Post
I don't know if Easterling and Seau had something similar in mind but it is telling that they also chose to end their lives with a gunshot to the chest, which is not the most obvious way to kill yourself with a gun."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

I saw a really moving article about Duerson ending his life and the setting up of an NFL brain bank last year. It is scary to think that any American football player out there could be carrying a ticking timebomb in their heads...
I'm a non American and I even know who Doug Flutie is...

One of the best to play his position and by all accounts a good man.Originally posted by Wezil View PostI'm in the amateur business of knowing who "celebrities" are and I contend this guy just didn't try hard enough. He had to off himself to get noticed.
As an aside, I have one of his former teammates on my List at 18.Comment

Depression is also common in those that loved their jobs and are basically forced to retire. While drain damage could be a possible cause, it may not be the only cause.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

I really enjoy watching American Football, but now I'm glad my son has no interest in playing it.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”
