That's it? 4 players? What happened to the wide spread rot of paying for injuries? Did no one collect any of the money being offered up?

Evidently they just punished the leaders.

Unfortunately, it seems like it is true. At least police are investigating it as such. Gunshot wound to chest and gun found nearby but no mention of any note yet. Very sad - if true, it's too bad he couldn't or wouldn't try to seek some help. It seem like we are going to hear more of these in the future.Originally posted by Supr49er View PostComment

Just last month, a former Falcons safety committed suicide with a gunshot to the chest.Originally posted by demonbinder View Post"Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Especially when its the result of a neurological condition caused by concussions. That hasn't been confirmed in either case but we saw it with Dave Duerson.Originally posted by Spaced Cowboy View Post"Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Lets not jump to conclusions. Even mentioning suicide and concussions as being related is irresponsible.Originally posted by Al B. Sure! View PostComment

Repeated concussions and clinical depression has already been linked. Clinical depression and suicide have also been linked. While it is not the case with eveybody: concussion --> depression --> suicide is not only logical, it is also highly probable.Founder of The Glory of War, CHAMPIONS OF APOLYTON!!!

Did they end up studying Benoit's brain? I remember it was assumed that's what happened but don't recall if there was actual autopsy data. I know there were studies on Andre Waters and Duerson that were pretty conclusive."In the beginning was the Word. Then came the ******* word processor." -Dan Simmons, HyperionComment

So when is prize fighting going to be illegal? Concussions in football are one thing because at least they have helmets, concussions are an unfortunate byproduct of the sport, and the NFL is taking it seriously... in boxing, the POINT is to knock someone out!"Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Boxing is dangerous, yes; but the velocity and weight of a glove pales in comparison.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

The glove isn't the problem; it's the average of 776lbs of force behind it that's the problem. Per punch.Originally posted by SlowwHand View Post
There's a reason why pugilistic dementia was first described as far back as 1928. All the stuff the NFL is discovering now has been known about boxing for nearly a century.
Boxing is worse. The only positive is boxers only fight maybe 1 or 2 fights a year.Last edited by Al B. Sure!; May 3, 2012, 17:24."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi
