A.Brown not happy with helmet requirements

We sure dodged that bullet.

Divas are never worth the cost(s).

Dude is going to find himself on the Terrell Owens bench at the HoF.

While it’s possible, how many concussions has he suffered. I only remember that Burfict hit.

I will counter that it’s kind of a big leap to assume every football player is mentally stable and that only CTE makes them nuts. I’m fairly certain that Aaron Hernandez was a criminal way before Florida and the NFL. Why should we assume that Brown hasn’t always been this way but until he became a stud he kept a bit more quiet to make sure he got a payday? Sort of like the old adage about what changes in a relationship after marriage.

All good points but just wanted to point out that CTE and concussions are not strictly linked. A lot of new studies show that the consistent lower energy impacts experienced by linemen are actually just as bad, if not worse, than the big hits in terms of long term damage. Those big hits are usually more devastating simply for the fact that a player could outright die on the spot if they snap their neck or get some internal bleeding.

that's exactly what all this bs helmet stuff is, a smokescreen.  they've got all the talking heads talking about it.  the new helmets lessen concussions. its all for the public to feel better about football, to keep watching, to feel better about letting their kids play - so their kids will play - and they'll have players in the future to keep making money.  they don't do poo for cte.     

you know the military put sensors on troops helmets to see if the explosions they were around were enough to cause cumulative damage.  took the sensors off immediately when they realized shooting a rifle was enough.
