I am excited to announce the release of my new book, #BRAINWASHED!
BRAINWASHED delivers the TRUTH behind #concussions & #CTE.
This is a guy who had to retire due to concussion issues FWIW.

Probably some solid points to be made with the science behind CTE and all that but you need someone more credible that Toddler tie writing it

A better man the Hodge shot himself in the chest because he was in so much pain that he wanted doctors to study his brain.
That can’t be said enough.

Too many years of hanging with Bubby Brister.

I look forward to reading Dr. Hoge's clinical revelations.

I've said it before. CTE is proven but I don't think it's due to hits in football games. I think it's that crazy that you need to be a great football player

Or Junior was just crazy. One of the two.

Maybe Merrill has CTE and it's caused him to do something irrational like write this book about how CTE isn't real

He wants to destroy facebook? Good, I support.

The conclusions in his book are suspect because a noted sign of CTE is tying your ties so that the knot is larger than your actual head.

That's a perfect gif you posted because she didn't know the definition of irony either.

Is this like when Tommy Morrison just decided to stop taking his AIDS meds and pretend it was a government conspiracy before dying of AIDS?

You need to read “League of Denial”
Eta: Hoge, among others is a key figure in the book

The same Hoge that sued a Chicago physician for 1.5 mill (iirc) because he wasn’t given an adequate warning about the dangers of concussions? Lol

And there a metric shite ton of former football players at all levels across multiple countries that didn’t do this, too.
