"Legendary quarterback Brett Favre testified in front of Congress that he was "recently diagnosed with Parkinson's disease." ---> he's playing the sympathy card.

 

[jjgold]

Hopefully he’ll be ok for a while

So many horrible diseases and this is another one

 

[djefferis]

I agree - playing for sympathy.

Let’s keep in mind first there is no Parkinson’s test it’s diagnosed based on physicians observations.

Secondly - its progression can vary from unnoticeable to severe. It’s like saying “I have cancer” - it’s a huge variation between having a small cancerous area of skin cancer on an ear and having metastatic liver cancer. One is easily removed and treated - the other is a basic death sentence within a year.

I do hope he doesn’t have it - or that it remains unnoticeable - horrible disease - lost both my grandmother (62) and mother (70) to the disease and watched both basically bed ridden for last 3 years of their lives and unable to care for themselves.

I really wonder if this was brought on by football.

Like CTE.

Took too many shots to his noggin.

Great find, Genie.

Football is a COLLISION sport.

Too many concussions will seriously mess you up.

I must be a fukkin asshole to box since I was young.

Boxing is risking your life.

You box for a hobby, or the title, Philly?

I was golden gloves so competitive but no titles.

I got involved in a lot of shit very young. Gambling for one. Girls for another so I never took it further than that.

But I was really fukkin good. 13 fights all ko's.

I do wonder sometimes how far I could have gone.

But I was making money young, had girls all over me, and I loved to party.

Oh well. Looking back I really can't say I regret very much except for one relationship that I seriously fukked up.

Do you have any issues from boxing?

 

[phillyflyers]

Do you have any issues from boxing?

No thank God.

I'm also a different person than I was back then, Bobby.

I was angry back then. Really angry. I'm not sure why. I had great parents, a very loving family.

But the streets.......when you're in the streets.

Nowadays, I pray and go to Church, travel, and live life.

I'm not looking for anything. If love comes then it does and if it doesn't then it doesn't.

Alot of horny girls in the Church, Philly. Scope it out. They don’t go there just to pray.
