My mom’s sister went to high school with him in the early 70s.

He was wild back then. Always been a heavy drinker but this is a rough diagnosis.

Feel for the guy

Playing QB destroys your brain. Tom Brady will not be able to count to 10 in 20 years.

Some of these guys would struggled with that right out of college. If it weren’t for football - they wouldn’t have stepped foot on a college campus.

Still - tough news to hear especially for some of these guys who played in an era where safety/CTE wasn’t taken seriously. It was a man’s game and guys were made to feel inferior not being able to play though injuries.

Honestly I’m surprised Aikman can still put a simple sentence together (some guys that don’t like his announcing would argue he can’t but being serious on this one)

I watched every game of his career and he took some vicious hits toward the end of his career that led to multiple concussions.

I thought at the time he’d be a vegetable in 10-15 years.
