I don't know how anyone can not think its both issues related here he was prob having a ton of issues related to brain damage guy played 20 years at a extreme high level and contract position. I played 4 years and i would guess had maybe 2 concussions 1 somewhat serious and i can tell you they are damaging in all affects.
The only thing i can even remotely relate to to anyone who hasn't had a bad one is a extreme hangover only worse with mental instability, vision, body function.
I have no doubt its this on top of the life style issues he could feel he has no place without the sport he has been apart of, add the $ issues the loss of his ex wife. It doesn't have to be extremely bad it just takes 1 second of fuck this pull the trigger or drive off into a wall or cliff. Some people act like its so fucking hard to do something like this once its done its done.

Watch out everyone, we've got a brain scientist over here who disagrees that repeated head trauma leads to a degenerative brain disease called chronic traumatic encephalopathy which is linked directly to cognitive and emotional problems as well as depression.
Thanks boat3 for setting us straight.
From what I have read the high amount of concussions these players suffer make it very difficult for them to cope with the depression that happens when they exit the limelight, have marital or personal problems or blow thru their finances. But one has to ask themselves how did these players treat their spouses and other people when they were at the high point of the careers. Did they beat and cheat on their wives on a regular basis. Stomp all over the little people when they were at the top. Piss away their paychecks on jewelry, cars and children out of wedlock. Those things have a way of coming back at you when you lose your clout in society.
Are you really commenting on his personal finances? Marriage? He was already divorced. Wow, you must have been his bro.
I do agree with you about him missing the game and being lost without it. That can be a struggle with the EX players.
IMO, there is no way he shoots himself in the chest unless he is saving damage to his head. Way to risky in you missing and surviving.
It certainly makes his accident in 2010 look not much like an accident now!
