I kind of side with Kannell. I'm not sure whether this whole thing is overhyped. People talk about the suicides and memory lapses, but I haven't heard comparisons between NFL players and regular citizens. Non-athletes commit suicide daily and many experience at least temporary memory lapses.

Regular citizens don't spent 25 years absorbing hits to the head in all levels of football.

Exactly. So let's compare suicide rates, memory loss, and other brain functions and see if there is a noticeable difference between football players and non-players. I'm saying that a few football players committing suicide and having memory loss doesn't automatically mean it is an epidimic because non athletes have the same issues.

I'm sure you're the first person to think of this.

Smokers get cancer...but so do non-smokers, so maybe smoking doesn't cause cancer :manny:

Had to unsubscribe from the Russillo & Kanell show a while back. I fukks with Russillo but Kanell devolved into an unlikable dude to me. Entitled and short sighted with a majority of his views
