who gives a shit if he has CTE or not? there's tons of people who have all kinds of varieties and severities of brain damage and it doesn't turn the majority of them into homocidal maniacs. people have to realize the kinds of people who willingly sign up to fight other people in a cage for money are almost always not the greatest of people on a morality level from the get go. it's not the brain damage that all of a sudden turns a pacifist into a violent lunatic. you have to have some of that evil in you already.

Wonderboy isn't evil

I recently watched an Eric Dickerson interview where he talked about a golf game with LT and two other retired players,

The interview setting was a million dollar home with three people wearing expensive clothes and watches.

The golf story was about a journalist who asked ED how he felt about the NFL. Then he asked the other 3 retired NFL players.

They all said, "Fuck the NFL. What the NFL wants is for you to play for 20 years and then go away and die."

OK.

Why do people think that they can work for Company X and get rich and retire, but then after that, Company X still owes them something?

They didn't have to work for Company X.
They didn't have to pursue wealth.
They didn't have to sweep the bathroom or block the huge guy or catch the ball or do the accounting or do whatever the job was, because they didn't have to take the job. They could have done something else.
Also, they didn't have to accept the Company X contract.

If you work 16 years, buy all your cars and boats and homes, and save 5 million dollars, and retire at 38, the sky is the limit.
You never have to be poor or hungry. You can do anything you want. You can start a biz, play golf, write a book.

Yet here they are, complaining about health problems caused by their personal job choice, and blaming the company.
There was no science 25 years ago proving that football caused CTE in X percentage of players.
NFL didn't know anything for certain. They knew Ali was punch-drunk, and that's about it.

Football causes CTE in some players, but not the majority of players.
What if Football CTE odds are higher among weed smokers?
Football CTE is not the most common outcome among retired players.
In fact, Football Not CTE is the most common outcome.
How common is weed?

Don't cry about weed. You don't know the longterm outcomes associated with weed any more than anyone else.

Anyway, maybe NFL only needs to make one change. They need to tell everyone on the planet, "Here is how we work: we pay shit tons of money to players. The players are expected to get rich and save money for retirement. We don't keep paying shit tons of money to every player for 50 years after they retire. Don't play NFL Football if you don't like these terms."

If we had a time machine and we went back and convinced NFL to say that on TV during every televised game, we'd have less whiners crying about nothing today.

Football is dangerous. What is the most popular high school sport in America today?

Do high schools have concussion baseline testing and field tests? (Yes, they do).
Because everyone knows that football players get concussions from bashing their head.

People want to play football. Other people want to watch football. Only whiners want to whine.

Yeah, those doctors that the NFL teams employ definitely have the player's best interests at heart. They've never doped a player up, and sent them back on the field knowing they were injured, right?
And the NFL would never hide data like knowing what sort of brain damage these players are getting, right?

Just shut up and dribble.

Michael Crichton was def a sherdogger

 

[Let's Dance]

So what happened? Is he in jail now? 20 years?

So, any updates on the NYBA?

I don’t think anyone has posted the most recent “news”, but probably need to take these updates with a grain of salt/creatine.

That being said, the dudes in the video do seem to fit the profile of the type of goodfellas one would imagine the NYBA knew from back in the day…



Cliffs: Phil’s family coughed up the dough to get him out of the clink and into a half-way house.

We're also 280 lbs, 6'5, and jacked. The only reason we don't take over the UFC HW division is because, you know... the brain surgery. Mostly on UFC HW fighters.

 

[mozfonky]

he was taken out. Definitely wasn't a suicide.

Probably retribution for the Odin murder.

Or who knows

but he was basically In fear for his life the last few years

where can i learn about that?

i've seen that guys vids before, seems like he's a wierd mix between mafia/italian chic and the George Michael Faith era look. Way, way, way too many of those types of guys on youtube these days. Not everyone deserves to be heard or be in a place to be heard by the world. Definitely a double edged sword , the net.

Did you know that there are more 6ft7 + people on Sherdog than there are in the NBA?

I feel like its more the 90's US MMA scene which had a lot of scummy people involved in it with Baroni being the tail end of that.

The sport then I think did a big flip and you ended up with a lot of classy people involved before it gradually shifted back to more scummy(albeit not to the degree of the very worst 90's guys), Wonderboy seems like a relic of the middle era, could well have imagined him being very popular in Pride for example.

Wow if true and he was set up by the cartels. Everyone on here needs to apologise for saying CTE + Drugs bla bla....

We are quick to name and shame without the facts presented.

No matter what is true. Us sitting here have no real facts or information to be able to make a judgement. There hasn't been any legit coverage

 

[suprah]

Maybe you are an asshole

Eh dont worry bout me little guy I deal with it. The wreck changed me completely everyone told me that. I was getting married and that ended she told me it changed me. Never got into it with many people but this made me violent and destructive. After getting 2 years in jail I went to a school for tramatic brain injuries. That got me outta jail early but didnt help my problem. Frontal lobe damage is rough you just hafta deal with it. Ashwagandha has helped me the most now it really calms me down. I can even deal with people talking shit on here now like you.
And unlike Tito this really did crack my skull I have a thin crack all the way up the side of my head to remind me.
And I probably wont even be able to remember my name when I get older cause this causes dementia.
Got a boat load of money from it tho.

Should I go line by line with the stupidity here, or does this embarrassment even need to be called out?
