20+ years in the NFL? There's no telling how much concussive brain damage he had.

There's going to come a time when they know more precisely how bad concussions are and when they do, don't be surprised if it's the end of football.

A couple that we are friends with, their son suffered one in high school ball last season, and he's not the same kid. It's not a developmental change either - it was definitely the concussion.

Goes to show: you never know what people are going through. Post concussion/steroids, whatever, he had what seemed to be a good life, laid back cali lifestyle, tv show, notoriety; depression, pain and anxiety are real killers. Makes you wonder how many friends and family members need someone to talk to that don't show the signs.

Even though there were whispers that going off the cliff was intentional, how does one know whats in anothers mind who is trying to protect a secret or others
