A mind is a terrible thing to waste…

… unless it’s inside a university-issued football helmet!

UD‘s loving the CTE headlines leading up to the Super Bowl. Her favorite so far:

[Ken] Stabler’s Brain Damage Intrudes on Super Bowl Fun

In the same, er, vein:

Ken Stabler’s CTE Diagnosis Put[s] Damper on Super Bowl Glitz

There’s also:

NFL’s New CTE-Tainted Reality

This tainting glitz-dampening fun-intrusion risks making this year’s Super Bowl a kind of Masque of the Red Death, the field crashed by a guy in a red suit and a facemask.

Updated version of the party crashing.

    Is there a connection? Like cause and effect?

  2. Porcophile Says:

    I mean about Hoge’s comment.

  3. Margaret Soltan Says:

    I was trying to suggest two things at once: That his take on CTE’s seriousness is maybe not the most persuasive, since he himself sounds compromised by it. I was reminded of the black knight because of his seeming insistence that he’s not compromised, at least in terms of understanding his condition.
