Ex-Falcons LB Tommy Nobis Had Most Severe Form of CTE, Per Researchers

Sad stuff.

You don't just get it from football either.

We are pretty sure our son has it from all his tumbles due to seizures.

It's a shitty thing.

That's why the NFL had to address the head issue thing, but that still doesn't give the NFL the excuse to call PI's when receiver is breathed on, or call a roughing the passer because a QB is landed on during a tackle, those aren't even concussion issues, that's where the NFL pisses me off.... CTE is a sad thing though, so I get the other rules... RIP to Tommy

I had to look up who this was. Never heard of him because he pretty much retired around the time I started following the NFL

When the Falcons were new and really, really bad he was their lone great player.. Hell of a linebacker.

Sad case. Dude would be a HOFer if he played for a higher profile team.
