I would be willing to bet this is all CTE related. Sad to see this happen, no matter how big of an asshat someone is.

I hear yaz on this.

Also, if he could get treatment of some kind, how long or would it even work? I think this is relatively new territory for the medical world.

I hope AB can find rest without the demons.

I think he’s just an ******* and does drugs.

He was an ******* before the NFL and the money

It is CTE, told you all when he was kicked out of the league. You can't get help from this type of brain damage. It only gets worse and worse each day.

We only have a record of violent CTE deaths to go on from former athletes who all seem to end up killing themselves. Our only hope is he doesn't take anyone else with him...

Sadly as the money dries up and the attention goes away he’ll get worse. Just a sad situation and someone who coulda gone down as an all time great. Football is secondary of course to a human being completely out of his skull….

Throwing shoes is minor. Locking her out of her house is a little worse, the threatening to shoot her is the most worrisome action. He has to find a way to peacefully interact or.. find a way not to interact.

we could sign him on the super cheap if he goes to prison. I wonder if they could get him on a work release program?
ankle monitor would let the defense know where he was at all times, though

Maybe it's CTE, maybe is isn't. Maybe he is just a jerk. Why do we always need to maker excuses for people being jerks?

True that. But we would be interested in him more as developing out other younger recievers.

And on work release we get him for 6 days a week. Win win

I remember Ryan Clark talking about Brown being a jagoff after he got his big contract.

So a few hits in the head he goes into super jagoff mode.

Pro fighters get knocked out in mma all the time and most don't turn into super asshats.

There is a super famous story about a railroad worker who survived an explosion that sent a railroad spike through his head. He went from a friendly nice guy to a total asshat afterwards… brain damage absolutely can alter your character… it can also magnify flaws and cause reduced inhibitions… much like being drunk or high does

Has he even looked for help?
