Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED

It was hard to hear my man Shannon Sharp say "I may have CTE" 😥

[earlgrey]

27 and severe CTE damn. He was out of the league for years too.

[MikeLove]

Shannon is the best combo of real and intelligent as I ever witnessed

[KeruptKiller]

What about Jr Seau? All Jr Seau life according to teammates, coaches friends, neighbors, and most importantly Jr Seau family all said that he was an amazing man... loving, caring, funny, non violent guy and did amazing things in his community. Then towards the end of his long career started not being him self. Started to get depressed, started to always be angry... then violent with him self and others. Eventually committed suicide, CTE is very real people, whether we like it or not. #RealTalk

There was a study done by Boston U recently on 111 NFL players (they autopsied their bodies). 110 were found to have CTE. This was an eye opener for me on this topic personally. Just worth sharing, it was a recent study so should be super easy to find for anyone else curious about it.

[lukedonohoe]

I listened to Shannon in another clip talking about how he was basically gifted with athletic ability rather than brains, I disagree with him completely he’s an incredibly smart man

[InvestBetter.]

Aaron had a lot of problems. CTE was just one of many.

[ocbacshabass]

Can we blame CTE on his decisions?? not totally
but you cant say it didn't play a factor. we can rationalize his behavior without sympathizing with it/him

[RyanLBrown]

Shay said it best. The human body was not designed to play football

[almonjoseph]

We are all saying don’t forget what he did. But he isn’t the only person that had terrible CTE and committed suicide this is a problem. The nfl and patriots knew he had some form of CTE and they Damn Sure Know a possible side effect of CTE is depression and suicidal thoughts. If you Know this man was in a little prison box for the rest of his life you don’t think the thought of suicide ever Came across his mind?

[dacalledj]

Dont speak on what u don't know. The man was losing his mind at a rate quicker than what was believed to be normal.

[mpiloenhlesibanda]

The fact that a Dr of Nigerian decent is the one who made the push to give this disease a name and diagnostic criteria is fascinating. He was courageous, we need the legal field and everyone around professionally to take their parts and run with it. We need better compensation for the players in this field, occupational health is very important.

[supercoachkissofdeath]

Shannon has taken over Stephen a smith in my mind he speaks so well

[patyramirez]

In my opinion, Joy is soo much better than Molly. If this was first take, 30 seconds in, Molly would be screaming at Stephen A to wrap it up and interrupting them. I know the network doesn't allow as much time, but when Cari was there it seemed like they had a bit more leeway

[andreiisidorvornicu]

Very disapponted with Shannon's take on this one. I thought he would understand better than anyone else a situation like that

[Vinyl_Kitchen]

They very carefully danced around the topic that the Patriots knew early that AH had behavioural issues and ignored them because he was an amazing football player. Anything to win.

[jimmyearly]

Repeated blows to the head cause CTE...its not totally why he did it but it sure didn't help.

Leave science to the experts. Downplaying CTE on such a huge platform can be so detrimental to people who get all there facts from TV. Shannon is just speaking on his experience

[inquisitive.lurker]

Imagine how many other brains have this and we don't know..

[drislady]

This is absolutely horrible news. I think that Shannon and Skip are downplaying CTE. It is real and always ends in tragedy. Just because you don't have it doesn't mean other's don't. Watch Concussion.
