Research on 202 former football players found evidence of a brain disease linked to repeated head blows in nearly all of them, from athletes in the National Football League, college and even high school. CTE was diagnosed in 177 former players -- nearly 90 percent of brains studied. That includes 110 of 111 brains from former NFL players; 48 of 53 college players; nine of 14 semi-professional players; seven of eight Canadian Football League players; and three of 14 high school players. The disease was not found in brains from two younger players. The report doesn't confirm that the condition is common in all football players;

The man who discovered chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is concerned that recent attention given to the condition has obscured a larger truth about the brain health of football players. "There has been so much fascination with CTE that we are going the wrong way," Dr. Bennet Omalu said. "CTE is just one disease in a spectrum of many diseases caused by brain trauma. If he doesn't have CTE, that doesn't mean he doesn't have brain damage. ... http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/20245394/dr-bennet-omalu-says-obsession-cte-obscuring-larger-truth-brain-health-football-players

only in buffalo...are Pro Bowlers not good enough. LeSean McCoy.....over paid ? Kyle Williams.....the only one loved by all ?....old....lol Tyrod Taylor.... sucks ?? Richie Incognito......low life ? Stephon Gilmore....over rated, not worth the money ? Zach Brown....one year wonder ? Lorenzo Alexander.....one year wonder ?

shady is elite Top 5 in league he is earning that big contract 2× First-team All-Pro (2011, 2013).....that's recognition.

bruce smith is a bruce smith fan....guaranteed there's something in it for bruce

RT is by far the weakest link on offense

TT led the bills to the 7th highest scoring offense. if Rex had led the defense to the 7th fewest points allowed..... the bills would have made the playoffs and this conversation would look a whole lot different.

Jared Veldheer: CTE study triggered day off to think about future http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/08/02/jared-veldheer-cte-study-triggered-day-off-to-think-about-future/

sammy says he wants to get paid big bux. in oder to maximize $$ he will do whatever it takes to become an UFA. it's likely the bills QB situation will still be unsettled. he will have offers from teams with a proven franchise QB. I think you will see Beanne & McD not spend big money at WR conclusion: Sammy is gone.

TT has everything you want in a QB except accuracy......and that will be his downfall. TT is a stud....but we need better. just get the "better" QB in here BEFORE moving on from TT. a bird in the hand is worth three in the bush....or something like that.

batty = crazy, insane

Roger Goodell: Football players live longer than non-football players “The average NFL player lives five years longer than you,” Goodell said. “So their lifespan is actually longer and healthier. And I think because of all the advancements, including the medical care, that number is going to even increase for them.” http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/08/01/roger-goodell-football-players-live-longer-than-non-football-players/

was edelman wearing one of those bright colored QB don't hit me vests ?

tweaked ?? i say he's fine.....it was hot and he didn't feel like practicing

fix RT TT will play better than Alternate Pro Bowl level

is there any player today who doesn't know hits to the head are bad ? if not, shame on NFLPA. therefore legally , aren't they subject to PLAY AT YOUR OWN RISK ?? also, many if not most, have it BEFORE they get to the NFL. the NFL combine tests for bad hearts....why not brains ? (while alive)

time to start looking at the 2018 draft

By the time you reach the NFL, it's too late. http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/after-latest-cte-study-how-much-longer-can-football-survive/ar-AAoPn99?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartanntp

CTE was diagnosed in 177 former players, or nearly 90 percent of brains studied. Researchers still don't know how common it is in football or the general population. Some players with repeated concussions never develop it. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/20153831/report-finds-brain-disease-cte-almost-90-percent-football-players

next year, as a free agent.....he will get $30mil/year

Absent a contract before Monday at 4:00 p.m. ET, Cousins will be committed to the team for one more year at $23.94 million. Then, come February, an interesting situation will become even more compelling, with Washington faced with the options of signing him to a long-term deal, paying him $34.47 million under the franchise tag for 2018 (144% increase) , paying him $28.7 million under the transition tag for 2018, or letting him hit the open market. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/07/16/nothing-going-on-between-cousins-washington-on-eve-of-deadline/

New England will win the division..... oh wait.....you said bold

9-7 with TT 3-13 without TT

all the more sammy is gone. beanne and McD do not invest big $$ at the WR position.... and now it sure looks like sammy will do everything he can to get to free agency. what a shame....Sammy is a stud if/when healthy

funny how there always seems to be an All Pro QB with great coaches & successful cultures.
