Punching Bag Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 And many of them based on the way they partied would be in pain either way. http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/buffalo-bills-bruce-smith-constant-pain-forgetting-things-060716 Have a coworker who was a real partier as a young man and is constantly having issues from various parts injured in falls, in fights, etc. He claims the drugs he took has nothing to do with it. All of these without one high speed collision on a football field. He does blame NFL though for teaching him that collisions are fun. Oh and has wrist and thumb issues but that is from playing Madden NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metzelaars_lives Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) Sorry, can't scientifically prove a link... wussification of America... other sports just as dangerous... war on Christmas... still skeptical about climate change... and gravity...

KDIGGZ Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) The sport with the most injuries worldwide is actually soccer. The injury typically occurs in the vaginal region Edited June 8, 2016 by kdiggz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 i think sometimes people forget they are just getting old. I have memory issues a lot and pain in many joints and back. Just turned 57. I am sure playing football could have made it worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 When younger I wrestled, then Went into powerlifting at an elite level for 14 years. I'm 48 now, and am paying the price for pushing all of that iron for all of those years. I do my best to stay in shape, but have the joints of a 60 year old. I'm fortunate I've had only a few concussions in my life. I'm sure Bruce is having effects of professional football. There are a lot of dangerous sports.
