Gugny Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Washington television station KHQ-TV reported that Rypien was arrested after an incident with his wife near a bank in north Spokane. Rypien and his wife spoke separately with police before Rypien was handcuffed about 45 minutes later, according to KHQ-TV. Rypien, in an interview last year with KHQ-TV and The Spokesman-Review, said he once tried to kill himself -- the result of mental health issues stemming from his football career. "I suffer from a complex stew of mental health conditions," he said. "Dark places, depression, anxiety, addictions, poor choices, poor decisions, brought about from dozens of concussions and thousands of subconcussive injuries from playing this sport." https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/27096044/ex-qb-rypien-faces-domestic-violence-charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He rushed for just 13 yards on 10 attempts as the Bills fell behind the Washington Redskins, 24-0, early in the third quarter. Kelly had an awful day, too. He threw four interceptions, two coming deep in Bills territory, that eventually turned into Redskins touchdowns. He also had two of Buffalo's incredible six fumbles, was sacked five times, and even caught a pass for a loss of eight yards. James Lofton had the best game for Buffalo, catching 7 passes for 92 yards all I know, is out of the four superbowls, the redskins defeat was the most frustrating for me.

There are plenty of guys who suffer from brain trauma from their playing years who don't go around breaking the law and hurting people. And there are plenty of people who do bad things without having brain injuries. CTE is the perfect condition to blame because there is no way to know if you have it until they cut open your brain after you die, and even then there is no way to know if CTE caused you to do bad things anyway. It's such a huge unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
