Man I hope he finds what he needs.

Lot of these guys sports kept them in a system that kept them going, without it some struggle.

Anybody know anything more on MB3's condition? Sounds like it could be concussion-related...

He gave, and he gave, and he gave, until he couldn't do it anymore.

I don’t think lack of structure is the issue for him.

What is it?

What is it?

I don’t know for sure, but seems highly likely that it is CTE based on how he played. Maybe I’m wrong.

Junior Seau is who MB3 played like for his entire football career. Let's hope and pray he can escape Seau's tragic fate. ​

Junior Seau’s Tragic Death Exposed the Lethal Impact of CTE​

Playing linebacker in the NFL requires incredible toughness. And back in the ’90s, no player exuded that quality more than Junior Seau. Following a legendary career at USC, the San Diego native got a chance to play for his hometown Chargers. The fifth overall pick from the 1990 NFL draft wasted no time showing he belonged.

After a solid rookie season, Seau went on to earn Pro Bowl honors every year from 1991 through 2002. Despite playing a physically demanding position, he missed just eight games in 13 seasons with the Chargers. During that stretch, he annually ranked amongst the league leaders in tackles. Eight first-team All-Pro selections later, Seau took his talents to the Miami Dolphins. At that point in his career, he played more of a backup role.

With 268 games and nearly 1,900 tackles on his resume, Junior Seau retired after the 2009 season. That should have set him up for a long life after football. Only the game that gave him so much also contributed to his untimely death.

In January 2013, Mark Fainaru-Wada and Steve Fainaru of ESPN reported that five brain specialists consulted by the National Institutes of Health concluded that Seau suffered from the degenerative brain disease commonly found in former football players. That came as a shock to some considering Seau never had a diagnosed concussion during his NFL career. Of course, it’s safe to say he likely endured dozens of them that went undocumented.
