John Abraham

[12intheBox]

@AdamSchefter: Cardinals LB John Abraham is suffering from memory loss and has been for well over a year, per sources. Could be end of his NFL career.

@AdamSchefter: After suffering another concussion Monday night, Cardinals LB John Abraham has left the team, quite possibly for good, per sources.


Sad.

Even sadder for his family.

It's sad that this happens, but at that position you have to expect some major head trauma. All the rules in the world aren't going to change the concussions, and brain injuries. It happens, and will continue to.

Hopefully as the game transitions to speed, some of the roid use will succeed, and juiced up monsters won't be running into each other causing catastrophic head trauma.

 

[LazyWinker]

Memory loss isn't something that is terribly easy to hide. Either he was really good at hiding it or his teammates and coaches weren't looking out for him. Shouldn't have been playing if he's been suffering from memory loss for well over a year, as Schefter reported.

 

[Mackeyser]

As someone who has short term memory loss, it's not as hard to hide as you may think. If you show competence and people care about you, they give you the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, that only makes the problem worse. It did in my case. I'll pray for him...

 

[Barrison]

Even for a division rival I feel bad for the dude, any head/brain injuries are just sad...

 

[DCH]

Jesus, I hope he can live the rest of his life with a clear head and recognition of his loved ones.

 

[Dodgersrf]

I hope he doesn't come back. For his own well being.
This isn't the time to be a tough guy.

 

[ZigZagRam]

I guess he forgot that he had forgotten things because of his concussions?

 

[badnews]

Reminds me of a thing a pot head said to me once:
"I was going to quit... but I forgot."

Quit now John Abraham. Enjoy your family and the money you've earned.

 

[TheDYVKX]

Stupid stupid decision. If he's depressed, has memory loss and all the other stuff I've heard, he just needs to get out now. Don't ruin your life further Abraham.

 

[mr.stlouis]

That sad, was always a very respectable player.

ARZ D takes another hit, Cambell is the last straw.

 

[Alan]

Huge mistake IMO. I'll send him some positive vibes but I think he'll need more than that.

 

[Athos]

Retire now man. Retire now.

Do it for your family bro. One more hit and he may not even remember his family. What's more important dude?

 

[Memento]

I don't feel all that sorry for him. He made the choice to come back...much like he made the choice to drive drunk at least two times.

Nobody deserves to deal with symptoms like that, but he made his choice, and I think it was a very foolish one.

Dude is gonna mess around and be taken off the field in a stretcher

On topic-Reminds me of the Lawrence Taylor character in Any Given Sunday. It's sad.

Off topic-I would like to see a picture mash up of Lawrence Taylor Swift, btw. That would be hilarious and not sad.

Lawrence Taylor would DESTROY Taylor Swift. Run through her like a paper bag I bet.

Hahaha!

Oh my God.
Here's the next big reality tv show, and a new football league: Pop stars vs. Former NFL greats.
I'd watch it.
