Dallas Cowboy HOF RB Tony Dorsett has CTE
Very sad news, I was named after TD. I got a chance to spend an hour nearly 1 on 1 with him in high school. He initiated a conversation with me, then we talked about football for just over an hour. He is a great human. I was waiting to get my picture taken at a charity even with him, every time he finished a picture he say, "Call Tony's name!" I kept hoping they wouldn't, and it turned out I was last.
Former NFL stars Tony Dorsett, Leonard Marshall, Joe DeLameilleure show indicators of CTE resulting from football and concussions - ESPN |

Damn....
I met Joe D when I was 14 years old at a sports banquet that my dad took my brother and myself to. He is a class guy too. |

Damn. 33 was the best.
I got to meet him a few times in the past. Always a gentlemen, friendly, and nice. Not as big a guy as you would think. God Bless Him. |

All these guys are going to end up with this crap, years down the road..greats like Brett Favre, Emmit Smith, Troy Aikmen, (not Deon sanders, he avoided hits), but...Dan Marino, Tom Brady, Steve Young, John Elway, Joe Montana...all had long careers of getting hit, hard..all week long and more on weekends...
