I was watching that game and saw the hit. As hits go, it was bad but not horrible by NFL standards. I’m not a medical doctor either, but that says to me that his brain is damaged to the point that more damage from even routine play is almost certain. He should never be allowed to play football again.
If there is any silver lining, it’s that he just signed his first real (not rookie) contract with $167 million guaranteed. He can enjoy his forced retirement.
One assumes that Grier is lying, or went looking for only the opinions he'd be happy with: "From what our doctors and the consultants we’ve talked to through the NFLPA..."
I've lived in the DC area since 2003, and stopped watching football about then because of the unique repulsiveness of Dan Snyder. I haven't missed it.

Yeah, I watched the video this morning and it was shocking just how routine it was.
I think Troy Aikman suffered 8 or 10 in his career and he admits he still feels the effects now and again. I agree completely about Tua.
