Burfict Hit on Antonio Brown’s Head – Bing video
List of NFL players with chronic traumatic encephalopathy
Wait til all sides of the story come out. Tired of people trying to diagnose who needs “help” when they don’t even know the facts. We know how the media paints pictures of people who move to their own drums. He needs help. He has mental health issues. Not sure if it’s CTE or another neurotransmitter imbalance, but he needs help. A simple google search of his interactions with bosses/women/police…he has significant mental health issues that prevent normal social interaction…I don’t know how he cannot be suffering from CTE.
Him and many other players I’m guessing. Erratic behavior is definitely a symptom. My husband has said for years that he hasn’t been the same since that hit he took from Burfict from the Bengals when he was playing for Steelers ..
He has had literally EVERY opportunity to get help. From back when he was w/the Steelers until now. He has $$$ & more resources than anyone. He CHOOSES not to get help. When will we as a people start holding people accountable for their actions instead of excusing and enabling them?
Maybe he’s just been coddled his whole life and thinks he is above any kind of judgment? He was a jerk in Pgh. A jerk in Oakland. A jerk in NE. And now a jerk in Tampa. Absolutely possible. I don’t know why anyone would act the way he has always acted. Something is wrong with him. He needs a reset. That reset could be counseling, medication, a combination of both…something.
He leaves a path of destruction wherever he goes. I agree 200% with Garrett. It’s obvious he is suffering from advanced CTE. Those repeated hits and concussions have really affected him. And people don’t understand but with CTE you can’t even help yourself. It’s very sad to watch what is happening to AB. And RIP to your father.
Translation: AB is referring here to “Super Gremlin”, a song by fellow South Florida native Kodak Black. The song focuses on lost bonds and betrayal, which AB likely feels with Tampa Bay after walking out on them shirtless in the middle of a game.
They need to find a way to diagnose CTE before the athlete is dead.
I guarantee that over half of the players are already suffering from it with all of the continuous hits to the head. Do you actually believe Arians doesn’t know what made AB so angry? Unless Brown truly has CTE and is behaving completely irrationally that story makes no sense. Why would a coach or an organization not want to know the cause for this behavior? I want to know. I don’t know if he knows, but based on past erratic behavior, it’s not a stretch to think that Arians could be just as confused as the rest of us. You’re acting like AB has never done anything that would be considered “strange”. Second, maybe he feels it isn’t his place to say.
Give me an example of a reason for AB refusing to play (and likely earn a large bonus in the process) that Arians wouldn’t feel right sharing with the public. If an employer is confused about an employee’s actions should they ask them for an explanation before firing them? What are you talking about? His employer asked him to do his job and he refused. That’s grounds for termination with almost any job. I’m talking about the REASON he refused to do his job. That reason might be grounds for a lawsuit with almost any job if it involves preventing the employee from earning money that has been defined in a contract.
TOTAL HORSESHIT! I live in Tampa. ARIANS told him 2x to go into the play…he refused. Arians said “get out”. Had he stayed & acted like a teammate, he VERY well could have made 2 of his remaining 333k/ea incentives. Only 55 yds, and 1 td, would have gotten him 666k 2day. Why are people willing to spread this story with no explanation for why AB refused to go in the game? A guy who loves to play football passes up a chance to earn huge bonuses for playing and few people care to ask what caused this to happen. I don’t get it. Is it just hate?
If AB is a role model This world is in trouble.
Are you serious? He wasn’t benched at all, when he wouldn’t go into the game when Coach told him to, twice- he was then told to “get out”. He wasn’t benched and he wasn’t standing up, he was sitting down on his team. He has certainly been a great player, but I don’t agree that he’s a great role model. I hope he grows up and takes responsibility for all his actions and finds peace. That would be role model worthy!
Showing your son that someone isn’t a team player? (What is it, his 4th? 5th team?) And the display he put on in the middle of the game walking out…are you serious? It’s all about Antonio. Maybe that’s why no one wants him anymore. Aren’t there better role models than AB? I guess teaching your son that quitting because you don’t get your own way is ok. Everybody’s wrong and I’m right attitude won’t get him far in life. So, you want to see your son be ungracious in defeat and quit when the going gets tough? I’d hope for higher ideals personally.
“Son there is a valuable lesson in all this. If you are unhappy with your playing time or role, just fucking quit. But do it in spectacular fashion” He was told to go in and play, and AB refused. BA tells him to leave, and AB throws his stuff off. Terrible role model for your son. Your son deserves better. Anybody applauding this crap has never played team sports. Dude tried to let his team down. He won’t be missed. He never got benched, he was even asked to go in twice and he refused! AB got some issues, and now he’ll never play in the NFL again.
When do people realize it isn’t everyone else, it’s AB that’s the problem. How many teams does he have to get thrown out of before people see?
So you’re teaching your son how to be a bitch when things don’t go his way instead of working harder? I’ll visit your son in prison when you don’t. What Brown did today was pathetic. And yet here come lots of people supporting him.
I guess there’s no expiration date for him on boorish behavior. Just unreal…
You are completely incorrect here. First of all, Brown refused to enter the game.
Second, I suggest that as a parent, you would want your child to not look up
to a man that has been nothing but a prima donna/spoiled brat his entire career.
You seriously need to expand your son’s circle of influence!
Please find another role model for your son so he doesn’t grow up to be really selfish, inconsiderate, dishonest and all-around obnoxious. Your son better get to a shrink as quick as AB if that is the type of person he looks up to.
Guess you’re ok with assaulting women.
“It’s Wrong for benching you”?
Bet you’re raising a quitter too. There’s no excuse for walking off after the coach, the Head Coach, makes a game decision you disagree with. He’s supposed to comply because it’s about the team, not individual.
You’re happy your son sees @AB84 as a role model?
He lies to his team and the league which cost him a lot of money. $1Mil in bonuses is easy if he had not lied.
He has walked out on multiple teams who have given him a shot. Paid thousands to settle out of court.
You’re crazy. Hey Genius -> AB wasn’t benched… he didn’t go back out on the field to join a play when we were told to. AB=Poor Sportsman & BAD Role Model. Tell your kid to find a better role model unless you want him to learn all of AB bad behaviors (forgery, disrespecting his team, etc.) #Fool
Become a boss and tell that to your employee who tells you their ankle is hurt. Force them to work and watch them wreck their ankles and enjoy the lawsuit. AB did jumping jacks on his way off the field. Obviously he didn’t care that his ankle hurt after he got cut…or…he didn’t feel enough pain to prevent him from doing that.
You’re not AB, I’m not AB, AB’s AB.
He had been averaging 8.5 targets a game until the jets game. He had 5 targets, more than Mike Evans, at the point he walked out mid game. What a shitty role model for your son to choose.
He’s a quitter, troublemaker, undisciplined lil’ overrated crybaby.
Your son is gonna suck at life. He was on pace to do what he usually does.

Overview
By Mayo Clinic Staff
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. is the term used to describe brain degeneration likely caused by repeated head traumas. CTE is a diagnosis made only at autopsy by studying sections of the brain.
CTE is a rare disorder that is not yet well understood. CTE is not related to the immediate consequences of a late-life episode of head trauma. CTE has a complex relationship with head traumas such as persistent post-concussive symptoms and second impact syndrome that occur earlier in life.
Experts are still trying to understand how repeated head traumas — including how many head injuries and the severity of those injuries — and other factors might contribute to the changes in the brain that result in CTE.
CTE has been found in the brains of people who played football and other contact sports, including boxing. It may also occur in military personnel who were exposed to explosive blasts. Some signs and symptoms of CTE are thought to include difficulties with thinking (cognition) and emotions, physical problems and other behaviors. It’s thought that these develop years to decades after head trauma occurs.
CTE cannot be made as a diagnosis during life except in those rare individuals with high-risk exposures.
Researchers do not yet know the frequency of CTE in the population and do not understand the causes. There is no cure for CTE. Researchers are currently developing diagnostic biomarkers for CTE, but none has been validated yet.
Symptoms
There are no specific symptoms that have been clearly linked to CTE.
Some of the possible signs and symptoms of CTE can occur in many other conditions. In the few people with proven CTE, signs and symptoms have included cognitive, behavioral, mood and motor changes.
Cognitive impairment
Difficulty thinking (cognitive impairment)
Memory loss
Problems with planning, organization and carrying out tasks (executive function)
Behavioral changes
Impulsive behavior
Aggression
Mood disorders
Depression or apathy
Emotional instability
Substance misuse
Suicidal thoughts or behavior
Motor symptoms
Parkinsonism
Motor neuron disease
CTE symptoms don’t develop right after a head injury, but experts believe that they might develop over years or decades after repeated head trauma. Experts currently believe that CTE symptoms appear in two forms. In early life between the late 20s and early 30s, the first form of CTE may cause mental health and behavioral issues including depression, anxiety, impulsivity and aggression. The second form of CTE is thought to cause symptoms later in life, around age 60. These signs and symptoms include memory and thinking problems that are likely to progress to dementia.
The full list of signs to look for in people with CTE at autopsy is still unknown. It is unclear what kind of symptoms, if any, CTE may cause during life. Little is known right now about how CTE progresses.
When to see a doctor.
CTE is thought to develop over many years after repeated brain injuries that may be mild or severe. However, see your doctor in case of the following:
Suicidal thoughts. Research shows that people with CTE may be at increased risk of suicide. If you have thoughts of hurting yourself, call 911, your local emergency number or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (800-273-8255).
Head injury. See your doctor if you’ve had a head injury, even if you didn’t need emergency care. If your child has received a head injury that concerns you, call your child’s doctor immediately. Depending on the signs and symptoms, your doctor may recommend seeking immediate medical care.
Memory problems. See your doctor if you have concerns about your memory or other thinking (cognitive) or behavior problems.
Personality or mood changes. See your doctor if depression, anxiety, aggression or impulsivity occur.
Causes
Concussion
Repetitive head trauma is likely the cause of CTE. Football and ice hockey players, as well as military personnel serving in war zones, have been the focus of most CTE studies, though other sports and factors such as physical abuse also can lead to repetitive head injuries.
However, not all athletes and not everyone who experiences repeated concussions, including military personnel, go on to develop CTE. Some studies have shown no increased incidence of CTE in people exposed to repeated head injuries.
In brains with CTE, researchers have found that there is a buildup of a protein called tau around the blood vessels. Tau buildup in CTE is different from accumulations of tau found in Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. CTE is thought to cause areas of the brain to waste away (atrophy). Injuries to the sections of nerve cells that conduct electrical impulses affect communication between cells.
It’s possible that people with CTE may show signs of another neurodegenerative disease, including Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) — also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease — Parkinson’s disease or frontotemporal lobar degeneration (frontotemporal dementia).
Risk factors
Repeated exposure to traumatic brain injury is thought to increase the risk of CTE, but experts are still learning about the risk factors.
Prevention
There is no treatment for CTE. But CTE may be prevented because it is associated with recurrent concussions. Individuals who have had one concussion are more likely to have another head injury. The current recommendation to prevent CTE is to reduce mild traumatic brain injuries and prevent additional injury after a concussion.
