Ever since I read Malcolm Gladwell's piece in The New Yorker on the negative neurological impact that hard hits in football can have on players I've actually found it difficult to enjoy watching football, unless it's Brady and the Patriots blowing out a team. Now Terry Bradshaw is talking about the impact his six concussions and numerous head injuries during his playing days is having on his life today where he suffers from memory loss, anxiety, and depression.
Toward the end of last season on the FOX pregame show, maybe the last six weeks, I really started to forget things. That’s why I quit reciting statistics because I couldn’t remember them exactly and I stayed away from mentioning some players by name because I really wasn’t sure and I didn’t want to make a mistake.
