I wish the rags would quit running stories about him.
I wish people would stop saying things like that is so great for him.
The MEDICAL FACTS are that he cannot FUNCTION AT ALL.
His brain cannot make new memories. He cannot comprehend what is going on around him. His mental faculties will NEVER advance beyond that of a 7-year-old child. For all intents and purposes he is a shell of his former self, and will never remember a SINGLE THOUGHT. THESE ARE MEDICAL FACTS. Stop extolling the virtues of his progress. He is a cautionary tale of safety in all aspects of football. From game to practice, every summer we hear another story of someone dying in training camp. When will we learn? What will it take?

1. Since when is it a fact that he's never going to advance beyond a 7yo girl in terms of mental capacity? He may never be the same, but I've not once seen doctors say he's never going to regain that brain function.
2. His brain injury had NOTHING to do with football. The fact that he happened to be working out was coincidental.

Your MEDICAL FACTS about his condition do not lead to a cautionary tale about football, unless you want to link working out to playing football, in which case the only cautionary tale would be that no one should work out because it may lead to cardiac arrest and anoxia to the brain. In terms of the "virtues of his progress", the FACTS seem to be that he has made progress. Will he ever return to his previous self, no, but will he continue to make some progress, yes. And those incremental improvements mean the world to those around him. I know, I've seen it happen. Weird post.

Perhaps part of the reason for the article was to create some publicity for an event for his foundation...
"This year, it happens to fall on the same day as the second "Run 3 for 30," which will be held on Sunday, again at Crow Creek Park. The race will raise money for the foundation, which was created to raise awareness of brain injuries, particularly the rehabilitation process that follows."
