It will be interesting to see how in-depth they can eventually go with CTE studies. As they are starting to get "hopeful" about possible remedies/reversals/cures for other neurological diseases and disorders, you'd think they'll make some progress. OTOH, we may not like what they/we learn.

But he's sorry, so that makes it alright!

Should be at least a 3 game suspension, but the players "union" will appeal anything that comes down.
