When the news broke about CTE, that was when I stopped watching my Raiders play.

He didn't have to die.

Officials ruled the 55-year-old’s death a homicide, and an investigation is ongoing. He had been living at the encampment and was discovered on the 1300 block of East 120th Street on Wednesday morning.

Friends told ABC 7 that the former Eagles defensive lineman suffered from CTE, a degenerative brain disease associated with repeated head trauma.

Sir, this is a Wendy's Lemmy.

It would appear that some things did carry over from Reddit
