http://www.bu.edu/cste/about/what-is-cte/ http://sports.espn.go.com/espnmag/story?id=3864380 CTE is a brain disorder found in athletes and old folks with alzheimer's. Mike Webster had CTE, Tom McHale, Andre Waters, Terry Long, John Grimsley, and Justin Strzelczyk all had CTE. Some of these guys committed suicide, one guy lead police on a high speed chase before he collided head on with a semi. It causes dementia, depression, memory loss, and other thing that a man shouldn't be going through in their 50's and 60's. The NFL has known this for quite some time and this is why some former players http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/23/sports/football/nfl-football-roundup.html are suing the NFL. This is why Roger Goodell is coming down so hard on the Saints. He needs to make it look like he is serious about head injuries and player safety, even though the Saints really have nothing to do with any of this. It's public perception, and a smear campaign. The NFL could potentially lose alot of money through this lawsuit, and in my opinion, this is why that Nazi piece of trash is doing what he is doing to the Saints for this so called bounty program.

I would hope that technology soon advances far enough in order to manufacture a helmet that minimizes "brain sloshing around inside the cranium" upon impact.
It's just a shame that Goodell is using the Saints and Sean Payton. I believe this is going to play a huge role in this court case.
