Do you believe concussions actually exist?

Of course

Do you believe concussions actually exist?

The hundreds of concussions NFL players have over their lifetimes from high school to the pros are harmless.

[SF1900]

Of course

So, years of getting punched in the head, wouldn't cause someone like Tank Abbot to have CTE?

Next thing you will be saying is that NFL players never ever get a concussion or CTE.

Good thing you're not a neurologist.

What part of my statement said that I didn’t believe in concussions? Stay in your lane. You’re drifting out

[Fortress]

Not creating but creatine.

Nice spot. Thanks.

You don’t think Tank has CTE. sorry, i didn’t know you were a neurologist.

“How about resident I've known the guy for 25 years. As far as CTE, I'm calling bullshit. California has been trying to ban football using this as it's excused. I thought something fishy was up when it first came about”.

cte used to be called punch drunk

What is there to call bullshit about CTE?  Taking repeated blows to the head is bad for your brain, does anyone disagree?

What's your point?

[BILL ANVIL]

Add in his juice abuse. Remember him bouncing 600 off his chest? That wasn’t caffeine and creating.

Not a chance

Nope, no one can disagree that taking repeated blows isn’t bad. But is it bad enough to try to kill off a sport? I don’t think so. As a matter if CTE is a real thing (to the extent to where it’s blown out of proportion like I believe it is now) MMA would probably rank pretty low when it comes to combat sports. Tank didn’t have that long of an MMA career that I can recall. As a matter of fact he’s probably been in more street brawls than sanctioned MMA fights. I’m not saying his brain is normal (God knows it’s not) but personally, I don’t think “CTE” is the reason

what are you basing this on?

from what ive read head traumas=cte , concussion or not from soccer to auto accidents

There are a lot of studies that say that any head trauma could = CTE. In other words (and of course I’m exaggerating) if your girlfriend raps you upside the head because you left the toilet seat up....you’ll get a concussion that will lead to CTE.

I am glad I got out of hard core contact sports when I was teen (rugby, football, wrestling)

“[My body] finally caught up with all of my wild life,” said Abbott. “Blew a gasket on my liver, but I got a nice transplant and everything is moving right along. It was not without complications, though. I died five times on the operating table, had over six strokes, but I’m still here. This is the hardest fight I’ve ever had. I spent 107 days in the intensive care unit.”

Those six strokes might have had an effect.

Better pay attention, Coach.

Concussions are good for your brain.  They make it tougher so it can take more punishment.  You get a brain callus.

Lots of alcohol isnt good for his brain, plus all his supposed street fights.
True getbigger though, benched 600 lbs. on a non-Castleberry weight set.

[oldgolds]

A guy  I met who knew Abbott said he would sit down next to  smaller guys in bars and demand that they buy him beers. Said he was areal asshole.
Pat Militich said Abbott slapped him or something in a bar and Pat chased Abbott several blocks back to the hotel and Abbott refused to stop and fight. Abbott ran up to his room and locked the door.

Tank was a master of mind games, like Arnold was. Compares to when Arnie drove Mentzer cuckoo in the Olympia meeting.
