Mike Adamle Interview: CTE

Hi Everyone...

Those of you who were students of mine will likely recall, ever since Dave Duerson of the Chicago Bears committed suicide in February of 2011, I have been sharing what I have learned about CTE/TBI/Concussion Syndrome with you. I was in college when Dave Duerson and the Chicago Bears won the Superbowl and his suicide really hit me hard. Since Duerson's death, I have tried to read what I could, go to conferences and workshops on the subject and ask a lot of questions with neurologists and even football players.

When the Concussion movie came out, I was happy that you would have the background of having seen actual video footage in class of Dr. Julian Bailes and Dr. Bennet Omalu for a number of years by then.

Yesterday, NBC Chicago News started an interview with former NFL football player and NBC sports newscaster Mike Adamle. It saddens me to hear that Mike also appears to have CTE as well. It is hard to see him like this, but as he says, if it will help others then it is worth it.

Here is the link to yesterday's interview with more deeper questions when you scroll down. Tonight they will continue the interview and I will post that one here when it becomes available.
