I'm glad he played,... all else aside, Bo was a childhood hero in so many ways... magical.

Autopsy says former CU star Rashaan Salaam shot himself in the head (Denver Post, 12/29/16)

The coroner’s office asked his family whether they wanted the option of additional neuropathological analysis to determine whether he suffered from a common condition for athletes suffering from repeated head injuries called chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) prior to the autopsy but they declined.

His brother, Jabali Alaji, told USA Today after Salaam’s death that he believed Salaam displayed “all the symptoms” of CTE, including depression and memory loss.

Deputy Boulder County coroner Dustin Bueno previously told The Daily Camera that CTE examinations are not done in routine autopsies. He said that brain matter would need to be sent to an outside lab for testing, but added that they would only do so with the family’s permission.

That beat up Heisman will go for $10 tops. He fumbled it like 5 times the night he won it and god knows how many times high as a kite.

some of them are 3000 percent

NO! It's not your local lenders that are fraudulent. It's your IRS and even worse your State tax department. From previous experience, I owed 364 dollars and was out of state. Didn't even recognize WV as my home state. After 7 months, I now owe close to 10k. That's hypocrisy at it's most inherent form.

Crazy to think he's been out of the league for a number of years already... time flies man.

Michael Pittman had been cleared to play against ATL. Got on the team plane and was then scratched as he failed another test in ATL. Something about the flight and pressure may have effected him.

Having prob 20+ concussions and at least 5 of them serious blows to the head, I can absolutely believe that both Pittman and Moore will have serious side effects lingering for some time. At some point, it's not worth it.
