Mike Adamle WMAQ

yes, his CTE clearly affected his short stint in the WWE in 2008. every wrestling fan for years have goofed on him for messing up names and things so back, but after the wrestling news world revealed what the Chicago media had reported, every wrestling fan has realized we feel like A**holes for laughing at him when we should had felt bad for him for his CTE induced Dementia
 
For the record, Adamle spent 3 years playing football at Northwestern, then 6 years as a backup running back and kick returner in the NFL, with the Chiefs, Jets, and Bears. He joined NBC after retiring from the Bears after the 1976 season, then moved on to Channel 7 in the '80s, then 5.

He's 67 now, and retired from football at age 27. He was never a full-time player in the NFL. Some of his problems can probably be attributed to his football career, but these things usually pop up much earlier in an ex-player's life. Don't want to make light of it, and I hope he is able to have this investigated further. It might shed some light on other players' concussion issues as well.
