I dunno. Young men are not good at calculating risk on stuff like this.

It does make me wonder, though, why guys like Dave Duerson and Mike Webster go down and guys like Willie Lanier and Jerry Kramer cruise into old age. Is it a hardwired risk of physiology that could one day be predicted, or did the Duerson/Webster cohort just take one unlucky hit that kickstarted an irreversible process?
