H2o Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Not surprised. He played football when pretty much everything was legal on the field. People were practically trying to kill each other back then.

WotAGuy Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 I'm pretty sure being married to Kathy Lee can induce CTE - THAT is traumatic.
BADOLBILZ Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 @Sportsnet Frank Gifford's family says CTE found in late Hall of Famer's brain after death: http://ow.ly/V57rR So sad to see yet another life shortened because of the NFL.
H2o Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 So sad to see yet another life shortened because of the NFL. Yeah, 114 was right there for the taking
BADOLBILZ Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Yeah, 114 was right there for the taking I'm guessing the head he thought with probably had some serious scar tissue too.
Nanker Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 He missed a couple of seasons of game action after being knocked cold by Chuck Bednarik. It's the last play on this clip. Starts around 124 seconds in. People thought he was dead on the field. He missed the rest of the season and the entire following season. He got absolutely crushed.

Marv's Neighbor Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 He was fine till he married Kathie Lee.
Wacka Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 He was fine till he married Kathie Lee. A sure sign he had brain damage.
boyst Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Yawn There is not enough evidence to concern me about cte.
DriveFor1Outta5 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 He also lived to 84. Older than any of my family ever have.
Cugalabanza Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Giff was a pretty cool guy. Anyone who has read Exley's A Fan's Notes probably has an appreciation for his legacy.
vincec Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Yawn There is not enough evidence to concern me about cte. So the fact that 87 out of the 91 NFL players tested to date had CTE doesn't concern you?
BackInDaDay Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) He also lived to 84. Older than any of my family ever have. who'd they play for? Giff was a pretty cool guy. Anyone who has read Exley's A Fan's Notes probably has an appreciation for his legacy. my brother-in-law gave me that book after i told him how i was thrown out of the Peking Duck Bar and Restaurant for yelling - to no one in particular - about the hosing Bum Philips' Oilers were getting during their AFC championship game with the Steelers in '79!

They didn't play for anyone, that's my point. The dude lived to 84, and had an amazing life. Who wouldn't take that? Aside from being married to Kathie Lee.
Nuncha Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 So sad to see yet another life shortened because of the NFL. Dude - he was 84 years old when he died....
PromoTheRobot Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Dude - he was 84 years old when he died.... And he made a living being on TV.
