Mark Gasteneau says he has dementia and other issues


Recommended Posts

I think Gasteneau took a few too many shots to the head before he ever strapped on a helmet

If I recall the Bills were seriously considering drafting Gasteneau. Late in the process they switched to preferring Fred Smerlas over him. He was one of the first players to celebrate to the extent he did after a sack. It caused a lot of fights. I don't mean to say this in a mean-spirited way but he clearly wasn't the brightest light bulb in the room.

 

With his prognosis dealing with the future has to be scary. I wish him well.

I truly feel bad for him, but this is not one of the better guys walking around in the day.

 

Reports of spousal abuse, family abandonment and when he was with Neilson after a sack he would separate from his team and draw an obnoxious "B" in the air for her towards the camera...real cheesy. Additionally during his boxing career his opponents were paid to take dives and MG knew about it.
