Homeless Super Bowl Champion Terry Tautolo–Football Injuries–GQ Casualties of the Gridiron–EP5

CTE is a monster. God bless all these players and their families

I'm 60 and played a lot of sports when I was young. 5 knee surgeries, a broken ankle and broken wrist. I can barely get up and down stairs, running is something I can only dream of doing. I can't imagine what 4 years of college ball and then the NFL do to these guys.

Where is all his teammates, organization, NFL? Nobody cares unless you can do something for them.

As someone who has suffered thru TBIs ... living in society is the hardest (being in the hospital is the easy part). Everyone expects you to be “normal” and when you aren’t ... people can be horrible.

I think he is grateful on any contact he has with people since he is lonely. I'm talking even the gas station clerk.

Very sad, and this begins happening when kids first start out playing football.

Today is July 26th 2014. I am very sure that Tarry Tautlolo can be seen in Valley River Center food court Eugene Oregon every morning.

This hit me hard. I play D1 college football and I am in my last season. For most of my career, I've been able to avoid injury. I tore my ACL my freshman year and my shoulder labrum the following, both leading to surgery, but that's pretty light compared to what I've seen. There have been times where I was pretty sure I was concussed but didn't go see the trainer because I was afraid they were going to pull me out. I have no aspiration to play in the NFL because college ball has already done a number on me. I don't think I want my kids following my path. Every day more research comes out showing how damaging a career in football can be. I hope I can stay injury-free for my last season. Show less REPLY

You live in a furnished house and he lives in an animal house. All because of CTE huh. You're his.........EX- wife right??????

Gotta love ur teammates

Show some respect whoever it is

FOOTBALL 🏈 IS A DANGEROUS sport !!!!!!!! hello !

Almost looks like he has the thousand yard stare.

That's it my kids are playing basketball or soccer.

The Album Leaf is a great band, if you liked the back track you should check them out.

Be it a veteran or a former N.F.L., homelessness is a huge problem. Many do care about the veterans, but like anything else in America, the most well-known gets the most attention.

I do understand why some people refuse to believe it, because it is hard to accept that the sport you love so much causes so much suffering and damage. but that doesn't mean that you can simply close your eyes and pretend not to know about the problem. if a player has CTE he and his family can be helped tremendously by simply knowing that he has CTE and what it is. because then you know whats going on and why instead of going through all this misery while everyone can simply wonder why it all happens. The NFL needs to change thinks, because the next blow to the head during a game can be the fatal trigger for a player. I'm absolutely terrified thinking about how many people play football who might end up with CTE later on. I pray for each and every player that they will be spared this horrific disease.

WHO KNEW colossal steroid monstrosities running FULL SPEED into each other could have a downside??
