what does jerry rice and residents of shady oaks nursing home have in common: brains!

upon the review of deceased former NFL player's brains (that were donated to science), the result of multiple concussions over their careers has damaged their brains to the point where they resemble 80 year old dementia patients with Alzheimer's disease. The official name of the condition is chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), and now I will give you a couple moments to form internal jabs at the intelligence levels of football players in general................

the image on the left is of healthy brain tissue of an average human. the image on the right is an image of a middle aged football player's brain.






now, you can get back to your math club, or whatever it is that you nerds do.

Football players have chocolate brains but the rest of us have to settle for vanilla.
