Great read!! Thanks for posting.Jamal Lewis Making Most of Post-NFL Life—but Preparing for Darker Days to Come

That whole thing seemed like a giant setup. I think he got hosed from what I remember. I very much doubt he had any intent to go through with it.I remember seeing Jamal Lewis in person on campus as a Freshman at UT and seeing him tear it up at Neyland and thinking this dude was going to go far.
The next time I saw him in person was in 2005 when he was doing landscaping work while in Prison on Eglin AFB. A bit surreal..
My cousin was never officially diagnosed with CTE but he suffered multiple concussions in high school and in junior college and suffered from many of the symptoms. Sadly, he gave into depression and took his own life.
I love the game of football but sometimes I wonder if the game is really worth the price these athletes have to pay.
I still think he was the victim of the lazy FBI that was trying to get a big splash conviction. These guys really have no choice but to plead guilty because they have a very very limited amount of time in which to take advantage of their notoriety and talent, and these little petty bureaucrats see it as their chance to make a name for themselves and Advance their careers. That is one problem with our justice system, is that anytime you face charges if , there is unlimited Financial backing for the prosecution's case. In the unusual cases where there is an equal amount of money that can be spent for defense as the prosecution does, there is a very good chance of acquittal. See OJI remember seeing Jamal Lewis in person on campus as a Freshman at UT and seeing him tear it up at Neyland and thinking this dude was going to go far.

the eventual answer is that football will cease to exist and I predict it will be within 20 years. The financial liability enforced by courts is what is going to cause that to happen.I married into a family with a former 10-year NFL center. Went from a model person, husband and father to a raging alcoholic who literally killed himself by destroying his liver. Brain was examined and riddled with CTE.
I don’t know the answer, but the problem is real. He isn’t the only former player with this kind of story.
