We make fun of BJ sometimes and think he might be crazy...but CTE?

[Bitcoin]

BJPenn.com should do an indepth diagnosis on BJ Penn.

According to SD, every fighter is on PEDS, and every fighter has CTE.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

Without a doubt.

He's been fighting for ages - those two fights with legit 170lb fighters Rory and Nick were brutal beatings.

He's slower, looks have dazed everytime we've seen in the octagon since those fights.

Add in his erratic behaviour and all signs point to CTE.

This part is pretty much common sense.

You guys wanna hear the craziest possible CTE Story ever?



Synopsis: This guy was standout college quarterback that led his team to three championships, played in the pros too but took tons of hard hits. He went fishing by himself one day and called his wife in a panic saying he was terribly confused and he thought 2 hairy giant men were following him in the woods and trying to kill him, his cell phone then pinged 4 miles apart at 4 different locations within a few minutes and he was found dead, face down with his clothes on backwards, at the final location where the ping was, and in an area that they searched multiple times after his death but his body somehow appeared there days later. They removed his brain and found he had level 2 CTE out of level 5, and although it is one of the most mysterious cases out there, right up there with Henry McCabe and other Missing 411 disappearance, it was ruled CTE caused his death.

Either CTE is the most terrifying affliction ever and makes people have super powers, he was murdered by two random dudes that somehow transported his body dozens of miles all over random places in minutes, did not rob him and put all his clothes on backwards for some reason, or this dude was taken by Sasquatches or got involved in some paranormal woo-woo business. Anyway you cut it, it is terrifying, especially since he was a very healthy super alpha male, showed no symptoms of mental illness, had no addiction issues and could easily defend himself.

To be fair

The guy was FAR bigger

BJ wasn't remotely trying to fight him

BJ easily stuffed his takedown

I wouldn't be surprised. If anyone follows football, pay attention to Antonio Brown and how he's acting recently. Some are suspecting CTE after this hit.

With the way BJ has been recently, could be.

That is an absolutely stinking ko.. stanky neck'd him

it was an early stoppage! Penn got up and finished him.

CTE is a disease in the earliest stages of research, some scientists don’t even think it’s a distinct clinical syndrome from other established brain diseases.

Penn might have sustained brain damage in one of more of his losses but it’s very speculative to think he has a neurological disease.

Source?

No Neuropathologist would rule CTE as a cause of death because it's in the earliest stages of being understood.

I've seen that rumour it makes no sense.

Even if you ascribe to the theory in CTE It takes 8-10 years for it to set in and is usually seen in people in middle age. Antonio Brown was acting like a retard from his teenage years just like Aaron Hernandez.

Before someone says they diagnosed CTE in Aaron Hernandez and he was 27. The lab who diagnosed CTE in him were the same lab who diagnosed CTE in 99% of NFL players. They also diagnosed CTE in NHL player Todd Ewen. That was contradicted by 6 other independent labs who all found no CTE in Ewen. When that lab (Boston University) tried to meet to establish a consensus panel, they again diagnosed CTE in a bunch of people other experts in the field didn't deem significant enough to be CTE. Boston university have been criticised for being able to find CTE "in a rock" by their fellow professionals.

Check the story I linked. His brain was sent to Boston and they found he had level two CTE. The official ruling was that he got confused, freaked out and fell down and suffocated to death. "CTE" did not kill him as cancer kills someone, but it is said to have caused him to freak out. Obviously, once you further study this case, it becomes ridiculous on it's face, especially considering he had said he was being stalked by two large men/beings and his cell phone pinged in multiple locations, some as far away as 4 miles, and all within a matter of minutes. This would have been impossible unless someone picked him/his cell phone up in a helicopter and was haphazardly just flying around. Also, if he was so discombobulated, how did he manage to get his clothes off and put them on backwards? That seems a low priority in a panic attack rule you think you are being stalked. He was also found without his shoes too, which for some reason is a staple in high strange 411 cases, paired with the clothes being on backwards or even taken off and folded in a neat pile.

Fair enough but Boston university have been heavily criticised by their peers in the field as I was mentioning above.

Here is what Forensic pathologist Dr Peter Cummings had to say about stage 2 CTE (timestamped);

Yep, I am aware that as someone else said here, 'they (BU) would diagnosis a rock as having CTE'. Whenever you deal with these super weird cases in the 411 files, they always will find ridiculous pedestrian explanation so they can shut the case and get eyes off it as soon as possible. Check out that Henry McCabe story too, that is another super bizarre one in which they said he simply was drunk and drowned to death, tho they say he apparently walked something like 10 miles in 20 minutes right before he died, said he was shot (tho there were no shot wounds or foul play in the autopsy), called his wife at the time of his death and left a message that sounded like he was being attacked by a group of velociraptors, and after all these bizarre non human sounds were being made, a human voice says "Stop It" and all goes silent.

My understanding is BJ and his crew he runs around with have always been kind of a-holes everywhere they go.

Uh, lay off the crack bro? Assuming the details are valid, the phone signals would just have been wonky. Why would Bigfoots, velociraptors, aliens, etc. either teleport the dude back and forth or run like the Flash with him? Why take off the victim's clothes and put them on backward? The dude was zonked out of his mind and did it to himself.

 

[StoneWT]

Honestly, BJ is probably the top male candidate for CTE with Cat Zingano the top one for females.
