With him it might be wise to check drug and alcohol abuse first.
You’re going to make the Six Billion Dollar Man jealous.
Some family lines are simply more physically or mentally or emotionally durable. This toughness can be learned, but comes easier if that’s already your family DNA.
“Try getting older and see what your memory is like when trying to find a word that you know like the back of your hand and it won’t come.”
Like “Rose Law Firm,” for example?
Don’t sweat it with these people. I know where you’re coming from, played ball in low minors. No use trying to get your excellent point across to the couch potato people, I will clean this up, who do not even sweat when they pleasure themselves.
Some folks have a high threshold for pain. Consider what a woman feels during labor without an anesthetic, yes, it can be done without dying. Few would volunteer given the choice. Some can tolerate it. Either they don’t feel the pain as acutely as most do, or, they decide not to be afraid of the pain, and stop trying to avoid it.
I can still see G. Gordon Liddy talking about putting a flame to his hand, and just making a decision that he was not, not going to show any reaction. I think Liddy was a Marine, which would explain that mind training.
Helmets protect the skull, not what’s inside it.
Poor Hillary, she lost all those itty bitty files that belonged to other people. Oops. I swear, she and Bill have more lives than a black cat.
“Helmets protect the skull, not what’s inside it.”
The reason the problem will never be solved is that even the players think better helmets will somehow fix things, like Favre. Nothing about super fast giant freaks who can recover from intense training and heal like Wolverine after playing football at the level of the present day NFL. What they really need is Brain Growth Hormone, it might even things out.

Go back to leather helmets and players will stop using their heads as battering rams.
Brett Favre Rejects Rams’ Offer to Return After Sam Bradford’s Injury

I used to think that, but I’m not sure now. I think there might be too much money in modern day football for it to be as much as a governor to physical play/leading with the head like it was back in the day. You have the advances of chemistry and medical treatment now. I guess it would depend on how squeamish the fans became, it might work depending on that. But it’s a moot point, the culture isn’t sending them out with helmets softer than what they have now, in my opinion.

If there is anything there to start...
Don’t feel bad. That (forgetting why I sent myself somewhere) happens to me more than I would ever admit in any courtroom or confessional.
Listen here candy ass, you know nothing about me. These sports players chose their own destiny, so no sympathy from me. people like you who put these players on a pedestal and call them heroes are really clueless. Unless you forgot, sports is a game.
