Dan Bernstein had an interesting take on Duerson. Duerson was very much up on the research related to football players and brain injuries, especially early dementia and something else (CT or something?). Now that more details are coming out, Duerson was beginning to show early signs of dementia, had no $, and didn't want to be a burden for his family. Dan called what Duerson did "heroic" because he didn't want his family to have to care for him like a few others former NFL families have had to for other players who are in full-blown dementia and are close to vegetables. Terribly sad story.
