Homeless Super Bowl Champion Terry Tautolo-Football Injuries-GQ Casualties of the Gridiron-EP5 

CTE is a monster. God bless all these players and their families

I'm 60 and played a lot of sports when I was young. 5 knee surgeries, a broken ankle and broken wrist. I can barely get up and down stairs, running is something I can only dream of doing. I can't imagine what 4 years of college ball and then the NFL do to these guys.

Where is all his teammates, organization, NFL? Nobody cares unless you can do something for them.

As someone who has suffered thru TBIs ... living in society is the hardest (being in the hospital is the easy part). Everyone expects you to be “normal” and when you aren’t ... people can be horrible.

I think he is grateful on any contact he has with people since he is lonely. I'm talking even the gas station clerk.

She walked out on him after the money was gone

This hit me hard. I play D1 college football and I am in my last season. For most of my career, I've been able to avoid injury. I tore my ACL my freshman year and my shoulder labrum the following, both leading to surgery, but that's pretty light compared to what I've seen. There have been times where I was pretty sure I was concussed but didn't go see the trainer because I was afraid they were going to pull me out. I have no aspiration to play in the NFL because college ball has already done a number on me. I don't think I want my kids following my path. Every day more research comes out showing how damaging a career in football can be. I hope I can stay injury-free for my last season. Show less REPLY

Very sad, and this begins happening when kids first start out playing football.

Today is July 26th 2014. I am very sure that Tarry Tautlolo can be seen in Valley River Center food court Eugene Oregon every morning.

Gotta love ur teammates

Show some respect whoever it is

That's it my kids are playing basketball or soccer.

FOOTBALL 🏈 IS A DANGEROUS sport !!!!!!!! hello !

Be it a veteran or a former N.F.L., homelessness is a huge problem. Many do care about the veterans, but like anything else in America, the most well-known gets the most attention.

I do understand why some people refuse to believe it, because it is hard to accept that the sport you love so much causes so much suffering and damage. but that doesn't mean that you can simply close your eyes and pretend not to know about the problem. if a player has CTE he and his family can be helped tremendously by simply knowing that he has CTE and what it is. because then you know whats going on and why instead of going through all this misery while everyone can simply wonder why it all happens. The NFL needs to change thinks, because the next blow to the head during a game can be the fatal trigger for a player. I'm absolutely terrified thinking about how many people play football who might end up with CTE later on. I pray for each and every player that they will be spared this horrific disease.

Almost looks like he has the thousand yard stare.

You live in a furnished house and he lives in an animal house. All because of CTE huh. You're his.........EX- wife right??????

The Album Leaf is a great band, if you liked the back track you should check them out.

WHO KNEW colossal steroid monstrosities running FULL SPEED into each other could have a downside??

It's funny odd that CTE wasn't an issue until the 1970s, i.e. you rarely hear of playing in the '50s and '60s having brain injury issues. The '70s was when they started using astroturf aka concrete covered with a rug. I think they need to investigate this as a possible contributing factor and go back to natural turf on any or all outdoor stadiums, then get rid of indoor stadiums in warm weather cities (Atlanta, New Orleans, etc.) the next time they rebuild.

@2:00, the rock !!

Criminal. Shame on the NFL.

Lol he’s gotta go or we’re gonna move out? Are we serious here? When the money was coming in I’m sure they weren’t complaining!! How messed up is that? This is what happens man! Playing football damages the brain! And no one cares after the game is over! Same thing happened to Aaron Hernandez CTE and the violent outburst and everyone’s so quick to judge these guys, but when they are making the NFL money and giving everyone a good show they are number one they are the star of the show!! They welcome you in with open arms! But once the effects of playing football hits these guys people are like who are you? What do you want? Something needs to be done but it won’t! As long as these guys are playing football everything is forgiven and everyone’s fine with the the bad that football has done to them and the choices they make because of it. But as soon as they are no longer able to fully play and give their all to the game the NFL has no use for them and there’s no place but jail, the streets or hospitals for these poor guys!!! God bless all those who have sacrificed their life’s to entertain the world playing football I hope something is done one day!!!

what is the song playing in the background during the intro?

She feels like she lost her husband? Sure....make excuses, but if u truly cared......you would open ur door to him lady batch......

So sad

Lady at the center is super annoying, trying to drug-shame this guy after all he's been through is so unnecessary.

😢😥

I’ve had 48 concussions. Still symptom free…

Junior Seau was afraid he'd wind up the same way.

thanx mike singletry of defence

wow I wonder if that lady who was telling Shannon Sharpe still think he is a role model..

My mans fro was WICKED!! Old-school Hawaii Five-0 Villain for real.

Wow, there are hundreds of stories like this. My kids play flag football, but I'll never let them put on a helmet and pads and play tackle football. It's too dangerous.

Now that they are ready to give him a NFL payout settlement... I bet she wants to hook back up.

You can wrap the helmets in 5 ft. of NERF and bubble wrap and they'll still get concussions. The brain will slam into the skull the same way.

Sad

What s shame

alton dice

Funny how they waited until the end of the video to mention that he uses meth.

It's funny how no one cares about a homeless veteran of which we have thousands but you find one homeless Super Bowl winner and he gets his own mini documentary

These guys were used in a brutal sport. He probably has CTE.

the FIX is easy, once you get your 2nd concussion in organized football you are done FOREVER. then we would see the complaints about that

Like this going to stop a kid to play in the nfl.and make millions sad but true

Rolf, you need to read more, before you say more...

Viejonbigoton, there's more concussions in soccer then football. So be careful what you wish for.

The NFL has to disclose all the dangers they are aware of to the athlete and a total concurrence of both parties must be understood before a contract is signed. An NFL Player has to plan for their health consequences and stop spending all their money living high on the hog during their playing years. Both parties are to blame..............the NFL for repressing what they know.........and the players for not engaging responsible money management and/or procuring someone who can help them manage income that exceeds many times what most people will make over a life time.

Who had no concussions and these guys and gals look similar

This is all the people who run the NFL see🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

Samoa weakness for substance happens a lot.

Maybe crack played a part?

Football.is cruel game,the fans dont realize how much they put themselves. Through for our entertainment

trump said fu

Play for millions that's the price. Cops play law enforcement for a living and 65 or more of them are killed per year. Their avg. salary, 35-40 thousand. Don't play football. Play baseball or basketball. I had 2 concussions in high school football. And one in a motorcycle accident among many other injuries. I can't lay flat and turn my head right or left without my eyes spinning. Why ? I don't know. Further brain exams that my doctor wants to do my insurance won't cover. At least the NFL is putting up money for concussions now. And I do believe they have a pension plan if I'm not mistaken.

How about the scores of bad decisions he made which had nothing to do with CTE? Majority of professional athletes live a life of excess, especially football players. Who is this guy trying to kid?

I see lots of family problems being blamed on the vague boogeyman of "concussion". I mean concussion is a very real thing but blindly blaming various sentimental and life issues on that is a bit easy and over-indulging.

I guarantee you that if we had some kind of machine that could simulate cte for just a month for new players who are just starting football to experience what's it like living with this horrible disease that the NFL would cease to exist in a matter of weeks.
