Another life made "better" by football... YAY FOOTBALL!!!

Another story of a brain-damaged, discarded cog who sacrificed his brain (and, soon, his life) for The National Religion.

It's another one you've probably heard of too:  Former Steeler Antwaan Randle El.

In an interview with the Pittsburgh-Post Gazette published to Yahoo! through Business Insider, Randle El states that, six years out of the NFL, he wished he'd never played football professionally at all.
""If I could go back, I wouldn't," he said. "I would play baseball. I got drafted by the Cubs in the 14th round, but I didn't play baseball because of my parents. They made me go to school. Don't get me wrong, I love the game of football. But right now, I could still be playing baseball.""
There are days he has to exercise caution going down the stairs, sometimes needing to go down sideways so as not to fall.

Massive memory loss as well, Randle El is only 36.
