This week, Drewby and Yergy cover the tragic downward spiral of New England Patriots tight-end Aaron Hernandez who was recently covered on a Netflix documentary called "Killer Inside. We discuss his early years as a star athlete, his career in the National Football League (NFL), his drug use and crimes, his eventual suicide in a Massachusetts prison cell, and whether or not the brain damage he suffered during his time in the NFL played a role in the murder he was convicted of or his demise. We also talk about chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), ways it has plagued professional and combat sports, and our own experiences with various things that can cause neurological issues such as concussions and Lyme disease.
