That Burfict hit turned this man into a super villain.

No he’d been kicked out of a school for assault among other things

For anyone who might be thinking about the phrase "Kanye after Kim" please remember "George Bush doesn't care about black people" was before a single Kardashian was known or famous. Some say Mike Meyers never stopped cringing, to this day.

Let’s also not forget when he stormed the stage to interrupt Taylor Swift while she was receiving an award and say Beyoncé had the best album of all time. People really need to stop blaming Kim.

Seriously. That one I figured went without saying, but yeah two of his most famous insanity pleas happened well before anyone knew who Kim was.

Fuck me. Something like that in rugby - late, vicious assault on head - would be a year long ban, if the perpetrator ever played again.

Not a rugby guy, but doesn’t the lack of helmets generally prevent that? Can’t imagine someone getting a running start to a deliver a headbutt.

Edit: Nevermind. Just remembered Chris Benoit.

It really did though, if I'm not mistaken he took another hit like that not long after the first

Head trauma starts piling on well before players make it to the NFL. AB has been crazy, it’s why he went to a smaller school when he could’ve played for FSU. The Steelers were just able to keep him in check.

That's probably true, and that's not what CTE is like so many Redditors think. CTE can have the same outcome, but one big traumatic hit can change someone's personality.

I’ve said this for years. As a Steelers fan, AB was awesome and just did his job. After that hit, everything changed
