Considering with the kind of money some of these guys make, they can just hire a full time assistant to remember stuff for them, while they swim in pools of money.
I think we can say without a doubt that Seau wouldn't make that trade.Money isn't a substitute for quality of life. I'm sure Junior Seau would have traded most of the money he made over his career for another 40 years of life.
Also notable is that we still don't have full evidence about concussions. While what's out there is already pretty damning, the NFL got to hide away a lot of their own evidence as part of the former player settlement, for instance.

Excuse me if I don't shed any tears for the NFL players who make millions while he have soldiers that served in our countries army homeless on the street that can't get any medical attention because the government screwed them.
Chris Conte is on a 4-year, $2.6 million contract. If he manages to save $2m of that and gets a 5% return on his investment, that gives him an income of $100,000 a year. And that's ignoring tax.
Of course, some guys make much more -- perhaps Conte will if he makes it as far as another contract, which is by no means sure, given his concussion history -- but you shouldn't think that the average NFL player comes out "swimming in pools of money".
At 25, you think living to 60 or 70 is forever. When you are 40 or 50, you realize that if you die in your 60s or early 70s, it is way too young.

"Was it Barzini or Tattalglia?"Interesting. Chris Conte's grandfather was actor Richard Conte. His most notable role was Don Barzini in "The Godfather".
In terms of what Chris Conte said. I dunna know. Could be blind youth talking and the lack of perspective that he has 60 or 70 more years of living to do and football is only a small part of life. Could be that he has a firm belief that he was meant to play football and is scared that he can't do anything else with his life. Who knows.
Compared to the average american 2.6 million dollars in 4 years is an INCREDIBLE amount of money

I'm in my mid 40s and certainly don't feel that way. I'm fine with not reaching the crap your pants, not recognizing your family years. I think far too many people fall into the trap that they should avoid risks so they can live as long as they can.
