tiamat63 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Just going off the article, he goes to shop and forgets some things. I can't speak for myself because one of the few things I have going for me is my ridiculous memory. However these feels and sounds like a more common occurrence from aging. No?

The Gipper Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Heard the interview. It wasn't like he was saying: "I have suffered concussions thus I am losing my memory" He was just making a general statement about the nature of playing football. Having injuries goes with the territory. He has never missed a snap...ergo, it seems pretty clear that he has never had a concussion to the point of ever even having to take him out of a game...ever.

TexasAg1969 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 I forgot. What was the question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrb12711 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Joe is a pretty "with it" kind of guy, so I imagine he's not saying this based on a small instance of two like we all have. I'm imagining he provided the above example as one of several other things he's facing. The big picture here is that this is the type of thing that (very understandably) causes a player to retire. It doesn't seem he's feeling froggy this year, but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Steve Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Never too early to start planning your retirement. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except Joe's not old... I'm old... If I only forget three things, then it was a successful shopping trip. But like I said in another thread... Joe's a stoner. So you can be sure he always remembers Funyons and Ding Dongs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canton Mike Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 I'm a lot older'n Joe but my short term memory has sucked since childhood. My retentive memory has always been outstanding & remains very strong. I can guarantee that I'll forget something every trip to a store, but I still remember my 1st fist fight (a win) & 1st fishing trip (skunked but a special time with Dad!). Sometimes it may be normal, sometimes not. Fact is that we'll deal with it if & when necessary. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
