Episode 15: Nothing says November like daylight savings time (boo!), crisp weather (yay!), Thanksgiving (woo!), and American football ('Murica!). What do we think of when we talk about good ol' American football? That's right - concussions! Uhm, no, we mean, touchdowns! Well, it's both. Nowadays you can't watch any sport without asking, at least once per game, if someone suffered a concussion (chronic traumatic encephalopathy (“CTE”) (yes, we typed that without checking. Please clap)). In the first half of this two-part episode, Dan, Beth, and Joe learned why CTE is only diagnosed after someone dies (isn't that nuts!?). They also talk about Steelers great Mike Webster, Dave Duerson (member of the '85 Bears (GO BEARS!)), and legend Junior Seau, how CTE affected their lives, and the sacrifices they made to increase CTE awareness. Then Dan talks about the Aaron Hernandez (catch American Sports Story on FX now! (that's cross-marketing, folks)) and how CTE probably (see: definitely) played a part in his tragic downfall. Then, the team stops just short of a touchdown as they tease what's to come in next week's episode.
