Speaking to the media at his annual fundraising golf tournament for his college alma mater, Louisiana Tech, Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw said that he is experiencing symptoms of a career’s worth of concussions.
Tim Fletcher of KTBS reports that Bradshaw said he recently spent a weekend at the Amen Clinic in Newport Beach, California after experiencing short-term memory loss and a deterioration of hand-eye coordination. It was determined that head injuries caused the problems.
“I forgot the numbers,” Bradshaw said regarding the concussions he suffered, which per Fletcher has prompted Bradshaw to avoid discussing statistics or lesser-known players when on the air for FOX. “It’s pretty staggering; if you play in the NFL and start for 10 years, it’s not good. It is not good.”
He later said he suffered six concussions and numerous occasions on which a blow to the head required him to “clear the cobwebs.”
