Ex-Jet Boomer Esiason thinks he has CTE: 'All football players probably have it'

The NFL's CTE nightmare is getting worse by the day.

Weeks after a study showing 99 percent of brains of ex-NFL players examined having the disease, the doctor that discovered it decades ago believes allowing children to play the game will eventually be deemed child abuse.

As for the players that have already gone through their career, especially those that played before concussions were taken seriously? The damage is done. In the case of former Jets, Bengals and Cardinals quarterback Boomer Esiason, the current WFAN radio host and CBS NFL analyst thinks he's probably among the many doomed to CTE.
