I remember seeing Turley and Fontenot playing in Thibideaux before a Bag of Donuts show. It was during the years they trained down there. They were not good, but nobody would tel them that. This was because they were HUGE!!! I gave them an A for effort...

Had to go check out his myspace page. He has a song on there called "Flying Helmets" pretty funny and really not that bad for country anyway.

Too bad it looks like he's on his way to an early Parkinson's-type disease....

Interesting read....

From Article

Turley, who believes he was given inadequate medical care during his career by the three teams for which he played, plans to contact a lawyer about the possibility of suing the NFL. “We could be talking about a class-action suit,” he says."

“Professional players naturally want to play,” Morey says. “We want to keep our jobs, we have loyalty to our coaches and teammates, and we desperately want to win. Typically, when we get a concussion, our first reaction is to avoid the trainer at all costs. That’s just our mentality, our culture.”

For that reason, many minor concussions are routinely dismissed as “dings” by the afflicted party, with no sense of the potential for long-term consequences. “I think most of us have no idea how many concussions we’ve really had,” says New Orleans Saints linebacker Scott Fujita(notes). “In my experience, when you’re evaluated on the sidelines, as long as you can see how many fingers the doctor is holding up and you’re willing to play, you’ll play.”

In New Orleans, Turley says, “I got out of bed one day and ran into a wall. My wife had to drive me to practice, and when I got there and told them what was up, all they did was put me in a room, put the lights out and say, ‘Lay down and go to sleep.’ I was puking all over the place, in and out of consciousness – I probably could have died. At the end of the day, they called my wife and had her pick me up, and that was it.


“I had some serious episodes like that, and never did they tell me to see this specialist or get these tests or figure out if it could be treated. Now I see that vertigo is a big problem with retired players, and it [expletive] me off.”

No!! Kyle is being sarcastic in this song. Everytime you hear the word "love", substitute it with "F@%K"...that's what is in the original song, and of course, inappropriate!! Seriously, do you know ANYONE who loves Jerry Jones?!
