CTE  
OBJXIII : 1/18/2018 10:16 pm : link
Possibly? Sad
sounds like a pretty bad situation  
mfsd : 1/18/2018 10:17 pm : link
and the first thought I had was CTE
Derrick Ward was a Crip in his younger days  
Greg from LI : 1/18/2018 10:20 pm : link
So I cant say this is totally shocking
Not everything is CTE related  
B in ALB : 1/18/2018 10:20 pm : link
Sometimes the guy is just a scumbag.
Yeah or he's just a PoS  
DennyInDenville : 1/18/2018 10:28 pm : link
Ward didn't take many hard hits, he was the "wind" just kinda breezed around then fell to the ground

That said maybe it is CTE, he was a tough player for sure not calling him soft, he just didn't take the typical RB beating and his volume was never very high..

Sounds like his wife should file for divorce , guy has issues. Her stats at getting murdered by him just went up like 150% ++ forget the exact stat
There have been a few glimpses...

...over the years that he isn't a very good guy.
Why do we blame CTE for everything?  
ThatLimerickGuy : 1/18/2018 10:42 pm : link
Come on man. Enough.

Mr. Bungle : 1/18/2018 11:18 pm : link
"The 37-year-old Ward is required to stay at least 100 yards away from Allen-Ward and their children per the restraining order."

What are the odds!

Yep. Duh. It's just sounds like the makings of a typical American marriage... You got the answers directly in your face. What's there new to discuss here?

CTE? lol That is a good excuse though. I'm gonna blame CTE the next time I get pulled over by a cop. Its got "cant miss!" written all over it!

By the way, Ward always did seem like an unfriendly guy.

The real question is why are people still allowing someone to abuse them in today’s information and places to receive help? Sure it looks bad because he is a former NFL player but the numbers don’t lie this is a human problem worldwide.
I just hope he is locked up or gets help before  
DonQuixote : 1/19/2018 5:00 am : link
he hurts his wife or kids.
Wasn't there another story about Ward  
Modus Operandi : 1/19/2018 7:34 am : link
Sometime last year? I recall him reaching out to old friends, like HS and college buddies via FB to borrow money.

Here’s the story

This is how I show my love
I made it in my mind because
Blame it on my CTE baby

This is how an angel dies
Blame it on my own sick pride
Blame it on my CTE baby

SAIL.
cmon, nobody knows . how many times have people said things like

that in anger?
Unfortunately...  
FatMan in Charlotte : 1/19/2018 8:41 am : link
this has been going on awhile. His wife is a friend of my sister's and a group of them have been trying to get her to leave for years.

Ward exhibits all the signs of an abuser, and while CTE could be a mitigating factor, he follows the pattern that most abusers do.

He was really charming around his wife's friends at first. Everything seemed fine. Then, little arguments blew up. Friends saw here less and less. Bruises and injuries were from "falls". Slowly, the friend circle started getting cut off.

There was a huge incident down in Atlanta several years ago. I can't remember if Ward actually was arrested, but he took his wife out of town for the weekend and ended up demolishing the hotel room in a fit of anger. Things haven't been the same since then. There would be regular outbursts followed by him trying to make-up, often giving his wife expensive gifts.

The friends have been entirely cut off for 2 years and they keep trying to secretly reach out to her to get her to leave.

Not a good situation.

Oof. Somebody does know. Terrible to hear things like this about anyone.
Victor..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 1/19/2018 9:10 am : link
unfortunately my sister's best friend feels really responsible. She's an event planner and did work with Ward's wife for something in the music industry. She also knew Ward from doing NFL events and wasn't the matchmaker, but apparently the two met at a party she hosted.

I remember thinking it was cool that my sister had pics of her with Ward and the friends at clubs or events, then she started telling me the issues.

That's too bad. She shouldn't beat herself up, how could she have known? It's a shame that there are kids involved.

Or this is the life of crime that you would have predicted for him anyway.
Given how many former NFL  
Metnut : 1/19/2018 9:45 am : link
players have serious brain damage, I think asking whether a former player acting "crazy" is related to possible brain damage is fair, and would seem to be an obvious question.
A new excuse...  
HoustonGiant : 1/19/2018 9:50 am : link
for skirting personal responsibility....


It's CTE!!!

Again, loooong before he was in the NFL, he was a gangbanger.

Not all players have brain damage. Ward was a POS before he was a "star"

That doesn't make anything I said false. Former gangbanger or not, whether he has severe mental damage is a fair and obvoius question to ask.
Isn't it splitting hairs??  
FatMan in Charlotte : 1/19/2018 10:13 am : link
If he's been abusive his entire life, whether it was towards females or as a gangbanger, that's indicative of a person with problems.

Normal people don't go around beating others. seeing he engaged in abusive behavior throughout life, it is more likely he's a POS with mental issues, and whether or not CTE plays a role really is academic.

CTE has become the new way to excuse any behavior that's erratic, when it really should be used just to provide context on why somebody committed suicide or is living as a homeless person under an overpass.
Was Ward at the 2007 reunion week 2 ?  
BIG FRED 1973 : 1/19/2018 10:16 am : link
