TITLE: Opinion: The most shocking thing about the latest statistics on CTE in football is that we find them so shocking

A new study led by Boston-area researchers has set my media feeds abuzz with the finding that nearly 1 in 4 NFL players in their sample had CTE at time of death. CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, is a degenerative brain disease. It is caused by repeated concussions and smaller non-concussive hits.

As shocking as the 25% statistic is to many, the authors have suggested that this estimate is on the “low end,” with maximum possible prevalence around 98%. Although they take care to note that the findings of this study “cannot necessarily be generalized to the American football community,” and reporters dutifully report on this caution, the announcement of this new evidence has been treated in the media as a landmark event for the whole of football. In a statement reported by ESPN, the NFL Players Association remarked that “the findings should serve as a call to action across the entire football ecosystem.”

TITLE: Scientists discover the brain has a fast lane and slow lane for clearing waste

URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/08/260811011130.htm

AI has helped scientists measure the brain’s hidden cleaning system, revealing that fluid moves rapidly around its outer spaces but about 50 times more slowly through deep tissue. The discovery could eventually help researchers detect circulation problems linked to Alzheimer’s, aging, and concussions.

🏒 The Head Game on @Wattpad – a gripping hockey novel about brotherhood, guilt & concussion recovery. When star player Lucas Reilly accidentally injures his younger brother Eric in a playoff game, both must face the consequences on & off the ice.

As a PT, I was impressed by its medical accuracy & raw emotion. Perfect for hockey fans & anyone who loves deep family dramas.
