Makes sense

Most of their fans try and kill themselves too

How many concussions did Kramer suffer? CTE?

He's had a pretty tough time since his retired. One of his sons died of a drug overdose in 2011. Hope he's able to get the help he obviously needs.

Maybe he couldn't stand Marshawn in Beast Mode.

It really is, the guy was 50 and looks like he has some pretty serious issues. I wonder how often he played through a concussion? I just read a quote from Pettine saying Pryor needs to get back on the field if he wants to make the team...the pressure to play hurt is still intense today, and it was a lot more so when he played.

sidenote: according to his Wikipedia page, he holds the record a couple of Bears passing records

Kramer currently holds the Bears' single-season record for passing yards (3,838) and touchdown passes (29)

don't know if he's awake or not but failed suicide usually ends up bad...brain dead, whatnot.
