Before We Judge: Brain Injury, CTE & The Human Behind the Headlines

When former NFL player Aldon Smith passed away, public conversation quickly shifted toward his past struggles.
But is that the complete story?
In this episode of the HeadRush Podcast, Paul Frase, Corey Berry, and former Oregon State linebacker Rico Petrini explore the growing tendency to blame character before considering brain health. Together they discuss repeated head impacts (RHI), CTE, addiction, impulsivity, mood changes, and why neurological injury deserves serious consideration—not dismissal.
The conversation also examines recent public comments questioning CTE, why broad assumptions can harm families seeking answers, and why compassion and scientific investigation should come before judgment.
This episode isn't about excusing harmful behavior.
It's about recognizing the complex relationship between brain injury, mental health, addiction, and the lives of former athletes.
