Chris Brymer went from professional football to homelessness. Friends and loved ones believe he has CTE and needs help, but are not sure how.
I don't know what Christmas it was. But it was a great one. My neighbor friend and I had asked our parents for the same exact gift; he wanted a Los Angeles Rams football uniform, and I wanted one of my favorite team, the Oakland Raiders.
We both circled the item in a Sears and Roebuck Christmas catalog so our parents would be sure to get it right.
They did.
On that Christmas morning, my friend Robert showed up at my door, with his Rams helmet in hand.
