Dr. Steve Broglio, Director of the Michigan Concussion Center, joined the John Curley Show to discuss the gunman who killed four people Monday evening in a Midtown Manhattan office building, left behind a suicide note targeting the NFL.

According to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, the note suggested the shooter believed he had chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a brain condition linked to repeated head trauma. The man, who had a history of mental illness, blamed the NFL for his deteriorating mental health.
