    His is one of the Jerseys I have and cherished along with Lambert's. My wife has Alzheimers and she is yonger than Greg but she hasn't lost the ability to speak. Probably a CTE by product I would surmise but they won't know until he passes if they even want to know for sure. As my nephew said to me the other day, "I would rather have cancer!". To lose one's identity and to forget everyone you know is a very cruel way to go. I wish him well and hope the journey isn't a long drawn out miserable end.

    Horrible disease for all involved.

    Next to Woodson, he was my favorite Steeler back then.

    Prayers to him and his family as well as the OP’s.

    Lloyd was one of the first Steelers jerseys I owned. Sorry to hear this news about him.

    That's awful. I loved watching that guy play. My mother died of dementia. It's not a fun time. Best wishes for him and his family.

    Are we sure that's for real? I'm asking because apparently the same thing word for word was said about Faneca,



    Lloyd's name doesn't appear in the headline, which seems odd, and I can't find any other source for it.

    You mean nobody is going to attack Him, and take him to task like they did Ben??
    I mean He beat his wife, and stuck a gun in his son's mouth, I guess that's OK compared to having relations in a bathroom, and being accused. :shrug:
    That was for certain people.
    I was a fan of G. Lloyd back in the day, and still have his Jersey.

    This story is false. Sad people will make up a story for views.

    This is in poor taste if it is. Why would anyone make up such a story? My mother had
    dementia before she died, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

    They are the same idiots who are always making fake posts that famous people have died when they have not. The bottom 5% or so are just scum of the earth people that make life worse for everyone else on the planet.

    I'm sorry to hear about your wife.

    You probably know way more about this than I do, but it sounds like maybe trying to get / stay in ketosis can help.

    Thank you. Agree the NFL has made so much money and they know very early on the danger the players were facing from the concussions and what not. In their best interest to take care of their ex players.
