Am I the only one watching the Aiyuk meltdown who’s wondering about CTE?

Very cool. Thanks for posting. Would love to know the back story on the whole video. Pretty inspiring. . . .

I think it's not uncommon for wide receivers to have outsized egos and to act oddly. Terrell Owens. Ocho Cinco. Antonio Brown, ODBJr., Joe Horn, Randy Moss, George Pickens, Stefon Diggs. You could go all the way back to Peter Gent (author of North Dallas Forty). 

That doesn't even include the WRs who've been arrested like Michael Irvin, Jimmy Smith, Chris Henry, TItus Young, Justin Blackmon, Donte Stallworth, Sam Hurd, Plaxico Burress, Henry Ruggs, Rae Carruth, Zay Jones, MIchael Floyd, Josh Gordon, Dwayne Bowe, Kenny Britt, Rashee Rice, Jordan Addison, Xavier Worthy, Kadarius TOney, Alshon Jeffery, Ted Ginn Jr., Mark Duper, Andre RIson, Tyreek Hill, Brandon Marshall, Dez Bryant.

My read: Aiyuk may be acting irrationally from a career-management standpoint, but that is not evidence of CTE. Plenty of players make bizarre business decisions without brain disease. In his case, the cleaner explanation is: injured star receiver, massive contract dispute, damaged relationship with team, public ego battle, and maybe no adult in the room saying, “Brandon, for the love of Jerry Rice, put the phone down.”

Quote:Kyle Shanahan suffered significant injuries in a car crash during his summer break in mid-July that leave him limited as the team opens training camp.

Shanahan broke his nose, three ribs and his hand, needed more than 40 stitches in his face, and suffered a severe concussion during a July 14 car crash when he collided with an SUV near his northern California home, according to sources familiar with the situation.

...
Shanahan has been recovering at home and is believed to be healing well, but with training camp starting Sunday, doctors will not clear him for all activities until concussion symptoms clear.
...
"Assistant Head Coach Chris Foerster along with team coordinators will handle head coach responsibilities during this period."

This happened last week? How is it just news now?

Thankfully, he, and whoever else were involved,  appear to be recovering. . . .

There were no citations issued, therefore the names of the parties involved in the incident are not published.  The only reason we know anything now is the absence of Shanahan from the opening of camp.

so looking at the Palo Alto police log it looks like the accident was ~6:13pm on July 14th, at (or near) the intersection of Hamilton and Alma.  While cars can move briskly on ALma, not so much on Hamilton.  I wonder if one car was turning right onto Alma and was hit my the second one, of course in that scenario I have a hard time seeing neither party getting a ticket.  Breaking a nose, three ribs, getting a concussion, and forty stitches sounds like a pretty big impact if it was two cars, I wonder if he was on a bike.

There appears to have been a police report filed July 22nd, #26-02787

given the lag between the event and the report appearance on the og it appears there was some sort of investigation as they say on the page

Doubt he might've been on a bike as that stretch of Alma is not at all conducive to bike traffic - most bike traffic will cross Alma either via the University underpass, the larger crossing at Channing (we lived at Channing at Homer - fondly referred to as the corner of Carol and Simpson - so this was my main route to work on campus) or at Lytton - bike traffic on Alma itself is otherwise virtually non-existant.  If the accident was indeed at Hamilton & Alma, keep in mind SB cars on Alma are just coming around a somewhat blind curve at University + there's a Caltrain lot exit at Hamilton which adds to the confusion around there, so yeah - I can see a vehicular crash if one wasn't familiar with that stretch.  Either way, I do agree it's weird neither party received at ticket.

I doubt it to, just trying to figure out how one driver is uninjured and the other has a broken nose, rids, hand, concussion and over forty stitches.  Only thing I can think of is being t-boned at an intersection but that would almost certainly have at least one driver cited for something...

maybe he was on foot....

"he collided with an SUV" is a little ambiguous about if he was in a car/SUV/truck or ????


RE: 2026 49ers - fullmetal - 07-26-2026

As famous as Shanahan is, perhaps the offending driver is even more famous and would prefer to keep their name out of the press.  Shanahan, being of that stratum of personal recognizance, may have agreed.

Hope he heals fully...definitely a nasty collision :(


RE: 2026 49ers - 82lsju - 07-26-2026

from the dispatch audio it was two cars, a black Tesla and a blue Mercedes

Still, how did the news not get out? He's a pretty high profile guy, and not a word to the press? None? No one from the police, the hospital, the team, the bystanders? Who was driving the other car, Altman, Elon or Zuckerberg?


RE: 2026 49ers - Giants - 07-26-2026

Violating privacy laws re: high profile individuals generally results in the loss of a job and/or a lawsuit.  I am not surprised that anyone involved in this matter was interested in doing something stupid (i.e., leaking the story).   

I say - thank you to all involved for keeping their mouths shut!

I would not be surprised if the owner of a privately owned security camera from the vicinity made their video of the event public now that they know who was involved (assuming someone would pay them for it).....

Now that we know it was a Tesla vs Mercedes, I would assume Shanahan was in the Mercedes. Tesla crumple zones make them very safe for the driver.

true, I of course assumed he was wearing a seatbelt.....but maybe not and that would help explain the injuries, an unbelted driver can take quite a hit to the face from a deploying airbag, and if you hand is in the line of fire in can be propelled into your face which could explain the broken hand

Quote:Authorities believe the head-on collision that seriously injured San Francisco 49ershead coach Kyle Shanahan occurred after a 21-year-old woman made an unsafe turn while driving a Mercedes SUV in the opposite direction on a four-lane street in Palo Alto, records show.

Shanahan was holding and using a cellphone at the time of the July 14 crash on Alma Street, which authorities listed as a factor in the accident, but he was not at fault for the wreck, according to the California Crash Reporting System, a statewide database of collisions.
...
The crash happened at 6:12 p.m. on July 14 at Alma Street and Hamilton Avenue, near downtown Palo Alto. The database said the woman was headed north on Alma, and Shanahan south on Alma.

Neither Shanahan nor the woman was found to have been drinking, according to the database. The airbags in the coach’s black 2023 Tesla Model S and the woman’s blue 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 each deployed, and both parties were wearing seatbelts.

Both parties sustained injuries in the crash, according to the database, though Palo Alto police told ESPN the woman was unhurt.
