The U.S. military gratefully acknowledged this as cause of death which made things easier for my mother.

Re: Derek Carr Retires
I didnt say which medical issues. Clearly 46 was hiding cognitive decline. I am not an oncologist. It would not be incredibly surprising if a politician hid other conditions they felt at the time were managable but I am not saying it happened. Regardless, the Saints owed it to fans they asked to pony up for season tickets to be transparent about Carr’s outlook. Instead Loomis has always had the ‘you can’t handle the truth’ attitude and insisted on controlling fans who cant be trusted to think for themselves.

Re: Derek Carr Retires
Medical conditions can be very sneaky.

The Saints hid nothing that any other team did not share about their players. The Saints did exactly what was required according to NFL CBA guidelines. Nothing more and nothing less. Take your goofy assed conspiracy theories back to your IHateLoomis.com website and share them with your extensive following. ![]() |
