Very interesting article about Andre Waters (former Eagles DB) suicide and related brain damage due to repeated concussions.

I think it is Mark Schlereth who tells the story on ESPN Radio about Andre Waters and his toughness. The basic story is that Waters is the recipient of a Joe Theismann type broken leg and he is just sitting there on the field saying over and over, "look at my leg, my leg is broke" - no crying, no whining just almost in disbelief. It's classic.
