Could the concussion crisis lead to the demise of football?

We've seen a few ex-players die young, many with a strange, somewhat unknown disease called "chronic traumatic encephalopathy" (CTE). Some died of complications such as stroke, but others took...

Who will land Peppers?
And so there I was on vacation. I was in relative isolation in the hills of North Georgia. I was happy, able to get away from the cares of the world and just enjoy myself. For the first time in three months, I didn't care about football. Other than a few hours watching the Cardinals beat down the...
