1. A lot of NFL players have died young in the last few years, not just Dolphins

I think its why the NFL is really taking concussions seriously now, its pretty obvious that football has very bad effects long term on the human body. What happened with Dave Duerson really illustrates this. This is why, despite whining from people like James Harrison, I think the NFL is doing the right thing in regulating hits now.

2. Absolutely.

Harrison needs to STFU.

3. Six Chargers from the 1994 team have died.

Shawn Lee was the latest.
