ESPN football analyst walks away, disturbed by brain trauma on field

That is huge actually. more attention to a very serious matter. Hockey getting attention too. Didnt some 23 yo lineman retire because of future damage concerns?Smart dude.  Get that check, play for awhile and retire young and healthy.  Of course money rules and viewership is down so we will see. I wonder if the players sign a waiver against future concussion damage

I would rather know the story about Ryen Russillo getting arrested drunk and naked trespassing in someones condo, that might top the baseball analyst pissing out the bar window in cleveland

I applaud Ed Cunningham for having the courage to stand up for his convictions.  He walked away from a dream gig because he couldn't endorse the product anymore.  That takes guts.

 

Ed went to the same high school as me.  He graduated two years after I did.  We both played football there.  We made it to the AAA State Semi-Finals my Senior year, then Ed and his teammates won the State Championship the next year.  Ed also won an NCAA championship as a member of the University of Washington Huskies' 1991 squad, then had a 5 year NFL career.  

 

Nothing but respect for him.
