I've started a Required Reading section on the main page to highlight articlesthat are worth everyone's time and attention, whether or not they're about
the Rams specifically.
The first entry is Matt Crossman's sobering article in last week's Sporting News
about ex-players who will never fully recover from the effects of concussions
suffered throughout their careers. I hope the article will inspire everyone to
think twice when they see that big hit during a game or hear someone argue
that the officials aren't "letting them play" out there.
The published article also had a subarticle about Gridiron Greats, which has been in the news lately
thanks a lot to Mike Ditka's public efforts and Congressional testimony, along with NFLPA executive
director Gene Upshaw's threat to break some of their necks. Rather than inspiring that sort of
action, I hope reading the Sporting News article will inspire everyone to make a donation, as it
has for me.
