As memory fades, Ex-Redskin Stephen Davis sues

Three months ago, Stephen Davis visited a neurologist.

Gaps began appearing in the 38-year-old’s short-term memory in the previous year and a half. Chats with his wife, DeeDee, from a few minutes before, slipped away. He forgot activities with their four children. Same with paying bills.

Davis, the three-time Pro Bowl running back who played seven seasons with the Washington Redskins, started taping conversations to retain basic details.

The neurologist’s assessment wasn’t encouraging.

Frightening. I side with the players in the lawsuit here. The NFL was ignoring the problems. At least NOW they seem to be trying. And all those people who whine and cry about the NFL being soft...This piece should tell you why thats a shitty attitude.
