... by having it in my mind that Tony Dorsett played for the Dallas Cowboys? Geez, I'm so sad to hear about this. I love football, I really do. But I have always cringed when seeing the hard hits they take. If none of you seen it, I remind you to run over to PBS.org and look up recent showings of Frontline. There is a documentary there that explains what CTE is.
