After the NFL

January 27, 2005 · Filed Under Uncategorized 

Mike Webster walked away from the NFL with four Super Bowl rings. Walked away with more than an assortment of chronic aches and pains. Walked away and found out years later that he was mentally disabled. In a five-part series, ESPN.com explores the after-football life of the former Pittsburgh Steelers great, from his odyssey of bizarre behavior and failed business ventures to his eventual homelessness and untimely death.

This is one of the most amazing and sad stories I have ever read.

    yea, that sucks. What do you think the chances are of Terell Owens becoming a crackhead after his career is up?

    Yeah that is a pretty sad story…NFL players are alot like retired boxers with the “punch drunk” attributes.

    I dont think they have a good chance with the lawsuit because of lack of documented evidence of disability prior to 96.
