Just a couple of weeks ago, in this space, I praised the 1985 Chicago Bears, and specifically Richard Dent on his selection to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Today, I feel the need to say something about Dave Duerson. Duerson was found dead Thursday evening in his home. They are now saying that it was a self inflicted gunshot wound. All of the articles I’ve seen have emphasized that he has donated his brain to research.
I’ve thought about Walter Payton a lot this weekend also.
I have nothing insightful or meaningful to add. I just wanted to share.
