Very sad news.

A case can be made that the 3 best RB's in the NFL in the late 1970's were Walter Payton, Tony Dorsett, and Earl Campbell.   Walter Payton suffered greatly before his passing at a very young age.   Tony Dorsett and Earl Campbell are going through very difficult times.   As much as we enjoy watching the NFL, there's a heavy price for a large % of former players. While Payton's illness probably wasn't related to him playing football, he's more of the exception than the norm for those former players that have suffered.

Related to this, on a much more positive note, I heard an interview with Barry Sanders last week.   The best news to come out of the interview is Barry mentioned that he's not dealing with any significant physical or mental difficulties.
