Alex Smith Story

#4

Just watched this. This is an amazing comeback story about a guy who could have easily died due to the severe infection he had following his first surgery. I hope he decides to NOT attempt to return to playing football again. Why risk another injury after what he has been through. He has earned enough money to never have to worry about security for his family. Seeing this injury makes me appreciate the risks which NFL players take on. Yes, they are grossly overpaid compared to most professions (teachers, for example), but there is no denying the possibility that they are risking a lifetime of pain following their retirement. I'd recommend everyone watch this inspiring story on ESPN.
