Incredibly sad story about Fred McNeill

Post by John_Viveiros »

I saw this compilation article on Slate. The first story is about former Viking McNeill. It's a year old, but I didn't see it posted here. ...Hard to read it with dry eyes.

:( Fred McNeill's playing days were before my time but it's always sad to see what concussions are capable of doing. Here is an Outside The Lines story on Fred McNeill I remember watching: http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=6745827
