...until recently downplayed any link between football head trauma and cognitive decline. In 2009, after a study sponsored by the league showed evidence that retired players had long-term mental trauma, and after more damaged players came forward, Congress stepped in. At one hearing, Representative Linda Sanchez, a Democrat from California, compared the NFL's stance on concussions to tobacco companies' denial that smoking causes lung cancer. Others have taken up the players' cause, like Gay Culverhouse, the terminally ill former president of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who has established an outreach program for those needing assistance.

Pizzotti had been trying to make it onto the New York Jets’ roster at the beginning of preseason, but the Jets chose to take Mark Sanchez and Kellen Clemens instead. Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise. New York has stumbled to a 6-6 record, with its record putting it in a three-way tie for third in the AFC Wild Card Race.

...Most Vieques residents - who, as Puerto Ricans, are all U.S. citizens - would agree with Marrero. In 2007, more than 7,000 of them filed a federal suit, Sanchez v. United States, claiming that in the nearly 60 years after World War II that the Navy used a portion of the island as a firing range and weapons-testing ground it negligently exposed Vieques' population of 10,000 to dangerous levels of toxins. The community, according to several independent medical studies, has a cancer rate 30 times higher than that of Puerto Rico's main island to the west...
...scientific community howled at that verdict, given that independent studies of hair, vegetation and other local specimens indicate island residents have been exposed to excessive levels of lead, mercury, cadmium and aluminum. "The [ATSDR] conclusion seemed borderline criminal," says former Vieques mayor Radames Tirado, a plaintiff in the Sanchez suit who says at least 13 of his relatives there today have cancer. Says Arturo Massol, a biologist at the University of Puerto Rico in Mayaguez, "We've also found that since the Navy left, those contaminants have decreased eightfold. That's no coincidence...
