I'm no shill for Peter King, but if you take ten minutes to read anything sports-related today, it ought to be his MMQB. Not only is there a great tribute to Junior Seau, but a long and really nice piece on Matt Light, including a segment that Matt wrote.
In addition, you should click on the imbedded link in the piece to Dr. Sanjay Gupta describing what happens during a concussion. The train has clearly left the station in the NFL on mitigating the impact of head injuries on players. I think we're going to see a lot more players who have a lot to live for in their retirement follow the lead of Terry Bradshaw and Troy Aikman, who retired at 34 and 35 respectively, and not extend HOF careers "for the record book," but rather choose to step out of the game while they can still look ahead to a long, enjoyable and prosperous retirement.
