Ryan Freel Found Dead

I know head injuries will be the flash point portion of the article but I really think these guys are a) ill equipped to deal with "career" after sports and b) really have a difficult time adjusting to life after the spotlight has dimmed.

Sad nevertheless.

 

kid was a good ballplayer. always liked him. used to beat up on the astros.

this story has gotten a surprisingly small amount of press.

 

I really freel bad for him and his family to deal with this at a supposedly happy time.

 

^^Poor timing. That's all I'll say.

Ryan Freel was one of the most fearless players in the last decade. A true grinder. One of the Astros-killers of that time. Such a sad ending.... Hate to speculate, but I wonder if the concussions that he's suffered were a factor.

 

I just realized your handle is TELL IT LIKE IT IS

for years I suspected it was gibberish or greek.

 

I think it is greek, for speaking the truth without censorship or something like that.

 

This is funny - I thought the same. Never realized it meant TELL IT LIKE IT IS!

 

Turns out it was CTE.
