Today reports "HBO's latest Real Sports,
debuting Tuesday, features Chris Nowinski, a medical
researcher who studies head injuries among NFL players. He says he has pledges
from more than 60 NFL players for, after their deaths, their brains to be
donated to study effects of concussions - 'some of these guys are
doing it honestly to protect their own sons' who play football."
The story, reported by Bernard Goldberg, will highlight the efforts of SLI and
the BU CSTE and interviews with Chris Nowinski, Dr. Cantu, Dr. McKee, Eleanor
Perfetto, and Ted Johnson.
