Todd Fedoruk, Derek Boogaard and the old gray lady...

Has anyone read this huge extensive piece that Fridge is writing with the NYT about the life and death of a fighter?

I can't read that long on a computer screen but am debating printing it up to read. Thoughts?

i thought it was a really good article. really makes you look at fighting in a different perspective.

There's new reports now that Boogard had CTE from so many concussions. Hope this doesn't put an end to fighting.
