Knoxville is located just southeast of the City of Galesburg. There is a public square in the center of town with several historic buildings surrounding it including Knox County's first courthouse, city hall, the Ball log cabin, the town gallows, and several other important buildings.

I was kind of hoping CJ would cite concerns about CTE in the same way Borland and other high-profile, young retirees did on their way out. I'm all about increased pressure on the league, especially from within. Good for him regardless.

Isn't Borland the only one who cited that? I didn't hear Willis doing it, and Mendenhall just flat out sucked after his knee injuries. Im probably missing a few.

But your argument doesn't make any sense. The Bears are a really shitty organization. I really doubt Arlington Heights being a nice, livable suburb changes that in the minds of players. Same with Detroit and whatevrr suburb you mentioned.

that's the point I was making...

Oh. Kind of a roundabout way of getting there.

I think you're right. This article suggests players are thinking about something like CTE but not saying it explicitly: http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/fea ... n-20150313
