a real story of courage...

Jacksonville Jaguars' linebacker Russell Allen,who is 27 years old,has retired from the NFL... normally,this would get a yawn from me... however,this is not a normal story... the reason that is not normal is that during early in the second half in a game,between the Jaguars,and the Buffalo Bills,last season,he suffered what looked like a minor injury to the head,but finished the game... one day after the game,he complained of headaches,and so he went to the doctor,and after a MRI,the doctor told him that he had suffered a stroke during the game... after the Jaguars released him for a "failed physical" this offseason,he finally retired from football... well,Russell,i dearly hope that you are all right,and really wish you have good health,and a great family life...
