This is an actual headline on the Dallas Morning News website, as of 9:48 AM today:
Dallas police officer on leave over rap video has car burglarized while visiting husband’s grave
And I said, “Whaaaaaaaaht?” (Short item, but worth clicking through to read. The headline, while odd, is an accurate summary.)
Today’s NYT has a follow-up story about Ryan Freel, whose death was previously noted here. Of interest:
- His stepfather ups the concussion estimate to 15, “10 as a professional ballplayer”.
- “His former wife witnessed a winter league game in Venezuela in which he smashed through an outfield wall and had to be hospitalized with a concussion.”
- “Freel’s former wife said she found no fault with his teams or their medical staffs, concluding that they diagnosed his condition properly and insisted that he abide by the stipulated recovery period.”
- It looks like he will be tested for signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
