Former DB In The News

From a Minneapolis Star Tribune blog:
Vikings agreed to terms today with seventh-round draft pick Chandler Williams. The contract was negotiated by agents Joseph Palumbo and John Owens.
John Owens '91, was a three-year letterwinner as a defensive back for Dartmouth and won an Ivy League championship with Buddy Teevens on the '90 squad. John also served as a sounding board for Ryan Fuselier when the former wide receiver was considering pro football. Find John's bio here.

From yesterday's New York Times:
The rate of diagnosed clinical depression among retired National Football League players is strongly correlated with the number of concussions they sustained, according to a study to be published today.
Today's New York Times has an interesting look at the role basketball plays in the life of Barack Obama. It notes that before she married him, Obama's wife asked her brother Craig Robinson -- former Princeton star and current Brown coach -- to play pickup ball with him to get a sense of what kind of person he is.

One final reminder that it's not too late to contribute to The Prouty fundraiser for Dartmouth's Norris Cotton Cancer Center in honor of Buddy Teevens' bicycle ride across the country. The current total is so close to another threshold that I'm hoping someone will step up and bring the money raised to an even number.
11 a.m. UPDATE: It's now $32 from an even $13,000!!!
