Best Friends

This morning's email brought a note from the Friends of Dartmouth Football with links to a slide show from last month's Dartmouth Football Golf Classic as well as pictures of each foursome that took part in the event at Hanover Country Club.

If you are interested in learning more about the Friends of Dartmouth Football (covers from a few recent issues of the Friends' quarterly newsletter are posted below) contact Assistant Athletic Director Brian Mann '02 BY CLICKING HERE. (That will address an email to Brian and fill out the subject line.)

Onetime Dartmouth quarterback and current owner of the Cincinnati Bengals Mike Brown '57  is central to a newspaper column spun out of the team's annual kickoff luncheon. From the story:

In an annual highlight, Brown was available for one of his rare interviews. Boy was he ever.

Regarding the ever-growing concussion issue, Brown says . . .

"This is not proved at all and yet we are besieged by it in the media and in the courts." 

An athlete in high school and during his college days at Dartmouth, Brown said, "I've had my share of concussions and I can still count to 10." 

The fact that Brown has been "concussed" over the years comes as no surprise to his detractors, of course. 

The owner relayed the story of how he once was knocked out on the field and woke up in the locker room on a gurney with his mother standing over him, "which caused me great consternation, having my mother in the locker room."
