Outsider is right. The film making the rounds this week on PBS is a rerun of the show from a year ago. It appears to have been edited down slightly. Any updates are only in the web site.
Needle's post about other hazards in football brought back memories of the day, years ago, I was walking home from my high school's varsity game and was passed by an ambulance carrying one of our players, never to return. The player had been in a head-on collision on a kickoff. He was taken out of the game. Unknown to those of us watching, he continued to deteriorate on the sideline. He died later in the hospital. The story later was that the player had been in a car accident the night before and didn't tell the coach.
