Two American Football stars say they will donate their brains for medical research after their deaths.
New York Giants punter Steve Weatherford and former Seattle Seahawks receiver Sidney Rice want to support studies into brain injuries.

I’d like to add:
“What knockers!”

NFL stars to donate brains for medical research.
I couldn't stop myself. The punchline was in the title. How do you get around that?
Reminder to donate $5 or $10 to end the Freepathon.
That’s just silly. How will they be able to get to the stadium without brains?
A punter? One bar for a face mask and optional chin strap 'cause they get pounded constantly on the noggin all day long. I'm sure valuable research info will come from this one.
You FReepers have disappointed me. So far, no pictures of the Scarecrow.
Glass houses.
There is no evidence that Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi has now, or ever had a brain.
Harry does appear to be an automaton...and come to think of it Bela Pelosi does seem to have all the eramarks...of a alien droid.
