House Judiciary Committee Holds Hearing On Football Head Injuries

WASHINGTON - OCTOBER 28: Former National Football League player Brent Boyd (C) rubs his head while sitting next to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell (L) during a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee about football brain injuries on Capitol Hill October 28, 2009 in Washington, DC. A recent study of retired players suggested that N.F.L. retirees ages 60 to 89 are experiencing moderate to severe dementia at several times the national rate. Boyd suffers from headaches, depression, fatigue and dizziness caused by what his doctors diagnosed as post-concussion syndrome. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)
