Denver Broncos coach John Fox credits wife with saving his life

Monday's health and safety news from the world of football:

  • An organized theft ring has targeted former NFL players to allegedly entice them to buy a share of the NBA's Miami Heat. KTTV-TV in Los Angeles reported that Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon was bilked out of $200,000.
  • The Idaho Press-Tribune reported that a survey by the Idaho High School Activities Association showed that fewer concussions were suffered by state high school athletes than were expected.
  • The New York Post reported that Easton-Bell Sports, whose Riddell helmets are worn by a majority of NFL players, failed to find a buyer for the whole company last year because of the liabilities associated with gridiron concussions. The company will look to sell individual brands.
