    Former ML player and NYC cop can't get past flashbacks and trauma from his 9/11 duty:

    I read it last Sunday and meant to post...thanks for the link, Smasher.

    This was an OUTSTANDING story. The detail about how he watches comedies all day long will break your heart. Some really good interviewing and writing in this one. Should be in the 2008 BASW for sure.

    Another 9/11 hero completely screwed by the system.

    Very good story. Seems like the photo should have been him in front of the TV instead of outside, though.
