Another major investigative story in NYT on Boogaard's sad story:

Yeah, I caught some of that too. The talk about how team doctors are often fairly irresponsible in the doctor part of that equation has existed in sports for a long, long time.

 

[Corn Flake]

"In a six-month stretch from October 2008 to April 2009, while playing 51 games, Boogaard received at least 25 prescriptions for the painkillers hydrocodone or oxycodone, a total of 622 pills, from 10 doctors"

  Mind boggling. The fallout from this could be huge.
