The family of Pro Football Hall of Famer Frank Gifford says signs of the degenerative disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy were found in his brain after his death. In a statement released through NBC News on Wednesday, the family said he had “experienced firsthand” symptoms associated with CTE but did not offer specifics. The statement said that the family “made the difficult decision to have his brain studied in hopes of contributing to the advancement of medical research concerning the link between football and traumatic brain injury.” A running back, defensive back, wide receiver and special-teams player, Gifford was the NFL MVP in 1956 when his New York Giants won the league championship. A crushing hit by Philadelphia linebacker Chuck Bednarik in November 1960 flattened Gifford and likely shortened his football career. Avila is a .242 hitter with 66 homers and 282 RBIs during seven big-league seasons, all with the Detroit Tigers, and has thrown out 24.5 percent of attempted base stealers. In Champions League highlights, Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored against his old team as Paris Saint-Germain advanced to the knockout phase by beating Malmo 5-0.
