Football a catharsis for tragedy-riddled Chris Graham
in the CFL: “I’ve been through a lot,” the 26-year-old from Indianapolis said Thursday. “The neighbourhood that I grew up in, I saw deaths every few months. Dealing with it on your own, you become numb and you learn from it. Some people would break down, but me, I take everything that happens to me in the outside world and I bring it to the football field. If I have pain, I release it through hitting. If I’m feeling down, these guys cheer me up.”
coach: "I didn’t give a rat’s patoot about where he was doing it"
i don't remember hearing anything about his life off-field, guess he got caught up in the coaching change, but this makes me pretty prout\d to be a michigan fan.
safe to say he was the best michigan linebacker of the richrod era?
Chris actually never played for Rich Rodriguez. His senior year was Lloyd Carr's last season. But he is a great story and person. I befriended him when he was back on campus ftrying to finish his degree. He will no doubt have success in the CFL and in his first preseason game had 2 Sacks and 1 Fumble Recovery.
