HDS 235 Posted November 1, 2022 Word going around is Johnie Cooks has been in an ICU for several weeks with heart problems. Ten year NFL career, #2 overall pick in the 1982 NFL draft, won a Super Bowl while playing in New York. He could garner an obit for any pools that include American sources. Probably inconsequential.

Sounds extremely likely to have suffered brain damage. Yeah, this is sounding very bleak for Leach. If your brain goes without oxygen for that long, there's basically no way to recover. He's most likely on life support without brain function. Former Kansas State coach Bill Snyder even mistakenly tweeted that Leach had passed away, then corrected himself and apologized shortly thereafter, and has since deleted both tweets. My guess is that some in the know are probably aware that nothing can be done and that it's just a matter of when the family takes him off life support. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
