Antwaan Randle El backtracks, is 'in no way dying'

Posted Jan 22, 2016
Former NFL wide receiver Antwaan Randle El made headlines Tuesday after he told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette he suffered memory loss, could barely walk down stairs and, if he had to do it over again, he would not have played football. But he backtracked on those comments Wednesday. Appearing on "The Dan Patrick Show," he said, “I’m in no way dying" or "keeling over." He said his knees, ankles and feet hurt, but that's just part of playing football. (Sporting News)
