Keep cool NFL commissioner asks teams to monitor heat
NEW YORK (AP) -- NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue ordered teams to monitor all players to avoid heatstroke following the death of Korey Stringer of the Minnesota Vikings. Tagliabue told all 31 teams in a memo Thursday that executives, coaches and team medical personnel should meet regularly to discuss practice conditions, particularly in hot weather. The commissioner held a conference call Thursday with three doctors and four trainers who serve on the medical committee. He will talk again with them Monday. The group includes Dr. Jon Browne of the Kansas City Chiefs, president of the NFL Physicians Association, and Ronnie Barnes of the New York Giants, who heads the trainers group. The others are Drs. Elliott Pellman of the New York Jets and Andrew Tucker of Baltimore as well as trainers Pepper Burress of Green Bay, Jim Maurer of Dallas and Micheal Ryan of Jacksonville.
