The Ties That Bind

Two former pro athletes—same sport, same position. Both had teenaged sons who died. Both suffered from severe depression. Both tried to kill themselves. In 1998, at 41, former Lions quarterback Eric Hipple(above) jumped out of a van going 70 mph on a freeway. In 2015, at 50, former Bears QB Erik Kramer bought a gun and shot himself. After each survived his suicide attempt, they arrived at the same conclusion: I guess I'm meant to still be alive. Go to SI.com to read L. Jon Wertheim's story about two quarterbacks whose similar travails led them to develop a deep friendship, which has helped them both to heal.
