As previously discussed here:
Shortly after 1 o'clock Tuesday, the phone rang at the home of Garrett Webster, the son of former Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Fame center Mike Webster.
He was sleeping, but answered anyway.
And on the other end was attorney Bob Fitzsimmons, with the news the Webster family had been waiting for since 1997.
Citing "overwhelming evidence," a U.S. district court judge in Baltimore awarded Webster's estate full disability benefits on Tuesday for brain damage he suffered during his 17-year NFL career.
Links to the previous stories on Webster and his family are in a sidebar in this story. If you haven't read 'em and you're up for a tale of the tragedy of human frailty, give 'em a look.
