The article also mentions Ken Brett so he might be the fifth. Lets hope DD pulls through.

I remember there was a bit of a panic back in the 80's about The Meadowlands when several New York Giants developed cancer, including Doug Kotar and John Tuggle.

Again, not to be the conspiracy theorist here, but look at the history of the New Jersey Meadowlands...

"Reclamation, land making, and development. In addition to landfill from garbage, landmass generated from dredging was also used to create new land. Some material came from building the World Trade Center."

"Pollution by sewage, refuse, and hazardous waste: various types of waste have been dumped legally and illegally in the Meadowlands. During World War II, military refuse was dumped in the Meadowlands, including rubble from London created by the Blitz and used as ballast in returning ships. After the war, the Meadowlands continued to be used for civilian waste disposal, as the marshes were seen simply as wastelands that were not good for anything else."
