KD/PG Sunday Edition

CBS2-Pittsburgh-8:30 a.m.

THIS SUNDAY MORNING at 8:30 a.m. (SPECIAL TIME, ON SUPER BOWL SUNDAY) ON KDKA-TV’S “KD/PG SUNDAY EDITION” — WITH KDKA-TV NEWS ANCHOR STACY SMITH AND DAVID SHRIBMAN, EXECUTIVE EDITOR OF THE PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE:

On this Super Bowl Sunday, one woman will NOT be watching the biggest television event of the year.

She is Keana McMahon — former wife of Justin Strzelczyk — the late Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive tackle — killed in a violent traffic accident in New York state, several years after his release, by the team.

Strzelczyk was later diagnosed as having suffered from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy — or CTE. The degenerative disease — the subject of the motion picture “Concussion” ( partially filmed in Pittsburgh) has sparked a growing discussion of its widespread presence, in professional athletes — especially, football players — believed to be caused by repeated blows to the head.

Keana joins Jason Luckasevic, J.D., on our broadcast. He is attorney and Shareholder with the Pittsburgh law firm Goldberg, Persky & White P.C. — who filed the first two lawsuits against the National Football League, on behalf of more than 120-retired players — who suffered from CTE.

Hear Keana and Jason’s powerful story — and learn about the growing controversy over what’s being done, to protect the health of those who play America’s most popular game.

Watch Stacy Smith and David Shribman’s timely interview, on the “KD/PG Sunday Edition” — this Sunday morning, at a special time — 8:30 a.m. — on KDKA-TV!
