Milwaukee Bonecrushers The Milwaukee Bonecrushers were a team in the Continental Indoor Football League . They played their home games at the U . S . Cellular Arena . The Bonecrushers were Milwaukee ' s second indoor football franchise , following the Milwaukee Mustangs of the Arena Football League . The franchise made an immediate splash in Milwaukee when it announced former Green Bay Packer Gilbert Brown signed a three - year contract to be the team ' s first head coach . However , the optimism quickly faded when Brown announced he was resigning from the position after just three games on April 8 , 2008 . Much of the team ' s staff and many of the team ' s players also left at the same time , raising eyebrows among the Milwaukee media and fans . The Bonecrushers finished 2008 with a hodgepodge of players and coaches , winning just one game , a 51 - 46 road contest against the Muskegon Thunder featuring a 26 - yard touchdown run by Bonecrushers ' quarterback Brian Ryczkowski on the final play of the game . The rumored reasoning behind the exodus of many of the original members of the franchise was the team ' s inability to pay its bills or personnel . This was confirmed when a judgment was entered against the Bonecrushers in favor of Challenger Industries , the company that sold the team its game field AstroTurf , in the amount of $ 29 , 539 . 29 on October 15 , 2008 . Challenger resolved its claim against John Burns , one of the owners of the Milwaukee Bonecrushers , prior to the matter going to trial . The Bonecrushers returned to action in 2009 with renewed optimism after signing LeRoy McFadden , brother of NFL player Darren McFadden , as its new head coach , as well as the previous year ' s CIFL Offensive Player of the Year , Randy Bell . However , McFadden also chose to resign after just three games , leaving assistant coach , John Burns , to take over as head coach . While the Bonecrushers survived the 2009 season in Milwaukee , attendance dwindled to nearly nothing and the team finished with a record of 3 - 8 . Prior to the 2010 season , the Bonecrushers management reorganized and the team elected to cease operations in Milwaukee . Many of the individuals involved with the Bonecrushers , including Burns , moved onto be part of the new Chicago Cardinals franchise based in Villa Park , Ill . While the Bonecrushers franchise is generally regarded as having failed in the eyes of Milwaukeeans , their existence did help create two other CIFL franchises : The Cardinals and the Wisconsin Wolfpack . Plans had already been in place for the Wolfpack to field its first outdoor team in the summer of 2008 when Brown left the Bonecrushers . Eventually , many members of the Wolfpack ' s staff were brought in to help the Bonecrushers complete the indoor season . In 2009 , the Wolfpack fielded a CIFL team of its own in Madison , Wisconsin . The Bonecrushers would play the Wolfpack twice in their final season in Milwaukee , losing both times .

He graduated from the University of Richmond in 1972 and was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the ninth round of the 1972 NFL Draft .

In 2011 , along with several other NFL players , including two - time Super Bowl champion Jim McMahon , Easterling filed a federal lawsuit in Philadelphia , against the NFL over its handling of concussion - related injuries . Unlike a similar suit filed in Los Angeles a month earlier , this suit is the first to seek class - action status and potentially include many other players . Attorney Larry Coben , representing the plaintiffs , stated , " The big issue , for us , is they were told for decades to lead with their heads . The NFL would never admit that there ' s any correlation ( to later health problems ) . " Easterling died on April 19 , 2012 , at the age of 62 . His death was ruled a suicide . It is believed that Easterling shot himself due to clinical depression resulting from dementia " as he lost the ability to focus , organise his thoughts and relate to people " , with the dementia itself the result of the lifetime of head injuries during Easterling ' s career . His wife of 36 years Mary Ann Easterling said she will fight to continue the lawsuit despite her husband ' s death , and will urge the league to establish a fund for players like her husband who suffered traumatic brain injuries from their playing days . On July 27 , 2012 Easterling ' s autopsy report was released . The autopsy by the medical examiner in Richmond , VA found signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy ( CTE ) , progressive damage that has been linked to blows to the head , and determined that it was the underlying major condition that accounted for Easterling ’ s difficulties .
