I don't know what makes you think that's what he's selling. There's not a single person here, except for you, who believes that he's sending that message. So if he's trying to send that message, then he's doing a horrible job.

I think that the NFL has done a good job of trying to protect players, in what is a very physical game. I mean, the protection of quarterbacks and receivers has almost gotten to the point of overkill.

[Drew Brees] is also reviled by many former players because a few years prior, he was on the record criticizing the men who ran into post-career difficulty because of their poor investments and multiple marriages. It wasn’t understood so clearly when Brees made those comments, but today many within the game realize that these former players weren’t just depressed because the cheering had stopped. They had a difficult time dealing because their heads, not only from concussions, but also, because they had been subjected to “repetitive head trauma.”

There are currently over 2,000 former players who have filed lawsuits against the NFL and plenty of evidence to suggest that the league could have done more to inform the players of the ramifications of the way the game was being played and dealt with medically. I have interviewed the two of the lawyers who filed the initial suit, Jason Luckasevic and Tom Girardi and they are quite confident when they present the facts of this case, they will be victorious.

You think the NFL has done a good job of protecting players? Have you read the Junior Seau thread? I think it is real easy to argue the NFL has not done a great job of protecting players. I guess this type of thing is a matter of opinion, so we can agree to diagree.

Here is just one snippet from that 10,500 word essay:



So I guess there are 2,000+ players out there who also think the NFL didn't do a great job of protecting them.

They come down hard, and people criticize them. They do nothing at all, and people criticize them.

NEW YORK (AP) Scores of lawsuits involving thousands of former players touched by concussions and brain injuries have been consolidated into one master complaint, setting up a massive and potentially costly case for the NFL.

Lawyers for the players filed the complaint Thursday in Philadelphia, accusing the NFL of hiding information that linked football-related head trauma to permanent brain injuries. Among the illnesses cited were dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

The plaintiffs hope to hold the NFL responsible for the care of players suffering from those health problems.

According to an AP review of 81 lawsuits filed through May 25, the plaintiffs include 2,138 former players. The total number of plaintiffs in those cases is 3,356, which includes players, spouses and other relatives or representatives.

The NFL Players Association filed a lawsuit against the NFL on behalf of three players suspended in connection with the bounty investigation, calling Commissioner Roger Goodell ''incurably and evidently biased.''
