Another lawsuit against the NFL; This may damage the league beyond repair
Our sources tell us that 75 former NFL players have or will file a lawsuit against the league for concussions. Their claim is that the league as known about the ill effects of concussions since the 1920's and as failed to protect players from life long injuries. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello has publicly stated that he has not seen such lawsuit, but will defend it if it happens. Starting in 2010 the league has made a huge effort to protect players against the effects of concussions from sitting players out games to suspending and fining players for hits that can cause concussions. This lawsuit could sink the league. Could you imagine how much the settlement would be?
Why is Tom Brady, Vincent Jackson, Drew Brees, and 7 other players holding the fans from the NFL?
It sounds strange, but true! The big issues are off the table including rookie pay scale, veteran benefits, and game schedule. The hold up now appears to be the 10 plaintiffs in the case filed against the NFL. Some are seeking cash benefits in the $10 million range and others want special accommodations guaranteed by the owners and the NFL. Is this fair for 10 players to hold up 1,900? How do you feel as a fan?

NFL Lockout to end Friday...If...
VIDEO
All signs point to the lockout finally coming to a close this Friday. There are a few issues that still need a resolution, with one being funding for the NFL retirement fund. The deal has to be a global deal, meaning all things addresses, for the new agreement to hold any water. Several teams and players are starting to position themselves for a short, fast, and furious free agency period....Keep your fingers crossed!
