The Can of Worms

1. GMFO-

   and now it begins- will the NFL ask that the court bundle all the suits together in class action or let each suit stand on its own.

   How will player A impairment differ monetarily from Player B. will they put all the players with symptoms 1, 2 &3 together on the pay me scale and all the player with symptoms 1, 2 &4 on a different scale. will the players have to prove they were hit X number of times in the head by either another player or by falling on the ground and banging there heads count as a separate incident.

   AND who is to say that some of the plaintiffs did not suffer concussions while at good old city middle and high schools. And more concussions while at State University? The players through the lawyers are looking for a deep pocket to pick and the NFL will do what it has to do protect itself.

   And what good is the money going to do? Maybe the league should set up and fund a study of concussions and their prevention and then fund the pension that some of the older player get with the rest . That might help the others who have made, and spent, millions live on like the rest of us.

   The settlements will happen long after we have left this earth. the law being as it is.

   Strive for excellence, nothing but your best.

2. Drew,

   Lawsuits are the last bastion of regulation. Where the self-regulatory and government regulators refuse to act, the civil suit is the last device left to “correct” an actual or perceived “wrong.”

   As for your description of “blood suckers” just remember, one man’s villain is another man’s hero. Everyone hates the lawyer until he needs one…

3. Dear Drew,

   I was actually a little suprised by this cartoon. I would have bet money (the money I never got to bet on “I’ll have Another” in the Belmont) that today’s picture would have been about the L.A. Kings Stanley cup since it was not only their first but the fact they made the playoffs as the #8 seed and had gone through 3 coaches during the season.

   Oh well, glad I didn’t make the bet.

   All the best

4. Funny how everyone hates us…until you need one. When it’s some else’s rights then we’re called blood sucking lawyers, but how that changes when it’s your rights and interests on the line.
