We knew this day was coming...........we have seen it play out on TV legal-dramas  for years. In fact, just last week Harry's Law had an episode where this happened at the HS level and Boston Legal has had an episode on it in the past.

Well, now its happening in real life with the NFL and its starting in Atlanta with players from Atlanta such as Jamal Lewis, Dorsey Levens, and Ryan Stewart (from the 2 Live Stews).

What the hell they thought they were playing badminton!!! This is bullsh*t. They knew the risk and were paid accordining. Its not like they were making minimum wage out there. The more dangerous your job is the more money you get. i bet you that 95% of these former players are broke. ONLY IN AMERICA!!!

I would tend to say "that's life..you picked a tough game"....but since the NFL is a multi-billion dollar deal these days I figure they should put together a reasonable package for the "scramble-brains".

How long before sacks are outlawed?  NFL fans from the '70's must be tackling their TV's.
