Add another zero and that MIGHT be enough money to catalyze something.

17 million is enough to "catalyze something"

That's truly great for the older guys, but I still maintain my hardline stance that any players who began their careers after the 1981 strike should get nothing and like it. Those guys have had numerous opportunities to address this problem every time a new CBA came up, every time their agents negotiated deals for them, and almost to a man they've rejected helping out the guys who came before them. Until it's time for their own medical needs, that is--then they want their cake with icing and sprinkles on top.

I fully agree with you Icness.

On another note, I believe many players, if not all of them should be investigated (that's only more money) to see how they are spending there money when they had it during the past. I don't believe someone should receive money from the NFL if they were reckless with the the money they earned during the past.
