    Roughly 9 year career in the NFL. Never made the big money at the time, or that players are making today. Probably retired early 30’s with no parallel career. Need I say more?

    Liability has many facets, including contributory liability. Is it really negligence when the player, as much as the coach or MD, wants to get back in the game. Make the big play. Be the hero.

    To blindly follow an MDs, or team physicians approach, or consume meds in any form without understanding the consequences is being negligent and certainly a contributing factor to any liability. The alternative would have been to “just say no.”

    This suit should be DOA. NFL, judges, jurors, just say no.
