The NFL and NFLPA should step up and support these players.

There isn’t a legal requirement, but a billion dollar a year business should do more for these guys.

That may be, and for PR reasons they may do just that...but...these guys are payed very well, they know the risks, they make their choices...now, because they their poor choices are catching up with them...they need more from others. Sorry, I may appear heartless, but excrement occurs.

“On the refinery subject, I have always wondered why the Iranians pissed away so much money on Nuclear war when they could have built their own refinery.”

They make millions. I think they should handle it themselves.

That's why players have agents and contracts.........

With that being said, as expected, we only have Reggie's side of the story

Do these players have any personal responsibility for their physical conditions now if they took steroids and/or other drugs since high school? Why blame it all on the NFL?

The lawyers are going to get rich and NFL football as we know it will be ruined.

Explain? Tony Mandrich.
