Default NFL sued for brain injuries

The beginning is what caught my eye. How long has Jamal Lewis been out of the league to claim that he is "struggling with medical problems YEARS after" playing?????

Jamal Lewis, Dorsey Levens and two other former NFL players have sued the league over brain injuries that they say left them struggling with medical problems years after their playing days ended

Two seasons? One? Yes Jamal Lewis is an eyebrow raiser but Dorsey Levens has been out of football for a while.

The bigger issue at hand is that SOMEONE is finally pointing the finger at the NFL and asking them to be as accountable as other professional sports leagues with concussions and it's clear the NFL is falling behind, and has been behind the concussion curve for quite some time. PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING is more serious about concussions... no joke.

I've been comparing the NFL to the NHL for a long time regarding this issue because it blows my mind how nonchalant the NFL is at times regarding what over recent years especially has evolved to be a very, very serious medical issue. The NFL has been a joke and I think this seems to be the first season that others are starting to click that maybe the NFL has not been accountable, IMO. I'm surprised it wasn't a bigger talking point during the lockout.

We had a pretty good draft, and I'd like to start seeing some results.
Fans already looking to next year and I don't blame them.
I think we will have things to be excited about that we lacked last year and we have some real facepalm moments just like last year.
It's going to be tough.
We aren't Barking Hard for nothing.
WOOF WOOF WOOF!
