it's like people thinking smoking wasn't bad for them. i dunno, i do think the NFL should be 100% upfront with anything it knows and the results of it's studies for the new guys coming in, but i'm still surprised current/recently retired players weren't 100% aware getting gang tackled 100 times a day wasn't good for your long term health.

i understand the older guys argument a bit more since some of them didn't make enough money to cover the associated medical problems, but for a guy that made 20+mill... come on.
