.@engeljen SN piece blaming Tony Gwynn for his cancer doesn't recognize he became addicted in 1977. Tobacco lawsuit settled 20 years later.


Not so fast. Gywnn got addicted almost 40 yrs ago. Walt Garrison was still on TV saying how great a lil' pinch was.

Tony Gwynn’s family needs to stop blaming tobacco industry for his death, says @engeljen. sportingnews.com/mlb/news/tony-…

Well, cheerleaders know what they signed up for.

College medical experts: Cheerleading more of concussion risk than football usat.ly/1Yk6zKv



NFL and its slew of insurers - suing each other today, still making millions together tomorrow.

Insurers and NFL have 2 wks 2 agree on discovery schedule. Insurers argue they shld not pay NFL because league knew risks. More in @sbjsbd



We'll all be long gone before Paul Tagliabue and Elliot Pellman ever get deposed.

It's a huge bargaining chip. Is #NFL willing to forego a billion dollars in potential coverage to avoid discovery?



Hopefully, 15k former NFL players without a concussion attorney will register for settlement compensation. Miss deadline - no money, ever.


Not really. There was no step to "agree." 15,000 former players did nothing. Never sued, appealed or opted-out.

Maybe Tagliabue & Pash had zero exposure to their Big Tobacco client while @ Covington Law. wallstreetonparade.com/2012/09/was-th…

Does the NFL really want to open itself up to discovery on its alleged connection w/ Big Tobacco and junk science?



I don't get it. NFL writers like owners manipulating the science? Or just pro-ignorance like Arians? @GregABedard

So now the attack on football, on guys like Bruce Arians for saying what he did, is back on again? Nobody forces anybody to play. Period.



Please, just listen to the interview and you'll know to ignore him. He's stupid. mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2016/03/2…

OTL today 130p E2: Bruce Arians says "People that say I won't let my son play football are fools." What is your reaction? #FootballQuestions



To understand how powerful NFL & Big Tobacco's common law firm is: Revolving door includes Tagliabue, Eric Holder, Jeff Pash & Lanny Breuer.


Yes, NFL's law firm since 1960 strategized Big Tobacco science panels. NFL still big client. profootballconcussions.com/the-boys-of-co…

Dr. McKee: CTE has a unique identifying characteristic upon post-mortem diagnosis. But symptoms overlap during life. c-span.org/video/?406450-…

Guilty. However, been proven right several times after game when the concussed player is finally properly diagnosed.
