omg, like you couldn't see this horror coming. wonder if NFL's for-profit status change will hide her compensation? https://t.co/Ux2WGbUIB6

@woodrowwoodaman @berniewilson uggh, pretty bad stuff. She has a click bait POV - maybe she'll get on ESPN.

[Concussion Report @ConcussionRep]

@woodrowwoodaman @berniewilson Her argument is weak, but not a shock. Just a knee jerk assessment. At least she didn't call it a money grab.

[Concussion Report @ConcussionRep]

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

[Concussion Report @ConcussionRep]

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

[The Sporting News @sportingnews]

Tony Gwynn’s family needs to stop blaming tobacco industry for his death, says @engeljen. https://t.co/Vk12sGLnYh

[Concussion Report @ConcussionRep]

Well, cheerleaders know what they signed up for. https://t.co/DmQV8DN2ze

NFL and its slew of insurers - suing each other today, still making millions together tomorrow. https://t.co/PCW9u4SNHx

[Daniel Kaplan @KaplanSportsBiz]

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

[Concussion Report @ConcussionRep]

word. https://t.co/BcgeAzzyiH

[Concussion Report @ConcussionRep]

@PaulD_Anderson @GeneEgdorf Sure, but $765M over 65 year span. Been awhile since I played around with net present value.

[Concussion Report @ConcussionRep]

We'll all be long gone before Paul Tagliabue and Elliot Pellman ever get deposed. https://t.co/l635e3pWMt

[Paul D. Anderson @PaulD_Anderson]

It's a huge bargaining chip. Is #NFL willing to forego a billion dollars in potential coverage to avoid discovery? https://t.co/m9kA2thYip

[Concussion Report @ConcussionRep]

@jeffnixon Correct. They opted-in or as you put it "agreed to the Concussion Settlement" by not doing anything at all. Exactly what I said.

[Concussion Report @ConcussionRep]

@jeffnixon Thanks Jeff. Read it. Just sayin it's stretch to say they "agreed" when no action counted as OPT-IN, but to OPT-OUT is a process.

[Concussion Report @ConcussionRep]

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

[Concussion Report @ConcussionRep]

Not really. There was no step to "agree." 15,000 former players did nothing. Never sued, appealed or opted-out. https://t.co/zqX95e8qiF

[Concussion Report @ConcussionRep]

Maybe Tagliabue & Pash had zero exposure to their Big Tobacco client while @ Covington Law. https://t.co/SXfrncmkr5 https://t.co/i3vhfAprqN

[Paul D. Anderson @PaulD_Anderson]

Does the NFL really want to open itself up to discovery on its alleged connection w/ Big Tobacco and junk science? https://t.co/kQAKAo5znY

[Concussion Report @ConcussionRep]

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

[Pete Prisco @PriscoCBS]

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.

[Concussion Report @ConcussionRep]

Please, just listen to the interview and you'll know to ignore him. He's stupid. https://t.co/Fkf1aZnfLn https://t.co/3RKbZFrpna

[Outside the Lines @OTLonESPN]

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

[Concussion Report @ConcussionRep]

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

[Concussion Report @ConcussionRep]

Yes, NFL's law firm since 1960 strategized Big Tobacco science panels. NFL still big client. https://t.co/HzWGmgohuV https://t.co/xtO0PM7frc
