by Kent Sterling The NFL Preseason is a lot like Easter for kids. They look forward to the holiday, and when it arrives wonder why they bothered. Fans look forward to anything that looks a little like the game they love, but the starters are pulled after a couple of series, and everyone whines about […]
by Kent Sterling More than 4,000 retirees and families from the NFL will share in a $765 million settlement of a lawsuit against the NFL brought by those who have suffered long-term head trauma playing pro football.
