Should we have more patience with people who are paid less? Maybe Peyton Manning should be held to a higher standard then a free agent punter? These guys don't get paid a lot of money because they moonlight as nutritionist, they exercised prudent care and they were let down on two fronts by the label and the NFL. Money doesn't suddenly give you all the answers and at the same time it shouldn't get you out of every jam. I think on this one the NFL should give it to the free agent punter and punt. And then if he screws it up maybe it won't seem as bad.

Not judging on how much money they make, simply saying that it provides the option of the very best in healthcare. Most of us arent around trainers/doctors every single day at work. I do think the NFL could have done a better job of making the information available, but ultimately its the players responsibility.
I understand the other side of the arguement, and I will just agree to disagree at this point.
Hail to the Redskins!
