The greed of these owners is a astonishing. This is a potential PR nightmare.

I have a feeling the NFL is happy thinking Gene Upshaw and the NFLPA is taking it on the chin for this one. But the reality is the entire NFL is looking bad. It is really up to the NFL owners to authorize the expenditure to cover this not the NFLPA.
How about the NFL not waste their money on the SuperBowl halftime acts, which is a joke anyways and spend it to build a fund to pay for the medical costs of the needy ex players?

i am not arguing about the greed of everyone involved, the owners have very little to do with this. its all about the union
