Fellow NFL Retirees and your loved ones,
How many more?
How many of our NFL brothers are suffering brain damage, without receiving benefits, in order for current owners, unions execs, Groom Law and current players to wallow in unfathomable profits?
Here now is Bill Maas, another lineman with brain damage, another player from the old Astro-Turf era
"The frontal lobe of his brain is damaged. Doctors say it's a direct result of his NFL career and has caused him depression, minor speech problems and extreme loss of short-term memory.
It's one of the conditions that drove him online, buying hydrocodone and other painkillers from pharmacies he knew probably weren't legitimate. He says his drug use began when his broadcasting career went downhill; a source says it was the other way around."

Goodell and Upshaw are comfortably unconcerned..don't forget, they went to the trouble of hiring a rheumatologist from Guadalara U ( I can't make this stuff up!) to head the NFL's Concussion committee.
Damn if his committee, paid by the NFL, just couldn't find any correlation between football - (the most violent sport since the gladiators)- and head injuries, with all the accompanying mental disorders and addictions.
As we speak, Groom Law is already working on an NFL disability board draft of a final denial decision blaming Bill's problems on being overweight or having high blood pressure..
Please join our prayers for Bill and the thousands of ex-players and their family members who are suffering as you read this.
If you yourself, or a loved one, is suffering from similar problems, please contact me here at Dignity After Football (

or better yet, contact Gridiron Greats at
www.gridirongreats.org for assistance. These problems are widespread---and they are very real and can cause a world of trouble for you if left unchecked.
Thanks, and take care of each other,
Brent Boyd
