They need to develop some sort of knee brace that's lightweight, and doesn't alter one's stride when running to protect from knee injuries.

NFL settled their concussion lawsuit and they got away with highway robbery. Straight no vaseline.
-170k per plaintiff (that's before lawyer fees). League made 9B last season. They're going to dish out just 765M.
-Settlement doesn't have to be paid immediately
-Settlement cannot be considered an admission of liability that injuries were caused by football.

I generally don't do articles, especially lengthy one's like the one above, but this was a GREAT read.
I definitely recommend it, even if you think you know all there is to know about the night of the shooting... never new about his pops
9 billion in one year, and they use 10% of that ONE YEAR amount, to pay off the players for life. 
50% over the first 3 years, and 17 years to pay the other 50%.
170Kish per player.
The NFL just walked into the club and made it rain with 5 dollar bills and walked out and that's all the players will ever get now.
Welp, so much for the players having any sort of backbone. Just like the CBA, the players always take it in the shorts.

Edit: Mel is garbage though
I would honestly love to listen to a podcast with Simmons or someone where they just talked Kiper through players he got wrong.
Not even to see him look bad or anything, just because it would be interesting to talk about how guys like Gallery, or Curry, or AJ Hawk are supposed to have all the tools and be guaranteed pro bowlers and go so wrong without injuries.
Was he wrong in the first place? Did they change after reaching the league?
Curry was just straight up not good enough to play in the NFL.

Kind of impossible.
A lot of that money is suppose to go to the players now. The settlement means nothing to the league, although its gonna hurt active players.

Man I remember I was pissed when the hawks got tj whosyourmama because I wanted them to draft Crabtree and that meant there was no shot and we would more than likely get curry.

Yup. I don't think they deserve anything. You know exactly what you're signing up for. If you don't want to get hurt, find another job. Take that 765 mil and lower the prices of seats, merchandise and the football package.

Personally, for the value of MY entertainment, I'd rather watch a game that is smarter about safety. And millions of other people feel the same way.

Although people do know about the risks of the game, medicine and concussions in general was looked at differently when many of these guys played. That in itself lends merit to their lawsuit.

The way technology advances, there will probably be a special helmet or brace to protect against injuries.

no helmet they're gonna make is gonna stop concussions.
a concussion happens when your brain slams against the side of your skull. adding protection to the outside of your skull ain't saving your brain.

^^ technology is incredible. someone will figure it out and make one. lets just hope its before the players have flags tied around their waists

what sort of technology is anyone going to implement that creates a cushion between the brain and the inside walls of the human skull?

i can tell you right away i am not a damn scientists. but if was to guess i would think something that takes all the force away from the hit so it would in turn basically be like a goth head banging at a concert
