So much for that idea...
US District Judge Anita Brody thinks the $900-million settlement between the National Football League and the nearly 4,500 defendants that played for the league and has pulled it off the table...
"I am primarily concerned that not all retired NFL football players who ultimately receive a qualifying diagnosis or their (families) ... will be paid," Brody wrote as part of her 12-page opinion.
Distribution is supposed to be on a sliding scale set to a former player's age and medical diagnosis and is supposed to last up to 65 years...
The HQ does not see how that math is ever supposed to work for the 20,000 players on the list awarded through the 4,500 who filed the suit...
As did Peter King when he was interviewed by CNN at the time of the settlement...
The NFL is one great negotiator and are still not moving from their stance...
"We respect Judge Brody's request for additional information as a step towards preliminary approval," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in a statement. "We will work with the plaintiffs' attorneys to supply that information promptly to the court and special master. We are confident that the settlement is fair and adequate, and look forward to demonstrating that to the court."
