    ... obviously not unless they stop the kneeling. They aren't that chodish. Nah, they're demanding that the league gives them insurance and a life-time stipend.

    http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/2...nnual-salaries

    In a letter sent to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith and Pro Football Hall of Fame president C. David Baker on Tuesday, many high-profile Pro Football Hall of Famers said they would not attend the annual induction ceremony until Hall of Famers receive health insurance and an annual salary that includes a share of league revenue.
    But some of those Hall of Famers who supposedly had signed the letter, including Jerry Rice and Kurt Warner, said later Tuesday that while they support the idea of improved benefits for all players, they never said they would boycott Hall of Fame induction ceremonies.
    Seems ridiculous to me. I think the idea of offering comprehensive healthy insurance to former players who played X number of years makes a ton of sense. By it's dumb to think the NFL has to keep paying guys for things they did years ago without that having been agreed to in the past. Like if the players want to get compensation for official appearances, more power to them. But why do they deserve a check just for being alive -- or not even alive in the case of Reggie White's widow.

    NFL won't give in, nor should they...turn it into half-induction/half roast for the new inductees. When the public sees what a show it is hopefully some of the blame will go to the freeloaders

    Being in the HOF is a great honor. But nobody really cares much about what those guys do after football. I don't care to see any of them.
