    THIS IS THE TYPE OF FOOTBALL THAT I RECALL. RULES, THERE WERE NO RULES JUST A BUNCH OF FOOTBALL PLAYERS DOING WHAT THEY DID EVERY WEEK AND NOT MANY COMPLAINTS LIKE THERE IS TODAY. NO THIRD DOWN SPECIALISTS OR AS A MATTER OF FACT NO REAL SPECIAL TEAMS.

    Does any one else know that Zimmerman and Reed have a class action suit against the NFL for concussions? I received an e-mail from Hausfeld asking if we were interested. When I replied asking if they were working with Zimmerman, they forwarded me to the blog from Jeff Nixon.

    How many groups are out there fighting for the same monies?

      Michael:

      A Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO or quadro) is an court order that governs how retirement benefits are to be divided between two people, usually as part of a divorce settlement. The quadro legally recognizes another persons right to share in someone’s retirement benefits. If this applies to you, you should speak with your lawyer.
