Judge rejects NFL concussion settlement

oh my...

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Can the retired players with pre-exisiting conditions now be herded into Obamacare? If the federal government was competent (I know, AHAHAHAHA) with regards to providing accurate premium costs and the increases over the comign years to be anticipated, that could help set a dollar amount based on the number of players to benefit from a settlement.

But since we live in reality, nevermind.

$765M NFL concussion settlement, is concerned sum may not be enough

It wasn't nearly enough. Most people with the knowledge of the case were stunned it was less than 1B

Judges have the power in all cases to reject a proposed settlement between the parties, but usually if the parties are agreeable to a settlement, the judge usually goes along with it instead of dragging things out.

I wonder if the judge wasn't concerned that the lawyers were getting the goldmine while the players were getting the shaft (RIP Jerry Reed ).

Cut a bigger check now, and say this is the last time. These people are signing contracts for hundreds of thousands of dollars or millions these days.

What did people expect when two, 6 foot 2, 210 pound people running 4.4's would be purposely trying to inflict pain on one another?

I thought the amount was already agreed to by both sides?. . . Why is a judge making a decision on anything?
