Like Kanell said there's a war against the NFL.

"League of Denial," the PBS Frontline Special on the topic, would probably be more accurate.

Glad you were given the opportunity for such an awesome experience with the NFLPA office and the movie premiere.  I plan to see this movie, it sounds interesting. 

 

Justin's sports blog is a must read for any Raven fan.  He brings and intelligent, well-written and insightful point of view to the issues he covers, often with a well developed dry wit.

Hey Justin, I'm glad you are having some fun recuperating from your injury. Good for you.

The two PBS NFL specials everyone needs to watch are:

 

1. "A league of denial" - concussions, ESPN severed its relationship with PBS over this one, the NFL loathes this one

 

2. "The unauthorized history of the NFL" - gambling - aired only one time in 1983(?), banned from airwaves, you can find it now on your favorite internet video site, the NFL wishes this one would disappear forever....

...and Don Cheadle does a great African accent. Ever see Hotel Rowanda? Will Smith is a box office heavy hitter, but not a better actor.

WOW you can tell the interest in the Ravens has fallen off the cliff. 6 people on here and it been up 21 hours.

This is what is going down now with DFS. Kraft and Jones owning stakes in them are like everyone else with ties to gambling. Rooneys relatives with team shares recently had to sell because of nfl restrictions. Kraft and Jones will have to sell sooner rather than later.
