Old Fans Send Encouragement
I’m getting more and more e-mails like this from old fans near and far. Thanks to each and every one of you for your good thoughts to Heidi and me!
Sir,
Thank you for including me in this e-mail. If the average fan could see how the league treats its former players there would be a backlash, thelikes that they have never seen.
This is an outrage that you have to fight for what any reasonable person can observe is your legal compensation for your service in the NFL. If there is anything I can do to assist you in this endeavor, please let me know. I live in Northern Virginia so if you needed my assistance, for whatever reason with Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, just ask.
My retirement from the U.S. Army was approved two weeks ago. I will be able to work as a civilian in Mid-Late Nov 08. My passion is sports and specifically football. I can think of no better calling than to find
some way I could use my 20 years of military experience to work on behalf of players such as yourself in the NFL.
You have my promise that if I am able to find a position within the NFL I will work for you and people like you that need assistance.
Keep the Faith! Again, do not hesitate to ask me to assist; I can think of nothing more noble. If you just need someone to talk to…let me know. Take care and God Bless, Mad Dog.

Public awareness is the number one priority for achieving our goals. We appreciate your response and thank you for spreading the gospel.
Fourth and Goal (www.fourthandgoalunites.com) not only helps in securing assistance to players in need and helping people like Dave Pear in bringing public awareness of the neglect shown by Gene Upshaw and our supposed Union, we are fighting to gain representation for retired players. You can help us by learning more about our sponsorship opportunities and supporting our Fourth & Goal Classic. It is a great way to “brand” your company with past greats while supporting a worthwhile cause.
