Why don&#039;t you guys come to the NFLPA retired players convention and see what is going on?  I hear your summit is not happening.

The NFLPA paid attorney Jeffrey Kessler almost $5,000,000 in 2008 and he was majorly defeated in the Players Inc. scandal and now he&#039;s appealing!(?) Will he make another $5,000,000 in 2009?

Does Mr. Kessler or Mr. Berthelsen or Mr. Condon carry more authority with the NFLPA Leadership than their newly-elected Executive Director DeMaurice Smith?

What about the extensive and expensive search that was made for Mr. Smith? 

Why would a person leave their current place of employment for another job and not even know the new terms and conditions?

Was Mr. Smith only told a half-truth about this new position? A half truth is still a lie.

Is this the reason why Gene Upshaw did not want a replacement?

This doesn&#039;t make sense but I&#039;m not surprised. This is business-as-usual and a way of life for the NFLPA Leadership.

Mr. Smith, please keep your guard up as you negotiate with these rascals.

Who&#039;s in charge over there at the NFLPA?

Is this practice in harmony with the AFL-CIO?

So many questions and no answers...

This is just one of the many reasons why a GAO (Government Accountability Office) audit would expose some of their business dealings!

Sincerely,
Dave &amp; Heidi Pear</description>
