I’ve been following your e-mails and blogs for quite sometime. I’m only speaking for myself. My situation and living situation vs status is quite different. I’ve lived in an apartment all my life except when I had a house. Which brings to mind extortion charges and conflict-of-interest between the New York laws and California as well as other states. How about new inventions, as in football equipment? These will be some of my arguments including disability fraud to extort personal property, and my own money earned. That’s how I lost my first house. My credit and personal financial affairs were affected by NFL and NFL-related business. My time for $$ WEALTH $$ is coming soon!

How could D. Smith be authorized to sign the 2008 LM-2 when he was not even an officer of the NFLPA at the time? In my mind, it opens a lot of questions about the selection process for the Ex. Dir…

Thanks for the LM-2, we all have a lot of heavy reading before us. As you read the LM-2 keep in mind the six gosls and objectives established in Las Vegas:
1. Unified Retirement Organization,
2. Pension Reform,
3. Disability Reform
4. Dire need assistance TODAY!!
5. GAO audit of NFLPA
6. Recovering, retaining & managing our licensing rights.

Keep focused on these goals as you read the LM-2. I thought it would help to remind everyone where we are headed. STAY FOCUSED!

Dave and Mr. Lee, thanks.

Drew Brees was paid $434,847.00 in 2008 from the NFLPA!! This does not include his football contract as an active player. What IS going on over there at the NFLPA offices in Washington DC (besides a fire in Mr. Smith’s bathroom)?

Andre Collins is not qualified to be the NFLPA Director of Retired Players! Like Gene Upshaw, he doesn’t understand the law. Andre, please allow me to give you some unsolicited advice: Resign immediately! And refund your salary of $155,957.00 you were paid in 2008.

Schedule 13: Retired members do not have voting rights because they are not and cannot be members of the collective bargaining unit as certified by the NLRB. Andre, please write this 10 times on the chalk board and then meditate on it so it does not go in one ear and out the other.

Mary Moran is paid $207,335.00 …for what?!! This is an increase over her 2007 salary.

Richard Berthelsen was paid $1,013,351. Does this include, “Negotiating and drafting player (GLA) group licensing agreements and special event contracts? (As stated on his Sports Lawyer Assoc. Resume under NFLPA work experience Section F.)

The NFLPA Leadership is certainly living up to the language in the courts that jurors found them to be guilty of and included such phrases as “malicious and oppressive conduct with evil motive,” and “conduct that was outrageous and grossly fraudulent!!!”

Nothing has changed and it’s business as usual. The only difference is there are some new faces that have joined this bunch of rascals and now it is ALL happening under your watch, Mr. Smith.

The NFLPA was found guilty of Breaching their fiduciary responsibility in Federal court to retired players.

The retired players are RIGHT and our crooked and grossly fraudulent union are WRONG!!!!!

This dark cloud hanging over the NFLPA will only become darker until justice is served. We will not accept any more PR stunts that are designed to mislead Congress.

We will press on for a GAO (Government Accountability Office) audit that will make the fraud transparent that is pervasive throughout YOUR NFLPA Leadership.

Sincerely,
Dave & Heidi Pear
