What benefits or payment do the retired NFLPA council members get? Preferential treatment, free meals, trips, expense reimbursement? Sounds like everyone should want to be on board!

Dave:

Take a look at today&#039;s articles on our website, specifically the second channel: we touched on the &quot;settlement&quot; - and there will be another column next week...

Dear Jean Fugett,

I will be giving you a call and I have 3 questions:

1) When are they going to fix the disability system so that so many of the guys you profess to be there for won&#039;t get screwed any more?!!

2) Why does the NFLPA White Paper says that if a guy qualifies for SSDI, he won&#039;t have to be examined by a Plan doctor - but it&#039;s a lie?

3) Why does the White Paper only give part of the story about Dave Pear – they forgot to tell the whole truth that included the fact their own doctor said I had an 80% or greater impairment to my spine – &lt;strong&gt;FOUR TIMES GREATER&lt;/strong&gt; than what is needed to qualify for Line of Duty – yet I was denied both?  Where was &lt;strong&gt;MY&lt;/strong&gt; union when I needed them?!! (ARRRGGG-GHHHHH!!)

Regards,
Dave Pear</description>
