Gene Hog Upshaw

For a guy who knows the law and can read his NFLPA card, the NFLPA’s Gene Upshaw seems to keep coming up a few fries short of a Happy Meal. I just received this call-to-arms from Tony Davis asking for all of us retired players (and all lovers of the game) to write or call your Senators and Congressmen (and Congresswomen) to let them know about this outrageous and open looting of our resources by people who have no concern for our welfare at all. Tony includes links to e-mail and/or office addresses for members of Congress and the Senate. (You may want to include NFL in the subject line to make sure they don’t dump your correspondence if they see you’re from out of their district!)
