Among many glaring oversights and misstatements by the Reader contributor are Daugherty's false assertion that the NFL controls the payouts, a key factor that the players fought for and were victorious in achieving. He also fails to point out that the players were granted access to professional accountants and advisers, overseeing the payouts and seeking ways to insert options that will allow the pool to remain viable for 65 years. But most conspicuous is the omission that the NFL is picking up the attorney's fees, estimated to be at least $200 million. All of which brings the payout to one billion smackeroos, with half of it being paid during the first three years in order to fund the pool.
Bottom line, the players are pleased with the deal. Read the article to discover why. — September 6, 2013 6:20 a.m.
