Finally, after 20 years of tracking him down, I found him alive in the back alleys of San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Even with dirt on his face, blood on his suit, and fear in his devil eyes, I didn’t feel one ounce of pity for him, I couldn’t, not after what he did to me. Our eyes locked, adrenaline rushed to my head, filling me up with hatred, making me grow stronger and more powerful than anything anyone could ever dream of, I was transforming into psycho Tom! Everything that has happened in my life has led me right here, the last chapter of my illustrious career. Roger Goodell, the ultimate villain, was laying right in front of me, just him and I no lawyers, no cameras, no media, only us. My fists clenched together, drool spilled out of my mouth, all my focus shifted onto my prey. I bolted.

    Blame For Concussions

    When a problem arises, people tend to look at others to assign blame when (more often than not) their finger should be pointing right back in the mirror. The NFL should not be given sole blame for the concussions players suffer while playing football; they are simply the easiest to target. When it is all broken down, the NFL would not even exist if it were not for every person who has ever bought a ticket, tuned into a game on the television or any form of device, or even bought merchandise. The fans are the water that keep the NFL afloat. During the Super Bowl 50, the peak average of viewers was 115.5 million, and that is just taking in to account the in-home televisions.…
