There is a half used role of duct tape that he uses to attach a pen to his gnarled hand while he writes. Words and incoherent sentences are scrawled across pages and pages of a yellow legal pad. All of the letters that he writes are directed to the NFL about problems that they have ignored, pushed aside out of greed for money. A light flickers in the…
