I am retired US Army having served in 3 conflicts, I wonder if we had lost WW II and other conflicts if there would even be the NFL? I fought and lost alot of friends, not making even what the lowest paid player makes! My profession, in which I chose, was the infantry. Injuries and even death are at a higher percentage than players... that play in the NFL, yet players choose there jobs, and expect to be paid alot of money!! Yes I know alot of players do not make alot of money and your career in the NFL is short term! Same can be said of all military members. I think the players are doing a disservice to the game and the fans! If NFL players were smart and wanted me to accept there plight, then I suggest that they go back to work and negotiate in good faith. A lot of players own businesses! Maybe your employees should get together and ask you to open your books, give a better pay scale, and better health coverage! Some of you players know what I am talking about! I know most, if not all NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA players live better than the average Americans! I am not a fan of the owners, but walking away also hurts your fans!

I wanted to thank both you and Darren for taking the time to comment on my piece in Above the Law. You are absolutely right--I should have mentioned state regulations. My column will be updated momentarily.

This is my first visit to your site; however, I must tell you: you do nice work. Your state-by-state chart provides a great service to the greater sports community.

All the best.
