Call a 1-800 lawyer once you've gotten the skin cancer, and you'll be swimming in cash on your deathbed.

I wonder if I can sue the farms I worked on when I was a teen. I knew the job required that I be outside in the sun but they never had a shade covering me at all times as I worked my way down the rows. That would have greatly reduced my exposure to UV rays. Now I may get cancer because of all that sun. I mean who would have thought getting burned to a crisp would be bad for me. I don't think the 4.25 an hour was worth it now.

My Latino Brother, I too worked the fields for six years, and my lily white skin provided no protection from UV rays. But I'm pretty damn sure my boss didn't no dick about UV exposure risk, as he was out there too with his lily white skin frying like mine. And that's the point. The players were given ready access to medications that should have been under the careful monitoring of a dude who knew dick about medications. NFL teams are akin to medical clinics, and they have a responsibility to ensure that the docs they employ are following best practices. If anything, given the pressures they are under and their work ethic, the teams needed to protect the players from themselves.

But damn, brother, you made 4.25? I was happy with 3.80.

You fellas are very young making that GOOD DOUGH.

I worked for the City of Saint John, NB Woods Dept. before I graduated from High School (1965 Summer Job) and made an adults wage of...

($1.80/HR). That was very decent money.
