Looks like the NFL has another medical lawsuit on their
hands, but this time it has nothing to do with concussions. It seems that 17
players and 2 referees are suing the NFL for their cancer.
Artie Goldstein, lawyer to the plaintiffs, is reporting that
cancer has become an epidemic in the NFL. We ask what is causing the cancer? They are telling us the first down yellow line is the culprit. The laser being
used has large amounts of arsenic and yellow dye which are two proven cancer
causing agents.
Jimmy “No Neck” Thompson, former fullback of the Tennessee
Titans, claims that he made a career of contracting cancer. “You don’t think
the coaches knew about this?” said Thompson. “You have to be crazy. Chris
Johnson runs the ball 30 times a game but the second its 3rd and 1 or 4th
and 1, they bring me in. They don’t want to “run” the risk of their precious running
back falling on the line. When you fall on that line you know something’s
wrong. It’s like you can feel the cancer entering your pores.”
One official who chose to remain anonymous said “you ever wonder why the yellow line is not visible when we are measuring a first down? We have
to call up to the booth to make sure that thing is not on before we measure.
One game Ed Hockeley thought it would be funny and have the booth tell me it
was off when it really wasn’t. I had to measure over 20 first downs that game.
3 weeks later I have full blown Ball Cancer”.
Looks like the NFL has more medical drama on their hands than
a season of Grey’s Anatomy. How will this issue be handled by the NFL? One
thing we can tell you is that no matter how much safer you make the game, first
downs will be as common as ever. And the fans are going to want to know where
those first downs are!
