You give a bunch of men a lot of money at an early age and very little preparation for what to do after that career is over and you're going to see a lot of bad lives as well as some who overcame and moved on.

I still look at Biggio and Bagwell. One figured out what he wanted after his career was over and the other still hasn't. It's not football. It's the money.

Yes, but the head trauma in football is not helping these men after their playing careers are over, either.

I don't weep for them, these players made conscious career decisions.
