Kiszla: NFL players would have to be brain dead to accept 17th regular-season game in deal offered by league’s franchise owners

How much brain damage is more football worth?

NFL players are not stupid, although the same franchise owners that treat players more like sides of Wagyu beef rather than full partners in America’s most lucrative sports league are now trying to give them the bum’s rush to push through a new collective bargaining agreement, all in the name of more football!

The proposed deal, sent Thursday for ratification or rejection by players, has been loudly – and sometimes profanely – opposed by NFL stars from both sides of the line of scrimmage, from Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson to longtime Broncos defensive lineman Derek Wolfe.
