As the NFL’s concussion settlement waded through a bureaucratic and legal quagmire, Paul Lowe waited.
The former MVP of the old AFL, a record-setting Chargers running back, waited through his 81st birthday … then his 82nd. He waited, through the death of two grandchildren in a horrific fire last October. He waited, through the passing of his daughter Carrie from cancer, a few short months ago.
He waited, through his own recent diagnosis of prostate cancer.
Lowe’s been told again and again that he qualified for the settlement, but the delays and slow drip of answers — if any answers arrived at all — became maddening.
