Former New York Jets star Mark Gastineau, who revealed last year that he's battling serious brain issues, broke down sobbing during a radio interview Thursday night in which he begged NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to help ailing former players.
"I want the NFL to treat people right," Gastineau told host Pete McCarthy during an interview on WOR radio. "I want to hold you to your promise, Roger Goodell. You said, 'Anything I need!' ... I want the players to be treated right."
Gastineau, 61, who entered the league in 1979, said he has known Goodell since the early 1980s, when Goodell was a public-relations intern with the Jets.
