I'm a workers comp defense attorney, so I know a little about it and what is allowed under the laws. I just have a fundamental disagreement with the law, particularly as it applies to professional athletes.

I'm a workers comp defense attorney so I know a little bit about comp. and I know what's allowable under the code as far as cumulative injuries, I just disagree with the policy.

The problem with that logic is that most of these claims are cumulative trauma injuries rather than specific injuries. If a player comes here and blows his knee out, that's one thing. But if he plays a game here and you can't point to a specific injury incident, you are placing his entire career injury history into…

And regarding your point that every state should have the same law: maybe that's true. I don't know. But the California Workers' Comp system is full of cases of former pro athletes from all over the country, and with the system suffering from such a huge backlog as it is, I can't blame the legislature or the governor…

Full disclosure: I'm a defense attorney and I think CT injuries are bullshit. Mainly because I'm a big fan of assumption of the risk. Regardless of the job you're taking, you know that there are risks associated with it. I'm a lawyer, I'll probably get carpal tunnel from typing all day and I'll probably also get…

Yes, I understand what the law is doing. I'm talking about how the law was before this bill was signed. It's only now, after the bill is signed, that players are required to have played for a California team. Prior to that, anyone who ever played professional sports could file a claim, so long as they played one game…

Man, this just seems a little disingenuous to me to paint the NFL and the other leagues as evil because of this legislation. Someone grows up outside of California, plays pee wee football, high school football, college football outside of California. Then they go to the NFL, play for a team outside of California, but…

Solid, if somewhat douchey, assessment of my commenting history as a whole. +1

Damn, a lot of people are pissed at your characterization of Houston. But let's not forget that most of those people are from Texas and are therefore probably idiots. So don't let it bother you.

Jerry Sandusky HATES this settlement. Mostly because it's over 18.

His dad was just happy to watch him, for once, figuratively eat shit.

Oh, sure, one kid dies from a football head injury and everybody's talking about it. Meanwhile, hundreds of other West Virginia high schoolers are suffering traumatic brain injuries everyday, but for some reason no one is talking about banning pre-algebra.

Oh, no thank you.

Can't say this is much of a shocker; when you have two of the pink, the call's gonna stink.

After our halftime show, the same fine gentleman called a female member of the band the "c" word.

East Hastings is a great song if you want to do a short HIIT workout. If you match your tempo to the song, you will be destroyed at the end. It's low and slow for a good warm up period, then steadily builds up to ease you into it, then has about six minutes of increasing and decreasing intensity, followed up with an…

As someone who has recently done it, I strongly recommend against going to law school to figure out what you want to do with your life.

There's a good possibility that you will end up living in a box even if you do go to law school, unless you go to a top tier school and/or get a full ride somewhere.

Oh shiiiiiit! That sounds awful, dude. Can't believe you made it out alive!

I'm disappointed by that and I didn't even raise you. I can't imagine how your father feels. [hides English literature degree]
