Quote:Agreed.  The team has a greater vested interest in the player than either the league or the NFLPA.  Teams should be allowed to contract independent health care professionals to administer whatever care the player requires.  Additionally, the health care professionals should be able to brief the team and league of the player's progress while keeping medical information private in accordance with HIPAA rules.  I concede, that's a fine line, but with disclosure waivers signed by the player it should be achievable.  Almost anything is better than the system currently in place.      

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
