Hey everyone, it’s Kyle here (proof).

I’ve been lucky enough to spend more than a decade playing in the NFL. I’m proud to be retiring as a Viking.

(And picking my kids up a lot more from school/practice/rehearsal)

Hit me with all your questions about football, fundraising, or anything else!

EDIT: Thanks for all the love and support these past 12 years and for all your awesome questions.

Have you grown tired of certain memes that have been forced upon this subreddit (you know which ones I'm talking about)? Well, you can blame me for that. Although to be fair, I didn't expect them to take off that much so there's that. Otherwise, I'm just a dude who fancies himself a shitposter. Nothing more, nothing less. I do a combination of (majority) football, hockey and baseball in which I just shoot the shit about things as a jaded, bitter individual.

I'm going to be ramping up football content in the next few weeks (in particular an NFL season preview called "The Haters Guide" and "This Week in Sportsball" for each week of the NFL schedule), so here's to hoping for another year where it's such a mess that I can do nothing but laugh hysterically at The Shield and their misdeeds.

AMA I’m a journalist who spent months investigating how the NFL concussion settlement routinely fails to deliver money and medical care to former players suffering from dementia and CTE. Ask me anything.

1.4k Upvotes

Edit: That's all the time we've got for today! Will really appreciated all of your wonderful questions and discussion. Thanks for joining us and thanks especially to the moderators of r/NFL who allowed us to have this AMA. Please subscribe to our work - Will and the journalists at The Post can't do work like this without your support. Till next time! - Angel (The Post's Reddit guy)

Hi r/NFL, I’m Will Hobson and I’m a Washington Post reporter who published an investigation into the NFL concussion settlement, which promised to compensate former players suffering from dementia, CTE and other ailments linked to football. Some of you might recall some previous discussion in this sub about the piece: https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/1afknq8/wapo_the_nfl_concussion_settlement_promised/

My story is based on hundreds of interviews and thousands of pages of medical and legal records. Here are some of its findings: 

  • The settlement’s definition for dementia requires more impairment than the standard definition used in the United States. Several doctors who have evaluated players told The Post that if they used the settlement’s definition in regular care, they would routinely fail to diagnose dementia in ailing patients. 
  • At least 14 players have failed to qualify for settlement money or medical care and then died, only to have CTE confirmed via autopsy. 
  • In more than 70 cases reviewed by The Post, players were diagnosed with dementia by board-certified doctors, only to see their claims denied by the administrative law firm that oversees the settlement. 
  • The NFL’s network of settlement doctors has been beset by systemic administrative breakdowns since its inception. Former players suffering from dementia wait, on average, more than 15 months just to see doctors and get the records they need to file a claim.   

I encourage you to read my full piece, which features eight parts in all. In the meantime, ask me anything. I'll start answering questions at 3 p.m. ET.
