Bills also told Talley they didn't hire former players for coaching positions only to do it 2 times while he was there.

Talley deserves help but the fact he bought out his own NFL pension to help salvage his dying business seemed to do more damage for him financial than the concussions did. I'm shocked Bruce Smith and Thurman Thomas would pooled THAT kind of money so Talley and his family could get what sounds like a pretty posh gated community home, those 90's Bills team really had a bond.

Stories like this is why I could see people getting turned off by the NFL now, the greats you used to watch need help from a multi billion dollar organization that has the money to easily help not support but help players and they do next to nothing or just enough to avoid government action.
