The Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund held a press forum featuring former DALLAS COWBOY, DARYL JOHNSTON who left football with a broken neck after 11 brutal but stellar seasons. Johnston revealed his first hand experiences and frustration with the NFLPA disability system.  A group of NFL retired players and family members, also disclosed their nightmarish experiences with the NFLPA benefits system. Joining Daryl Johnston at the event was CONRAD DOBLER, three time Pro Bowler and dire need player who has been turned down multiple times for NFL disability despite 13 surgeries, BRIAN DEMARCO, a dire need player who resides in Austin Texas, suffers from a cracked back and nerve damage who has yet to have a claim opened after four years, DAVE PEAR, pro bowl nose guard & dire need player who after seven operations on his spine has also been denied,

Those in attendance are featured in this months issue of Men’s Journal Magazine as part of an in-depth special investigative report, “Casualties of the NFL," which addresses the abandonment and betrayal of former players by the NFL/NFLPA; also, the possible corruption and grotesque conflict of interest that many retired players feel exists.
