My second reaction is, If these players have a problem with the medical advice given by a specific doctor, why are they not suing that individual doctor? What does the league have to do with it (besides the obvious deep pockets)? If I have a problem with the actions of one of my doctors, I sue him or her specifically. They’re the one looking over my chart and making decisions, not the hospital or HMO they work under.

If a hospital allows Frank Abignale to operate on people, then the hospital might possibly bear some liability for the results.
 
2) It is way too early to criticize commissioner Roger Goodell for what kind of discipline he may or may not enact when it comes to Ravens running back Ray Rice (domestic violence) and Colts owner Jim Irsay (suspicion of driving while intoxicated, possession of a controlled substance). Goodell almost always waits until a case has run its course before coming down with punishment, unless something else forces his hand. Rice’s case just finished, and Irsay’s is still going.
 
 
So Goodell "almost always" does something, unless he doesn't.

This guy should never be allowed to live down the Aaron Hernandez "heart of gold" comment.
