"because the players have the will not the NFL corporate offices.. Its the players that have the power in the long run and a core group of career players at that, not the "I'm on this team this year and that team next year crowd". The core group, folks like Joe Montana or Troy Aikman or John Elway, these are the leaders that will take products like EI to the point of succession in the eyes of the NFL management."
I totally disagree with you. Players have no power with NFL Corporate, especially a retired player. Only The NFL has the power to sign liscening deals and most likely will not consult players for their opinions IMO. They would first look at The MLB line and it's productivity.
JMO.
LONG n' STRONG ON THE ETIM TRAIN!! Choo Choo!!
