<p>Two-time Super Bowl champion Jim McMahon &#105;&#115; among 300 retired players &#111;&#114; spouses suing the NFL &#102;&#111;&#114; concussion-related dementia &#097;&#110;&#100; brain disease symptoms they claim were suffered &#111;&#110; the job.</p>
<p>McMahon, the ex-Chicago Bears star, &#104;&#097;&#115; &#098;&#101;&#101;&#110; outspoken &#111;&#110; the issue &#097;&#110;&#100; believes the league &#119;&#101;&#110;&#116; so &#102;&#097;&#114; &#097;&#115; to &#099;&#111;&#110;&#099;&#101;&#097;&#108; information related to concussions.</p>
<p>&#8220;We knew &#119;&#104;&#097;&#116; was &#103;&#111;&#105;&#110;&#103; &#111;&#110; with pretty much every &#111;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114; part of the body,&#8221; McMahon &#115;&#097;&#105;&#100; &#111;&#110; ESPN&#8217;s Outside the Lines, per ProFootballTalk.com. &#8220;We knew &#116;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#101; was &#103;&#111;&#105;&#110;&#103; to &#098;&#101; a chance &#102;&#111;&#114; injury. But we didn&rsquo;t &#107;&#110;&#111;&#119; &#097;&#098;&#111;&#117;&#116; the head trauma. &#097;&#110;&#100; they did, &#097;&#110;&#100; that&#8217;s the whole reason &#102;&#111;&#114; this lawsuit. &#8230; They knew &#097;&#098;&#111;&#117;&#116; it &#097;&#110;&#100; they didn&#8217;t &#116;&#101;&#108;&#108; us. That&#8217;s &#108;&#105;&#107;&#101; &#108;&#111;&#111;&#107;&#105;&#110;&#103; &#105;&#110; your face &#097;&#110;&#100; lying to &#121;&#111;&#117;. Flat-out lying.</p>
<p>&#8220;Short-term memory &#105;&#115; &#110;&#111;&#116; &#103;&#111;&#111;&#100;,&#8221; McMahon &#115;&#097;&#105;&#100;. &#8220;I won&#8217;t remember a hell of a lot &#097;&#098;&#111;&#117;&#116; this interview &#105;&#110; 10 minutes.&#8221;</p>
<p>McMahon &#105;&#115; part of &#097;&#116; least &#102;&#111;&#117;&#114; concussion-related lawsuits that &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; &#098;&#101;&#101;&#110; consolidated &#105;&#110; Philadelphia. The league &#104;&#097;&#115; vowed to vigorously defend &#105;&#116;&#115;&#101;&#108;&#102;.</p>
<p>In a separate class-action lawsuit filed &#105;&#110; February &#105;&#110; federal court &#105;&#110; &#110;&#101;&#119; Orleans, several former Saints, including John Fourcade, are among 11 ex-players named &#097;&#115; plaintiffs. The lawsuit &#115;&#097;&#121;&#115; each of them &#104;&#097;&#115; developed mental &#111;&#114; physical problems from concussions &#111;&#114; concussion-like symptoms.</p>
<p>A 2000 survey of &#109;&#111;&#114;&#101; &#116;&#104;&#097;&#110; 1,000 former NFL players found that &#109;&#111;&#114;&#101; &#116;&#104;&#097;&#110; 60 percent had suffered &#097;&#116; least one concussion, &#119;&#104;&#105;&#108;&#101; 26 percent had suffered &#116;&#104;&#114;&#101;&#101; &#111;&#114; &#109;&#111;&#114;&#101; during their careers, according to the February lawsuit.</p></p>
