PHILADELPHIA -- A second petition has been filed asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reject the $1 billion settlement of NFL concussion lawsuits because of how it treats current brain injuries versus future ones.The former players who filed the petition complain that chronic traumatic encephalopathy diagnosed before the April 2015 cutoff can bring $4 million while future CTE diagnoses arent compensated. They say that violates Supreme Court rulings that insist each subgroup in a class action settlement be treated fairly.The petition, filed Monday, echoes earlier complaints that the lead players lawyers signed a quick deal with the NFL in 2013 favoring their clients over thousands of others.Lawyers on the Plaintiffs Steering Committee, who negotiated the deal, reject those arguments and say the appeals are holding up payments that ailing retirees need. The NFL declined to comment on Wednesday.The 31 petitioners include a number of men who played for the Dallas Cowboys, including 1996 Super Bowl MVP Larry Brown and Hall of Famer Charles Haley.Their lawyer, Deepak Gupta, said the Supreme Court had not reviewed a case involving the disparate treatment of class action subgroups in about 20 years. Meanwhile, he said, the federal appeals court in Philadelphia that upheld the NFL settlement has a different view of the issue than its counterpart in New York. That could pique the Supreme Courts interest.According to the petition, the family of former Chicago Bears safety Dave Duerson, who was found to have CTE after his 2011 suicide, can seek an award of up to $4 million while the family of former Oakland Raiders quarterback Ken Stabler, whose CTE was diagnosed after his July 2015 death, cannot.CTE, a degenerative disease found in people whove suffered severe hits to their heads or repeated concussions such as boxers and other athletes, currently can be diagnosed only at autopsy, although scientists hope to diagnose it in the living within the next decade.The settlement covers future cases of Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons disease, Lou Gehrigs disease and dementia but not CTE.Seeking to head off a tsunami of future claims, Gupta wrote in the petition, the NFL pushed for a global settlement of all current and future claims -- while compensating only current CTE claims.Supporters of the settlement say it compensates future cases of dementia. But the payout for dementia is expected to average $190,000, compared with $1.44 million for CTE, the petition said. Gupta and other critics also complain the plan does not compensate the depression, mood swings and memory loss they consider precursors to dementia and a CTE diagnosis.It could be months before the Supreme Court decides whether to hear the case. The earlier petition was filed by the family of former Buffalo Bills fullback Carlton Cookie Gilchrist.The Plaintiffs Steering Committee lawyers on Wednesday pointed to the 3rd U.S. Circuit decision that found the award scheme fair, reasonable and adequate.The settlement would resolve thousands of lawsuits that accuse the NFL of hiding what it knew about the risks of football concussions. The settlement, overseen by Senior U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody, is designed to cover about 21,000 retirees for 65 years. About 9,000 of them have signed up for information, the plaintiffs lawyers said. Wholesale Nike Blazer .

Romero appeared to elbow and kick Houston defender Kofi Sarkodie. Eddie Jones is set to mix up Englands starting 15 for Saturdays match against Fiji at Twickenham and plans to win the match by restricting the Islanders creativity.England have won 11 on the bounce -- 10 under Jones -- and after ending their 10-year hoodoo to beat South Africa on Saturday, are turning attention towards Fiji who lie in wait next weekend.Fiji fell to the Barbarians on Friday evening and Jones says his team must play smart against the Islanders and says they plan to bore them to death.You go to Fiji and everyone is throwing 15m torpedo passes, flicking the ball through their legs, side stepping, Jones said. If they cant do that they get bored.If they get bored they dont want to play and when they do that you get points against them. We are going to win the game and I want to win it conclusively.To win it conclusively we have to bore them to death. It doesnt mean playing bad rugby -- just being actually smart against them.Jones was pleased with Englands win over South Africa but said he expects improvement over the coming weekends with Fiji, Argentina and Australia all set to face England at Twickenham.The England coach is likely to mix up the team a little for Saturdays match against Fiji but he will not be handing debuts and caps for the sake of giving players game time. He could give Nathan Hughes his first start while Semesa Rokoduguni -- the Bath winger was left out of the squad for the Boks -- could also come into contention.Wee want to keep improving the team so there are guys that I want to have a look at who I think may be better than the guys I have in now so there may be an opportunity, Jones said.ddddddddddddIm only going to select people who are better than what we have at the moment or potentially can be better.There are a few players that have earned it and they will get it. You come in the fly by night and youre not going to start for England. I dont believe in that.Jones was delighted with Tom Woods return to the England fold and continues to be impressed by Billy Vunipolas form at No.8. And he said scrum-half Ben Youngs can develop into a player who can have the impact Fourie du Preez had during his days with the Springboks.Hes got an athletic advantage because hes a big lad for a half-back, Jones said of Youngs. He weighs 88 or 89 kilos, depending on how many lollies he has eaten! Hes got a nice turn of pace and a nice awareness of space. We want to develop that running game with him. Hes got an exceptional kicking game. The only other half-back Ive seen with a kicking game like him is Fourie du Preez.He can have the same influence for us that Fourie du Preez had on the Springboks.We want to be the sort of team who can play completely off nine, completely off 10 or completely off 12. That will make us so hard to defend against.
