VILLANOVA, Pa. Dexter Williams Super Bowl Jersey . -- The court fight over NFL concussions should heat up soon as a judge in Philadelphia weighs the fairness of the proposed $765 million settlement. Lead players lawyer Sol Weiss expects the courts financial expert to advise the judge "shortly" on his view of the class-action plan. Senior U.S. District Judge Anita Brody has voiced concerns that the fund wont cover 20,000 retirees for 65 years. And critics believe the NFL is getting off lightly, given its $9 billion in annual revenues. "When you look at it objectively, it didnt matter how much money the NFL had, it was, Is there enough money to take care of (people)?" Weiss said Friday at a seminar at the Villanova University School of Law outside Philadelphia. The proposed settlement would pay as much as $5 million for men with the most serious neurological injuries, such as Lou Gehrigs disease. The awards would depend on a retirees age and diagnosis. Those with serious dementia would get $3 million, while an 80-year-old with early dementia would get $25,000. All plaintiffs would get cognitive testing, and follow-up care if needed. "Even if only 10 per cent of retired NFL football players eventually receive a qualifying diagnosis ... it is difficult to see how the monetary award fund would have the funds available over its lifespan to pay all claimants at these significant award levels," Brody wrote in January, when she asked for more actuarial details and appointed New York financier Perry Golkin to advise her. Weiss remains confident the fund is sufficient, and that most players will sign on rather than spend years fighting the NFL in court. The surprise settlement emerged in August, after several months of closed-door meetings with a mediator. "There were a lot of talks; they went on for a long period of time ... and the NFLs tough," Weiss said Friday. "We did get to a point where there was enough money on the table to take care of the sick players and their families, and thats the time we make the deal." Brody was expected to hold a fairness hearing in the coming months, when objectors can challenge the plan, and decide whether to opt out. "Those players and their lawyers who think its not enough money will get an opportunity to be heard," Weiss said Friday. Brody could approve the settlement, reject it, or perhaps suggest the two sides negotiate anew. However, the plaintiffs lawyers consider time of the essence, especially for families dealing with the dementia, depression and even violence associated with traumatic brain injuries. "These are profoundly injured people. Some of them are dead, and their families deserve compensation," said Weiss, whose lead plaintiff, former Atlanta Falcon safety Ray Easterling, committed suicide in 2012, a year after filing suit. "They forget things. They have a lot of anger issues. They cant hold a job. They really cant have a meaningful relations," Weiss said. "Their lives are upside down."

The Patriots, who had a bye in Week 10, will look to continue the offensive success they had a week earlier when New England scored 55 points and racked up 610 yards of total offense in a 55-31 drubbing of the Pittsburgh Steelers.WINNIPEG - Backstopping the Minnesota Wild to a 3-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday left a good taste in Darcy Kuempers mouth.And thats not something the netminder had been feeling on the weekend, when food poisoning caused him to miss playing in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets on Saturday.Kuemper made 28 saves as the Wild (17-13-4) snapped a five-game winless streak. Weve had quite a bit of bad luck with illness and injuries, Kuemper said. Were hanging in there.Its been a tough road. Were trending in the right direction. It was nice to get rewarded tonight. We really picked up our game in the second half and it showed with a big win.Marco Scandellas goal with 12 seconds left in the second period held up as the game-winner.It was the third of three straight goals Minnesota scored in the second period to erase Winnipegs 2-0 lead. Ryan Carter and Justin Fontaine had the other goals for Minnesota and Brett Sutter and Kyle Brodziak assisted on both.It was Winnipegs first loss in regulation in its past six games (4-1-1).Michael Frolik and Mathieu Perreault both scored on the power play for the Jets (19-11-7).Scandellas blast from the point may have hit a Jets skate on the way past goalie Michael Hutchinson.Thats how Hutchinson, who made 28 saves, saw the puck change direction.It was going wide and then all of a sudden their guy was driving wide to the net with our guy tied up, Hutchinson said. Im not sure if it hit our guy or their guy, but it hit his skate and went right in the net.Hutchinson made his third straight start after Jets head coach Paul Maurice had Hutchinson and Ondrej Pavelec rotate for 12 games.The rookie netminder said he wasnt thinking about whod get the start in net when Winnipeg hosts the New York Islanders on Wednesday afternoon.The only thing that matters is us winning on New Years Eve, Hutchinson said. You cant lose back-to-back games in this league, especially at home. Im sure well be ready to go for that game.Winnipeg didnt get its first shot on goal until seven and half minutes into the game. The Wild had seven at that point.Frolik scored his eighth goal of the season, unassisted, at 16:00 with a shot that went off Kuemper and into a top corner.We feel comfortable to play with the lead, but after the second period we said we are one goal short. We want to feel comfortable in those situations, too, so we just want to go there and have a push.We got a couple chances thhere, but (the puck) didnt go in. Oren Burks Super Bowl Jersey. We just have to kind of learn from it and forget this one and go for the next one.The Wild had a two-man advantage for 1:54 late in the period, but couldnt capitalize. They outshot the Jets 14-8.The Jets carried their third power play of the game into the second and Perreault scored his ninth of the season at the 20-second mark to make it 2-0.Blake Wheeler sent a quick pass across the front of the net and Perreault shot the puck over Kuempers left pad. Bryan Little also assisted on the goal, extending his point streak to four games with two goals and three assists.Carter made it 2-1 with a close, high shot over Hutchinson at 4:12, while Fontaine evened the score at 16:31 when he went to the net on a breakaway and got a nice pass from Sutter.Im real happy with how we played the game and the contributions from everybody at both ends of the rink, Wild head coach Mike Yeo said.I think we did a lot of really good things. Theres a small margin between winning and losing. Its one save at a crucial moment, one goal at a crucial time. We were able to bust through.Wild defenceman Ryan Suter slashed the back of Perreaults right knee early in the third period, sending Perreault to the ice in pain. He limped to the bench, but soon returned to the ice. No penalty was called.Kuemper made a couple of big saves late in the game to preserve the win.Thats what we need from him, Yeo said. If we get that kind of goaltending on a consistent basis, were going to be a dangerous team.We know thats what hes capable of. Were trying to rush a young player along a little bit here, but thats the reality of where hes at. Hes good enough to be a starter. Minnesota goalie Niklas Backstrom is out with a stomach virus.The Wild travel to play Columbus on Wednesday.Notes - Winnipeg forward Evander Kane is out until February with a lower-body injury. Kane took a shot by teammate Jay Harrison to his foot area during last Saturdays 4-3 overtime win over Minnesota … Winnipeg recalled forward Patrice Cormier from the AHLs St. Johns IceCaps … The Jets are still without injured top-four defencemen Toby Enstrom, Zach Bogosian, Jacob Trouba and Mark Stuart … Minnesota centre Mikael Granlund broke his left wrist in last Saturdays loss to Winnipeg and is out about one month … Wild defenceman Jonas Brodin didnt travel to Winnipeg after suffering an upper-body injury in the same game.
