FILE - In this May 13, 2008 file photo, former NFL player J.D. Hill gestures during a news conference in Chicago, where an initiative was announced that would help retired NFL players in dire need of medical care to receive care with millions of dollars in donated medical services through the Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund. A group of retired NFL players says in a lawsuit filed Tuesday, May 20, 2014, that the league, thirsty for profits, illegally supplied them with risky narcotics and other painkillers that numbed their injuries for games and led to medical complications down the road. "I was provided uppers, downers, painkillers, you name it while in the NFL," plaintiff J.D. Hill, who played for seven years in the 1970s, said in a statement. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast, File)
