Man, I swear….. sometimes he really did feel like my son. I hope he knew I really did love him that way.

Yep...just so sad...such a good kid and only 25.

The NFL needs to do a better job of taking care of it's players, period.

As a fan it's easy to dehumanize these guys as just players...but the truth is they are human beings. This was a good reminder of that. R.I.P Rondale Moore. I am truly sad that you are no longer around

Wow, we lose humanity quite a bit in sports. I can't even imagine how AJ felt when we was writing this.

Greet stuff by AJ had to be tough for him to write and post them pics. We got to remember these players are humans, they bleed just like the rest of us. Life is tough no matter what you are doing.

The NFL doesn’t give a rats ass about the players.

They are about to move to an 18 game schedule which is totally unnecessary.

Not only that they are about to let high school refs do games because they are total idiots.

Great piece by AJ.

I still can't believe that Rondale is gone. My friend who was very close with Rondale said he couldn't get through the entire letter from AJ. The feelings for Rondale were just still so raw. So many what if questions. Breaks my heart.

Only way for the NFL to seriously care about player health is to cancel the sport. We cheer on these guys putting their bodies through car accidents every Sunday.

Yeah, but I don't think it's as simple as that...there are clear and definable ways to make the NFL safer, and that includes mental health services and transitional services to help these guys post NFL. There are billions of dollars thrown around by the league - surely they can do a better job taking care of the guys that actually make it happen.
