Cheap Air Max Shop . -- Ryan Gropp scored in overtime as the Seattle Thunderbirds shut out the Spokane Chiefs 1-0 in Western Hockey League play Tuesday.KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Hall of Famers Albert Lewis and Art Still are among nine former Kansas City Chiefs players who have joined a lawsuit that contends the team hid the risks of permanent brain injuries from repeated concussions. The concussions happened between late 1987 and early 1993 when there was no NFL collective bargaining agreement in place. Five former players filed the initial suit against the Chiefs this month, saying the team ignored decades of scientific research indicating repeated head trauma causes permanent brain damage. In the amended suit filed Saturday in Jackson County Circuit Court, the plaintiffs said Arrowhead Stadiums artificial surface contributed to the head injuries. Also joining the lawsuit were Dino Hackett, Todd McNair, Fred Jones, Tim Barnett, Walker Lee Ashley, Emile Harry and Chris Smith, along with the wives of several of them. Ken McClain, a lawyer whose firm is representing the plaintiffs, said at least 10 more former Chiefs could join the suit by before the end of the year. "Certainly, Hall of Famers who contributed greatly to building the franchise add to the urgency for the team to find a just resolution, rather than try to ignore it or act like they had nothing to do with it," McClain said. Chiefs spokesman Ted Crews said the team had no comment. In recent years, a string of former NFL players and other athletes who suffered concussions have been diagnosed after their deaths with chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, including Junior Seau and Ray Easterling, both of whom committed suicide. In August, the NFL reached a tentative $765 million deal to settle lawsuits filed by more than 4,500 former players who developed dementia or other concussion-related health problems they say were caused by football. The settlement, subject to approval by a federal judge in PPhiladelphia, would apply to all past NFL players and spouses of those who are deceased.dddddddddddd McClain called the national settlement — which does not include an admission from the NFL that it hid information from players about head injuries — insignificant and said it provides compensation only to the former players with the most severe brain injuries. Rather than protecting players who sustained concussions, the lawsuit said, the Chiefs increased their risks by giving them "ammonia inhalants, caffeine cocktails and/or Toradol to abbreviate the need for concussed employees to miss working time due to a brain injury." Toradol is an injectable, anti-inflammatory drug used short term to treat moderate to severe pain. Players were even more prone to head injuries because of the concrete-like AstroTurf surface that was in place until 1994, the lawsuit said. That surface made the players faster and was cheaper than maintaining a grass field, the plaintiffs said. Because of the heightened violence of high-speed hits, the suit says, the game became more attractive to fans and increased the teams revenue. Missouri presented a "unique opportunity" to file the lawsuit because a state workers compensation statute was amended in 2005 to exclude cases of occupational injury that occur over an extended time. That exception more commonly applies in workplaces where smoking is allowed and workers suffer lung problems because of it. McClain also represented workers at a Jasper popcorn plant who were awarded millions of dollars in lawsuits. They contended they got cancer because of a chemical in butter flavouring used at the plant. Former Chiefs players Leonard Griffin, Chris Martin, Joe Phillips, Alexander Louis Cooper and Kevin Porter were the initial plaintiffs in the suit.

No fear.Thats the motto for the visiting teams in this weekends NFL playoff games, a brave stance indeed considering the hosts were a combined 30-2 at home this season. And that includes one gimme, the Patriots loss to Buffalo in a meaningless season finale.There could be some validity, though, to the bravado displayed by Baltimore and Dallas. The Ravens have won two of their three post-season trips to New England, and lost by three points in the other. The Cowboys are 8-0 away from Dallas.Our guys have been in tough stadiums against good teams, said Ravens coach John Harbaugh, who has guided his team to the playoffs in six of his seven seasons, and won the 2012 NFL championship.No different this week going into a tough stadium against a good team. The fact that its playoffs and those kinds of things, and we played in a playoff game last week on the road, that helps the guys ... the rookies. Its the first time they have ever done it, but they did a good job last week.All that other stuff, its how well you play the game in that three-hour time block against the opponent youre playing against.The opponent for Dallas is, of course, Green Bay. And the elements in the Cowboys first post-season visit to Lambeau Field since the 1967 Ice Bowl.Cowboys coach Jason Garrett recognizes the interest in Sundays matchup for historical reasons, but understands his players might not.Oh I think we have guys who are football fans and know some history, Garrett said. But having said that, weve got a lot of guys that were born in 1991 or 1992. So its like ancient history to them. The 90s seem like history to them if that makes any sense to you.The other visitors are Carolina at Seattle on Saturday night, Indianapolis at Denver on Sunday.Baltimore (11-6) at New England (12-4), SaturdayThe Ravens come off their first playoff win at Pittsburgh, so they will carry some extra confidence into the opening game of the divisional round. Joe Flacco has seven road playoff wins, the most by a quarterback since the 1970 merger.Of course, he goes up against the top seed in the AFC, a perennial Super Bowl contender led by Tom Brady. One thing is certain: Brady and the Patriots wont be lacking in conviction, either.Were always trying to win the last game of the year, Brady said. We set pretty high expectations and I think we all have high expectations, but youve got to go out there and earn it. Its not easy and this is a first step for us.A lot of teams played last week, we didnt get a chance to do that. This is a week where we can really try to make an impact on this season.Dallas (13-4) at Green Bay (12-4)Despite the result of the Ice Bowl, after which the Packers went on to win the Super Bowl, Dallas leads 4-2 in playoff matchups. Its the first time a team with an 8-0 home record in the regular season hosts one with an 8-0 road record.The Cowboys are 15-9 in divisional playoff games, but lost their past three. They bring a high-powered offence paced by league rushing leader DeMarco Murray, QB Tony Romo, receiver Dez Bryant and tight end Jason Witten.Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has been battling a calf injury and has had limited preparation for Sunday. Rodgers home passer rating of 133.2 is the best in NFL history. Hes had 418 pass attempts and 36 touchdown passes at Lambeau without an interception, both NFL records.Carolina (8-8-1) at Seattle (12-4), Saturday nightThe defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks know all about division winners with a losing record advancing to this round of the playoffs. They did it in 2010, and now they host the Panthers, who have won five in a row, including last weeks wild-card victory over Arizona.Defence has been the calling card for both sides, especially Seattle in the second portion of the schedule.Looking to become the first defending champion to win a playoff game since New England in January 2006, the Seahawks led the NFL in total defence and points allowed for the second straight season. They also led in scoring defence for a third straight season and Seattle did not allow any fourth-quarter points in the past six games.The Panthers have been strong defensively, too, ranking second to Seattle in points allowed (11. and yards yielded (238.2) since Dec. 1.Indianapolis (12-5) at Denver (12-4)Andrew Luck vs. Peyton Manning gets the main headlines here, and why not?
