PHILADELPHIA - A national brain injury group has condemned the proposed payout scheme for NFL concussion claims as deeply flawed, saying it excludes many former players suffering from mood swings, depression, aggression and other related problems.The Brain Injury Association of America said the plan favours former players with memory problems and certain neuromuscular diseases but leaves out those with other symptoms that can stem from brain trauma.Many of the physical, neurological and neurobehavioural consequences of TBI (traumatic brain injury) are missing from the list of qualifying diagnoses, the association said in a court filing on Tuesday. The settlements approach ... is deeply flawed.The group asked to file an amicus brief and weigh in when a federal judge in Philadelphia reviews the settlement plan in November. Senior U.S. District Judge Anita Brody has granted preliminary approval of the plan, which would settle thousands of lawsuits filed against the league.The NFL disclosed this month that it expects nearly three in 10 former players, or 6,000 men, to develop debilitating brain conditions. The leagues experts predicted they will be stricken earlier and at least twice as often as the general population.The NFL has agreed to create a $675 million fund, and more if needed, to pay out claims for the next 65 years. Current players are not included in the litigation.Most of the money would go to former players under age 45 diagnosed with Alzheimers disease or dementia.The payouts would be sharply reduced as the ex-players age, or if they played fewer than five years in the league, based on assumptions that their injuries are less likely to stem from NFL concussions.The Brain Injury Association faults the logic of that plan, arguing that players can suffer severe concussions in their rookie years.The sole factor in determining monetary awards should be the nature and extent of the impairment, Drs. Brent E. Masel, the associations medical director, and Gregory J. OShanick, his predecessor, wrote in court papers.Lawyer Christopher Seeger, co-lead class counsel for the players, called the agreement an extraordinary settlement for retired NFL players and their families.Our focus remains on finalizing this agreement so that former NFL players can soon begin taking advantage of its benefits, he said Tuesday.His experts expect the average payouts, in todays dollars, to be $2.1 million for Lou Gehrigs disease, $1.4 million for a death involving the brain decay known as CTE and $190,000 for Alzheimers disease or moderate dementia. An award potentially reaches $5 million.Some players have signalled plans to opt out, including the family of the late San Diego star Junior Seau, who was found after his 2012 suicide, at age 43, to have had CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy.The agreement would cover all 21,000 former players, unless they opt out by next month.

MADRID, Spain -- Madrid is celebrating the success of its two major football clubs after Atletico Madrid ensured a historic Champions League final derby against crosstown rival Real Madrid. Atleticos 3-1 victory at Chelsea saw it progress to its first European Cup final in 40 years, where record champion Madrid awaits after crushing titleholder Bayern Munich 5-0 over two legs. Atletico is on the verge of an historic double as it closes in on its first Spanish league title in 18 years, while Madrid is chasing a treble after winning the Copa del Rey against Barcelona. The feat is all the more impressive for Atletico, which under coach Diego Simeone has completely turned from a club with a history for underachieving and late collapses into a European heavyweight. "Atletico is a real team," Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho said after Wednesdays defeat. "It knows how to be strong in defence and when to come out and attack. Its a great team." One year after an all-German Champions League final, the continents top competition has its first ever final between clubs from the same city. "Im happy that its an all-Spanish final," Atletico playmaker Koke said of the May 24 date in Lisbon. "Its going to be a special day, a very nice day because all of Madrid will be in Lisbon." The final will also highlight the teams different philosophies and history. Atleticos blue-collar base is far removed from Reals home in the northwest Chamartin area with its leafy avenues, luxury homes, and expensive cars. Madrid is the record 32-time Spanish champion with nine European Cups, and record revenues that are nearly five times that of Atletico allow it to pay for Ballon dOr recipient Cristiano Ronaldo and world-record 100 million euros signing Gareth Bale. Atleticos payroll is a fraction of Madrids or Barcelonas, and it is a club with a history of dubious finances. Yet Simeone, who was on the team that won the league-cup double in 1996, has nurtured a winning culture from a squad that has changed little since his arrival more than two years ago, and despite the sale of star striker Radamel Falcao in the off-season.dddddddddddd "Its crazy to think were in the Champions League final," Atletico midfielder Tiago Mendes said. "But this team deserves it after everything it has accomplished." Madrid and Atletico have met just once before in the competition, in the 1959 semifinals, where Madrid won a replay 2-1 when their two-leg series finished 2-2. Atleticos only final appearance in 1974 saw it succumb to Bayern Munich 4-0 in a replay following a 1-1 draw. While Madrid beat Atletico en route to this seasons domestic cup trophy, Atletico still enjoyed a breakthrough year against its city neighbour, which is returning to the final for the first time since 2002. Atletico beat Madrid in the Copa del Rey final last season for its first win over its city rival in 25 games. It followed that up with a league victory at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium followed by a draw at home at the Vicente Calderon. Spanish leader Atletico is six points ahead of Madrid, which has one game in hand, with three left to play, while Barcelona trails the Spanish leader by four points. The league has been dominated by Madrid and Barcelona since Valencia was the last club besides the big two to win the championship in 2004. But Atletico could clinch its first title since 1996 with a victory against Levante on Sunday if both Madrid and Barcelona lose their games. The all-Spanish final also proves the domestic league is healthy despite continued economic problems. Either Sevilla or Valencia will also advance to the Europa League final. Even the citys cleanup crews should have an easy time co-ordinating their work following the victors celebrations. Madrid traditionally celebrates its triumphs at Plaza de Cibeles, while Atleticos fans gather just down the street at Plaza de Neptuno. "This is the final all Madridistas have been waiting for," Madrid fan Jose Luis Marron Rodriguez said. "Whatever the result, the European Cup stays at home. Now, let the best team win -- I just hope its Madrid." ' ' '
