Arian Foster

This guy is funny. A few weeks ago he throws his college program under the bus by telling the media that he was taking money.

QUOTE "I don't know if this will throw us into an NCAA investigation -- my senior year, I was getting money on the side," Foster said in the interview. "I really didn't have any money. I had to either pay the rent or buy some food. I remember the feeling of like, 'Man, be careful.' But there's nothing wrong with it. And you're not going to convince me that there is something wrong with it."

Today in another interview about concussions this is what he has to say:

Foster said he did his own research, with the help of his stepfather, who is a geneticist, when concussions first became a hot-button issue. He is generally skeptical about the NFL's commitment to player safety, despite the league's public emphasis on the matter.

So, your stepfather is a geneticist and he can't slip you a few hundred bucks for food, etc?
