. >>> from new york, i'm chris hayes with mike pesca, neurologist dr. teena, ta-nehisi, mrs.r. mary ann, in the later years of your husband's life, what are his feelings about his football career were? one of the arguments that gets made is, look, these are grown adults who are taking on risks and making money and they know what they're getting into. i wondered at the end of his life, as he looked back on his career, how he felt about the bargain he struck with the game of football. >> ray felt used. he felt like the current culture in the billions that the nfl was making was built on the players in the '60s and '70s. he would not have done it again if he had a choice. and i would say i believe our culture will be judged by the way we treat the infirmed and these guys who are dealing with dementia and als and alzheimer's due to the concussions. and i believe the nfl will be judged. the nfl pa will be judged by how they help them. and that's what our lawsuit is about. >> do you think fans should be part of that judgment? ultimately it seems to me one of the questions here for

mike. >> dr. washington, i was speaking with someone who knows a lot about the middle east. syria, of course, is on the front page. president morsi in egypt, of course, we agreed what's going on in egypt in an ongoing situation. but this person's feeling was that we have an increasingly unstable iraq and that the fear is that by the middle of the summer, the end of the summer, the entire middle east could be in just a stage of conflagration. it could just erupt, the entire middle east. what are your thoughts? >> well, i think the point -- the general point is well taken. it's a region to which if you set a match, it will explode. it could explode in a variety of ways and for a variety of causes. the syrian conflict, obviously, is creating enormous tensions and the possibility of an eruption. a war with iran would set the region entirely ablaze. the intefadeh in palestinian and israel would be similarly, i think, destabilizing. yes, this is a region which is ready to explode. and this means that we

according to a report, mike shanahan reviewed the game tape and believes the injury took place on this play in the fourth quarter and that is the play before on that snap. dr. ben schaeffer lends his insight to the recovery times. >> and the significant injury when you have to revise an acl and it's probably longer than a primary one and you add to that and that is adding further to it and my prediction, this is a 9-month recovery time table. having said, that that is clear in the nfl that athletes, and it's true in other leagues, get better and better as they accumulate more experience on the field and he's going to be best in the second season after returning and i would expect him to return based on what i have heard from next season. >> and he's not alone. dr. and ruse, the redskins and griffin himself have released statements saying they believe he will be back on the field in time and griffin is staying in florida for a while to be monitored and begin rehabilitation. brian? >> and thanks. >> reporter: we're hearing from the national cathedral. the church will now begin performing same-sex marriages. the cathedral is among the first episcopal churches
