2 Investigators: Bears Targeted For Subpoena In Brain-Injury Suit Against NFL

September 28, 2012 10:10 PM " CHICAGO (CBS) — One of the greatest teams of all time, the 1985 Chicago Bears, could hold the key to one of the biggest problems facing the National Football League and former NFL players today.

Two major figures on that team suffered concussions while playing and then went on to suffer brain diseases. That is why lawyers suing the NFL seek to subpoena records from the Chicago Bears.

2 Investigator Dave Savini reports.

Emery Moorehead was one of the Chicago Bears who helped win the 1985 Super Bowl. He says other teams feared the Bears’ vicious hits. They knocked players out cold in a league that allegedly marketed viscous hits to boost profits.

“It’s all being exposed now,” says Moorehead, who suffered his own tough hits. ”I’ve been knocked dizzy before.”

He is one of nearly 3,000 former NFL players suing the league, alleging a cover-up involving concussions and brain injuries.

“They knew about it, and we continued to play with what they call concussions today,” Moorehead says.

What Chicago Bears team officials knew may soon become part of the NFL lawsuit, says Chris Seeger, a lead attorney on the NFL case.

“We are going to subpoena records from the Bears — there is no question about that,” he says. “We’re going to hope that the Chicago Bears would want to talk with us and that there’s nothing to hide.” "
