I knew a guy who passed a couple of yrs ago who up to that point was the longest tp live with ALS. Like 16 yrs or so.

It always seems to get people who are very good athletes.

I wonder why that is? I knew a guy that went to school on a track scholarships that passed away from ALS. Weird correlation.....

Sad to hear.

Most ALS victims only suffer physically from the disease.

My favorite uncle, Tim, was one of the few that the disease stole his mind.. The last year if his life he was mentaly

an 8 year old, although he remembered being a much smarter man. He was often angry as you could imagine.

Such a terrible disease.

I miss my uncle Tim.

Prayers to Shaw and hus family.

Just donated today, not because anybody challenged me though

Steve Gleason's probably the most covered recent case. He had a special on the NFL network about his struggle. It's a fuging horrible disease you wouldn't wish on Hitler if he were still alive. I thought I read or watched something somewhere that said repeated concussions can trigger it, but I'm not sure. If true, it's probably the reason this has happened to a few NFL players who are still young. Lou Gehrig also apparently had at least a handful of pretty bad concussions in his career before his infamous diagnosis years ago.

      Ward 1, Hunter, maybe 2. Per McShay

      They reached for Pickett, so they are not immune to it.  I could see that as well.  I just think the Colts are flying under the radar and they have been too quiet concerning their QB situation--of course, they could think Jones is their guy (they had a good one named Jones a long time ago) but I think they are done with the Richardson experiment.   Even if I believed in Jones, I would still draft a QB--I also read one mock that said the Jets would take Sanders if he falls to 7---I disagree, but I was once wrong and it still bothers me.

      I mean, you can use that "logic," but the problem is that most practice squad players, backups or average guys don't put the play on film that Wharton did when given their opportunities.  Perhaps you'll end up right, but I don't think that just because a guy has been in a rotation makes him inherently less productive because he gets more snaps. I will say that the KC fans I've seen on social media loved him, and considered him their second best DT,  regardless of his "rotational" status, and generally considered him a dawg, so I'm going to give him the benefit of doubt until he shows otherwise.
