If you have never been in the hospital thinking your child may not survive, trust me, it is the worst and most terrifying fear their is.  It paralyzes you in a cloud of surreal vulnerability and helplessness.  It can only made worse by the heartbreak and devastation that coincides with losing a child, and I hear that rips your heart out of your body forever. 

To any of you who have experienced either, I know a bit about that pain and it returns whenever you share the experience with someone else.  Man I hope this is a happy ending.  When he writes "Day 8,"  trust me, he means much longer than a bit over a week. 

Man I thought I was tough, walking though the Duke Kids care center....broke my cold heart....Im getting teary now thinking about it.

When I had cancer and went to Duke for treatments, the first time I felt a bit sorry for myself.  Walking in, you see the cars in the parking lot with pink overlapped ribbon magnets on the back--not one of them--all of them.  Inside, the first kid you see is bald, smiling, holding a balloon, and acting happy to be alive.  Then there is another one, and another.  You leave feeling lucky, although your heart is heavy, not for yourself--never again did I feel any self-pity.

You hit on two things that stuck with me. The volume of children, I seen 50+ and it 100% wrecked me. You like I never felt sorry for myself, plus I prided myself on not complaining at all. Anyone that sees all those brave strong kids and remains constantly woe is me about some 1st world problems, just are not humans. Do me a favor and keep staying cancer free.

You too bro, but it may be back.  I am getting checked next week.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Hard to interpret some of Brugler's opinions. Capable of running a robust route tree sounds like a lazy thing to say - I'm sure just about every slot TE is capable of running a full route tree... I want to know if he is currently able to (which from tape leads me to a no). Granted, it's pretty common for most receivers/TE not having a full route tree developed before they get drafted. Agility/acceleration after the catch hasn't shown up on his tape (at least his Oregon tape) for those dig/out breaking routes while it has for the seam and slant routes. Agree he has a good physical build and he is very good running seam routes. His build definitely helps him to shield defenders and create a large target point for the QB. Drops were a concern, but it could be focus drops just like T-Mac was/is prone to. Run blocking is an accurate statement, but again, we have only seen him run block in the slot/backfield - inline blocking is a whole different animal. With his athleticism, he definitely has a high ceiling. I just think he also has a low floor and don't like taking that big of a risk on a mid 1st rounder. I think this is a deep TE draft and would much rather target one in the 3rd or later. He's very boom or bust to me - bust in terms of being worth a 1st round pick, not an out of the NFL in a few years type bust. I feel like he gives me Evan Engram vibes. Not saying that Evan Engram was/is a bad NFL player, just that most people would agree he shouldn't have been drafted in the 1st.

      I mean I would love 6-1. It’s funny the hurricanes usually dominate the first game and win by three or four goals. But keep the second game close. It would be nice if it’s the reverse of that tonight.

      Brugler has him as TE1 and going to the Ravens in the first.  Apparently Sadiq's football IQ is pretty high (interviewed very well).  Also he was an WR and CB in high school.  This is why I always thought his route running was solid.  I'm sure it needs some polishing but for a TE it's pretty good. nfl.com Built like a bodyguard with a compact, well-defined frame. Capable of running a robust route tree. Gets in and out of breaks with good snap and separation. Vandalizes defensive seams with impunity against man coverage. Survives collisions with catches thanks to his hand strength. Shows off agility and acceleration after the catch. Fits up run blocks with proper positioning and base width. Grips and presses forward with moving feet to stay connected. -Again I don't know if we should take him but if he goes to the right team he could become a scary weapon at the next level.  I just like him as a prospect.
