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.

    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
    • I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
    • I think Ottawa and Edmonton force game 7.  Although I feel stronger about Toronto failing than I do about Edmonton getting it done again.
