Sorry if this has been posted ... I didn't see it.

Steve Reed of the Gaston Gazette is a hero, and I’m being completely serious when I say that. Last Thursday, I called Steve to see if he could call in to the show to update us on some Carolina Panthers news. I was just going to have to discuss the franchise tag and whether or not there’s any legs to the Steve Smith-to-the-Patriots rumors being true. He didn’t answer, so I left him a voicemail and also sent him a text.

A few moments before my show was about to start, a groggy Steve called me back and said he couldn’t do it. He sounded as if he’d just woken up, and I asked him as much. He said no and that he was in a hospital in Rochester, NY.

He’s from that part of the country, so him being there wasn’t a surprise. However, him being in a hospital was. I asked if everything was alright and what had happened and he had informed me that he had just donated a kidney a day or two before and that he was still recovering.

I was completely in shock. I asked if it was a family member and he said, “No.”

It turns out he donated a kidney to (no stay with me here) the wife of his wife’s cousin.

Unreal.

So, I just ask that you guys keep Steve in your thoughts and prayers, as well as the person he donated the kidney to.

It truly is an amazing story and one of the more unselfish things I’ve ever heard of and I think you guys should tell him as such, too.

His email is [email protected].

reports from the World Heath Organization. In India, a kidney fetches around $20,000. In China, buyers will pay $40,000 or more. A good, healthy kidney from Israel goes for $160,000.

Most shocking thing read in this thread? They pay more for a kidney in Israel.

I kid, I kid.
