my girlfriend's long-time friend from her childhood had the EXACT SAME problem. friend was having twins. left ventricle didn't develop in one of the babies. gave birth. had one heart procedure, but the baby didn't make it. hoping for a different outcome here. let's hope medical science can save the olsens.

This was shown on ESPN before the game last Sun. Has been posted but obviously not everyone has seen it and am glad it was posted again.

A very touching story. Got to really feel for the Olsens and hope the best for them and their son. They seem like an impressive couple. Makes me even more glad he is a Panther.

Also...amazing about JR. As Greg said...he has known him less than a year and never met his wife. He is a very good man. Very big gesture for them to name their son after him. All of this, just wow.

Good luck little TJ...we are all pulling for you. I hope you are a very long....life long.... Panther fan.

Unlike Lady Panther, I think it's pretty rediculous that people didn't see this 30 min before kickoff. I am glad that more people are being made ware of the situation, as the Olsens need every prayer necesary. I do wish that people would pay more attention on game days though. Just think about how hype you would have been for Olsen after scoring the First TD Sunday had u known about his family situation.

God Bless

Not everyone gets to sit down in front of the TV 30 minutes before kickoff.

I didn't see this until now, though I saw people talking about it. Thanks for posting, panthergrl!

Anyone who has children or plans on having them has to feel for the Olsen's. It is the expectant parent's biggest fear, that something will be wrong with their baby. They are brave for taking it on publicly not knowing the outcome of the surgeries rather than keeping it to themselves until they find out the outcome. It is always amazing what kind of support you receive when you put things out there and communicate to others instead of keeping it in.

it gives people like Mr Richardson the opportunity to show his support and demonstrate his caring for the Olsens.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
