What clearly matters here is how good of a football player he is.



Has he paid child support yet?

Seriously. I don't know what else they could have done. Still was probably the single worst player on the team last year, his daughter needing insurance was the only reason he stayed.

Cut him anyway but hook him up with some off-field job. Mike Brown could seize the PR opportunity of the century by covering her treatment out of his own pocket.

Win-win, and then maybe you guys would win more.

Setting aside that the guy evidently wants to be a football player, not an assistant water boy, I don't think the player at the bottom of anyone's roster is winning or losing them games

Well he should probably be better at the game of football if he wants to keep playing it. Hopefully next season his daughter won't have cancer, so he can try to stand on his own merits.

One of the reasons the Hawks just lost the Super Bowl was because of poor depth. Better backups and role players can make all the difference in the world.

You seem to be losing sight of the supposed reason he was kept on the team this year, and like Goetta said if he was some kind of dead weight they could have listed him as inactive every week

I was merely proposing an alternative way the Bengals could have handled this. Just killing time in the offseason man, don't lose sight of that.

The blood vessels in her liver are Andy Dalton...and it's playoff time

So if she lives.... it will be a liver fluke?

Stem cell treatment is pretty intense and involves taking out the stem cells first and then nuking your body so hard with extreme chemo that it can't recover without your previously harvested cells (or someone else's cells, in some cases). It is essentially as close to physically "starting over" as you can get with medicine.

I hope she is using her own stem cells because that is much easier to recover from. Using someone else's cells introduces a lot greater likelihood of long-term side effects, like your body rejecting the outside cells. Chemo (especially of this sort) has a way of loving up just about every aspect of your health you can think of and it's not great for childhood development either. Every cancer case and treatment regimen is different, though, so it's hard to say what will happen.

My brother did several rounds of chemo before and after I donated bone marrow to him. I was 6, he was 4.

20 years later I'm almost a foot taller than him. He looks like he never went through puberty and appears so androgynous he is often mistaken for a chunky, hipster lesbian. He has cataracts, gallstones, random bone spurs, dermatitis, and a thyroid condition. Also he is sterile.

Sometimes the treatment is as bad as the disease.

He should've gone with a "Was it the chemo..or your bone marrow? :tinfoil:" line instead of implying you lied about your brother.




realtalk, you did a great thing

For real, that works as a joke at least.

Had a look, one of the first things in my area I found was parents of a girl who looks to be maybe 12 or 13 wanting to treat her "Bipolar, A.D.D., Oppositional Defiance Disorder and Depression" by sending her to a wilderness program for troubled teens

I hate people so much

e: it says she's been in juvie so maybe she just looks younger than she is or that's an old picture, but even if she's a teenager go gently caress yourself parents

"Help, we hosed up our kid, give us money so we can finally finish the job" :unsmigghh:
