This story hits home for me. One month ago tomorrow I received the news that I had testicular cancer. Two hours ago I received the call that all of my tests following my surgery were negative. So I’ll be on the close watch list but things are looking good.

I’m sure Podlesh will agree with me:
Guys, don’t be “tough”. If something doesn’t seem right, go to your doctor. I’m lucky mine was caught early.

That’s great to hear. Cancer is a serious issue and it’s always great to hear about someone beating it (for the time being).
Does this mean that someone will finally remove that thing on Drew Brees’ face?

I am automatically a fan of anyone who makes it back from cancer.

That’s why I’ll fight anyone who accuses Lance Armstrong of cheating, although deep down I wonder about it myself.

So even though I don’t think I’ve ever “rooted” for a punter before, I am now.

I would draft him on my fantasy team even though punters don’t get points. He can be my team mascot.

Go Adam!
