Good try on the backpedaling.

Ravenator… You might not “care”…. I would venture to say that you probably don’t know anyone who has fought thru cancer. It’s something you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy! Stories like this give everyone hope! Whether you have had, or know of someone who has dealt with cancer, this is an inspiration to all. It gives everyone hope! Even AIDS isn’t anywhere near as bad as cancer is. And i wouldn’t wish either of them on anyone. But cancer has killed so many people. Even young! It’s so sad to see young children passing away from it. Not even having a chance to experience life. To have a chance to be something. To see how it feels to score a touchdown, or score the game winning hoop. They never get that. But this story will inspire them to fight, to work hard, and believe they have a chance to one day do that.

Its no surprising they are both playing in the superbowl.

Leave it to “media day” to manufacture stories I “should” care about.

Wow.

You are just a terrible person. I mean really horrible.

Thank God the internet is anonymous, lest your parents have to feel the shame of having birthed you.

Every snap, every down, every tackle contributes to the outcome of the game, the season, and the progression to the Super Bowl. Herzlich may not have had great stats, but maybe working out next to him and seeing how he had to drive himself to come back to the game helped Jason Pierre-Paul push himself to an All Pro season. I’m a three-time cancer survivor, and can appreciate his determination to keep his dream alive. His story encouraged me. If it didn’t encourage you, then just skip to the next article. No one’s trying to make you care about anything.

That said, anyone who thinks it’s funny to make a joke of this and give someone a “thumbs down” on their comments to be a clown needs to realize that there are many families out there that don’t think cancer is a joke.

Good luck to both of these young men on Sunday. They’re both champions in my book.

ravenator , have you ever had a meaningful snap or for that matter, had anything to do with sports..getting cut as a cheerleader doesn’t count..you don’t know what a hard is

@ Jakek2: Well, no offense meant here, but Pats fans probably won’t root for the Giants simply because…the Pats are facing the Giants in the Super Bowl.

That having been said, I bear them no ill-will or anything, and certainly have great respect for anyone with as much attention as they (professional athletes/public figures) get, who can actually maintain a decent enough lifestyle to be considered role models.

Also, I agree with the above poster about Marcus Cannon. Someone needs to get his story out. I heard a little about him and would like to know more.

He has dealt with cancer since Indy last year when he was diagnosed at the Combine and now he’s back in Indy for the Super Bowl. It’s been a crazy year for the rookie who many said was worthy of a 1st round pick before he was diagnosed his cancer.

His treatment ended in late summer and he’s played just as much as Mr. Herzlich, whom has an inspirational story of his own.

Just show some love for Mr. Cannon too please national media. These two guys are fantastic role models.
