Terrible man, absolutely terrible. Had to stop reading at he couldn't hold his 7 year old daughter anymore for her birthday.

I had a hard time watching it from the beginning seeing what it does to people. It's only been a year and he's already trapped in his own body. He goes from being one of the fastest players in NFL history to not being able to move or speak. That's horrifying.

Not to mention his family watching him go through this.

That's awful.

 

[Football2007]

Yeah that was rough to watch. This guy was a phenomenal NFL RB.

Damn, man. Damn....

No words can describe how awful ALS is.
