Marshall 98 Posted March 20, 2017 Damn it. Why does it seem like the good guys (Steve Gleason, et. al) are disproportionately attacked by Lou Gehrig's disease? I suppose that we simply don't hear about those non-iconic sufferers who lack good PR and a solid support system - but at any rate, it totally sucks. In this instance, what doesn't suck is Eddie D's unwavering support. (check out the URL ) http://debartoloholdings.com/dwightclark.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BunnysBastatrds 1,886 Posted March 20, 2017 Agreed. Gleason made one of the most iconic plays in Saints history. New Orleans history. He's a trooper. All of those that were diagnosed need and deserve the same. The ice bucket challenge has been forgotten. Sad. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
