As Philadelphia Eagles doctors were giving newly acquired running back Jerome Harrison his physical, they discovered a brain tumor that nullified a trade with the Detroit Lions, according to two league sources. The trade might have actually saved Harrison's life, the sources said. Without the deal being made, Harrison would not have undergone a physical. The tumor is now being treated, according to sources. Harrison is not expected to play again this season, but his long-term prognosis both for life and his football career appear to be good, sources said. Source: ESPN
My deepest sympathies go out to Harrison and his family............... They say the best trades are the ones that you don't make or at least in this case..........doesn't transpire. It saved his life.
Holy CRAP! It makes you wonder why the NFL doesn't conduct mid season checks and such just to check on a player and make sure that they're okay physically. But man oh man. I do have to chuckle that it says "Out for the season." I'd think that out for probably forever seems more likely. Sucks for the kid. i REALLY liked him and was incredibly bummed out that he wasn't going to be an Eagle again but thank god he was traded. Freaking A.
wow, the eagles are social activists & now life savers. if they could only win a freaking super bowl. :banghead:
Thomas Tapeh was at my niece's school earlier this week to talk about bullying. He let her try on his losing Super Bowl ring. :icon_lol:
