I know some hate ESPN, but this is a good guy. This is sad. This stuff is bad news.
His son played QB for Arkansas.......actually didn't play, just was on the team. He was one of those kids who could have played small college but wanted to learn at the high level. I assumed he was prepping to be a coach, but wasn't sure, because he wouldn't leave even when he clearly wasn't going to play.
Sort of like the Bears new OC.......he was the same deal, a backup QB at Arkansas who never played, but clearly was prepping to be a coach........and is obviously good at it.
Seems like over 1/2 of us are just sitting around waiting on the same diagnosis. But Chris is a good guy and I hate this for him.
