Athletes diagnosed with Lymphoma:

Mario Lemieux - Diagnosed in 1993 at the height of his prime. Returned to the NHL in 1995, continued to win scoring titles till retiring in 1997. He returned to play from 2000 till 2006, still at a high level of excellence.

Saku Koivu - Another NHL player, Koivu was diagnosed in 2001 after 5 years in the league. He missed most of that season but returned to lead his team into the playoffs. Koivu just retired last year.

Andres Galarraga - After several years in baseball, he was diagnosed in 1999. He made his return in 2000, making the All Star game that year, before retiring in 2004.

Jon Lester - Current pitcher for the Cubs, he was diagnosed in 2006 during his rookie season. He returned to pitch in 2007, winning two World Series' with the Red Sox, and signing a huge free agent contract last winter.

Dave Quessenberry - Houston Texans offensive tackle was diagnosed in 2014. He is going through the same recovery as Eric Berry is now.

There are lots of factors that will go into determining if he'll play again. People's bodies react differently to chemo therapy. Those are very harsh drugs that cause lots of internal changes to take place. Odds are certainly on his side, but it's no easy task.

He just needs to stay on track and we'll all do our part and keep him in our prayers.

What's for lunch today fellas?

Eric Berry deserves a standing ovation from any room/facility that he walks into. Guy is a beast on the field, by all indications a great guy off of it, loves to have fun, from a great family, the list goes on and on.

I'm with the army of well-wishers and folks who want the best for EB. I hope that he can come back to the NFL and continue playing at an elite level. It was a treat to watch him play in orange and white.

If I remember correctly EB could have set new NCAA records for INT's and INT return yards with just 1 of 2 more picks and been in the record books.

Sadly the kiffScum family denied EB of those records by keeping him constantly way down near the line where he had no chance to get more picks.

All hate of that family was earned and well deserved IMO and that 1 recruiting class was a total bust and didn't fill any of our serious needs.

God bless EB and may he return to 100% health very soon!

Thanks, brother. I appreciate the insight. Never knew Lemieux had cancer back in the day.
