Surprise of the day: Chiefs put S Eric Berry on NFI - no -football Illness, which means he is out for the year, per source.

Hope everything works out for him.

Statement from Berry:

Quote
“I am truly thankful for all of the support from family, friends, coaches, teammates and the entire Chiefs kingdom. At first I was in shock with the diagnosis on Saturday and did not even want to miss a game, but I understand that right now I have to concentrate on a new opponent. I have great confidence in the doctors and the plan they are going to put in place for me to win this fight. I believe that I am in God’s hands and I have great peace in that. I know my coaches and teammates will hold things down here the rest of the season and until I am back running out of the tunnel at Arrowhead. I am so thankful and appreciative of being a part of this franchise and playing in front of the best fans in the NFL. I will be back!”

"Surprise of the day"? Hey, let's throw in some sarcasm in a story about a guy who's getting tested for cancer. Fuckn Schefter.

I didn't even notice that the first time. Awkward choice of words.

Schefter's tweet was probably before they announced what it was for.

Confirmed Hodgkin lymphoma. I won't pretend to know what that actually means.

It means he doesn't have non-Hodgkins.

Which is technically correct, but makes me absolutely no wiser. You must be in tech support.

Wikipedia tells me that survival rates for Hodgkin's are pretty good as long as there aren't too many complicating factors.

Hodgkins is drastically better to have than non.

There's a ton of differences which won't mean excrement to most people (because it's all scientificy excrement).

But for the sake of simplicity all you need to know is that Hodgkins is much more predictable (where in your body it's going to go next)  and non Hodgkins is more of a crap shoot.

So the outcomes, treatment and quality of life is much better with Hodgkins. Not to mention the survival rate is quite a bit better, plus non Hodgkins killed freaking spartacus

Spartacus would have been a star had he got a chance to do movies.
