It is too bad that Randy Gregory let blunts disease slow his rise

I don't know. He got pretty high.

 

[CowboysDrew]

Never missed a game because of it.

I'm just waiting for Runwildboys to bust a blood vessel. He'll see it's me and instantly and rightly dismiss it.

 

[Pass2Run]

I'm really excited about this guy.

Me too.

This is a story of a kid, 16 years old at the time, who refused to let a disease stop him, and that's what you come away with?

Whoa!!!!!

Take bran cereal twice a day.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Good story. Luck, good lad.
Lots are hoping for your quick rise to dominance!

I never heard of Blount's disease, I hope it's not serious,

Bowed legs, onset in preadolescents.
Severity ranges wildly. Tyler must have overcome it enough to play football.
The condition limits the growth plates in his bones.
I would say more but I have to lay out me clothes for the Food safety test this afternoon.
