Sheesh. I come back from vacation and have to put my car in the shop because the power steering decided to crap out 4 hours away from home and it's going to cost me an arm and a leg to get repaired. I finally log on the message boards and this is the first thing I see?
Brad, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Anyone able to reach out to the Bengals to see if they're aware and able to do ANYTHINIG for one of their biggest fans?

Yes. I have written both Zac and Mike Brown. Since 2 days passed and I didn't get a response, I sent to the webmaster@bengals.nfl.net hoping they could help. If I don't hear anything back, I will try to reach WCPO.

Fox19 is the TV partner for the Bengals. You might try Joe Danneman, their lead sports anchor. And Elizabeth Blackburn may respond faster than Zac or Mike Brown
It's next season and I'm hopeful

Headin to wings and rings now to pick up my food.
If you’re close to there, hit em up. They’re donating some proceeds for Brad.

You guys are great helping Brad and trying to get the word out to the team and players. One thing the Bengals Board could do right now to lift Brad's spirits is to put him in the Hall of Fame here on the board. I don't think it's time for new members but maybe an exception can be made? Brad sure is a Hall of Famer when it comes to the game of life, he keeps beating the odds when everything's stacked against him.

Well damn. I opened up my email this morning only to receive this from the Bengals webmaster: " Thank you for contacting the Bengals. Our coaches and players are currently enjoying their time off before training camp, and will not be back to the stadium until the end of July."
Hopefully, Joe Danneman will be able to do something.

As I continued to open email this morning. Joe wrote me back: "Hi Mike – Thanks for passing along. I am sending to the Bengals public relations director in hopes she can help."

TY Harley for doing this and keeping us updated. Brad needs all of our love to help him get through. Prayers as well. If you have not done, it please add him to your prayer lists and also if you belong to a church ask for their prayers for Brad and family as well. I believe in the power of prayer.

I think, right now, it was a one night thing "dine and donate" that they did yesterday.
