Prayers For Brad

[QueenCity]

Thanks to everyone who's making a difference here on this message board and outside of it.

I 2nd the notion that Brad should be a Hall of Famer on this board and would love for it to happen before he logs back on. 

Be a nice surprise for him.

Excellent idea.... Praying for a speedy recovery for that young man.

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."

Did you let them know that this was for THE Bengals Board?

Just saw this and immediately made a donation to go fund me. Prayers for Brad.

I've never met Brad.

I was sure my best case scenario when I was diagnosed with MS in 1992,  would be life from a wheelchair. I promised my wife the disease would never take away my spirit. I've been very lucky. My symptoms remain minimal. It's clear that Brad is someone who lives his life like we all hope we would in his scenario. I think he's exceptional, not the norm.

Times are tight for us, but this story hit me hard. I've donated $20, twice. 

Keep on providing inspiration, Brad!

This is terrible! Prayers to Brad. Stay strong, brother!!

I've been away for a bit myself and just hearing this now. Just donated to the cause and it's fantastic how much has been raised so far.

As a non-Bengals fan, I don’t frequent JN, so I didn’t see this until just now.  Even though I know I am not supposed to post here, I hope that it will be okay to add my voice to those offering prayers and support for Brad.  Get well, buddy!

Very nice of you to add your voice and support for Brad.

Any Updates? Hope Fritzy is feeling good enough to read some Bengals news

That might not be good for his overall health.

He and I have gone at it on the “Rival Talk” (Formally “Smack Talk”) forum over the years, but things like this demonstrate how insignificant football loyalties really are.  I wish him nothing but the best.

Not the Brad man.

Man. I do not get on often anymore. But this sucks. Prayers sent. Much love Brad

Once I saw him on TBB I stopped posting updates because I thought it would be weird. I've only seen him on once. But I see him posting on FB quite often. He is currently at Encompass Health, a rehabilitation center in NKY. His last post was as follows on FB: "This bed is so uncomfortable and painful to sleep in.



I’d give anything to be lying by the pool and working on my tan, or even just lying on my couch, drinking Diet Sunkist, and watching sports’ shows to get ready for Bengals’ season……."





That's our Brad for ya.

You and Brad are enemies, and I’m posting supportive comments about him.  The world has turned upside down!

Would it make you feel better for me to say **** the Steelers? Because, you know, **** the Steelers.

This post would make Brad proud.
