ESPN - As Philadelphia Eagles doctors were giving newly acquired running back Jerome Harrison his physical, they discovered a brain tumor that nullified a trade with the Detroit Lions, according to two league sources.
The
trade might have might have actually saved Harrison's life, the sources
said. Without the deal being made, Harrison would not have undergone a
physical. The tumor is now being treated, according to sources.
Wow, what a way to be welcomed to Philadelphia. The good news is the long-term prognosis both for life and his football career appear to be good for Harrison. This is crazy stuff to find out this way. Not many players get traded during the season so this is some sort of fate.
P.S. Is it bad that I was still pissed when I found out we wouldn't be getting Ronnie Brown on the Lions?
