We have some absolute douchebags on this site. Most deserve to be permanently banned, sad little people.

No matter what I post I usually get 1 downvote every time. Someone is hovering there ready to DV anything. Or, it could be fat fingers on their phone.

my fiance (no pics) and i were talking about this last night. She's a doctor in emergency med and sees complicated issues all the time obviously. She's under the impression that only the people that have the best character and strongest willpower are diagnosed with these issues. Thank you for sharing flatland and I'm glad you made it through that adversity. Prayers to Greg and his family. Im willing to bet he will see the field again this season.

Let’s hope it was an accidental downvote.
I’m also a cancer survivor. Frightening time for him and his family, no doubt.

Yep. And some go even further by making some sort of smart-arse comment trying to be some sort of morbid comedian making light of other's plight.

Anonymity makes it easy to be an idiot.

Probably fatfingered and don’t know how to reverse it.

It’s their default. It’s all they know. Don’t even know what they’re doing anymore. Just going thru the down vote motion then reading the post.

These things hit hard when they remind us of personal struggles and tragedies. Without going into details, I have also been touched by this via a family member. It can be a long tortuous journey.

I know maybe hard to accomplish but if I were you I would try reaching out to his family, through Facebook or some other way. Sure they are getting tons of support but some words and encouragement from someone who has been through the same thing would likely comfort and help them and they may even have questions you could answer.

Maybe, hopefully, someone just accidentally hit downvote.

Breaks my heart as well.
Thinking of his family and the uncertain road that they face. Football obviously irrelevant in this time.
Stay strong, Brooks family!

My 10 yr old great-niece has had a brain tumor since she was 17 months old. It couldn't be in a worse place where they have removed as much as they can without doing other damage.

Its a journey. Hopefully even if the initial news isn't what ever one wants to hear his path and treatment the doctors put in place make this where it is a bump in the road.

Football is a game. Life is a gift and it can be very difficult sometimes. Prayer is powerful and I am most definitely keeping Greg and the rest of the Brooks family in my prayers!!
