It is great to see him, but it's so tough to see him like that after seeing the punt block over and over

I can't imagine how horrible it is to live your entire life as, not only, an abled bodied person but to be an elite athlete only to be stricken with something like ALS, out of nowhere.

I can sympathize with how much having a handicap sucks but at least I have never known anything different. I feel so bad for Steve although I love seeing him continue to live his life.

It's tough but he's also an inspiration. He has never given up and we should all follow his example and live life to the fullest each and every day.

Last year at Jazz Fest he was strolling along in his Wheelchair in a t-shirt and shorts and happy to take a photo with anyone who asked. I love this guy.

Seemed like even Rich Eisen was getting a little choked up talking about him and the blocked punt.

Eventually he won't be able to make facial expressions.

I'm not even sure the eye technology will work for him in a while.

I speak from a lot of experience.

One of my old friend's dad was one of the most outgoing and athletic guys I knew and got ALS. Watching his decline and eventually death was awful. One of the worst diseases there is IMO
