good, this should be a very interesting game.

i think if Broncos get pounded again like they did against the Ravens, a lot of people will jump off the saddle

Live large, I think if the disease is chronic you only live to 50

As do I...

Sickle cell anemia is a genetic condition that shortens life expectancy, but it is one that requires both of the copies of the gene to be of the sickle variety. Sickle trait is a condition where only one of the copies is of the sickle variety and the other is normal. Under normal conditions, there are no negative consequences. However, at low oxygen levels, i.e. altitude, sickling can occur.

Ryan Clark lost both his spleen and his gall bladder last time he faced the Broncs in Denver. It hasn't been announced yet if he will play this week.

keep him home, the game isn't worth dying for. Meaning Ryan clark

I thought sickle cell anemia was a disease from the 60's and 70's because haven't heard much of it much since then. Thought they had a cure for it.

Agree. Id rather see my steelers lose then lose a player. ****, Id rather have my team lose then have a player from a nother team die. But if Holmes is ok, hopefully he can go if it doesnt give him promblems.

That is not true he can have normal life span according to New England Journal of medicine.

I would agree no reason for Ryan Clark to take the risk of having more issues. Especially since it is only one game during the season.

I too am a huge Broncos fan, but issues like this go beyond games. I just wish him well and perhaps the the bright side is a new light can be shed on this disease that obviously, from this thread, has been all but forgotten. Never say never and hopefully someday we will be able to manipulate these cells out of existence.

Forget dying, it's not worth losing him for the rest of the season.

That's sarcasm, by the way.

He went to Mile High with the team, but they didn't let him play. I'm glad. I know he's competitive and he wouldn't have sat out on his own.

Unless it's a Raven.
