Bump for those that didn't see it

My wife and I watched it. A very emotional segment. ALS hits very close to home in my family. My father-in-law passed away from the disease 36 years ago this month. I encourage everyone to support ALS research and support Steve in his fight. He's an inspiration to us all.

That segment was the best part of the drawn out 5 hour pregame for the super bowl. I'm glad I was able to catch it.

I wonder if Steve knows about OT. I think he'd want to meet him.

Wasn't able to watch it live because of work, but I saw it this morning via a friend's facebook posting. Wow. I mean, just wow. Steve's wife struck it home for me when she said "It's not the loss of body functions that gets me depressed, it's the fact that he's losing his speaking ability. That's what gets me so upset, that I might not be able to hear his voice anymore, or that he might not be able to talk to his son."

I'm not married, nor have a child, but I soon will have all of that since I'm engaged. But man, Idk how I could go on living if I wasnt able to say a word to my beautiful children or lovely wife anymore. Which is why I thank God everyday for what he gives me man

I wonder if that is Paul Variscoe''s daughter---looks just like him and a little like the wife Jill???-Paul for those that don't know is the singer for PV and the Milestones!!!

What a powerful story. We all like to think of ourselves as brave and selfless, but only in times of tragedy do we really find out what we are made of. Steve and his wife have definitely passed this test. Best of luck Gleason Family!

I'm going to reserve judgement until I hear this morning's playback from @790TheZone. But right now I'm enraged.

@rflem24 @andym1134 @790TheZone 3 minute joke where they pretended that Steve Gleason called in and they asked him questions.

My apologies to everyone. It was a stupid attempt at humor that backfired. Emphasis on stupid.
