    According to FOX 26, he could go blind after he doesn't get this done. Prayers.

    He has an infection where one of his eyes bleeds at times.

    The idiot GM has been working to remake the roster and has done an excellent job while suffering physically (and certainly emotionally).

    CD -- the very best to you. I'm sending $10 to the Tip Jar in your honor.

    I think this is part of a health condition which has dogged CD for years. He was not in consideration affter Chaney was fired in 91/92 because of it. Anyone know what it is?

    Best of luck CD -- if your vision is severely impaired, god forbid, you can probably get work as a ref.

    But seriously good luck, thanks for everything

    Ooh, the tragic Bleedy-Eye Syndrome. BES is a rough disease... good luck, Carrol.

    I'd be interested in knowing what the exact eye condition is. Good luck CD.

    I wish Carrol Dawson the best of luck.

    And to those of you who make jokes about his sight problem being the reason for so-called bad trades/moves made in your opinion..... Let's put the game of basketball aside for just a second. One of a man's five senses is on the line.

    Now, how would you feel if your eyes started mysteriously bleeding?

    You’d be scared as sh*t, right? [​IMG]

    How about if you woke up next morning and couldn’t see at all?

    Same way, right? [​IMG]

    Point being here is, if I were some of you guys, I wouldn’t joke around about something this serious. Remember, if you make fun of someone else's misfortunes, the same fate could be bestowed upon you too.

    Not that I would wish that on anyone though.

    TE

    I agree tigereye.

    Pretty disturbing that so many can make jokes of CD's health just because they don't agree with the way he has done his job.
