A Little Perspective
Sure watching the Bears stumble their way to yet another loss, this time to the Philadelphia Eagles (more on that later) is bad, but there are some things that make even that debacle pale in comparison.
While most of us were cursing Jay Cutler and Company, promising Chicago boxer Francisco Rodriguez passed away Sunday night, apparently the result of a TKO he suffered in his bout against Teon Kennedy Friday night in Philadelphia, a fight to determine the vacant USBA super bantamweight championship. Rodriguez collapsed in his corner, was rushed to the hospital and died when his family made the decision to take him off life support.
His opponent's co-manager, Doc Nowicki, was quoted on Philly.com as saying, "We stopped off for a cheesesteak after the fight and I told Teon, 'It might not be looking too good for the other guy, T. What we all need to do now is pray for his recovery.' But sometimes prayers aren't enough."
