I always loved Eddie Johnson. He was one of my favorite players growing up. I didn't know he had been sick.

Rest in peace Eddie. :(

He's been sick for years, and regularly ex-players will hold fundraisers for him since the sickness wiped him out financially. Apparently he was widely liked by his teammates. In fact today I heard an ad for a Super Bowl party that will have ex-Browns players at it and at the end they said something about funds going to Johnsons fund. The ad was likely in the can for a while and ran at a poor time.

I always like Eddie "The Assassin". May he rest in peace. :(

Yesterday on TV they had footage of him from the summer. He needed 2 crutchs and had lost a ton of weight.
