Jovan Belcher was one sick son of B****

Um, no. And no where have I stated as such.

What I said was that the Lamar's state of health was so poor that he was in no position to endorse or deny a draft choice.

Here's the deal: He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in the 90's. He'd had it for a while, and like many men, "toughed out the pain". Unfortunately, by the time he went to doctor, it had metastasized. At that point, all the doctors could do was slow it's progression.

As for Belcher, with each passing day, his issues seem to grow deeper and deeper. The Chiefs were clearly aware of his issues and demons.

Whether or not they did "enough" is up for debate. But make no mistake: They knew what was going on .
