Besides wanting the Patriots to lose... Getting to watch Herz play in a Super Bowl is pretty tremendous.
I blow my mind that 32 teams passed on him 7x.

I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Re: Mark Herzlich
Is he really going to "play"? He is pretty far down the depth chart. -

Re: Mark Herzlich
Well, as a Cancer survivor myself, I hope he remains free from cancer, but he will not be Cancer free until 5 years have passed from the first time he showed no sign of cancer & I can tell you that Cancer & the treatment of it affects you for the rest of your life.Originally posted by King BedardComment

Re: Mark Herzlich
The Pats have their own cancer survivor and a pretty nice story in Marcus Cannon.
I like Herzlich a lot, though. I think he becomes a starter for the Giants at ILB in the next couple years.Comment

Re: Mark Herzlich
He'll definitely be on the field some come Sunday.
Also good note from Icky about the Patriots own cancer survivor in Cannon.
Both players are great stories.COMING SOON...
