He fought for a long time. RIP Remdog

The human body can only fight the beast for so long. Eventually the beast just take the life out of it's victim.
The only good thing is that Jerry took it with him. Cancer is a stupid disease. When it kills it's victim, it commits suicide by taking it's source of life.

Rest peacefully RemDog, you've earned it.

He will truly be missed! Dude was a legend! I will miss him calling games for sure. R.I.P. you are no longer suffering

I fucking loved Remdog. A great player and then a great announcer. Him and Orsillo were the best.

I don’t mean to go to the dark side here but I wonder if his kid being a giant fucking asshole contributed to his poor health.

Yes... That sadly had a lot to do with it unfortunately

It's not dark at all and is a fair question. I really respect the way he responded to criticism about his parenting contributing to his son's behavior: "Maybe I could have done things differently, but I love him and didn't know better".. (That's paraphrased from my memory). He denied nothing and WHO could have known better.
