Nick Easonhttp://www.steelers.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.steelers.com/team/roster/nick-eason/1958304c-cf0b-406a-a695-b04669d6ef89/)’s words hung in the air, and a chill ran through me. This was not an exaggeration, an attempt at sympathy, a quest for attention. What he said came across as matter-of-fact, honest. It was how he felt. It is what he feared.
“If I was going to die, I didn’t want to die alone.”
It all started innocently enough, sometime in mid-March, with Eason feeling some pain in his right side, but with no other symptoms accompanying it, he basically ignored it.
“I deal with pain every day as a football player,” said Eason. “I feel pain all the time. I thought maybe I’m out of shape, maybe I’m just cramping. It was on and off for a while.”..................
