• 01APR04 Thelionsfanatics.com on Joey Harrington : In a shocking turn of events, it's expected that an announcement will come from Allen Park soon to confirm that QB Harrington will miss at least the following season after suffering a reoccurrence in a heart condition previously thought to have been treated. It's said to be possible that this reoccurrence could cost him his career. The reoccurrence of Harrington's tachycardia happened Tuesday in the organized strength and conditioning sessions at Allen Park while participating in voluntary drills. His irregular heart rhythm will make it impossible for him participate in most, if any, strenuous exercise, rendering him incapable of taking part in all practices and games. It is expected that he will undergo a more invasive procedure immediately; one that may result in far more recovery time than his previous treatment.

That's shocking and saddening news. :(

He was on the verge of a great career and to help turn the Lions franchise around.

Some people are so sick, there's nothing wrong with a harmless April Fool's Joke but when you are faking someone's health that is bad. The fact that he had heart problems last year made that all the mor believable.

I agree with Todd. I do not find ANY jokes about people getting ill or dying funny. Whoever made that up was just sick. I think I'll just close this thread.
