Just terrible news. Hopefully Chuck can make a full recovery. Dude was/is going to do great things down in Indy with Mr. Luck. Best wishes to him and his family.

I hate to see anybody have cancer, especially Leukemia, I know far too many people with Leukemia. Thankfully it's treatable, I hope he focuses in recovery first and football last.

Heard about this on PTI last night. Just a sad story. Here's to hoping for a speedy recovery for Pagano. Glad to hear it's a treatable illness.

It's lucky timing that this was the Colts' bye week, this gave Pags some time to get tested and to transition to a passive role. Because it's officially breast cancer awareness month, none of the players are allowed to wear orange equipment at this time, but Reggie Wayne said as soon as it's over he and his teammates will. Also, Bob Kravitz is trying to persuade the crowd to wear orange instead of blue for the Sunday game against the Packers.

There is a video on the Colts website of Jim Irsay and Ryan Grigson in the locker room after the game and Irsay informs the team that Coach Pagano was able to watch the win today from his own home. The locker room exploded thereafter.
