It is a horrible disease which is a death sentence

Thoughts and prayers for Ricky and his family

This is one of those Posts that I wish we had a 'Don't Like' for the content. It's such a sad story, but I'm glad you made us aware of Rickey's condition, runningback43. Thank You!

I remember watching Dixon return an interception for a touchdown in his first game against Pittsburgh in 1984.
He gave us some great memories.

I agree with you senior Sooner. I loved watching Rickey play when he was a Sooner and also in the NFL. Sad story.

Heartbreaking story.

Really sad to hear.

I vaguely recall an article a year or so ago with a picture of him in bed, and referencing that Barry had been down to see him?

Things like this that happens to people make you feel helpless. I hate it.

ESPN E:60 had a story on Rickey as well this morning. I have not watched it yet, but it is on my DVR. Sad deal.

Get yourself a hand full of tissues to wipe away your tears before watching it. It's pretty awful. Bless Rickey and his family.

This same feature has a spotlight on Baker Mayfield following the story on Rickey.
