ESPN NFL Conversation

Hopefully Star is healthy and will live a full life with his family. Good Luck, whether you get to play in the NFL or not. To SEC10001 I don't know much about medical conditions but, I can tell that you are a bitter old soul who is either alone or hated by your wife and family. Relax, this is ESPN not WebMD.

I was actually born without a left ventricle. That doesn't mean I'm weak or fragile, in fact most people don't even know it unless I tell them. Still it's serious since the heart is the second most important organ in the human body. If it's not performing at 100% then you have a problem.

Heart damage? Strange. Most Mormons have brain damage.

I hope he gets this cleared up right away. Good thing for his pro day, that he still has a chance to show what he can do.

For everyone blaming the U for not catching this, enjoy: http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/blogsutahsports/55898921-59/lotulelei-utah-team-combine.html.csp "Petron said the majority of schools such as Utah don't include echocardiograms in their general physical assessments because they are expensive and there are often other indications there might be a problem, which would lead to further testing." "According to Petron, using echocardiograms in screenings for athletes is a relatively new process, even at the pro level. "Three years ago, this may never have been found and it might have been a nonissue," he said." http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/utes/55899228-89/lotulelei-heart-test-petron.html.csp There you go.

The entire U$C team lost their heart. They need the Wizard of Oz.

BlackShirt1313 I guess my BIG issue here is how the heck was this missed when we was at Utah? How do major universities with state of the art technology miss this? I find this unacceptable. Could be that it is a recent development or something that has just now started to become detectable. It could also be a false-positive which is why they are calling for additional testing. Things like this, unfortunately, do happen. For Lotulelei's sake, if additional testing does indicate a condition requiring treatment, let's just hope that it is nothing major.
