I've seen that quite a few people on here are also fans of TSS. If you haven't heard of it, it's a podcast that covers a ton of American soccer (most levels) as well the EPL and other leagues and I always recommend it.

One of the two hosts, Daryl Grove, announced today (maybe yesterday?) on the show that he was just diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer that has spread to his liver.

Someone close to him has set up a gofundme to help with the medical costs if anyone is in a charitable mood.

quote:

One Saturday this January, Daryl Grove flew to Florida with his wife, Shannon O’Neill, for a writers’ conference and vacation. Three days later, Shannon took him to the emergency department with severe stomach pain. The diagnosis was shocking and life-changing—stage IV colon cancer that has spread to his liver.

Suddenly, Daryl and Shannon faced a medical nightmare, hundreds of miles from their home in Richmond, Virginia. Daryl had a temporary procedure to relieve the pain and recovered for a week in the hospital before flying home. Daryl now faces surgery to remove the cancerous section of his colon and chemotherapy to treat his liver.  

Daryl is a freelance writer and co-host of the Total Soccer Show , which he started in 2009 with Taylor Rockwell. Today, it’s one of the most popular soccer podcasts in the United States. Listeners know his English accent, positive energy and infectious laugh. Daryl is also a freelance writer and a founder and director of Richmond Street Soccer , a soccer team for people recovering from substance abuse.

I figured something was up when Taylor referred to the first seven minutes being emotional but this really came out of nowhere. really sucks. cancer sucks.
