Legendary San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dwight Clark, who is remembered for his 1982 NFC Championship game heroics when he hauled in “The Catch” from quarterback Joe Montana, revealed he has been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

I would not wish this disease on anyone, but it's sad to hear that a class guy like Dwight Clark has been afflicted with it.

I'm bumping "my own" thread ... sorry ... just want this to be the thread that shows on the main index page, not the one about that other jerk (which I also started, before hearing about Dwight Clark).
