I was just on the Sports Illustrated website and was struck by one of the headlines of one of their articles that said Eddie George's father has tested positive for the coronavirus. Per article:

The Tennessee Titans’ all-time leading rusher revealed Tuesday that his father has been diagnosed with the disease that continues to spread throughout the country. Edward George Sr. is 70 years old and a resident at an assisted living facility in Philadelphia.

George also said that his father has some underlying medical issues, so that is a concern.

The article also quotes George as saying his father was the influence that got him interested in football, as he would talk fondly about Jim Brown and Walter Payton, and that made George want his father to talk about him in the same way.

Prayers and thoughts up for Eddie George, Sr. and family. Everyone stay safe out there.
