Royale with Cheese Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I don't remember the story of his mom and dad being reported during his time with the Bills. Awful tragedy... http://web.kitsapsun.com/archive/2004/11-28/19608_a_dozen_years_later__woodinville.html I don't think anyone knew about it (outside the local news at the time) until America's Got Talent last year.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 @rapsheet #Saints coach Sean Payton said LS Jon Dorenbos had an aortic aneurysm. Will have surgery, placed on non-football injury list. Scary. he seemed in good shape, sending prayers He was listed as one of my favorite Bill of the drought era in an earlier thread. He and I believe his sister came home from school one day to see his mother's body. Awful story. Turned to magic as a way to block out the pain. Did really well on America's got Talent last year, think he took second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He finished around 5 or 6. That Grace Vanderwall took 1st and the Illusionists took second. Dorenbos I felt should have been higher. He was sensational in his performances.

Punching Bag Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Shame about it. When I heard he went from Eagles to Saints I wished the Bills could have swung a deal with some of the discarded players to bring him back. If it was not a known condition I do not know how Eagles can rescind the deal this late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 If anyone watches Americas Got Talent...he was awesome last year. He was one of my favorites to win it. He's got a great career after football. Wishing him the best. He actually did a segment of magic on a couple episodes ago this season. So strange to see him looking very healthy performing then hearing this. I will pray for him for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Doug Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Horrible news, but it could've been much worse. Glad they caught it. Dude should go full time magic now and live out his dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
