Clay Matthews talks prostate cancer, tries on Depends

I was just driving when I heard this on a radio sports talk show. The guest was Clay Matthews of the Packers, who talked quite intelligently and frankly about prostate cancer. One of the radio hosts said he had been treated. Thanks in part to early detection, he had no side effects. But he also recalled that Vince Lombardi refused tests and was detected late, and so died at age 57. (I haven't verified this.)

This is part of a fund raiser by Matthews, along with DeMarcus Ware and Wes Welker.

Football pros DeMarcus Ware, Wes Welker and Clay Matthews discussed facts about prostate cancer. They tried on Depend® Real Fit Briefs for Men, and Depend gave $75,000 on their behalf to The V Foundation for Cancer Research.

David,

The radio guy made it sound like Lombardi died of prostate cancer, but he probably meant to talk about cancer in general. Anyway, the point is taken.

Hmm, not many Packers fans here I guess.
