Odell Beckham Jr. made one ailing child’s dream come true over the weekend.

On July 17, a radio DJ in Amarillo, Texas named Tommy Lee reached out to the New York Giants wide receiver in a Facebook post. In the post, Lee pleaded Beckham to come meet a 9-year-old boy named Jayro Ponce who is fighting cancer (a malignant rhabdoid tumor) and whose “hero” is Beckham, and included a picture of him and Ponce.

“We hope you see this and can find it within your heart to reach out to this young man who is battling for his life, and is now at the Ronald McDonald House in Amarillo, Texas…,” Lee’s post began. “His name is Jayro and is a hero to many of us here in Amarillo, but Odell Beckham you are a hero to Jayro. Can you please reach out to Jayro and fulfill one of his dreams. Thank You from everyone here in Amarillo,Texas!”

Danny Richburg — the father of former Giants center Weston Richburg — noticed Lee’s post and jumped on Twitter to contact Beckham and attempt to set up a visit as part of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The facility in Amarillo, Texas where Ponce is being treated is just a few miles from the Richburgs’ hometown of Bushland. Beckham responded to Richburg on Twitter one day later, on July 18, saying “How could I make it happen?”

Weston Richburg visited Ponce earlier this year, and learned then that Beckham was the boy’s favorite player.

Beckham eventually visited Ponce on Saturday after coordinating the trip with Make-A-Wish and took photos with the boy’s family:

“We were blessed to spend time with this amazing soul and his friend! There’s no words for this experience,” Team Jayro wrote on FaceBook. “Jayro enjoyed this experience to the fullest. Thank you Make A Wish!”

Team Jayro shirts are available to raise money to help fund the family’s medical and travel expenses.

This is not the first time Beckham has worked with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The Giants wideout wore cleats with the organization’s name on them during a game last season, and has regularly spent time with sick children before games.

Beckham has been spending his offseason in Los Angeles. The Giants’ training camp begins on Friday, with players expected to report by Thursday. Beckham is set to attend.

Giants quarterback Eli Manning has also worked with several hospitals around the country over the years to raise money for a cause entitled Tackle Kids Cancer.

The Buffalo Sabres finished their home season with a 2-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday, although their 2016-2017 campaign hasn’t ended on an entirely positive note.

Sabres’ Kyle Okposo In ICU with Illness

The Sabres, and especially their coach, are “very concerned” about forward Kyle Okposo, who has been hospitalized in intensive care with an undisclosed ailment since March 28. Okposo last played on March 27 against Carolina.

The former New York Islanders star, who will be 29 on April 16, is being held in in-patient care in the Neuro Surgical ICU at Buffalo General Hospital, according to The Buffalo News.

As The Buffalo News stated, neurological ICUs are often intended to serve patients with neurological injuries such as strokes and brain trauma or hemorrhages.

Sabres coach Dan Bylsma provided few details about Okposo’s diagnosis and condition when speaking with reporters Wednesday after the team’s morning skate.

“It’s a difficult thing for him to be dealing with now in this situation,” Bylsma said. “Very, as a coach and a person, concerned for him and his situation.

“He’s seeing our doctors and done some tests.”

The Sabres later added in a statement that Okposo, who has now missed four games, was being treated by team doctors “as he deals with symptoms of an illness.”

“Out of respect to Kyle and his family, we will have no further comment at this time,” the team said.

Okposo signed with Buffalo as a free agent this offseason. He has been ruled out for the Sabres’ last two games this season against Florida on Saturday and Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Several of Okposo’s teammates, including defenseman Zach Bogosian and fellow forward Matt Moulson, have offered support for the player.

Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians was carried to the hospital with chest pains Sunday night, although the team says test results “have come back favorably.”

Cardinals Coach Bruce Arians Hospitalized With Chest Pains; Tests ‘Favorable’

“After returning home from Minnesota, Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians was experiencing discomfort and not feeling well during the night. His wife took him to a local hospital to be evaluated,” the Cardinals said in a statement. “All tests conducted so far have come back favorably. He remains in the hospital for continued evaluation.”

Arians was hospitalized earlier this year after battling symptoms associated with Diverticulitis, a condition which affects the digestive tract. The coach was rushed to a San Diego hospital before a preseason game against the Chargers in August with the initial belief that he had a kidney stone.

Cardinals safety Tyrann Mathieu said he spoke to Arians:

The Cardinals cancelled Arians’ Monday press conference that was scheduled for 2:15 p.m. ET.

Arizona lost to the Minnesota Vikings 30-24 in Minneapolis on Sunday.

Arians’ health has been issue throughout his career. He gained 33 pounds during his first season in Arizona, but then lost about 15 in the two months following the season. He began walking before practices during the 2013 season, but hasn’t been spotted doing that at all since then.

He was also previously hospitalized before an Indianapolis Colts wild-card game against the Baltimore Ravens in 2013 due to an ear infection. Before that, Arians underwent surgery for prostate cancer in 2007 while with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

During his tenure as head coach of Temple University, Arians was reportedly hospitalized for migraines, sometimes up to twice a week. Arians said that as soon as he was fired from Temple in 1988, the migraines stopped.

The Cardinals (4-5-1), who are second in NFC West, will next visit the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

Denver Broncos coach Gary Kubiak had a health scare following his team’s 23-16 home loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

Broncos Coach Gary Kubiak Enters Hospital With Flu-Like Symptoms After 23-16 Loss To Falcons

About an hour after the game ended, the team stated Kubiak was diagnosed with a “complex migraine condition that caused extreme fatigue and body weakness.” He is expected to be released from the hospital Monday afternoon after “feeling much better” Monday morning, the Broncos wrote in a statement.

The Broncos’ statement also said Kubiak underwent “several precautionary tests” at the hospital in Denver, including an MRI and CT scan, both of which returned normal.

According to the latest update, Kubiak will not coach the Broncos against the Chargers in San Diego on Thursday and will not return to the team until Oct. 17, general manager John Elway announced Monday afternoon.

Special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis has been elevated to interim head coach.

The 55-year-old coach has dealt with health issues during a game before. He suffered a transient ischemic attack, or mini-stroke, in 2013 during halftime of a game while serving as head coach of the Houston Texans.

The Falcons (4-1) defeated the defending Super Bowl champion Broncos (4-1) using a strong series of I-formation runs and short passes. The game marked Denver’s first loss since Dec. 20 at Pittsburgh, and left the Minnesota Vikings (5-) as the NFL’s last undefeated team.

Atlanta running backs Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman combined for an impressive 119 yards and a 4.4-yard average.

A week after setting a franchise record with 503 yards passing in a runaway victory over the Carolina Panthers– the Super Bowl 50 losers–Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan threw for 267 yards Sunday and only two of those (covering 29 yards) went to Julio Jones. 

Last week, Jones became only the sixth 300-yard receiver in NFL annals. Coleman, who played despite having sickle cell trait, showed off his speed by catching four passes for 132 yards to go with 31 yards on six carries.

Ryan’s small total included a 31-yard touchdown toss to Coleman after Ricardo Allen’s interception at the Denver 42 in the third quarter that made it 20-3.

The game also marked the Broncos’ first home loss since Dec. 13 against the Oakland Raiders.

Paxton Lynch made his first NFL start as quarterback for the Broncos. Lynch, the 26th overall pick in 2016 out of Memphis, got the starting nod because Trevor Siemian’s bruised A.C. joint in his non-throwing shoulder was still bothering him a week after he was taken down in Tampa Bay.

Lynch struggled, however, completing 23 of 35 passes for 223 yards with a late TD to Demaryius Thomas and an interception. He was sacked a half-dozen times, including 3½ times by outside linebacker Vic Beasley. 

Lynch’s footwork was a disaster, and his overthrows and misfires ruined any chance the Broncos had of capitalizing on the league’s 30th-ranked defense, including the NFL’s next-to-last pass defense and a patchwork linebacker corps.

The Broncos will next visit the San Diego Chargers on Thursday, while the Falcons will visit the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
