Sam Wyche answers a phone call from a complete stranger. Within a few moments, he is updating the person on the state of his heart.
As you might remember, the former Bengals coach was minutes away from dying last September; he was holed up in the Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, waiting for a heart transplant. Shortly after that, our own Peter King wrote eloquently about Wyche and how he received that transplant just in time.
“I got up this morning at 3 a.m. to go to Charlotte for some check-up tests on my heart,” Wyche says now, a year later.
