He denied rumors his visit stemmed from an irregular heartbeat. "It was one of those routine go in and get checked up kind of things," he said. "That's all it was. "They said I'm healthy as a cow." Sparano said he plans to take off a few days at the end of next week to "recharge my batteries" in Hilton Head, S.C. Hope all is well with Tony.
I know what it means to have an irregular heartbeat. Was I was in the Marine Corps and doing my discharge physical, the doc says I am not signing off on your physical, I said what? Off to the Navy Hospital I went. The doc there was cool. I said what am I doing here. He said the regular doc thought you had too much electricity in your heart. The heart doc says you want to see your heart beat, I said heck yeah. Rolled over on my side and moved the wand over my heart. Was actually pretty dang cool. Prayers, thoughts,and well wishes for Tony.
