Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakaritea e te kairipoata mātanga o ESPN, a Shelley Smith, kia hoki ki te mahi, e ono marama i muri i tana whakapuakanga he mate pukupuku tana. I whakapuakina e Smith i runga i Twitter i te Oketopa o te tau kua hipa kua mate ia i te mate pukupuku o te uma, a mai i taua wa kua whakauruhia ki te chemotherapy. Ka puta tuatahi ia i te 30 o Paenga-whāwhā, i mua tonu o te NFL Draft. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Ko te kairipoata o ESPN a Shelley Smith (i runga ake nei) ka hoki ki te mahi e ono marama i muri i tana whakapuaki i tana mate pukupuku uma. Ko Smith (i runga ake nei me Carmelo Anthony) ka puta tuatahi i te 30 o Aperira, i mua noa o te NFL Draft, e uiui ana ki te toa o te Heisman Trophy a Marcus Mariota. I whakapuakina e ia he mate pukupuku tana i runga i a Twitter i te Oketopa o te tau kua hipa. I whakaatu hoki a Smith, 56, i roto i tetahi uiui me Sports Illustrated, i mahi ai ia i mua i tana tuunga ki ESPN, kaore ia e mau i te wig i tana hokinga mai, a he whakapehapeha ia ki tona mahunga koretake. 'He hoa tāku he kaitiaki oncology o mua, e kī mai ana ki a au mēnā ka hinga tō makawe, ko te tikanga kei te mahi te rongoā kino,' i mea ia. 'Ko te tūnga i tangohia e ahau ki tenei. E mihi ana ahau ki oku makawe, engari i mau ahau ki tana i korero ai: Ko taku mahunga makawe te tikanga kei te whawhai ahau, a ka titiro ahau ki a ia hei waimarie ki te whawhai.' Mo tana mahi tuatahi, ka haere a Smith ki Hawaii, ka noho tahi me te kaitiaki o Oregon, a Marcus Mariota, mo tētahi whakaaturanga ka rere i mua i te kōwhiringa. Ko Mariota, te toa o te Heiman Trophy o tēnei tau, e tūmanakohia ana e te nuinga o ngā mātanga kia eke tuatahi, tuarua rānei i te kōwhiringa, i te taha o te whetū o Florida, me te hoa kaitiaki, a Jameis Winston. Ka noho tahi hoki ia ki a Mariota i te wā o te whakaingoatanga, ā, ka uiui i a ia i muri i tana kōwhiringa i mua i tana hokinga mai mo ētahi atu rauna e rima o te chemotherapy. Ko Smith (i runga ake nei) ka whakawhiwhia ki etahi atu rauna e rima o te chemotherapy i muri i te NFL Draft. Ahakoa e mea ana ia he roa tonu te huarahi ki te whakaora, kei te hoki mai ia ki nga mea o te ao - a ka uru atu ki te whare whakapakari tinana. 'Kāore au i tino pai, engari i taea e au,' i mea ia. 'Kei te kaha haere ahau i ia rā, ā, he tino āwhina tēnei ki taku maia. Kaore koe e tino mohio he pehea te kaha o koe kia tae ra ano ki tetahi mea penei me taku whakaaro...
