Omg. I hope his daughter will be OK. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family. Hopefully, everything works out, because he is the best O-Line coach in the world.

Re: Bugel Leaves Team To Join Daughter
 

Screw football... this is obviously much more important.

Re: Bugel Leaves Team To Join Daughter
 

He can be gone for as long as he needs to be or wants, as far as I'm concerned. His daughter has to be his first priority, without question.

Re: Bugel Leaves Team To Join Daughter
 

Bummer, very sorry to read this. The article states that he may only be gone a couple of days, but family is much more important than football...even Redskins football.

Get well Holly!

Re: Bugel Leaves Team To Join Daughter
 

I hope his daughter is able to win her battle against bone cancer, it sounds like she has a tough road ahead. My thoughts go out to her.

Re: Bugel Leaves Team To Join Daughter
 

Is it just me or is it just b/c I don't follow other teams that it seems like the Skins' have been hit by a lot of personal off-field trauma in the last 2-3 years.

S.Taylor (obviously)
R. Doughty's son
Bugel's daughter
CP's unborn child
Shawn Springs dad
Joe Gibbs' grandson
Stan Hixon's son

I know these things happen, but they seem to have happened a bunch to the men wearing the burgundy and gold.

Re: Bugel Leaves Team To Join Daughter
 

If you are of a mind, Joe and his daughter could use our prayers.

Re: Bugel Leaves Team To Join Daughter
 

So sad....

Re: Bugel Leaves Team To Join Daughter
 

I think she's already had her arm taken off. What an awful thing. I hope Buges takes all the time he needs. And I hope his daughter beats the cancer.

Re: Bugel Leaves Team To Join Daughter
 

They will be in my prayers...

Re: Bugel Leaves Team To Join Daughter
 

Prayers go out to the family. Bless them.

Re: Bugel Leaves Team To Join Daughter
 

take all the time you need. and may god be with you, and your family

Re: Bugel Leaves Team To Join Daughter
 

I'll be praying for Holly and the entire Bugel family. I cannot imagine what it's like for a parent to lose your adult son or daughter.

Re: Bugel Leaves Team To Join Daughter
 

Another classy move by Snyder allowing Bugel to use his private plane. Thoughts and prayers go out to Bugel and his entire family.

Wow I thought she was doing better. My prayers go out to Bugle and his family.

Re: Bugel Leaves Team To Join Daughter
 

My prayers and thoughts are with Bugel and his daughter.

Re: Bugel Leaves Team To Join Daughter
 

My thoughts and prayers go out to Buges, his daughter, and family. Having very recently lost my grandmother to cancer, I know the anguish that this terrible disease brings to the person and their love ones.

Re: Bugel Leaves Team To Join Daughter
 

Very sad . Hope all the thoughts well wishes and prayers help the Bugel family ,,,hoping for a recovery for Holly .

I was going to touch on the same thing. It must be great to have someone like Dan to do something like this. I'm sure it's not a request from each individual to borrow his plane. Didn't he fly Sean's father/family up to DC in it also?
It's just sad that every time we hear about the plane, it has something tragic involved with it....damn plane.

I hope the Bugel family makes it through this alright, my thoughts and prayers are with them.

Re: Bugel Leaves Team To Join Daughter
 

prayers go out to the head hog joe bugel and his daughter and family in need..

Re: Bugel Leaves Team To Join Daughter
 

Cancer is devastating, not only for the cancer striken but for the whole family and their community of friends. I wish them all strength and hope through this terrible time.

Is their a fund at Redskins Park where fans (extended family) can express their concern and solidarity for Holly in a more substanitive manner?

Re: Bugel Leaves Team To Join Daughter
 

My prayers are with Coach Bugel, his daughter and family.

Re: Bugel Leaves Team To Join Daughter
 

Buges returned to Redskins Park today

Re: Bugel Leaves Team To Join Daughter
 

Thats horrible. Thoughts and prayers with bugle and his family. Does anyone know how old Holly is? Does she have any children of her own?

Re: Bugel Leaves Team To Join Daughter
 

[quote=SmootSmack;465308]Buges returned to Redskins Park today[/quote]

I sure do hope this is a form of release for Joe to be back with the team at this difficult time. I know what shoes he's walking in, been there.

Re: Bugel Leaves Team To Join Daughter
 

Buges was just on George Michael.

Doesn't look good.

Says she's in end stage, not eating, heavily medicated and barely conscious.

Looks time for more prayin'.

J-Dawg.

Bugel met with Gibbs, he said, two days before Gibbs announced his second retirement from coaching. They went to breakfast at Landsdowne Resort in Leesburg, where Gibbs told him of his plans.
"He said, 'You're not going to talk me out of it,'" Bugel said. "We shared a few tears."
Gibbs then told Bugel, "You're going to stay a Redskin the rest of your life. Mr. Snyder has an affection for you. You should stay on."
The family felt the same way, including Holly.
"We had a family meeting and the consensus was, 'Keep workin', Dad,'" Bugel said.
"Joe just basically said, 'I'm good at working, making money and you're good at taking care of the family,'" said Bugel's wife, Brenda, by telephone from Houston. "He's right. That's sort of how it's been for 39 years."
They met in 1969, in the sports information office of Western Kentucky University, where Bugel coached and Brenda worked as a secretary.
"The first thing he said to me was, 'Are you married?'" Brenda recalled.
The wedding came three months later.
"We didn't even know each other," Brenda said. "We kind of grew up together."
They had three girls: Angie, 38, Holly, 35, and Jennifer, 31. But nothing in four decades - not the life changes or the pressures of the itinerant coaching world - prepared them for the news that rocked their family two years ago, when Bugel was pulled off the practice field and took Brenda's call in Gibbs' office.
Osteosarcoma was the diagnosis. Nearly 1,000 people had a similar form of bone cancer in 2007, according to the American Cancer Society. But the strain Holly is infected with is so rare, just five cases had been diagnosed last year, the Bugels said.
"It's a strong one," Brenda said. "We do need to sit down with the doctor and ask about the future. At some point, you run out of options and can't treat it anymore. But right now, we're fighting it with all we got."
The family, which lives near Phoenix, rented Holly an apartment in Houston, near the University of Texas' M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, among the country's most prominent and aggressive treatment centers.
She has taken part in several clinical trials but, after periods of improvement, the medication always needs to be changed. Holly can no longer undergo chemotherapy and constantly deals with anemia, a side effect from the medication.
She spent last Monday night in an emergency room, where she waited for two blood transfusions, which took four hours.
"There's really nothing Joe can do here right now," Brenda said. "He'd just pile up extra expenses, flying back and forth. I think (continuing to coach) is good for him because it keeps him busy."
Bugel has found much comfort in Ashburn, a place where grief and sadness took up residence for most of 2007.
In January of last year, Gibbs' grandson, Taylor, now 3 years old, was diagnosed with leukemia - though Taylor is gradually getting better. Last fall, Shawn Springs' father, the former NFL player Ron Springs, slipped into a coma and is still on life support. Sean Taylor's murder during a botched robbery attempt last November precipitated the most sorrowful days in franchise history.
"You talk about bringin' people together," Bugel said. "That's what happened out here."
Barring setbacks, Brenda, Angie and Jennifer are planning to take Holly to Las Vegas for her birthday next month, a sign that "nobody's surrendered. We're all pushing hard," Bugel said.
The coach will stay with the team, unless the disease worsens for Holly, who shares the M.D. Anderson Center with many children coping with similar diseases.
"She realizes she can't feel for herself because you see little kids walking around with their heads shaved," Bugel said. "She said to me, 'Hey, Dad, don't feel sorry. Somebody has my future ahead of me.'"

Buges is one hell of a man.

It aint fair.

It just aint fair.
