Still one of the best magicians ever
My dads Aorta burst around 10 years ago so its good to see that Jon got diagnosed before something worse happened.
Im a die hard Eagles fan and I have to admit, when Jon was traded to the Saints, I was pretty pissed about it. He was a great player and I hated the fact he would be wearing another teams uniform. However, when I found out what happened with him, I was glad the trade had taken place, because it saved his life. But he will always and forever be known as a Philadelphia Eagle! God bless you Jon Dorenbos.
YOU DESERVE THAT RING for all the years you played for that team.... and don't let anyone tell you any different. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!
We love and miss you Jon thanks for everything man keep inspiring and making people smile and feel better about themselves. You're a great guy may God continue to bless you so you can continue to bless others. ✌
Had the same surgery in 2018 at age 41. It was a stroke that saved me. If I never had the stroke they never would have found the enlarged valve. Thank you God for giving Jon and I another chance at life!!!!😁❤
I hate those commercials where football players are yelling at you to wake up like no dude its 9am I just wanna hear ESPN as background sound not yelling at me
If the Saints win the Super Bowl, he should get a ring.
Saints v Chiefs in the Super Bowl
As sentimentally sweet as that sounds... hogwash. Getting an Eagles ring can be justified through 12 years of service, but not for the Saints. (If the Saints win and give one to a guy who whiffed on team stretching and then tore his heel a day later, I'll be more than a little pissed.)
@@RonJohn63 Dez did not whiff on stretching. He needed more time to build up and become football ready. His injury is more of a coaching error than him trying to compete.
@@derrickwright5948 watch the video from the Saints of his first time practicing with the Saints. All the others in the field of view were rigorously stretching. He... wasn't. The guy was supposed to be working out and keeping himself fit all year, ready for when the call came, and then in *practice* -- not a game, but *practice* -- he tears his Achilles tendon. That's all on him for not stretching enough.
RonJohn63 dez pulled an Achilles’ tendon in practice after stretching shift happens man
This is amazing. Imagine if he practiced or got hit in the chest before this occurred he likely wouldn’t be here.
I got to meet John once; what a fantastic human being. He was genuine and kind. I am grateful and I strive to be like John.
What an amazing story. God bless you. You are a wonderful person. Your Mom is so proud of you!
I mainly know him for America’s Got Talent
I was in the hospital for my own emergency open heart surgery when this aired, love this story! ❤️. It really is a massive physical and emotional burden to recover from such a surgery.
What a great inspiration you are Sir. God bless
God bless your story is inspiring!
BRO U ARE ALWAYS APART OF THE TEAM 12yrs IN💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🦅🦅🦅🦅
I'm a saints fan and for some reason I don't like reading all the hate comments against the eagles. We won today.. Watching this video makes me think we have a special bond with the eagles. Whodat!!
nola grom latino Im an eagles fan and i love the saints
I’m live in Philadelphia and I’m a die hard saints fan
It's sports. You don't have to read hate comments but I love them. There's eagles fans doing the same. It's all part of the game. Watching this video didn't make me think anything more or less of the Eagles. It's still #CRYEAGLESCRY
Im an Eagles fan but since we arent going please win the superbowl!
Amazing!
Love the story!!!!
Awesome 👏🏻 video
what a great dude and go eagles
An absolute inspiration to all humanity.
So inspirational
Dude you were def part of the team… F*** everyone who doesn’t think that… you the man keep doing what your doing… I love hearing you on wip
Really cool guy. Like best friend type of guy
Best magician
It's great day to be alive
I interviewed him at the linc at training camp before he was traded
Who do you report/write for? Did you get into the field area "Stealth"ly? Seriously though, I'd be interested to read your article on it.
Man i fcuking love this guy..
Beautiful
Crazy
His story almost chocked me up
Was up bro
Well that took a sharp left turn...
Unbelievable
Wow
Amazing story
6:00 -- Not Part of the team? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Are you kidding me? You played for the eagles for 14 F**ing Years including the pre-season of that one, and did such a good job that a Draft pick was traded for you.(Rare for a specialist such as a snapper). And Dorenbos also played in their SuperBowl game in 2004 , and the NFC Championships including 2008. I'd say he more than deserved it for his efforts and longevity
I love you!
Hi
🙏🏽
12 years with the teams, ya he is part of the team.
Anyone here after the America’s got talent episode
Eagles ownership is first class for giving him a ring
NFL, Not For Long. Awesome person, for life.
Is being traded a good thing? Can somebody explain it, please?
If a teams willing to trade for you it means you have value
Saints fans will like the video I made.
WOW, THIS STORY JUST GETS MORE AND MORE PERSONAL. BEFORE I LEFT THE U.S. TO COME BACK TO THAILAND MY DOCTOR TOLD ME I HAD A LEAKY VALVE. THE SAME ONE THAT JON HAD.HE TOLD ME IT WASN'T REAL BAD BUT IF IT GOT ANY WORSE IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. SORRY DOC BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME A LITTLE MORE. SINCE I'VE BEEN BACK IN THAILAND I HAVE NOTICED THAT I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY ENERGY LEVEL. I AM ONLY ABLE TO WALK VERY SHORT DISTANCES BEFORE I HAVE TO SIT DOWN. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY LUNGS BECAUSE I'VE HAD PNEUMONIA TWICE THIS YEAR. I THINK I BETTER GET DRESSED AND GO SEE A DOCTOR.
Even if you aren’t religious you have to believe that something unknown is out there even if it’s just the “universe”. I mean what are the chances that he looks down and sees a penny on the floor right before going through open heart surgery. That’s surreal .
How many times had he looked down in trying circumstances and *not* seen a penny? (This is a kind of cognitive bias known as the availability heuristic.)
@@RonJohn63 true, but why were there be a single penny laying on the floor of an elevator? Unless there's some sort of cafeteria or something nearby, the odds are highly improbable
@@ryapowa the odds are *always* highly improbable that there will be a penny on the ground when you look down. He noticed it only because his brain was primed to notice it.
@@RonJohn63 actually pennies are one form of currency that people care about the least due to its lack of value and the abundance of such coins, therefore they are more prone to being dropped and not picked back up
@@ryapowa while that makes them less prone to being picked up, what about their lack of value makes them more likely to be dropped?
Caris Lavert sent me here
Why he got a Super Bowl Ring from the Eagles because he was Family. Us Eagles fans loved him even before he did Americas Got Talent to do his Card Tricks.
