Rod Thorn suffered a bout of heart arrhythmia last month while undergoing knee replacement. "It was jumping all over my chest!" said Thorn, describing how his heart started beating wildly. Thorn is on medication for the problem and won't curb his presidential duties. He's also optimistic about his team's prospects this season. Meanwhile, Lawrence Frank discloses that Sean Williams "has been playing probably better than anyone" in camp.
