Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald paid a visit Saturday to one of his team’s biggest cheerleaders: Sen. John McCain.
McCain’s wife, Cindy, posted a photo of the trio on Instagram at the McCains’ Arizona cabin.
Fitzgerald and the 81-year-old Arizona Republican lawmaker — who has been battling an aggressive form of brain cancer for months — have been friendly for years.
In December, the football player penned a touching tribute to McCain for Sports Illustrated.
“When I think about Christmas, and I think about Senator McCain, I think of giving,” Fitzgerald wrote.
In a nod to McCain’s military service, Fitzgerald continued, “The sacrifices John McCain has made for our country, and especially the men and women he served with in the military, are incredible. I saw the very jail cell where he was held as a POW, and I tried to imagine what it must have been like to be him. I took a photo of myself next to his flight suit, the suit he was wearing when he got shot down. So powerful. So meaningful. Those images will never leave my mind.”
And of McCain’s health, Fitzgerald wrote, “Sen. John McCain again finds himself in a battle. This time it’s with cancer, and the treatment he’s undergoing is exhausting. I’ll wish him a Merry Christmas today, and I pray he lives another 20 years.”
McCain was diagnosed with glioblastoma over the summer. In July, he began chemotherapy and radiation treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix.

What pictures? I went to the link and a only picture of the footballer.
I’ve got March 15.
What pictures? I don’t see any at the link.
Glassy eyed and thin necked. And that was Christmas
Fitzgerald is a class act regardless of our general opinion of McCain.
worse than Bill Clinton?
No matter how we feel about McCain, Fitzgerald is real class (as well as the best receiver currently in the NFL). Fitzgerald vs. Jerry Rice? That is one I leave to the experts to decide.
“Graham added, “I’m very confident he’ll come back and continue to participate for a long time to come.””
Another Lindsey Lie!
There’s a link to the picture at the link
Fitzgerald is a great receiver, but not Jerry Rice.
Just what I thought. McLettucehead’s “cabin” makes my house look like servant’s quarters.
Just got the swimsuit issue... no McCain!
“Fitzgerald is a class act regardless of our general opinion of McCain.”
It is too bad though because I sort of liked Fitzgerald. The killer of Obamacare repeal can never be forgiven.
He appears well enough to be in DC earning his pay. He looks as well as several other senators that are on the job.
The pics I have seen of him recently show him all covered up except for his face. I wonder if he has lost so much weight, they don’t want that to be seen.
Juan is bundled up in a bulky sweatshirt so you can’t see how skinny he is.
Looks like a dungeon to me.
