      Even while he battled illness, he worked to raise money for the Vaughn McClure Foundation, which he helped create to commemorate the memory of McClure, a former colleague and ESPN reporter who died in 2020.
      Dickerson called his wife Caitlin an “inspiration” in 2019 because she “refused to let her cancer dictate her life,” according to ESPN.
      When he was diagnosed with cancer in early 2021, he turned his resolve into a full schedule that included parenting Parker, fundraising for cancer research, and covering the Chicago Bears for ESPN internet and ESPN 1000 radio.
      He also joined the board of the Vaughn McClure Foundation, a non-profit he helped create to memorialize McClure, a former Bears beat reporter and ESPN Atlanta Falcons reporter who died in 2020.
      Dickerson was the emcee at the foundation’s first fundraising dinner in Chicago on October 14.
      Few in attendance were aware that his illness was progressing.

      What are people saying about Jeff Dickerson?
      When news of Dickerson’s death broke, he was described as “the consummate professional” by the Bears in a statement.
      “JD took a great deal of pride in his coverage of the Bears for 20 years,” said the statement, according to ESPN. “He was a true professional and even better person. JD always was one of the first media members to arrive in the press box on game day, with a hello and a smile that could brighten anyone’s day. He was one of a kind and will truly be missed.”
      Dickerson was regarded as someone who won the respect of teammates who valued his devotion to precision, according to San Francisco 49ers place-kicker Robbie Gould, who spent 11 seasons with the Bears.
      “He always wrote a true story,” said Gould. “He always wrote what was happening at the moment. He didn’t try to back the bus up over somebody. He tried to get it exactly how the story was. … I think you saw a lot of guys give him a lot of credit because they knew he would write it right.
      “He was a mentor to me as someone who aspires to get into the media world when football is over,” Gould said, “and I looked up to him.”

      Algeria are out to defend the AFCON title they won in 2019
      Cameroon will host the showpiece which sees Algeria looking to defend the title they won two years ago.
      And a host of Premier League stars will be playing, despite the competition taking place in the middle of the domestic season.
      When do Premier League players leave for AFCON?
      With AFCON taking place mid-season, a number of Premier League clubs are going to be affected by their players leaving.
      The competition runs between Sunday, January 9 to Sunday, February 6.
      This year there are 24 nations competing, with the group stage featuring six groups of four teams.
      Following that will be the traditional knockouts, before the final itself on February 6 in Olembe.
      The tournament has twice been rescheduled but is finally going ahead in Cameroon
      With preparations to make before the big kick-off, it was expected that Prem players would have to meet up with their teammates around New Year.
      But officials have decided that all players can stay with their parent clubs until January 3.
      A statement read: “CAF has decided that for those players who have official club matches between the 27 December 2021 and 3 January 2022, the participating member associations in question are to be directed that these players may remain with their clubs to participate in these matches and be released after the last match during this period.”
      As a result, Liverpool have Mo Salah and Sadio Mane among their ranks for their big clash with Chelsea on January 2.
      Liverpool look set to be without Salah for two top-flight games, the FA Cup third round and EFL Cup semi-finals

      When will they return?
      This of course depends on how well each individual nation does in the tournament.
      But should a Prem players team go all the way to the final, they would return to their clubs ahead of Gameweek 24 on February 8.
      Due to the FA Cup third round in the second weekend of January, Premier League players could potentially only miss TWO top-flight matches due to their AFCON participation.
      But should a nation reach the final for example – on Feb 6 – it’s likely they will require rest after a month of tournament football before being thrown back into domestic competition.
      Here’s how the Premier League schedule looks currently, although things could change due to the enormous amount of games postponed over Christmas due to Covid-19 outbreaks.

      Gameweek 21 (PL players AVAILABLE) – January 1-3
      FA Cup third round – January 7-10
      Gameweek 22 – January 14-16
      Gameweek 23 – January 21-23
      Gameweek 24 (PL players RETURN in time for these games) – February 8-10

      Ralf Rangnick’s Man Utd were held at Newcastle
      United themselves had 16 days off before the Newcastle draw and captain Harry Maguire said that the long break in December was part of the reason why the players under-performed.
      The England international told ManUtd.com: “No 16-day break in the middle of a football season is going to help you.
      “The training ground has been shut and half the lads playing today are recovering from the virus, so of course it’s not going to help us.
      “We’ve had people with symptoms, people without symptoms, it’s been a real mixed bag for everyone at the football club and it’s been a tough time.
      “But you can’t make excuses for sloppy passes and the opportunities that we had, especially in the first half.”

      Three Premier League games were been called off, with Liverpool’s game against Leeds, Watford’s trip to Wolves and Burnley vs Everton being put back.
      Fans will be hoping more top flight games aren’t postponed due to rising rates of the highly contagious Omricon variant of Covid-19.
      There were just two games scheduled to take place in the Championship, four in League One and three in League Two on December 26.
      There was anger as Blackburn’s trip to Hull was cancelled at the last minute, just under two hours till kick off, when Rovers fans had already made their way to Humberside for the Championship clash.
