Peyton Manning Neck Surgery

Peyton Manning Neck Surgery – The AFC champion Indianapolis Colts announced that Peyton Manning just had successful neck surgery.

The Colts released this statement about Peyton Manning’s neck surgery:

“Peyton Manning yesterday underwent a surgical procedure to relieve pain in his neck caused by a pinched nerve. This condition has existed intermittently for the past four years, but at no time did it interfere with his training, practice or playing regimen. While it never has affected Peyton’s activity on or off the field, the Colts’ medical staff, after post-playoff examination, thought it best to resolve the situation now.”

Peyton Manning had the neck surgery operation in Chicago and the team says he shouldn’t have any lingering problems going forward nor will he miss any aspects of the team’s offseason program.

The Colts said Manning spent Tuesday night in the hospital after the surgery and was released Wednesday.

“All medical personnel involved believe the issue has been resolved,” the team said. “Peyton fully expects to participate in the Colts’ offseason program this spring.”

Manning, the league’s only four-time MVP, just completed his 12th season. He has started every game of his career, a streak of 192 regular-season starts that ranks second only to Brett Favre in NFL history.

Oregon Boots Player Over Facebook Post

Oregon Boots Player Over Facebook Post – Oregon football coach Chip Kelly dismissed player Jamere Holland from the team because of an expletive-filled Facebook post.

Kelly said in a statement released by the school that Holland was dismissed for violating team rules, but didn’t elaborate.

Asked by reporters if the dismissal was related to Holland’s Facebook post on Saturday, the coach said: “I won’t get into the specifics, but you’re smart enough to figure it out.”

Jamere Holland updated his Facebook status after linebacker Kristian Kiko Alonso was arrested early Saturday on suspicion of driving under the influence of intoxicants.

Kristian Alonso was the fourth Oregon player arrested in the last month.

In his post, Jamere Holland mistakenly concluded Alonso had been kicked off the team and blasted the dismissal as unfair and damaging to the Ducks in a profanity-laced rant.

Holland wrote in a later post: “I wish I could block whites as friends and only have blacks LOL, cause apparently I’m misunderstood.”

School spokesman Dave Williford said Kristian Alonso remains on the team, “contrary to Internet reports, rumors and Jamere Holland.”

Athletic director Mike Bellotti, who was the football coach when Holland transferred to Oregon from USC after the 2006 season, told reporters that he was frustrated with Holland.

“We’ve given this guy so many chances,” Bellotti said. “We’ve had many sit-down, very serious talks.”

Holland had only 17 catches for 252 yards and two touchdowns in two years with Oregon.

Luge Death At Olympics

Luge Death At Olympics – Vancouver Olympics luge contender Nodar Kumaritashvili was killed in a horrific crash on Whistler mountain just hours before the opening ceremony.

Olympic officials say that Kumaritashvili lost control of his luge sled at 80 mph, bouncing off both walls of the final and most dangerous turn on the course – an extremely sharp 270 degree turn – before flying over the edge and hitting an unpadded metal pole head first.

Track and medical workers dashed to his side and began performing CPR as an ambulance raced to the side of the track.

21-year-old Kumaritashvili was then placed on a stretcher with blood literally pouring from his head and taken away in an ambulance.

An International Olympic Committee official confirmed that the Georgian luger died before reaching the hospital.

Luge training runs were suspended as Olympic officials met to review the situation as there has been speculation that the track is too fast.

The Whistler course at the vancouver Olympics is considered to be both the fastest and most dangerous in the world.

Nodar Kumaritashvili was one of just eight athletes in Georgia’s Olympic delegation and Georgia is reportedly considering withdrawing their team.
