Chris Simms underwent emergency surgery

Immediately after Sundays loss to the Panther, Tampa Bay Quarterback underwent emergency surgery to remove his spleen. They aren’t sure when the injury occured but he did leave the game in the 3rd quarter but returned on the very next drive. He had a 2 yard touchdown run in the third quarter and was flipped into the endzone and came down hard on his ribs. It could’ve happened then. The team Doctor, Dr. Joseph Diaco said “Chris Simms suffered an injury to his spleen during (Sunday’s) game and was taken to the hospital. He underwent a spleenectomy. He’s in stable condition. Chris is doing well and we expect a full recovery.” Simms mom told NBC that he would be hospitalized for a few days. I’m glad the Panthers won but I hate that Simms got hurt. The 2nd picture is Simms after a hit byPanthers Defensive End Al Wallace. I got this information from The Ledger Online site of The Lakeland, FL newspaper

Panthers pulled it off

What a day. The Panthers barely escaped. They started out by going up 20-7 in the first half and then blew the lead. They were saved by John Kasay’s 48 yard field goal with 2 seconds to go. Kasy connected on field goals of 51, 50, 49, and 48 today to give me 20 points in my fantasy football league. Steve Smith returned and had 112 yards but the day belonged to Keyshawn Johnson who had 97 yards with a receiving touchdown and a rushing one. Now if I can just get 10 points from Alge Crumpler and Warrick Dunn combined tomorrow night I’ll win my first fantasy football game.
