Former Dallas RB Springs Falls Into Coma

Former Dallas Cowboys running back Ron Springs has been hospitalized in a coma, more than seven months after receiving a kidney donated by ex-teammate Everson Walls. The Washington Redskins said Tuesday that cornerback Shawn Springs, son of the 50-year-old Springs, has left the team to be with his father…In February, Walls donated his kidney to the ailing Springs, who had suffered from diabetes for 16 years and had been on the national transplant waiting list since 2004. It was the first transplant between two former U.S. professional athletes.

I sincerely apologize if any of these stories are duplicates of those included in other news threads…they just happened to be 3 which caught my attention but didn’t necessarily warrant essays independently.

Please don’t recommend the Pony Party….and without further ado, the floor is yours…

    Anyway, Hello all!
    Thank you for the ‘pony bits’ I like these wee stories being here…
