It was a topsy-turvy week in the world of sports.
One of the best players in the NFL learned he may have a career-ending injury. One college football team set the NCAA record for Wackiest Uniforms Worn In A Game. And one sport, our beloved football, triumphantly returned to television sets across the nation.
LOSER: Peyton Manning
Peyton had yet another neck surgery this week in a last-ditch effort to correct a potentially career-ending injury.
This news hurts his Colts teammates, Indy fans, and Manning fantasy owners, but more than anything it's just sad news a guy who could have his legendary career cut short.
LOSER: Plaxico Burress
Plax followed in LeBron's footsteps by committing one of the cardinal sins for athletes — patronizing the lives of fans.
Here's what he told Men's Journal about fans who were happy he went to jail:
"What are you doing now? You still mad at your job? You still angry about your life? 'Cause I’m back living my life and enjoying my family while you’re still doing the same thing."
LOSER: Rex Ryan
Always contemptuous, Ryan stepped over the line this week by threatening Cowboys fans.
In an interview Ryan warned Dallas fans that they ought not wear their Cowboys gear at MetLife Stadium.
Yes, it was said in some degree of jest, but still, you can't say stuff like that given all the tragedies at sporting events this summer.
