DMN Blog: Ron Springs ... really bad news (prayers please)

Ron Springs, the retired Cowboys running back who received a kidney transplant from his friend and ex-teammate Everson Walls in February, is in a coma in a Dallas hospital.

I just spoke to one of Ron's former teammates who has visited him several times and he reports the situation "is not good."

Ron went into the hospital to have a cyst removed from one of his arms and things went bad in surgery, his ex-teammate said.

Ron's son Shawn, a defensive back with the Washington Redskins, has left the team to be with his father.
