Bad news to Dallas fans
 

[QUOTE]Dallas Cowboys: Marco Rivera, the ex-Packers Pro Bowl guard who last week received a $9 million signing bonus to sign a free agent contract with the Cowboys, underwent back surgery Thursday in Dallas after experiencing pain while running on a treadmill, sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

Rivera, 32, is expected to be inactive for four-to-six weeks after surgery that repaired a L-5 disk problem, the sources said. He experienced significant pain in a leg when he was running on a treadmill Wednesday morning in Baltimore, where he was honored at the annual Ed Bloch Awards.

Rivera underwent the operation in Dallas and was said to be resting comfortably at Presbyterian Hospital. Rivera is expected to recover in time for training camp in late July, sources said.

A Cowboys spokesman had no comment about Rivera's status.[/QUOTE]

Peter King has yet to comment on how back surgery will affect Rivera's [URL=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/writers/peter_king/03/07/mmqb/index.html]inevitable Pro Bowl season.[/URL]

lol. Have I mentioned I hate Peter King?

Re: Bad news to Dallas fans
 

I hate when people get injured... BUT at least we should see Bledsoe on his back some more this year. :)

Re: Bad news to Dallas fans
 

The ink wasn't even dry. It will be intresting to see if Dallas looks in to see if this was known prior to him signing his contract. Dallas took the lead this year paying older players big bucks to sign with them. They obviously missed how that blew up in our face. I hope their luck is as bad as ours was signing these older players.

Re: Bad news to Dallas fans
 

I'd love to see them end up with an even WORSE record this year. Everyone was all like, "Oh, they'll get worse before they get better." I think they're just going to get worse. They'll end up 2-14 because we can NEVER beat those assholes! (JK, we WILL beat them this year.)

Maybe he's their version of Dave Fiore?!

Let's hope so.

Re: Bad news to Dallas fans
 

While I don't wish personal injury on anyone, it is nice to see anything that hurts the Cowboys as a team!

Re: Bad news to Dallas fans
 

I agree. Even though deep down (at least I know I am) I am relieved when an opposiing player is "incapacitated" in any way. I'll be honest.

I Gues The Poo Birds Do Fly Across Other Teams Complexes. And What Better Team To Speckle Than The Silver Stars Of Tex "r" Us. Lolol

Re: Bad news to Dallas fans
 

Couldn't happen to a nicer team. I'd love a good ole fashion mass casualty year for the Cowturds this coming year. We went through a decent one last year and it wasn't fun. It's someone else turn and my vote is them. Maybe Parcells' head will explode if they lose 10 or so games. That would be entertainging to see Parcells have a meltdown and end up huddled up and crying in Jerry Jones' arms asking not to be fired. Of how sweet that would be.

Re: Bad news to Dallas fans
 

In the words of Nelson Muntz... HA HA!

Re: Bad news to Dallas fans
 

Nelson's my boy.

Re: Bad news to Dallas fans
 

Parcells in the fetal position. Sweet dreams are made of this.

Re: Bad news to Dallas fans
 

I couldn't have happened to a better team!! :FIREdevil

Re: Bad news to Dallas fans
 

That's why they have that special hole cut out of their stadium...

So God can watch them play my ass...:vomit-smi

Re: Bad news to Dallas fans
 

I'd actually be content in going 2-14 just as long as we sweep those pretentious rednecks.

Re: Bad news to Dallas fans
 

It takes a very steady hand... :oink:

Re: Bad news to Dallas fans
 

Somewhere Mike Barrow is saying "See.. it really does happen to other guys right after they sign a brand new contract."

Re: Bad news to Dallas fans
 

Screw the Cowboys. I wish Dan S. would allow Gibbs to run the team, even bring in his own GM. Synder keeps playing Jerry Jones-Gibbs is gonna walk.

Re: Bad news to Dallas fans
 

If you read the interviews, Gibbs is saying he is staying for the long term. He's got a few more years on his contract and he is definitely invested in building this team.

Re: Bad news to Dallas fans
 

I don't think Gibbs is frustrated in the least. He picked out the players that he wanted last year and Dan opened up the checkbook. It sounds like the working relationship might not be as bad as you might think.

I hate that when Cowboy fans say the hole in the roof is so God can watch them play..............that's bull sh*&#$.......there's a hole in the roof so God can use the stadium as his toilet............... :Flush:

Re: Bad news to Dallas fans
 

Well some good news/bad news the injury is similar to the one that forced Woodsen to retire......but they said he has a chance for recovery if there isn't any nerve damage....and could be ready for training camp in July..............:(
