The last time Pittsburgh Steelers free safety Ryan Clark played an NFL game in Denver (Oct. 21, 2007), he became “almost deathly ill, eventually had his spleen and gall bladder removed during surgery, lost 30 pounds and did not play again that season,” according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Clark suffered a medical reaction in his blood because of the sickle cell trait. This season, the Steelers travel to Denver for a Monday night matchup against the Broncos, and though Clark has received medical clearance to play, some of his teammates are speaking out on the matter. Receiver Hines Ward told the newspaper on Monday afternoon: “If it were me, no I wouldn’t go. You know what? Football’s second when it comes to someone’s life. Life is more important than football to me.”

CBS announcer Gus Johnson apologized on Tuesday after making a controversial remark describing Titans RB Chris Johnson on Sunday. As Chris Johnson broke through the Jaguars’ defense for a 52-yard TD run, Gus Johnson, in his excitable style, said of the Titans tailback, “He’s got getting-away-from-the-cops speed!” Gus Johnson gave this statement about the comment to USA TODAY’s Michael Hiestand: “If there is a perception of racism in this analogy, it is not coming from me. People of all races have run from the law. However, to those who are offended, I apologize.”

Like Ryan Clark, Santonio Holmes, too, has the sickle-cell trait, which he only discovered this year. Unlike Clark, Holmes played in Denver two years ago without any adverse health problems other than one visiting players experienced for decades in Mile High Stadium. “I just had a lot of trouble breathing when I was up there last time,” Holmes said yesterday. “I was in there before the game, I went out and I was trying to catch my breath and I couldn’t do it, so I stayed in [the locker room] a little bit longer [before] coming out on the field.”

They’re the last one standing, without a win, but that doesn’t make the 0-7 predicament the Tampa Bay Buccaneers find themselves in embarrassing to first-year coach Raheem Morris. “Embarrassment would be your word,” Morris said. “There’s never a sense of embarrassment. The only thing we do
I’m not interested in sharing misery with anybody else in the league. I’m not interested in who else doesn’t have a win, I’m interested in getting our own win. That’s our job, that’s what we have to do. We’re responsible to go out and win every day. I’m not interested in sharing anything with the Rams, with the Titans, whoever else is. That’s not my job. Our job is to go out and get our first victory. That’s the only thing you can look at.”
