At this point in the New England-Buffalo game, you’ve probably already changed the channel if you’re a Bills’ fan. Or you’ve clubbed your television set with a baseball bat. Both are very therapeutic.
But on a more serious note — and one that goes beyond the realm of football — there was some fantastic news coming from Kevin Everett himself. Everett, in a statement broadcast on the Jumbotron in Buffalo just before kickoff, thanked the fans and his teammates for the support he has received and noted that his condition is improving.
Everitt suffered a life-threatening spinal cord injury in the first game of the season. But while the injury will keep Everett from every stepping foot on a playing field again, it won’t keep him from doing most anything else: he’s expected to make a full recovery.
