The Detroit Free Press has a story today about the recovery of former Bronco Gerald Alexander, who has missed much of the NFL season with a neck injury.
Alexander, a Detroit Lions safety and second-year pro, was injured Oct. 12 while trying to tackle Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson.
"I was heartbroken, man," Alexander told the newspaper. "It's like taking Christmas away from me. It's like Christmas every Sunday."

Go Broncos!
Its only the beginning.
Congrats and Get better soon
Kellen and Gerald, respectively.
Gerald! If you're bored and reading this...
Take it easy man! You need to realize that there is life for you *after* football, and regardless of how much us fans want to see a Bronco make news in the NFL, none of us want to see you screw up your life for a game. But here's hoping that your docs are really being ultra careful and you'll be back next year healthy and unphased by your injury.
GO BRONCOS! Mash the Frogs!
