Once again, football injuries steal the top headlines in today\u2019s news.<\/p>\n
NFL news: Ryan Grant out for season; Bob Sanders\u2019 season in jeopardy; Patriots trade Laurence Maroney to Denver<\/strong><\/p>\n So much for Packers running back Ryan Grant only missing a week or two, as he originally hoped. Turns out he had a fracture near his knee on top of his high ankle sprain and he\u2019s out for the season. Brandon Jackson takes over as Green Bay\u2019s featured back.<\/p>\n Is there a more injury-prone player in football than Bob Sanders? The Colts safety tore his biceps tendon against the Houston Texans on Sunday and will probably miss the rest of the season. He\u2019s played nine games in the last three years and, if you included 2010, will have missed 10 or more regular-season games in five of his seven pro seasons.<\/p>\n The New England Patriots tired with enigmatic running back Laurence Maroney and shipped him to the Denver Broncos yesterday along with a sixth-round pick for a fourth-rounder in 2011. The Broncos hope coach Josh McDaniels, Maroney\u2019s former offensive co-ordinator, can get more out of him.<\/p>\n Clinton Portis offered his opinion on scandal involving Ines Sainz, the beauty queen-turned reporter who called out the New York Jets for making her feel uncomfortable in the locker room. Portis suggested that \u201cif you get to get and look at 53 men\u2019s bodies,\u201d she\u2019s going to \u201cwant somebody.\u201d After the league condemned his statements, he issued an apology today, saying he respects \u201cthe job that all reporters do. It\u2019s a tough job and we all have to work and act in a professional manner.\u201d<\/p>\n NHL news: Bobby Ryan re-signs with Ducks; Coyotes sign Eric Belanger; Luongo relinquishes captaincy<\/strong><\/p>\n After a summer\u2019s worth of trade rumors, sniper Bobby Ryan will remain an Anaheim Duck after all. The 23-year-old restricted free agent signed a five-year, $25.5- million deal. He notched 30-plus goals in each of his first two full NHL seasons. <\/p>\n Nine-year veteran center Eric Belanger is now a Phoenix Coyote. The two-way forward signed a one-year deal, leaving behind the Washington Capitals. Terms weren\u2019t disclosed. Belanger scored a career-high 41 points last year.<\/p>\n In 2008, the Vancouver Canucks made Roberto Luongo the NHL\u2019s first goalie captain in 60 years. But the title is his no longer. Luongo relinquished his captaincy on Monday. He says he loved being captain and agonized over the decision but that the extra media attention that comes with being a captain was distracting.<\/p>\n Also, Luongo said it was difficult to criticize his teammates\u2019 defensive play as a captain without being viewed as a goalie blaming his teammates.<\/p>\n NBA news: LeBron James one of sports\u2019 most hated athletes<\/strong><\/p>\n According to Q Score, the company that polls the general population to learn about their opinions on athletes, \u201cThe Decision\u201d has made LeBron James one of sports\u2019 most hated figures. He is now the sixth-most disliked figure, trailing only Michael Vick, Tiger Woods, Terrell Owens, Chad Ochocinco and Kobe Bryant.<\/p>\n NCAA football news: Reggie Bush officially forfeits Heisman Trophy<\/strong><\/p>\n We knew it was coming but Reggie Bush made it official on Tuesday. The former USC Trojan became the first player in the Heisman Trophy\u2019s 75-year history to forfeit the award.<\/p>\n Bush, who was deemed ineligible for the 2005 season after accepting illegal gifts, insisted that \u201cin no way should the storm around these allegations reflect in any way on the dignity of this award, nor on any other institutions or individuals.<\/p>\n Comments are welcome below!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong> Sports water cooler headlines and sports gossip for Wednesday September 15th, 2010.
