When Art Bell announced his retirement due to back problems, he said that he hurt his back after he was working on a telephone pole, when he was trying to fix something, felt unsteady, and for some reason, decided to "push off" of the pole and fall backwards, as opposed to hugging the pole and sliding down it. \n   Art Bell described how he injured his back that night, when he said, "I landed on my elbows and my [censored]." Art later said that when he landed, he twisted his back in some odd way. \n  As to the nature of Art Bell's injury, he said that he had several MRIs and the doctors told him that it was "sciatic nerve damage" and that at the time, they told Art that his back was not going to get any better. The doctors suggested to Art that he should have back surgery, but that there was only a 50/50 chance that the surgery would be a success for him. Art said that they told him that if the surgery went well, his back would feel great for 1 year, but then would be worse than it was before the surgery and that if the surgery failed, then Art Bell would be in worse condition than he already was.

Albert was a free agent after his years with the Chicago White Sox.  He moved on to the Baltimore Orioles for 2 years before he "walked away" from the game.  There was never a press conference announcing he had retired, he simply walked away into the sunset.  He was on the Hall of Fame ballot for the first time this year and did not get many votes at all....\n\nNowadays...who knows.  He may be in prison somewhere because of his hot temper.

Haven't heard that one. The problem with Connolly is that the concussion he suffered has not completely healed yet. He is still having symptoms. They have been referring to this as "post-concussion syndrome". From what I have heard the symptoms are similar to what Pat LaFontaine was experiencing from a concussion he received which eventually ended his career. I wouldn't be surprised if Connolly never plays professional hockey again. This would be sad because he is a very talented player.

Katzenmoyer suffered a neck injury during his first season with the Patriots that eventually forced him to have surgery and miss half of the 2000 season. During training camp in 2001, Katzenmoyer walked out without permission, citing concern about a feeling in his neck. He was placed on injured reserve for the remainder of the season. The Patriots cut Katzenmoyer before the beginning of the 2002 season, and he has not returned to professional football

Yes..look up Kelvin Seabrooks. He was the IBF World Champion and The US Olympic Trials Bronze Medalist for 1987. He is also ESPN"S fighter of the decade. He fought more than he was supposed to over the years and received brain damage as a result. I've known him for years. He talks as if he has had a stroke in his mouth. His thinking can be off a times and as a result of his injuries he can't box anymore. He is a security guard at a local school. So i would say if a fighter doesn't get out soon enough the same thing can happen to them!   http://www.withinthering.com/Default.aspx?NavigationID=395

If it's been going on that long, what do the doctor's say?\nLow back problems include spondylitis, lumbar stenosis, fractures of the vertebrae, inter-vertebrae disc problems, and possibly something pressing on the spine.\nThere's a mountain of information on any of the internet's quality medical websites like http://www.webmd.com

Let's see - I have strained my neck as well.  I also have pulled a number of muscles over the years, gotten a concussion once (the guy slammed me to the mat), a lot of mat burns, got an elbow to the eye (a nice shiner), and probably the two worst injuries were a broken nose and a dislocated elbow.  Nothing life threatening, though.

Goldberg gave him a serious concussion that meant he had to stop wrestling. He also recently had a stroke which meant that wrestling is a no-no.\n\nto Jersey. The Survivor Series screwjob happened because Bret Hart was leaving the then WWF to go to WCW. Bret Hart left and his career was ended in 1999.

Running Back drops, then recovers, no turnover, for him, one fumble, no fumble lost (That's the bad one).\n\nRunning back (Or whatever) fumbles, defensive guy recovers, runs, fumbles, offensive play recovers, two fumbles, two fumbles lost.

according to one of the vets, his injury is very serious.  Sounds like he fractured two bones in his ankle and if it constricts a blood vessel, he's done.  What a sad event.  I love horse racing, and this horse had potential to win the triple crown.

Christian was suffering from chronic back injury. I believe he finally just called a good career quits.

To me, it sounds like overexertion and possibly a blood clot in his leg or somewhere else in his body, or dehydration, or a combination of something...but i'm not a doctor in any way...\n\nSorry for your loss...you have my condolences

He was off the roids for a while, but I think he may be on something again.  He's become an ugly human being again, like he was in 2004.  (Think back to Ken Caminiti at the end of his career)\n\nAlso he seems to be getting hurt more often.

Its a sad rumour that seems to have been started out of boredom. Dan Cloutier is currently sidelined because of surgery to his ACL and was playing until Nov. 20th. The rumoured accident happened on Nov. 11 (which was a hit and run that killed two people) and if he had been injured enough to have to have ACL surgery from that he wouldn't have played until Nov. 20th. Its just a sad rumour.
