KEVIN WARE: RECOVERING FROM SURGERY, NON CRUTCHES
Fewer than 24 hours after suffering a truly gruesome
leg break on national television, Louisville guard Kevin
Ware is up and walking around.
In a new Twitter photo making the Internet rounds, the 20-year old
basketball player is standing in an Indiana hospital room, his right left fully
bandaged after surgery to repair a break in two places.
Doctors inserted a rod into Ware's tibia
during a two-hour procedure that sources say went very well.
After snapping the bone in half - and having it protrude through his
skin - during the first half of Louisville's win over Duke yesterday, Ware is
hoping to join his squad for its appearance in the Final Four next weekend.
He won't play, of course, but physicians say he should be able to
return to the court at some point.
LOCAL MAYOR PUSHES FOR MTV TO CANCEL BUCKWILD
It's been referred to as the southern Jersey Shore, but there's
officially nothing funny any longer about Buckwild.
Not after 21-year old star Shain
Gandee was found dead in a truck today, his corpse discovered along with
two others in a vehicle that was buried up to its windows in mud.
In response to the incident - along with separate recent arrests for
cast members Salwa Amin and Michael Burford in connection with drugs and drunk
driving, respectively - Danny Jones has a message for MTV.
"The show only enhances the negative
stereotype the Kanawha Valley already has," says the Mayor of Charleston,
West Virginia. "I hope the show’s life is short.”
It is believed that Gandee, his uncle and an unidentified woman all
died from accidental
carbon monoxide poisoning, though the Sheriff's Office is yet to issue a
report.
Just a few months ago, West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin slammed the
series as a "travesty" that makes money off shameful behavior; he
urged MTV to cancel it even before it hit the air.
