Eric Berry Undergoes Surgery

by Joel Thorman on Sep 29, 2011 2:35 PM CDT

Good news, Kansas City Chiefs fans. Eric Berry had surgery in Florida for his torn ACL this morning and he tweets that all went well.

Surgery was straight. Really appreciate everyone's prayers. Doc was kinda freaked out cuz he found out I bleed orange. forgot to tell him.

Bleeding orange sounds like a reference to Berry's Tennessee Vols but he explains the formula like this: "red+yellow=orange=vols=chiefs."

The year-long recovery process starts....now.

That makes me sad.

Insert witty yet thought provoking phrase here.

Immediately after sewing him up the doctor declared, "There, he's already better than Piscitelli and McGraw"

Can't wait

to see him slide on the ground after a huge deflection week 1 next year!!

Get well Berry!

Can you think of the knowledge he will gain watching the rest of the games, he’s gonna be stupid smart w/ this defense.

TO JOEL THORMAN!

Don’t want to make a fanshot or email about this so just a quick question. Any way we can get a google + button by the tweet and facebook like buttons at the top of each story?

I don’t know if that is a SBnation thing or something you guys can do, but with Google + being officially released and gaining momentum (I and my friends use it at least!) it would be pretty awesome. Thanks!
