BALTIMORE, MARYLAND
There have been reports that Colorado's star kicker/punter Micycle McCormick has been rushed to the hospital in an unknown condition. These reports surfaced no more than half an hour after the game had ended, leading to speculation about a confrontation between players in the locker room.
New Yeti Co-GM Bobert Stevenson, who was planning on traveling home with the team until the incident, quickly put a rest to those rumors.
"There was absolutely no argument or fight in our locker room. What happened to Micycle was, quite frankly, a freak accident," Stevenson said. "Micycle is known as a bit of a klutz, and let's just say that bit him pretty badly here. I think he'll be okay as a person, but his career might be in jeopardy."
When pressed for more details, Stevenson said that they will release more information as time comes, but the team's priorities for now lie in ensuring Micycle has a full recovery. Team officials said that McCormick was scheduled for emergency surgery at 1:00 AM, and that they will re-evaluate the situation from there.
"Currently we plan on letting McCormick recover from his surgery back home in New Jersey, and we'll let him decide," said Stevenson. "We aren't sure what is going to happen from this point on, but we have to play it by ear. If he can return, that would be huge for the team, but if he can't, we will find ways to continue forward."
The Yeti locker room itself has remained fairly mum on the situation, but it was clear something serious had occurred. Wide receiver Howard Miller was overheard saying that something "pretty f'ed up" happened to the captain, but wouldn't mention anything specific about it to the press.
"Micycle is a resilient player, and I'm sure he will do everything in his power to get back from this," Miller told reporters, excusing the shake in his voice as a result of both the playoff defeat and the injury shortly after. "We're not really allowed to comment on his situation at the moment, and quite frankly none of us really want to think back to that moment right now. Just focused on getting better for next year, and I'm sure Micycle will be a part of it somehow."
With questions coming up in the offseason regarding QB Ryan Applehort opting out of his contract and now another cornerstone player in McCormick possibly retiring, is it time to call the Yeti rebuild a failure? Or does their close playoff loss to the heavy favorites in Baltimore show that they can compete at the highest level? Fans and critics alike will have to wait and see.
