Memphis player taken to hospital

A Memphis player en route to the airport had to be removed from the team bus and taken to a hospital when he complained of chest pains. The unidentified player was taken off the bus about 11:18 p.m., said Rural/Metro spokeswoman Kim Sepesi.

The team bus stopped on Alcoa Highway at Cherokee Trail to allow an ambulance to pick up the player. The player was taken to the nearby University of Tennessee Medical Center emergency room, Sepesi said. The player's condition was not available.

Yikes. I hope this guy is OK, and it was a false alarm. You don't hear often about a 20 year old getting chest pains.

Pd - I think you're a little out of line here, man.

This is a Gay-turd fan trying to make Vol fans look like idiot rednecks. Nice try loser! You're not fooling anyone with that banana in the tailpipe trick.
