Denver Broncos head coach John Fox is expected to have heart valve surgery this week that could sideline him for up to two months, according to a team official. One person debriefed on the details believed this was not a condition to risk and considered surgery likely. Source: ESPN.com SteveRobWhatever's Take: Word is Fox knew of a pre-existing condition but was hoping to put off having surgery until after the season ended. Damn, he was willing to risk a heart attack over going under the knife. He knows this is the best shot he's got at a ring. Hopefully he'll be back in time for the playoff run.
A heart condition is nothing to play around with. Getting whatever needs to be done ASAP is smart instead of waiting 2 or 3 months down the road.
