DALLAS (AP) -- Former Dallas Cowboys running back Ron Springs was recovering Thursday after receiving a kidney donated by former teammate Everson Walls.

The transplant operation was performed Wednesday at Medical City Hospital in Dallas.

A news conference was being planned for Friday on the transplant, which officials believe is the first time former U.S. professional sports teammates have shared an organ.

What a great story.

Definitely. I've seen this story on ESPN, and it's just excellent. Walls is a class act, and so is Springs.
