Apparently that's the source, I don't know anything about staph but is there a reason why the Browns have had 6 players come down with it over the last few years? Is it something that can be avoided if you're not an inept professional sports franchise? Maybe it's just in the air in Cleveland.

Wasn't that LeCharles Bentley? Or did Winslow get it too? If so, I didn't know that. I still feel bad for Bentley. The guy should be a perennial Pro Bowler in this league right now, instead of being retired for four years. As you said about Winslow, Bentley's lucky he didn't die(I guess at one point his doctor didn't think he'd make it through the night).

Wow, if that is true Big Ben and the Steelers are in a lot of trouble.

Crabtree is wanting to be paid more than a 10th pick. Niners are saying nope. Hopefully the kid smartens up.

Yeah, Maclin hasn't signed yet either. These kids let the wrong people get in their ears and things are going to go bad.

Sean McDermott has officially replaced Jim Johnson as the Eagles defensive coordinator while Johnson battles melanoma. Hopefully he makes a full recovery.

RENO, Nev. (AP) -- The woman suing quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for alleged sexual assault has been accused of bragging about having consensual sex with him to a co-worker.
According to court documents filed late Friday, Angela Antonetti said the woman who made the rape claim "did not appear to be upset, stressed-out or nervous" about her time with the Pittsburgh Steelers star during a 2008 celebrity golf tournament at Lake Tahoe.
Antonetti says her Harrah's hotel-casino co-worker "appeared happy and boastful" about it and later said she thought she might be pregnant from the encounter.
Lawyer Cal Dunlap, who represents the woman, declined to comment.
In her lawsuit, the 31-year-old Nevada woman says the two-time Super Bowl winner raped her, a claim he vehemently denies.

I'm stunned that a woman who works at a casino and tries to bang athletes turned out to be a piece of trash.
