The wheeling and dealing \u2013 not to mention the rumor mongering \u2013 continues in the NFL as we kick off the week\u2019s news.<\/p>\n
NFL news: T.O. to Bengals? Roethlisberger to courtroom?<\/strong><\/p>\n We shouldn\u2019t be surprised, should we? The Bengals have made a living picking prickly personalities off the scrap heap; two seasons ago, it was Cedric Benson. Last year it was Larry Johnson. Could Terrell Owens be next? The Bengals are reportedly thinking about bringing the over-the-hill wideout on board. The thought of T.O. and Chad Ochocinco celebrating touchdowns together is pretty mindboggling.<\/p>\n Speaking of mindboggling \u2013 how about another sexual assault accusation for Ben Roethlisberger? Police are investigating him after a Georgia college student claimed he sexually assaulted her early Friday morning. The incident allegedly happened in the small town of Milledgeville and the police are expected to provide an update on the investigation today.<\/p>\n Back to the good news. Some more signings happened over the weekend, the first of 2010 free agency. The Jaguars snagged Aaron Kampmann while the Packers retained Chad Clifton and the Patriots held onto Vince Wilfork.<\/p>\n NBA news: Lakers lost three straight for first time in two years<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s not exactly time to panic but a three-game losing streak is enough to raise eyebrows when you\u2019re the Los Angeles Lakers.<\/p>\n On their home court, the Orlando Magic edged them in a thriller on Sunday, Kobe Bryant had a chance to beat the buzzer but missed, sealing the 96-94 win for Orlando in an NBA Finals rematch.<\/p>\n Sigh. Today\u2019s sign of the apocalypse: Cleveland Cavaliers fans set a record Friday night for \u201clargest gathering of people wearing fleece blankets.\u201d Yes, everyone in the crowd was wearing a Snuggie. I have to say \u2013 as comfy as those things are, I can\u2019t stand the static. I get a shock if I put one on. Looks like the Spurs\u2019 usual plan of waiting until the second half to \u201ctry\u201d may backfire this year. Tony Parker broke his hand in San Antonio\u2019s victory over Memphis on Saturday night and is expected to miss up to six weeks. Can the Spurs make the playoffs without him?<\/p>\n NHL news: Savard gets rocked; Letterman gets snubbed<\/strong><\/p>\n It was too good to be true \u2013 we\u2019d gone several weeks without a high-profile player taking a head shot. Sunday, Marc Savard became the latest casualty of the world\u2019s fastest game. He took a blindside shoulder to the head from Matt Cooke and was carted off on a stretcher Sunday night.<\/p>\n Is Sid the Kid\u2019s head getting too big after winning the gold medal for Canada with an overtime goal?<\/p>\n He declined an invitation to appear on Late Night with David Letterman last week. Hmmm. I suppose he was eager to return to the busy NHL life but (a) hockey could\u2019ve really used the extra PR and (b) was it really that much of a stretch for him?<\/p>\n The Pens were visiting the Rangers last week. How bad would a talk-show appearance have been? Wrong move, Sid.<\/p>\n <\/strong> Sports water cooler headlines and sports gossip for Monday March 8th, 2010.
