Today’s Sports News – NFL news: Chad Ochocinco, Terrell Owens have falling out<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chad Ochocinco, Terrell Owens have falling out<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So much for the T.Ocho Show. <\/em>We should\u2019ve known that Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens could only coexist for so long before they had a falling out. They\u2019ve feuded all week over Twitter regarding quarterback Carson Palmer\u2019s decision to walk out on the Bengals.<\/p>\n

Ochocinco lashed out at T.O., claiming it\u2019s his fault that Palmer wants to retire and that he\u2019s being blamed for Owens\u2019 actions. He threatened to \u201cwhoop your [expletive]\u201d because of it. Owens responded by saying \u201cI should whoop your [expletive] 4 asking me 2 come 2 Cincy!\u201d<\/p>\n

Looks like Batman and Robin need a timeout.<\/p>\n

NBA news: Brandon Roy says he\u2019ll return next week; Blazers pursuing Devin Harris?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It looks like the Portland Trail Blazers could get some major reinforcements soon. First, there\u2019s Brandon Roy. He\u2019s been practicing with the Blazers and his bad knees reportedly feel good. He says he\u2019ll play next Wednesday against the Lakes.<\/p>\n

Secondly, is Portland after Devin Harris? The New Jersey Nets reportedly want to move him whether he\u2019s part of a Carmelo Anthony deal or not, as they \u201chave been unhappy with Devin Harris\u2019 level of play and commitment to the team lately.\u201d If a trade happens, New Jersey would likely receive Andre Miller and Rudy Fernandez while also giving Troy Murphy\u2019s contract to Portland.<\/p>\n

MLB news: Miguel Cabrera charged with drunk driving, resisting arrest; Albert Pujols laughs off contract numbers; Jays, Bautista near mega deal<\/p>\n

So much for Miguel Cabrera claiming he\u2019s \u201cclean.\u201d Turns out he hasn\u2019t stopped drinking after all. Late Wednesday night, he was arrested for drunk driving and also charged with resisting arrest. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A deputy in Port St. Lucie, Florida spotted Cabrera\u2019s car pulled over on the side of the road and found Cabrera drunk. He reportedly swigged a bottle of scotch in front of the deputy claimed \u201cI am going to [expletive] kill him,\u201d though he was alone in the car.<\/p>\n

Albert Pujols, his agent and the St. Louis Cardinals reportedly \u201chad a laugh\u201d at the reported contract numbers released by the media yesterday. \u201cYou guys are way off on what the numbers are you guys are throwing out there,\u201d Pujols said. Even though their negotiation deadline passed, Pujols also insisted that he wants to be a Cardinal for life. He added: \u201cIf you want to call me greedy, you don\u2019t know who I am.\u201d<\/p>\n

It looks like the Toronto Blue Jays are set to lock up slugger Jose Bautista with a five-year, $65-million extension. If Bautista can replicate his absurd, out-of-nowhere 54 homers and 124 RBI from 2010, the deal will be a bargain. If he returns to his borderline bench-player production of years past, the deal will look very bad. Not Vernon Wells bad, but bad.<\/p>\n

NHL news: Upper-body injury for Brad Richards; lower-body injury for Jean-Sebastien Giguere<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brad Richards, on his way to another outstanding season with 63 points in 56 games for the Dallas Stars, is out indefinitely with what is being called an upper-body injury for now. He was hurt in a collision late in Sunday\u2019s loss to Columbus. It\u2019s possible he suffered a concussion. He\u2019ll miss at least Dallas\u2019 next few games.<\/p>\n

The injury really complicates things for Dallas. Not only are the Stars in a dog fight for a Western Conference playoff berth, they had to ponder trading the soon-to-be-unrestricted free agent Richards before the deadline.<\/p>\n

Another guy rumored to be on the trading block, Jean-Sebastien Giguere, appeared to reinjure his groin during the Toronto Maple Leafs\u2019 win over Buffalo last week and is also out indefinitely.<\/p>\n
