Sports News – NFL news: Owners, union back at the table with deadline extended; former Raider Smith charged with murder; Burress out of jail June 6<\/strong><\/p>\n

NFL News: Owners + CBA Take Center Stage Once Again<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The NFL owners and players union haven\u2019t given up hope on a new collective bargaining agreement just yet. After agreeing last week to extend the deadline for the current CBA\u2019s expiry to this coming Friday, the two sides will return to the table today. They\u2019ve negotiated for 11 of the past 15 days. If no deal is struck by Friday, owners may opt to lock out the players heading into the 2011 season.<\/p>\n

Anthony Wayne Smith, a defensive end who played for the Raiders from 1991-98, is one of three men charged with murdering Maurilio Ponce in October2008. He, Dewann Wesley White and Charles Eric Honest were charged last month and arrested last week. What\u2019s with all three guys having triple names?<\/p>\n

Plaxico Burress\u2019 jail sentence is almost finished. He went to jail in September 2009 after accidentally shooting himself in the leg and pleading guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon. In the end, he\u2019ll serve 21 months; he\u2019ll be released three months early on June 6 for good behavior. It remains to be seen if a team will take a chance on the former Pro Bowl wideout.<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, the Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers have rewarded coach Mike McCarthy with a multi-year contract extension. He\u2019s 53-34 since taking over in 2006.<\/p>\n

MLB news: Umpires, players meet to discuss strained relationship; Frank Catalanotto retires<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maybe the Armando Galarraga incident last summer was the last straw? Baseball umpires and the MLB players association met yesterday to discuss their rocky relationship yesterday. Among the issues discussed were increased complaints from the players about certain umpires and the transparency with which umpires are disciplined for their actions toward players.<\/p>\n

Frank \u201cLittle Cat\u201d Catalanotto\u2019s Major League Baseball career is over. The 36-year-old outfielder announced his retirement on Sunday. He batted .291 over his 14-year career with the Tigers, Rangers, Blue Jays, Brewers and Mets.<\/p>\n

NBA news: Heat players \u201ccrying\u201d over choking problems; Eric Gordon hurt again; Chris Paul concussed; Mark Cuban teaming up with Charlie Sheen?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Looks like the Miami Heat players aren\u2019t immune to all the criticism they\u2019ve taken all year \u2013 especially the recent barbs about their inability to beat other contenders and perform in the clutch. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Miami is 1-9 against the NBA\u2019s top five teams and 1-16 in games decided on the final possession. Wow. It\u2019s no wonder the guys have started crying. After last night\u2019s one-point defeat to the Chicago Bulls, Miami\u2019s fourth in a row, head coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters \u201cthis is painful for every single one of us to go through this, there are a couple of guys crying in the locker room.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eric Gordon can\u2019t catch a break…or, well, can\u2019t stop catching breaks. In his second game since returning from a broken wrist, he took a hard foul from Timofey Mozgov, hit the floor and chipped the bone in that same wrist. The Clippers\u2019 leading scorer is expected to miss seven to 10 days.<\/p>\n

Chris Paul\u2019s frustrating season got worse yesterday. He left the court on a stretcher after slamming his head against Ramon Sessions while diving for a loose ball and has since been diagnosed with a concussion. He\u2019s out indefinitely.<\/p>\n

The Phoenix Suns\u2019 playoff push took a hit over the weekend \u2013 maybe. Channing Frye dislocated his shoulder against Oklahoma City on Sunday but did manage to pop it back into place. So who knows how much time, if any, he\u2019ll miss?<\/p>\n

Charlie Sheen has absolutely lost his mind and taken over all news media over the last few weeks. So it was only a matter of time before Mark Cuban got his hands on him, I suppose. Cuban is in talks to set up a Sheen TV show on HDNet, which Cuban owns. It could be a reality show, or a talk show, or maybe just an hour of Sheen making out with ex-porn stars. We don\u2019t know yet. The show is in its development phase.<\/p>\n
