Tattoos,
jewelry part of new image for Bryant
LOS
ANGELES -- Kobe Bryant built an image on
and off the court as clean cut and well
mannered, and it made him a good-guy role
model and landed him millions in endorsements.
As his eighth and most scrutinized NBA season
begins, he is expressing himself in ways
fans and teammates hadn't seen. He has new
tattoos, a diamond earring the size of a
marble, and rides a motorcycle.
Angry
Roy Jones Jr. looks forward to Tarver
LAS
VEGAS -- Roy Jones Jr. is angry, and that
could mean trouble for Antonio Tarver. Trying
to find some motivation for moving back
to light heavyweight after winning the heavyweight
title, Jones seems to have found it for
Saturday night's fight against the man who
inherited his 175-pound titles.
Callahan
meets with Woodson
ALAMEDA,
Calif. (AP) -- Oakland Raiders coach Bill
Callahan met with cornerback Charles Woodson
on Wednesday after being criticized by the
four-time Pro Bowler.
"I
had a conversation with Charles today,"
Callahan said after practice. "It was
very positive. We're moving forward."
Twice
in five days Woodson complained about the
second-year coach. Woodson said Callahan
was stubborn and had lost control of his
team, and that the Raiders were falling
apart.
On
Monday, Callahan called the comments "inappropriate
and inaccurate" and said he would deal
with the situation when he was ready.
Woodson,
meanwhile, could be seen moving four large
boxes on a dolly into the players' parking
lot Wednesday afternoon while his teammates
were finishing up with special teams work.
Was
the hard labor some form of punishment?
"They're
kicking me out," Woodson said with
a grin.
