DENVER (AP) -- The Denver Broncos suspended
Daryl Gardener for two more games after
he lashed out publicly at head coach Mike
Shanahan for an earlier one-game suspension.
The original suspension was for unspecified
conduct detrimental to the team. Gardener
responded by telling a Denver radio station
last week that he didn't believe Shanahan
wants him on the team and called the coach
''that little man up there.''
Those comments violated a clause in every
NFL contract requiring players to give their
best efforts and loyalty to their team,
the Broncos said in a statement.

with filing a false police report. If convicted,
she could face up to four years in jail.
Anderson never faced charges in the case.
