Football Update:
Two QBs seem to be on the mend. The Jaguars' David Garrard practiced with the team on Wednesday and could be back with the team against Tennessee on Sunday...Meanwhile, Denver Bronco Jay Culter looked good during practice on Wednesday after bruising his leg on Sunday...And Vinny Testaverde practiced with the Panthers while David Carr sat on the sidelines recovering from a concussion.

Popo in my crib News:
On the eve of his reinstatement into the NFL, Bengals reciever Chris Henry was involved in an altercation with a parking attendant in Newport, Ky. The parking attendant told the popo that Henry and a friend tried to park their SUV without paying. When the attendant conforted Henry he yelled at him saying "Don't you know who I am?" and then threw a $5 bill on the ground. Charges have not been filed, but this cannot be good for a player that was benched for eight games by the league for repeated policy violations. Watch out Chris, because the popo are on your tail!

At least one Atlanta Falcons player ended up on the right side of the law in an animal cruelty case. On Wednesday, charges filed against defensive tackle Jonathan Babineaux were dropped. The charges stemmed from a February incident in whichBabineaux said he was defending himself and his five year old son from a pit bull owned by his girlfriend. The dog had a history of violence. Watch out Jonathan, because the popo are on your tail!
