Browns' Mangini expects Josh Cribbs to play Sunday

Eric Mangini expects Josh Cribbs to play when the Cleveland
Browns go against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Cribbs was
strapped to a backboard and carted off the field after the
last play of the Browns' 16-0 loss to Baltimore on Monday
night. He was briefly hospitalized with a possible neck
injury and concussion. Mangini says all of the measures
taken with Cribbs were precautionary and that all the tests
came back negative. Cribbs, Cleveland's special teams
standout and wide receiver, was listed as questionable
on Thursday's injury report.


Feds seek $631K verdict against ex-Steeler Blount

Federal attorneys want a judge to declare that Pittsburgh
Steelers Hall of Famer Mel Blount owes more than $631,000
in back taxes, interest and penalties. The Internal Revenue
Service filed a complaint in U.S. District Court in Pittsburgh
in September giving Blount 60 days to respond. Blount hasn't
filed a response to the lawsuit, and the U.S. attorney's
office in Pittsburgh on Thursday asked a judge to rule against
him. The IRS complaint says Blount owes the money for the
years 1994 to 2006. Court records don't list an attorney
for Blount and he has not responded to requests for comment
left at a youth home near Pittsburgh that bears his name.
The 61-year-old defensive back played on the Steelers' first
four Super Bowl teams.

Williams leads Dolphins over Panthers 24-17

-He may be 32, but Ricky Williams is far from done. And even
without Ronnie Brown, the once written-off Miami Dolphins are
back in the playoff picture. Williams rushed for 119 yards
and scored three touchdowns, and the Dolphins beat the Carolina
Panthers 24-17 on Thursday night for their fourth win in six games.
A day after learning Brown is lost for the season, the Dolphins
(5-5) continued their surge after an 0-3 start behind Williams.
The 2002 NFL rushing champion had a receiving and rushing
touchdown in the same game for the first time in his career
that included a couple of lost seasons. It was enough to beat
the Panthers (4-6) when Jake Delhomme's desperation pass into
the end zone was knocked down as time expired.

Stefanie Spielman, wife of NFL star, dies at 42

Stefanie Spielman, the wife of NFL and Ohio State star Chris
Spielman who led a public fight against breast cancer, died
Thursday after a lengthy battle with the disease. She was 42.
Stefanie Spielman died at the family's home in Upper Arlington,
surrounded by her family, said WBNS radio in Columbus, where
Chris Spielman co-hosts a show. "Stefanie has gone home to be
with the Lord," Chris Spielman said in a statement released by
the station. "For that, we celebrate, but with broken hearts.
I want to thank everyone for their support over the last 12
years. Together, with your help, hopefully we made a difference
in this fight." Stefanie Spielman was 30 years old and three
months pregnant in 1998 when she detected a lump in her breast.
She later miscarried and discovered she had cancer. She survived
four bouts with cancer before a fifth recurrence in March.
Chris Spielman was playing linebacker with the Buffalo Bills
when he decided to give up football for a year to stay home
with his wife and children. When his wife lost her hair because
of chemotherapy treatments, he shaved his head. "People say 'It's
a great thing that you're doing,"' Chris Spielman said at the
time. "I always say it would be a terrible thing if I didn't."
The Spielmans became advocates for breast-cancer detection and
research, winning several awards for their dedication to the
cause. They raised more than $6 million for breast cancer
research at Ohio State, where she also had attended school,
through the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research.
She helped form a support group for young women with breast
cancer, hosted an annual event that honored cancer survivors
and created a fund to help breast cancer patients and their
families who struggled financially. She was inducted into the
Ohio Women's Hall of Fame in 2002 for her work. "We have lost
a leader in the fight against cancer," seven-time Tour de
France winner and cancer survivor Lance Armstrong said.
"Stefanie was a living example of courage and strength to
everyone around her." Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel
called Stefanie Spielman an inspiration. "Stefanie has
inspired the entire Buckeye nation and Columbus community
with her courage and strength," Tressel said in a statement.
"We will miss her and will always remember the lessons we
learned from her. She will always be a special Buckeye."
Two-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin, the president
and CEO of the Ohio State Alumni Association, said Stefanie
Spielman was a compassionate person who "took her personal
struggle and used it as a platform to help other women
battling breast cancer." He said the Ohio State community
was "tremendously saddened" by her death. Chris Spielman
played 10 seasons in the NFL with the Detroit Lions and
Buffalo Bills before retiring after a violent hit that
left him momentarily paralyzed when he was with the
Cleveland Browns. Stefanie Spielman is survived by h
er husband and their four children, Madison, Noah,
Macy and Audrey.

Browns coach sorry about last-second injury

Following wide receiver Josh Cribbs' scary last-second injury,
Browns coach Eric Mangini said he wishes he would have handled
the final play of Monday night's game differently. Cribbs was
taken to a hospital after he was flattened on a last, meaningless
play in Baltimore's 16-0 win over the Browns. Mangini called it
a "competitive situation" and said Cribbs improvised on the pass
play by lateraling the ball before being hit by Ravens defensive
end Dwan Edwards. Mangini said Cribbs did not sustain a concussion.
He's optimistic that his best playmaker will be available for
Sunday's game in Detroit. Mangini would not say if he thought
Edwards' hit was dirty. He did defend Browns quarterback
Brady Quinn's questionable chop block on Ravens linebacker
Terrell Suggs following an interception. Mangini said he
believed Quinn's assertion that he was going after cornerback
Chris Carr, who made the pick in the third quarter. Quinn was
penalized 15 yards for a low block and could face a league
fine. Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis accused Quinn of a cheap shot.
