Bengals WR Chris Henry suffered what team spokesman Jack Brennan called "very serious" injuries in a car accident in Charlotte today that stemmed, police said, from a domestic dispute.
Police told the Cincinnati Enquirer that Henry jumped into the back of the bed of a truck driven by his fiance, Loleini Tonga. Henry then fell out of the truck as the dispute between the two lingered.
Police found Henry with life-threatening injuries.
Henry, 26, went on injured reserve on Nov. 9 after suffering a broken left arm.

Tiger Woods' Wife, Kids Leaving Him for the Holidays
Philandering golfer Tiger Woods likely won't be spending the holidays with his wife and two children.Moving crews were spotted Tuesday at the family mansion in Windermere, Fla. Several workers were seen carting such items, including carefully wrapped artwork.
A "bone-thin" Elin Nordegren, who wasn't wearing her wedding ring, spent about 10 minutes instructing the workers before driving off in her red Buick SUV, the New York Post reports.

The Swedish-born former nanny, 29, "is making plans to move out and take the kids [Sam, 2; Charlie, 10 months] with her," a source tells the Post. "She's planning to go somewhere warm and Tiger-free for Christmas. The only reason she didn't leave earlier is that their son had the flu, but he's now recovered."

A source tells New York's Daily News that "Elin is planning to take the kids to spend the holidays with her family in Sweden."
The new issue of Us Weekly (on newsstands now) reports that Nordegren skipped her usual appearance at the annual holiday party at the Isleworth Country Club.
"Her absence was noticeable, and there was a little tension and sadness in the air," one club member told Us.

Dubai says moving ahead with Tiger Woods course
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Tiger Woods' business partners in Dubai won't comment on the golfer's personal woes, but say they are still pushing ahead with plans to build a course bearing his name despite the emirate's cash problems.
The company building "The Tiger Woods Dubai" housing development and golf course said in a statement Wednesday it remains committed to finishing the first course designed by the American golfer himself.
The developer, part of the Dubai Holding conglomerate owned by the city-state's ruler, says "progress continues" on the project but gave no specifics.
Woods told the AP in June the long-delayed project was "out of my hands."
Some of Woods' sponsors are distancing themselves from the golfer over reports of marital infidelity.

Butch Jones' deal with Cincy could be done today
According to the Mt. Pleasant Morning Sun, Central Michigan coach Butch Jones and Cincinnati entered into contract negotiations Tuesday night and the deal is expected to be done on Wednesday. An announcement could come as early as today. Central Michigan athletic director Dave Heeke told the Morning Sun, “I would prefer that Cincinnati be the ones to make any comments on the matter.” Central Michigan is becoming quite the pipeline to Cincinnati. Former Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly also came from Central Michigan and was Jones’ predecessor. In three seasons with the Chippewas, Jones is 27-12, including an 11-3 record and an undefeated Mid-American Conference record this season. He also led CMU to two conference titles, including a win over Ohio two weeks ago. He recently led the Chippewas to their first-ever Top-25 ranking. It is unclear who will coach the Chippewas through the GMAC Bowl against Troy on Jan. 6.
Fourteen teams watch Cuban Aroldis Chapman
Ten minutes of pitching by a free-agent pitcher attracted reps for 14 teams to Houston yesterday, according to the Boston Globe. Of course, it was ten minutes of pitching by Cuban defector Aroldis Chapman, the 6'4" 21-year-old lefthander.His fastball averaged around 92-94 mph, but supposedly got up to 97 mph. He also showed off a slider and changeup.
Those 14 teams included the Boston Red Sox, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Chicago Cubs, Seattle Mariners, Florida Marlins, New York Mets, Baltimore Orioles, Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates, Texas Rangers, Kansas City Royals, Cincinnati Reds, and the New York Yankees. Two teams actually had their general managers show up: Ed Wade of the Houston Astros (who didn't have to go far to watch, obviously) and Mike Rizzo of the Washington Nationals.
Whoever signs this guy is expected to be spending about $15 million annually on him. His agents are hoping he'll be signed by January.

Source: Kate Hudson & A-Rod Split
Kate Hudson and Alex Rodriguez have split, a source told Access Hollywood.
The “NINE” star and the Yankee slugger split about a week ago after they came back from a trip to Europe, the source said.
We’re told Kate, who was a regular fixture on the sidelines, cheering on A-Rod during the New York Yankees’ World Series victory, fought with Alex before and during the series. We’re told the two had a big fight because Kate wanted to go out and party and A-Rod did not. The source told Access that Kate stormed out of the apartment following the argument, but the two made up the next day.
The source described their relationship as “tumultuous,” noting it was full of ups and downs. A-Rod also reportedly did not like that Kate enjoyed partying so often.
The split will no doubt be difficult for their respective children. Kate’s son Ryder was — according to our source — already calling A-Rod “Daddy,” while Alex’s daughters really liked Kate.
A-Rod has now moved back to the Florida home he previously shared with his ex-wife, Cynthia, the source said.
Kate previously told Harper’s Bazaar – in a fashion special of the magazine just hitting the stands now, that she was “having a good time right now” with her life and love.
“And no matter how many times my heart breaks, I’ll never be any different,” she said. “I’d rather hang out with the person who’s done everything than who’s done nothing. It would suck to die and not have experienced my life, really.”

2009 AP All-American Team Led by Toby Gerhart and Ndamukong Suh
Four Alabama Crimson Tide Players Made the 2009 All-America Team
The 2009 AP All-America first team was revealed and Alabama has four players on the team. The 2009 All-America first team has Alabama running back Mark Ingram, guard Michael Johnson, kicker Leigh Tiffin, and defensive tackle Terrence Cody. It's a very good showing for the Alabama
2009 AP All-American Team Led by Toby Gerhart and Ndamukong Suh Crimson Tide, who had the most players voted to the 2009 All-America team by the Associated Press. Mark Ingram and Toby Gerhart were selected as the two running backs to represent the team, and both of these star players were voted to the 2009 All-America team unanimously by the AP voters.
Joining Gerhart and Ingram on the 2009 AP All-America first team were Texas quarterback Colt McCoy, Texas wide receiver Jordan Shipley, Florida tight end Aaron Hernandez and Notre Dame wide receiver Golden Tate. The front line consists of Oklahoma State tackle Russell Okung, Oklahoma tackle Trent Williams, Alabama guard Michael Jonson, Idaho guard Mike Iupati, and Baylor center J.D. Walton. The Big-12 and SEC own quite a few of the top spots on this season's All-American team, and that could be exactly why we now have an Alabama vs. Texas BCS National Championship game.
On the defensive side of the ball, the 2009 All-America team has a line of TCU defensive end Jerry Hughes, Georgia Tech defensive end Derrick Morgan, Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh and Alabama defensive tackle Terrence Cody. The linebackers are Alabama's Rolando McClain, Michigan State's Greg Jones and South Carolina's Eric Norwood in a group of some great defensive players. The secondary consists of Florida cornerback Joe Haden, Alabama cornerback Javier Arenas, Texas safety Earl Thomas, and Tennessee safety Eric Berry. Finishing out the 2009 All-America first team roster are Alabama kicker Leigh Tiffin, Georgia punter Drew Butler, and all-purpose player C.J. Spiller of Clemson.
