Bengals Interested In T.O.

Cincinnati Bengals president Mike Brown confirmed his team's interest in free-agent receiver Terrell Owens on Monday.


"It's up to him," Brown said of Owens, according to Bengals.com. "We are talking to him. We have some interest."

Brown made his comments before the Bengals' training camp media luncheon.

He said that quarterback Carson Palmer, who has been working with Owens in California, reported that the receiver "can still run," according to the website.

Brown said that he was impressed with Owens' attitude when the team visited with him in March.

"I found him polite, nothing that has been said about him," Brown said, according to Bengals.com. "We like him as a player."

Owens also has another strong supporter in Chad Ochocinco, his close friend and reality TV colleague. The two have helped each other promote their respective shows on VH1.

The Bengals signed free-agent receiver Antonio Bryant during the offseason but Bryant has struggled so far. That has motivated the Bengals to take another look at Owens, a team source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.


Sources have told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen that the Rams also are interested in signing Owens.

The Rams asked Owens through his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, if he would consider a serious contract proposal, even though they are not considered a playoff contender. Rosenhaus told the team Owens would definitely consider it, sources said.


A high-ranking Rams official said a formal offer for Owens could come on Monday.

The 36-year-old Owens, a six-time Pro Bowler, had a pedestrian season with the Buffalo Bills last season, catching 55 passes for 829 yards and five touchdowns.

Lohan Goes Topless One Last Time Before Jailtime (Video Inside)

Before troubled starlet Lindsay Lohan found out that she would be heading for the slammer, she did a sexy beach photo-shoot for GQ Germany.

You may remember the photo-shoot from these behind-the-scenes paparazzi pics that surfaced in early June when Lindsay was still sporting her court-ordered SCRAM bracelet. Curiously enough, Lindsay's SCRAM bracelet is savvily edited out of this behind-the-scenes video of her very sexy photo shoot because we guess the editors at GQ think that alcohol-monitoring bracelets aren't very hot.

For the shoot, Lindsay rolls around in the sand while wearing retro-style bikinis and she later poses topless with a guitar. The whole shoot is very Bardot, don't you think?

Lindsay is currently gearing up for 90 days in jail and 90 days in inpatient rehab after she was convicted of violating the terms of her probation. She is expected to surrender herself next week.

Watch the video of a topless Lindsay below and remember the simpler times.

Brett Favre test out ankle while working out with HS players

HATTIESBURG, Miss. -- Brett Favre looks like he's getting along just fine on that surgically repaired ankle.


Favre worked out with some youngsters at Oak Grove High School in Hattiesburg, Miss., on Monday, then eluded reporters looking to ask him about his future by running to his truck and driving away.

The 40-year-old quarterback has yet to tell the Minnesota Vikings if he will return for a 20th season in the NFL, but many expect him to be back. He had arthroscopic surgery on his left ankle in May and has been throwing to receivers at the high school for a few weeks.

Favre worked out for about an hour, then grinned and waved at reporters as he drove off.
