CINCINNATI (AP) - Steelers safety Troy Polamalu is renewing his
call to let NFL players help decide fines for flagrant hits.
Polamalu called for a "more democratic" system during last night
on "The T.Ocho Show," which features Bengals receivers Terrell
Owens and Chad Ochocinco on Versus.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Steelers safety Will Allen and running backs
Mewelde Moore and Isaac Redman sustained concussions during Monday
night's game in Cincinnati and must pass tests before being cleared
to play. The Steelers had numerous injuries during their 27-21
victory, with left guard Chris Kemoeatu's sprained knee apparently
the most serious.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - Matt McGloin is taking over as Penn
State's starting quarterback against Number 8 Ohio State. The
former walk-on has thrown for seven touchdowns the last three
games, including four last week in relief of freshman Rob Bolden
against Northwestern. Coach Joe Paterno says Bolden may still play
Saturday, though McGloin is the first-stringer.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - Talor Battle's final season at Penn
State begins with heady expectations. The Nittany Lions'
lightning-quick guard is 613 points from becoming the school's
career scoring leader, but he's got an even more important goal on
his mind. Penn State is trying to regain respectability in the
tough Big Ten after an 11-20 record and last-place conference
finish last season.

CHESTER, Pa. (AP) - The USA 7's Collegiate Rugby Championship
will be held in June next year at Chester's PPL Park. The
championship, a Rugby Sevens World Cup-style tournament featuring
16 top-tier collegiate rugby teams, will be broadcast live on NBC
both days. Rugby Sevens will be an Olympic sport starting in 2016.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The Spectrum is set for one last shot. The
famed arena in South Philadelphia will face the wrecking ball at
noon on November 23rd. Former Philadelphia Flyers Bernie Parent and
Bobby Clarke, and 76ers Hall of Famer Julius "Dr. J" Erving all
won championships playing games at the Spectrum and will be on hand
for its final event.
