Ocho Cinco ready to fight Raven players?
When the Cincinnati Bengals go up against the Baltimore Ravens this weekend, officials might want to pay extra attention to Chad Ocho Cinco, who is saying he's prepared to punch Ravens linebacker Bart Scott in the mouth for cussing him out the last time the team's met. And he doesn't like safety Dawan Landry either. (Baltimore Sun)

Burress extension mostly incentive based
Sure the Giants signed receiver Plaxico Burress to $24.5 million contract, but rumor has it that a lot of that dough is actually not guaranteed and will only find its way into the hands of Burress if he can meet specific goals along the way. (ProFootballTalk)

Chargers tight end Antonio Gates is still having problems with his toe and it's looking like he might not be up to 100 percent by the time his team kicks off its season this Sunday. Gates is hoping to be out there for the full game but it's looking incredibly doubtful. (San Diego Union-Tribune)
