The Plaxico Burress speculation tour is now reboarding. Next stop: Dallas.
It's been said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. That may have been the case at Bengals training camp this week. Or maybe not.

Woody Johnson expected more reporters and TV cameras around his Jets than usual with Tim Tebow in town. The Jets owner wasn't counting on this much attention.
