NFL -- Daughter Shows Dillon What Is Most Important

CINCINNATI - Corey Dillon has a new daughter and the leader of the Bengals ground game has a new attitude about life.

The Feb. 15 birth of his daughter, Cameron, has given Dillon a different perspective on what is important in life.

"It's the most beautiful experience I've dealt with," he said. "It's mellowed me completely. You look at her, and you feel you're on top of the world."

Dillon missed the workouts after the April mini-camp because he wanted to be with his daughter in Seattle. His girlfriend, Desiree Antoine, was taking classes at the University of Washington.

"I had to watch my daughter during the day while she went to school," Dillon said. "That was my responsibility. I realize my job is important, but sometimes some things are more important."

Notes

-- Leonard Little of the St. Louis Rams was sentenced to 90 days in jail after pleading guilty to driving the car that killed a woman in a wreck. Little pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter. The second-year linebacker could have been sentenced to up to seven years.

Susan Gutweiler, 47, was killed Oct. 19 in downtown St. Louis when Little's sports utility vehicle ran a red light and broadsided her car.

-- Michael Irvin denied that he has demanded a contract extension or is unhappy with his role in the Dallas Cowboys' offense.

"You guys don't know what you're talking about. You're always wrong when it comes to me," Irvin told reporters.

-- Hicham El-Mashtoub, a free-agent lineman waived by Cleveland in April, filed suit against the Browns, alleging he was cut because he is of Arabic descent. El-Mashtoub, 27, filed a suit in Cuyahoga County (Ohio) Common Pleas Court claiming Browns officials made, or were present when disparaging remarks were made, to El-Mashtoub. He is seeking at least $25,000 in damages.

He played for Arizona in college and has appeared in four games for the Tennessee Oilers and Kansas City Chiefs since 1995. He signed with the Browns on Jan. 8 and was released April 27.

-- Nate Newton, cast aside by the Dallas Cowboys after 13 years, became the oldest member of the Carolina Panthers when he signed a one-year deal with the team.

Newton, 37, appeared in six of the last seven Pro Bowls but was deemed expandable by Dallas, which is expected to move Larry Allen, its top offensive lineman, from left tackle to left guard.

-- Professional Hall-of-Famer Jim Brown was arrested and briefly jailed for making a "terrorist threat" against his wife, police in Los Angeles said.

Brown, 63, a star running back for the Cleveland Browns in the 1960s, was arrested after officers responded to a domestic violence call at his home, a police spokesman said.

The spokesman said the officers interviewed Brown's wife, Monique, 25, and took him into custody based on her information. The spokesman said he had no information on the nature of the threats.

Brown was taken to jail and charged with making a "terrorist threat." He posted his $50,000 bail "immediately" and was released, the spokesman said.
