Thurman busted in OVI check
Teammates in car had "more than I did," he told police BY MARK CURNUTTE | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Bengals linebacker Odell Thurman told police he had "a couple of beers" and he was driving because his teammates in the SUV "had more than I did" when he was stopped at 3:05 a.m. today and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. Thurman was one of at least three players in a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe stopped by police in the East End. The vehicle is owned by Bengals rookie wide receiver Reggie McNeal, who was a passenger, said a source at the scene. Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry was a passenger and threw up out a window of the vehicle. Neither McNeal nor Henry was cited or charged. A police videotape shows an officer asking Thurman to step out of the car and asking him how much he had to drink. "I had a couple of beers,'' Thurman responded. |

Two games into the season, Cincinnati Bengals running back Rudi Johnson leads the AFC in rushing and is showing an unmistakable spring in his step. It wasn't there last year. Johnson's left knee has been fixed by surgery. His body has been redesigned by a new diet. And his game is looking a whole lot better, giving one of the NFL's top offenses yet another way to torment defenses. Instead of plodding, Johnson now can shift into another gear. "Oh, yeah, I feel good, man," he said. |
