NFL player apologizes for attack on his teammate.

Panthers’ Steve Smith broke Ken Lucas’ nose The Carolina Panthers wide receiver who attacked a teammate last week in a training camp dispute has apologized to teammates, coaches, fans and his family. Steve Smith broke cornerback Ken Lucas’ nose during practice and was suspended without pay for the first two regular-season games. “I’m completely wrong,” Smith says. “It was an asinine decision. And I’ll move forward better than I probably have ever had to. It’s the first time in my life that I really haven’t forgiven myself.” Lucas, who won’t play for two to three weeks, was on one knee and wearing no helmet when Smith punched him. He says the incident could be a “blessing in disguise” that brings the team closer together.

Dennis Rodman allegedly failed to pay debt for 18 months. Former NBA rebounding threat Dennis Rodman’s Mercedes S600 has been impounded after he allegedly failed to pay the vehicle’s registration for more than a year. Rodman, who’s had other recent troubles, including a domestic violence arrest and a $400,000 tax bill, says he thought his former business manager had paid the registration. Rodman’s whip was taken away by cops this past weekend after a woman driving the Benz was pulled over by officers.
