Ocho Cinco to keep Johnson Jersey

Chad Javon Ocho Cinco will wear his old jersey, bearing his formal name of Johnson for the rest of the season. While the NFL has acknowledged his name change from Chad Johnson to Chad Ocho Cinco, the league will not allow him to change jerseys until he has compensated Reebok for the unsold jerseys with his old name.

NBA to expand instant replay

The NBA’s Board of Governors approved the expanded use of instant replay for the 2008-2009 season. Replay can now be used to determine whether a made basket was a two or three pointer or if a foul occurred behind the arc. Most significantly, officials can now use television to determine how much time remains in a game if the clock malfunctions. (Josh Goldman)
