A former San Francisco 49ers cheerleader filed a federal lawsuit claiming that NFL executives and team owners who were planning to suppress wages for the cheerleaders. This cheerleader, however, filed it under the name of Jane Doe, so no one knows which cheerleader filed it. The NFL may lose 100 to 300 million dollars to fill the demands of all the cheerleaders. "They weren't paid for rehearsal time or community outreach events," according to the filing in U.S. District Court. They were also forbidden from being recruited by other teams or even employed by a professional team outside of the NFL. The New York Jets and the Oakland Raiders have made their peace with their cheerleaders by paying them the wages they need and paying for the lawsuit.

Henry suffers from facial fractures and bleeding on the brain. When he arrived at the hospital, they put him into a medically-induced coma over the weekend.

The Dallas Stars hockey team has had some trouble all year. They even had one of their own teammates put the puck in their goal! They were playing in Ottawa on Thursday night when Jiri Hudler attempted a drop pass on a delayed penalty and accidentally scored on Dallas' wide open net. This gave the opposing team the Senators a 2 - 0 lead. To make it even worse, that goal ended up being the difference of the game with the Stars only losing by one.
