A temporary restraining order against New England receiver Randy Moss has been extended until March 28, according to the Associated Press.

The Associated Press is reporting that the relationship between Rich Rodriguez and the West Virginia Athletic Department has gradually disintegrated over the last five months.

The NFL is trying to do the same thing the Tennessee Titans did: get their name removed from a lawsuit filed by a man paralyzed in a shooting outside of a strip club involving cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones. Clark County District Court Judge Jessie Walsh is set to hear arguments Feb. 20 on the league's claim. Tommy Urbanski filed the lawsuit Oct. 19, seeking to recover damages from Jones, the NFL, the Titans, and the owners of Harlem Knights, the Houston strip club where the incident took place.

Cedrick Wilson's girlfriend was arrested Sunday after a nearly 12-hour standoff at the wide receiver's home that led to the evacuation of about 70 neighbors, police said.

West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin disputes claims there was any kind of a smear campaign against former Mountaineers' football Coach Rich Rodriguez. "As far as everyone I know -- and that includes the president and the athletic director and most of the staff -- there is no smear campaign," Manchin told The Charleston Gazette. "The facts are simply what they are." On Thursday, Rodriguez broke his silence on the controversy that has followed since he left West Virginia to become head coach at Michigan. "There seems to be a campaign to try to smear me," Rodriguez said. "I haven't said anything until recently, when I felt I needed to defend all the false accusations." "It has just gotten ridiculous over the last couple of days."

Portrayed by Randy Moss as a woman making a money grab against him, Rachelle Washington came out on the defensive Thursday. A statement from her attorney David McGill says "she refuses to be further disrespected by him." "Ms. Washington has been unfairly characterized as someone simply seeking financial gain. In fact, it was Mr. Moss' representatives who first contacted our office to offer a 'six figure' settlement with hopes of not having this incident become public record," the statement reads. A temporary restraining order was issued Monday requiring the star wide receiver to stay at least 500 feet from Washington who alleged he committed "battery causing serious injury" to her at her Florida home on Jan. 6. "It has never been her intention to hurt Mr. Moss in any way. However, she has suffered mental and physical harm as a result of his actions. She simply wants him to take responsibility for what he has done. As a battery victim she has shown great strength throughout this entire ordeal," the statement reads. Moss denied the allegation, which he called "this situation of extortion," and said he was "furious" about it. The restraining order was issued in the Broward County 17th Judicial Circuit of Florida.

A temporary domestic restraining order has been issued against Patriots? receiver Randy Moss, after a Florida woman alleged he battered her and then refused to allow her to seek medical attention on Jan. 6, according to court documents. Rachelle Washington, 35, of Fort Lauderdale, filed a petition for a temporary injunction for protection against dating violence by Moss in Broward County on Monday. The temporary injunction was issued that same day. The court order forbids Moss from coming anywhere near Washington, her home, or her car. He is also ordered to surrender any guns he may have and to appear at a hearing Jan. 28. That?s when he will have a chance to defend himself, and the court will decide whether to extend the restraining order. Moss does not face any criminal charges in the case.
