Redskins' Jacoby sidelined for week with back spasms By Vito Stellino * BENGALS: Paul Brown, famed for fashioning the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati into winners, was remembered at his funeral as a man who got his greatest joy from coaching high school players in his hometown of Massillon, Ohio. Some 200 people attended the service in tiny St. Timothy's Episcopal Church in the town where Brown said his career truly began. Another 200, many wearing the black and orange of both the Massillon High School Tigers and the Cincinnati Bengals, gathered outside to watch Brown's casket being carried into the church. * PATRIOTS: Running back John Stephens, who has held out for two weeks, said he would rather play for another team and formally asked to be traded. The Patriots offered to up his $450,000 salary from a year ago to $750,000, but Stephens wants $1.1 million
