Chris Henry 's fiancee wept as she spoke about the late Cincinnati Bengals receiver Tuesday, saying that while she often got credit for steering him clear of trouble, he had changed her life as well. Henry, 26, was killed after he fell out of the bed of a pickup truck driven by his fiancee, Loleini Tonga , during what police have called a domestic dispute. Police are investigating, but no charges have been filed. Tonga, wearing sunglasses, repeatedly paused to gather herself as she spoke to hundreds of mourners at his funeral, including Henry's teammates, who filled the stands at a suburban New Orleans events center.

Mel Kiper Jr., who has been plumbing the mysteries of the NFL's annual rite of passage from boola-boola to the pros for more than 25 years, really wants the Ravens to pick a quarterback in the NFL draft. Kiper was on the telephone yesterday with about 50 reporters from around the country answering questions about players from the obvious to the obscure. As always, Kiper can give height, weight and 40-yard dash time on virtually anyone who wore pads in college without taking a moment to cogitate or inhale.

Terrell Suggs won't play this week against the Colts - the first game he will have missed in his career - and he could be out much longer. Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Suggs has a sprained ligament in his right knee, which occurred when Browns quarterback Brady Quinn hit him low after throwing an interception in Monday's 16-0 win. "He's out this week, that's the ruling that we know," Harbaugh said Wednesday. "It's got to heal on its own. There is no procedure that can be done.

Still not convinced the television talking heads are running out of topics to fill the hours devoted to the NFL? Mr. Flip offers this example, then: Last week on ESPN2's First Take, commentators Skip Bayless and Jemele Hill presented their lists of the league's top five best-looking quarterbacks. There is probably some context to this, but Mr. Flip doesn't care. Oh, and you probably want their lists. Bayless: 1. Brady Quinn (Cleveland Browns), 2. Brett Favre (New York Jets), 3. Tony Romo (Dallas Cowboys)

Brady Quinn's last start at quarterback for the Cleveland Browns was Sept. 27 in Baltimore. Benched at halftime of a 34-3 loss to the Ravens, Quinn will make his first start since then in Monday night's return match. Browns coach Eric Mangini announced on Wednesday the decision to bench Derek Anderson, who had completed just 42 of 89 passes - with seven interceptions - in his last three games against the Ravens. Quinn, a first-round pick in 2007, threw for one touchdown and three interceptions in three starts this season.
