As the blue-collar linebacker struck a pose for a promotional poster for Texas Christian, the photographer jokingly said, "The only thing missing is blood." Phillips then ran to the training room, grabbed a plastic knife and cut the bridge of his nose. "It wasn't a big deal," Phillips said. "I just cut it enough where the blood drained down the side.

The Ravens selected Nicholls State defensive back Lardarius Webb in the third round Sunday, hoping recent history doesn't repeat itself. It was only three years ago that the Ravens missed on another small-school defensive back, David Pittman, who became one of their biggest third-round busts. Asked about the challenge of not coming from a Division I school, Webb said: "I think I have something to prove. I love the game.

The commanding officer of the guided-missile destroyer Bainbridge had already received approval from President Barack Obama to attempt a rescue of Capt. Richard Phillips by force if the seafarer's life appeared to be in imminent danger after five days of captivity off the coast of Somalia.

Even as coach Wade Phillips and quarterback Tony Romo yesterday were denying the existence of any distractions in the Dallas Cowboys' locker room last week, a fresh dose was being served up around them. Terrell Owens, in a combative new television interview, was keeping the story on the front burner. Meanwhile, NFL Network studio analyst Marshall Faulk, who will be in the booth for Saturday's game against the Ravens at Texas Stadium, was blistering the local media for giving Romo and offensive coordinator Jason Garrett "a pass" while raking Owens over the coals.

Cowboys' Phillips comes to Barber's defense nfl Dallas Cowboys coach Wade Phillips yesterday denied that the team ever questioned the toughness of running back Marion Barber, which became an issue because owner Jerry Jones brought it up after Sunday's 20-13 loss at Pittsburgh. Asked about the fact Barber didn't make the trip to Pittsburgh because of a dislocated pinkie toe on his right foot, Jones said, "He can play with that injured toe. ... I see nothing that would have led us to believe that he couldn't."

Four years ago, Joann Phillips was a drug-addicted prostitute who testified that she was too high on heroin to recall anything about a fatal stabbing on Harford Road. A jury convicted Issac Smith without her help. While he appealed, Phillips got out of prostitution, out of Baltimore and off drugs. After Smith's conviction was overturned on a technicality, Baltimore Detective John Riddick and prosecutor Paul O'Connor began searching for Phillips. They pressured her mother to give up her contact information, and once they reached her, Phillips, 27, grabbed the opportunity to redeem herself.

"There wasn't a gun to his head," Phillips said. "He put it on the table for the sake of the program," he added. "I agreed."
