A day later, Manning signed a five-year, $21 million offer sheet with the Bears. The Carolina Panthers did not match the deal, but the team said the decision was not related to the arrest. Manning is on probation for a similar offense in 2002 near the UCLA campus. That case was first dismissed and then refiled in 2003. If convicted in the latest ca |

| Burress. His No. 1 receiver wasn't talking about it on Wednesday, turning down pleas from the Giants' public relations staff to talk to the media on the opening day of minicamp. Burress hasn't said anything since the Giants were beaten 23-0 by the Carolina Panthers in the opening round of the playoffs. Held without a catch, Burress waved his hands in frustration several times during the game when he felt he was open and Manning didn't get him the ball.

In Charlotte, the Carolina Panthers have gotten as far as the Super Bowl, but failed to bring home a title.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -Keyshawn Johnson arrived in minicamp Friday, drawing a swarm of attention as he left the practice field. Few even noticed Keary Colbert as he quietly walked on by. Since Johnson was brought in to be the No. 2 receiver the Carolina Panthers so desperately needed last season, Colbert's role has become unclear. He's now third on the depth chart, fighting with Drew Carter for playing time. Since the bulk of the catches in Carolina go to All-Pro receiver Steve Smith, it leaves very few ba |

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -The Carolina Panthers promoted running backs coach Jim Skipper to assistant head coach Wednesday. Skipper came to Carolina in 2002 when coach John Fox was hired as head coach. The two worked together on the New York Giants' staff, but Skipper spent the 2001 season coaching the XFL's San Francisco Demons. The Panthers didn't have an assistant head coach last season, but Fox said Skipper handled many of those duties anyway. ``Skip was that guy for me last year,'' Fox said. ``I had a |

The board said state law allows it to revoke a medical license when a doctor pleads guilty to a felony. In March, Dr. James Shortt pleaded guilty in federal court to one count of conspiracy to distribute anabolic steroids and human growth hormone. In exchange, prosecutors agreed to drop |
