Woods expected to talk to police Sunday
WINDERMERE, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods and his wife, Elin, are expected to talk to police for the first time Sunday, breaking a two-day silence that has only fueled speculation about his early morning accident, why he left the house at that hour, where he was going and whether an argument preceded the crash. Florida Highway Patrol spokeswoman Sgt. Kim Montes said the 911 call — made by a neighbor, not Woods' wife, Elin — will be released Sunday, and troopers will return to Woods' house when they report for duty about 3 p.m.

Concussion expected to sideline Roethlisberger
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will miss Sunday night's game at Baltimore because of a concussion, an unforeseen development that forces the inexperienced Dennis Dixon to start one of the Super Bowl champions' biggest games this season. Dixon, the former Oregon star, has spent most of the season as the No. 3 quarterback running the Steelers' scout team during practice. He has thrown only one NFL pass in two seasons, but must play because both Roethlisberger and backup Charlie Batch were hurt during a 27-24 overtime loss to Kansas City last week.
