NFL Puts Refs,
Browns Under Review
NEW YORK - From instant
replay to beer sales, the NFL
will review all aspects of the
b o ttle -th ro w in g m elee by
Cleveland fans after a replay
decision led the Browns’ loss

I ever, take action against the
1 Browns’ owner and president

Mike Tyson
NEW YORK (AP) - Police
are investigating a claim that
Mike Tyson punched a former
boxer outside a nightclub after
the man yelled at him and called
his com p an io n s “ chicken
heads.”
Former boxer Mitchell Rose
told police Tyson grabbed his
mink coat before knocking him
to the ground early Sunday
morning, just the latest run-in
with the law for the former
heavyweight champion.
“W e’re working with law
enforcem ent,” said Darrow
Soli, one of Tyson’s lawyers,
said Monday. “W e’ve con
ducted witness interviews, and
the allegations are unsup
ported.”
Police had not talked to
Tyson as of Monday evening,
and it was unclear whether
they planned to do so.
Rose had been told to leave
the nightclub by T yson’s se
curity guards and club per
sonnel, but waited for him
outside, according to a police
report. W hen Tyson left the
c lu b . R o se c u rs e d and
screamed at him and his com-
p a n io n s , in c lu d in g tw o
women, the report said.
“Look at Mike Tyson with a
couple o f chicken heads!”
Rose said, according to the
report.
Tyson then chastised Rose
and left, people with Tyson
told police. Rose, however, said
Tyson assaulted him before
leaving.
During Rose’s boxing ca
reer, he had two wins, eight
losses, one draw and two
knockouts. He has not fought
since Nov. 12, 1998.
The case is the latest in a
long line of accusations against
Tyson, who spent three years
in prison for rape, and isn’t the
first time he’s been accused of
fighting outside the ring. In
1988, Tyson broke a bone in
his right hand in a street brawl
with boxer Mitch Green in
Harlem.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -
New safety regulations by
NASCAR next season require
pit crew members who go over
the wall during races or prac
tice to wear helmets and fire-
resistant clothing. Drivers also
must wear helmets and fire suits
during practice, qualifying and
competition, something that
has been routine for some time
but is now a rule. The pit crew
safety rule changes follow an
accident at Homestead-Miami
Sppedway last month. Three
members of Ridy Rudd ’ s ere w
were injured when they were
hit by W ar Burton’s car.
