NFL updates

Rookie free agent receiver and 2008 SLC Football Student-Athlete of the Year Dudley Guice had a very nice 28-yard reception in the final minute of play last night for Tennessee as the Titans' backups were trying to score in a 30-10 loss at Dallas. Fox Sports announcer Joe Buck was very impressed with what he called a "sensational" catch down the right sideline on a not-so-well thrown pass, so much so that he called two other intended receivers "Guice" in subsequent plays.

Big night tonight for David Pittman, the 4th-year cornerback and 2006 NSU All-American who is trying to lock down a job with the Houston Texans. He's going against his last team, the Saints, tonight in Houston. Pitt made a game-saving interception last week to help his cause.

Assistant basketball coach Mark Slessinger and former basketball staff member Patrick Self returned from Buffalo early this week after visiting Demetrius Bell at Bills' camp. They brought back a nice personally autographed cap for D-Bell's buddy Coach Black.
