Two bitten by dog at Bengal's house

BATAVIA — A dog bit a woman and her 3-year-old son at the home of Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Deltha O'Neal, who drove them to a Cincinnati-area hospital with injuries to their legs and buttocks, the Clermont County sheriff said Thursday.
"A frantic caller indicating they needed help" called 911 about 8:45 a.m., then hung up, Sheriff A.J. "Tim" Rodenberg Jr. said. Deputies traced the call to O'Neal's condo near Amelia, east of Cincinnati.
O'Neal was not at the condo when the incident occurred, but witnesses told investigators that he returned home to take the woman and her child to the hospital before deputies arrived, Rodenberg said. A message seeking information on the conditions of the woman and boy was left with a hospital spokesman.
Ownership of the dog was unclear because it did not appear to be licensed, Rodenberg said. He expected no criminal charges, but said county animal control officials would quarantine the dog for 10 days before deciding how to proceed.
The Bengals said O'Neal was excused from practice for personal reasons.
Ex-Brown Andruzzi battling cancer
Former New England Patriots and Cleveland Browns guard Joe Andruzzi battled some of the toughest, meanest and nastiest defensive lineman in a 10-year NFL career.
None came close to the aggressive but treatable form of cancer he is fighting now.
Andruzzi, 32, a member of the Patriots' three Super Bowl championship teams during his five years with the club, was diagnosed in May with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma — cancer of the cells of the lymphatic system — and has returned to the Boston area for treatment at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
"I'm still not feeling too great, just trying to take it one day at a time," he said. "The treatment is really taking it out of me. It's a real aggressive cancer so I am getting real aggressive chemo treatment."
