Bengals sign draft choices

By Staff report

Tuesday, July 15, 2008

CINCINNATI — The Bengals have agreed to terms on a four-year contract with fifth-round defensive tackle Jason Shirley (Fresno State) and have reportedly agreed to terms with two other players: Sixth-round tight end Matt Sherry (Villanova) and seventh-round wide receiver Mario Urrutia (Louisville). The club won't confirm Sherry's or Urrutia's deals until the contracts are signed.

Shirley went on trial for DUI in June, but the judge declared a mistrial in the case. Shirley is due to be tried again next month.

'Hamlet 2' [movies]

Plenty of laughs are in store in the comedy smash of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. Steve Coogan plays high-school drama coach Dana Marschz. While trying to stage a lighthearted sequel to Shakespeare's famous tragedy he faces laughable hardships including a bender that leaves him lurching into a liquor store on roller skates in search of the cheapest booze. His flock of students includes one mute girl who's the object of as many random assaults as Kenny from "South Park." And the stage production at the movie's climax includes a song called "Rock Me, Sexy Jesus." More »
