DINEEN RETIRES: Former Utah Grizzlies' defenseman Gord Dineen retired Thursday after 18 years as a professional hockey player. He will not leave the game entirely, though, as he's been hired by the Louisville Panthers of the American Hockey League as an assistant coach.
Dineen was traded to Chicago in March by the Grizzlies, who honored Dineen the year before by naming the franchise's defense award after him. He is the Grizzlies' all-time leader in games played (440), points by a defenseman (167) and assists by a defenseman (167). He'd been with the Grizzlies since their inception and was the player-coach when he was traded.
After being traded to the Wolves, Dineen and his new team went on to win the Turner Cup Championship. The 37-year-old has won a Stanley Cup ring and three Turner Cup rings in his career.

LEWIS FINED: Shocked by the $250,000 fine the NFL levied against him for obstructing justice in a murder case, Ray Lewis said Friday he plans to fight it.
"Yeah, I plan to appeal it and that's all I have to say about it," said Lewis, reached at his hotel before Friday night's game against the Carolina Panthers.
Lewis, an All-Pro linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens, was originally charged with murder in the death of two men outside an Atlanta nightclub following a post-Super Bowl party last January. He ended his trial early by pleading guilty to the misdemeanor charge of obstruction of justice.
