A convicted murderer who pleaded guilty to selling the gun used to kill ex-NFL quarterback Steve McNair has been sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison.

Thirty-three-year-old Adrian Gilliam, of nearby La Vergne, was sentenced Friday in U.S. District Court in Nashville to 30 months.

Gilliam acknowledged during a court hearing in September that he sold a loaded 9 mm semiautomatic pistol to McNair’s mistress for $100.

Nashville police said the woman, 20-year-old Sahel Kazemi, used the weapon to kill McNair and herself on July 4.

Gilliam was arrested about two weeks later and initially pleaded not guilty.

While his eight-day-old kid with wife Gisele remains nameless, Tom Brady walked around Boston on Tuesday.

Less than a month after being fined for a fake bribe to a ref, Cincinatti Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco was fined yet again this week for wearing a poncho and sombrero after scoring a touchdown this weekend.

According to the Associated Press, Ochocinco received a $30,000 fine from the NFL this week after he put on a the Latin attire in celebration of a touchdown catch during the Bengals win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday (December 6).

The fine has not been officially announced, but ESPN.com received word from an insider under the condition of anonymity.

Ochocinco responded on Tuesday (December 8), via an update on his Twitter page (@OGOchoCinco): “Dear NFL League Office, Diddy (@iamdiddy) told me to be great, being great means having fun n celebrating. I’ve written a letter of apology to yall.”

Last month, he was fined $20,000 and reprimanded by the NFL for pretending to bribe an official a dollar.

While one of his catches was being reviewed during Cincinnati’s 17-7 victory over Baltimore on November 8th, Ochocinco held a dollar bill in his right hand at his side, but didn’t give it to the official, who motioned for him to stay away.

After the game, he said: “I was just being me … to bribe the ref and make sure he was going to give us that call. I wasn’t going to do it for real.”

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) – The chip-shot miss against the New Orleans Saints has cost Washington Redskins kicker Shaun Suisham his job

Suisham was cut Tuesday by the Redskins, who replaced him with Graham Gano from the United Football League.

Suisham made his first 13 field goal attempts this year, but he had vital misses from 39 and 50 yards against Dallas three games ago and was wide right Sunday on a 23-yarder that would have sealed a victory against the unbeaten Saints. New Orleans rallied to win 33-30 in overtime.

Gano kicked the winning field goal in overtime for the Las Vegas Locomotives in the first UFL title game last month. He is from Florida State and spent training camp with the Baltimore Ravens.- FoxSports
