MISSOULA, Mont. -- Police officers used stun guns to subdue two University of Montana football players Sunday morning after the team returned following a game Saturday at Northern Arizona.

Sgt. Collin Rose said quarterback Gerald Kemp and cornerback Trumaine Johnson scuffled with police officers who responded to a noise complaint at about 2:40 a.m.

Rose said one player struck an officer in the chest with an open hand and the second player grabbed the officer to prevent the arrest of his teammate.

Both players bonded out of the Missoula County Jail on Sunday on misdemeanor charges that include obstructing a peace officer and resisting arrest.

SAN MARTIN, Calif. -- A male spectator ran onto a green shouting Tiger Woods' name and then threw a hot dog at him Sunday during the final round of the Frys.com Open in Northern California.

" I could hear the security behind me. I was still bent over my putt. And when I looked up (the hot dog) was already in the air. " -- Tiger Woods

The unidentified person was quickly subdued and Woods was not in any danger. In fact, within a minute, he had settled back over the putt he was attempting.

"I looked up and the hot dog was in the air," Woods said of the incident that occurred on the seventh hole, his 16th of the day. "(The fan) wanted to be in the news. I guess he is now."

The tournament's director of security, Dan Diggins, would not disclose the person's name. "He's just an idiot," Diggins said. He added the 31-year-old man didn't get within 40 feet of Woods, who was finishing up the Frys.com Open with a final-round 68.

LSU Bar Fight

BATON ROUGE, La. -- A grand jury reduced charges against Jordan Jefferson to a misdemeanor for his involvement in a bar fight and the LSU quarterback's suspension from the top-ranked Tigers was lifted soon after Wednesday night.

Jefferson, who testified before the grand jury, is now charged with simple battery and faces maximum penalties, if convicted, of up to six months in jail and fines up to $500.

His attorney, Lewis Unglesby, said his client "will never be convicted" if the case goes to trial.

"There's no evidence beyond a reasonable doubt to even think about it," Unglesby said. "The grand jury's standard is much lower than a reasonable doubt, so I guess they thought they met that standard by virtue of an accusation. That's a sad thing."

Jefferson and reserve linebacker Josh Johns were initially booked with felony second-degree battery in the Aug. 19 fight. The grand jury decided Wednesday there was not enough evidence to bring any charges against Johns. Four men sought treatment at hospitals after the brawl.

Jubenville Provides Insight to Success of Online Sportsmanship Platform

MURFREESBORO, Tenn.-After more than a year of design, development, and analysis, the Center for Sport Policy & Research (CSPR) at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) has released the findings of the pilot program it developed on behalf of the Sun Belt Conference's Real Sportsmanship initiative.

Dr. Colby B. Jubenville, professor of sport management at MTSU and CSPR director, announced the findings of the online, interactive, reality-based educational program.

"While the issue of sportsmanship is by no means a new one, our study represents the first effort we know of to use a systematic, scenario-driven approach that provided coaches and student-athletes opportunities to educate themselves about on- and off-the-field issues related to sportsmanship," Jubenville said.

A year after the Sun Belt Conference launched a new sportsmanship education effort among member schools, initial data confirm what officials suspected: The coach is the most important figure in developing sportsmanship among student-athletes.

The "RealSportsmanship" study also revealed that student-athletes generally develop their own unique concepts and levels of awareness of sportsmanship before arriving on Sun Belt campuses. Kathy Keene, associate commissioner of the conference, said that result was something the conference will take advantage of in next year's iteration of the survey.

Designed by Middle Tennessee State University Center for Sport Policy and Research with information and possible scenarios presented between pre- and post-tests, the survey asks participants about their value system and advises how to handle negative situations before they happen.
