Twitter feed, it appears that Bengals' receiver Chad Ochocinco had a busy night -- or a vivid imagination.Ochocinco told his followers early Monday that he was denied access to an unnamed club and taunted by the bouncer, an apparent Jets fan.Minutes later, he tweeted, "Damn I just got in a fight with the bouncer, them damn boxing sessions got me on point, at least the police let me keep tweetin n the car?"That was followed minutes later by "Aww man NYPD is so awesome we are all headed to Starbucks after we drop the bouncer off at the police station for assault on me."An hour after that, Ochocinco tweeted "Back at the club in ViP with 3 NYPD officers poppin bottles of cranberry n red bull, I went from being outside to having a ball! I luv NY."The New York Daily News reported Monday morning that New York City police did not have any details of the incident available for release yet.And Ochocinco himself told a follower "lmao, that's the power twitter, that was all a joke last night."

Video of Uganda Bombing Aftermath
As my colleague Josh Kron reports, “At least 64 people were killed when bombs exploded Sunday in a synchronized attack on large gatherings of World Cup soccer fans watching the televised final on outdoor screens” in Kampala, Uganda. Officials in Uganda said that the Shabab, a militant Islamic group in nearby Somalia, might have been behind the bombings. Reuters reported that Sheik Yusuf Sheik Issa, a Shabab commander in Somalia said, “Uganda is a major infidel country supporting the so-called government of Somalia.” He added, “We know Uganda is against Islam and so we are very happy at what has happened in Kampala. That is the best news we ever heard.”

A Josh Childress sign-and-trade for not much in return? Wow
Esteemed colleague Michael Cunningham reports that the Hawks are close to a sign-and-trade with Phoenix for Josh Childress, who last played for the Hawks in Game 7 against Boston in May 2008. That the Hawks aren’t terribly interested in having the Grecian earner rejoin them should come as no shock.Back to 2008: Billy Knight, who drafted Childress with the No. 6 pick in June 2004, resigned as general manager after the Boston series. He was replaced by Rick Sund, who knew Childress as a Hawk only from what he’d seen on TV/film, and what Sund saw wasn’t necessarily what we Atlantans had seen.
A lot of us around here believed Childress was a substitute of the first rank — the kind of high-octane reserve every good team needs. (Childress had been stellar against the Celtics, you’ll recall.) Sund saw a guy who couldn’t shoot. He wanted to keep Childress, but not at any price. Thus did a rising NBA team’s sixth man wind up with Olympiakos.
Put simply, Childress saw himself as more important to the Hawks than the new GM did. (So did I, though I give Sund credit for finding Flip Murray and Mo Evans that summer to help offset the loss.) Given that Sund’s still here, the chances of Childress returning to the Hawks have never been good. They’ve regarded him as a bargaining piece if they’ve regarded him at all, and the preliminary details of the sign-and-trade would seem to bear that out.
The Hawks wouldn’t be getting a player in return. They’d be getting, Cunningham reports, a second-round draft choice and a trade exception, which is a salary-cap credit for a future transaction. Which would mean that they got nothing when Childress left for Greece and they wouldn’t be receiving a flesh-and-blood player upon his return. To which I say:

SR Gospel: Walter Hawkins Dies at 61, Family Says 'He Will Suffer No More'
Gospel industry veteran Walter Hawkins has died.
Recognized as one of the industry's leading talents whose titles include Bishop, singer, songwriter, and producer, Hawkins died at the age of 61 Sunday.
With a discography that includes staples like "Going Up Yonder," "What It Is," "Changed," and "The Lord's Prayer,' Hawkins' death comes after a lengthy battle with pancreatic cancer.
Issuing a statement shortly after his death, Hawkins' brother, Edwin, told the Associated Press "he will suffer no more".
"Today, I lost my brother, my pastor, and my best friend," said Edwin Hawkins. "Bishop Hawkins suffered bravely but now he will suffer no more and he will be greatly missed."
In addition to his efforts, Hawkins had worked with everyone from Jeffrey Osborne and Van Morrison to his family, The Edwin Hawkins Singers (Oh, Happy Day), credited as a trailblazing force behind contemporary gospel in the late 1950s/1960s.
Bobby Spillane, Mickey Spillane's son who died in tragic accident, remembered as a 'standup guy' Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/
he actor son of mobster Mickey Spillane was remembered Sunday as a class act who worked hard to get away from the streets but never forgot where he came from.
"[Bobby Spillane] was a standup guy. He was the most loyal of friends," said a close pal, comic Colin Quinn. "He knew all the West Side stories, all the West Side guys respected him.
"He hated bullies and always stood up to them," Quinn said. "He was my best friend."
Spillane, 45, died in a freak six-story fall Saturday when he leaned out the window of his Eighth Ave. apartment to call to his twin brother and the screen gave way.
No foul play is suspected, and the fall is being treated as a tragic accident, sources said.
An autopsy conducted Sunday was inconclusive, and toxicology tests will be conducted, the medical examiner's office said.
Spillane appeared in several TV shows and films, like "Law & Order," "Rescue Me" and "The Thomas Crown Affair."
He also wrote plays, including 2006's "All Dolled Up" - which Quinn produced - about a cross-dressing mobster in the 1960s.
"He was excellent to work with," said retired NYPD Lt. John O'Donohue, who starred as the Mafia don. "He was a true gentleman. It is a great loss."
Spillane had recently been working on a one-man show called "A Hell's Kitchen Story," Quinn said. "I rehearsed with him all the time, and it was an amazing piece of writing," the "Saturday Night Live" alum said. "He was a very good actor."
Spillane's father, known as the Gentleman Gangster, led the notorious Westies gang for two decades before being gunned down in 1977. His killing remains unsolved.
The elder Spillane was not related to the crime novelist of the same name, who created the legendary Mike Hammer character.
Friends said Bobby Spillane battled with drugs and alcohol when he was younger, but turned his life around and was quick to help anyone struggling with similar demons.
"We all went through a tough time growing up," said Bobby Moresco, who won an Oscar for penning the film "Crash." "But a few of us came out on the other side.
"He straightened himself out and then made it his business to help out others," he said.
Spillane's brother Michael said that was just the way his twin sibling was.
"He was there for everyone in the neighborhood," he said. A wake will be held tomorrow and Wednesday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at his uncle James McManus' funeral home, McManus & Ahern, on W. 43rd St.
A Mass is scheduled for Thursday at 10 a.m. at Sacred Heart Catholic Church on W. 51st St
