PITTMAN GOING UP THE RIVER?



The Tampa newspapers report that Bucs back Michael Pittman faces six felony charges after ramming with his Hummer the Mercedes carrying his wife and his two-year-old son.



Pittman and his wife had been arguing about whether Pittman could take the boy to a three-day optional camp this week.



The incident occurred on Saturday, near Pittman's home in Phoenix. His wife, their son, and their babysitter, who all were in the car, were not injured.



It's not Pittman's first brush with the law. In 2001, he served five days after fighting with current Browns safety Earl Little, who was with Pittman's wife at a time when the couple was estranged. Pittman also received a one-game suspension for the incident. Pittman also was arrested twice on domestic violence charges in 1997.



Pittman, whose wife recently gave birth to the couple's second child ("Little Joe Horn" Pittman?), faces another suspension for this incident, and it could prompt the Bucs to cut him loose altogether. With guys like Thomas Jones and Ron Dayne available for a low-round pick, don't be surprised if the Bucs make a move.
