$400,000 payment made; fee still owed
Published on Wednesday, May 21, 2008

A prosecutor and hotel official say Charles Barkley has paid the Las Vegas Strip casino that sued him after the retired NBA star failed to pay a $400,000 gambling debt.
But it's going to cost Barkley another $40,000 to close the case.
Clark County District Attorney David Roger said Tuesday that prosecutors have been in touch with a Barkley representative, and expect another check to pay the 10 percent processing fee imposed once a bad check lawsuit is filed.
The Wynn Las Vegas resort alleged in a civil complaint filed May 14 that Barkley failed to repay four $100,000 casino markers, or loans, he received last Oct. 18 and 19.
Roger says the case remains open until Barkley pays the remaining money.
More basketball: Celtics beat Pistons
• Kevin Garnett had 26 points and nine rebounds and Paul Pierce scored 22 points to lead the Boston Celtics to an 88-79 victory over the Detroit Pistons in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals, the Celtics' 15th consecutive home win.
• Disgraced basketball referee Tim Donaghy told investigators in the NBA betting probe that relationships among officials, coaches and players ''affected the outcome of games,'' his attorney said. The league said the charges were unfounded.
• The Chicago Bulls won the NBA Draft Lottery, giving them the right to choose between star freshmen Michael Beasley and Derrick Rose.
Football: Indianapolis gets Super Bowl
• Indianapolis was awarded the 2012 Super Bowl, the fourth time a cold-weather city will host the NFL's championship game.
• The NFL put more teeth in its personal conduct policy when Commissioner Roger Goodell announced he would fine teams whose players are suspended for disciplinary reasons.
• One of the new owners of the St. Louis Rams says he has been approached by ''several people'' about selling the team and there is ''every intention'' of keeping the NFL team in St. Louis. Chip Rosenbloom issued a statement, denying a report by Yahoo Sports that the team was on the market and being shopped for up to $900 million, with a sale raising the possibility of a return to Los Angeles.
• NFL owners voted unanimously to end their labor agreement with the players' union in 2011. The league and union insisted the next three seasons won't be interrupted by a contract dispute and both sides are working toward a new deal.
• All NFL rookies will visit the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton in the next three months as part of their league orientation. The tour will include talks by former NFL players and members of the hall of fame staff. The idea behind the visit comes from Michael Irvin. He suggested it to Goodell last summer when the former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver was inducted into the hall.
• The Dallas Cowboys signed running back Marion Barber and cornerback Terence Newman to long-term extensions, just in time to beat a deadline that would've changed how the money is spread over the salary cap. Barber received a $45 million, seven-year contract that includes $16 million in guaranteed bonuses. It's worth $21 million over the first three years. Newman's deal is a six-year extension.
• Quarterback Matt Ryan, the No. 3 pick in the NFL Draft, signed a $72 million, six-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons.
