Dungy family to adopt boy

Colts coach Tony Dungy and his wife are in the process of adopting an infant boy. Dungy, 50, said he expects to complete the adoption in about two weeks. The 2¹/₂-month-old's name is Justin. "Everybody's doing very well," the former Bucs coach said last week. "We haven't told very many people yet because it won't be finalized for another few weeks." But NBC broadcaster Al Michaels said during the Colts' preseason game Sunday that Dungy and his wife, Lauren, are adopting the boy. The decision to adopt was made in March, just a few months after Dungy's 18-year-old son, James, was found dead Dec. 22 in his North Tampa apartment of a suicide. They have other four children.

Glavine's future may depend on test for clot

Tom Glavine's season may be in jeopardy. The Mets left-hander will have his left shoulder examined for a possible blood clot after feeling coldness in his ring finger. He is scheduled for a CT scan today. "When you start hearing blood clots and aneurysms and stuff like that, you start thinking heart attacks or strokes and stuff. It's not the same thing," he said. "Believe me, I've asked that question to every doctor I've talked to." Glavine could miss little time or the rest of the season.
