Roddick wins his 32nd title

Winning tournaments never gets old for Andy Roddick.

The 29-year-old American beat Gilles Muller of Luxembourg 1-6, 7-6 (7-2), 6-2 to win the Atlanta Open and earn his 32nd ATP World Tour title Sunday.

"I've won 32 times and in every one of them I've never assumed I was going to win again," Roddick said.

The only active male players with more career victories are 30-year-old Roger Federer (75) of Switzerland and 26-year-old Rafael Nadal (50) of Spain.

Berry is arrested again

Detroit Lions cornerback Aaron Berry has been arrested in Pennsylvania for the second time this offseason.

Cpl. Kyle Gautsch of the Harrisburg Police Department said Berry, 24, was taken into custody early Saturday morning on three charges of simple assault. Gautsch said there "was a weapon allegedly brandished during the incident."

Berry, who is from Harrisburg, was also arrested in that area June 23 on suspicion of DUI, failure to stop and render aid from an accident and other counts. He was set to enter a diversionary program as a result of that case.

Patterson to miss camp

The Philadelphia Eagles have ruled out defensive tackle Mike Patterson, 28, for training camp and possibly longer because an incision where he had brain surgery in January hasn't fully healed.

Patterson was diagnosed with a brain malformation in August after suffering a seizure during a training-camp practice at Lehigh University.

Broncos contact victims

Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning called hospital victims of the Colorado theater shooting in an attempt to lift their spirits.

A spokeswoman for the Medical Center of Aurora said Manning spoke one-on-one by phone with several patients.

Six other Broncos — Joe Mays, Ryan Clady, Chris Kuper, Ben Garland, Eric Decker and Jacob Tamme — visited with five patients at the hospital and also met with the emergency-room staff that provided initial treatment for many of the victims.

Fifty-eight people were wounded after a gunman clad in riot gear opened fire in a crowded theater early Friday where "The Dark Knight Rises" was being shown. Twelve people have died in the massacre.
