Michael Bamiro wants to be a player, not a fighter

CINCINNATI - Michael Bamiro has been getting a lot of attention in training camp, but not for the right reasons. The humongous guard from Stony Brook University has been involved in two fist-fights with teammates and was almost in a third. He's developing an unwanted reputation.

"I don't want to be known as the guy who goes out there and looks for problems," he told Newsday before the team's first joint practice with the Bengals on Tuesday. "That's not me."

There is a fine line between being a high-motor player and being one who is too aggressive in practices.
