MARINOVICH SENT TO JAIL FOR A WEEK

A judge told Avenger quarterback Todd Marinovich to report to jail for a
week, then check into a stricter drug treatment program because the one
he's in isn't working out.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Stephen Marcus ordered Marinovich to
appear June 28 for a week in county jail. Following that he will enter a
residential treatment program.

Marinovich, 31, pleaded no contest March 27 to a felony heroin possession
charge, avoiding a prison sentence by agreeing to enter a yearlong
treatment program that included counseling and group sessions.

"It wasn't working out, he wasn't making the progress that the court felt
was sufficient," district attorney's spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said.

Marinovich rejoined the Avengers last week after serving a two-game
suspension in May for "conduct detrimental to the team" following ejections
in consecutive games.
