CHICAGO - Randy Brown is a tough guy, well befitting of his nickname, Rambo. Tough enough, in fact, to admit the depths to which his latest re-injury has taken him.

``I haven't cried in a long time, but I cried Thursday,'' Brown said, recounting the hours after his groin went on him again near the end of practice. ``I stayed in bed all day and didn't answer the phone. The only person I talked to was my mother.''
