The Travel Channel show, which features Jones traveling to countries and learning their favorite sports, has been picked up for a second 10-episode season. Stop one is Iceland.

-- During minicamp, film crews from HBO and NFL Films were shooting early footage for the upcoming season of "Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Cincinnati Bengals." The crew shot interviews with Chad Ochocinco, Andre Smith, Leon Hall and Bernard Scott, among others.

The five-episode series debuts on Aug. 12. Steve Trout of NFL Films said that they will shoot 200 hours of footage for each hour-long show.

-- The roster currently stands at 81 after four players were released following the final minicamp practice.

Among those waived were two of last year's draft picks - tight end Matt Sherry (sixth round) and wide receiver Mario Urrutia (seventh round). Sherry was on injured reserve last year after suffering a shoulder injury in the preseason while Urrutia was on the practice squad. Quarterback Billy Farris and long snapper James Smith were college free agents.

-- Team officials foresee no problems in signing their middle- to late-round picks. It's the first-round pick though that continues to be a concern as the team looks to be preparing for a long standoff with Andre Smith.

Negotiations also have not started with second-round pick Rey Maualuga. Last year's second-round pick, Jerome Simpson, did not sign until the day the Bengals reported to training camp.

-- The Bengals will report to Georgetown (Ky.) College on July 31, with an afternoon practice scheduled for the next day (3-5 p.m.). The first two-a-day session will be Aug. 1 (8:30-10:30 a.m. and 7-9 p.m.). The team will break camp on Aug. 18.
