@JasonLaCanfora: Tom Brady's extension with the Pats runs from 2011-2014 (he's already signed for 2010) and averages about $19.5M/season. Most ever, for now.

@Adam_Schefter: Here are details to deal Peter King reported on: Tom Brady's four-year contract is worth $72 million, including $48.5 million guaranteed.

coming from Twitter. So I guess the Colts had better get ready to pay Manning more than this.

here is the story:

The New England Patriots and quarterback Tom Brady have finalized a four-year contract extension that will be officially filed tomorrow, a source close to the negotiation confirmed Thursday.

The extension gets added onto the final year of Brady's contract and goes through 2014. Financial terms and structure of the deal are not known, but it is likely to fall in the range of $18 million to $20 million per season.

Sports Illustrated's Peter King first broke news of the finalized agreement during halftime of NBC's broadcast of the NFL's season-opening game between the New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings, saying he spoke to Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who told him the deal was finalized.

		John Kuester had spent nearly 20 years in the NBA before Joe Dumars made him Pistons head coach in time for the 2009-10 season, and sometimes it felt like 20 years of bad luck were crammed into his first season in the big chair as an avalanche of injuries buried the Pistons in a 27-win campaign. “The experience was very important,” he said Wednesday. “It was different, because in my 20 years I hadn’t experienced the number of things that did occur last year in regards to the injuries and whatever. That was an adjustment, but you learn from that. I was able to sit down with Joe and evaluate a number of things that we’ve got to improve upon, things we did do well and things we’ve got to get better at. That’s the important thing.” Like a litany of his players who’ve echoed the same mantra over the summer, Kuester is eager to get going and put last season further behind him, confident that a healthy roster will position the Pistons for results that will catch casual observers by surprise. “There’s no question that we’re an outstanding basketball team if things stay right,” he said, “and we’re expecting it to stay right this season. The thing about it is our goals have not changed at all. We can be as good as anybody, in my mind. On any given night, we can put up big numbers on offense. Defensively, we’ve got to show our staples and understand what needs to be done, but I’m real excited about our group.” Some other Kuesterisms as training camp’s opening is now less than three weeks away: # On Ben Wallace’s return: “I’ve had a history with Ben throughout his career. He’s been very valuable for our team and our organization. To get him back and have him be able to talk to our young players about what it is to be a professional and what it takes, to me he’s got the potential to be a Hall of Fame player.” # On Greg Monroe getting to learn from Wallace: “Ben will be paired up with him a lot. Greg will have an opportunity to find out what it is to play against one of the best defenders in our league.” # On finding minutes for Tracy McGrady, Rip Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince, Ben Gordon and Austin Daye: “You’re always constantly thinking about things. To have an opportunity to have more than less is always better. Having an abundance of talent more so than not having enough talent is good for us. That’s one of the things I see in this group – we’ve got a lot of talented players.” # On what he’s seen in observing McGrady’s workouts: “I did not see him run the court as opposed to watching him in his quickness drills. What Arnie (Kander) is trying to do is get him to where he is comfortable in all phases of running, sliding, ballhandling, whatever. What little I saw of him doing the quickness drills, he was outstanding.” # On the progress he saw from Daye in Summer League: “I know that Austin was so committed to becoming a better basketball player and it showed in those first couple of Summer League games until he got hurt. He has a bright future. I’m real excited about watching him when preseason comes because here’s a young man who’s only in his second year, but I’m expecting big things from him.” # On whether he knows what five-man unit he’ll send out on the first day of training camp: “We’ll figure that out when it comes closer to camp. There’s a long period of time before that happens, so we’ll just see what happens.” # On whether last year’s frequent use of Rodney Stuckey or Rip Hamilton at small forward throughout preseason and in the rare instances the Pistons were at full strength would continue this year with McGrady’s addition: “There are a lot of options we’re going to have this season, but the big thing is seeing how everything plays out in training camp, to give these guys an opportunity. We’re going to look at a lot of different lineups so we can get a better feel of what our team is going to be about. We have a tremendous amount of flexibility.” PISTONS: Q: 'Our Goals Have Not Changed'

i don't know about being "as good as anybody," but i think niggas are sleepin :digit:

Chris Johnson and Adrian Peterson will just have to agree to disagree.

On Wednesday, Peterson told “The Dan Patrick Show” he is a better running back than Johnson, pointing out there wasn’t “anything” Johnson does better. Looking for the follow up on Thursday, Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean asked Johnson how he compares himself to Peterson.

“I don’t,” Johnson responded. “I am the best back in the league. He is not. I don’t think it is close. I feel like I am above all the other running backs in the league. I feel like I am above him.”

Kudos to Wyatt for keeping this one going.

Peterson will have chance to respond on the field tonight against the Saints.

September 09, 2010. We here at www.MediaTakeOut.com are used to seeing NBA superstars dating INDUSTRY JUMPOFFS, or SKRIPPERS. Rare is it that we find them dating BEAUTIFUL , SMART and SELF CONFIDENT women.

But that's EXACTLY what Milwalkee Bucks star Brandon Jennings had . . . until he F*CKED IT UP!!!

According to an EXTREMELY reliable source, Brandon was dating UCLA HONORS student Brittany for almost 2 years. The two were MADLY IN LOVE and were set to get married. That was until Brandon's SECRET came out.

The NBA superstar had been CHEATING on Brittany, and had gotten one of his JUMPS pregnant.

While many women would just LOOK THE OTHER WAY, Brittany didn't. She did what any self respecting woman who just got her heart broken would do - she DUMPED HIS AZZ and put him on EXTRA BLAST . . . by doing it on FACEBOOK!!!






Some of those facebook replies are hilarious :rofl:

@Adam_Schefter: Even better for Miles Austin: his deal looks to be closer to a six year, $57 million package.

just saw this on twitter from Adam and NFL.com

here is the story:

Miles Austin’s rise to prominence in the last year has now led to a six-year contract extension from the Cowboys.

With the regular season just days away, the Cowboys and Austin’s agent, David Dunn , came to the agreement on Thursday and it keeps with the team’s history of locking up its own players to multi-year deals, like DeMarcus Ware, Tony Romo, Jason Witten and Jay Ratliff.

Austin is now signed through 2016.

The new deal is a result of his 2009 season in which he caught 81 passes for 1,320 yards and 11 touchdowns in just nine starts. With Roy Williams out with a rib injury, Austin caught 10 passes for a team-record 250 yards and two touchdowns, including a 60-yard game winner in overtime.

He became the 15th undrafted wide receiver to record more than 1,000 receiving yards in a season and the 12th with 10 or more touchdowns in a season.

Austin joined the Cowboys in 2006 out of Monmouth and saw limited action his first three seasons, catching just 18 passes for 354 yards and three touchdowns, but he flashed potential of a No. 1 wide receiver.

Austin was scheduled to make $3.168 million this season off of a restricted free agent tender.

In 2008, the Cowboys gave Roy Williams a six-year, $54 million deal that included $27 million guaranteed. In July, Dez Bryant signed a five-year deal worth $11.8 million that includes $8.3 million guaranteed.

TMZ has learned ... Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a suspect in a battery domestic violence case.

Multiple cop cars from the Las Vegas Metro Police Department showed up at Mayweather's home early this morning. We're told cops received a call at 5:03 AM from Floyd's baby mama, Josie Harris, who claimed the boxer attacked her.

Law enforcement sources say police were unable to find Floyd and are now looking to interview him.

Cops want to speak to Floyd before determining if they will arrest him.

The photo above was taken at one of Floyd's homes in Vegas moments ago.

In 2003 Harris accused Mayweather of punching and kicking her inside a Bentley in Vegas. Charges were filed but dismissed in 2005 after Harris testified she lied to cops because she was angry that Floyd had left her for another woman.
