ESPN's Mark Schlabach profiled agent http://www.officialcoltsnflstore.com/johnny-unitas-jersey_c-400.html Jimmy Sexton, who has become known as one of the most powerful players in college football with coaching clients that include Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher. But his NFL clients include some of the league's best players and several coaches including Buffalo's Rex Ryan. Some of Sexton's most recent deals: Securing a four-year, $84 million extension for San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers -- which included $65 million guaranteed -- and a six-year, $114 million deal for Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. Sexton also negotiated a five-year, $71.25 million extension for Atlanta Falcons receiver Julio Jones. Interestingly, Schlabach notes that Sexton's ascent came as a result of just one college friend, who happened to be a really good football player. He was a 20-year-old equipment manager Tim Wright Authentic Jersey at Tennessee in 1983, when Volunteers defensive end Reggie White was considered one of the premier prospects in the draft. During a walk-through practice at the Citrus Bowl, two men in trench coats approached Sexton. One of them was Pepper Rodgers, coach of the Memphis Showboats of the up-and-coming United States Football League, and the other was Robert Fraley, an agent. They knew Sexton and White were close friends and shared a dorm suite at UT. "It was like a scene out of a movie," Sexton said. "Do you know how much money Lawrence Taylor makes in the NFL?" Fraley asked Sexton. "He's a great player," Sexton said. "How much does he make?" "He makes $400,000," Fraley said. "He's the http://www.nfl49ersofficialauthentic.com/Craig-Dahl-Jersey highest-paid defensive player in the NFL. We want you to go in there and tell Reggie White we're going to offer him $1.5 million as soon as the game is over tomorrow night." Sexton ran into the locker room and found White. "Big Dog, you're about ready to get paid," Sexton told him.

I had a split second to come to terms with winning Colts Frank Gore Authentic Jersey the Davis Cup before I was mobbed by my team-mates. One of the special things about this competition is you get to celebrate with your team-mates straight away, whereas after any other win you don't get to see them until maybe an hour after the match has finished. On Sunday it was immediate, and I felt the full force of the team! It's not the first time, it happened to me once at school after I scored a goal and everybody then jumped on top of me, so it brought back a few memories. I actually get claustrophobic, so it was fine at the beginning when Leon got to me and then a couple of others but when there were a few more and I couldn't move, I started to panic and shouted to all of them "get off!" 'We should make the most of this' The next couple of days will be much more fun Josh McCown Womens Jersey than after my two Grand Slam wins, for sure. I regret maybe not celebrating as much as I should have done after some of my other wins, because now I know how much effort goes into achieving them. You never know when the next one might come - it may never - so we should make the most it. That's why we spent an hour and a half on court after the match taking selfies and chatting with the supporters. I don't really have many personal photos to be honest, but hopefully it made the day that bit more special for those who travelled over to Belgium. It did take its toll on me a bit though - I could barely stand up at the end of it! By the time I got back to the locker room, I think everyone had enjoyed a few glasses of champagne but I jumped in an ice bath immediately. I'd started to stiffen up from not getting to cool down, stretch or go through my normal routine after matches. Standing around in wet clothes is not very good for you. I do now make sure that I spend the time after http://www.nfl49ersofficialauthentic.com/Jerry-Rice-Jersey wins like this with the people that I want to spend time with. Right now I want to spend my time with the rest of the team, and also my family and friends. There are plenty of characters here and it will be great over the next day or two to enjoy some celebrations. I would imagine Dan Evans is the most experienced on our team in that respect.

Andy Murray didn't need the Davis Cup on his Eddie Goldman Limited Jersey sideboard - or in his wheelbarrow - to put him in the pantheon of Britain's sporting greats. He achieved that a long time ago, not by beating David Goffin in Ghent but by beating Novak Djovokic at Flushing Meadows in 2012 and again at Wimbledon in 2013. Sunday was one of the most emotional days Murray has had in tennis, but it needs to be put in its proper place in the pecking order of his achievements. Wimbledon and the US Open are arguably unrivalled at the top, then there's the Olympic gold and after that the Davis Cup. Having ended a 76-year wait for a British male to win the US Open, a 77-year wait for a Briton to win Wimbledon, a 79-year wait for Britain to win the Davis Cup and a 104-year wait for somebody from these parts to win an Olympic tennis gold, Murray is rapidly constructing enough memories for a one-man museum. There was a vast feel-good factor about Hroniss Grasu Elite Jersey what happened in Belgium. Even those of us watching on television could almost reach out and touch the atmosphere. Almost as striking as the tennis itself was the emotional impact it had on Murray. Winning for your nation, with your brother and your mates by your side, lent the thing an unmistakable power. 'Not the World Cup of tennis' Something else needs to be said, though. The Davis Cup is a peculiar animal. This past week it's been regularly described as the World Cup of tennis. It's clearly nothing of the kind. For the elite of the game it's fifth on the list of events they would like to win every year - sometimes not even fifth during an Olympic year. In golf terms, it's the Players Championship, the so-called fifth major. But even that doesn't quite cover it. Sometimes the elite give it a miss. All the world's leading golfers will turn up for the Players, but they don't for the Davis Cup. Not always. That's not to denigrate Sunday's victory, but it's an attempt to put it into context - while whistling in the wind you suspect. The Davis Cup World Group contained the http://www.bearsofficialnflprostore.com/Authentic-Kevin-White-Jersey top 16 nations. Spain have three players in the top 20 but they're not in the World Group because their marquee names don't play in the Davis Cup often enough. That's a weakness of the championship. The Czech Republic, winners in 2012 and 2013, went out to Australia this year. A large part of the reason why the Czechs won back-to-back Davis Cups was because their star man, the current world number six, Tomas Berdych, was present and firing. Berdych didn't play in the 3-2 loss to Australia.

Counting the decade before he became http://www.nfl49ersofficialauthentic.com/Eric-Reid-Jersey commissioner, Roger Goodell has been working to put an NFL franchise back in Los Angeles and inside a new stadium for as long as it took 100,000 slave laborers to build the Great Pyramid of Giza. So how's the construction project going? Funny you should ask. The hot-button issue of Goodell's tenure as commissioner is finally front and center as the league's 32 teams meet Wednesday in Dallas - but only because a trio of owners forced his hand. The St. Louis Rams, San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders want to relocate to Los Angeles in time to usher in the 2016 season, and they want deadlines set before they depart Dallas to decide the issue by the time the Super Bowl rolls around. A vote later than that likely puts off any move to Los Angeles until 2017. Rams owner Stan Kroenke wants to build and largely finance his stadium on a site he owns in Inglewood. Chargers owner Dean Spanos and Raiders boss Mark Davis plan to share and also bear most of the costs for a stadium at a site they own just down the road in Carson. The competing bids have already divided the league's owners like few issues before. Neither side can likely muster the two-thirds majority of owners - 24 - needed for approval. Both, however, appear to have enough votes to block the other. The stalemate has already damaged the Robert Mathis Womens Jersey three teams trying to leave and efforts by the cities trying to keep them. At the moment, King Solomon couldn't craft a solution to make them all whole again. Worse, the owners might just do what they've done every other time someone inquired about the ''NFL vacancy'' sign hanging in the nation's second-largest market for the last 20 years: Schedule another meeting and continue counting their money. So despite the millions spent on those campaigns to date, any one of the franchises, or all three, could leave the meetings empty-handed and find an even-angrier fan base awaiting their return. At this point, it's fair to ask how we got here. Goodell was tasked by his predecessor, Paul Tagliabue, with finding a replacement for Los Angeles shortly after the Raiders and Rams (then based in Anaheim) both played their last regular-season games there on Christmas Eve, 1994. Plenty happened in the interim; none of it resulted in one shovel of dirt being overturned so far. Goodell became commissioner in 2006 and Jonathan Casillas Womens Jersey eventually handed off the Los Angeles project to aide Eric Grubman. Proposals to develop a handful of sites from a range of deep-pocketed developers came and went. The league nixed them all, in large part because cities in California repeatedly refused to add sizeable public subsidies to the mix, even as the league was blackmailing other cities across the NFL map into doing just that. A decade ago, a reputable study found the average NFL stadium received 65 percent of its funding from the public, and the league didn't want to set a dangerous precedent. And for a while, using the L.A. market as a stalking horse worked to perfection.

New York (AFP) - Tom Brady urged the Ben Gardner Youth Jersey New England Patriots on Monday to use their first loss of the season as motivation, describing the upset defeat to the Denver Broncos as one of the lowest points of his career. The Patriots' chances of going through the season unbeaten ended in snowy Denver on Sunday night, when Broncos running back C.J. Anderson raced over for a touchdown in overtime to clinch a 30-24 win. The defeat jolted the Patriots (10-1), who had been tipped by many to go through the regular season unbeaten as they look to defend their Super Bowl crown. Brady told WEEI sports radio on Monday the Patriots had struggled to accept a defeat which also left star tight end Rob Gronkowski nursing a knee injury. "It was a very Authentic Cameron Erving Jersey hard loss," Brady said. "I don't think I've ever been so visibly pissed off after a loss. And I think everyone felt the same way. Hopefully we can use it as motivation going forward." While Brady suggested the Patriots had been on the wrong end of some debatable officiating decisions, ultimately the players were responsible for the outcome. "Like I said, there's things that we could have done better. And it's certainly not to leave it up to a call here or a call there or one player," Brady said. "There's things across the board that we need to do a better job of and we can do a better job of. And that's what the focus is going to be this week." Meanwhile, reports said on Monday that http://www.bearsofficialnflprostore.com/Authentic-Hroniss-Grasu-Jersey the knee injury suffered by Gronkowski was unlikely to keep him out for more than one game. "I think they'll figure out kind of what's going on with him today and plan accordingly," Brady said. "All our fingers are crossed that it's nothing serious." The Patriots face the Philadelphia Eagles (4-7) in their next game.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The NFL officiating department http://www.nfl49ersofficialauthentic.com/Carlos-Hyde-Jersey told Tennessee Titans interim coach Mike Mularkey that a crucial fourth-down call against the Titans that gave Oakland a chance to win was "a poorly officiated play," Mularkey said. A holding penalty against cornerback B.W. Webb gave the Raiders a first down with 1:50 remaining in the game and they scored the go-ahead touchdown two plays later for the 24-21 win. Safety Michael Griffin broke up Derek Carr's fourth-and-8 pass from the Titans' 36-yard line into the end zone intended for receiver Andre Holmes. But the crew headed by referee Jeff Triplette threw a flag and said Webb held receiver Amari Cooper on the other side of the field not far downfield. Webb said after the game he was 100 percent Jonathan Casillas Authentic Jersey not guilty of the violation. After reviewing it on film, Mularkey had the same opinion he did Sunday. “I didn’t see,” he said. “There’s no restriction. I couldn’t see it on tape.” In addition to the Titans being flagged for a violation that didn’t happen, Mularkey said the Raiders were not flagged for at least two violations that did happen. Mularkey said the play should have been blown dead at the start as receiver Michael Crabtree committed a false start. And before Griffin’s breakup, Mularkey said Holmes committed offensive pass interference against both Griffin and cornerback Coty Sensabaugh. “I vetted my frustration about that, and http://www.officialcoltsnflstore.com/ricky-jean-francois-jersey_c-403.html they said if you guys (in the press) have any questions on that, call them,” Mularkey said. In response to an email from ESPN.com, however, league spokesman Michael Signora said: “We do not comment on conversations between the officiating department and the clubs.”

An MRI showed that New England Patriots tight Authentic Eddie Goldman Jersey end Rob Gronkowski has a bruised right knee but no tears, a source told ESPN's Dianna Russini on Monday. A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Gronkowski's injury is considered a "minor knee strain." He is not expected to play this week against the Eagles, a source told Schefter, and he is considered week-to-week. How quickly Gronkowski returns will be a pain tolerance issue, sources told Schefter, but he is expected to be back before the end of the regular season. Gronkowski was carted off the field after hurting his right knee in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Denver Broncos. The Patriots immediately announced that Authentic Philip Rivers Jersey Gronkowski would not return to the game. ESPN footage showed Gronkowski walking with a slight limp from the X-ray room to the Patriots' locker room. On Monday morning on WEEI, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said he spent the morning digesting the loss to the Broncos as well as Gronkowski's injury. "Tough game. This one hurts," Brady said. "I think the circumstances of the game, the circumstances of the situation that we were in -- having a good lead in the fourth quarter, then having a couple huge third downs that we made called back by penalty, then losing a player like Gronk in the fourth quarter, and then fighting back like we did to get it to overtime." Gronkowski suffered the injury with 2 minutes, 49 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, when Denver defensive back Darian Stewart hit him low on an incomplete pass. Gronkowski's leg whipped back as it made contact with Stewart. He immediately writhed in pain on the http://www.nflbrownsofficialshop.com/Authentic-Randy-Starks-Jersey ground before being tended to by the Patriots' medical staff and was eventually carted to the locker room. "I hate to see it, but it really is the only way defenders can hit now," Brady said Sunday. "I bet if you asked the players, they would really rather go high than low. I don't think it's dirty. I just think that is how football is played now."

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The Dolphins lost to http://www.chiefsnflofficialproshop.com/Kyle-Williams-Jersey the New York Jets for the second time this season, but that wasn't the main thing that got under Miami quarterback Ryan Tannehill's skin Sunday night. Tannehill was upset that Jets players -- led by safety Calvin Pryor -- celebrated Pryor's big hit that knocked Miami receiver Rishard Matthews out of the game in the first quarter. Tannehill threw a poor pass over the middle to Matthews, which led to Pryor's getting a free shot on the receiver. After the hit, Pryor celebrated while doctors attended to Matthews, who didn't return to the game due to rib and chest injuries. "I was worried about Rishard, but I heard Bob Lilly Womens Jersey some [teammates] talking about it on the sidelines," Tannehill said. "That's kind of a classless move to celebrate when a guy is injured. Obviously, it was a good hit, a clean hit. But to celebrate when a guy is down is a classless move." "I don't think it was a taunting type of move," he said. "That's not who we are. We're not going to taunt a person who's down. I think we were more excited about CP and the hit he had, so you had celebrating. You're not noticing a guy is down. You're more celebrating with your teammate. I know me and a couple of guys, when we saw he was down, we took a knee and prayed for him. So it wasn't taunting." The Jets (6-5) won the game 38-20 to complete Joe Vellano Authentic Jersey a season sweep over the Dolphins (4-6). Tannehill finished with 351 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.

DENVER – Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning entered Authentic Ty Sambrailo Jersey Sports Authority Field at Mile High on Sunday to the roar of the crowd -- at least from the fans clustered around the players’ entrance to the stadium. But he also entered with a walking cast on his left foot and, as expected, will not play against the New England Patriots. Manning will miss, at minimum, two games as he deals with a partially torn plantar fascia. Manning arrived roughly two hours before Sunday night’s kickoff and is expected to watch the game from the sideline, one of the team areas near the locker room or in the coaches’ booth. But the 18-year veteran has participated in meetings all week, has been on the practice field at times and did whatever he could to help Brock Osweiler prepare for his second career start. Because the decision to put Manning’s injured foot in a walking cast was made last Monday, after Manning visited Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte, N.C., Manning did not receive treatment this past week. It allowed Manning more time to spend in Youth Jon Ryan Jersey the offensive meetings with Osweiler and the other quarterbacks. As Osweiler put it this week: “Peyton’s been great to me, he was in meetings, he’s been talking me through his past experiences going against the Patriots and whatnot. He was out here at practice helping me out, asking me questions. Peyton’s been a great teammate and obviously I love having him around, it’s a great brain to pick." The Broncos signed Christian Ponder this past week for depth, but Ponder, who arrived Wednesday, was a game-day inactive Sunday night. Rookie Trevor Siemian was the team’s backup against the Patriots. On Manning’s potential return this season, Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said: “Absolutely, he’s doing everything he can to come back." Kubiak also added this week: “The injury is http://www.nflcowboysofficial.com/Authentic-Lael-Collins-Jersey frustrating for him, but his frame of mind is good right now and the fact that this is what I’m doing and the fact that (the cast) is going to come off, go back to work, it should help me. He has a clear understanding of where we’re trying to go next."

BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland Browns coach Mike Pettine quickly shut down any further discussion of Johnny Manziel on Friday. Asked why Manziel was still on the team in light Cole Beasley Kids Jersey of the fact he had lied to the coaching staff about his most recent party video, Pettine said he was "not going there." "When I say I'm sorry to disappoint, I'm not really," Pettine said. "But I'm just not going there today. We got a game to get ready for Monday night." A league source confirmed to ESPN on Thursday that Manziel had lied to the coaching staff about his most recent party video. Pettine said Friday he already had explained his thinking behind making Manziel the team's third quarterback one week after making him the starter. He added he already had made clear that "trust and accountability" were the issues that led to Manziel's demotion. Manziel was demoted one day after an Internet Jeff Allen Authentic Jersey video surfaced showing him holding a champagne bottle while partying at a club in Austin, Texas, during the team's bye weekend. On Wednesday, Pettine declined to comment on whether Manziel had admitted the video was from the bye weekend. Friday, he declined to discuss the situation at all. Josh McCown will start for the Browns Monday night against Baltimore. "The decision's been made," offensive http://www.patriotsnflofficialonline.com/Darrelle-Revis-Jersey coordinator John DeFilippo said. "I support that decision 100 percent." Pettine and DeFilippo both said they were not sure if Manziel would be active against the Ravens.
