While all other San Diego Chargers rookies reported for training camp on time on Sunday, the only unsigned rookie, first-round pick Ryan Mathews was staying at home in his favorite Brett Favre jersey, claiming that he would hold out the whole training camp and even skip regular-season games if the Chargers do not offer a satisfying long-term contract.
If Mathews really means it, he will join veterans like wide receiver Vincent Jackson, left tackle Marcus McNeil and linebacker Shawne Merriman to hold out the training camp because of contract disputes. However, the rookie is expected to return earlier than Jackson, because the Chargers are likely to offer a rookie contract to him during the training camp, while a veteran like Jackson still has to fulfill the last year of his current contract before it expires. A rookie contract will surely cost much less than a veteran’s contract extension.
Wearing his favorite Michael Irvin jersey hanging around with his friends, Jackson is determined to get something from the team before wear back his team uniform. It’s hard to say which side will win and Jackson might be risking his career by doing so.

Ravens rookie LB Kindle will miss training camp with head injury
As a second-round draft pick of the 2010 NFL Draft but being drafted by the Baltimore Ravens as the team’s first pick, rookie linebacker Sergio Kindle was mentioned little during this offseason. And when he was first mentioned in headline, it was unfortunately bad news about his non-football injury.
The Ravens reported on its website Sunday afternoon that Kindle fell down two flights of stairs and sustained a head injury while visiting a friend in Austin, Texas. When he was immediately sent to hospital, Kindle was wearing a Brett Favre jersey and lost his consciousness. He is now in stable condition and being treated, but it’s unlikely for him to attend the Ravens’ training camp on Monday. And it’s still unsure when he will be able to return on field or whether he would have to skip his entire rookie season.
The outside linebacker from Texas had been dreaming of put on Saints jersey before being drafted by the Ravens. So the only good thing with the injury could be that he could be stay as a Saints fan for a longer time before having to play for the Ravens.

Giants rookie safety Chad Jones needs more surgeries
The New York Giants rookie safety Chad Jones has to stay in hospital longer than previously expected as doctors said that he needs several more surgeries to repair the damages on his left leg. The news caused more people to doubt that whether the rookie would be able to play football gain.
At the moment, the only good news is that Jones has been out of intensive care and his father, Al Jones said that everything was going on well. At the moment, the family is not willing to mention the young man’s football career at all, and their only wish is that he could be healthy again.
"Nobody has said whether Chad will play again or not," said Al Jones, "We're not even asking that question right now. Things are going well. They have shown that they are taking good care of Chad while they're doing what they need to do to make sure their investment is protected."
While facing reporters, Al Jones sound optimistic about his son’s sports career, saying that Jones would be able to play baseball if he has to quit football, and even if he will never be able to become a professional athlete again and can only watch games on sideline in his favorite Brett Favre jersey, it’s still fine with the family as long as he is living well.

Vikings TE Shiancoe is looking forward to a new contract
The Minnesota Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe still has two years left on his current contract with the team, but he is already making effort to get a contract extension. Perhaps he just believes that early preparation is better than arguing for the extension shortly before the current contract expires.
Recently always wearing Brett Favre jersey to show his expectation of the starting quarterback’s return, Shiancoe himself is not expecting the team to agree on extending his contract in near future. He and his camp are talking with Vikings but that does not necessarily mean a deal will be in the works soon, and many people believe that Shiancoe is not going to get anything done before the end of 2010 season. What is more likely to happen could be that he will only get a new contract after a new CBA is hammered out.
While the Vikings take Shiancoe’s contract extension as long shot, they are feeling much more pressing on contract negotiation with another player, running back Adrian Peterson, who has only one year left on his current contract.

Gift ideas for Father’s Day
Don’t tell me you are not going to send your father gift for the Father’s Day because your father told you not to do so, you should anyway prepare something for him on that special day. This is the only day for father only in a 365-day year, and it’s the best chance for you to show your love to the special man who loves you more than any other man in the world.
Gift idea No.1 is sending a gift. No matter how cheap or how small the gift is, it’s important for you to give it. Even if you send him a wrong version of Brett Favre jersey, he would be still happy because you still remember that he is a Favre fan.
Gift idea No. 2: Be special. Try best to avoid sending a gift that almost everyone else you know sends to their fathers. You own father is a special man and he would love to know you take him as an especially important man.
Gift idea No. 3: Make sure the gift is really what your father likes. Many people take what they like as good gifts for their fathers, but actually father is a different person from you and he has his own favorite things, so show your considerateness and pick a gift that your father loves.

49ers LB Lawson threatens to leave if not getting new contract
The San Francisco 49ers star linebacker Manny Lawson is now attempting to attract some attention from the team as he wants a new contract as the reason for him to stay with the team. He even threatened that he would leave for another team if the 49ers keep silent on the contract issue.
The outside linebacker showed up for a mandatory minicamp on Thursday after missing the 49ers voluntary workouts. He says he needed a change in scenery and that he is in the best shape of his life. He claimed that he had received a few calls from other teams for possible cooperation. The Minnesota Vikings were among the teams and Lawson said he would like to play with a quarterback wearing No. 4 Brett Favre jersey under a contract matches his capability better.
Lawson was picked by the 49ers in 2006 as a first-round draft pick and he is currently in the last year of his five-year, $7.5 million contract and remains the lowest-paid outside linebacker in the team with a base salary of $630,000. No wonder he was so unhappy and wanted a scenery change.

Interesting scenes in this summer
This hot summer features a most popular event in South Africa, and the world is suddenly filled with all kinds of soccer elements. I’ve seen soccer-shaped ice-creams, team-logo face marks and even soccer version of Brett Favre jerseys. Fans are enthusiastic about their favorite sports event and cheers are heard everywhere whenever there is a game.
The World Cup is not what I like most for this summer. I like seeing people’s responses to their beloved teams’ wins or losses even more. Their expressions are so lively that you can’t help feeling summer is really a good season for a significant sports event as the heat just matches people’s passions. I like watching people in front of a TV or computer instead of the players on field. The scenes of fans enjoying games are much more interesting than the competitions between teams on screen.
Lady fans’ special ways of expressing their passions to a team are even more worth watching. I believe lady fans’ supports are a significant motivation for soccer players improve themselves. Just imagine a pretty girl crazily mover every parts of her sexy body to cheer for your success in scoring a point, every man will suddenly gather all the remaining energy to score more points.

Vikings kicker is unhappy with job switch
During the past couple of days, the Minnesota Vikings kicker Ryan Longwell had been in low mood as his job of kickoff was taken by an outsider, former Carolina Panthers kickoff specialist Rhys Lloyd. Longwell himself was reduced to play as a field-goal kicker.
Longwell had been the Vikings’ kickoff kicker for four seasons before Lloyd’s arrival, and he managed to set league-leading records in touchbacks for the past two seasons. However, the team thinks a kickoff specialist could handle the duties more professionally, and Longwell could fit better in the position of field-goal kicker. The team’s purpose is to improve the offense, but to Longwell, it sounds like eliminating all what he has achieved during the past few seasons and denial of his ability.
It seems that the Vikings have no intention to let Longwell go as they already paid a significant roster bonus to him. Actually, Longwell is currently one of the best paid kickers in the league. He has no reason to worry about his job. While still waiting for their starting quarterback to wear back the Brett Favre jersey, the Vikings surely do not want a kicker issue to cause distraction.

Favre fan won weight-losing competition
If you are at 526-pound fan for Brett Favre, I guess it would be very difficult for you to find a good Brett Favre jersey to fit your body. Actually, the problem is bothering quite a lot of over-weight sports fans, and the story of Michael Vent could teach them something about body building.
Vent has been a fan for Favre since he was pupil and always dreamed of being a star football player like Favre. However, with an inappropriate eating habit, he grew up into a 526-pound fat man, who surely had no chance to become an athlete in any kind of sports. What caused him to determine lose the extra weight was Favre’s performance in 2009. Just as many other people previously believed, Vent did not think Favre could play as excellent as before at age 40. To his surprise, Favre made it and led the Minnesota Vikings to the NFC championship game. Then Vent wondered, if a 40-year-old man could have that kind of success, why could not he himself, at age 25, do a much easier thing like losing weight?
In order to get strong enough motivation, Vent entered for a national weight-losing competition and had the audience supervise his own plan. By the end of the three-month competition, Vent successfully lost more than a half o his body weight to be a 264-pound handsome young man and won the championship of the competition. You can imagine how excited he was for that achievement. Now Vent is planning to buy a favorite Favre jersey and Vikings’ season-ticket with the prize he earned to watch the all the games played by Favre.
