Seahawks sign Richard Sherman toHe stood on the stage with spotlights beaming directly on his bow tie. With the coach on one side and general manager on http://www.broncosnflofficialproshop.com/Nike-Wes-Welker-Jersey.html the other, Sherman held up a Seattle Seahawks jersey with his named across the back.When Sherman entered the NFL as a fifth rounder, there was no fanfare. That all came on Wednesday as Sherman became the latest piece of the Super Bowl champions to be locked up for the long Ryan Clady Jersey term."I guess this is how it feels to be a first rounder," Sherman said after signing a four year contract extension with the Seahawks that will make him one of the highest paid cornerbacks in NFL history.Much in the tenor of doing things the way he wants, Sherman unveiled the extension on his website before the team could make the announcement. The two time, first team All Pro selection wrote the deal will pay him $57.4 million with $40 million guaranteed and will keep him in a Seahawks uniform through the 2018 season. The deal includes a reported $11 million signing bonus.It’s a massive deal for a player who earned $375,000 in base salary as a rookie in 2011. But Sherman insisted the money will not change the approach or attitude that has made him one of the top defensive players in football and a magnet for attention."I’m still the guy scrapping for a spot. You never lose that mentality. You can take a ragged dog that has been living on the streets for 10 years and put him in a brand new house with steak and lobster every night and he’s still the ragged dog that you got off the streets," Sherman said. "So I’m still the ragged dog off the street. That mentality isn’t something that I can change I don’t think. Even I wanted to, I can’t do it, It’s not a switch that I have."Sherman’s deal wraps up a solid offseason for the Seahawks prior to the NFL draft. Seattle re signed defensive end Michael Bennett before the start of free agency. They then reached extensions with coach Pete Carroll through 2016 and a four year, $40 million extension with All Pro free safety Earl Thomas."I’d like to thank Paul Allen for anteing up," Sherman said.Sherman said it was important to get the extension done before the start of the 2014 season and take any lingering doubt about his future out of the equation. He made a point of thanking nearly everyone on the Seahawks defense during his opening remarks. Sherman wanted to spend his career playing alongside Thomas and Kam Chancellor as part of a secondary that has developed into the best in the league. Sherman and Thomas will be under contract through 2018 and Chancellor is under contract through 2017."It was headed in the right direction for several weeks," Seattle general manager John Schneider said. "I thought it was time to get it tied up and let everybody move forward."Despite the pedigree of being a fifth round pick, the one thing Sherman has never lacked is bravado. Whether it was getting in the face of Tom Brady after a win in 2012, offseason social media arguments with other players or his comments about Michael Crabtree after the NFC championship game, Sherman has never hidden the swagger."The thing I struggle with Richard on is his confidence level," Schneider joked.Displaying his self confidence has made Sherman a target for criticism. It was never louder than the gap between the NFC championship and Super Bowl when Sherman’s shouting postgame rant on national television overshadowed the play he made to clinch the conference title against rival San Francisco.But all those moments have made Sherman Ryan Clady Authentic Jersey known outside of football and his consecutive seasons with eight interceptions. It’s why he was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by TIME Magazine and invited to the White House Correspondents’ dinner last weekend."It’s a great statement about a young man that demonstrated an extraordinary belief in himself and dedication to be a nerd in high school way back in his Dominguez (High School) days when he was a track star and a football player," Carroll said. "He was always in the classroom working on his stuff. He had a real vision on what he could become way back then and see it come all the way through to this day today, it is a new beginning for Richard and his career with all that goes along that makes this guy up. He’s really special."I like this move much, much more than what the Mariners did in signing Cano ( hated that signing, especially for a player that very well may be past his prime).Richard Sherman is, and will be one of the top players at his position. He plays all out and his deflection/tap in the SF game could very well have been the play that prevented the 49rs from going to the dance. RS is charismatic, bright and talented. I love his involvement with things that are not football related. He deserves to be paid well as an NFL career is much shorter than baseball and much harder on the body. There are very few players in the NFL that have garnished as much attention as Richard does; I know many think it is bad attention, but this is very physical sport that requires a ton of adrenaline which is way beyond the adrenaline armchair quarterback has ever seen. If you want to know what focus and mindset that is needed to perform at this level, that YouTube video should give a clue, as RS’s adrenaline was still flowing. I am sooooo looking forward to his and the Hawks future."Sometimes I do feel disrespected by you Von Miller Jersey reporters. But that TMs okay.Seattle Seahawk cornerback Richard Sherman is here tonight.(Applause.) And he gave me some great tips on how to handle it. JakeTapper, don TMt you ever Von Miller Youth Jersey talk about me like that! (Laughter.) I TMm thebest President in the game! (Laughter.)What do you think, Richard? Was that good? A little more feeling next time?"When the most powerful man on earth asks for your advise on how to be better respected, you know you are at the top of your game! Well done!He is not worth anywhere near that sort of money. No one is, and yet, in our free market economy, he is worth WHATEVER someone is willing to pay him. The negative Nellies who moan about people not being "worth it" need to remind themselves to live in the real world.For argument’s sake, broncosnflofficialproshop.com/Nike-Peyton-Manning-Jersey.html let’s say there are 1.435 million Seahawks fans in the world. If he brings each of them $10 worth of enjoyment this season, about 60 cents per game, then he’s worth it.I realize sports are not everyone’s cup of tea, but you anti sports people need to realize that sports is but one of many cultural/artistic activities that nurture the human soul, and arguably, the most important, hence the separate section in the newspaper and on the nightly news.

France is World’s cheap jerseys Best Place to Live
Nearly a decade ago, Elizabeth Bonner moved to France with her husband and children. She’s never looked back, and the family has now renovated two historic chateaus in the French countryside.
"It has turned out to be a glorious undertaking," Bonner says. "We sit on our veranda on mild nights and are amazed by the brilliance of the stars. And we find ourselves wholesale nfl jerseys continually amused, enriched, and surprised by the experience of French life."
The "bon vivant" that France offers has led to its 1 ranking as the best place in the world to live.
For the fifth year running, says publisher Jackie Flynn, France has again earned the top spot as the best place in the world to live.
"In France, life is savored," says Flynn. "I don’t think anyone will argue that France is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, where there is so much pride in all the small details. The French love little window boxes filled with flowers, tidy gardens, pretty sidewalk cafes, and clean streets. Cities are well tended and with little crime."
This year once again, says Flynn, all the number crunching, rating, and ranking landed France at the top of the Index. France scores high marks across the board, from health care (100 points) to infrastructure (92 points) to its safety rating (100 points). But the main appeal of living in France, she says, is arguably its overall lifestyle. (It scores 81 points in the Culture and Leisure category.)
And despite high scores in nearly every category, France remains an affordable place to live, including for retirees on a budget. Flynn says that although Paris offers the best of everything, services don’t fall away in Alsace’s wine villages, in wild and lovely Corsica, and in other provinces like lavender scented Provence or seaside Languedoc.
And in fact, she says, provincial French properties are often quite affordable and lifestyles are less expensive than Paris. (7), Belgium (8), Canada (9), and Italy (10).
"It’s evident from our compilation that the British Commonwealth countries of Australia, New Zealand and Canada are doing very well, and despite the bumps in the road have managed dependable economic performance," Flynn says. "Australia moved from fifth place last year into second place this year, largely thanks to its remarkable economic recovery. It’s already officially out of recession."
Overall though, European countries slipped a little in International Living’s rankings this year, Flynn says, with the exceptions of France and Germany.
"Germany is taking giant strides toward economic recovery. And as for France, it ranks well in every category. It has a stable economy, top notch health care, and an overall wonderful quality of life. remains in the top 10," says Flynn, "We can’t ignore the state of its economy. scored 67 points in 2010 up from 57 last year but it’s still mired in recession, and in sector after sector the cost of sustaining the ’American Dream’ has escalated out of the reach of many. remains an excellent place to live, especially in terms of convenience, but it’s generally more expensive to live there now than it has been in years past."
In 2010, Flynn says International Living will continue to focus on several countries, where you can achieve both a high standard and a low cost of living. In addition to France and Italy (s 1 and 10 on the Quality of Life Index), these countries include Ecuador (39); Panama (34); Uruguay (19); Belize (63) Costa Rica (33) and Mexico (46).
To compile the Quality of Life Index, says Flynn, International Living editors compare almost 200 countries in nine categories: Cost of Living, Culture and Leisure, Economy, Environment, Freedom, Health, Infrastructure, Safety and Risk, and Climate. Data from government sources and resources like the World Health Organization and The Economist, are analyzed, and information is gathered from International Living’s many editors and correspondents around the world. Through its monthly magazine, extensive website and online bookstore, International Living shows readers how they can live better for less, travel farther, have a lot of fun, and maybe make a lot of money when they expand their world beyond their own shores. International Living has more than 200 correspondents traveling the globe, investigating the best opportunities for real estate, travel, retirement, and investment.

Silver Lake Golf Course Wes Welker JerseyMy wife and I played Silver Lake on an unseasonably chilly and rainy early October Sunday. Silver Lake is a par 70 layout (for men par 72 for women) in Silver Lake Park on Staten Island. The course has three tees, black, blue and silver. The black tees measure about 6,200 yards, the blues measure about 5,700 and the silvers measure about 5,400 yards. The course is hilly and contains a minimal amount of water in the form of streams and ponds to deal with. The greens were in good shape. Some of them are multi tiered, which makes putting a challenge if your approach shot is not close to the pin. The course overall was in good shape despite the light rainy weather. Due to the chill and rain, there were not many golfers on the course, so my wife and I were able to play in about 3 1/2 hours.There is a bar/restaurant that serves some simple food and beverages. There are quite a few TVs Wes Welker Authentic Jersey which came in handy on this NFL Sunday.We www.broncosnflofficialproshop.com/Nike-Von-Miller-Jersey.html paid about $43 for a weekend round with cart for an early afternoon tee off.

NFL Teams After Monday Demaryius Thomas Jersey NightPerception and reality are often two entirely different things when it comes to the world of sports betting. What should happen and what actually transpires are often on the opposite ends of the spectrum.One case in point is an NFL team that plays on Monday night. The prevailing logic is that the team’s entire routine has been throw out of whack, which along with one fewer day to prepare for its upcoming opponent, would make the team a decent one to wager against the following week.Looking at the actual results is a bit different, however, as http://www.official49ersnflproshop.com/Nike-Phil-Dawson-Jersey.html using my Stack Attack Pro Football 2013 14 program, I was able to see these teams were 92 91 3 against the spread since 2007. What was a bit surprising is that home teams were just 50 62 3 (44.6%) against the number, while road teams were a solid 42 29 (59.2%) ATS in that span, since road teams lose an extra preparation day due to travel. Once again, common logic would dictate that the home teams would fare better because of the lack of travel, but reality shows us something entirely different.We can break down the home/away situations a bit more and see that home favorites were 40 44 2 against the number, while home underdogs were a dismal 10 18 1 ATS. Road favorites were 15 14, while road underdogs were a solid 13 5 (72.2%) against the spread the past six years.To see if the trends were holding up, I looked at the past two seasons and all teams were 32 29 2 against the spread, which is essentially break even. Home teams were 21 22 2 against the number, while road teams were a profitable 11 7 (61.1%) versus the spread. The breakdowns also continued, as home favorites were 16 15 1, while home underdogs were 5 7 1. Road favorites were just 3 4, while road underdogs were a strong 8 3 against the number.These trends definitely bear watching in the upcoming season.Post Monday Night and TotalsThe most noticeable developments appeared in the area of totals, however, and this time the Glenn Dorsey Kids Jersey trends followed common sense. In all games involving teams that previously played on Monday night, the overs were 107 75 4, which is a healthy 58.8% and pretty impressive for such a basic concept.The logic behind the games going over also makes sense, as it’s the defense that is hurt the most when preparation time is cut short. Teams do not change their offense much from week to week regardless of who the opponent is. But teams do change up their defense depending on the opponent and will alter their defense for the sole intent of stopping this week’s opponent. Teams may use five defensive backs when playing the Saints or add an extra lineman when playing a running team like the Minnesota Vikings. Defenses also spend a lot of time watching film and studying particular plays an offense likes to run.When the team that played Monday night was at home, the overs were 69 43 3, which is a solid 61.6% and 38 32 1 when on the road, which isn’t as impressive, but is still a money making 54.3%.When the team at home was favored, the overs hit at an even higher rate, going 53 30 3 (63.9%) and Demaryius Thomas Youth Jersey were 16 13 (55.2%) when the team was a home underdog.The same trends occur when the team off of the Monday night game is on the road, as the overs are 17 11 1 (60.7%) when the team is favored and 21 20 http://www.official49ersnflproshop.com/Nike-Glenn-Dorsey-Jersey.html when the team is the underdog.The over trend has been even more pronounced the past two years, going 43 19 1 (69.4%) overall. When the team off the Monday night game was at home, the overs were 30 14 1 (68.2%) and 13 5 (72.2%) when the team was on the road, giving something else to be on the lookout for in the 2013 season.

Revenue Sharing in North American Pro Sports LeaguesThe NFL’s revenue sharing model is Ray McDonald Authentic Jersey universally lauded as the reason pro football continues to thrive in tiny markets like Green Bay, Wisconsin.The bulk of the league’s revenue approximately $4 billion in 2011 comes from broadcast deals with NBC, CBS, Fox, ESPN and Phil Dawson Womens Jersey DirecTV. That income is shared equally among all teams. Income from licensing deals everything from jerseys to posters to team logo beer coolers is also shared evenly.Ticket revenue is split using a slightly different formula: the home team keeps 60 percent of "the gate" for each game, while the www.broncosnflofficialproshop.com/Nike-Demaryius-Thomas-Jersey.html visiting team gets 40 percent.Other sources of revenue things like the sale of luxury boxes, stadium concessions and Phil Dawson Youth Jersey the like are not shared, which does give teams in bigger markets or with state of the art arenas a significant edge in profitability. The new CBA attempts to remedy that in two ways. First, the league will set aside a percentage of revenue in a stadium fund, which will be used to match teams’ investments in their facilities. Second, there will be an additional "luxury tax" levied on high revenue teams, with the receipts set to be distributed to the lower revenue clubs.While this system is very effective for the NFL, there are a number of reasons why Ray McDonald Jersey it might not work for the NBA, where the bulk of each team’s revenue comes from local sources ticket sales, local and regional television contracts and the like.
