NFL Legends.

The list of the best players NFL today era includes such famous names as Joe Montana Montana, Jerry Rice, Lawrence Taylor, Reggie White, another outstanding players and Walter Payton of course. Jim Finks, the former Chicago Bears general manager who drafted Payton, said about this “sweetness” guy: "He is a complete football player. He is better than Jim Brown. He is better than O.J. Simpson."


Mike Ditka, who coached Payton and the Bears to a victory in Super Bowl XX gave him high praise saying that Walter was the best football player he's ever seen and probably one of the best people he’s ever met. "Walter takes pride in the little things, the blocking, the faking. Once against Cincinnati, he picked up a couple of linebackers and liked to have killed them," coach remembers. "He could do it all: run, block and pass. But off the field, he was just as great of a person. He was a real person. There was no phoniness about him."

Walter Payton is really greatest sport’s legend and who have ever seen his play will never forget. He could play any position, he never avoided contact, in response to accusation that he "run over" his opponents trying to hit them as hard as he can, Payton usually said: "My coach at Jackson State, Bob Hill, always said that if you are going to die, you should die hard, never die easily." It seems to be he has to carry the Bears on his shoulders. There are many talented players but real genius we can be counted on the fingers of one hand and Walter Payton is one of them.

Luis Figo.

Luis Figo is the 2nd best player in the world after Ronaldinho.



Luís Figo is married to Swedish model Helen Svedin. The two met at a flamenco show and are now married with three daughters, Daniela (born in March 1999), Martina (born in April 2002), and Stella (born December 9, 2004).

Like several of his Real Madrid colleagues at the time like Steve McManaman and Roberto Carlos, Luís is a devout Catholic, and met the Pope with those team mates in 2002.

Along with his countryman, football manager Carlos Queiróz, Figo was briefly joint seat holder for A1 Team Portugal, in A1 Grand Prix, during the 2005-06 season.

England Football Head Coach.

It became known that last night Fabio Capello had been approved by The Football Association board as England head coach. But Capello is not going to sign his contract until he is satisfied by the terms offered to the four Italian members of his backroom staff, an early indication of the firm approach that he will bring to the job.

There were indications that Capello will find room for an English coach in his support staff - possibly David Platt, who speaks Italian, or Alan Shearer – and that he is likely to find a place in his plans for David Beckham, who may even be made captain for what would be his 100th cap in the new coach’s first match in charge, the friendly match against Switzerland on February 6.

Floyd Mayweather is winner.

Probably the duel between Floyd Mayweather with Ricky Hatton will be one of the richest fights in boxing history. Floyd Mayweather insisted that he is the greatest fighter of all time - even better than Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali - and that Ricky Hatton is a dirty fighter who will not get away with underhand tactics when they meet at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. "I can quit today and I'll be known as the best fighter that ever lived. I respect what Robinson and Ali did for the sport, but I am the greatest, and this is my time," said Mayweather.

So he kept his promise; Mayweather has been as good as his word.

Redknapp, who has been linked with the vacant England manager's job, was questioned at Chichester Police Station. Redknapp said he believed his release from Chichester police station was "the end of it" after being questioned by police.He spoke as he returned to his multi-million pound home at Sandbanks, Poole, Dorset.
He said: "We all helped the police with their enquiries, but it doesn't directly concern me, it's other people involved. I've been answering questions to help the police. I am not directly concerned with their enquiries." The raids were the latest development in attempts by the authorities to root out corruption in the national game, which began after the report by Lord Stevens of Kirkwhelpington this summer into football transfers.
The Quest team led by Stevens, the former Metropolitan Police commissioner, trawled 362 transfer deals made over a 15-month period.

Why?

Oh, how it poetic and exalted sounds! “Baseball is about history, its poets tell us. It is about continuity and about heirloom emotions. It's a golden thread that binds the generations together, one after another, in the face of an increasingly centrifugal and atomized world. So say baseball's poets, and because this is a baseball story, let's begin nearly a century ago”. It was written by CHARLES P. PIERCE several months ago in his article titled “Why Scott Boras is the best (and worst) thing to happen to baseball”. Really, why?

Today CNN reports that Alex Rodriguez has opted out of the final three years of his contract with the Yankees and will become a free agent, likely ending his four-year stay in New York.
Rodriguez's decision was first reported by Sports Illustrated's Web site on Sunday evening. According to the report, agent Scott Boras sent word of the opt-out in writing and left phone and text messages for general manager Brian Cashman on Sunday.
