Nemanja Vidic
MANCHESTER, England – Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic signed a two-year contract extension through to 2012 with the Premier League champions on Thursday.
Vidic, 26, has formed a strong central pairing with Rio Ferdinand since joining in January 2006. United has let in just six goals in 12 Premier League matches this season.
"Nemanja has made a terrific impact at the club and has forged a partnership with Rio Ferdinand that was a major part in us winning the title last year," United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said.
Like a pair of exhausted boxers, hugging close in anticipation of the final bell, neither Jamie Spencer nor Seb Sanders could yesterday slip in the extra jab that might make all the difference. Riding in direct opposition for the first time since Friday, and the last time before Thursday, both drew a blank – leaving Spencer three ahead in the race for the championship, with just five days to go.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jaguars quarterback David Garrard practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday and could return against Tennessee.
Garrard
Garrard ran without pain last week, but the real test was getting through his first practice since suffering a high ankle sprain Oct. 22 against Indianapolis.
“It’s going to be obvious if I can do it,” Garrard said before practice Wednesday. “If I can’t, then it’ll be obvious as well. I don’t want to be hobbling. I don’t feel like I’ll be able to play my game if I’m hobbling around or gimping around. I’ve never played like that.”

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) – When Oklahoma offensive lineman Duke Robinson got the rare opportunity to legally catch a pass, he had only one thing in mind.
“It would have been great to get a first down probably or get 20 or 25 yards or something like that, but I wanted to run somebody over,” said Robinson, a starting guard.

With Eric “The Big Ego” Lindros announcing his retirement, the sticks and stones are being flung around the hockeysphere left and right about the career of the polarizing centerman.
Over at The FanHouse, I muse about how Lindros changed the game. As much of a douche as Lindros is/was, we all know that he and his style of play had a profound impact on the NHL.

For race car model enthusiasts, there is nothing more satisfying than building a race car model from the ground up, and then entering a race and winning! This hobby has been around for sometime, and it continues to grow in popularity. Building RC models is one thing – building race car models that win races are altogether different. If you are a beginner, it is important to realize that while this is a fun hobby, the races are serious, and often there are cash prizes at stake. So, before you buy a cheap kit and enter a race, do your homework and find out all that you need to know.
There are many kits available that include all of the necessary parts to build your model race car. You can also choose to buy all of the parts separately, and design your own race car model – adding parts and components that will give you an advantage over the competition. Beginners are better off starting with a kit. This will allow them to learn what they need to know, without spending quite as much money. Buying each component of a race car model separately can be costly – especially if you don’t purchase the correct parts to begin with.
