ASHBURN, Va. Brandon Marshall Blue Jersey . -- Late in the third quarter of Robert Griffin IIIs NFL debut, Washington Redskins long snapper Nick Sundberg grabbed the rookie quarterback on the sideline and made a request. "I know were rolling right now, but keep it up," Sundberg said he told Griffin. "Because I dont want to go out there for another punt." This wasnt a teammate simply urging the offence to score more points. Sundberg was in pain. Itll go down as the other remarkable performance in RG3s stellar first game. Sundberg broke his left arm in the first half and continued to play -- snapping the ball four times for punts, twice for field goals and twice for extra points in the second half of Washingtons 40-32 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. "Weve got a story to tell to our kids and our grandkids, how we played with a guy who played a whole game with a broken arm," defensive tackle Barry Cofield said Monday. "Im going to remember both. RG3s going to come first, obviously, because thats what theyre going to ask me about, but when my grandson scrapes his knee, Ill tell him about the guy who played with a broken arm." Sundberg has been fitted with a cast thats bulky and restrictive, so he wont be able to play again for at least a few weeks. The Redskins will audition replacements Tuesday and will have to decide whether to keep the third-year veteran on the active roster or put him on injured reserve. Sundberg was hurt when his arm was squeezed between a helmet and a facemask during the punt that was blocked by the Saints and returned for a touchdown. He knew immediately what had happened because he broke the same bone in high school. The doctors on the sideline kept urging him to get an X-ray, but Sundberg instead kept asking for something to ease the pain so he could keep playing. "I think at the end of the day youve got to look at yourself and see what youre made of," Sundberg said. "It was terrible, but I felt like I really didnt have another option." Sundberg said he got hit on the broken arm a few more times during the game. Yes, it hurt. "Its one of those things youve kind of got to keep telling yourself it doesnt hurt, it doesnt hurt, it doesnt hurt," he said. "At some point, you convince yourself: Theres only a few more minutes left, only a couple more snaps, I can get through it, I can get through it." Then came that conversation with Griffin in the third quarter, which naturally caught the rookie off guard. "He was like, What do you mean?" Sundberg said. "Dude, my arm hurts so bad, and it hurts so much worse to throw punt snaps. I was like, Dont make us punt again. Then we kind of laughed about it, and I was like: Im serious. Hes like, Oh. No pressure rookie, but I dont want to punt again." - Lance Louis Jersey .

LONDON -- With Liverpool off to its worst start to a season in 50 years, owner John Henry wrote an open letter to fans Monday acknowledging having made mistakes during his first two years running the club. But Henry defended the Fenway Sports Groups cautious approach to the summer transfer window, despite a 2-0 loss to Arsenal on Sunday leaving Liverpool with just one point after three matches of the Premier League season. Striker Andy Carroll was sent on loan to West Ham less than two years after being bought for a British record 35 million pounds (then $56 million), and new manager Brendan Rodgers is frustrated about the failure to replace him with American forward Clint Dempsey, who instead left Fulham for Tottenham on Friday. "I am as disappointed as anyone connected with Liverpool Football Club that we were unable to add further to our strike force in this summer transfer window, but that was not through any lack of desire or effort on the part of all of those involved," Henry wrote to fans in a letter posted on the club website. "They pushed hard in the final days of the transfer window on a number of forward targets and it is unfortunate that on this occasion we were unable to conclude acceptable deals to bring those targets in." Henry rescued Liverpool from the brink of financial collapse in October 2010 when heavily indebted owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett Jr. were forced to sell the club, which won the last of its 18 English titles in 1990 and finished eeighth in the league last season. Brian Urlacher Blue Jersey. "We are still in the process of reversing the errors of previous regimes. It will not happen overnight," Henry said. "It has been compounded by our own mistakes in a difficult first two years of ownership. It has been a harsh education, but make no mistake, the club is healthier today than when we took over ... we will never place this club in the precarious position that we found it in when we took over at Anfield. "This club should never again run up debts that threaten its existence." Henry, however, insisted the prudent transfer strategy "was not about cutting costs," but about ensuring the club complies with UEFAs new Financial Fair Play regulations designed to stop clubs overspending. "The transfer window may not have been perfect but we are not just looking at the next 16 weeks until we can buy again: we are looking at the next 16 years and beyond," Henry said. "These are the first steps in restoring one of the worlds great clubs to its proper status." Quick fixes are not the solution, Henry said, adding that he prefers to develop young talent rather than buy expensive players. "We will not mortgage the future with risky spending," said Henry, whose group also owns baseballs Boston Red Sox. "We will build and grow from within, buy prudently and cleverly and never again waste resources on inflated transfer fees and unrealistic wages," he added. ' ' ' |
