From the San Diego Chargers, National Football League running back LaDainian Tomlinson is now an official member of the New York Jets after the former signed a two-year deal with his new team. The entry of Tomlinson, a reliable running back and certified former star of the Chargers will further boost the roster of the Jets as they hope to get another Superbowl trophy in the next season of the NFL.
A 2006 NFL Most Valuable Player, Tomlinson decided to sign with the Jets since he believe the team has it takes to win the NFL prized plum this year. Tomlinson said as the newest member of the Jets he is willing to play whatever role the team’s coach Rex Ryan will give him. The former star player of the Chargers is also willing to take the supporting role and be the back-up of second-year running back Shonn Greene, who emerged in his rookie season and made Thomas Jones expendable. Jones signed with Kansas City last week after running for a career-high 1,402 yards and 14 touchdowns.
The 31-year-old star running back said in this state of his career he is now willing to accept whatever roles the team will offer him to ensure the Jets gets their aim for a Superbowl trophy in the incoming NFL season.
Before eventually signing with the Jets, Tomlinson had earlier visited the Minnesota Vikings.
The past NFL season had been a forgetable year for him as he experienced 730 yards his first season under 1,000 on 223 carries for an average of 3.3 yards per carry, all career lows. He scored 12 touchdowns, but his role was reduced in an offence that shifted its focus to quarterback Philip Rivers and the passing game.
Despite his bad NFL season, he’s still regarded as an excellent route runner and superb receiver, two qualities that made him attractive to both New York and Minnesota.
Jets star quarterback Mark Sanchez is happy and excited with the signing of Tomlinson since he believe the veteran NFL will help them achieve greatness in the next NFL season. Tomlinson was taken with the fifth overall pick in 2001 out of TCU, and immediately became a star as he helped the Chargers become a perennial playoff contender. The running back’s 138 career touchdowns rushing rank second in NFL history, and his 153 total touchdowns rank third. Do not be left behind on the actions and fun in the next NFL season by watching the exciting professional football games live.

The Olympics curling was started about 1500s in Scotland and was supposedly brought to North America by British multitudes in the 1700s during the world-shattering War. Curling’s Olympic debut was presented at the innovative Olympic Games in 1924. It was originated in 1932 Lake Placid Games as a exhibition sport but then carried on a 56-year Olympic hiatus, until it went back as a exhibition sport at the 1988 and 1992 Games.
Each competition is made up of ends, or periods, where two teams of four players each take turns sliding 42-pound refined granite stones down a sheet of ice towards a bulls-eye made up of four concentric circles. This bulls-eye, which is 12 ft in diameter, is recognized as the “house” and its hub the “tee.” The tee is situated 126 ft from where the handgun starts. When the pebble is released by the handgun, it is done with a particular method that involves a curl of the wrist.
Like a bowling ball clasps down a passage, the stone moves smoothly down the ice. This curvature is recognized as the “curl.” As the boulder curls towards its planned goal (possibly the tee, or perhaps a challenger nugget that happens to be in the method) the other three players flounce the ice with brooms, having stone to speed up or alteration directions.
