Vikings LB E.J. Henderson suffers broken leg

Minnesota linebacker E.J. Henderson broke his leg against
the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday in a brutal injury that will
apparently sideline him for the season while dealing a serious
blow to the Vikings' defensive unit. Henderson fractured his
femur while trying to tackle Tim Hightower late in the fourth
quarter - his leg twisting violently as he went down. He was
taken off the field on a motorized cart after doctors spent
several minutes attending to the star linebacker. His brother
and teammate, Erin, held Henderson's hand as they were driven
to the locker room. Coach Brad Childress said Henderson will
spend the night in Phoenix and undergo surgery. Henderson has
been a key part of Minnesota's defensive success this season,
and it was the second straight year that his season was cut
short with injury. The mood in the locker room around the
Henderson injury was somber as many players just shook their
heads in disgust at the horrific injury. "I feel bad for E.J.,"
Vikings quarterback Brett Favre said. "That's awful for him
and for our team."


Favre breaks record with 283rd consecutive game

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre set an NFL record
by playing in his 283rd consecutive game Sunday night. With
his first snap against Arizona, the 40-year-old Favre broke
the record of 282 held by longtime Vikings defensive end Jim
Marshall. Favre has not missed a game since the 1992 season.

Reid won't comment on possible contract extension

Andy Reid says he loves coaching the Philadelphia Eagles but
won't discuss reports that he's close to completing a long-term
contract extension. Team officials also declined comment on
reports that an announcement could come early this week. But
they have said all along they're eager to lock up an extension
for Reid, who's in his 11th season with the Eagles. Reid says
he can "think of no better organization" than the Eagles. He
has a career record of 105-66-1 after Sunday's 34-7 win over
the Atlanta Falcons.



L.T. passes Faulk in career yards, Jim Brown next

San Diego running back LaDainian Tomlinson passed Marshall
Faulk for ninth place on the NFL's career rushing list in the
third quarter of Sunday's game against the Browns. Tomlinson
took an inside handoff and ran for 3 yards, giving him 12,282
yards, three more than Faulk (12,279). Tomlinson entered the
game needing 56 yards to pass Browns Hall of Fame running back
Jim Brown (12,312) for eighth place on the list. Also,
Tomlinson's next touchdown will be the 150th of his career.
He's trying to reach the milestone faster than any player in
league history. Tomlinson was playing in his 137th career game.
Emmitt Smith scored his 150th TD in his 160th game.

NFL to cut smaller revenue sharing

The NFL has told the players' union it will cut a $100 million
annual supplemental revenue-sharing program that subsidizes
lower-revenue teams. That plan, which is a small portion of
the $6.5 billion shared in full by all 32 teams, will be cut
because the 2010 season will not have a salary cap. "We are
simply going forward on the terms the union approved in March
of 2006," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said. Those terms pertain
to only years with salary caps, the league says. The NFL
Players Association will challenge the league's move this
week, a person familiar with the union's plans told The
Associated Press on Sunday. The person spoke anonymously
because the NFLPA has not officially announced its intentions.
ESPN originally reported the story. Union officials believe
the owners can't terminate the program without the union's
approval. The NFLPA also is concerned that some teams will
not spend competitively because there is no minimum for
spending under a non-salary cap system. "The union is just
trying to make noise to get some attention," Aiello said.
"The CBA has special rules to protect competitive balance
in the uncapped year. There will still be billions in equally
shared revenue in 2010." But the NFLPA worries about any
cuts in any revenue-sharing. "Revenue sharing helps maintain
the 'any given Sunday' dynamic in the NFL," NFLPA assistant
executive director George Atallah told the AP in an e-mail.
"The amount of money some owners propose to pull out of the
system in 2011 could mean the difference between playoffs
and blackouts for many teams." The program the league plans
to terminate involves the top 15 revenue teams placing funds
into a pool from which many of the lower income clubs can
draw. It does not include television monies or box office
revenues. Nine franchises qualified to receive funds this
year, although the league has not identified them.
NFL owners have opted out of the collective bargaining
agreement, which will end after next season unless a new
contract is reached.
