NFL scraps plan for 2nd game in Britain in 2010
The NFL has scrapped plans to play a second regular-season
game in Britain next season. Last week, the league announced
that the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos would play
at Wembley Stadium on Oct. 31. That will mark the fourth
straight season in which the NFL has played a regular-season
game in the British capital. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell
said last year that the league was considering adding a
second game. But the NFL said on its Web site that
uncertainty related to collective bargaining talks and
the current economic climate "were critical factors in our
decision not to play a second game in the UK." "Playing
one game in the UK is a significant investment. Playing a
second game in the UK is an even bigger investment," the NFL
said. "Our ambition to bring a second game to the UK is as
strong as ever. Once the current uncertainty is resolved,
we will be in a strong position to bring multiple games to
our UK fan base." The NFL has played games at Wembley for
the last three seasons, with more than 80,000 fans at each
game. The first game featured the eventual Super Bowl
champion New York Giants beating the Miami Dolphins 13-10.
In 2008, the New Orleans Saints beat the San Diego Chargers
37-32. And this season, the New England Patriots defeated
the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 35-7 in October. Aside from Wembley
Stadium, Manchester and Glasgow, Scotland, are being looked
at as potential venues to host NFL games in the future.
In October, before the New England-Tampa Bay game, Goodell
said the idea of eventually putting an expansion team in
London was of "tremendous interest" to the NFL. He gave no
timeline when such a decision might be taken.

Bush's mixed performance just enough for Saints
Reggie Bush's playoff encore didn't have to be dazzling for
New Orleans to get to its first Super Bowl. Bush couldn't
quite match his game-breaking performance from the Saints'
45-14 victory over Arizona a week earlier - his punt returning
hurt more than it helped because of a muffed punt. But he
scored a key touchdown and had a big catch to sustain another
scoring drive in New Orleans' 31-28 win Sunday night.
"You know what? It's a team game and that's one of the things
that I'm learning slowly but surely," Bush said. "I can't just
try to put the team on my back and win the game. It's not like
the college days or the high school days. Not every game am I
going to be the star." Bush scored a go-ahead touchdown early
in the fourth quarter on a third-and-goal play from the 5,
catching a short pass along the sideline, then twisting and
muscling his way to the pylon to give the Saints a 28-21 lead.
"We opportunities come you make the most of it," Bush said. "I
had a chance to bounce back, had a touchdown that was huge for
us. It was the last touchdown we scored and it's a tremendous
feeling just to be a part of this." Bush had two catches for
33 yards and seven rushes for only 8 yards and no punt return
yards. Still, the Saints might not have pulled out the biggest
triumph in club history if not for Bush's score. Had he been
short of the goal line, the Saints would have been faced with
fourth-and-goal. Instead, New Orleans never trailed again and
now Bush will get another chance to showcase his game-break,
big-play ability on the NFL's biggest stage in Miami in a
couple weeks. Bush's desire to recreate his magic of a week
earlier was never more apparent than on his muffed punt that
could have cost the Saints dearly. Bush said he should have
fair caught it on the 10. Instead, he tried to catch the punt
and make a move on Eric Frampton. Frampton hit him straight
on and jarred the ball loose. Kenny Onatolu recovered, putting
Minnesota in prime position to take a lead into halftime.
Bush said that when Chris Kluwe first hit that punt, it did not
appear that the Vikings' coverage team got off the line of
scrimmage well. "By the time I caught it I looked and he was
right there in my face," Bush said. "It's a game of inches....
I was thinking, obviously it wasn't meant to be, just try to
bounce back. Do whatever you can, just don't overdo it."
Brett Favre's fumble on a botched exchange meant for Adrian
Peterson, which linebacker Scott Fujita recovered, spared
the Saints any damage from Bush's gaffe. After returning a
punt 83 yards for a score against Arizona, Bush's only
attempted punt return was the one he muffed. "Obviously the
turnover is a bad mark on the day, but you look at his whole
body of work and that touchdown he made, just what he brought
to this team - he's one of those dynamic players that a
defense really has to account for," Saints right tackle
Jon Stinchcomb said. Saints coach Sean Payton did not call
Bush's number much early on. Bush looked anxious, and Payton
motioned at him to settle down during the first half.
"It's part of football. You're going to have differences of
opinions with your coaches. It's an emotional game. He wants
to win. I want to win," Bush said. Bush only touched the ball
twice on the Saints' first four possessions, but the second
time he got the ball came on a 28-yard reception over the
middle on third-and-long, sustaining a 64-yard scoring drive
capped by Devery Henderson's 9-yard TD pass, which tied the
score at 14 in the second quarter. "This was special, but it
will be even more special if we win the Super Bowl," Bush
said, adding that he's taken a valuable lesson out of his
varying performances the past two weeks. "Just let it come
to you. When it's your time, it's your time. Don't try to
overdo it," Bush said, reflecting back on his muffed punt.
"You can bet 100 percent that it won't happen again in the
Super Bowl."

Saints' Vilma will donate T-shirt profits toward a Haitian
relief fund
New Orleans Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma has created a
T-shirt to celebrate his team's success and raise money for
earthquake victims in Haiti, where his parents are from and
he still has relatives. The black shirt bears the phrase
"Department of Domeland Defense" over a design of crossed
axes and a metallic-looking, sharp-pointed gold fleur-de-lis
holding a pair of skulls. he design is "killer. Better than
anything I've been a part of," said Todd Robinson of Bonza
Graphics, which is printing the shirt. Vilma said his aunts
and uncles in Haiti are fine, but he still wants to help the
stricken island nation. He says he can't put his full
attention to the crisis because of preparations for
Sunday's NFC Championship Game against Minnesota. "I don't
want to just hand money over to anybody," he said. "I want
to make sure it goes to where the help really needs to be,
so after this game I'm really going to take some time to
understand where I can help and do whatever I can." In the
meantime, he said, some of the money raised from T-shirt
sales will go toward a Haitian relief fund. "We're proud to
be part of what I think will be a really good thing for
Haiti," Robinson said.
