  MIAMI --  Cam Newton and Reggie Bush have plenty of parallels. Both have held the Heisman Trophy. Both have celebrated national championships. Both have endured scrutiny, scandal and NCAA investigations.And now both are wishing the Miami Replica Jeremy Maclin Jersey Black Hurricanes well as they face a mess Premier Jeremy Maclin Jersey Green that could tear the program down.Newton and Bush spoke out Friday night about the Miami situation, Premier Jeremy Maclin Jersey Black brought on after convicted Ponzi LeSean McCoy Jersey Authentic scheme architect Nevin Shapiro detailed to Yahoo Sports allegations that he provided 72 players with cars, money, gifts and even prostitutes at times between 2002 and 2010. The NCAA is investigating the Hurricanes and serious sanctions are possible."Obviously a lot of things going on right now are terrible, moreso for the college players," Bush, the Miami running back, said after the Dolphins beat the Panthers and Newton 20-10 in a preseason matchup. "It's tough when you can take a college player's Authentic Jeremy Maclin Jersey White career and dream away from him at the snap of a finger. Something needs to be done."Bush is no longer recognized as a Heisman winner, losing that privilege after it was determined he and his family accepted improper benefits from would-be sports agents while he played for Southern California. That situation also cost the Trojans their 2004 Bowl Championship Series title.Newton's 2010 season at Auburn ended with the school winning its first national title since 1957.The NCAA ruled his Eagles Jeremy Maclin Replica Jersey father, Cecil, had sought money from Mississippi State when Newton was being recruited out of junior college. The quarterback signed with Auburn and was deemed eligible after a one-day suspension when Authentic Jeremy Maclin Jersey Black the NCAA's reinstatement staff found he didn't know about Premier Jeremy Maclin Jersey White the pay-for-play scheme. He Premier LeSean McCoy Jersey was cleared to play in the SEC and national championship games.Asked Friday night what Newton would tell Miami quarterback Jacory Harris -- one of a dozen current Hurricanes implicated by Shapiro -- the No. 1 pick in this year's NFL draft offered his advice."Sky's the limit for him," Newton said. "He has made big plays and hopefully he makes some big plays this year."The current Hurricanes also include safeties Vaughn Telemaque and Ray Ray Armstrong, receivers Travis Benjamin and Aldarius Johnson, defensive linemen Marcus Forston, Olivier Vernon, Marcus Robinson and Adewale Ojomo, tight end Dyron Dye, defensive back JoJo Nicholas and linebacker Sean Spence -- many of whom are expected to play key roles for the team in 2011.Miami joined a growing list of schools with major football programs to be investigated by the NCAA for Replica Jeremy Maclin Jersey White rule-breaking in the past 18 months. Others include Ohio State, Oregon, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia Tech and LSU, and this week, NCAA President Mark Emmert said the Hurricanes' situation may prove that major changes to the system are needed."I don't have the perfect answer or the right answer for it. But something needs to change," Bush said. "I don't know what it is, but hopefully it changes soon, and hopefully it changes for the better."

  ALAMEDA, Calif. --  Oakland coach Hue Jackson got at least one bit of good news in the wake of the Raiders loss to the cross-bay rival San Francisco 49ers.Quarterback Jason Campbell is expected to be back at practice on Monday, two days after leaving the preseason game with a possible concussion.AFC West blogESPN's Bill Williamson writes about all things AFC West in his division blog.Blog network: NFL NationCampbell took a knee to the head on a scramble play late in the second quarter and did not LeSean McCoy Jersey Replica return to the game. He took concussion tests after the 17-3 loss Saturday night and Jackson said he thought his quarterback would return to practice on Monday."It's a huge relief," Jackson said. "Anytime a guy goes out and needs to be checked, you want to make sure that the next day that everything is going to be OK. He's going to be well."The news was not as good for tight end Kevin Boss, who has a sprained left knee after being hit by a helmet and will be evaluated on Eagles LeSean McCoy Jersey a week-to-week basis.There weren't a lot of positives to take from the second exhibition game for the Raiders. The offense failed to score a touchdown and the defense got run over all night and couldn't get off the field.The Raiders were LeSean McCoy Premier Jersey outgained 402-214 in the game and allowed 239 yards rushing. While much of the damage came against reserves, the first-team defense also struggled to stop the Niners as Oakland is having LeSean McCoy Jersey White trouble building the bully that Jackson has talked about ever since getting the head coaching job seven months ago."You don't build a bully overnight," he said. "You don't build a bully in two days or two preseason games. Don't get me wrong, these preseason games are very important and they all matter. But I know come September 12th, they truly matter and I think our team understands that we need to make some strides and we need to get better and we need to keep working. We're a work in progress."While the offense has struggled at times this preseason with just one touchdown in two games, part of that can be attributed to a series of injuries to key players.Star running back Darren McFadden hasn't played yet this preseason because LeSean McCoy Jersey Green of a broken orbital bone in his face, receivers Jacoby Ford, Louis Murphy and Chaz Schilens have all been sidelined and now Campbell and Boss left the most recent game early.Campbell played two-plus series against the Niners, going 5 for 7 for 74 yards with two sacks. He went three-and-out on his first possession, couldn't Replica LeSean McCoy Jersey score after getting first-and-goal from the 2 on the second drive and then got hurt with the Raiders moving on the third possession."There's a lot of stuff that we're not even doing right now," Campbell said after the game. "You got to understand that we have a lot of key guys out right now -- Darren and three of our top receivers. It's not the same guys that are all going to be out there in one unit so there's a lot of things that we do that we're not doing right now in the game."The defense has been healthier with 10 of the 11 starters on Saturday night expected to start when the regular season opens Sept. 12 in Denver.That's what made the porous run defense so LeSean McCoy Jersey Premier glaring. Jackson said he might stage a few live tackling sessions in practice this week to help shore up that unit."When the players see the tape they'll understand exactly what it is that we need to do," he said. "I know it sounds like a broken record but trust me NFL LeSean McCoy Jersey we're going to get this fixed."Finding positives from the game was not easy. Defensive end Matt Shaughnessy had an interception when he dropped into coverage on a pass play in the second quarter, Darrius Heyward-Bey made two nice catches and Derek Hagan caught three balls for 32 yards.The biggest plus once again came from rookie receiver Denarius LeSean McCoy Replica Jersey Moore, who had two catches for 28 yards and returned a kickoff 48 yards. The fifth-round pick from Tennessee has been a star in training camp and that has carried over so far in two exhibition games."He's a bright spot," Jackson said. "He's done some really good things. The guy, when we throw it to him, he catches it. When he returns it, he's a threat. I think he's a LeSean McCoy Jersey Black very solid and good football player. Again, he's got to be consistent Reebok LeSean McCoy Jersey and keep doing it week in and week out. So far, so good."

  Larry Fitzgerald's New DealAdam Schefter on the potential impact of Larry Fitzgerald's new contract on Chris Johnson and other NFL playersTags: Larry Fitzgerald Contract,  Adam Schefter,  SportsCenterLarry Fitzgerald's New Deal  The Arizona Cardinals signed Larry Fitzgerald to an eight-year deal that could pay the star receiver as much as $120 million, making it one of the Aldon Smith Jersey Authentic richest deals in the NFL.The agreement, with guarantees near $50 million, is by far the biggest in the franchise's history and could keep the star receiver with the team through the 2018 Premier Miles Austin Jersey Blue season.Sando: Breaking Down The DealThe Cards broke the bank for Larry Fitzgerald. ESPN's Mike Sando breaks out 11 thoughts on No. 11's new deal. BlogThe six additional years after 2012 would be worth $17 million each. The $15 million average would Custom San Francisco 49ers Jersey tie him with the Raiders' Richard Seymour for the fifth-highest average among all players. The top four players are all quarterbacks. Fitzgerald and team president Michael Bidwill appeared at a hastily called news conference Saturday night to announce the agreement.Fitzgerald insisted he "hates this part of sports," but he certainly Aldon Smith Authentic Jersey has made a boatload of money. This Personalized 49ers Jersey is the third major contract he has signed, and he doesn't turn 28 until Aug. 31."Growing up, since I was 7 years old, this has been the game I love and something I have been so passionate about," Fitzgerald said, "and to have to talk about it on the business side is a little bit uncomfortable. But I am really happy to put it behind us and it wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for the Bidwill family's hard work in making this thing happen."The Cardinals had said they wanted Fitzgerald's new contract wrapped up by the start of the regular season, and they made it with two weeks to spare.Bidwill, son of the team's owner Bill Bidwill, said the Cardinals' intent is to have Fitzgerald retire as a Cardinal "but not anytime soon."Fitzgerald, the third overall park in the 2004 draft at the age of 19, spoke of Replica Miles Austin Jersey Black the opportunity to spend his entire career with one team.Huge Contract for FitzgeraldLarry Fitzgerald's new contract will make him the league's highest paid receiver and put him into a tie as the fifth-highest paid player in terms of average annual value.Highest average annual value,current WR contractsLarry Fitzgerald, ARI$15MSteve Smith, CAR$10.9MBrandon Marshall, MIA$10MCalvin Johnson, DET$9.7MAndre Johnson, HOU$9.2MHighest average annual value,current contractsPeyton Manning, IND$18MTom Brady, NE$18MEli Manning, NYG$16.3MPhilip Rivers, SD$15.3MLarry Fitzgerald, ARI$15MRichard Seymour, OAK$15Mpowered by "It is an honor," he said. "I am so fortunate. Not many players have that opportunity but Michael has allowed me that opportunity and I just want to repay him with great effort and winning. That is what is important."The 6-foot-3, 218-pound receiver has become the franchise's career leader in receptions with 613 and needs just 294 yards to surpass Roy Green for career yards receiving. In Arizona's surprise run to the Super Bowl in the 2008 season, Fitzgerald shattered most of the NFL playoff receiving records.Fitzgerald has topped 1,000 yards receiving in five of his seven NFL seasons, including the last four. He caught 90 passes for 1,137 yards last season even though Arizona had one of the worst offenses in the league while struggling to a 5-11 record, in large part because of poor quarterback play in the wake of the retirement of Kurt Warner.While Fitzgerald said he never insisted the team make a big move for a quarterback -- "I am not anyone to hold a hammer over anyone's head" -- the Cardinals traded for Kevin Kolb from the Philadelphia Eagles, then Customized San Francisco 49ers Jersey signed him to a five-year, $63 million contract, with $21 million guaranteed. Fitzgerald, who organized team workouts during the lockout, had a practice session with Kolb long before the trade.It is not known whether the deal contains the kind of Personalized San Francisco 49ers Jersey terms that gave him huge leverage over the team under its current deal -- specifically a ban on making him a franchise player and a no-trade clause.The contract could have widespread ramifications around the NFL, particularly Replica LeSean McCoy Jersey Black in the case of LeSean McCoy Jersey Women running back Chris Johnson, who is holding out for a new deal with the Tennessee Titans.Johnson tweeted "congratulations to @LarryFitzgerald god is good" and Fitzgerald responded with "thanks CJ you up next my guy."
