NFL news: League, union discuss lengthening regular season; Redskins want $21 Million from Haynesworth<\/strong><\/p>\n Meeting for their first negotiations since February, the NFL and the players\u2019 union didn\u2019t just discuss the collective bargaining agreement, which expires in March 2011. They also discussed lengthening the regular season. The proposed idea wouldn\u2019t make the season any longer in terms of number of days or weeks, as it would involve simply turning two exhibition games into regular-season games. So the ratio would be two-to-18 instead of four-to-16.<\/p>\n After Albert Haynesworth failed to report for a mandatory two-day minicamp, the Washington Redskins are trying to recoup the $21-million bonus they gave him.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t blame them but you have to think their working relationship will be damaged beyond repair if they take that much money away from their star defensive tackle.<\/p>\n Quick Brett Favre update: No. 4 is healing well from his ankle surgery and will decide after a few more weeks of rehab if he\u2019ll play in the 2010 season.<\/p>\n Quick Chris Johnson update: the 2,000-yard rusher has stated he wants to be the NFL\u2019s highest-paid offensive player. He also Tweeted about Darrelle Revis, saying \u201cat least dey offering him something dey not offering me nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking of Revis, Johnson is right; the Jets are back at the table with Revis and trying to clear the air after he sat out some practices earlier this offseason.<\/p>\n NBA news: Big Baby guarantees victory in Game 7<\/strong><\/p>\n Glen \u201cBig Baby\u201d Davis is about to become a legend \u2013 but for the right reason or the wrong one? He guaranteed victory for tonight\u2019s Game 7, saying \u201cYou guys are going to remember Thursday forever\u201d and that \u201cI can\u2019t wait to step up on the floor and win here in L.A.\u201d <\/strong><\/span> To Davis\u2019 credit \u2013 the \u201cguarantee a victory\u201d concept is an overblown one in sports. What else could he say \u2013 \u201cUm, well, I\u2019m not sure if we\u2019ll win\u201d?<\/p>\n Then again, that strategy worked for Kobe after Game 5.<\/p>\n World Cup soccer news: Man killed by family for watching soccer<\/strong><\/p>\n For anyone who tries to argue that a sport like the American football generates the same passion and insanity as soccer around the world, read on.<\/p>\n A 61-year-old South African man, David Makoeya, grabbed the TV remote in his home, eager to watch Germany play Australia in Sunday\u2019s World Cup action. But his family members wanted to watch a religious program.<\/p>\n They argued and, in the end, his own immediate family \u2013 his wife and two children \u2013 beat him to death.<\/p>\n General news: Did ESPN create a culture of sexual harassment?<\/strong><\/p>\n Brooke Hundley, the woman implicated in the Steve Phillips harassment scandal, is now suing the baseball analyst\u2019s former network ESPN.<\/p>\n Hundley claims that she confided in female supervisors at ESPN when the harassment began but that they responded by sharing stories of their own harassment. An incensed Hundley explained that \u201cIt was almost as if, \u2018You have been officially initiated.<\/p>\n We all have a story to tell.
