Wow, why would Kraft want to be seen together with two gangsters like Putin and Rupert Murdoch? Then he gushes with praise on Putin. Way to make an ass of yourself Mr. Kraft...

“At that point, I decided to give him the ring as a symbol of the respect and admiration that I have for the Russian people and the leadership of President Putin."

Cruz was a restricted free agent. It would have cost other teams a first round pick to sign him and nobody was willing to give that up, so his only move was to sign the restricted free agency tender. Cruz and the Giants can continue to negotiate a long-term deal, but if Cruz didn't sign the tender by Monday the Giants had the option of dropping the amount of his tender to $630,000, and although there was no indication the Giants had planned on dropping the tender Cruz apparently wasn't willing to risk it. With Cruz and Hakeem Nicks both becoming unrestricted free agents after the season it's going to be tough for the Giants to be able to sign both to long-term deals.

yeah and if Cruz puts up his same numbers again he'll be golden after this... Devastating Injury I'd rather have some of that 2.3 contract then 630k.

Aaron Hernandez's home searched

Investigators searched New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez's North Attleboro, Mass., home Tuesday in connection with the death of a man who police said was an associate of Hernandez, ABC News reported.

ABC News reports that Massachusetts investigators plan to interview Hernandez about the death.

During the search that lasted hours, two friends of Hernandez who were in the house tried to leave but were stopped by state police at the end of the driveway. Crime scene investigators later searched the car the men attempted to leave in, according to the report.

On Tuesday night, some police officers stood on the front steps of Hernandez's home and others could be seen inside. Some walked around the driveway and in the garage with flashlights. Before wrapping up their work for the night, one officer took a box out of the massive house.

Hernandez has not been named as a suspect, but a rental vehicle with Rhode Island plates was found near the scene, which led investigators to Hernandez, SI.com reported.

Hernandez was initially uncooperative with police after the body of a 27-year-old man was found in an industrial park not far from the Patriots player's home, two law enforcement sources told ABC.

Hernandez is represented by the Athletes First agency, which said it has no comment "on the Aaron Hernandez situation." The player's mother said by telephone from Connecticut on Tuesday she had no knowledge of a case involving him.

"I am aware of the reports, but I do not anticipate that we will be commenting publicly during an ongoing police investigation," Patriots spokesman Stacey James said.
