NEW ORLEANS (AP) Drew Brees said in a radio interview Wednesday night that he is frustrated by what he views as a lack of communication with the New Orleans Saints in his ongoing contract negotiations, adding the club should have shown more urgency to get a long-term deal done.
"It's been extremely frustrating for me. I don't think the negotiations should have been this difficult," Brees said on WWL radio in New Orleans. "What's been a little frustrating on my end, or disappointing, is the lack of communication. We've reached out on quite a few occasions and at times I know I've been frustrated with the lack of response."
While Brees said he wants to return to the team as soon as possible, he raised the possibility of missing minicamp and even training camp if he does not reach a long-term extension that he believes is appropriate. Brees has missed several weeks of voluntary offseason training with the club, and New Orleans holds its first offseason practices, called organized team activities, next week.
LeBron James and Dwyane Wade were not carrying "Help Wanted" signs around the Miami Heat practice floor on Wednesday. The mood was not grim, voices were not hushed and scowls were not prominent.
The way the Heat see it, their series with Indiana begins anew Thursday night. And the Pacers sound like they agree.
Indiana will play host to Miami in Game 3, after grabbing home-court advantage away from the reigning East champs with a 78-75 win Tuesday in perhaps the most offensively baffling night in Heat history - when, for the first time in the franchise's 24 years of existence, only two players scored more than five points in a game.
NEW YORK (AP) The New York Rangers don't like being all even after two games, but they sure are used to it.
For the third straight series, the Eastern Conference's top-seeded team has failed to build on an opening-game win, and now they have yielded home-ice advantage yet again. The Ottawa Senators and Washington Capitals couldn't make the most of it. The New Jersey Devils have other plans.
"We've been in this situation before," Rangers captain Ryan Callahan said after New York's 3-2 loss on Wednesday night. "We just have to go into Jersey and try to get that next game. We can't get down."
WASHINGTON (AP) Brian McNamee, the chief prosecution witness in the Roger Clemens perjury trial, conceded Thursday he initially lied about his involvement with steroids.
In January 2007, McNamee sent an email to Jim Murray, an employee of the agency that represents Clemens, complaining about "gross inaccuracies" in a newspaper story that identified him as a steroids supplier. He also claimed in the email he had been assured by Jeff Novitzky, at the time an Internal Revenue Service agent investigating drug use in sports, that McNamee was not named in a search warrant affidavit referenced in the story.
"It was a lie wasn't it?" Clemens lawyer Rusty Hardin said.
