Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — Marcus Cannon already is one of the longest-tenured players on the New England Patriots, and now he’s locked up for the longest contract on the team.

He’s seen significant improvement this season through a number of factors.

Barring injury or a precipitous drop-off in production, he easily should surpass Martin’s mark, perhaps as early as next Sunday in San Francisco. How did a running back who’d never scored more than seven touchdowns

Magical thinking: European football superstitions
Pre-match preparationKolo Touré always had to be the last player onto the pitch during his time at Arsenal – a situation which caused him trouble during a 2009 UEFA Champions League match against Roma. With team-mate William Gallas's half-time treatment for an injury delayed, Touré felt unable to re-enter the field until Gallas emerged, and the game resumed without either player. The Ivorian ended up being booked for rejoining the fray without the referee's permission.Czech Republic captain Tomáš Rosický never sang the national anthem aloud, having realised while playing for his country ...

The player who forgot how to celebrate
You're 21. You've just scored your first goal for one of the biggest clubs in the world, in the UEFA Champions League, no less. The supporters are bouncing, your team-mates are bounding over. Then you realise: You don't have a clue what to do next. You are Julian Weigl.Dortmund's match away to Sporting CP was 43 minutes old last week when Weigl's moment of brilliance doubled the visitors' advantage.
