Brady Quinn fell in the NFL draft. Now he’s falling out of favor with the Cleveland Browns.

The rookie quarterback’s contract holdout dragged into its second week on Friday as Quinn missed his eighth day of training camp with no end in sight. For now, he’s in Arizona working out while negotiations continue.

Meanwhile, Browns general manager Phil Savage expressed disappointment at not being able to finalize a deal with agent Tom Condon. Savage said he “talked briefly” with Quinn’s representatives on Friday but didn’t seem optimistic about a contract being completed anytime soon.

Rookie wide receiver Calvin Johnson signed a six-year deal with the Detroit Lions on Friday, ending the No. 2 overall pick’s eight-day holdout.

Johnson’s contract is worth $64 million, with $27.2 million fully guaranteed, ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reports.

Johnson and the team agreed to terms and signed the contract early Friday, said Lions executive vice president Tom Lewand. He signed the deal just in time for an 8:30 a.m. practice, where he was out catching passes. Moments after signing his contract, the rookie wide receiver found himself on the first team during a two-minute drill.

“I wasn’t surprised. I was expecting to be out there with the first team,” Johnson said. “That’s why they picked me at No. 2.

I am quite saddened by the fact that my favorite sports are being shaken by scandals. 

Though I am not a Michael Vick fan, his indictment is always on the news. In my opinion it is cruelty for the Americans for a person to be indulged in dog fighting. It is not only dog fighting but those dogs are being killed also.

It was disclosed last Friday about the  allegations on Tim Donaghy, former NBA ref,  of putting his bet on the games, and games that he officiated. David Stern,  NBA’s commissioner spoke this morning that the case is isolated. I don’t believe on that. The FBI should investigate also on the 2006 NBA Finals.

Right after watching David Stern’s press conference, then blood transfusion scandal of Alexander Vinoukourov in the Tour de France. As I pointed out in my previous posts that he was the favorite to win. He won the stage 13th individual time trial convincingly. He was tested positive. His whole team,  Astana,  now abandons the  race.

I will still be watching these games especially the Tour de France which will end this weekend.
