In the seventh inning of Saturday night's Yankees-Braves game at Turner Field, a man fell from the upper deck as Alex Rodriguez was being introduced as a pinch-hitter. He later died after being treated at the scene and transported to a local hospital.
A fan, Greg Shiver of Tennessee, who was attending the game with his son, said, “We were sitting in Row 6 and I just told him to watch for A-Rod. And then we heard a big thud. I saw a guy falling from the top. I grabbed my son and ran for security. He was bleeding pretty badly. I don't think he's gonna make it. And I don't have any clue how he fell.”

NFL: Sisx Things You Need To Know About Rusell Wilson's $87.6 million Deal
The long summer saga that is Russell Wilson's contract situation is over. CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora confirms Wilson and the Seahawks agreed to a four-year extension worth $87.6 million. The news was first reported by Peter King of TheMMQB.com and also confirmed by Wilson himself.

NFL: Seahawks Offered Rusell Wilson $21 million A Year
Russell Wilson, who is in the final year of his rookie deal, is set to make $1.54 million in 2015. Ideally, the quarterback would make a lot more than that. The issue, however, is that he and the Seahawks aren't (yet) on the same page when it comes to his value. We've heard everything from Wilson wants to be the NFL's highest paid quarterback and he wants to be in Seattle for a "really, really long time," to he "would definitely consider" playing both football and baseball in the future.
As it stands, the NFL's top-earning quarterbacks, on average, are Aaron Rodgers ($22.0 million), Ben Roethlisberger ($21.85 million), Cam Newton ($20.76 million), Matt Ryan ($20.75 million) and Joe Flacco ($20.1 million).

NFL: Connected Influential Owners Don`t Want Tom Brady`s Suspension Reduced
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell might be stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to Tom Brady. If Goodell doesn't reduce Brady's four-game Deflategate suspension, the quarterback's legal team and the NFLPA will likely take the NFL to court to get the suspension trimmed down to zero games.
On the other hand, if Goodell does reduce the four-game suspension, he could be in hot water with several NFL owners who don't want to see Brady's suspension reduced. That's right, several owners want Brady's suspension to stick.
According to ProFootballTalk, a "small handful of influential owners" want to see Brady's suspension stay at four games.

NFL: Greg Hardy's Suspension Reduced From Ten To Four Games
Now Hardy is set to return on Oct. 11 when the Cowboys face the Patriots. (Good one, NFL. Have Hardy make his debut against the team that has their own appeal pending with Tom Brady and the Deflategate melodrama.)
There's more good news for Hardy: As CBSSports.com's John Breech noted in March, a large portion of Hardy's contract is going to be paid out in "per-game" roster bonuses. For every regular-season game Hardy's on the Cowboys active roster this year, he'll make $578,125.

Tottenham To Hold Two NFL Games Per Year At New Stadium
There will be more NFL games in London after Tottenham announced a deal to host two a year at their new stadium. Tottenham have agreed a partnership with the NFL to host two games annually at their new stadium for 10 years.
The NFL has staged regular season games at Wembley Stadium since 2007 and held three games at the ground last season. There is optimism that the NFL will extend its agreement with Wembley beyond 2016, but the league has taken another step to further its international profile with the announcement of the deal with Tottenham on Wednesday.

NFL: Russel Wilson Claims God Spoke To Him In Seahawks Miraculous Come Back
By now you should know him.We featured his story earlier today when he said he won't be having sex with his popular musician girlfriend Ciara laying claim to that on the basis of God. He has also said the recent victory in which his team was involved was as a result of God speaking to him..
Almost immediately after the Seahawks miraculously came back against the Packers in the NFC Championship Game to advance to this past season's Super Bowl, Russell Wilson credited God for "setting it up" and for making the moment "so rewarding, so special."
Now, Wilson is also crediting God for his heartbreaking interception on the one-yard line that sealed the Super Bowl win for the Patriots and ended the Seahawks' bid for back-to-back championships. While speaking at The Rock Church in San Diego, Wilson claimed that God spoke to him just moments after he tossed the interception and explained why the interception took place.

So what do you get for the team that has everything, including four Super Bowl titles?

NFL: I Would Take $5M Less To Keep Murray Says Romo
Eagles running back DeMarco Murray was really hoping to remain with the Cowboys this offseason. So much so, he asked quarterback Tony Romo to take a pay cut to remain with the team, Romo said on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas on Tuesday, per the Dallas Morning News.
"DeMarco ended up asking me, 'Why don't you take a pay cut?' I said, 'I will. I would take a pay cut to go do this,'" Romo said. "I was like, 'They're going to restructure me.' That's the same thing in some ways, just for the salary cap purposes. He was like, 'OK, now we're back to being friends again.' I would take $5 million less if it meant getting him back.

NFL Set To Investigate Patriots For Deflating Balls
NFL spokesman Michael Signora told NFL Network the league is looking into the Patriots' apparent use of overly deflated footballs during Sunday's 45-7 AFC title game win over the Colts.
Midway through the game, a ball was taken off the field and out of circulation, Signora told Rapoport. NFL rules stipulate game balls must be inflated with between 12.5-13.5 pounds of air. Each team must provide 12 primary balls for testing prior to the game, NFL Network reports.

NFL: Adrian Peterson Suspended Without Pay For The Rest Of The Season
The NFL announced Tuesday morning that Adrian Peterson would be suspended without pay for the remainder of the 2014 season. The NFLPA announced plans to appeal the suspension and Peterson could seek other remedies. The union also added a surprising point, noting "an NFL executive told Adrian that his time on the commissioner's list would be considered as time served."
When Peterson was notified of his suspension, Roger Goodell issued a letter to the Vikings running back informing him how he'll be able to return to the league.

NFL: Newsome Testifies Ray Rice Told Goodell That He'd Hit Fiancee
Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome has supported Ray Rice's story all along. Even after commissioner Roger Goodell said Rice's account following a physical altercation with his then-fiancee in an Atlantic City hotel elevator hadn't been consistent, Newsome said that Rice had told the truth to Newsome.
Newsome reportedly didn't change his story Thursday, because, according to ESPN's Don Van Natta, Newsome testified under oath that he heard Rice tell Goodell on June 16 that he had hit Janay Rice in that elevator.

Am Not Happy With Wembley Condition - Roy Hodgson
England manager Roy Hodgson said he is unhappy with the surface at Wembley, which will host an NFL game prior to a Euro 2016 qualifier. Hodgson's men, who top Group E in qualifying with maximum points from three games, host Slovenia on November 15, less than a week after the Dallas Cowboys and Jacksonville Jaguars do battle in London on Sunday.
The 67-year-old said he felt the surface was already below standard acceptable for international football, and said he was seeking a solution - despite Wembley officials announcing another three NFL matches will be played at the venue in 2015.
