ASHBURN, Va. Aldon Smith Authentic Jersey . —Washington
Redskins receiver Pierre Garcon says he has a torn ligament on the bottom of his
right foot and hes hoping to avoid surgery. Garcon described the injury thats
sidelined him for four of Washingtons past six games as a “plantar plate tear”
near his second toe. The plantar plate is a ligament that holds a toe in its
joint. Garcon said Thursday that “surgery is an option” that probably would end
his season, adding: “But we dont really want to think about that at all.” He
visited a foot specialist Wednesday. Garcon only has eight catches for 153 yards
this season, his first with the Redskins after signing a $42.5 million,
five-year contract as a free agent. LaMichael James Jersey .C. —The Panthers

Paterno began talks that resulted in a sweetened retirement contract in the same
month that he testified before a grand jury in the Jerry Sandusky sex-abuse
case, and all members of the board of trustees werent informed of the new
package before the scandal engulfed the university, according to a published
report. Paterno and the university reached agreement on the amended contract
that eventually totalled US$5.5 million in August, months before charges were
filed against Sandusky, but they began negotiating in January, The New York
Times reported Saturday. The amended contract, which was reported on by The
Associated Press in April, included a $3 million career bonus if Paterno retired
at the end of the 2011 season, as well as well as forgiveness of $250,000 in
outstanding indebtedness and an additional $100,000 in loans. The package also
included access to a stadium box for his family for 25 years as well as parking
privileges and access to on-campus hydrotherapy equipment for his wife. The
newspaper cited university records in saying Paterno first broached the idea of
revisiting his contact in January, the same month he made a brief appearance
before the grand jury, and some top university officials had also testified
before the panel before the agreement was reached in August. But the paper,
citing “people with knowledge of the events,” said details of the agreement were
known to a handful of board members but not shared with the full boardd, which
only learned about the lucrative contract when Sandusky was arrested in November
and two university officials were charged. Mike Iupati Womens Jersey. Paterno then
publicly announced he would retire at the end of the season in a statement that
also told school trustees to focus their attention on other matters. “I have
decided to announce my retirement effective at the end of this season. At this
moment the Board of Trustees should not spend a single minute discussing my
status. They have far more important matters to address. I want to make this as
easy for them as I possibly can,” Paterno said at the time. “This is a tragedy.
It is one of the great sorrows of my life. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish
I had done more.” Trustees, who agreed Paterno had not done enough to stop the
abuse, fired him later that same day, a decision that was followed by rioting in
State College. Paterno died of lung cancer in January at age 85. Sandusky is
awaiting sentencing after being convicted of 45 counts of having molesting 10
boys over a 15-year period. Paterno family lawyer Wick Sollers told the Times on
Friday that it was Penn State that proposed the lucrative retirement package,
and that many elements such as the luxury box and use by Paterno of a private
aircraft had existed in previous contracts. Asked Friday if the university
planned to try recover money from the Paterno estate, trustees chairwoman Karen
Peetz said, “Contracts are contracts, and no, theres no plan to do that.” ’ ’ ’
