Adelaide star forward Josh Jenkins reckons there was something his AFL suitors couldnt promise in their lucrative contract offers - comfort.Jenkins on Thursday ended months of speculation about his future, signing a five-year contract extension reported to be worth about $550,000 a year.The 27-year-olds career-best form this season, booting 44 goals and averaging 5.7 marks per game, has helped the Crows surge to second on the ladder.But the Victorian native says his decision to knock back generous offers from interstate clubs wasnt just about on-field success.I just put a high price on being comfortable and happy where we are, Jenkins said.My girlfriend and I sat down and spoke about a lot of things. I said I didnt want to find a new dog-walker and I didnt want to have to get a new hairdresser.I think it says a lot about the fact that Im actually happy in Adelaide itself.Football does consume most of our lives but theres a lot of time when were away from the club as well.Jenkins, whose contract had been due to expire at the end of the year, said he had always intended to stay put despite interest from a number of rivals.He also alluded to the shock death of former coach Phil Walsh last year and the impact it had in bringing teammates closer together.Were all here for success. The reason Ive been more than happy to commit for so long is because I dont think were far away from that, he told the Crows website.With the demographic of the group, what weve been through and how weve become so close, and with the team playing such good football, I think we can sustain that.Coach Don Pyke said Jenkins had developed into a strong leader on and off the field with an exemplary work ethic.We are rapt Josh has decided to stay as his form and progress this season has been fantastic, Pyke said.He provides real flexibility and balance to our line-up, can play minutes in the ruck and is always keen to learn and improve his game.Jenkins, a late bloomer who made his AFL debut aged 23, was drafted by Essendon but traded to Adelaide in 2011 before playing a game.The powerful forward said he was confident his delayed start would allow him to keep playing well into his 30s. http://www.49ersrookiestore.com/49ers-Eli-Harold-Jersey/ . Perhaps Carroll was so prepared for a break because he believes there is very little the Seattle Seahawks need heading into the off-season. "I dont see anything that we need to add. We just have to get better," Carroll said. http://www.49ersrookiestore.com/49ers-Jerry-Rice-Jersey/ . Fellow centre Pavel Datsyuk remains out because of a concussion. Zetterberg has 11 goals and 19 assists for a team-high 30 points, and Datsyuk has a team-high 12 goals and 11 assists. http://www.49ersrookiestore.com/49ers-Kwaun-Williams-Jersey/ . The 29-year-old Baines has established himself as one of the top attacking full backs in the country and was the subject of two bids from United during the last off-season. Everton manager Roberto Martinez says that keeping Baines at the club is a "massive boost and exciting for the future" because he brings "maturity and football knowledge in a very specialized position on the pitch" and an "infectious and positive influence to the rest of the squad. http://www.49ersrookiestore.com/49ers-Ray-Ray-Armstrong-Jersey/ . Clarke was injured while practicing on the Doha Golf Club range after the pro-am on Tuesday. The Northern Irishman arrived at the course on Wednesday hoping to start, but after hitting a few balls on the practice putting green Clarke advised officials he was not fit to play. http://www.49ersrookiestore.com/49ers-Jimmie-Ward-Jersey/ .05 million next season unless Graham and the Saints subsequently agree on a long-term deal. The designation was released Monday after the deadline passed for NFL teams to use franchise or transition tags on players becoming free agents. NEW YORK -- Maybe, just maybe, Novak Djokovic will work up a sweat in the U.S. Opens fourth round.He certainly has not been forced to expend much energy so far.After playing a total of 31 minutes after the first round, the No. 1 seed and defending champion plays for a berth in the quarterfinals Sunday night in Arthur Ashe Stadium against 84th-ranked Kyle Edmund of Britain.Djokovic did not play a point Wednesday, because his second-round opponent, Jiri Vesely, withdrew a couple of hours before the match, citing an arm injury. And then Djokovic only contested six games Friday, until his third-round opponent, Mikhail Youzhny, stopped because of a strained left hamstring, prompting the 12-time major champion to head back out on court with coach Boris Becker for a practice session.So the question was put to Djokovic: Is so little action a good thing, because it provides a chance to rest and heal after some trouble with his left wrist and right arm recently? Or is it a bad thing, because theres a chance of accumulating some rust?Well, depends at how you look at it, he began.This particular situation I never had in my Grand Slam career. But considering the stage of the season, you know, the amount of matches Ive played, what Ive been through with my body, I think its actually good to have some days off and then shorter matches -- from one side, Djokovic said.From the other side, sure, as you are approaching (the) second week of the Grand Slams, he continued, you want to have match play and you want to have time spent on the center court before you face one of the top players.Edmund and Andy Murray gave Britain two men in the round of 16 at the American Grand Slam tournament for the first time in 50 years, back when it was known as the U.S. Championships. Edmund is the first man from the country other than Murray to get this far at any Grand Slam tournament since Tim Heenman was a semifinalist at the 2004 U.ddddddddddddS. Open.Then theres this daunting stat for Edmund, who eliminated 20th-seeded John Isner of the U.S. in the third round: Djokovic has a 72-match Grand Slam winning streak against opponents ranked outside the top 50.Heres what else to watch Sunday at the U.S. Open:KEYS VS. WOZNIACKI: There will be a matchup of vastly contrasting styles when No. 8 Madison Keys takes on two-time runner-up Caroline Wozniacki in the afternoon on Ashe. Keys, a 21-year-old American, has among the most powerful serves and forehands in womens tennis today. Her aggressive approach will go up against the more conservative, defensive game of Wozniacki, a former No. 1 who is now ranked 74th. Wozniacki hadnt won at a match at a major tournament in 2016 until this week.NADAL VS. POUILLE: Rafael Nadal has been playing about as well as can be so far in New York heading into his match against No. 24 Lucas Pouille of France, dropping only 20 games -- his lowest total through three matches at the U.S. Open, which he won in 2010 and 2013. The left wrist injury that sidelined him for 2 1/2 months does not appear to be much of an issue any more for the 14-time major champion. Pouille is coming off his Grand Slam quarterfinal debut at Wimbledon.TSONGA VS. SOCK: Two guys equipped with big serves and big forehands meet when No. 9 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France plays No. 26 Jack Sock, the last U.S. man in the tournament. Tsonga was the runner-up at the 2008 Australian Open, while Sock will be trying to get to his first major quarterfinal -- and trying to be the first American man to make it that far at the U.S. Open since Andy Roddick and John Isner in 2011.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich Cheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Wholesale Discount Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Baseball Jerseys Free Shipping Cheapest College Jerseys Sale Cheap Football Jerseys China Nike NFL Jerseys Canada Wholesale NHL Jerseys From China MLB Jerseys Outlet Canada Wholesale NBA Jerseys Canada Store Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap Authentic Jerseys Canada ' ' '
