ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates -- The struggling Manor Formula One team is on the verge of a takeover after its owner said Friday that terms have been agreed with a new investor.Speaking at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, British businessman Stephen Fitzpatrick said that the team has been in discussions with several investors over the past six months and one is now in pole position.We have agreed terms with an investor at the moment and we are still working through that, said Fitzpatrick, who rescued the team from administration in time for the 2015 season. I cant really talk more about the specifics.Fitzpatrick is now prepared to take a back seat as long as it makes the team stronger.One of the things I was quite clear on, right from the start, was that in the current F1, money equals performance, he said. So anything that was going to bring more funding to the team and help the team develop I was very open to ... (even) if that meant bringing in another investor, and even a majority investor.Manor has scored one point this season, putting it in 11th and last place in the constructors standings heading into Sundays season-ending Abu Dhabi GP.Manor is still aiming for 10th place and is one point behind Sauber, which currently holds that position.The difference between 10th and 11th is several millions in terms of television rights and revenue distribution.Losing out on 10th spot would not affect the impending takeover, however.It doesnt help financially, but the terms of our agreement have been re-finalized, lets say, Fitzpatrick explained. (Its) not a deal breaker.Highly-rated German driver Pascal Wehrlein scored the teams only point this year after finishing 10th at the Austrian GP in July.Esteban Ocon is Manors other driver, but the 20-year-old Frenchman is joining Force India next season.Werhlein, meanwhile, is tipped to replace Brazilian Felipe Nasr at Sauber, a move made potentially more likely with the news that Nasr has lost his banking sponsor Banco do Brasil.Thats correct. The bank informed us as well, Sauber team principal Monisha Kaltenborn said at the same news conference as Fitzpatrick. They have interrupted their 2017 sponsorship program. Our seat is still open, we are including that in our assessment. Ivan Rabb Jersey .

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Big brothers have been known to pick on little brothers from time to time.That is, of course, until that little brother grows to be a few inches taller and 50 pounds heavier.Such is the case for brothers Chris and Kyle Long, who are at different points in their NFL careers entering the season.Kyle, the Bears three-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman, will be counted on at right guard to help protect quarterback Jay Cutler as Chicago looks to move on from a forgettable 2015 season.Meanwhile, on the defensive side his older brother, Chris, is trying to make the most of the one-year deal he signed with the Patriots following an eight-year stint in St. Louis.Chris, 31, has had no problem deferring to his younger sibling as the teams participate in joint practices in advance of Thursday nights preseason matchup.Hitting my brother? Not a lot. Hes like a big tree stump, so luckily Im out there on the edge and we didnt have to deal with each other much, Chris said of the 6-foot-6, 320-pound Kyle.Coach Bill Belichick said it hasnt been too hard to tell them apart.One big one and one not-so big one, Belichick said about the siblings, who are extending the legacy of a family tree first established in the NFL by their Hall of Famer father, Howie Long.The big one is the younger Kyle, the 27-year-old and three-time Pro Bowl right guard in his fourth season as a key part of the Bears offensive line.He has started all but one of Chicagos regular-season games since 2013, and will switch from tackle back to right guard.The hope is that his inside presence will help fortify a line that allowed Cutler to be sacked 29 times last season.Growing up in a rambunctious house that featured Chris and his baby brother, Howie, Jr., was never void of activity.Chris has yet to appear in the playoffs during his eight seasons. So a spot on the Patriots roster is a chance to be a part of a winner.And with the recent injury to starting defensive end Rob Ninkovich, it also could mean a chance to make a significant contribution late in his career.Kyle was drafted out of high school by the Chicago White Sox in 2008, but opted to take a baseball scholarship at Florida State. That was short-lived, though, with a DUI his first semester leading him first to a junior college in 2010 and finally to Oregon in 2012 to resume his football career.One of his biggest supporters along the way has been Chris.I just enjoy kind of watching him grow into being a man in this league, Chris Long said. I know the work that it takes and I just think, more than anything, just seeing the way hes plugged away, he grows up every year.ddddddddddddHaving a player of Kyles caliber on the field this week has also been helpful for a New England offensive line also trying to rebuild after Tom Brady was sacked 38 times in 2015.Chris has been slowed some the past two years by knee and ankle issues. But Kyle said hes expecting big things out of him this season.He looks strong, he feels strong and hes a competitor, Kyle Long said.As for Thursday night, Kyle said there will be a few more family members in the stands than usual. They include their mom, Chris wife and Kyles nephew, Waylon, who was born in March.He was definitely neutral, Kyle said. He had a blue hat on, which was also neutral. So he knows how to play the game already.Game notes Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski was absent from the practice field Tuesday, a day after he pulled up short while running a passing route and left the workout early with a trainer. ...

But Fox insisted this week that there was no ill will, or anything like that toward Bennett following his departure. ...
