FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Brandon Marshall is warning game officials now: Watch out for Byron Maxwells hands.The New York Jets wide receiver had some strong words about Maxwell, the Miami Dolphins cornerback who took on Marshall last season while he was a member of the Philadelphia Eagles.He just held every single play, Marshall said Wednesday. Every single play, he held. That was tough. They traded for him to stop me, so Im excited about this matchup.Maxwell played his first four seasons in Seattle and signed with Philadelphia last offseason.In the Jets 24-17 loss to the Eagles in Week 3 last season, Marshall had 10 catches for 109 yards and a touchdown -- despite, he says, Maxwell being a bit too touchy-feely throughout the game.I dont know him, but I dont like him, Marshall said. Im being honest with you. Ive never had a conversation with this guy. I think hes probably a really nice guy. He seems like a really nice guy. He doesnt say much when hes on the field. But because he holds every single play, I dont like him.Last March, the Eagles traded Maxwell, linebacker Kiko Alonso and a first-round draft pick to Miami for the Dolphins first-round draft pick.Great trade for the Eagles, a smiling Marshall said.The Jets receiver added that someone told him that the Dolphins acquired Maxwell specifically to defend against Marshall in the teams two matchups during the season. Whether thats, in fact, true is uncertain.But Marshall also noted that the Dolphins havent been playing a lot of 1-on-1, man coverage in the secondary, so the two might not square off every play. But if they do, Marshall knows what to expect, judging from the film he has watched.Still the same guy, still the same player, Marshall said. Holds every single play.When asked if he might go to the officials before the game to make sure they know to look out for Maxwell, Marshall laughed and said he was already doing that.Im talking to the officials now, he said with a big smile. What do you think Im doing? Hes gonna hold me. Duh. This isnt about Maxwell, its to the officials: Maxwells going to hold every single play.Theyll read the papers. This is New York. You guys do a great job of getting it out there.Despite being frustrated in their previous matchup, Marshall insisted he wont let that get into his head on Sunday in Miami.Im just going to bring it to him this game, he said. So, Ill hold him and Ill push him around if thats the kind of game its going to be.For Marshall, the game also marks a return to the city where he spends most of his offseasons -- and where he played for two mostly productive but tense years.It actually does mean a lot, Marshall said. I learned a lot there, especially on the football side. Thats the first time I realized that touchdowns matter. The media there killed me, and it was tough. No, seriously. It was always, `Oh, theyre paying him all of this money and he only has three touchdowns. That was the first time I paid attention to touchdowns.In two seasons with the Dolphins from 2010-11, Marshall had 167 catches for 2,228 yards and nine TDs.Marshall recalled that he learned to block out the media, or at least try, because of the stress it caused him.The good thing about that was that it made me realize that you need to produce in the red zone, he said. Before, when I got down there, I wasnt a complete receiver. I didnt know how to get deep and understand how important the red zone was and I started paying a lot more attention to it.Marshall was then jokingly asked if he actually owes the media for helping him become the receiver he is today.Well, I think a lot of it was unfair, when we talk about me as a player there, he said. I was one of the first receivers in a long time (there) to have over 1,000 yards. I didnt have 100 catches, but I had 80-something catches. Given the circumstances, I felt I played really well, but they killed me.They begged for me to come down there, and I got down there and then they said I was the worst thing ever. That usually happens in a losing environment.Marshall added that hes really disappointed how his time in Miami ended, which came via a trade to Chicago in March 2012.So, Im excited to go down there and put up 200 (yards), Marshall said before laughing. Nah, I cant put up 200 yards because they dont give up big plays. If it was 1-on-1 coverage, then that would be different, so its not going to be that type of game for me.I will say that Im excited to play against Maxwell. I owe him one.---AP NFL website: http://pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFLJeff Kemp Jersey . Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.

J. D. Smith Jersey . LOUIS -- The New Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the string. Antowain Smith Jersey . "Four now," Carl Gunnarsson told the Leaf Report proudly following a 5-2 victory over New York on Tuesday night, the clubs fifth straight at home.SPIELBERG, Austria -- Red Bull boss Christian Horner says it is unlikely Formula Ones top teams will agree to a drop in prize money when their current commercial agreements with Bernie Ecclestone expire at the end of 2020.Earlier this week, Ecclestone revealed plans to change the prize money structure in Formula One beyond 2020 to reduce the discrepancies in budgets between the top teams and smaller outfits. Under the current structure Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes, McLaren and Williams receive bonuses based on either their historical position within the sport or recent championship success, with Ferrari the biggest earners overall in recent years regardless of on-track success.Ecclestone has proposed a system in which the bonuses are stripped away and all teams receive a flat rate with additional prize money for its finishing position in the constructors championship. But Horner says the top teams are unlikely to agree to a reduction in the payments they receive, arguing Ecclestone should find additional revenue from elsewhere in order to bring the payments to the smaller teams up to a similar level.Its like with all these things, youve got to be comfortable with the amount of money you are receiving, he said. If the money goes up for everybody thats less of an issue than if the money has to go down for some of the teams.So if more revenue can be brought into the sport its for the promoter to decide how the revenue is divided, but of course all the teams will have an issue if their rrevenues drop.ddddddddddddThe current agreements were cut independently between the teams and Ecclestone, with Ferrari negotiating its deal first and Red Bull following soon after. Horner expects a similar scenario as the deals post 2020 are cut.Were still some way off the end of the current agreement, but inevitably -- probably a couple of years before the end of that agreement -- talks will begin and every team will cut the best deal it can, no doubt.Its for Ecclestone to decide how he wants to split the revenues, and whether teams decide to negotiate in a pack ... that rarely works. Its going to be an interesting period.Horner said Red Bulls additional bonuses under the current agreement can be justified by its promotion of the sport outside F1.They were centered around the other aspects Red Bull brings to Formula One in terms of were probably the only company/team that goes out and actively promotes Formula One with our show-car activities, the activities we have worldwide.We were the first team to run in Baku. Maybe that was a contributing factor to them deciding to have a grand prix there. Weve run cars up mountains, cars up beaches, places where you wouldnt expect to see grand prix cars, taking it out to the mass public.Red Bull does a fantastic job of promoting Formula One, and on top of that we have two grand prix teams and a grand prix circuit.
