Mewelde Moore has been signed by the Steelers hoping to add strength to their running back position. Moore will be used by the team as third –down back and will also serve the purpose of kickoff returner. Mewelde Moore, who is a free agent of the Minnesota Vikings has been taken up by Steelers with the belief that he will be able to take the team to a win, said Mike Tomlin, the coach of Steelers. The coach is hopeful about making use of the punt returning as well as kickoff returning skills of Moore to team’s advantage. Moore was taken to the Vikings in 2004 draft and has served them for 4 years.

Moore thinks that he is really fortunate to make thing happen the way he wants it and is clear about making use of this new opportunity. He said, the coach can mould him in any way, to suit the needs of the team and he is willing to continue with the role the coach gives him. Moore is personally attached to the coach Tomlin and feels that he is a man of integrity and winning attitude. Moore wants to play winning games and that is the reason he accepted the Steelers offer.

Asante Samuels just wants to play football for the Philadelphia Eagles. He has great hands and decisive instincts, and he could go a long way playing for the Eagles. The Eagles decided to grab him up and and sign him in 2008. He was signed to a six year contract. He has an All Pro and a Pro Bowl under his belt. So he definitely knows what he is doing on the field. They made him a deal of $57 million with $20 million guaranteed. The Eagles apparently needed a shutdown corner block man, and Samuels was just their man. He hailed from the New England Patriots and won a Super Bowl ring when the Patriots beat the Eagles in 2005 at the Super Bowl.

Lito Sheppard, a Pro Bowl choice twice, is very disheartened with Samuels contract. Sheppard had been offered a five year contract in 2004 and now he is looking for a place where he can be traded. Sheppard’s job of corner back will be taken over by Samuels. The coaches said if you can get a hold of the best one in the NFL, you should grab him immediately before some other team does. Then you won’t have a great team to play with, you will only have amateurs.

German midfielder Dietmar Hamann’s deal with Manchester City was extended for 2008/2009, as Hamann has been significant in the club’s play for a European place.  He was signed on a free transfer after July 2006 when he left Liverpool.  He was also honored for his performance at the 2-1 win at Manchester United, which placed the team three points from the fourth spot in Champions League.

Before signing up with Newcastle in 1998, Hamann had gone to England’s top flight.  He had also enjoyed one season with St. James’ Park before he moved to Anfield.

In 2005, he significantly contributed to driving Liverpool to their Champions League victory when he played as substitute during the second half.  He stayed with Liverpool for seven years, during which he scored 11 goals and made 283 appearances.  Then in July 2006, he signed up with Manchester City after changing his mind about Bolton.

During his first season there, under Stuart Pearce, he had an injury, but then his performance quickly took off in July 2007 when Sven-Goran Eriksson became the City’s manager.

Hamann boasts of 28 outings in the present campaign, which is a great improvement considering the 19 outings he did last season.
