NEW ORLEANS (AP) Drew Brees said in a radio interview Wednesday night that he is frustrated by what he views as a lack of communication with the New Orleans Saints in his ongoing contract negotiations, adding the club should have shown more urgency to get a long-term deal done.

OCEANSIDE, Calif. (AP) A bicycle stolen from Junior Seau's Oceanside home days after the former NFL star's suicide has been recovered, police said.

NEW YORK (AP) Like a little kid with a brand new toy, Eli Manning couldn't wait.

SAN DIEGO (AP) A San Diego restaurant opened by Junior Seau in 1996 has closed its doors two weeks after the NFL star's suicide.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) The Indianapolis Colts have signed four of their 10 draft picks, including the last pick of the draft, Chandler Harnish.

NEW YORK (AP) Arbitrator Shyam Das heard arguments Wednesday from NFL and players union lawyers on whether Commissioner Roger Goodell can discipline players for actions that occurred before the league's current labor agreement was signed last August.

Tim Tebow's attorneys sent a cease and desist letter to the folks at Cubby Tees who are making these T-shirts, according to TMZ:

Tebow's attorneys put it this way: "The Merchandise makes it appear as if Mr. Tebow actually endorses Cubby Tees and its products." Where that actually happens is a bit of a mystery.

The shirt, as you can see, remixes the Jets logo to a more Jesus-friendly theme. The "NY" is replaced with "MY" and the "JETS" is replaced with "JESUS." In addition, what's normally a football at the bottom of the logo is the "Ichthys," or "sign of the fish," often used to express faith.

And yes, when you think of Jesus and the Jets together, you probably think of Tebow, but the shirt itself contains absolutely no Tebow references. I am neither a theologian nor a lawyer, but I don't think Tebow is the only one allowed to claim Jesus as "My Jesus." But again, I'm not sure exactly how close Tebow and Jesus are. I could be wrong about that.

It's not the first time something like this has happened, either. Jerseys like these have existed for years.

The Cubby Tees people specialize in fun sports-themed T-shirts ‒ others you may enjoy include this Rob Gronkowski special, or perhaps this new RGIII apparel. Given their other shirts, I wouldn't interpret this as necessarily making fun of Tebow, but I'd doubt that they were 100 percent religiously motivated, either.

I'd have thought Tebow would've liked this shirt ‒ especially after he once endorsed people wearing No. 15 "JESUS" jerseys in Denver, as long as their heart was in the right place. Again, I don't see the infringement here ‒ there's no likeness of Tebow, and his name isn't on it anywhere. It seems to be for people who love the Jets and Jesus.

In the end, I think the cease-and-desist serves only to give loads and loads of free publicity to the Cubby people, and probably sells a lot of T-shirts. In the end, the people from Cubby Tees aren't backing down -- per the TMZ story, they sent a response to Tebow's representatives, stating that the design "shares nothing with Mr. Tebow except for promotion of a common Lord and Savior."

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) The Colts are out of Luck at this week's mini-camp.

Speedy New York Jets running back Joe McKnight gained 16 pounds in the offseason in order to transform himself into a more durable NFL running back. And how did he add the weight so quickly?

"A lot of McDonald's," the 215-pound back told reporters. "I ate healthy, but the majority of the time I was eating bad. I'm not going to say I was eating all the right stuff like Tim Tebow."

Oh, McDonald's, scapegoat of weight gains worldwide. Why does it always have to be McDonald's that gets blamed? Sure, the elite sneer at the golden arches (check out the comments section in this New York Times Magazine article), but trendy burger joints like Shake Shack aren't exactly Weight Watchers approved.

McKnight said he gained the weight and then worked out to convert his bulk into muscle, but nobody heard that part because they were all wondering what Tim Tebow eats. My guess: Grilled chicken, half a plain baked potato, steamed broccoli and a glass of chocolate milk if he's been an especially good boy.

The running back shouldn't have to go far to get advice on weight loss. Portly Rex Ryan showed up at Jets minicamp looking svelte after his lapband procedure. The coach has dropped 90 pounds since January.
