BARCELONA, Spain -- Barcelona defender Carles Puyol has decided to leave the club at the end of the season, preferring to take some time off after several injury-filled seasons and putting his football future in doubt. Bryan Trottier Jersey . The 35-year-old Puyol has spent his entire career with Barcelona, debuting in 1999. But he has made only 12 appearances this season after returning from a long-term knee injury in October. Puyol has been an essential figure in Barcelonas and Spains recent achievements, including helping Spain win the 2010 World Cup and leading Barcelona to three Champions League titles. Puyol said Barcelona has agreed to rescind his contract at the end of the season despite two years remaining on his deal. "The recovery from my knee injury was more difficult than expected. I cannot perform anymore at the level Id want," Puyol said Tuesday. "When the season ends I need to rest and then we will see. Ive got three months left and Im going to give my all for Barca, but I dont know what Ill do at the end of the season." Puyol did not take questions Tuesday as teammates Gerard Pique, Cristian Tello and Jose Manuel Pinto, and former teammate Ivan de la Pena watched. Puyol is a homegrown success story for the Catalan club, coming through the La Masia youth program like teammates Xavi Hernandez, Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta. He was nicknamed "Tarzan" for his scraggly locks which shielded his face and intimidated opponents despite his small stature. His energetic and physical style of play fit perfectly with his leadership qualities, earning him the captains armband at Barcelona until recent injury spells. Puyol, who was raised in the Catalan town of Pobla de Segur, trails only Xavi in appearances made for the club. He scored his first goal of the season in Sundays 4-1 win over Almeria. Puyol won his first trophy with the club in the 2004-05 season -- the first of six league titles. He also won the Club World Cup, Copa del Rey, Spanish Super Cup and European Super Cup to go along with Champions League titles in 2006, 09, and 11. At the World Cup in South Africa, Puyol headed in the winning goal in the 1-0 semifinal victory over Germany. "Hes a reference for every player and a leader on the field of play," Spain coach Vicente del Bosque said. Mario Lemieux Jersey .com) - James Harden needed just seven made field goals to drop 35 points on the Philadelphia 76ers, leading the Houston Rockets to a 104-93 win on Monday. Daniel Sprong Jersey . Mauer drove in two runs before leaving with an injury, Eduardo Nunez homered and the Minnesota Twins beat the Kansas City Royals 10-2 on Tuesday night. http://www.penguinsauthenticofficial.com/conor-sheary-jersey/ . Thats how the Ravens won when Ryan was their defensive co-ordinator from 2005-08, and that is precisely the formula Baltimore used to beat Ryans New York Jets on Sunday.PHOENIX - Tom Brady began winning Super Bowls when Russell Wilson was still a teenager, tuning in to see the big game on TV.Of course I remember watching Brady, Wilson said Tuesday. He won some incredible games. Incredible comebacks. Incredible throws. Incredible plays. Hopefully he doesnt make too many incredible ones this year.When Wilson leads the Seattle Seahawks into the Super Bowl against Brady and the New England Patriots on Sunday, both quarterbacks know the outcome will affect the way each is viewed for quite a while.Wilson can become the eighth starting QB to win consecutive Super Bowl championships, and the first since Brady did it 10 years ago.According to STATS, Wilson also would be the first to claim two in his first three years in the league (as it is, hes the first starting quarterback to make it to two Super Bowls that quickly).Brady, meanwhile, won titles in 2002, 2004, and 2005. But since then, he is 0-2 in Super Bowls, with a pair of losses to the New York Giants in 2008 and 2012.Look, any time you lose the last game of the year, its tough, said Brady, who sounded stuffed up and coughed a couple of times. The last two times weve been in this game, we havent been able to close it out. Were hoping this is our day.A victory over the Seahawks would allow the 37-year-old Brady to match his idol as a kid, Joe Montana, and Terry Bradshaw with four rings.But a defeat would drop Bradys career mark on Super Sunday to .500 at 3-3.You never get over any of those, Brady said about the defeats. As time goes on, you gain perspective and you still had some great years. ... It would be great for this team to try to leave a great legacy.When he won his first NFL championship in 2002, with a 20-17 victory over the St. Louis Rams, Brady was in his first year as a starter and second year in the league.Initially a backup after being drafted in the sixth round, he took over from injured quarterback Drew Bledsoe — and the rest is history.Tom Bradys done a lot of great things over the last 15 years, Patriots tight end Tim Wright said.Who would argue?After the usual Media Day fare concerning his favourite music (Jay-Z got a shout-out) and his hair (but no marriage proposals, as happened in the past), Brady got around to taking questions Tuesday about his place in the game. Carl Hagelin Jersey. He knows full well that Super Bowl success is a major part of how quarterbacks careers are defined. And Brady said he recalls the feeling of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy three times in a four-year span a decade ago.Those things happened so fast back then. I didnt even understand what was happening, Brady said. Its not like I didnt appreciate those experiences. I certainly did. But ... weve had two tough ones.Wilson, 26, has yet to play an NFL season that didnt include at least one playoff victory for his team.He goes about things a different way than Brady on the field, far more skilled as a ball carrier and on-the-move improviser. Wilson can sling the football, too, though, and put it right where he wants it, as evidenced by his 35-yard touchdown throw in overtime to win the NFC championship game against the Green Bay Packers.Before a late comeback, Seattle trailed by 16 points. Wilson had a passer rating of zero at halftime and he finished the game with four interceptions.But that did not concern him Tuesday. The only thing that did was the final score.I want to be considered a winner, said Wilson, sporting a thick beard. Thats ultimately the goal in terms of playing quarterback: Win, win, win.Asked which quarterbacks were his favourites while growing up, Wilson mentioned Brady and Peyton Manning, calling them two guys that Ive looked up to since I was a little kid.In last years Super Bowl, Seattle overwhelmed Mannings Denver Broncos 43-8, part of Wilsons 10-0 record in games against quarterbacks who have won a title.That could become 11-0 on Sunday.To get back to the Super Bowl is a huge thing, Wilson said. Its a one-of-a-kind thing.Not for this games two QBs.___Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Stitched Jerseys Jerseys NFL Cheap Wholesale Jerseys 2018 Jerseys NFL Cheap Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic ' ' '
