Its official. Chris Paul will remain with the Los Angeles Clippers. As soon as the NBAs free agency period started on July 1, he announced via Twitter, "IM IN!!! #ClipperNation." His contract was then finalized just after the NBAs signing period for free agents and trades was lifted Wednesday at 12:01am et. Paul posted a picture on Instagram signing his deal, which is through the 2017-18 season. Hell reportedly receive the maximum five-year, $107 million maximum contract extension. It was widely understood among NBA circles that Paul would re-sign with the Clippers, who acquired the 28-year-old in a trade with the then New Orleans Hornets in December of 2011, once the team was able to work out a deal with the Boston Celtics to bring in Doc Rivers as its new head coach. Rivers was believed to be Pauls preferred choice to replace Vinny Del Negro, who did not have his contract renewed despite guiding the long-struggling Clippers to a franchise-record 56 victories and a first-ever Pacific Division title in 2012-13. Los Angeles was defeated by Memphis in six games in the opening round of the Western Conference Playoffs, however. Paul has certainly had a significant impact on that recent turnaround as well, with the Clippers posting the two highest winning percentages in team history since he took over as the teams point guard. The six-time All-Star has also led the NBA in steals per game in each of his two seasons with Los Angeles, and was named the Wests Player of the Month after leading the Clips to a perfect 16-0 record this past December. Paul averaged 16.9 points, 9.7 assists and 2.4 steals over 70 regular-season games in 2012-13. For his career, the North Carolina native has averaged 18.6 points. 9.8 assists and 2.4 steals over eight seasons with the Hornets and Clippers. Guy Chamberlin Jersey .C. -- Todd Fiddler scored a hat trick, including the overtime goal, as the Prince George Cougars survived an 8-7 win against the Kamloops Blazers in Western Hockey League play Sunday. Brian Urlacher Jersey . Dukurs winning time was 1 minute, 45.76 seconds, a quarter-second better than Russias Alexander Tretiakov. Lativas Tomass Dukurs was third, 1.41 seconds off the pace. Jon Montgomery of Eckville, Alta. http://www.custombearsjersey.com/custom-dennis-gentry-jersey-large-556t.html . Thousands of Southern California fans enveloped the Trojans to celebrate an improbable win secured by an interim coach, an inconsistent kicker and a thin defence that wouldnt break. Brent Urban Jersey . The Lightning are 2-0 so far on a four-game road trip, giving the club five straight wins as the guest and improving Tampas away record this season to 11-8-2. Mike Ditka Jersey .C. -- When North Carolina freshman Ryan Switzer reported to training camp in August he was a little miffed to learn he was third on the depth chart at punt returner. Unlike most of last season, officials hadnt been the focal point of NFL games until Sunday. Then, Jeff Triplettes crew got in the way of the Ravens-Giants thriller.A few hours later, Richard Sherman got away with grabbing Julio Jones in the closing minutes of the showdown in Seattle where the non-call shifted the power in the NFC.The Seahawks survived 26-24 when Sherman grabbed Jones right arm on Matt Ryans fourth-down heave to the Seattle 25-yard line with about 90 seconds remaining. Falcons coach Dan Quinn was hot on the sideline, but refused to criticize Tony Correntes crew afterward.We certainly had other opportunities in the game to go capitalize and finish, so we wont let it come down to one time for us, or at least comment on that, Quinn said.The Falcons (4-2) failed to follow up their signature win at Denver with another in Seattle that would have stamped them as an early Super Bowl favorite, along with the Seahawks and unbeaten Minnesota Vikings. But the Seahawks have to feel like they got away with one.No, Sherman said. I felt like we won the ballgame.The Giants beat the Ravens 27-23 , but were still furious that their victory was imperiled by Triplette and his crew twice in the final minutes.The Giants lost the lead with 2:04 to play and regained it 40 seconds later on the 66-yard catch and run by Odell Beckham Jr. They then held off a last-ditch Ravens drive that reached the 24-yard line thanks, in part, to a debatable roughing- the-passer call on a fourth-down incompletion that should have sealed New Yorks win.Baltimore took the lead after cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was called for pass interference at the 8-yard line. On the play, both he and receiver Breshad Perriman were looking back for the ball. If anything, Perriman seemed to interfere with the defender .The call went the other way, and Terrance West scored from 2 yards three plays later to give the Ravens a 23-20 lead. Beckham quickly restored New Yorks lead, but then he ripped off his helmet and was assessed a 15-yard penalty.On fourth-and-5 from the New York 39, Joe Flacco threw an incompletion and drew a late-hit call on Owa Odighizuwa, giving Baltimore a first down at the Giants 24 with 15 seconds to play.Unlike the Falcons, the Giants withstood the questionable calls to emerge with the win.Brad Allens crew lost track of Dallas timeouts in Green Bay and thaat cost Aaron Rodgers a chance at a free play.dddddddddddd Rodgers, the master at catching defenses subbing too slowly, caught the Cowboys with 12 men on the field, but the officials granted linebacker Justin Durants timeout call and blew the play dead.The Cowboys were out of timeouts, so the Packers got 5 yards instead of a free play downfield, much to Rodgers chagrin.As far as calls that worked out, Chiefs coach Andy Reid sent in 346-pound Dontari Poe as an eligible receiver on third-and-goal from the 1 at Oakland and Poe caught Alex Smiths touchdown pass.That was, Reid said, was for all the chubby guys out there .Dolphins first-year coach Adam Gase tried to snatch running back C.J. Anderson from Denver in the offseason, signing him to a four-year, $18 million offer sheet that Broncos GM John Elway matched. Gase seems to have settled on Jay Ajayi , who rushed for 204 yards in Miamis 30-15 win over Pittsburgh.Anderson, meanwhile, is averaging 55 yards a game and still hasnt had a 100-yard performance before Halloween in his career. Rookie Devontae Booker looks ready for a bigger role in Denver.Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler probably made a good call when he heaped praise on his former team Sunday night.He left Denver on bad terms after he skipped Peyton Mannings retirement news conference and spurned the teams invitation to attend the White House and ring ceremonies that other free agents returned for. He also took what many Broncos saw as a shot at his former teammates when he said at his introductory news conference that the Texans gave him the best shot at winning.Osweiler leads the Texans into Denver next Monday night.I have nothing but love and respect for the entire city of Denver, the organization, all my old teammates, Osweiler said after leading Houstons comeback over the Colts. So, its purely take the emotions out and have a normal work week and just prepare for a great team.Along with some razzing from the fans and some pressure from Von Miller.---AP Sports Writers Tom Canavan, Josh Dubow and Steve Wine contributed.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton ' ' '
