FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- This could be the end for LaDainian Tomlinson. The Jets running back is a free agent after this season, and he acknowledged that the regular-season finale Sunday at Miami could be the last game of his career if New York does not make the playoffs. "Theres definitely the thought that this possibly could be because you never know how things shake out," Tomlinson said Thursday. "For me, it just depends on the situation. Ive said that before. I would love to keep playing, but if the situation is not right, then I wont. And this possibly could be my last game." Tomlinson signed a two-year deal with the Jets in 2010 after nine record-breaking seasons with the San Diego Chargers. When asked if he would hypothetically accept the veterans minimum salary to return to the Jets, Tomlinson smiled and made it clear he would want more. "Ive got kids, man," he said with a laugh. "I mean, I dont know. It would be hard for me to do that. Its never been about the money for me. It really hasnt. But at some point, you have to close that chapter if it just doesnt line up. So Im just going to wait and see what happens." That means the 32-year-old Tomlinson would be willing to play elsewhere in 2012, but will talk to his family and agent in the off-season before deciding on what he wants to do. "Im open to anything," he said. "It doesnt have to be here. It could be another place. Im just open to playing football." Tomlinson would want to play only for a team that has a shot at a championship -- the reason he chose Rex Ryan and the Jets nearly two years ago. "Speaking off the top of my head, obviously, Ive played this game a long time," he said. "I dont want to go to someone thats going to lose every week. Thats not going to be fun." Tomlinson will enter the regular-season finale needing 35 yards rushing to pass Jerome Bettis for fifth place on the NFLs career list. He has 224 yards rushing this season after taking a backseat to Shonn Greene for the starting job, but has been an effective third-down back with 38 catches for 426 yards. "If it is my last game, Ive enjoyed 11 years of playing football, playing a kids game," Tomlinson said. "Two great organizations. Obviously being here the last couple of years, Ive really enjoyed my time here. The fans have been great. My teammates have been great, the coaching staff. Theres really nothing I can complain about. Really." . Raonic, ranked 29th in the world, will meet veteran Julien Benneteau, No. 35 on the ATP tour, in Fridays second singles match of the World Group tie against favoured France.

Forward Francisco "Piti" Medina put Rayo ahead at Iberostar Stadium with his 14th goal of the season when he used his left foot to acrobatically volley Jose Casados cross just inside the upright seven minutes in.SAN FRANCISCO - Sergio Romo tested free agency, had some offers and ultimately decided he wanted to stay put in San Francisco pitching for the only team he has known.The animated reliever finalized a $15 million, two-year contract with the Giants on Monday, keeping a key member of the bullpen who has been part of three championship runs.When it comes to professional baseball, this has been my home, Romo said. Im very thankful for every opportunity that Ive gotten. This was a place I was able to make a name for myself. This is the only organization I know.Romo gets a $2 million signing bonus payable by Dec. 30 and salaries of $5 million next year and $8 million in 2016. The right-hander could earn an additional $500,000 annually in performance bonuses based on games finished as part of the agreement: $100,000 each for 30 and each additional five through 50.San Francisco also was nearing completion of right-hander Jake Peavys $24 million, two-year deal. A formal announcement was planned for Tuesday.The 31-year-old Romo has spent all seven of his big league seasons with San Francisco, winning titles in 2010, 12 and this year. He went 6-4 with a 3.72 ERA with 23 saves in 64 outings last season as San Francisco earned the wild card and went on to beatt Kansas City in a seven-game World Series.ddddddddddddll in all, I really wanted to stay home. I wanted to stay here, Romo said. I dont really see myself wearing another uniform.Romo and Santiago Casilla have shared the closer job in recent years, with Casilla again taking over ninth-inning duties in 2014 after Romo blew three saves in June.Hes meant so much to our success, manager Bruce Bochy said. So much is talked about with our bullpen. Whether setting up or closing, I thought it was important for our team, for our bullpen. Sergio knows all of us, we know him, theres a sense of comfort there. We know what were getting, a very good pitcher whos comfortable pitching late in the ballgame. I cant say enough about how he carried himself this year. I know we made a switch there. He was all about winning.Romo and fellow relievers Casilla, Jeremy Affeldt and Javier Lopez have been part of each championship team.Sergios resume speaks for itself, what hes done for us in high-leverage situations has been a key to our bullpen at the end of the game, general manager Brian Sabean said. As we reviewed our needs going into the off-season, we very much wanted to keep our bullpen together. Bringing Sergio back, I think weve accomplished that. cheap jerseys cheap nhl jerseys ' ' '
