BROOKLYN, Mich. Torrey Smith Super Bowl Jersey . -- The Army National Guard is staying on as a sponsor of Dale Earnhardt Jr.s No. 88 NASCAR Sprint Cup team. Hendrick Motorsports said Friday it has extended its relationship with the National Guard through the 2013 season. "I think that its good for our team and good for the sport. Were excited that theyre ready to be on board for the next season," Earnhardt said Friday at Michigan International Speedway, where hell race Sunday. "I feel comfortable that were set and we can move forward." The contract was scheduled to expire at the end of 2012. Last month, Congress rejected a bid by Reps. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., and Betty McCollum, D-Minn., to trim $72.3 million for sports sponsorships from a $608 billion defence bill for fiscal 2013. The measure had targeted the money the National Guard spends to sponsor Earnhardt, as well as IndyCar Series driver JR Hildebrand. Kingston insisted that the sponsorship money was ineffective, attracting few recruits, but he and McCollum faced strong opposition from members of North Carolinas congressional delegation as well as lawmakers from Mississippi and Florida. Sports leagues such as NASCAR, IndyCar, Major League Baseball, the National Football League and the National Basketball Association sent a letter to Republican and Democratic leaders urging them to oppose the amendment. Earnhardt didnt sound worried about the possibility the legislation could be revisited. "I was real happy to have the Guard sign, and I expected them to continue to be part of the program. Weve had a real positive relationship, and theyve been real excited about what weve been able to do," he said. "Weve got some great ideas coming up that we just started implementing this past week, where were going to visit high schools and talk to kids and the parents and the principals and getting the Guard an opportunity to have more access at that level, so were doing some good things. "That was a lot of fun. That was the first time Ive been to a high school to talk to a group like that, so I enjoyed that." Ray Lewis Purple Jersey .

The Cavs are interested in the former Portland Trail Blazers star, who abruptly retired before last season because of chronic knee pain. A person familiar with Clevelands interest told the Associated Press on Tuesday that the Cavaliers have not spoken to the 27-year-old or set up a visit with him. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the sides are only in preliminary discussions. A three-time All-Star, Roy spent five seasons with the Trail Blazers and blossomed into one of the NBAs rising young stars. He announced his retirement in December, surprising his teammates and Portlands front office. After sitting out the lockout-condensed season, Roy wants to try and resume his once promising pro career and there are several teams other than the Cavs interested in seeing if he can still play. According to a person familiar with the situation, Roy met earlier this week with the Golden State Warriors. The club is hoping to meet with him again. Ed Reed Womens Jersey. The Cavs, who are approximately $20 million under the salary cap, will undoubtedly give Roy a thorough medical checkup before deciding whether to sign him. Roy averaged 19 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.7 assists in 321 career games. He played in pain during his final two seasons in Portland, and has said he lacks cartilage in both knees. He was the No. 6 overall pick in the 2006 draft by Minnesota, which traded him to the Blazers. In other Cavs news, the team wont have to match any offers for free agent centre Semih Erden, who has signed a two-year contract to play in his native Turkey. Erden averaged 3.5 points and 2.6 rebounds last season. Cleveland made the 7-footer a qualifying offer last week, making him a restricted free agent. The Cavs could have matched any offers made to Erden by NBA clubs. Also, Cavs director of player personnel Wes Wilcox has left the team to become Atlantas assistant general manager under Danny Ferry, who took over as the Hawks GM last week. ' ' '
