(AP) ��� The New York Jets will consider all their options regarding quarterback Mark Sanchez in the offseason, a person with knowledge of the situation tells The Associated Press. The person, who requested anonymity because the team���s personnel plans are private, tells the AP on Thursday that the Jets have not made any determinations involving Sanchez. That means the benched quarterback���s status is in limbo and a trade cannot be ruled out. He���s not alone. The futures of Tim Tebow, coach Rex Ryan and general manager Mike Tannenbaum with the Jets also are uncertain. Parting ways with Tebow, the popular but little-used backup, appears likely. Friday December 21, 2012 WARRIORS Curry at heart of team���s hot start OAKLAND (AP) ��� The moment Mark Jackson saw Stephen Curry return to the court in September for the first time since the point guard���s most recent right ankle surgery, he had an epiphany. Not the kind that comes to Jackson when he preaches from the pulpit for his ministry. Nor the sort he shouts from the sideline as the Golden State Warriors��� coach. Instead, he just kept quiet and smiled about the possibilities. ������You just saw like, ���Man, that���s what I���m talking about. I can really be a better coach this year,��������� Jackson said, chuckling. The truth in Jackson���s joke, as even he admits, is that nobody is questioning his coaching abilities now in large part because nobody is questioning Curry���s health. The Warriors (17-9) are off to their best start since the 1991-92 season, when the team began 21-8 behind Tim Hardaway and Chris Mullin. Golden State enters Friday night���s game against Curry���s hometown Charlotte Bobcats playing like a playoff-bound team in the Western Conference. That���s no small feat for a franchise that has missed the postseason 17 of the last 18 years. Neither is it a mild milestone in Curry���s comeback, not after his troubled right ankle sidelined him for most of the last year and had some wondering whether he could ever be the point guard who looked so MCT file photo Golden State Warriors shooting guard Stephen Curry battles for the ball against the Mavs in November. promising in his first two seasons. ������Missing games and not having complete confidence that my ankle would hold up was tough,������ Curry said. ������To be at this point right now playing and helping the team win, it definitely feels great to just be able to focus on games.������ Warriors general manager Bob Myers believes Curry���s breakthrough this season came at Dallas on Nov. 19. Curry made only 4 of 12 shots through three quarters and rolled his right ankle early in the fourth before he picked it up offensively, scoring 14 of Golden State���s last 17 points in regulation. Curry added six points in overtime to lift the Warriors to a 105-101 win. ������Everybody kind of was thinking, ���Here we go again,��������� Myers said. ������He kind of had this look, it was 49ERS like a boxer who takes a punch and starts laughing. He went the other with it and came out guns blazing and performed exceptionally well and won us the game, really. He took over the game. That, to me, was a pivotal point in our season. Not only for his leadership ability but for the rest of the players on the team to see how talented he was, when needed to be the man, he could do it.������ Myers took the risk of signing Curry to a $44 million, four-year contract extension through the 201617 season hours before the season opener at Phoenix. Curry had even sat out the final two exhibitions as a precaution because of ankle issues.

Jets consider options with Sanchez 1B MCT file photo San Francisco 49ers' Dashon Goldson (38) tackles Detroit Lions' Kevin Smith at home in September. Goldson���s hard hits earning him new label SANTA CLARA (AP) ��� Dashon Goldson has a stack of manila envelopes in his locker, filing away the paperwork every time the NFL has fined the San Francisco 49ers safety. While he has heard from the league office more than a dozen times in his six-year career, the letters often had little to do with his hard-hitting ways until this season. Goldson estimates he has been fined $70,000 for socks, pants and other uniform violations ��� about $5,000 for each offense. He said his latest letter from the NFL, however, notified him of a $21,000 fine for an illegal hit Sunday night on Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, which Goldson plans to appeal. All the crackdowns have earned the 49ers��� franchisetagged player a new league label: multiple offender. The Hawk, as teammates call Goldson for swooping in for shots on receivers, said the fines still won���t change the way he plays when the 49ers (10-3-1) face the Seahawks (9-5) on Sunday night in Seattle with a chance to clinch the NFC West title. ������I don���t have time to sit there and dictate in the timespan I have as a football player when I���m on the football field to dictate what���s a clean and what���s a not-soclean hit,������ Goldson said. ������I���m not a dirty player. And that���s just that.������ Goldson, playing on a one-year contract of $6.2 million, has had multiple fines for his play. Among them: ��� $7,875 for a late hit on sliding Rams quarterback Sam Bradford on Dec. 2. ��� $7,875 for taunting ��� unsportsmanlike conduct ��� after tackling Seattle running back Marshawn Lynch in October. ��� $25,000 for punching Arizona receiver Early Doucet in November 2011 (Doucet was fined $10,000 for unnecessary roughness for striking Goldson in the helmet area). ��� $5,000 for a late hit on Raiders receiver Louis Murphy in October 2010. In his latest offense, officials whistled Goldson for a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after he barreled into Hernandez as the tight end was still in the air See 49ERS, page 2B NEW YORK (AP) ��� The NHL could be one step away from canceling another hockey season because of a labor fight with the players. In the latest round of cancellations, the NHL on Thursday wiped out all games through Jan. 14. More than 50 percent of the schedule has been lost, and the rest is now in great danger, too. "I don't want to characterize what today's cancellations mean or don't mean," NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly told The Associated Press in an email. "I will stand on the announcement that was made." So far, 625 regular-season games have been called off, including nearly 100 in the announcement made Thursday ��� the 96th day of the NHL's lockout. The New Year's Day Winter Classic and the All-Star game also have been lost. The NHL had previously canceled games through Dec. 30. Daly said in a radio interview Wednesday that mid-January is likely the latest the sides could go to make a deal to save the season. When pressed, however, he said he expects the season will be played. No drop-dead date has been announced by the NHL, which is the only North American professional sports league to cancel a season because of to a labor dispute. The 200405 season was lost to a lockout. Daly said the sides hadn't been in contact with each other Thursday, and no new talks are planned. The groups have remained apart since two days of meetings with a federal mediator last week produced no progress. There haven't been negotiations since Dec. 6 in New York, when talks broke down after a few days of bargaining. Since the sides split last week, there has been limited contact ��� phone calls and a brief email exchange. The NHL believes negotiations should resume only when there is something new to say. "I don't think either party is refusing a meeting," Daly said Wednesday. "But unless there is an indication one side or the other is prepared to move or has a new idea to move the process forward ��� and so far neither side has indicated ��� I am not sure what we would do at the meeting. "What is the agenda? Who is directing the conversation? We don't have anything new to say right now." Union executive director Donald Fehr said Wednesday he was glad to hear Daly's belief that there would be a season, and added he hopes Daly is right. "Hopefully, we'll get back together and negotiate out the remaining issues as soon as possible," Fehr said. "(We aren't talking) because the owners have not indicated a desire to resume. "We've indicated any number of times that we're willing to resume when they are (and) we're willing to resume without preconditions. So we're waiting to hear back from them."
