Football Federation Australia has promised A-League clubs a significant financial boost from its improved six-year, $346 million TV deal with Fox Sports. Adidas NMD R1 Dames .But the governing body wont say how much, and it could be months before impatient owners learn what theyll receive from the increased revenue.Australian football entered uncharted territory on Tuesday, announcing a bumper $57.6 million a year deal deal that trumps - in both size and length - any previous arrangement with its foundation broadcaster.Under the deal, Fox Sports will show all A-League games live and maintain rights to Socceroos and Matildas matches.Fox Sports chief executive Patrick Delaney said FFA had eked the last bit of petrol out of their fiscal tank, as the governing body seeks to grow the round-game in a highly competitive Australian market featuring NRL and AFL TV deals in the billions.FFA claimed it was more than double its existing broadcast deal on a like-for-like basis, given most Socceroos games are now excluded and the free-to-air rights for a primetime Saturday night match not yet sold.Yet the overall deal will still likely fall short of the $80 million a year targeted by Gallop.His son and successor, Steven Lowy, said the lengthier-than-expected contract would offer more surety as the A-League sets sights on expansion, with Fox consulted about their preferred markets.I know for some six years sounds unusual, but its not unusual when youre looking to set a long-term partnership with long-term goals to grow the game, Lowy said.It gives us some certainty to invest in the A-League, W-League and grassroots football.This agreement gives us the confidence and capital to do that.As FFA trumpets their success, the drums are beating in clubland as owners demand to know what slice of the pie theyll receive, with many feeling their current grant disproportionate to the broader revenue generated by the competition.The Australian Professional Football Clubs Association, recently created to represents all 10 clubs, released a statement after the announcement seeking immediate assurances FFA would distribute revenue appropriately.FFA chief executive David Gallop said clubs were briefed on Tuesday and were on board with an incentivised arrangement for funding beyond the salary cap.Weve told them we will work quickly to come up with a funding and distribution model that reflects their investment and acknowledges we have responsibilities to other parts of the game, Gallop said.We cant set a level today, but Im confident we can move quickly over the next few months to get to a significant increase for our clubs.The free-to-air component, pitched at hooking peripheral viewers, is unlikely to be done until the Big Bash League rights are purchased early next year.Channels Seven, Nine and Ten are prioritising the highly popular T20 competition, but Gallop said all had shown interest in broadcasting the A-League.Should none come to the table, Fox will broadcast the fifth match as a safety net, but Gallop was confident FFA would get good value in the free-to-air market.The new deal will end unpopular free-to-air channel SBSs time as a partner of the league.

The news was first reported on Gonzalezs Twitter account and confirmed by the Rockies. Gonzalez has a six-week window before position players have their first workout at spring training in Arizona.The Pittsburgh Penguins quest for the franchises fourth Stanley Cup has hit a snag. Big time! The high-flying Penguins are looking anything but after two games at home in the Eastern Conference Final against the Boston Bruins. The top-seeded club was shut out for the first time in 16 months in Game 1 before dropping a 6-1 decision Monday night. The team now sits in an 0-2 deficit heading into Games 3 and 4 at TD Bank Garden in Boston, and while it would be too soon to say the series is over, the Penguins need to turn things around in a hurry.  But how do they do that? For a team loaded with talent and built to win the Stanley Cup, fans are left asking themselves: Whats wrong with the Penguins? The team looks frustrated playing against a Bruins club that is seemingly taking away the open space they enjoyed during first and second round wins over the New York Islanders and Ottawa Senators. The frustration was no more evident than in Game 1. Forward Matt Cooke earned a major penalty and a game misconduct for checking from behind after hitting Bruins defenceman Adam McQuaid, forward Chris Kunitz was handed an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after mixing it up with Bruins centre Rich Peverley and reigning NHL MVP Evgeni Malkin fought Patrice Bergeron. Captain Sidney Crosby also got into a nose-to-nose screaming match with Bruins captain Zdeno Chara. In all, the Penguins racked up 28 penalty minutes in the first game. Adidas NMD R2 Dames. Penguins head coach Dan Bylsma said that emotions were the area most in need of repair heading into Game 2. The team seemed to bottle that - just four minutes in the sin bin in Game 2 - but the loss was something much more unsettling. It was humiliating. Through two home games in the series, Crosby, Malkin, Kris Letang, Jarome Iginla, Chris Kunitz, James Neal and Pascal Dupuis have combined for zero points and a minus-24 rating. The Penguins power play, the best in regular season, was 0-for-6 in Game 2 and they had 20 giveaways to the Bruins three. In goal, things arent looking much better. The Bruins scored three times in 17 minutes to chase Tomas Vokoun out of the net in Game 2. Vokoun gave up three first-period goals on 12 shots before being replaced by Marc-Andre Fleury. Bylsma did not say who would be his goaltender for Game 3, saying it was "tough" to evaluate how both Fleury and Vokoun played, given the way the team performed in front of them. So as the series shifts back to Boston, the Penguins are in need of figuring out whats wrong and why they cant produce against a team they beat in all three of their regular season meetings. Do you know what they need to do to turn this series around? Whats wrong with the Penguins?  As always, Its Your! Call. ' ' '
