INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts general manager Ryan Grigson got the centre he wanted to anchor Indianapolis rebuilt offensive line -- and its not Jeff Saturday. China Jerseys Wholesale . On Wednesday, the Colts signed Samson Satele, who started 74 career games with the Miami Dolphins and Oakland Raiders. A person with knowledge of the deal says its a three-year contract worth $10.8 million, with $5 million guaranteed. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the team did not announce the terms. "Its a brand new team," Satele said in a statement issued by Indy. "In talking with coach (Chuck Pagano) and everyone else, it feels like a family. Its a fresh, new start for me and a fresh, new team. I cant wait to get this rolling." Grigson said Satele "has all the necessary traits to be one of the top centres in the NFL." "We wanted him, and we got him," he said. "We couldnt be happier that he will now be a Colt for years to come and help us reach our ultimate goal." The latest move is likely to pave the way for yet another big change in this complete off-season overhaul. Indy went 2-14 last season without Peyton Manning taking snaps, and the Colts landed the No. 1 pick in next months draft. Theyre expected to select Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck with that choice. Saturday has been the Colts full-time starting centre since 2000. He became a fan favourite, a key figure in the NFL Players Association and one of Mannings closest friends. But when the Colts didnt re-sign Saturday last week, he became a free agent. Saturday has already visited Green Bay and Tennessee, and there has been speculation he could rejoin Manning in Denver. He also has been contemplating retirement after completing his 13th NFL season -- all in Indy. Whatever Saturday decides, it appears hell be the latest casualty in this rebuilding project. On March 7, the Colts released Manning. Two days later, they cut linebacker Gary Brackett and safety Melvin Bullitt, both team captains, along with running back Joseph Addai, tight end Dallas Clark and backup quarterback Curtis Painter. Theyve also lost receiver Pierre Garcon to Washington. Last week, Indy signed former Baltimore defensive end Cory Redding to a three-year, $10.5 million deal. On Saturday, the Colts added former Baltimore safety Tom Zbikowski for three years, $5.4 million. They also traded for former Eagles offensive lineman Winston Justice. On Monday, they signed former Philadelphia offensive lineman Mike McGlynn. Grigson was hired in January from Philadelphia. Pagano also was hired in January after spending the previous four seasons in Baltimore. Cheap St.Louis Rams Jerseys . NHL hockey is returning to the Manitoba capital.

KINGS TAKE FREEWAY SERIES The Los Angeles Kings stormed the Anaheim Ducks early in Game Seven, building a 3-0 first-period lead on their way to a 6-2 decision, earning the Kings a rematch with the Chicago Blackhawks in the Western Conference Final.BOSTON -- The Memphis Grizzlies may have missed Marc Gasols inside defence. His absence certainly didnt hurt their scoring in the paint. Jerryd Bayless scored 22 points and Mike Conley had 14 with nine assists to propel the Grizzlies to a 100-93 win over the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night. Playing their second straight game without the NBAs reigning defensive player of the year, Gasol, who is expected to be lost for 3-4 weeks with a sprained MCL in his left knee, the Grizzlies built a big lead by overpowering Boston in the paint and hung on late. Zach Randolph scored 13 points, Tony Allen 12 and Ed Davis had 11 with seven rebounds for the Grizzlies, who posted their fifth consecutive road win after losing two straight home games. "Were playing well. Everyones contributing. Weve got to continue to do that," Bayless said of the teams effort without Gasol. "We still have Zach and Zachs a premier big man in the league. Weve got to continue to get him the ball and hes capable of doing great things." Kosta Koufos had 13 rebounds and seven points, starting at centre in Gasols absence. Randolph added seven boards. "Obviously, were going to have to do it by committee and his presence cant be filled by one guy," former Celtic Allen said. "Were going to have to do it together. Guys went down in previous seasons. Weve got to understand theres a lot of games left." Jeff Green led the Celtics with 26 points, Jared Sullinger had 23 and Avery Bradley 16. Sullinger added 12 rebounds. The Grizzlies grabbed the lead in the games opening minutes and never trailed the rest of the way -- though Boston made a late charge in the last 2 minutes. The Celtics trailed 90-77 with just under 2 minutes left before Sullingers late scoring barrage. It came after Boston finally figured out how to guard the paint better. "Thats why its a game of adjusting, changing," Celtics coach Brad Stevens said. "If you look at the game, you give yourself a chance to win. We were never quite back in the game." Memphis five-game road winning streak is two off the club record set from Feb. 17-March 10, 2010. "It always feels good coming back to Boston and getting a win for me personally," said Allen, a member of Bostons 2008 NBA champions. Boston had won its last two games, both on the road. Cheap Tennessee Titans Jerseys. Memphis opened a double-digit lead late in the first quarter en route to a 49-36 halftime edge. "They just came out aggressively and our intensity wasnt there," Green said. "We allowed them to put us on our heels and thats how they got their early lead." Grizzlies guard Mike Miller and a few of his teammates came out to warm up for the second half and there were no basketballs on the court. They had to stand around and wait a few minutes till some were brought out. It didnt matter because they were getting enough easy shots to keep fending off any charge the Celtics made. Boston cut its deficit to nine points three times in the third, but the Grizzlies kept going inside against the Celtics interior defence. Seven of Memphis nine baskets in the quarter came from inside the lane. Miller and Bayless each hit 3-pointers in the fourth and Memphis never allowed Boston to get close until Sullinger hit a pair of late 3-pointers and scored eight straight points in the closing 2 minutes. Bradleys 3 with 14.4 seconds left cut Indianas lead to 96-93. Bayless made two free throws with 13 seconds remaining to seal it. In the first half, the Grizzlies scored the final 11 points of the first quarter, taking a 27-13 lead at the break. Boston hit only 5 of 18 shots from the field in the quarter. Bayless had three points and Miller nailed a 3 during the spree. Memphis first eight baskets in the game came from layups or very short jumpers. Bayless scored seven points as Memphis had 11 of the first 17 points in the second, pushing its lead to 38-19 midway into the quarter. Bradley nailed a 3 from the left corner for Boston, slicing the gap to 45-34, but the Celtics never narrowed it into single digits in the opening half.

Stevens said before the game that the Celtics would have a "small" inside lineup with the 7-foot Olynyk out. It hurt them in the opening quarter. ...
