Giants recorded the final out to beat Kansas

RENTON, Wash. -- After the Super Bowl celebration wrapped up, Seattle general manager John Schneider laid out his contract plans to Doug Baldwin. First on the agenda was getting an extension done with All-Pro safety Earl Thomas. Next was figuring out a deal with All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman. And lastly was getting Baldwin locked up. "It was kind of surprising at the end when he said it," Baldwin said. "I didnt believe him, to be honest with you. But here it is and it actually happened the way he said it would happen." The former undrafted wide receiver out of Stanford got his reward on Thursday when he signed an extension that will keep him with the Seahawks through the 2016 season. Baldwin will play the 2014 season under the second-round tender he received as a restricted free agent then will receive two additional years. The deal, first reported by ESPN.com, is expected to be worth up to $13 million over the three seasons. The second-round tender for 2014 is worth $2.18 million. "It all comes back down to what you value. In this game, your value is determined on the amount of money that they give you, but necessarily for me, the value that I wanted to get out of it, that varied," Baldwin said. "It wasnt necessarily just the money. It was the fact that I was able to stay here with an organization that I love, and teammates that I love." Much like Sherman, his teammate going back to college and close friend, Baldwin got his moment in the limelight, posing for pictures holding his jersey and thanking everyone who has helped along the way. Baldwin said he didnt want the attention of a formal news conference. But he did have a bottle of apple cider ready to pop in celebration. "To me this is just part of the process," Baldwin said. "This is not the end goal." Baldwin has proven to be invaluable for the Seahawks throughout his brief career. He was Seattles leading receiver as a rookie and after being slowed by injuries in 2012, bounced back with a standout season during the Seahawks title run. Baldwin had 50 catches in the regular season and five touchdowns in 2013 and was especially reliable on third downs. In the playoffs, Baldwin again came up big at key moments. He had a 24-yard, third-down reception in the NFC divisional playoff game that came one play before Marshawn Lynchs clinching 31-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter of the 23-15 victory over New Orleans. In the NFC championship game against San Francisco, Baldwin had one of the best games in his career. He finished with six receptions for 106 yards and had an important 69-yard kickoff return in the third quarter that helped swing momentum. Baldwin added another five catches for 66 yards and a touchdown in the Super Bowl blowout of Denver. Its been a rapid rise for Baldwin, who went undrafted coming out of Stanford in 2011 and has used that slight as motivation throughout his career. Whether it was the talent of the Seahawks wide receiver corps being questioned or questions about whether he could be more than a receiver playing in the slot, Baldwin has not struggled to find motivation. He could be moving into an expanded role in Seattles offence in 2014. With the departure of Golden Tate in free agency, the Seahawks need to find a replacement to play outside. While most of Baldwins success has come as a slot receiver, he has played on the outside and was in that role earlier this week during the Seahawks first organized team activity. Seattle coach Pete Carroll took it one step further on Thursday by saying that Baldwin would be his starting split end. "Hell be all over the field," Carroll said. "Youll have a hard time tracking him down because hes capable of playing all the positions and all of the spots."

They trail sixth place Nashville and fifth place Dallas by two points.SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The only thing Steve Kerr lost in his coaching debut was his voice.Stephen Curry had 24 points and 10 rebounds, Klay Thompson scored 19 points and the undermanned Golden State Warriors made Kerr a winner in his first game, shaking off a slow start to roll past the Sacramento Kings 95-77 on Wednesday night in the regular-season opener for both teams.I always laughed at Doc (Rivers) and (Tom) Thibodeau. Now it all makes sense, Kerr joked, his raspy voice struggling to piece together words. I got nothing left.The Warriors overcame the first hurdle of Kerrs tenure — besides his wavering voice, that is — with a patchwork lineup that did just enough against their rebuilding Northern California rivals.Golden State played without power forward David Lee (strained left hamstring) and reserve Brandon Rush (lower back spasms). Center Andrew Bogut also was limited to 18 minutes because of a migraine headache. He said he got on the floor with the help of undisclosed medicine and injections.The Warriors went to a smaller lineup late in the third quarter and pulled away with a 22-4 spurt.Those are the games you have to win, said forward Draymond Green, who finished with 12 points and 10 rebounds and played centre during the decisive run.DeMarcus Cousins had 20 points and 11 rebounds but was often stuck in foul trouble, and Rudy Gay scored 14 points for Sacramento in front of an announced sellout crowd of 17,317.The Kings had more turnovers (27) than made field goals (24).I think it was at 5:40 in the third quarter when we were up by one, and we turned into the Keystone Cops, said Kings coach Michael Malone.The Warriors, who fired Mark Jackson as coach after a 51-win season and back-to-back playoff appearances, began a season of high expectations with a sloppy but satisfying victory. Golden State outshot Sacramento 44 to 30.8 per cent, but had 22 turnovers annd was outrebounded 50 to 44.ddddddddddddoth teams started so poorly that fans even turned their attention elsewhere.Many crowded around luxury suites and press row to watch the ninth inning of the World Series on television late in the second quarter. Fans even erupted when the San Francisco Giants recorded the final out to beat Kansas City 3-2 in Game 7 for their third championship in five years.Players and coaches looked around wondering what happened until the public address announcer informed the arena of San Franciscos win. The Kings, who led 49-47 at the half, never got the home fans so enthused.With Cousins on the bench in foul trouble, the Warriors took over with Green at centre and Andre Iguodala at power forward. Marreese Speights also entered during the push and finished with 16 points.Give some credit to them, Cousins said, and some to us.RESUFFLED LINEUP: Harrison Barnes started at small forward for Iguodala, who came in as a reserve for the first time in his 10-year career. Iguodala had started all 807 previous games he played. Barnes started every game he played as a rookie but had a sophomore slump mostly coming off the bench behind Iguodala last season.COURTSIDE KINGS: Kings owner Vivek Ranadive sat in a courtside sat next to his daughter and Hall of Famers Chris Mullin and Mitch Richmond, who are both team advisers.LIVINGSTONS DEBUT: Warriors backup guard Shaun Livingston made a surprising debut after missing all of the preseason recovering from surgery on his right toe. He played 3:40 and said he felt fine.TIP-INSWarriors: The Warriors have won four of their last five season openers. ... Golden State went 4-0 against the Kings last season.Kings: Sacramento had won 15 of its last 16 home openers, including eight straight.UP NEXTThe Warriors host the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night.The Kings welcome Portland on Friday night.
