After a record 36 Melbourne Cups, Victorian race caller Greg Miles has announced his retirement.The 57-year-old announced on RSN927 on Monday, he wanted to go out on his terms while still at the top of his game.His will continue as Victorias main caller until his contract expires in June, unless a replacement is found earlier.Ive had a good innings. Ive enjoyed it and I still enjoy it but I dont want to be the bloke who went on two years too long, Miles told RSN927.I would rather be the bloke who went two years early.Ive been thinking about this for five years and it feels right.Its the right time to go.A long break in the middle of the year during which Miles travelled overseas helped him make up his mind to step away from race broadcasting.He said calling three meetings a week and the amount of work required pre-meeting, as well as post-meeting, was taxing.He said he had contemplated calling just one meeting a week but didnt believe that was fair, saying broadcasting was a full-time job.Miles said on reflection he was stepping away from calling having had the best spring carnival of his career.Nothing will change until June unless a replacement is found earlier with Miles to be a member of the selection panel.Beyond June, Miles will have involvement with some historical projects on racing.com while hes also in discussions with RSN927.Im far from walking away from the game, Miles said.Im not going to miss calling, because Ive done plenty of it, and Im not going to miss racing because Ill continue to go.Im still welded on to it a bit but its the right time to walk away from broadcasting and do some other things.Racing Victoria will develop a scholarship for aspiring racecallers to be named in his honour with Miles to play an active role in nurturing young talent.Steve Young 49ers Jersey . -- Team after team passed on Andre Ellington in the draft.

In Europe, top teams seem to be largely happy with their squads after spending nearly $1 billion in the off-season. And although English league clubs are unlikely to splash cash in January, Arsenal and Chelsea could be tempted to strengthen their squads with new strikers.NEW YORK -- After months of frustration and uncertainty, Muhammad Wilkerson got the long-term contract he believed he deserved.The New York Jets pulled off a last-minute stunner, signing the Pro Bowl defensive end to a five-year extension and beating Fridays deadline after which Wilkerson would have had to play this season under the franchise tag amount of $15.7 million.The deal is worth more than $85 million, including $37 million in guarantees through the first two years, according to a person familiar with the contract. Through three years of the deal, Wilkerson will be paid $54 million in guaranteed money, added the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team does not announce financial terms of contracts.The 26-year-old Wilkerson had a career-high 12 sacks last season and was selected for his first Pro Bowl, but was unable to play after breaking his right leg in the season finale at Buffalo. The 2011 first-round draft pick had said this offseason he was disappointed at not receiving a new deal from the Jets, who instead placed the franchise tag on him.It appeared the sides would not be able to reach an agreement before the deadline at 4 p.m. EDT, when franchised players had to sign new contracts or be forced to wait to renegotiate until next offseason.But just as many fans began to take to social media, upset at a deal not getting done, the Jets announced on Twitter that they had signed Wilkerson to a multiyear contract. For good measure, they added a photo of Wilkerson signing his new deal. In a short video posted by the team, Wilkerson said it was for five years.I give my all every Sunday on the field and play with so much love and passion for the game, Wilkerson wrote on Twitter. Im thankful for everything that comes my way and proud to say Im back on the green and white for a few more years.Wilkerrson has been asking for a new deal for the past two years, but watched anxiously as other players at similar positions, such as Philadelphias Fletcher Cox (six years, $103 million), received extensions.ddddddddddddThere was increasing sentiment that Wilkerson could opt to not show for the start of training camp later this month -- and he wouldnt be fined since he hadnt yet signed his franchise tender.That would have potentially made an increasingly tense situation worse.Wilkerson could have become an unrestricted free agent next offseason, but there was also the possibility that the Jets could use the franchise tag on him again.Despite the uncertain contract situation, Wilkerson had spent time at the Jets facility during the offseason while working his way back from the injury. As of last month, Wilkerson said he had been running for several weeks, but its unclear if he will be healthy enough to practice at the start of training camp.Several of Wilkersons excited teammates congratulated him on Twitter, with wide receiver Brandon Marshall writing: Getting (at)mowilkerson locked in was huge for our locker room. Congrats bro!! Thank you (at)nyjets.Added fellow defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson: Boi if u could see my face when I seen my (time line). big dawg congrats Fam. well deserved. bout time!!!!! you know Im geeked for ya. get healthy. lets keep eating. got my Bro back.Wilkerson, from Linden, New Jersey, gets to stay home to play for at least five more years after compiling 36 1/2 sacks through his first five NFL seasons. The former Temple star has 372 total tackles, seven forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 77 career games.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
