MANCHESTER, England -- England striker Danny Welbeck has signed a new four-year contract with Manchester United.The 21-year-old Welbeck has been at United since he was eight, and has scored 17 goals in 64 appearances since making his first-team debut four years ago.Manager Alex Ferguson says Welbeck "has made fantastic progress in the last couple of years ... he has become an important player at international level as well, as the maturity of his performances at the European Championships showed."Welbeck faces increasing competition for a spot in the United team since Robin van Persie joined last week, although he started in favour of the former Arsenal forward in Mondays 1-0 loss at Everton in the opening match of the season.

Now, hes wondering why he ever felt that way.The 53-year-old Lehman had an eagle and five birdies on the first eight holes on the back nine Friday, then bogeyed the par-4 18th for a 7-under 65 and a one-shot lead after the first round of the Champions Tours Insperity Championship.

In 2012 it was the New York Football Giants who were playing their best football in December and by February had won the 46th Super Bowl. And now as we wrap up 2012 it just may be the year that Seattle returns to the Super Bowl after losing their last in 2005 to Pittsburgh in Detroit in a game that they could have and should have won.As I was watching the 49ers-Seahawks game, two aspects of football team building and on-field play really caught my attention. In terms of team building this 2O12 draft my go down as the best in the history of the organization. Seattle has identified and developed six players out of the 10 draft picks taken that have all made major contributions.Now the best draft ever may be the 1974 Pittsburgh Steelers draft where they found Lynn Swann at No. 1, Jack Lambert at 2, John Stallworth at 4 and the great Mike Webster at number 5. A very good year.But look at what the Seahawks found in April of 2012, and how they are contributing here in December. In the first round, Bruce Irvin, a projected third-round pick who Pete Carroll took in the first round from West Virginia, is one of the best third-down pass rushers in football. Then, in the second round there was Bobby Wagner, a middle linebacker from Utah State. An every down player that communicates defensive calls from his coach Ken Norton Jr., remember him?In the 3rd round, Russell Wilson, we know of him and will see a lot more. Who takes a 511" quarterback in the third round? As a general manager John Schneider did and the results have been extreme. Then, fourth round, running back Robert Turbin, again from Utah State. Logic says because of his running style Marshawnn Lynch will get hurt.dddddddddddd Robert Turbin looks ready to go.In the sixth round, the sixth round! Jeremy Lane, a cornerback from Northwestern. He looked like a fourth-year pro filling in for the suspended Brandon Browner. This Sunday he did not look like the "Sunday Night Football" stage was too big for him. And finally, in the seventh round, seventh, J.R. Sweezy. A 65" 298 lb. guard that was the Seahawks starting right guard on Sunday night. And you know what? He is good. High effort player that uses all of his skills to get the job done consistently play after play.Six players from one draft is a building block of immensity that cannot be undervalued. Now in accordance with the excellence of the decisions back in April is the viciousness of the game on Sunday night. The hit by Cam Chancellor, second year out of Virginia Tech, 63" 232 lbs., on Vernon Davis I though was within the rules as I did not think the head was targeted. Then later in the game, the hit by Lee Roy Hill on receiver Mario Manningham that tore two major ligaments in Manninghams knee was also legal but vicious. And it is that word I use to describe the assassins on the Seahawks, vicious. And vicious can take you a long way in football.I have often said, especially in big games the amount of verbal and physical intimidation that goes on is shocking when the circumstances create the opportunity. Seattle is an intimidating team to play. From the style of running back Lynch, to the return game of Leon Washington to the presence of defensive tackle "Red" Bryant. You had better be in the right frame of mind and emotion when you play the Seahawks.The playoffs in football are so unique because the best team does not always win. It is the team that is playing their best that will possess the 47th Super Bowl come February 3. And it could be any of 12 teams. But in the AFC, Denver is playing their best football. In the NFC Green Bay is on a roll. Atlanta is tough at home and the NFC playoffs go through Atlanta and with a win over the Colts - who are already a Wild Card player - the AFC playoffs go through Houston.And then there is Seattle
