Garoppolo out

for season

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Jimmy Garoppolo's addition last season immediately turned around the fortunes of the San Francisco 49ers. Now the 49ers will have to go back to life before Garoppolo for the rest of the season.

The Niners announced Monday that Garoppolo tore the ACL in his left knee while making a cut late in a loss at Kansas City, sidelining him for the rest of the season.

The injury deals a serious blow to the 49ers (1-2), who had planned their rebuild around Garoppolo and now must turn again to C.J. Beathard at quarterback.

The Niners struggled with Beathard and Brian Hoyer last season before the midseason addition of Garoppolo changed their fortunes. San Francisco won the final five games last year after Garoppolo took over as starter and the team rewarded him with a $137.5 million, five-year contract.

Brees sets record in win

ATLANTA - On the day he became the NFL's career leader in completed passes, Drew Brees' biggest plays came as a runner.

Brees' 1-yard run capped an 80-yard touchdown drive to open overtime that lifted the New Orleans Saints to a 43-37 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

That came after his 7-yard score late in the fourth quarter forced the overtime. After the Saints won the coin toss, Brees and the Saints held the ball for more than seven minutes.

Brees jumped over the pile on a quarterback keeper after his apparent 3-yard TD pass to Alvin Kamara was overturned. A review determined Kamara's knee was down before he crossed the goal line. Brees scored on the following play, giving the Saints (2-1) the win.

"This was a wild one," said Brees, who passed for 396 yards and three touchdowns and ran for two scores. Kamara had 15 catches for 124 yards and ran for 66 yards.

With his 14th completed pass, the 39-year-old Brees broke the record of 6,300 career completions set by Hall of Famer Brett Favre. Brees set the mark with a 17-yard pass to Michael Thomas in the second quarter.

NBA Media Day Monday

There were some Larry O'Brien trophies on display at Golden State's media day on Monday, shiny golden reminders of the three championships that the Warriors have picked up over the past four years.

Their quest for another is about to begin.

So will the quest by 29 other teams to thwart them.

The offseason is over in the NBA. Most teams held media day Monday, the prelude to the start of training camps. And just like last year, those camps - from Hawaii to British Columbia to Massachusetts and 27 other spots in between - will begin with the Warriors reigning over the league and everyone else pining to get on Golden State's level.

"We've got a long way to go to get to Golden State," said LeBron James, who left Cleveland - and what became an annual date with Golden State in the finals - for the Los Angeles Lakers over the summer. "They can pick up right where they left off ... we're picking up from scratch. So we have a long way to go. We can't worry about what Golden State is doing. Golden State is Golden State and they're the champions."

With the exception of Dallas and Philadelphia, who were permitted to start camp early because they're headed to China for preseason games, every NBA club holds its first practice of the season on Tuesday. The Los Angeles Clippers are going to Hawaii, Denver is headed to San Diego, Toronto is setting up camp a few miles outside of Vancouver.

Whether they're going on the road or staying home, the goal for every club - the Warriors included - is the same: Be better.
