MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Three Miami Dolphins and nearly two dozen other VIPs simultaneously smashed guitars in the end zone Wednesday to christen Hard Rock Stadium as the new name for the teams home.Ive never broken a guitar before, receiver Jarvis Landry said with a grin. Theres a first time for everything.Defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, safety Reshad Jones and rapper Pitbull also were involved in the ceremonial smashing. It came at the end of a news conference to announce the naming-rights deal that is for nearly $250 million over 18 years.The agreement will help pay for a nearly completed $500 million stadium renovation that includes a canopy over the stands and new scoreboards.The stadium, which opened in 1987, is home to the Dolphins, Miami Hurricanes and Orange Bowl game, and will be the site of the 2020 Super Bowl. Brazils national soccer team will play six or seven games at the stadium in the next several years, and Real Madrid has scheduled a game at the stadium next year, the Dolphins announced.Hard Rock is the eighth name for the stadium, most recently known as Sun Life Stadium. Hard Rock International, based in Orlando, Florida, has restaurants, hotels and casinos in 70 countries, including two hotels and casinos owned and operated by the Seminole Tribe of Florida.The NFL approved the naming-rights deal while the tribe is involved in a federal lawsuit over whether it is conducting illegal gambling in its casinos because key parts of the tribes gambling agreement with the state have expired. The Dolphins deal is with the company that owns the Hard Rock brand, not the entity that owns the Florida casinos, the NFL said.Hard Rock is a name that is synonymous with music and entertainment, league spokesman Brian McCarthy said. To eliminate any potential confusion, both the Dolphins and Hard Rock agreed that there would be no gambling-related advertising in or around the stadium, which otherwise would have been permissible under our policy.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Mark Stone Jersey .

OMAHA, Neb. -- No one at Creightons game had to go hungry Friday night.Fans win free pizza when the 10th-ranked Bluejays score 75 points. That was taken care of less than five minutes into the second half against Longwood.By the end of a 113-58 victory, Creighton had set the CenturyLink Center record for points and posted their most lopsided victory since beating Texas-Arlington by 56 in November 2002.Players hungry for minutes were satisfied, too.

The Bluejays are off to their best start since the 2003-04 team opened 12-0.We try not to focus on everything thats said in the media, although its great and were very honored to be mentioned and talked about so highly, Zierden said. We know that we have a long ways to go to be where we want to be and we have to try to stay focused and get a little bit better.THE BIG PICTURELongwood: The Virginia-based Lancers got a nice paycheck for coming halfway across the country to play their first Top 25 opponent in four years.Creighton: This one turned into a glorified scrimmage for the Bluejays. Everybody who suited up got to play, and no one got hurt. Seems like a win-win. Now they take off a week for final exams.POLL IMPLICATIONSWith wins by 15 points over Nebraska and 55 points over Longwood, Creighton wont drop from No. 10 in the Top 25 come Monday.HE SAID ITI tried to do everything in my power when we were up 2-0 to get the game called. I thought about hitting the light switches. I tried everything.
