Believed to be

FOUND ONLINE: Now on the market again Floyd believes his best football is still in front of him and the Miami Dolphins believe this too and are believed to have already tabled a offer to the former Notre Dame receiver which is believed to be a 2-year deal.

 I believe this may be the record for using believe in one sentence.

 The writer could have varied this somehow. Two believes would have been OK. Four? No.

 Also, it's a two-year deal.

 Now on the market again, Floyd believes his best football is still in front of him, and the Miami Dolphins agree. They apparently have offered the former Notre Dame receiver a two-year deal.

Sunk the game-winning jumper

FOUND ONLINE: Laettner caught a full-court pass from teammate Grant Hill with 2.1 seconds on the clock, dribbled once, faked to both sides, and dramatically sunk the game-winning turn-around jumper.

 Since you have caught, dribbled and faked in this sentence, you need sank, not sunk.
