SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Tom Brady reminisced for a minute, practically giddy rewinding back to his teenage years and childhood as a San Francisco fan watching Joe Montana with all the other greats and witnessing The Catch.Then he touched on some winning football before quickly taking off to go greet all of his supporters here at home.What a day for the Patriots star. One he waited for over nearly two decades as an NFL quarterback. And how fitting a rainbow even emerged as the game clock expired on his triumphant first game at San Franciscos home field following a 17-year wait .Making the day even sweeter, Brady won his 199th career game in Sundays 30-17 New England victory over the 49ers, tying Hall of Famer Brett Favre for second-most wins by a quarterback in NFL history. With his next one, Brady will match Peyton Manning for the top spot.Nostalgic from the start, Brady threw for 280 yards and four touchdowns, getting four TD passes with no interceptions for the 21st time in his career. He missed a chance to play at Candlestick Park in 2008 because of a knee injury.Brady had time to say hello to Tom Rathman. He saw Steve Young at halftime.Rathman, the former fullback and current 49ers running backs coach, was one of the quarterbacks favorites.He was neighbors with my best friend. I got to know him a little bit before the draft and he was just starting in coaching. I always loved the way that he played and the way he spiked the ball after he scored, Brady said.He autographed my shoe at this store opening when I was probably 12 or 13, he and Roger Craig. Great memories.Under pressure on the slick grass, Brady found Danny Amendola for a 5-yard touchdown to start the fourth quarter then later hit Malcolm Mitchell on a 56-yard score for his fourth TD pass .Brady also threw short touchdown passes to Julian Edelman and James White on his first two possessions and completed 24 of 40 passes. The AFC East-leading Patriots (8-2) bounced back from last weeks loss to the Seahawks by prevailing on a soggy afternoon at Levis Stadium.Edelman caught a 4-yard TD pass for the first score of the game, breaking away from Keith Reaser to the corner and just keeping two feet inbounds. He finished with eight receptions for 77 yards and Mitchell made four catches for 98 yards and White six for 63.Brady hit White for a 9-yard touchdown then Amendola reached a career high with his fourth TD catch of 2016 on the first play of the fourth quarter. Mitchells athletic, reaching grab between two defenders and straightaway speed after the catch for his first career touchdown sealed it.LeGarrette Blount had a season-long 44-yard run and finished with 124 yards rushing, his fourth 100-yard performance this season.With so many family and friends in the stands, Brady completed eight of his first nine passes and nine of 11.It was very cool. It doesnt get any better than that, he said. To have the first chance to ever do that was very special.DEBARTOLO HONOREDFormer 49ers owner Edward DeBartolo Jr. received his Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence during a halftime ceremony with umbrellas galore.I was told all these years I brought rain, thunder and lightning to this franchise, and I guess today proves it, he said.NEW NICKNAMEThe 1-and-Niners is an emerging nickname for a team that matched a franchise-record losing streak done once before. The 1978 team lost nine straight.KAEPERNICKS DAYColin Kaepernick was sacked five times and had a great first half.He couldnt sustain it, but he is still Chip Kellys starter.Were always evaluating every week, but I dont think Colin played poor today, Kelly said.Kaepernick threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Vance McDonald late in the first half and Shaun Draughns 13-yard TD catch in the fourth. But he went 8 for 21 in the second half after completing 8 of 9 passes in the first half.He didnt have one top target: A shoulder injury forced Torrey Smith to miss the first game of his career after playing 89 straight during six NFL seasons.NO TURNOVERS: San Francisco fumbled five times, but didnt lose any of them. The game featured no turnovers, a remarkable stat given a game played in rain for most of the day.The 49ers went without a turnover for the first time all season.SOUVENIR BALL: Phil Dawson will find a special place for this souvenir ball -- the one from his 400th field goal Sunday.He became just the 10th kicker in NFL history to reach the mark with a 33-yarder in the first quarter. Teammates immediately congratulated his achievement.In a team game its hard to feel good about individual accomplishments, San Franciscos 41-year-old kicker said. Probably when its all said and done and Im no longer a member of the team Ill enjoy it a little more.UP NEXTPatriots: Travel to face the Jets on Sunday.49ers: Travel to face the Dolphins on Sunday.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys China . -- Kyrie Irvings last-minute 3-pointer helped seal another victory for Cleveland -- and the Cavaliers longest winning streak since LeBron James left.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Rhode Island has reached a $25.6 million settlement with two of the financial backers it sued over a disastrous deal with former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schillings 38 Studios video game company.The states Commerce Corp. announced Tuesday that it has agreed to the proposed settlement with Wells Fargo Securities and Barclays Capital Inc.The settlement was filed Tuesday in Rhode Island Superior Court and is contingent on the courts approval.The company founded by Schilling moved from Massachusetts to Rhode Island in 2010 after the states economic development agency agreed to give it a $75 million loan guarantee. The deal was financed through bonds offered to investors. Less than two years later, 38 Studios ran out of money and filed for bankruptcy.The state says its still in litigation with First Southwest Co. and Schilling.The new settlement brings to $42 million the amount the state has recovered from parties involved in the deal.This really and truly is a hard-won victory for all the parties, particularly the taxpayers of the state of Rhode Island, said retired Superior Court Judge Francis Darigan, Jr., who was called in as a mediator to help broker the settlement.Darigan told reporters Tuesday that negotiations are ongoing with the other parties and he is hopeful they can agree to a settlement before a trial scheduled for October. But he described Wells Fargo and Barclays as the biggest players and said hes doubtful the state will be able to recover ffrom the remaining parties the nearly $40 million it says its still owed.ddddddddddddhat might be a stretch, Darigan said. Im hoping that we can make a significant contribution towards that, but I dont want to mislead anybody to think that the state is going to recover every nickel.Wells Fargo said in a statement that its pleased to have reached an agreement.We are not admitting liability, nor did we do anything improper, spokesman Gabriel Boehmer said in a statement. It is simply in our shareholders best interest to minimize the risk that accompanies lengthy litigation.The states top law enforcement officials announced last month that there would be no criminal charges following a yearslong investigation into the people and organizations involved in the 38 Studios deal. But the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is still pursuing a lawsuit against Wells Fargo and Rhode Islands economic development agency, which accuses them of making materially misleading statements about the bonds used to fund the deal.Democratic Gov. Gina Raimondo said in a statement Tuesday that the settlement is a big step in recovering taxpayer money lost to a bad deal.Rhode Islanders understandably feel hurt by this deal -- and I do too -- but I want everyone to know that we are demanding accountability, getting money back, and moving the state forward, she said.
