order went out. >> i sent out things over my different social medias offering deliveries for people who ordered cookies so i've been dragging my mom down the peninsula, through san francisco, around marin, delivering cookies to anyone that wants them. >> reporter: but many girls are stuck with cookies they can't sell by the deadline on sunday. >> reporter: year the girl rooo. scouts of n counl letting return the shatgen to council is absorbing the cost for them to donate those cookies to various places and people who could use cookies right now, like schools who are serving lunches while school is being closed due to the shelter in place. >> reporter: in mill valley, volunteers set up a carefully controlled site for their troops to bring unsold cookies, all with social distancing in mind. >> these are all the cookies that are left over and have been

returned from troops. >> reporter: if you want to help, you can buy cookies online for yourself or to be donated. >> we had a lot of people offer to donate cookies to first responders, to food banks, anywhere they could to really just help the community during the pandemic. >> reporter: the website is ilovecooki ilovecookies.org. the last day for orders is sunday. kristen sze, abc7 news. awesome. in sports, informal. in teams and free agents are still conducting business during the coronavirus pandemic, but abc7 news anchor, director -- sports director larry beil has some other details in sports. >> good morning, everybody. for years the tampa bay buccaneers logo, the swashbuckler with the knife in his teeth, looked kind of silly, cheesy, right? now you have tom brady? officially signing and now that looks kind of cool, doesn't it? brady said he's excited, humble, and hungry. this is a two-year deal worth a guaranteed $50 million with

incentives that could push it up to $60 million. and, yes, chris godwin will give up number 12 for tom so he will remain tb-12 with the bucs. espn reports that emmanuel sanders, the wide receiver, is going to sign with the new orleans saints. this is a two-year $16 million deal. it gives drew brees yet another dynamic target to go along with michael thomas. sanders had 36 catches and three touchdowns after being acquired by the 49ers midseason. but he wanted more money than the niners could afford to bring him back. mixed martial arts legend daniel cormier was a guest on a podcast as tough and healthy as d.c. is, even he admitted coronavirus challenges are real. >> in everything that i've seen, i think this is the most worrisome because of what you said. it's something you can't see daily, right? you can't gauge -- it's hard for me to gauge the disappointment.

everything that had happened to me before, it was like right in my face, you know. when i lost my daughter and my father now and all the professional loss, it was like right in my face. i knew what i was dealing with. in this sense, i don't really know and i don't think any of us do, and i think it's that uncertainty that makes it so difficult. >> we also spoke with warriors rookie eric paschall. he saw the nba season abruptly halted last weekend and he's trying to cope like the rest of us. >> it's a different time being able to be shut down and not supposed to go outside and practice social distancing and seeing all the stores close, but just keep a positive attitude. find new hobbies. try to keep yourself busy. i know it's rough staying in the house all day. >> steph curry is in the house, an avid golfer working on his short game. look at this. >> yeah!

>> the carom off the front door and into the cup. and steph is pumped. that's the course he's going to be playing far while. that's the casa de curry course. have a great and safe weekend, everybody. i'm larry beil. >> steph curry is great at everything. we will be right back, everyone, with a f
