BALTIMORE -- Donald Trump was greeted with cheers on his arrival at the annual
Army-Navy game, basking in one of the nations most storied football rivalries as
he prepares to enter the White House.

commander in chief, protected by panes of bulletproof glass, waved to the crowd
Saturday and pumped his fist as he arrived during the first quarter of the 117th
game between the military academies at West Point and Annapolis. The game, on a
sunny but chilly day, was being held on relatively neutral ground, at M&T
Bank Stadium in Baltimore.Trump, in an interview with CBS Sports announcers
Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson, said he was totally neutral on the outcome
of the game and quipped that he might make Lundquist, who was retiring from the
play-by-play booth, his ambassador to Sweden.I just love the armed forces, love
the folks. The spirit is so incredible. I mean, I dont know if its necessarily
the best football, but its very good. But boy do they have spirit, Trump said.
Navy had won 14 straight contests in the rivalry, but Armys underdog Black
Knights prevailed, 21-17, in a fourth quarter comeback that came weeks after
Trumps stunning victory over Hillary Clinton.Trump spent the first half of the
game in the box of David Urban, a West Point graduate and top adviser in
battleground Pennsylvania, and the second half in the box of retired Marine Lt.
Col. Oliver North, a graduate of Annapolis. During the Ronald Reagan
administration, North was the National Security Council aide most directly
involved in covertly selling arms to Iran and providing military assistance to
the Contras, a group seeking to overthrow Nicaraguas left-leaning
government.Taking a break from his deliberations for his Cabinet, Trump was
joined at the game by several top advisers, including incoming White House chief
of staff Reince Priebus, senior adviser Steve Bannon, former New York City Mayor
Rudy Giuliani and Gen. Mike Flynn, Trumps choice for National Security Adviser.
Former Veterans Affairs Secretary Jim Nicholson was also spotted inside the
box.Trump did not formally switch sides at halftime in the traditional symbol of
commander in chief neutrality -- which President Barack Obama did most recently
during the 2011 game -- because Trump is not the sitting president. The incoming
president is a 1964 graduate of the New York Military Academy, a private prep
school near West Point.Trumps appearance at the football game capped off a week
of rolling out Cabinet picks, holding thank you rallies in North Carolina, Iowa
and Michigan, and trying to cement his incoming Senate majority with Saturdays
runoff election in Louisiana.---Follow Ken Thomas on Twitter at

Carl Gunnarsson told the Leaf Report proudly following a 5-2 victory over New

. "It was nerve-wracking, but we pulled through," said Collaros, who threw four
touchdown passes to lead the Toronto Argonauts (8-4) to a 33-27 win over the
Calgary Stampeders (9-3) in front of 28,781 fans at McMahon Stadium. MIAMI --
Ninety minutes up the Florida Turnpike, a restaurant in Fort Pierce advertises
its hours: We take Sundays off, just like the Dolphins.In South Florida and
beyond, Miamis NFL team is again the butt of jokes. Theyre laughing in Fort
Lauderdale, Fort Pierce and probably Fort Collins.Another punchline of a score
could come Sunday when the Dolphins (1-4) play host to the Pittsburgh Steelers
(4-1).The Dolphins are one-touchdown underdogs at home, for good reason.Their
only victory came in overtime against winless Cleveland, and in two games since,
theyve been outscored 52-24.Following last weeks dismal home loss against
Tennessee, first-year coach Adam Gase described his offense as inept, and his
defense might be even worse.The Steelers, meanwhile, lead the AFC North
following consecutive wins by a combined score of 74-27. Here are things to know
about two teams headed in opposite directions:BAD START: Rather than contend for
their first playoff berth since 2008, the Dolphins are in the mix to pick No. 1
in the draft for the first time since ... 2008.Defensive end Cameron Wake is in
his eighth season with Miami and said losing doesnt get easier.I hate it as much
as my first high school game, the first time I lost, Wake said. The same pain,
the same disgust, same fury. It boils inside of you. Unfortunately, Ive
experienced it too many times.As usual, fans have directed the bulk of the blame
at the quarterback. Fifth-year starter Ryan Tannehill has led the offense to
just one touchdown in three of Miamis five games, and he was jeered like never
before last week.But there are plenty of other culprits. The Dolphins rank
fourth worst in the NFL in yards, and fifth worst in yards allowed. Their run
defense ranks last, and their running game next to last.It aint just one person.
It aint one group, center Mike Pouncey said. We all have to do better to win
games.BAD BLOCKING: After Tannehill endured six sacks against the Titans, Gase
released two offensive linemen who made emergency starts, sending a signal that
even the Dolphins have standards.That ensures more lineup changes this week.
Because of injuries and illness, Miami has had three starters at left tackle,
three at left guard and three at center.ANOTHER REVAMPED LINE: The Steelers
wwill play without defensive end Cam Heyward for the first time since they took
him with the 31st overall pick in the 2011 draft.
Luis Aparicio White Sox Jersey. Pittsburgh
will split Heywards snaps between rookie Javon Hargrave and veteran Ricardo
Matthews, while Stephon Tuitt will take over the defensive line calls, a role
Heyward prepped Tuitt for over the past two-plus years.Hes telling me hes
talking a lot more, and we need him to do that, Heyward said. When I come back,
we can do that twice as much. Hes only going to grow in this
situation.Pittsburghs pass rush has picked up after a slow start. The Steelers
have seven sacks in their past two games, numbers that could rise significantly
against a Miami offense thats allowed Tannehill to be sacked 17 times. Only the
Colts have given up more.Were getting more pressure, but weve got to figure out
ways to get the quarterback down, linebacker Lawrence Timmons said.NUMBERS LIE:
Pittsburgh is just 25th in total defense and 30th against the pass, an area the
Steelers pledged to shore up in the offseason when they spent high draft picks
on cornerback Artie Burns and safety Sean Davis.Yet Pittsburgh is a respectable
ninth in points allowed (18.6) thanks in part to effective work on special teams
and an offense that is holding onto the ball.Coach Mike Tomlin said he can live
with the lack of splash plays like turnovers and sacks if it means the defense
doesnt give up chunk plays that can flip the field and momentum in a hurry.We
just have a desire to be a difficult team to beat, and for us it starts with not
beating ourselves, Tomlin said. Defensively specifically, we look at not being a
highly penalized group and one that makes our opponent earn it, and by that I
mean keeping the ball in front of us.FAMILY REUNION: The Pouncey twins will butt
heads Sunday. Not literally, because both play center, but the Steelers Maurkice
and the Dolphins Mike will go against each other for the first time.---AP NFL
