SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. Germany is looking to establish a run of Olympic mens field hockey dominance unseen in more than half a century.The Germans seek their third straight gold medal in Rio this August. With a victory, Germany would become the first nation to win at least three consecutive golds since India won six straight from 1928 to 1956.Theres plenty of veteran leadership and experience left over from Germanys past winners, including two former FIH (International Hockey Federation) Player of the Year award winners -- Tobias Hauke (2013) and Moritz Furste (2012). Maximilian Muller, Benjamin Wess, Oliver Korn and Christopher Zeller also have a pair of gold medals.The path is lined with tough challengers, including top-ranked Australia led by stars Jamie Dwyer and Mark Knowles. The Kookaburras won the Champions Trophy in June.Dwyer, the five-time FIH Player of the Year, was on the 2004 gold-medal winning squad, but Australia settled for bronze in both Beijing and London. Hes 37 years old, but still performing at a high level.He has an underlying competitive desire, Australia coach Graham Reid said. The way he approaches training and the way he approaches games -- he brings that to everything to do with hockey, even off the field. Hes diligent, hes professional. And thats what, I think, gives you that longevity. Longevity is not easy in any sport, to be honest, especially in quite a physically demanding sport.Knowles is coming into his own at age 31 as he heads into his fourth Olympics. He was the FIH Player of the Year in 2014.The Netherlands is ranked second and has a long history of being strong at the Olympics. Robert van der Horst, the 2015 FIH Player of the Year, leads the Oranje. He was a part of the Dutch team that earned silver medals at the 2012 Olympics and the 2014 World Cup.Great Britain should be a threat -- England is ranked No. 4 in the world. India is ranked No. 5 and Belgium is No. 6.AArgentina, which won the Pan American Games last year, is No. Doug Martin Womens Jersey. 7.Here are some things to watch as competition begins in Rio:AUSTRALIAS SUCCESSThe Kookaburras have the No. 1 ranking and perhaps something even more important -- a victory at the 2014 World Cup. Australia rolled past the Netherlands 6-1 in the final.I think perhaps it helps a little bit in belief that some of this group has, Reid said. That always helps to know that you can win a really important title like that. Unfortunately, its a long bow to draw to say that just because we won the World Cup, it will have too much bearing on the Olympic Games.INDIAIndia finished second in the Champions Tourney and has moved up to No. 5 in the world rankings. The squad seeks its first medal since 1980, when it claimed the gold in Moscow.HOME COOKING?Brazils men will compete in the tournament, though the team was just No. 30 in the latest rankings. The squad finished fourth in the Pan American Games last year.Host nations have done well the past few Olympics. Chinas women finished second in Beijing in 2008, and Great Britains men were fourth in London in 2012, while its women were third.LUCK OF THE IRISH?Ireland will make its first ever appearance at the Olympics. The team is No. 12 in the latest rankings and features David Harte, the 2015 FIH Goalkeeper of the Year.RISING STARGermanys Christopher Ruhr was named the FIH Rising Star of the Year in 2015. He scored 15 goals in 30 international matches last year. He also won the award in 2013.KEY MATCHES: Belgium vs. Great Britain, Aug. 6; Netherlands vs. Argentina, Aug. 6; Belgium vs. Australia, Aug. 9; Great Britain vs. Australia, Aug. 10; Netherlands vs. Germany, Aug. 12.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. -- As Connect and Divining Rod battled through the Aqueduct stretch of Saturdays Grade 1 Cigar Mile, trainer Chad Brown wondered if the lack of a recent race would compromise his horses chances to win.But Connect, the 3-year-old on the outside under Javier Castellano, kept on persevering and was able to outduel Divining Rod, a 4-year-old to his inside, and win the $500,000 Cigar Mile by a short head.It was the fifth win from seven starts for Connect and his first in a Grade 1. He hadnt run since taking the Grade 2, $1 million Pennsylvania Derby at Parx on Sept. 24, beating Gun Runner, who had won Fridays Grade 1 Clark Handicap at Churchill Downs.I was concerned because he hadnt had a recent race under his belt, but I know how much heart this horse has and how competitive he is, and he really showed a lot of heart today, Brown said. Its very rewarding to see a horse that shows you so much promise since theyre an unraced 2-year-old really turn out to be what you thought they could be. A 3-year-old beating olders in a race like this is a very high mark on his résumé.The win improved Connects record to 5 for 7 and pushed his career earnings to $1.25 million.The win also helped pad Browns résumé for a possible Eclipse Award as top trainer as the Cigar Mile was Browns 60th stakes victory of the year, his 41st graded stakes and his 11th Grade 1.Brown had chosen the Cigar Mile for Connect immediately after the Pennsylvania Derby, believing the horse would need significant time to recover from a hard race. He also felt the one-turn mile would be more significant for Connects second career as a stallion than would Fridays $500,000 Clark, a two-turn, 1-1/8-mile race at Churchill.Also, the Cigar Mile didnt have a Grade 1 winner in the field, and Connect was sent off as the 3-2 favorite in the 10-horse field.Connect settled into fifth position down the backstrretch as Anchor Down sparred on the lead with Threefiveindia, also trained by Brown, through a quarter in 23. Dolphins Hoodie. .31 seconds and a half-mile in 46.44. Realm and Divining Rod were in the second flight.Divining Rod, equipped with blinkers for the first time, and Connect launched their bids almost simultaneously, with Divining Rod three wide and Connect four wide. Divining Rod held a brief advantage turning for home, but by the three-sixteenths pole, the pair was on equal terms. Divining Rod had the lead inside the sixteenth pole, but Connect kept on fighting and got his head on the wire first.You have to ride a little bit, you have to be focused and ride aggressive, and I tried to pass the other horse, Castellano said. He fought all the way to the end.Connect, a son of Curlin owned by Paul Pompa Jr., covered the mile in 1:34.34 and returned $5 as the 3-2 favorite.He ran his race. That was a great race, exciting finish; we just couldnt get there, said Arnaud Delacour, the trainer of Divining Rod. I thought that was a big stretch from both of them. Connect is a great horse.Realm finished third by a neck over War Story, who was followed by Anchor Down, Threefiveindia, Tale of Savall, Economic Model, Mylute, and Ocean Knight.Connect is a two-time winner at 1-1/8 miles, so it is expected that Pompa could have many suitors in terms of leasing the horse for a spot in the $12 million Pegasus World Cup at Gulfstream Park on Jan. 28. The Pegasus is open to 12 horses, but those 12 slots have already been sold for $1 million apiece. However, many slot holders dont have a suitable horse.Pompa said he already has fielded phone calls about the possibility of leasing the horse for that race.Whatever I do Ill discuss with my trainer, Pompa said.

Nine days before the opening ceremony, organizing committee chief Dmitry Chernyshenko said Wednesday that Sochi is "fully ready" and will deliver safe, friendly and well-run games that defy the grim reports that have overshadowed preparations. Glamorgan 280 (Bragg 98, Wallace 67*) and 16-1 require a further 261 to beat Worcestershire 163 (Hogan 4-44) and 393 (Clarke 98, Fell 65, Leach 65, Wagg 5-90)Scorecard Graham Waggs first five wicket haul of the season and a record-equalling performance by keeper Mark Wallace enabled Glamorgan to finally dismiss Worcestershire for 393 on day three of the Specsavers County Championship clash at New Road.But fine knocks from England Lions batsman Joe Clarke (98) and vice-captain Joe Leach (65 not out) enabled the promotion-chasing home side to set a 277 target although the pitch remains batsmen-friendly.Then Leach struck an early blow for the home side as Nick Selman was caught behind without a run on the board - his third successive duck as Glamorgan closed on 16 for 1Wagg finished with 5 for 90 from 33 overs of toil in the scorching heat while Wallace matched his own and Colin Metsons Glamorgan record of nine dismissals in a see-saw match.However the individual highlight of the day was teenager Lukas Carey pulling off one of the catches of the season to deny Clarke a fifth first class century of the campaign. Clarke pulled a delivery from Wagg which looked to be sailing over the square leg boundary for six. But Carey, 19, stuck out his right hand and held oonto the ball at full stretch on the edge of the rope to end Clarkes fine knock. Cris Carter Ohio State Jersey. The home side had resumed on 150-2 - and within two overs had lost two wickets as Tom Fell and Tom Kohler-Cadmore were dismissed. Fell had failed to add to his overnight 65 when he drove hard at Wagg and nicked through to Wallace. Kohler-Cadmore completed a pair when he pushed forward to Michael Hogan and was also caught behind.Worcestershire, who trailed by 117 runs on first innings, were then effectively 35 for 4 but Clarke and Ross Whiteley responded with a fifth wicket stand of 104 in 36.1 overs.Clarke looked in particularly fine form until Careys stunning catch and Whiteley was dismissed in bizarre fashion by Waggs next delivery. The left hander ducked under a Wagg delivery but left his bat upright periscope-style and the ball ballooned off it into the hands of Wallace. Ben Cox and Ed Barnard were both trapped lbw to Craig Meschede and Wagg who completed a five wicket haul.Leach and Jack Shantry provided further resistance in a ninth wicket stand of 56 with the former going to his half century with a six over long-on off Owen Morgan.

LOS ANGELES -- A 42-year-old skydiver with more than 18,000 jumps made history Saturday when he became the first person to leap without a parachute and land in a net instead.After a two-minute freefall, Luke Aikins landed dead center in the 100-by-100-foot net at the Big Sky movie ranch on the outskirts of Simi Valley.As cheers erupted, Aikins quickly climbed out, walked over and hugged his wife, Monica, who had been watching from the ground with their 4-year-old son, Logan, and other family members.Im almost levitating, its incredible, the jubilant skydiver said, raising his hands over his head as his wife held their son, who dozed in her arms.This thing just happened! I cant even get the words out of my mouth, he added as he thanked the dozens of crew members who spent two years helping him prepare for the jump, including those who assembled the fishing trawler-like net and made sure it really worked.The stunt, broadcast live on the Fox network for the TV special Stride Gum Presents Heaven Sent, nearly didnt come off as planned when Aikins revealed just before climbing into his plane that the Screen Actors Guild had ordered him to wear a parachute to ensure his safety.Aikins didnt say what prompted the original restriction, and representatives for the show and the Screen Actors Guild did not immediately respond to phone and email messages.Aikins said he considered pulling out at that point because having the parachute canister on his back would make his landing in the net far more dangerous. If he had to wear it he said he wouldnt bother to pull the ripcord anyway.Im going all the way to the net, no question about it, he said from the plane. Ill just have to deal with the consequences when I land of wearing the parachute on my back and what its going to do to my body.AA few minutes before the jump one of the shows hosts said the requirement had been lifted. Dallas Cowboys T-Shits. Aikins left the plane without the chute.He jumped with three other skydivers, each wearing parachutes.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. Brian Poole Womens Jersey . -- In his first regular season game since last November, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco will wear a brace on his surgically repaired left knee.He knows the brace probably wont go unnoticed by fans, or the Buffalo Bills.Flacco returns Sunday to face Rex Ryans Bills, a team that usually makes pressuring the quarterback its No. 1 priority.Rex always likes to come after people. Thats his nature, Flacco said Wednesday. I dont think hes going to blitz me just to see if my knee will hold up. But maybe.Flacco is one of several Baltimore starters eager to get on the field again after watching the latter part of last season from the sideline. The Ravens placed 20 players on injured reserve, including linebacker Terrell Suggs, running back Justin Forsett and receivers Steve Smith and Breshad Perriman.That goes a long way explaining why Baltimore finished 5-11.Flacco tore his ACL and MCL in November; Suggs ruptured his Achilles in the opener; Forsett broke his arm in the same game that Flacco went down in; Smith tore his Achilles on Nov. 1; and Perriman, the teams top draft pick in 2015, never played a down after tearing knee ligaments during the first practice of training camp.The 37-year-old Smith intended for the 2015 season to be his last. He then decided he didnt want to go limping into retirement.Asked what he was most looking forward to on Sunday, Smith replied, Just taking the time to enjoy being with my teammates and having fun. Im excited to play with Breshad. The young man has been through a lot.So has Smith, who worked feverishly to be ready for the 2016 opener. Even after the rehabilitation process was over, there was still the matter of getting in shape to play football.You cant just go from not playing to all of a sudden playing, Smith said. When I was cleared, I was hurting. The hamstrings were tight, the calves were tight.None of the players returning from injury saw extensive action during the preseason. Smith didnt play at all, Flacco and Suggs played less than a half and Forsett had seven carries for 11 yards.Adding to Forsetts strange preseason was his release Saturday and subsequent return Monday. Forsett knew the Ravens were merely using him to manipulate the roster, but many of his friends were concerned that his career might be over.I was able to watch my own funeral happen, Forsett said with a chuckle.He intends to be rather active against Buffalo.Feed me, Forsett said. Its been a long journey back, and Im excited to get back out there with my boys.So is Suggs, who has essentially played in only one game thats mattered since the end of the 2014 season.Theres nothing like opening day and live bullets, he said. But its going to be like riding a bike. After the first couple of plays, you kind of get back into it and start to do what you do best. Its going to be fun.Flacco played in 137 straight games (including playoffs) before his injury. He missed the final six games and hated every minute of it.It was definitely a tough process, watching all your teammates go out there and play, he said. Im definitely excited to get back out there and be a part of the group.No one on the team has waged more of a fight to return that tight end Dennis Pitta, whos on target to play in his first game since Sept. 23, 2014. Pitta has played in only seven games since the start of the 2013 season because of a bothersome hip that hes injured and re-injured.I know what hes capable of when hes playing at a high level, Flacco said. He hasnt played a game in a very long time, so yeah, its a little bit different. But I expect him to adjust to it relatively quickly.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Tyson Jackson Womens Jersey . Cote was eligible to become a free agent Feb. 15.

For me it wasnt just about money. I think the contract was a great contract, but living in Florida, playing on a team that has a chance to compete for the Stanley Cup every year is important.Killorn, who turns 27 in September, will count $4.45 million against the salary cap through the 2022-23 season.He has 53 goals and 85 assists for 138 points in 272 regular-season NHL games. In 47 Stanley Cup playoff games, he has 15 goals and 18 assists.The Halifax, Nova Scotia, natives 33 playoff points are the fourth-most among Canadian-born players ovver the past three years. Mohamed Sanu Womens Jersey. . That total trails only Jonathan Toews and Duncan Keith of the Chicago Blackhawks and Ryan Getzlaf of the Anaheim Ducks.Ive been pretty fortunate because when you play on a team that does so well, obviously youre going to be put in those situations, Killorn said. I think playoff hockey kind of suits my style.Winning in the playoffs is what its all about for the Lightning, who needed to keep Killorns cap hit manageable with three other restricted free agents who need contracts: forwards Nikita Kucherov and Vladislav Namestnikov and defenseman Nikita Nesterov.General manager Steve Yzerman said recently that negotiations with Kucherovs camp are ongoing, and Namestnikovs arbitration hearing is scheduled for July 29.If Yzerman can get the other deals done while navigating the salary cap, the Lightning should be one of the favorites to win the Cup next season and for several more years after that.Theres obviously still a couple guys that need to be signed, but it seems like most guys want to be here and want to be a part of this, Killorn said. Everyone really believes in the management and what theyre doing, so were just excited for the future.---Follow Stephen Whyno on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/SWhyno .

?Last month, Simone Biles stuck her landing in the floor exercise to win her fifth medal at the Rio Games and cement her status as an Olympic legend. Andre Tippett Patriots Jersey . Last week, the gymnast stuck up for kids with ADHD and became an even bigger hero.After hackers circulated confidential medical records from the World Anti-Doping Agency database and tried to use Biles use of prescription medication to question her credentials, the 19-year-old flipped the script and used the leak to send a powerful message about stigma, mental health and sports. ?As any parent of a child living with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD, or the more commonly used ADD) can tell you, the disorder -- a developmental condition marked by inattention and distractibility, with or without accompanying hyperactivity -- can pose significant challenges in school and social settings. Up to 11 percent of children aged 4-17 have been diagnosed with ADHD at some point in their lives, according to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And Biles isnt the only high achiever with the condition; a host of other highly decorated Olympians, including swimmer Michael Phelps, hockey player Cammi Granato and Michelle Carter, an American who won gold in the womens shot put?in Rio, also have ADHD.The leaked medical records revealed that Biles takes Ritalin, a stimulant commonly used to treat ADHD. The hackers accused her of using an illicit psycho-stimulant while competing, but USA Gymnastics confirmed that Biles had been approved for a therapeutic-use exemption. So she didnt break any rules by taking Ritalin. But her decision to clear the air in such a straightforward way and to take a stand certainly broke down some lingering stereotypes.In spite of the inspiring examples set by Biles and other ADHD all-stars, the condition still carries a certain stigma, says Dr. David Conant-Norville, a psychiatrist in Beaverton, Oregon, who specializes in adolescents and ADHD. Athletes with ADHD are facing an oversized set of obstacles, he says. And ADHD can be a confounding condition because it often makes kids fidgety and unable to focus and yet -- as Biles proved so inspirationally -- many ADHD athletes are capable of concentrating intently on an activity they find rewarding. ?Sports can provide a sanctuary for children with ADHD. Phelps was a hyperactive kid who was diagnosed with the disorder at age 9. His mother, Debbie, once recalled being told by a teacher, Your son will never be able to focus on anything. Then he found structure and purpose in the pool, and went on to become the most decorated Olympian of all time.Carter was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia during elementary school. I was definitely a handful back then, she says. I could not sit down long enough to study. She says that tutoring helped her get on track academically.?And as she gained confidence in school, Carter also found a passion in track and field. With the help of supportive coaches -- like her dad, Michael, a former Olympian and nose tackle for the San Francisco 49ers -- she excelled at shot put, made the U.S. national team at 15 and earned a scholarship to the University of Texas.?The hackers arent the only ones who take umbrage with ADHD. Some coaches still scoff at the disorder, mistaking its real, medical symptoms for bad behavior, poor parenting or an athlete just not trying hard enough and dismissing the kid as uncoachable.Both parents and coaches need to understand that distracted, impulsive or hyper behaviors are not willful, but part of the brain wiring in ADHD children, says Dr. Ronald?Kamm, a past president of the International Society for Sport Psychiatry?and member of USA Gymnastics national health care referral network. Its not personal. Its the condition. Prescribing medication for an ADHD child is no different from prescribing insulin for a diabetic. ?And medications such as Ritalin, which helps control symptoms such as hyperactivity and impulsivity, do not give athletes an unfair edge in competition, Kamm says. They are performance enablers, not performance enhancers, he says. They simply level the playing field so that someone like Simone Biles has the same amount of dopamine in her prefrontal cortex as her competitors do.Coaches who cut or bench kids simply because they dont have the patience to deal with their ADHD or assume the kid is too scatterbrained to succeed in sports do them a great disservice, says Conant-Norville. Many ADHD kids need sports as an outlet for their energy -- not to mention a way to rebuild confidence clobbered by the negative reinforcement they get from teachers, coaches or their neurotypical peers.Sports can be a wonderful opportunity for these kids to experience success, says Conant-Norville, who also serves as psychiatric consultant to the United States Anti-Doping Agency. Finding a coach who can understand an ADHD athletes challenges, channel her energy and appreciate her gifts is key, he says. But make no mistake -- as Biles showed, kids with ADHD do have very special gifts.Having ADHD can actually be an advantage in certain?sports, Kamm says. You scan the world around you while the coach is talking and take in more than the average kid does. That can work against you in certain situations, like when your mom is talking about cleaning your room. But in athletics it can work for you. Kids with ADHD can see the whole field. They can take in everything thats going on all at once and change focus rapidly. So it makes sense that they thrive in certain, fast-paced sports.The impulsivity and fearlessness common in kids with ADHD also comes in handy in individual sports like martial arts or gymnastics, where ADHD isnt a hindrance, but perhaps a superpower. The key -- as with all superpowers -- is learning to harness it.Biles was clearly at the height of her powers in Rio. The hackers may have tried to seize on outdated stigmas and misperceptions, but they didnt succeed in overshadowing an Olympians proud moment. The response from Biles was clear: ADHD is not shameful, and taking medication to help manage its symptoms is not cheating. Biles -- along with Phelps and Carter -- is a world-class athlete who simply happens to have ADHD.Its such a positive when athletes share their personal stories, Kamm says. It normalizes it. It shows that people with ADHD can become high achievers.Carter, a three-time Olympian and a seven-time U.S. champion in shot put, briefly tried medication to help her manage the symptoms of ADHD but says it made her overly focused on mundane tasks so she stopped taking it. She says she hopes her success in athletics will encourage and inspire others with learning and attention issues.What I would tell a kid with ADHD and dyslexia or someone who struggles with anything in life is this: When you put your mind to it, you can do anything, says Carter. Learning disabilities do not go away, but you learn how to adapt. You may have to work a little bit harder, it may take a long time, you just may do it differently -- but you can do it.Aimee Crawford (@AimeeJCrawford) is a senior editor for ESPN.com and a baseball, soccer, hockey and hoops mom/coach to two sports-obsessed kids.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says his side deserved their dramatic 2-1 victory at Crystal Palace after fighting back from a goal down with 10 men. Pat McAfee Womens Jersey . Klopps side were behind just after the half-time interval after Joe Ledleys strike, and their task became even harder when James Milner was sent off for a second bookable offence in the 62nd minute.But Liverpool fought back after Alex McCarthys slip allowed Roberto Firmino to equalise, before substitute Christian Benteke scored a last-minute penalty to seal all three points. Its well deserved, Klopp told Sky Sports. After an intensive period, we played really well against a well-rested team. Should Liverpools injury-time penalty against Crystal Palace have been awarded? Jamie Carragher and Thierry Henry debated the decision We were not clear enough in the first-half and again we conceded the goal after three chances to clear. We didnt do too well.We had to strike back with 10 players and it was brilliant what we did. Klopp celebrates victory at Selhurst Park with Christian Benteke Liverpools winner came from a controversial penalty which saw Benteke go down in the penalty area after minimal contact from a Damien Delaney challenge, but Klopp believes the correct decision was made.Ive seen it in the dressing room and it was a penalty, Klopp said. Its an unlucky situation for the defender but his knee hit his foot. Thats how it is. Benteke scores from the penalty spot Its a clear penalty because Christian would have been in a very clear position to shoot. Then 2-1 and its a perfect day.Liverpool played the final 28 minutes with 10 men following Milners red card and Klopp admitted he took some risks with his formation, but praised his sides passion after they completed a comeback victory at Selhurst Park. Liverpools Benteke scored a late penalty to seal all three points We changed the system, Klopp added. We went 3-4-2 and thats what we tried. It was a little bit risky on the right side. Dejan Lovren had to deal with the winger and the full-back.Adam Lallana is of course a very offensive player on the left but at this moment you have to try something.  The rest is passion.Offensively its not a problem. You dont need 11 players to play well in attack, its a problem defensively. In defence you always need more passion than formation.Its a big moment for us.

At the news conference on Tuesday announcing his hiring as Suns coach, Jeff Hornacek spoke at length about his readiness for the job and the influences that will guide him. "Ive always felt that Ive been a coach," he said. "My dad was a coach, so Ive been around basketball since I was 5 years old." Hornacek played the first six of his 14 NBA seasons with the Suns. He was traded to Philadelphia in the Charles Barkley deal, then went to Utah, where he found great success as the backcourt teammate of John Stockton. Hornacek retired from playing to spend more time with his family, then eased into coaching, first as a shooting instructor in Utah, then since 2011 as a full-time assistant with the Jazz. His coaching style, he said, would be heavily influenced by his days playing for Cotton Fitzsimmons in Phoenix and Jerry Sloan in Utah. "Hopefully, I can take Jerrys toughness, Cottons enthusiasm and confidence-building and blend them together," Hornacek said, "and become a great coach like some of the great coaches that have been here in the past." He went through a "whos who" list of the best Suns players in the past, from Gar Heard to Walter Davis, Alvin Adams, Kevin Johnson, Barkley and Steve Nash. "Theres been great success here over the years," Hornacek said. But the Suns never have won an NBA title, and things have gone from mediocre to far worse the last couple of seasons. Hornacek inherits a team that went 25-57 last season, the worst record in the Western Conference and second-worst in Suns history. Only the teams inaugural season of 1968-69 was worse. Owner Robert Sarver said that these days the Suns "are selling hope." Hornacek will embody that belief as new general manager Ryan McDonough works to improve the teams unimpressive roster. Phoenix has the fifth and 30th picks in next months draft. Hornaceks philosophy will be to build teamwork with a consistent improvement on the court. He especially looks forward to working with young players, although he knows that fortunes arent transformed overnight. "Sometimes its a tough deal as a coach, as players," Hornacek said. "Youre going to have some struggles and thats when you have to stay positive through that, kknowing that youre ultimately striving to get better and you have a higher goal. Johnny Unitas Youth Jersey. " He said that he will enter the season with no preconceived notions on players and looks forward to the teaching aspect of his job. He said that todays players often havent received much quality coaching before they get to the NBA, often after just a year in college. His experience the last few years with Utah, Hornacek said, showed him that the demeanour of young players is not indicative of their willingness to be taught. "They may look at you and you might think theyre not paying attention," he said, "but they really do want to learn." McDonoughs first task when he replaced the fired Lance Blanks was to find a coach. He had heard all the great things about Hornacek but said the hiring seemed "almost too obvious." After McDonough met with Hornacek last week, he understood what all of those who had promoted him for the job were talking about. The team then moved quickly over the weekend to finalize the deal. Hornacek brings an amiable personality to a challenging job. He thinks thats an asset, because when he does come down hard on players, it will be a rare occurrence that gets their attention. "You have to find that fine balance between being able to get on guys and not harping on them all the time," he said, "because if you do that theyre going to tune you out." Hornacek has a home in Phoenix but McDonough said the new coachs abilities, and not the fact that he had such strong ties to the Suns, were the reason he was hired. "That was a bonus," McDonough said. Hornacek replaces Lindsey Hunter, who became interim coach after Alvin Gentry and the team parted ways in mid-January. Hornacek was drafted in the second round by Phoenix in 1986, the 46th selection overall. He eventually became part of a high-scoring backcourt with point guard Kevin Johnson, but he was sent to Philadelphia in the Barkley trade. Hornacek spent less than two years with the 76ers before being traded to Utah, where he played alongside Stockton for six-plus seasons, helping the team twice reach the NBA Finals. He averaged 14.5 points, topped by a career-best 20.1 points in 1992, his final season with Phoenix. He retired in 2000, and after working with the Jazz in various roles, he became a full-time assistant coach in 2011.

For us to have the ability to run the ball like we did, thats a real plus.ROOKIE WATCHFalcons: LBs Deion Jones and DeVondre Campbell were in the starting lineup. Jones, a second-round draft pick, played in the middle while Campbell, taken in the fourth round, played on the weak side.POSITION BATTLESFalcons: QB Matt Simms, who is competing with Sean Renfree for the No. 3 spot, directed a 15-play, 98-yard drive for a fourth-quarter touchdown.Browns: K Patrick Murray, who is competing with Travis Coon, made an extra point after Clevelands first touchdown.INJURY UPDATEFalcons: PK Nick Rose handled all of the teams kicking duties because of injuries.

PETERSBURG, Fla. LAS VEGAS -- The?Nets?went 0-for-2 on the restricted free-agent market Sunday, as the Portland Trail Blazers and Miami Heat matched Brooklyns four-year offer sheets for 24-year-old guards Allen Crabbe and Tyler Johnson.Now, its back to the drawing board for Nets general manager Sean Marks and the rest of his front-office staff, who worked hard in putting together deals -- which totaled $125 million -- they didnt think Portland and Miami would match.Rebuilding Brooklyn put several stipulations in those deals -- including poison-pill provisions, trade kickers and player options -- in an attempt to deter Portland and Miami from matching, but they did so anyway.First, Portland matched Brooklyns four-year, $75 million offer sheet on Crabbe, and then Miami matched the Nets four-year, $50 million offer sheet on Johnson, leaving Brooklyn empty-handed.Both players confirmed the deals via social media.Its definitely disappointing not to have those two guys. But at the same time, were excited; were excited that those guys actually chose the Nets, the Brooklyn Nets to sign offer sheets with, Marks said. I think that says a lot about [head coach] Kenny [Atkinson] and his staff and the vision set forth. Well go back at it again. Theres certainly a Plan B, and thats in progress right now, which, again, were excited about. And we wish those guys all the best.Marks admitted that he expected the Blazers and Heat to match the two players offers.Theres no secret we were going after two top-tier guys, guys that we valued that are 24 years old that can be part of a program a building program from the foundation all the way up. So we would have been excited to have them, but when youre dealt the hand that we have, and we dont have a whole lot of young assets, in terms of picks, thats the way weve got to go do it, play within the rules, Marks said. Hines Ward Steelers Jersey. .After missing out on Johnson, the Nets signed veteran backup point guard Greivis Vasquez to a one-year deal.Great opportunity for me to show that Im healthy and I can help a team win, Vasquez told The Undefeateds Marc Spears.The 29-year-old was limited to just 23 games last season in?Milwaukee?due to right ankle surgery. He holds career averages of 9.0 points and 4.8 assists.Brooklyn is coming off a 21-61 season and does not have total control over its own first-round pick until 2019.?Prior to adding Vasquez, all the Nets had done this offseason was sign Jeremy Lin, Trevor Booker and Justin Hamilton.?With Crabbe and Johnson no longer in play, Brooklyn must now turn to a contingency plan to fill out its roster, which is still bare and lacking in dynamic young talent.Crabbe and Johnson both elected to sign with the Nets in part because their roles wouldve been expanded.I think that shows that we are starting to build something here. Theres no secret, its going to take time. We never said this is a quick, sort of six-month fix here, Marks said. The fact that again the two guys chose - a couple top-tier free agents chose to come and sign an offer sheet with us, I think that speaks a lot.Crabbe was to be the teams starting shooting guard, while Johnson would have served as its sixth man and backup point guard.Brooklyn was taking a big risk in inking Crabbe and Johnson to those massive offer sheets, but the front office believed both players had significant potential.Nets coach Kenny Atkinson is best known for his ability to develop players and help them improve.
