He received the silver trophy from Indiana Pacers All-Star Paul George, San Diego Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers and Olympic medal-winning sprinter Bryshon Nellum.

Just not the game. Kyle Palmieri scored two straight goals in the third period to rally the Anaheim Ducks past the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Tuesday night.COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- Calling it a historic moment, Commissioner Bud Selig said Thursday that Major League Baseball plans to expand its video review process next season, giving managers a tool theyve never had in an effort to dramatically reduce the number of incorrect calls made in games. Selig made the announcement after two days of meetings with representatives of the 30 teams. The proposal is to be voted on by the owners in November. "Im proud of them," Selig said about the replay committee. "Its worked out remarkably well. Its historic. Theres no question about it." A 75 per cent vote by the owners is needed for approval, and the players association and umpires would have to agree to any changes to the current system. But the announcement was met with mostly praise at ballparks across the country. "This is the time. Its time to make the right decision," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "It was not available several years ago. So, just live with it, understand it. It makes things better. It makes things more accurate, so whats wrong with that." MLB executive vice-president Joe Torre gave the replay presentation to representatives from all 30 teams Wednesday and it was discussed Thursday morning. Atlanta Braves President John Schuerholz, a member of the replay committee along with Torre and former manager Tony La Russa, said the umpires were receptive to the change. Schuerholz said 89 per cent of incorrect calls made in the past will be reviewable, but he did not provide a list. Umpires have come under increased scrutiny following several missed calls this season. "We believe this will be very impactful and very, very meaningful and useful for all sides," Schuerholz said. "Managers will have a new tool that theyll have to learn how to use." Managers will be allowed one challenge over the first six innings of a game and two from the seventh inning until the completion of the game. Calls that are challenged will be reviewed by a crew in MLB headquarters in New York City, which will make a final ruling. A manager who sees a call he feels is incorrect can file a challenge with the crew chief or home plate umpire. Only reviewable plays can be challenged. Non-reviewable plays can still be argued by managers, who can request that the umpires discuss it to see if another member of the crew saw the play differently. Reviewable plays cannot be argued by the manager. Challenges not used in the first six innings will not carry over, and a manager who wins a challenge will retain it. The home run replay rules currently in use will be grandfathered in to the new system, Schuerholz said. MLB expects to use the new system in the 2014 playoffs, and the system could be enhanced in the post-season. Training sessions for umpires will start in the Arizona Fall League this winter and continue into spring training. "We know we have to prepare people for this," Schuerhollz said. Marco Verratti Jersey. "Everyone is embracing it. We believe managers will in time." Schuerholz said after the first year MLB will look at what worked and what didnt and make adjustments for 2015. "Its going to take some time," he said. One of Seligs major concerns was the possible slowing of games. Schuerholz said with a direct line of communication between the central office and the ballparks the expectation is that replays under the new system will take 1 minute, 15 seconds. Current replays average just over 3 minutes. "We want to prevent stalling," Schuerholz said. "If its a reviewable play, he (the manager) has to tell the umpires hes going to review it." In other matters, Selig said baseballs investigation of Biogenesis, the now-closed Florida anti-aging clinic accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs, has been completed. Alex Rodriguez was suspended through 2014 and All-Stars Nelson Cruz, Jhonny Peralta and Everth Cabrera were banned 50 games apiece on Aug. 5 when Major League Baseball disciplined 13 players for their relationship to Biogenesis. Rodriguez has appealed his suspension. Selig also called the Tampa Bay Rays stadium situation "very, very discouraging." "Baseball needs a resolution to this problem," Selig said with Stuart Sternberg, principal owner of the Rays, in the room listening. "I find it a very, very troubling situation. We were optimistic this was moving in a very positive direction. Unfortunately, its stalled." Selig said the situation was serious enough that he was giving "very strong consideration to assigning someone from MLB to intervene in this process, find out exactly what the hell is going on." "Theyve been a model organization, extraordinarily capable," Selig said. "Theyve done everything in their power to make their ballpark situation work. Years have ticked by now with no tangible progress." The team is obligated to play at outdated Tropicana Field through 2027 and is averaging just over 13,000 fans a game this season. The low attendance figures have led to the Rays receiving millions of dollars in revenue sharing. "Without that, we wouldnt be able to compete," Sternberg said. "The other owners are looking at it. How many years is this going to be? How much money is it going to be? We should be able to get to the point where the revenue sharing dollars we would receive dont need to be so significant year in and year out." Relocating is not on the table, Sternberg said. "Frankly, I havent been able to get this (new stadium deal) done," Sternberg said. "Something needs to be done and nothings happening. Weve got an enormous following, but something is clearly stopping people from coming through our doors. This isnt a one- or two-year thing. Even the economy has picked up a bit and our attendance has gone down."

Rob Howleys complete focus is on Wales this season -- but he could also be part of the British and Irish Lions coaching staff in New Zealand next summer. Renato Augusto Jersey .Howley, a former Lions Test player who filled Lions coaching support roles in South Africa seven years ago and then during the successful 2013 Australia tour, takes charge of Wales with Warren Gatland heading up Lions business.Gatland is due to name his support team for the New Zealand mission on December 7, with Howley among a number of coaches likely to be in the frame for a 10-match expedition that begins on June 3.I thoroughly enjoyed the experiences in 2009 and 2013, Howley said. There is no doubt that the experiences as a player and a coach -- that six to eight-week period with the Lions -- you come back and our (Wales) environment no doubt benefits from those experiences you have as a coach.And no doubt, that will happen post-2017, with Warren coming back.Howleys priority during the next 10 months will be Wales four-Test autumn series and then the RBS 6 Nations Championship, with an added significance of holding a strong world ranking position ahead of next years 2019 World Cup pool draw.Wales found themselves in the same 2015 World Cup group as England and Australia, being handed a ferociously-tough draw on that occasion largely because they had slipped down the global standings.Team Wales comes first and foremost, Howley added. From a coaching, management and conditioning perspective, its about Wales for the next 10 months.I am so keen on our home record. In the last three-and-a-half years its about 70 per cent (success).In the next 10 months, we have got six home games, and you look at the world rankings and what is at stake for everyone involved, we want to better our home record. Its a huge carrot and motivation for the players.We need to improve our home record, and if we better that in terms of the 70 per cent, I am sure from a world rankings perspective, we will be in good shape.My role for the next 10 months from a Welsh perspective is that we are as successful as we can be, and thats the challenge.

The Masters champion and winner of last weeks Australian PGA has a three-round total of 14-under 199 at Royal Melbourne. "Im in a really good position for tomorrow," Scott said. Walking out for NXT Takeover: Toronto on Saturday in front of nearly 20,000 people will undoubtedly be the biggest moment of Bobby Roodes professional wrestling career.Its been a bit of whirlwind, he told ESPN by phone when asked for his thoughts on a memorable 2016. But honestly, I wouldnt have it any other way.An 18-year wrestling veteran, Roode spent the bulk of his career as one of the stars of Total Nonstop Action wrestling, alongside the likes of?A.J. Styles, Samoa Joe, Sting, Kurt Angle and a?number of other names recognizable to WWE fans, past and present. At 39, Roode finally got his chance to sign a WWE contract, and in June, he debuted at the Download Festival on NXTs UK Tour.He has since become one of the developmental brands hottest acts.Starting back with WWE over six months ago, its been an amazing experience, he said. Being part of Takeover: Brooklyn was pretty cool, thinking back to my very first match in England. Here I am now, just days away from another Takeover, [and now] Im gonna perform on probably the biggest night of NXT in my hometown at the Air Canada Centre ... Its been great -- better than I ever expected.One of the biggest reasons Roodes popularity has exploded so quickly in NXT is his theme song, a Queen-inspired operatic, prog-rock epic entitled Glorious Domination. It was so universally popular that it went to No. 1 on the iTunes chart in August, after Roodes equally grandiose entrance at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn II, where he defeated Andrade Cien Almas.Its been pretty unbelievable that the song has caught fire across the world, he said. Being as experienced as I am and having been in this business as long as I have, any time you can add a layer to your character that gets a fan reaction like the Glorious song, its a huge plus.Im having fun with it. Brooklyn was huge, the first time when it was played, with 15,000 people singing it. Im really looking forward to being in Toronto, where I grew up a fan in the area, where there are some of [the] greatest wrestling fans anywhere in the world. When that song hits on my entrance, Im looking forward to hearing the people of Toronto and just having fun.The moment when he steps out to face Tye Dillinger on the WWE Network live special -- in front of a hometown crowd for both men -- will be all the more incredible, given where Robert Roode Jr. found himself less than 12 months ago.But hes so much more than a theme song. When I briefly met Roode on Jan. 26 in a pub in North London, he was still contracted to TNA. He was signing autographs and taking pictures at a fan event ahead of TNAs UK tour show that weekend at Wembley Arena.He had just turned 39 on New Years Day, so Roode could be forgiven for perhaps thinking the door to WWE was closed.However, as he told me in our interview this week, The one thing Ive learned in sports entertainment is that nothing is for certain, and you never say never. You have to start somewhere in anything you do.There had been hope almost a decade earlier. Roode had impressed at a series of tryouts for WWE back in the early 2000s, appearing on bygone shows such as Jakked, Metal, Sunday Night Heat and Velocity, as well as dark matches before Raw and SmackDown.Thats the goal, right? You want to get a job, get hired, want to be seen, he said. You go do these dark matches, you network and show your face as much as you can.But a contract offer never came. Roode eventually signed with TNA in May 2004, but he never fully gave up hope.I believe in life that everything happens for a reason, he said. The timing back then with WWE didnt work out. It passed me by the first time. But there was a reason for it. I made a name for myself.Sitting alongside him that cold, January evening at Shillibeers Bar and Grill, around the corner from Caledonian Road underground station, was his longtime tag-team partner, James Storm. Together, the duo were known as Beer Money in TNA, and they had just reunited after five years apart.Storm had reportedly been offered a deal by WWE after appearing on two NXT tapings in the winter of 2015, but somewhat surprisingly, he re-signed with TNA, claiming they offered him more money.Beer Money went on to win their sixth TNA world tag team championship after reuniting, but each was an accomplished singles competitor in his own right. Both men held the TNA world heavyweight championship once, with Roodes reign still standing as the longest in TNA history, at 256 days. All in all, Roode won 11 championships in TNA, and Storm won 16.That weekend at Wembley Arena, Roode wrestled Kurt Angle in one of Angles three final matches for TNA on a farewell UK tour named in his honor. On this night, Roode seemed a bit more pensive than Storm.Given his mindset at the time, that was understandable.I enjoyed 12-plus years in TNA, but in the end, II didnt like being there doing what I was doing. Miranda Jersey. That was my issue, Roode said candidly. I needed to get away.In recent months, TNA has become increasingly dogged by financial issues and embroiled in a bitter legal battle over ownership between Dixie Carter and Billy Corgan. Thats a far cry from when the two appeared together at those Wembley tapings.Roode and other TNA talent such as Austin Aries and Eric Young have all since decided it was time to up sticks. All three have found an unexpected home in one of wrestlings hottest brands.I obviously wanted to keep wrestling and stay in the business, Roode said. The opportunity came up with WWE, and its been an incredible experience.Roode made his NXT debut in June in the UK, and it was only a couple months later that Storm announced he was finished with his commitments to TNA. A reunion with Roode in NXT seemed possible, but Storm has stuck to wrestling on the independent circuit. Perhaps the WWE bridge was burned when he spurned them to return to TNA.I have not spoken a word to James since I left in March, Roode said. Im not sure what his plan is. We havent spoken.Roode has also been keen to detach himself from the political machinations going on at TNA.Honestly, I really havent been paying much attention. I know theyre having some trouble there, he said. The way I look at it, the more companies out there, the more work for the guys, the better. I have a lot of friends there, and I want the best for them.One person Roode spoke to before heading to WWE was Styles. It was just two days prior to my brief encounter with Roode in London that his fellow former top guy in TNA debuted in WWE -- to an incredible response.A.J. and I are friends, Roode told ESPN. I speak to him. We stayed in touch for years. You have a core group of people you keep in touch with throughout the business, guys you work with.Such was the impact of Styles entrance at the Royal Rumble that the emcee for that TNA fan event in London joked with those in attendance that the topic was off-limits.As Kurt Angle told me in an interview later that week: If there are people that didnt think the WWE fans knew who A.J. Styles was, then theyre crazy.Styles turned down a WWE developmental deal in 2002, with his wife in college and TNA offering him more money. He spent more than a decade in TNA, where he won the NWA world heavyweight championship three times and the TNA world heavyweight championship twice.In a measure of his ability and connection with the fans, Styles became the first TNA-contracted wrestler to be ranked No. 1 on Pro Wrestling Illustrateds annual PWI 500 list in 2010. When his contract expired in 2014, Styles signed with New Japan Pro Wrestling, and he won the IWGP heavyweight championship in his first match with the company and soon reached an entirely different echelon of popularity as the leader of The Bullet Club.You can always go to other places and become a star. A.J. is a prime example of that, Roode said. He went to Japan and become enormous over there, a world champion. He already had a huge fan base in America and Canada.As excited as Roode was when Styles signed with WWE, he knew better than to expect Styles signing to mean an open door for every former TNA star looking for a shot.I had that confidence in my own ability, but just because A.J. came here and had success didnt mean I would, he said. I was willing to come here, and I got the opportunity.It would be fair to assume Roode has plans to emulate his buddy Styles on the main WWE main roster, but for now, he is more than happy to carry the torch as one of the veterans among the Performance Center rookies at NXT.When I started here, I didnt really have prior plans. I just wanted to be part of WWE, to get the opportunity to show what I can do, he said. Whether I stay in NXT or go to the main roster, at this point, Im just getting my feet wet still. What happens down the road -- who knows?For now, Roode is incredibly excited to perform at a hometown venue that should be packed with the most die-hard of wrestling fans.Crazy things have happened since day one here, he said. I never wouldve been able to tell you, [but] here I am -- days from walking into the Air Canada Centre and performing where I grew up and watched as a fan.Even if this is as big as it gets and a main roster call-up eludes him, Roodes move to NXT can already be classified as a tremendous success, by any measure.Things are unpredictable in this business, but Im extremely happy to be part of NXT, Roode said. I think its the hottest brand under the WWE umbrella. Every show we do is phenomenal. I just love being a part of the locker room. Its incredible.

The equipment managers at Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa might have a look of confusion at training camp next week when they unload Braden Holtbys World Cup of Hockey goaltending gear and come across a bag with a fold-up acoustic guitar. Jeremy Lamb Jersey .Expected to challenge Carey Price for the No. 1 job for Team Canada, the Washington Capitals reigning Vezina Trophy winner has overcome disappointment and bouts of self-doubt to become one of the worlds top stoppers.More than anything, Holtby credits his mental preparation, which includes a game-day jam session on a portable guitar, for his meteoric rise to hockey stardom.I knew fairly early in junior that guys were going to be better than I was, Holtby said. I had to find a different area where I could push myself to the next level, and that was the mental game.Not everyone wants to put in that kind of work and not everyone wants to buy into it because its one of those things where youre kind of the weird guy when youre doing mental exercises. Youve got to get over that hump, and thats 90 percent of the reason Im here today.Holtby acknowledged that one of his greatest disappointments in hockey came as an 18-year-old when, despite being taken by the Capitals in the fourth round of the 2008 NHL draft, he was not one of the eight goalies invited to Team Canadas camp for the 2009 World Junior championships.Growing up, that was a huge goal of mine, to play on the World Junior team, Holtby said. It took me quite a while to get over that. Obviously, there was a little bitterness. It was one of those negatives I was able to turn into a positive. It was one of those points in your career where you can either use it as negative energy or put it toward proving people wrong.Holtby spent parts of four seasons with the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League, trapped behind Capitals goalies Semyon Varlamov, Michal Neuvirth and Tomas Vokoun, before bursting onto the NHL scene during the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs when he helped the Capitals upset the defending Stanley Cup-champion Boston Bruins in the first round.Holtby has been Washingtons No. 1 ever since and last season he tied Martin Brodeurs NHL single-season record with 48 victories, making him an overwhelming choice for the Vezina Trophy and giving him a leg up on Price when the World Cup begins on Sept. 17, one day after Holtbys 27th birthday.Im sure the coaches have a plan in place, said Holtby, a native of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan. For me, its a huge honor just to be named. You look at the roster and youre pretty amazed youll be able to play alongside those guys. It will be a lot of fun and it will be amazing to see the atmosphere in Toronto, being on home soil. It will be pretty cool.Whether hes strumming along to the folksy rock of Bob Dylan, the island sounds of Jack Johnson or the indie rock of The Black Keys -- He can play awesome, and hes actually got a really good voice too, said Capitals backup goaltender?Philipp Grubauer?-- Holtby reintroduced music to his busy game-day routine last season.When youre a young guy coming in, you dont really do those things, he said, noting he taught himself guitar as a teenager. You try to blend in as opposed to stand out.Holtby said his affection for music was passed down from his grandparents, who were musicians, and his mother, Tami, who was the lead singer of Canadian country band Tami Hunter and Walkin After Midnight in the late 1980s and early 1990s.It kind of calms me down and calms everyone else around me, Holtby said. Game days can be pretty stressful and if you liven things up a bit and make it fresh, its better than sitting there by yourself waiting for the game.For a typical 7 p.m. game, Holtby will begin his preparations at 5:30 with a quiet 10-minute meditation, followed by hand-eye exercises in which he tosses a rubber ball against a wall. When the clock strikes 6, Holtby finds a place in the arena, often behind the players bench or in the stands behind the net, rests his chin on his goalie stick, and begins darting his eyes throughout the arena.Hes looking for things to focus on, said Capitals goaltending guru Mitch Korn, who coached six-time Vezina Trophy winner Dominik Hasek when he played for the Buffalo Sabres. Pekka Rinne would do the same thing in Nashville, but hed sit in his locker stall and find the O in a nameplate, then find an A. Like another player warms up his body, Braden warms up his eyes.Holtbys unorthodox eye exercises take place just before the arena doors open to the public, but he said the arena crew at Madison Square Garden seems to have caught on.At MSG they play some weird music, Holtby said. I dont know if its from the Muppets or what, but I think they wait to test their stereo system until Im out there.Moments before the puck is dropped, Holtby will rock to the rhythm of the national anthem, spray water on his thick mane, kiss the names of his children on his mask, then buckle up for a 60-minute ride.When he allows a goal, Holtby will break into another routine. Leaning against his crossbar, hell squirt water into the air and follow each droplet as it descends in front of his face.It started as an eye trick, Holtby said of the post-goal routine he began in junior hockey under the direction of sports psychologist John Stevenson. Sometimes when youre feeling a little lost, your vision starts to shake a bit when youre trying to focus for too long on the puck.One of our tricks is to zone in on something really small and focus on that, and it kind of brings your eyesight back into focus. It reminds me to focus on the next shot.Korn, who has seen Holtby win more games in consecutive seasons (89) than any NHL goalie since Brodeur (92 wins in 2007 and 2008), said he was so concerned with Holtbys idiosyncrasies that it was one of the first discussions they had when Korn joined Barry Trotzs staff in Washington two summers ago.I asked him about the routine and whether it was too much and whether it wore him out, Korn said. His response was, I control my routine. My routine does not control me. It was the right answer and I never brought it up again.Holtby said that while he would like to lead Canada to a gold medal in the World Cup, his primary focus is preparing himself for the 2016-17 season, where the Capitals will try to build on last years 120-point season and finally reach the Eastern Conference finals.My main goal through all of his is to make sure Im prepared for the season, he said. Thats No. 1 and itll never change from No. 1. I get to spent a month practicing and playing with the best players in the world and if I can use that to my advantage to be a little sharper for the start of the season, that would be a good thing. Alonzo Mourning Jersey . -- San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks was fined $15,570 by the NFL on Wednesday for his hit on Saints quarterback Drew Brees last Sunday. Percy Miller Jersey . -- Eastern Kentucky thrives off creating havoc for others. http://www.officialhornetsonline.us/marco-belinelli-hornets-jersey/ .ca. Hey Kerry, big fan of yours, just finished reading your book. I think that we all saw the Canucks/Flames line brawl just after puck drop. It was obvious that something was about to happen, even to the referees because the fourth lines were on to start. PHOENIX -- The Diamondbacks understand what they are up against entering the second half of the season, and their comeback victory against San Francisco on Saturday was a step in the right direction.Welington Castillos three-run homer in the eighth inning put the finishing touches on a four-run comeback for an exhilarating 6-5 victory, snapping a six-game losing streak.As for something to build on as the teams prepare for the final game of a three-game homestand, time will tell.I hope so, said Arizona first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, who made a lunging stop with a runner on first base to preserve reliever Jake Barretts first major league victory and Brad Zieglers 17th save for the final out Saturday.Youd like to say yes, but who knows if you can. You show up tomorrow and it is zero-zero and it doesnt really matter that much. We need the win, just because we know how far back we are from San Fran and even in the wild card, so any win is going to be big. Hopefully the momentum carries over, but I know they are not going to be fazed by it.They are fine coming off losses, and it is not like if we would have lost we would have showed up and been hanging our heads tomorrow. Hopefully we can win the series.The D-backs (37-46) will send left-hander Robbie Ray against Giants right-hander Albert Suarez in the finale of the three-game series at Chase Field on Sunday.Arizonas victory Saturday was the first by the home team in the first 10 games of the season series. The Diamondbacks swept a four-game series at AT&T Park on April 18-21 before the Giants swept a four-gamer series at Chase Field on May 12-15. The Giants won the opener of this series Friday, coming back from two three-run deficits in a 5-4 victory. P.J. Hairston Jersey. That is one we let get away, San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said Saturday.Castillo has homered in two consecutive games and has hit four of his 10 homers against the Giants this season. He had seven in his first 21 games before going 28 games without one, connecting again June 17.Asked if his homers come in bunches, Castillo drew chuckles when he said, Thats what it looks like. Ive been feeling good lately. I know I went through a tough moment. I dont worry about my hitting. I know I can hit a little bit. Just time, and its going to come.Arizona third baseman Jake Lamb had two hits and a walk Saturday and is close to becoming the fourth player (five occurrences) in franchise history to have 20 doubles and 20 homers before the All-Star break. Lamb hit his 19th double Saturday and has 18 homers after hitting one in each of the three previous games. Only Paul Goldschmidt (twice), Matt Williams and Jay Bell have done it.Ray (4-7) threw six shutout innings for his first victory of the season at San Francisco on April 19, and he is 1-0 with a 1.64 ERA in two career starts against the Giants. He averages 10.42 strikeouts per nine innings, seventh highest among NL starters and third highest among left-handers.Suarez (3-1) will make his sixth start Sunday and also has made six relief appearances. He took Matt Cains spot in the starting rotation when Cain went out with a right hamstring strain. He has a 4.39 ERA in five starts and will gave the Diamondbacks for the first time.

TOKYO -- Aliaksandra Sasnovich produced the biggest upset of the Pan Pacific Open on Thursday, ousting third-seeded Karolina Pliskova in straight sets to advance to the quarterfinals. Michael Carrick Manchester Jersey .Sasnovich, of Belarus, beat the U.S. Open finalist 6-4, 6-2 for her first win over a top-10 player. She will face local favorite Naomi Osaka in the next round.I was expecting now to be going to Wuhan for the next tournament because I know Karolina is a really good player and I didnt expect to win today, Sasnovich said. But, you know, its life and its tennis. The ball is round.Top-seeded Garbine Muguruza also advanced with a comfortable 6-3, 6-3 win over Anastasija Sevastova.Muguruza, who lost to Sevastova in the second round of the U.S. Open, broke her opponent five times to set up a quarterfinal with Elina Svitolina. She beat eighth-seeded Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 7-6 (5), 6-4.Maybe there was a little bit of pressure, Muguruza said. But Im so happy that I came back as top seed, because it means that Im improving and hopefully I can be in the final.Also, Magda Linette saved two match points to defeat Yulia Putintseva 4-6, 6-3, 7-5. Eric Bailly Manchester Jersey . The 27-year-old Scrivens will be joining his third NHL club since signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs as a free agent in 2010. The move also reunites with him with head coach Dallas Eakins from their time together with the American Hockey Leagues Toronto Marlies. Paddy McNair Manchester Jersey .

The nimble-footed quarterback got his wish, dashing through the snow and a weary defence all the way into the NCAA record book. MILWAUKEE -- Jonathan Villar is struggling -- badly -- but Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell isnt worried.One the more pleasant surprises on Milwaukees roster this season, Villar entrenched himself in the leadoff spot early on in 2016 and kept on hitting, carrying a .297 average into the final month of the season. But in his last 16 games, Villar has gone 5-for-52 at the plate.What Jonathan -- and a couple of guys -- are going through is just the grind of a major league season, Counsell said. From my perspective, they need to go through it because its whats going to happen next year and the years after that.You need to go through it, you need to experience some of this stuff for the first time. You cant take it away from guys, they have to experience it for the first time.Villar went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout on Saturday but also stole his 59th base, moving past injured Cincinnati outfielder Billy Hamilton for the National League lead.I want him to experience some of this a little bit, Counsell said. Not the feeling of failure, but to know that this is what September feels like. Its important and its going to help him next year as he goes through the course of a season. Thats kind of how Im thinking about it.Youre not going to put guys out there who are completely washed out, but I do think that this is part of a 162-game season and when we get to a point when these last 10 games are determining a playoff spot, you want guys who have been through this a bit.Villar will try to dig out of his funk Sunday against Cincinnati right-hander Brandon Finnegan as the BBrewers and Reds wrap up their season series with a matinee at Miller Park. Wayne Rooney Jersey. t will be the final start of the season for Finnegan, who has thrown 167 innings this season in 31 starts for the Reds. Hed like to finish on a high note, especially after lasting only 2 1/3 innings his last time out.That was supposed to be Finnegans final outing, but with the Reds short on starting pitching, even with expanded September rosters, manager Bryan Price opted to give Finnegan one more start.Im not going to be sitting around for two weeks, thats the good thing about it, said Finnegan, who is 9-11 with a 4.30 ERA this season. If I was doing that, I probably would just sit around and get fat. Its just the truth.Price had considered using Homer Bailey, who hasnt pitched since experiencing arm soreness during an Aug. 28 start, but opted against it for the time being.Im just not ready to commit that hes in the rotation. Thats all, Price said. We havent gotten to that point yet where we have universal confirmation that thats the way we want to go.Wily Peralta gets the ball for Milwaukee, his seventh start since returning from a two-month demotion in the minor leagues. Peralta was 4-7 with a 6.68 ERA when he was optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs on June 11, but since returning to Milwaukee on Aug. 9, he has gone 3-3 with a 3.26 ERA in eight starts.Peralta has faced the Reds 13 times in his career and twice already this season, going 1-1 with a 3.00 ERA.

Our story does not begin with the trade this past weekend that sent Sam Bradford from the Philadelphia Eagles to the Minnesota Vikings. Jordan Adams Jersey . Nor does it begin last Tuesday, when Teddy Bridgewater tore up his knee in practice and broke the hearts of a fan base anticipating its first playoff victory since Brett Favre was in town. Our story actually begins in mid-July, when the Football Outsiders staff was hard at work cranking out our annual almanac.As I was writing the Vikings chapter, I was struck by Shaun Hills career passing numbers, which were surprisingly good for a guy who has never started more than 10 games in a season. I knew his rate stats would be better than those of some starting quarterbacks, and I went looking for a starter with similar figures. The result of that search was the following table, which originally ran in Football Outsiders Almanac on Aug. 1:The salary figures include the money Hill earned while on NFL practice squads, but not his lucrative stint with the Amsterdam Admirals. Most of the other numbers are self-explanatory with the exception of DVOA, Football Outsiders exclusive metric that analyzes every play of the season and accounts not only for yardage, but also for first downs, field position, scoring margin, quality of opponent and many other factors. (More information is available here.) Regardless, all the data points to the same conclusion: When given the opportunity to play, Hills performance has closely matched that of Bradfords, and in some measurements exceeded it.Fast-forward five weeks, and Bradford and Hill are now teammates, and what had seemed like a fairly random comparison in July suddenly seems a lot more relevant -- and now warrants further exploration. Is it really fair to say that Shaun Hill has been a better NFL quarterback than Sam Bradford? Shareef Abdur-Rahim Grizzlies Jersey .C. -- Al Jefferson joked that he feels he can score from anywhere on the court. Bryant Reeves Jersey . Barcelona also left injured defenders Carles Puyol, Javier Mascherano and Jordi Alba out of its squad for the trip to Glasgow. That means that Marc Bartra will probably start again in the centre of the defence alongside Gerard Pique. http://www.thegrizzliesofficial.com/Authentic-Mike-Bibby-Grizzlies-Jersey/ . Datsyuk will miss Tuesdays game against New Jersey and could be sidelined longer, while Cleary will likely miss at least the next three games. Its been an injury-plagued season for Datsyuk, who has suited up for just 39 games.BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Based on the three strikeouts he posted in his one inning of work, its understandable why Sergio Santos feels hes ready to return to the Toronto Blue Jays. Santos, pitching for the Buffalo Bisons, fanned three of the four batters he faced, shutting out the Toledo Mud Hens in the seventh inning of a 4-2 loss. On the disabled list since April 15 with a right triceps strain, Santos allowed a one-out single in the first triple-A game of his rehab assignment. He threw 12 of his 20 pitches for strikes. Prior to joining Buffalo, Santos appeared in five games with single-A Dunedin and allowed four hits and two walks with two strikeouts over 4 2/3 innings. "I felt good. It was definitely a little different atmosphere than I was used to in Dunedin," Santos said. "I had a little more adrenaline going, facing better hitters. It was a better task for me and I was able to get a better gauge of where Im at." After a little prodding, Santos admitted he felt ready to make the short jaunt along the Queen Elizabeth Way to Toronto. "It was a good days work," Santos said. "If it was up to me, Id like to be back as soon as possible." Buffalo manager Marty Brown differed slightly, indicating Santos needs more seasoning. "He definitely needs another outing or two," Brown said. "Just to see where hes at. He was a little amped up tonight." Brown added: "He threw the ball well, but threw too many pitches. I liked what I saw, but hes not where he needs to be with his slider." Santos felt that the hit he allowed provided a benefit, forcing him into a situation with a runner on base. Marc Gasol Jersey. "Thats what I need to work on," he said. "It feels so foreign sometimes when theres runners on base and theres stuff happening. It kind of felt more game-like, in situations I would face during the season. It was good to have that kind of pressure and not let any runs come across." Outfielder Melky Cabrera also joined the Bisons (49-48) to continue his rehab work, but did not play. He was placed on Torontos disabled list on June 27 with left knee tendinitis and has played two games with Dunedin and three with double-A New Hampshire, batting .294 (5-of-17) in five games. Cabrera is expected to make his Buffalo debut on Friday. Thad Weber (3-4), who made four appearances with Toronto in May and June, started for Buffalo and battled through five innings. He matched his season-high with four runs allowed on six hits and a season-high four walks. Weber entered the game with five quality starts in his last six appearances and had last worked fewer than six innings on June 4. Buffalo, in its first game since the all-star break, was held to seven hits, including a two-out triple by Kevin Pillar in the first inning. Pillar has been a revelation at triple-A, batting .347 with hits in 20-of-25 games with the Bisons. Munenori Kawasaki, optioned to Buffalo last Saturday when Brett Lawrie made his Toronto return, was 1-of-3 with an infield single and a walk. Both of the Bisons representatives in the triple-A all-star game, held Wednesday in Reno, played against Toledo. Jim Negrych and Mauro Gomez each went 1-of-3 and scored runs.

Sporting a predominantly grey hue across what seems to be a nubuck-based upper and leather overlays along the forefoot, the monochromatic makeup is complemented with hints of navy blue and yellow gracing the rear, insoles and outsole unit. The colorway also suggests to be a nod to Jordan Brand's newest partnership with the University of Michigan.

New Air Jordan Shoes, The monochromatic Air Jordan 12 has become the ultimate luxury sneaker these days but copping a pair of PSNY collabs isn't exactly that easy.

The leather mudguard and microperf suede build give it the majority of it's texture while the outsole jumps in to add a bit more. A spot of color comes by way of the heel tab with armory navy and yellow accents falling in place on the branding. Mashing a Grey, University Blue and White color theme up which if a first time the Brand will release them. On the uppers towards the heel is grey and as it transcends towards the tongue, it slowly gradients to almost white. University blue is placed on the Jumpman logos located on the tongue and sole, while white covers the overlay and outsole.
