MILAN -- The race to become Serie As top scorer this season is up and running, with Gonzalo Higuain favorite to retain his title. Chris Tierney Sharks Jersey.Higuain scored 36 goals last campaign for Napoli to break a 66-year-old Serie A record and could even surpass that mark after his 90 million euro ($99 million) transfer to Juventus.Higuain netted twice in Juventus 3-0 win at Empoli on Sunday to take his tally to six for the season, after seven rounds. Serie A leader Juventus moved four points clear of Napoli, which fell to a surprise 1-0 defeat at Atalanta.Argentina forward Higuain scored his first in the 67th minute with a powerful shot from outside the area, and doubled his tally three minutes later following a mistake from Empoli defender Marco Zambelli.Weve only been together for 40 days, what with the various international breaks, Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri said. Winning matches is the only thing that matters.Higuain scored two goals and had a few other shots. We dont know him yet. Who is more decisive between him and (Zlatan) Ibrahimovic? Ill tell you at the end of the season.Paulo Dybala, who had scored in Tuesdays 4-0 win at Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League, broke the deadlock in the 65th for his first league goal of the season.I needed to score this goal in the league, Dybala said. I really needed it, after the goal in Zagreb my drought is over.Dybala finished a distant second in the scoring charts last season, with 19 goals.AC Milan forward Carlos Bacca and Inter Milans Mauro Icardi are also on six goals.Heres what else happened in Serie A:---ATALANTA 1, NAPOLI 0The match in Bergamo was supposed to be about Napoli forwards Jose Callejon and Arkadiusz Milik, instead it was Atalantas Andrea Petagna who grabbed the headlines. Previously the only side unbeaten in the league, Napoli lost for the first time this season in all formats.The 21-year-old Petagna capitalized on defensive errors in the ninth minute as Papu Gomezs cross sailed over Kalidou Koulibaly. It ricocheted off Faouzi Ghoulams face for Petagna to fire home.It was his third goal from as many shots on target this season.Atalanta could have doubled its lead as Boukary Drames effort crashed off the crossbar.---AC MILAN 4, SASSUOLO 3AC Milan fought back from 3-1 down to 4-3 up in the space of nine minutes in a frantic second half at San Siro.Former Milan defender Francesco Acerbi and Lorenzo Pellegrini had put Sassuolo seemingly firmly in control with two goals in as many minutes shortly after the interval, after the first half had finished 1-1.But Bacca reduced the deficit with a penalty and Manuel Locatelli equalized with a stunning long-range strike for his first Serie A goal. Gabriel Paletta headed in what was to prove the winner.After scoring, Locatelli was in tears as he raced toward where his family were sitting. The 18-year-old broke down again after the match, as he dedicated the goal to his parents and siblings.This is for all those who love me and believed in me, said Locatelli, who recently signed a contract extension until 2020. I cant believe it, its something that all kids hope for in their life.Milan coach Vincenzo Montella was sent off at halftime for dissent. His side moved level on points with third-placed Lazio and Chievo Verona, five behind Juventus.---ROMA 2, INTER MILAN 1Roma moved to 13 points, leapfrogging Inter after a thrilling end-to-end match in the Italian capital.There were 22 shots on goal in the first half alone, although only Edin Dzeko got on the scoresheet, firing Roma in front in the fifth minute.Both sides also hit the woodwork before Ever Banega levelled in the 72nd.However, Roma was back in front just four minutes later when Kostas Manolas header from a free kick went in after a deflection by Icardi.---OTHER MATCHESGiovanni Simeone scored his second goal in as many matches to help Genoa win 1-0 at Bologna, in a game which saw three players sent off.The 21-year-old Simeone is the son of current Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone, who scored more than 30 goals in Italy.Crotone, which is in its first ever season in Serie A, looks increasingly likely to go straight back down after its sixth defeat in seven matches, losing 2-1 at Cagliari.Elsewhere, Bruno Fernandes scored with the last kick of the match to snatch a 1-1 draw for Sampdoria at home to 10-man Palermo, while Fiorentina lost 2-1 at Torino.

The injury bothered Bledsoe in the Suns victory over the Clippers on Monday and he sat out the teams home loss to Memphis on Thursday night. KINGSTON, R.I. -- Rhode Island coach Dan Hurley felt the key to defeating Belmont was to limit the Bruins proficiency from beyond the 3-point arc.The 23rd-ranked Rams held the Bruins to 18.5 percent shooting (5 of 27) from 3-point range and posted an 82-73 victory Friday night.The plan tonight was to keep them to five 3s or less and keep them under 25 percent, Hurley said. We felt like they wouldnt be able to score enough 2s to beat us if we just eliminated that 3-point line.We were willing to give up some things around the basket because theyre such a lethal, 3-point shooting team. We were willing to trade 2s with them and felt the only way we could lose was if they made 3.Hassan Martin paced the Rams (5-1) with a career-high 31 points while Jarvis Garrett added a season-high 23. Garrett also matched his career-high for 3-pointers with four.Martin shot a blistering 70 percent (14 of 20) from the field.Hassan was a monster, Hurley said.The Bruins (1-3), who played without leading scorer Evan Bradds (concussion), didnt have an answer for Martin.My main thing was to take advantage of their size, Martin said. I was looking forward to the matchup with Bradds. But once I got myself going I just didnt stop.Im surrounded by scorers which gives me space to operate. Im comfortable with my back to the basket.Nick Smith led Belmont with 17 points while Dylan Windler contributed a double-double with 16 points and 14 rebounds.Rhode Island led by as many as 20 points early in the second half before Windler led a rally that pulled the Bruins within 58-52.Martin blunted that rally by scoring eight points during an 11-5 run.If youre not in a Power 5 conference these are the type of nonconference games you have to play, Hurley said. You have to take risks. You have to play games against people that have the potential to make the (NCAA) Tournament.BIG PICTUREBelmont: The Bruins have won more than 20 games and earned a postseason tournament berth in 10 of the last 11 years. They began the season as one of only seven non-Power 5 programs to earn national Top 25 poll votes and post a Top 100 RPI in each of the last six seasons.Rhode Island: After splitting two games against ranked teams (including then-No. Brent Burns Jersey. 1 Duke) in the Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament, the Thanksgiving Day break was a welcome respite for the Rams who had played five games in 10 days. No Ram needed the break more than E.C. Matthews, who underwent surgery early last season to repair a torn ACL and played on consecutive days for the first time in 20 months in the Tip-Off Tournament.POLL IMPLICATIONS: By defeating a quality, mid-major school, Rhode Island ensured it should remain in the Top 25 for a fifth consecutive week.STAT OF THE NIGHT: Belmont stepped on the Ryan Center court shooting 44.2 percent (80 of 181) from beyond the 3-point arc. But Rhode Islands man-to-man defense held the Bruins to 18.5 percent (5 of 27) from 3-point range.HIGHLIGHT REEL: Martin flashed his athletic ability early in the first half when he flipped the ball over his head, off the glass and in the basket.STAR WATCH: Smith had the thankless task of making his first start in place of Bradds, who was sidelined with a concussion. Smith scored 17 points, one shy of his career high, and shot 50 percent from the field (5 of 10).TURNING POINT: The Bruins had reduced what was a 20-point deficit to 58-52 with 12:04 remaining. Martin then took control of the game and scored eight points that keyed an 11-5 Rhode Island run for a 69-57 lead. Seven points was the closest Belmont would get after that run.LETDOWN: Matthews began play as Rhode Islands leading scorer (17.4, but he experienced a rare off night by scoring six points.UP NEXT:The Bruins, who host Lipscomb on Nov. 29, still have seven nonconference games on their schedule before they play their first Ohio Valley Conference game Dec. 31 against Austin Peay. How they fare in this portion of their schedule may serve as an indication of their chances of winning the conference title.The Rams, who are ranked for a fourth consecutive week for only the third time since the AP poll was instituted in 1949, face three severe tests when they play road games at Valparaiso and in-state rival Providence before returning home Dec. 6 against Old Dominion.

For the first time, the NFL began selling Super Bowl tickets on the open market on Wednesday. Louis Lipps Womens Jersey .Prices for the tickets, which include a pregame party and early access to Houstons NRG Stadium, the site of Super Bowl LI, or similar parties within the stadium security perimeter,?start at $5,599 and run up to $14,449 for the best seat.The most expensive package includes a pass to be on the field when the game ends.The tickets are being sold on a website run by Ticketmaster and On Location Experiences, the NFLs official hospitality partner, of which the leagues investment arm owns a stake.NFL On Location through the NFL has been allotted 9,500 tickets for Super Bowl LI, which includes the tickets that are given to the participating teams.While the ticket prices come at a huge premium compared to secondary market sites like StubHub, the tickets that went on sale Wednesday are to exact seats. Sites like StubHub only promise zones of the stadium.The cost of the tickets that are being put on sale can rise and fall as the game nears, depending on demand.The idea to create a marketplace like this was born out of the short-selling fiasco from Super Bowl XLIX. Many ticket brokers sold tickets ahead of time on speculation, selling a seat they didnt have with the goal of filling it for the buyer closer to the game as the price dropped. But the price didnt drop and those brokers were forced to either buy last-minute tickets for two to three times what they sold them for to the fan, or tell the fan they couldnt fill their orders. As a result, hundreds of people arrived in Phoenix to find that the tickets that they had bought would not be delivered.The question with the NFLs new business is whether fans will pay the extra premium to be assured of an exact ticket. The cheapest ticket on StubHub is around $3,300, more than $2,000 cheaper than the cheapest NFL On Location ticket. Its only a zone that is guaranteed on StubHub, but StubHub does guarantee, as it did in 2015 when the market crashed, that a ticket bought will be a ticket filled. PrimeSport, which is partly owned by Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, also guarantees seats.What the market does create is something the NFL can be more comfortable with. If certain Super Bowl ticket markets do fall through, the league could point to the fact that it now offers a legitimate alternative that assures fraud will not take place.

She coasted into the US Open quarterfinals with her most impressive performance of the tournament. She surpassed Roger Federer with an all-time record 308th Grand Slam match victory.Even the weather was unexpectedly glorious as she took the Ashe Stadium court.If only the groans hadnt just died down from big sister Venus loss in a dramatic third-set tiebreaker, eliminating any chance of an all-Williams semifinal, Labor Day would have been exactly as drawn up.Instead, Serena would settle for steady progress, another career milestone and a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Yaroslava Shvedova.I just feel like Im going out there doing what I need to do, Serena said. Im not overplaying, Im not underplaying. Im just trying to play my way into this tournament.Of course, few players but Williams can call a 68-minute, straight-set win in which she never faced a break point, had 11 aces, a 93 percent first-serve percentage and ripped 28 winners to Shvedovas 11, playing your way in.Williams also had the fastest serve of the tournament at 126 mph, another apparent sign that her right shoulder is pretty stable, and said afterward that she couldnt believe how consistently she served.I dont think I really served in the summer until I got here to New York, she said. It was a really tough summer for me. Maybe thats the key.However she got here, she is still looking ahead to Grand Slam title No. 23, which would be a new Open-era record, while now looking bacck at Federers all-time major match victory mark. Kevin Greene Womens Jersey. ts a huge number, Williams said after some prodding. I think its very significant actually. I think its something that just really talks about the length of my career, in particular. Ive been playing for a really long time but also, given that consistency up there, thats something Im really proud of.As she approaches her 35th birthday later this month, she admits that she even amazes herself.I definitely never thought I would be playing still, she said. Now, I dont see when Im going to stop because Im just enjoying these moments out here, getting to break records that I didnt even know existed or I didnt know was possible.As she readies for a quarterfinal berth against No. 5 Simona Halep, her first seeded opponent in the tournament, Williams said she fully expects to get Haleps best.I just think with everyone I play, they play a step up and above their ranking, she said. To me, it doesnt really matter who I play because I have to expect theyre going to play the match of their life. Thats how I go into these matches now.The bad news for Halep, who has lost seven of eight meetings with Williams, is that Serenas comment the other day that I dont feel like Im Serena out there yet took on a more hopeful tone after Monday.Shes coming, Williams promised. She hasnt quite come out yet, though.Almost perfect.

LOS ANGELES -- Trumaine Johnson, the?Los Angeles Rams primary cornerback, injured his right ankle late in Sundays 30-19 loss to the Buffalo Bills, a potentially devastating blow to a defense that is already dealing with a sudden rash of injuries. Michael Crabtree Jersey .Johnson was in a protective boot and on crutches following the game, but Rams coach Jeff Fisher did not provide an update on his condition.I dont know, Fisher said. Well have more information for you tomorrow.Johnson hurt himself midway through the fourth quarter while scrambling to defend a 3-yard run by Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor. The fifth-year cornerback was unable to put weight on his right leg and was carted to the locker room shortly after being carried to the sidelines.The Rams released cornerback Coty Sensabaugh on Saturday largely to promote defensive end Morgan Fox from the practice squad because three starting defensive linemen -- Robert Quinn,?Will Hayes?and Michael Brockers -- were unable to play.After Johnson, the Rams corners are E.J. Gaines, who spent all of last season recovering from foot surgery and missed the first three weeks with a thigh injury; Lamarcus Joyner, whos playing through a broken toe; and Troy Hill, an undrafted free agent in 2015.Johnson, filling the primary role vacated by Janoris Jenkins, was coming off a brilliant showing against the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday, a game that saw him make an interception and almost record two others.Now he may miss time.Thats one of our best players over there, Gaines said. Hopefully he can get right for next weekend. Michael Crabtree Womens Jersey. 1, meaning problems for the doping controls at both major international sports events next year.

The Redskins announced Monday that the quarterback who led the team to the Super Bowl championship in the 1987 season will serve as a personnel executive. ATLANTA -- Just for fun, Paul Johnson offered a reminder of his glistening coaching record at Georgia Southern.Then he quickly added But thats all history now.Johnsons time at Georgia Southern, including back-to-back I-AA national championships, looks better than ever these days as he tries to end his Georgia Tech teams sudden two-year slump.Georgia Tech (3-3) will try to end a three-game losing streak when its takes a break from its Atlantic Coast Conference schedule to play Georgia Southern (3-2) on Saturday.Since the start of last season, the Yellow Jackets are 6-12 overall and a distressing 2-10 in ACC games. Last weeks last-second 37-34 loss at Pittsburgh , dropped Georgia Tech to 1/3 in the conference this season.Johnson has offered reminders that the Yellow Jackets first two losses came to Top 25 teams Clemson and Miami and there is still time to salvage a winning season. Even so, the visit from Georgia Southern prompted memories of his time with the Eagles as an assistant under Erk Russell and coach when losing streaks were extremely rare.Ive got really fond memories of the place, Johnson said Tuesday of Georgia Southern. When I was there we were very successful. I was looking at it today, I think my last two years there as offensive coordinator and the five years as coach we were 26-4 and 62-10, so we won a lot of games.Johnson was Georgia Southerns coach from 1997-2001. The Eagles won five straight Southern Conference championships and won national titles in 1999 and 2000.The Eagles have lost two straight games under first-year coach Tyson Summers, including a last-second loss to Arkansas State last week.---Here are some things to know about Georgia Southerns visit to Georgia Tech:POSSIBLE MILESTONE: A win over Georgia Tech would be a highhlight for the Eagles, who began their transition to the Sun Belt and FBS in 2013 and beat Bowling Green in the GoDaddy Bowl last year. Dave Casper Raiders Jersey. Following the bowl win, coach Willie Fritz left Georgia Southern to take over the Tulane program. A win obviously versus a Power 5 team and probably more importantly a team thats in our state is an important piece, Summers said. If we can find a way to win this one and be 4-2, itll be a step to getting us back on track.PEACHY TRIO: This will be the second of three games against state rivals for Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets beat Mercer 35-10 on Sept. 10 and close their regular season at Georgia on Nov. 26.MATTHEW TIME: The Eagles had an extra three days since their loss to Arkansas State on Oct. 5, but Hurricane Matthew interrupted plans for extra practice for Georgia Tech. We were trying to take care of our families and our community, Summers said. We tried to have a little bit more time with our staff but really havent been able to do it with our players like you would think.BIG SCARE: Georgia Tech survived a late scare to beat Georgia Southern 42-38 in 2014. The Eagles rallied from a 35-10 deficit to lead 38-35. I think we kind of felt like it was over at halftime, and to their credit they came back with guns blazing, Johnson said. Weve got to be ready to play one of our better games. The two option offenses combined for 1,064 yards in the 2014 game.GEORGIA SOUTHERN COACHING CONNECTION II: Georgia Tech offensive line coach Mike Sewak was Georgia Southerns coach from 2002-05.

LONDON -- Milos Raonics serves flew like the fluorescent green pellets in one of those video games Andy Murray once played for hours on end. Deliveries upwards of 140 mph headed like lasers into his body.Raonic was bringing it, just as he had in a semifinal upset of Roger Federer. But all that firepower was proving insufficient. This was going to be Murrays day.It was also his great chance to win Wimbledon for himself, not for an entire (United) Kingdom hungering for its first male champion in 75 years, like in 2013.He wasnt going to let this one go, no way, no how.He wasnt going to let Raonic serve him off the court. He wouldnt bend to the unique pressure he finally commanded as the favorite to win Wimbledon or quake in the face of the renewed expectations of his passionate, partisan countrymen.Murrays resolve was well-founded and hard-earned. And it helped him play a superb match to overpower a first-time Grand Slam finalist in Raonic in a 2-hour, 48-minute 6-4, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2) win.It is different, Murray, the No. 2 seed, said. I feel happier, more content. You know, I feel like this was sort of more for myself and my team as well.Last time, it was just pure relief. It was such a big thing for a British man to win Wimbledon. Its something you start to think about and put more and more pressure on yourself to do. I didnt really enjoy the moment as much, whereas Im going to make sure I enjoy this one more than the others.Having lost all of those finals to?Novak Djokovic?and Federer prepared Murray for his role as the favorite. He took command of this?match from the start and never loosened his grip. Raonic, one of the two or three most feared servers in the game, managed to whack just eight aces (one more than Murray). He was under constant pressure to hold serve.I think I returned pretty good today for the most part, Murray said. I made quite a lot of returns, second serve returns as well and just tried to build pressure that way.But this was no ordinary day in which Murray relied solely on his superb defense to eke out a win. His offense was no less impressive; he lost just nine points on his first serve and passed with deadly precision. Raonic reached a break point just once in the match, and that was in the third set, when he was already in a deep hole.Raonic acknowledged Murray was all business. Nothing cute. Nothing that couuld backfire and stoke Raonics confidence.Brandon Saad Blue Jackets Jersey Authentic. Every single time he had forehands in the middle of the court, he was really trying to hit them, not giving me two looks at a point, Raonic said. I think thats what he did really well.Murrays great advantage in experience paid off handsomely in the late stages of the second and third sets. Raonic, 25, had won 63 percent of his tiebreakers going into Wimbledon.But when the pressure built to nearly intolerable levels in those stages, the release valve blew. Raonic made mistakes and poor choices. Murray won both tiebreakers handily.Knowing how maybe [Raonic] would have felt at those moments, being in his first Grand Slam final, I do think that helped me a little bit during the match, Murray admitted. In those tight situations, maybe I dealt with things a little better because of my experience.Murray is 29 and playing the best tennis of his life. He has been to five successive finals for the first time in his career. He has won a major and an ATP 1000 (Rome). This win was deeply satisfying in ways that none of his previous conquests have been -- much of it a result of his 5-month-old daughter.This time, Murray was not going to celebrate the simplest way.I want to spend this time with my family and my closest friends, Murray said. Thats who I want to be around right now.Then Murray will return to work, keeping up his reputation as one of the most diligent ATP pros. He now has won three majors in 11 tries. He said he would love to have won more but reminded everyone that the men he has spent most of his career battling are accorded, by some, to be perhaps the three greatest male players of all time.Murray will seek ways to find more wins against them, which may not be as formidable a task as it was two or three years ago, when Rafael Nadal and Federer were younger and healthier. Murray knows its been rare to get through a Slam without playing any of his three main rivals. But that might be changing, which would be to his advantage.I still feel like my best tennis is ahead of me, that I have an opportunity to win more, Murray said. Everyones time comes at different stages. For some, it comes in their early 20s, some mid-20s. Hopefully mine is still to come.

Formula One is on the verge of a multi-billion dollar takeover by John Malones Liberty Group, with a two-stage $8. Tommy McDonald Womens Jersey .5 billion deal expected to get underway on Tuesday.While Liberty and Malone have been linked with the purchase of an F1 stake -- controlling or otherwise -- since February 2014, on-going talks have reached a satisfactory conclusion, according to F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone.Speaking to reporters in the Monza paddock, the 85-year-old F1 czar was confident that the sports new owners would not affect his own position. I will do what I have always done, Auto Motor und Sport quoted Ecclestone as saying. What role I play is my decision.In the immediate future, there is no reason to expect much change in direction for F1. But the paddock rumour mill suggests that any guarantees of Ecclestones position remain in place for only the first tranche of the $8.5 billion handover; once the deal has been completed in full it is entirely possible that the man who turned Formula One into a billion-dollar business will find himself in a role more sinecure than senior.So what does the future hold for Formula One under its new owners?First and foremost, expect to see better marketing of F1 in the United States, home to Malones businesses and fortune. As the owner of a multimedia group that includes cable services provision, internet access, and direct-to-consumer sales, Malone is in a unique position when it comes to exploiting his existing businesses to maximise the value of his latest investment.And America is not the only market in which Malones companies hold sway: Liberty Media may be headquartered in Colorado, but through sister company Liberty Global and a 29 per cent stake in Discovery Communications, Malone is also a key media influencer on an international level.Historically, Malones purchases have increased in value after his acquisitions; the American businessman has targeted businesses with unrealised potential and added value before off-loading his stake for a profit. But Malone is no short-term operator: in the early 1990s he spotted the opportunities in digital cable services, and over the course of the following decade his businesses expanded into content creation as well as service delivery.While any $8.5 billion deal has to be seen as something of a gamble given the sums involved -- not forgetting that F1 has no guaranteed longevity beyond the 2020 expiry of the current round of Memoranda of Understanding that replaced the Concorde Agreement -- Malone would not be on the verge of doing the F1 deal had he not spotted opportunities for growth and profit within the sport.Perhaps the most obvious area for expansion is that of general marketing and promotion. The Formula One Group lacks a centralised marketing department, and the bulk of event promotion is done by individual host circuits as they attempt to drum up ticket sales in an attempt to claw back the cost of hosting a race.There is no centralised cohesive effort to ensure that Formula One remains in the public imagination long after the F1 circus has left town, and little is done to create public anticipation in the run-up. Where such promotional events do take place, it is largely at the behest of individual teams and sponsors: Shell held a Sebastian Vettel fan event before the German Grand Prix in Hockenheim, while Petronas traditionally make the Mercedes drivers sing for their suppers at the twin towers in downtown Kuala Lumpur.If F1s new stakeholders want to get a return on their investment, they have to make the sport more profitable. The most obvious way to do so is to increase the size of the sports fanbase, both those watching at home and those attending grands prix in person.Bringing the sport back to terrestrial television is one way to improve the home audience, but as Malone is a man who made his millions off the back of the subscription TV explosion, it is unlikely that we will see the sport back on free-to-air channels at his behest. Instead it is in his interests to improve the general promotion of the sport so that those not currently interested in Formula One choose to pay their hard-earned cash to check it out, either in person or by subscribing to a service that airs it (preferably one owned by Malone, naturally).In America there is a fine tradition of selling both sport and show as separate entities. Millions of people with little-to-no interest in American football will tune into the Super Bowl for the infamous half-time show. Even high school sports use the lure of cheerleaders to entice the uninterested into the bleachers.This year the Circuit of the Americas provided a perfect example of using the show to boost the sport: COTA secured Taylor Swifts only concert of the year for their Saturday night post-qualifying entertainment, meaning that any tween within reach of Texas who wants to see her play live will need to fork out for a three-day race ticket whether or not they know what F1 is. It may not lead to packed grandstands once the tweens have left on Sunday, but the strong ticket sales have provided a boost to COTAs hopes of a long-term future.Expect to see similar -- and centralised -- efforts to promote the sport when Liberty Media take over. Drivers will be expected to do their part to drum up interest, with high-profile TV appearances in target markets, showcar stunts straight out of the Red Bull Guide to Self-Promotion, and a calendar designed in such a way that it becomes physically and geographically possible to use the sports stars to sell the spectacle.

Nelson Agholor Jersey. Hed be more than ready to go.Thats a change from what Arians said after Sundays game, when he said Palmer probably would not play Thursday if he couldnt practice this week.From what I thought yesterday, I thought there was no chance, Arians said.Palmer was scheduled to go through the physical activity portion of the return-to-participation process on Monday, Arians said.Nothing surprises me with these guys getting healthy anymore, Arians said.Arians said he talked to Palmer and Palmers wife, Shaelyn, on Sunday night, after the quarterback was knocked out of Arizonas 17-13 loss late in the fourth quarter with a concussion.He sounded good, Arians said. I talked more to Shae, his wife, and he sounded fine. He said, Im OK, dont worry about it. And thats about it.ESPNs Adam Schefter contributed to this report.?

Team GBs Johanna Konta continued her superb Olympic debut by beating No. Jack Butler Womens Jersey . 8 seed Svetlana Kuznetsova 3-6, 7-5, 7-5 to reach the quarterfinals in the womens singles.There is little time rest time for Konta who is back in action on Wednesday, competing in the mixed doubles with compatriot and world No. 6 doubles player Jamie Murray.The pair will battle it out in the first round with American duo Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Jack Sock.No. 10 seed Konta eased through her opening two matches in the womens singles but the victory over Kuznetsova was a real step up for the Brit.She made too many errors in the first set and only held serve once but then recovered from 2-0 down to take a high-quality second.Two-time grand slam champion Kuznetsova struck first in the decider with a break for 3-2 but Konta reeled off three games in a row to move to the brink of victory.She could not serve it out, though, and then looked in major trouble at 5-5, 0-40 only to save all of the break points, taking her tally for the match to 12 out of 19 saved.That left Kuznetsova serving to stay in the match and she was unable to do so, saving three match points but not a fourth as Konta claimed the win after three hours and eight minutes.The victory continues a remarkable year for the Eastbourne resident, who won her first WTA Tour title last month and is on the verge of a place in the top 10.In the last eight of the womens singles, the 25-year-old will play either second seed Angelique Kerber or Australias Sam Stosur.Press Association Sport contributed to this report.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. Kerry Hyder Lions Jersey . -- Rudy Gay and the Sacramento Kings were glad to benefit from a rare bit of good fortune.Gay had 23 points and nine rebounds, and the Kings beat Toronto 102-99 on Sunday night after waiting out a video review to see if the Raptors had forced overtime on Terrence Ross 3-pointer at the buzzer.Following a timeout with 2.4 seconds left, Ross grabbed a deflected pass, took two dribbles and made a 33-footer -- but the officials ruled time had expired.Official Mike Callahan said a replay review showed the clock didnt start when DeMarcus Cousins deflected the ball. The actual elapsed time was 2.5 seconds, resulting in no basket and a celebration at Golden 1 Arena.Ive got to hear another explanation better than that because we reviewed it about 10 times in there, Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. Even if the clock started once DeMarcus Cousins deflected it, T-Ross caught it, shot it, and still had shot it at .5 (seconds) with plenty of time.The only explanation the Kings cared about was the disputed shot didnt count.We never get these kinds of breaks, Gay said. It felt good to get off the court and celebrate this win.While the Kings were ecstatic, the Raptors bemoaned their fate.Im going to save my money and say no comment, Kyle Lowry said.The NBAs scoring leader, DeMar DeRozan was defended tightly by Gay for much of the game and missed 12 of 15 shots while finishing with a season-low 12 points for Toronto.The Kings snapped a four-game losing streak and beat the Raptors for the second time this season. DeRozan, who entered averaging 33 points per game, missed all eight shots and had three second-half points as Toronto was outscored 44-36.We gave up 36 in the second half. Thats fantastic, because the first half wasnt so nice defensively, Kings coach Dave Joerger said.Sacramento defeated Toronto for the second time this season. In the first meeting, DeRozan shot 7 of 20 and had 23 points. He has reached 30 points in 10 of 13 games this season.I can say it was a bad shooting night or I could be humble and say that I played good defense, said Gay, an ex-teammate of DeRozans. Hes a friend of mine.Lowry had nine of his 25 points in the fourth quarter and finished with eight assists and seven turnovers. Jonas Valanciunas added 23 points and 14 rebounds, DeMarre Carroll scored 17 points, and Patrick Patterson 11.Cousins had 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Kings. Darren Collison added 15 points and nine assists, and Aaron Afflalo scored 14. Sacramento had dropped eight of 10.Lowry made two free throws to cut the Kings lead to 102-99.

He found Gay for a dunk off a fast break, giving the Kings a 102-97 lead with 1:37 left.TIP-INSRaptors: Reserve center Lucas Nogueira was back with the team after missing Thursdays game to be with his wife, who gave birth to a baby girl. ...

But Bourque, who has missed three games with a lower-body injury, wont be in the lineup when the Habs travel to Buffalo to take on the Sabres on Wednesday.The rivalry between Carlos Sainz and Max Verstappen has the potential to become more intense than that of Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton, says Sky Sports F1 pundit Martin Brundle. Sainz and Verstappen eventually finished the Australian GP in ninth and 10th respectively but the teenager was furious with both Toro Rosso and his team-mate at Albert Park.Verstappen, last seasons Rookie of the Year, felt he was held up by Sainz on several occasions - most notably behind Jolyon Palmer in the Renault. Both youngsters have been tipped as future superstars and, as Rosberg and Hamilton have proved during their time at Mercedes, a spiky relationship off the track makes for compelling viewing.The squabble between these two emerging stars in Formula 1 is going to be like Hamilton and Rosberg - but probably even more intense, noted Brundle during commentary on Sunday. 2016 Australian GP ratingsVerstappen, fifth on the grid, started the grand prix strongly, keeping Hamilton at bay during his first stint. But strategy calls as well as a slow pitstop halted his progress, and the real fireworks came over team radio during his pursuit of Sainz and Palmer in the battle for ninth.Can I try to get past? he said in one of many expletive-laden outbursts. Let me drive, this takes too long.Come on, we have to do something! Its a joke. The Sky Sports F1 pundits react to some heated radio messages from Toro Rossos Max Verstappen and say that he needs to keep calm to progress. Marvin Jones Jr Jersey. While Sainz was told to push by Toro Rosso, Verstappen believes his team should have done more to help him secure many more points in Melbourne. The Dutchman was also angered by delays from his pit crew; after Sainz was called in first, the tyres were not ready for Verstappen upon his second stop.He urged his team to learn lessons from Sundays race, but also said he doesnt care what they choose to do regarding place-swapping with his Spanish team-mate in the future.Australian GP conclusionsNormally I should be miles ahead, Verstappen said, as reported by Motorsport. It should be fine.I knew I was much faster today. Im not worried that the pace is not there. We just had a bad pitstop and then when you come out you are behind. To be honest for me its fine. I feel I have everything under control. I dont feel the pressure of him. Im focussing ahead, thats my competition.Sainz, meanwhile, insists he doesnt have an issue with the 18-year-old but that he did not miss any overtaking moves during the race.I overtook eight or ten cars today on a track, he said.Sky F1s Damon Hill also claimed Verstappens complaining was misguided, adding: That was the first sign of immaturity weve seen from Max.Dont miss the F1 Report for all the reaction and analysis from the Australian GP.

Robinson was injured in a spill underneath the Nuggets basket during the first quarter of Wednesday nights loss to the Charlotte Bobcats.SAN DIEGO, California - Josh Johnson was doing more than rehabbing an inflamed triceps during his six-week absence. When Johnson takes the mound on Tuesday night in San Francisco, his first start since April 21, hell feature a differently gripped changeup he hopes will keep Giants hitters off balance. A prototypical power pitcher with a fastball consistently in the mid-90s mph, Johnson feels hes lacked an offspeed pitch with a significant variation in velocity. "Ive been trying to get speed off for years and years," said Johnson. "You see other guys whose changeups are hard but they have good action to it. Mine doesnt really have that action that youd like that can get groundballs or get a swing and miss here and there to throw guys off a little bit, to have them respect that pitch. Hopefully I can get it to that level where it can be a huge pitch for me." Johnson has previously used his curveball to get hitters, anticipating his fastball or slider, to commit early. Even then he found he was throwing his curveball too hard. During his down time, spent predominantly at the Blue Jays facility in Dunedin, Florida, Johnson began picking the brain of Rick Langford, the clubs minor league rehab and pitching coach. It was then a change to Johnsons changeup grip was discussed and once the big right-hander was back on a mound, the change was implemented. "Its all about trust with that, with new grips," said Johnson. "I threw a couple good ones in the rehab starts. The first rehab starts the punchouts I had were with the changeup. Then, as always, once you start throwing it more and more it kind of goes up and down. Blake Comeau Avalanche Jersey. Hopefully it will keep going up and progressing with it and keep it down in the zone." The Blue Jays, who entered play Sunday 10 games under .500 and buried in last place in the American League East, need not only Johnsons return to the mound but his return to effectiveness. Johnson himself needs the same. Making $13.75-million this season and a free agent after the World Series, Johnson needs a combination of health and success in order to secure a contract rich in both term and dollar. In four starts this season, the last of which came April 21, Johnson is 0-1 with an ERA of 6.86. His walks plus hits per innings pitched (WHIP) sits at 1.881, inordinately high especially for a potential staff ace. When Johnson went down there was no indication he would miss six weeks. "It was just in a weird spot, its something that Ive never had before, never felt before," said Johnson of the triceps inflammation. "Just felt like someone had my fingers stuck in my triceps and every time Id get out there and get extension, I could throw and be alright but as soon as I let it go and got extension thats when I could feel it. It was in a weird spot and I didnt want to escalate it into anything worse, its the exact opposite of what wed want. So, just take a little bit more on this end of it." Johnson rejoined the Blue Jays on Friday night and was in the dugout in time to watch a good portion of the 17-inning marathon loss. His family is with him on the road trip. He says hes glad to be back. "Absolutely. Just being out there and going to battle with the guys and just being around."

Keyshawn Johnson Jersey .George and Turner scored 22 points each to lead the Pacers to a 110-94 win over the Hornets on Monday night, snapping Indianas four-game losing streak against Charlotte in the regular season.We knew this team has kicked us in the past, four or five times, so we wanted to come out here and send a message, Turner said. We were so connected in the first quarter on defense and it just carried over to the rest of the game.Jeff Teague had 16 points, 11 assists and five rebounds, and Rodney Stuckey added 14 points for the Pacers, who have won two straight since returning home from a five-game road trip.Marco Belinelli scored 14 points for the Hornets, Marvin Williams and Nicolas Batum each had 13 and Kemba Walker added 12.C.J.

But Turners 3 with 1:12 put the Pacers ahead 103-92 to seal it for Indiana.At the start of the game, George appeared to pick up from where he left off on Saturday when he scored 37 points in the Pacers 118-111 win over Portland. He started the game with a 3-pointer and a flashy, turnaround jumper, but never went off to help Indiana pull away until the fourth quarter when he scored three times, including a basket to give the Pacers a nine-point lead.Mostly it was a game of runs.Turner and Glenn Robinson III made back-to-back 3s in the first quarter to help Indiana get off to a good start. Later Turner hit another 3-pointer and Thaddeus Young scored on a layup to put the Pacers ahead 20-10 with 3:20 to go in the first before the Hornets went on a 9-0 run to get back within a point.When youre down, you have to stick to the game plan and keep playing, Batum said. You cant give up. We did it a couple of times.

G Monta Ellis was out with a sore groin.A HOMECOMING OF SORTSHornets center Cody Zeller, who attended Indiana University and is a native of the Hoosier state, received a warm welcome from fans during pregame introductions. The welcome wasnt quite the same for Roy Hibbert when he checked into the game late in the first quarter. Hibbert, who played for the Pacers for seven seasons from 2008-15, was met with scattered boos when he entered the lineup. The jeers were noticeably louder when he first got the ball, though his hook-shot in the middle of a 9-0 run in the first quarter quieted fans.FIRST QUARTER SPARKHibbert actually created a bit of a spark off the bench in the first quarter. He set a screen twice for Belinelli that cleared him for open baskets, including one he was fouled on before he completed the and-one. Then Hibbert made back-to-back shots, including one to get the Hornets within a point.UP NEXTHornets: At Washington on Wednesday night for their third game of a five-game road trip.Pacers: At Miami on Wednesday night, where they have lost three straight regular season games.

NEW YORK -- Some Columbia University wrestlers will be suspended from the team for as long as the rest of the school year over lewd and racially insensitive text messages, but some teammates can keep competing, including in a state championship this weekend, the university announced on Friday.Columbia wouldnt say how many wrestlers are barred from competing, citing educational privacy laws, and the team coach and assistant coaches didnt immediately respond to emails and phone calls seeking comment.The team apologized in a letter on Thursday, calling the text messages inexcusable and saying members were prepared for repercussions.We could not be more remorseful for the harm that this situation has caused, the team wrote, according to a student-run blog that said it received the letter.The blog, Bwog.com, had published screengrabs of the crude text messages.The Ivy League university had put all competition on hold Monday to investigate the texts, which the blog said were exchanged by seniors on the wrestling team.Some messages disparaged female students, expressed hope that someone would be sexually assaulted at a campus event, used anti-gay terms and slurred black people, including while discussing the deadly police shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014.. Eric Decker Youth Jersey. .The blog redacted the senders identities, so it was unclear how many people sent or responded to them. But Columbias athletics department said in a statement on Friday it determined only a distinct group of wrestlers was involved.Those responsible for the offensive statements are suspended from the team through the rest of the school year, some others are barred just through the rest of the semester and those who werent involved can continue competing, the athletics department said. No wrestlers are suspended from their studies, just from the sport.The department said it recognized students have a right to express themselves, but the appalling messages dont fit behavior standards for Columbias student-athletes. The athletes code of conduct includes pledges to treat everyone with dignity and respect and not to do anything that might reflect poorly on themselves or the team.The wrestlers will work with an advocate for fighting discrimination in sports, the department said.The messages were revealed a week after Harvard University canceled the remainder of the season for its mens soccer team because of lewd comments about members of the womens soccer team.
