FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Kevin Shattenkirk Jersey . -- With roster locks Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola on the mend and several other New England receivers unavailable, the absences have created opportunities for others.Edelman broke his left foot in Week 9 last season, missing the rest of the regular season before returning for two playoff games and undergoing a minor cleanup procedure in the offseason. He was activated from the physically unable to perform list Sunday but did not participate in the intrasquad scrimmage workout. Amendola underwent a procedure on his left knee in the offseason and had bone spurs removed from his ankle and remains on the PUP list.Im like day to day right now, so Im a day better than yesterday, Edelman said after the workout. Its good to get out here and run around with the pads and adjust to catching a ball with the shoulder pads and the helmet and the facemask. Going out there and trying to get tired, as tired as possible with the pads on, so you can get used to games and stuff.Chris Hogan suffered an early injury in camp and Nate Washington has been limited after missing several days early in camp with an illness. Keshawn Martin also has missed several days.The absences have opened chances for Aaron Dobson, DeAndre Carter and Chris Harper to step up. Malcolm Mitchell and Devin Lucien also are vying for the fifth receiver spot.Dobson is entering his fourth season but has been limited to just 24 games in his career because of injuries. Head coach Bill Belichick likes what he has seen so far.Aarons had a good spring and a good few days here at training camp, Belichick said. I think weve seen that from him before. Id say Aarons just, for whatever reason, hasnt been able to consistently be on the field and do it. When hes been out there hes looked good a lot, but he hasnt always been out there for one reason or another. So, hopefully -- I know hes training hard, looks like hes in good condition this year -- hopefully hell be able to stay on the field and continue to improve. I think thats really the key. Its not just being healthy, but being healthy to practice and improve. Aarons worked hard, hes made some good catches. So hopefully he keeps climbing in that direction.Harper appeared in five games for the Patriots last season.(He) had a lot of ground to make up and he has come a long way, Belichick said. He had a real good spring and hes built on that here in training camp. (He) shows good quickness, hes caught the ball well. Hes doing well but he has come a long way. He has probably made as much progress as any player has in the last calendar year, maybe a little more than that going back to last spring, but yeah, he has come a long way.It means a lot, definitely coming from a coach of his caliber, Harper said, of hearing Belichicks comments. Just hearing the kind words that he said, it makes me definitely want to work hard to continue to get those praises.Hes not the only receiver who has caught the coachs eye. For the 5-feet-8, 190-pound Carter, Belichick invoked the name of a Patriots great.He runs pretty well. Hes kind of got a Troy Brown-type of build, but I think hes got enough speed to be competitive on the perimeter, Belichick said.Carter appreciated the comparison.Its a great, great honor to be put in that category. Troys a great player. I had a chance to talk with him and work with him a little bit here in the spring at OTAs, Carter said. (He) was a great punt returner in this league and a great receiver in this league, made a lot of great, clutch plays for the Patriots in postseason and big games. Being able to talk with him and pick his brain about how he approached the game, and we have similar builds as well, was definitely a benefit to me and something I enjoyed in the spring. Jay Bouwmeester Jersey . Its sharpness matched my mind. This was no night to go to sleep. Jake Allen Blues Jersey .S. Open champion Justin Rose birdied the first hole with a blind shot he hit to a foot of the pin, and he stayed in front Tuesday until he completed a 4-under 67 for a two-shot lead over Jason Dufner in PGA Grand Slam of Golf. http://www.jerseynhlblueshockey.com/pierre-turgeon-hockey-jersey/ .com) - Christian Ponder will get another chance to prove himself for the Minnesota Vikings, with head coach Leslie Frazier announcing Wednesday that the struggling quarterback will start this weekends game against the Green Bay Packers. Olivia Nelson-Ododa was content building sand castles in the long-jump pit, oblivious to her mom and big brother running laps on the track.And then she wasnt.Barefoot, the 8-year-old Olivia ditched the sand castles to run with her mom, Heather, and Alonzo, who was 15. Of course, she couldnt keep pace.She lapped us more than once, said Heather, still amazed by the memory. She just came out of nowhere and passed us by. Pretty soon, [Alonzo] got tired, but she kept sprinting.Her brother, by the way, is 6-foot-9 and 235 pounds. He just finished his collegiate basketball career at the University of Pittsburgh.Their father, Sebastian, who is 6-7?, is a native of Kenya who played basketball for Huntington University and for the Kenyan national team.We attributed Olivias ability to run fast and barefoot to Sebastian being from Kenya, Heather said.Kenya has a proud tradition in long-distance running. Sebastian attributed it to Olivia eating Ugali (a cornmeal-based dish popular in Kenya and other African nations).Seven years after that day on the track, Olivia, 15, is still leaving her competition in the dust, although its now on the basketball court.She is in Zaragoza, Spain, representing Team USA in the U17 world championships.Playing for Team USA means everything to me, Nelson-Ododa said from Spain, her first trip abroad. Ive worked really hard for this opportunity. And now that its here, Im so excited.A 6-foot-4 forward, Nelson-Ododa is the No. 13 prospect in the espnW HoopGurlz Terrific 25 for the 2018 class. She averaged 16.9 points, 10.6 rebounds and 3.2 blocks as a sophomore this past season for Winder-Barrow (Winder, Georgia), making first-team Class 5A All-State.She can handle the ball like a guard -- right hand, left hand, between the legs, behind the back, Winder-Barrow coach Brandon Thomas said. She has amazing agility and skill level for someone her size.That was evident in a state semifinal this past season against Brunswick. Nelson-Ododa had 29 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks, leading Winder-Barrow to a 65-52 win and the first girls basketball state final in the 60-year history of the school.The Bulldogs lost the state final 49-48 to powerhouse Southwest DeKalb. Nelson-Ododa had 13 points and 19 rebounds. Her team was doomed by 27 turnovers, but the Bulldogs graduated just one senior from their rotation.This was the Bulldogs first trip to the 32-team state tournament in 22 years, and Nelson-Ododas carefree spirit helped define their run.On the morning of their first game, assistant coach Kimberly Garren went to get Nelson-Ododa, only to find her star player shooting 3-pointers in the school gym wearing a Snuggie adorned with a bears head.And when Garren laughed and snapped a quick photo, the teams third ritual was born.A spaghetti dinner the night before games, new T-shirts made up before each round and a goofy photo of Nelson-Ododa (the selections include one on a swing, another in a bumper car and another in a 4-foot-tall dollhouse).Nelson-Ododas mother said she could barely stop laughing when she saw the first photo of her daughter in a Snuggie that fit three years ago but now only came up to her knees.She said she wanted to be comfortable for the three-hour bus ride [to the game], Heather said. For her to be so relaxed and self-assured before a biig game was great. Pavol Demitra Blues Jersey. Then again, sports have always come easy to Nelson-Ododa -- no need to stress.Track and field was never a serious consideration, although she did win an eighth-grade county championship, with little practice, in the high jump.When she was 6, she attended a University of Georgia womens basketball game with her family. Her parents had no idea she was absorbing the game so thoroughly until they found out she had memorized all the players names and positions.The next year, she asked for season tickets for Christmas.Basketball has always been her passion. And although she has that goofy side -- she once used a toe-print instead of a fingerprint to access her phone -- Nelson-Ododa is fiercely serious about her sport.For six weeks prior to USA Basketball trials in Colorado Springs, Nelson-Ododa took her training to new heights. Among other things, she trained with an elevation mask that restricted her oxygen intake and prepared her for Colorados thin air.Matt Huddleston, her AAU coach, also brought in training partner Kelley Cain, a 6-6, 220-pound professional center who played in Poland this past season and has appeared in the WNBA, as well as leagues in Italy, South Korea and Turkey.Cain, who is 12 years older and 70 pounds heavier than Nelson-Ododa, said she was impressed.As good as she is now, she has potential to get even better, Cain said. Whenever we showed her something, she picked it up in one second.She doesnt realize she is decently strong, and she still hasnt figured out how to use her height. I looked her dead in the eyes, and Im 6-6, so I think shes taller than 6-4.Nelson-Ododa, who has a 3.8 GPA and aspires to be a surgeon, hasnt come up with a list of college finalists yet, but she said she likes South Carolina, Tennessee, Ohio State, Georgia Tech and Georgia so far.Cain said Nelson-Ododa is one of the sweetest girls you will ever meet, but she is competitive, too.I blocked her shot a few times, Cain said. That was to help her learn that there are women out there who are her size. But it also taught her that if she can score on me, she can score on just about anyone.In addition to having her work against Cain, Huddleston also brought in a 5-9, ultra-quick male player to give Nelson-Ododa experience at defending a skilled perimeter scorer.The young man we brought in to work with her has been on the mens practice squad for the [WNBA] Atlanta Dream. He pushed Olivia to work on her ball handling and her ability to attack the rim from the perimeter.All of that work has paid off. Through Team USAs first five games, Nelson-Ododa is averaging 11.6 points and 9.2 rebounds. She is shooting a team-high 56 percent from the field. Team USA plays Australia Friday in the semifinals. The medal games are scheduled for Saturday.Shes a walking legend in our school, Garren said. Shes the best player ever on our campus. Yet shes very humble, and her teammates love her.We were in a summer tournament [last week] in South Carolina, traveling in a van, and every time I looked up, the girls were Face-timing Olivia from Spain.The girls are very happy for Olivia. And Olivia deserves this -- she has worked her butt off. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '

PHILADELPHIA -- Villanovas senior class is on the verge of an incredible record. John Randle Vikings Throwback Jersey .Josh Hart, Darryl Reynolds and Kris Jenkins have never dropped a Big 5 game since joining the Wildcats and theyll have a chance to go undefeated when they host Temple Tuesday night at 7 p.m. EST at The Pavilion.No. 1-ranked Villanova improved to 3-0 in the Big 5 this season with a hard-fought 89-79 win over La Salle last Tuesday at the Palestra. Then the Wildcats stayed perfect on the season overall (10-0) with a 74-66 victory over No. 23 Notre Dame on Saturday in Newark, N.J.Villanova is also going for its 18th straight Big 5 victory.Its unbelievable to think about, Villanova head coach Jay Wright told the Philadelphia Daily News. I dont want to think about it because its monumental. It really is.Hart is coming off a memorable game with a career-best 37 points to go along with 11 rebounds and four assists in the eight-point win over the Fighting Irish.I was just out there playing, Hart told reporters. In a game like that we were battling, battling, battling, to the end. Fatigue wasnt a factor.The Wildcats came back from an 11-point deficit in the inaugural Never Forget Tribute Classic honoring the families of victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.That was just a great college basketball game, Wright told reporters. Were really proud to be a part of the cause. It was a great atmosphere with what felt like a Villanova crowd. Notre Dame is so tough to play against. I think Mike (Brey) is one of the best coaches in the country. Theyre an underrated defensive team.Temple elevated its record to 7-3 with a 74-65 victory over DePaul Saturday at the Hoophall Miami Invitational.The Owls will enter Tuesdays game on the Main Line also at 3-0 in the Big 5, adding to the intrigue.Temple led DePaul by as many as 25 points in the second half before holding on for the victory.I thought we made a couple of foolish mistakes on both ends, and a team is going to take advantage of that, Temple head coach Fran Dunphy told the Philadelphia Inquirer. We got tight, they were playing loose, and as a result the lead got cut.Obi Enechionyia and Shizz Alston Jr. scored 15 points each while Quinton Rose added 12 points. Enechionyia and Alston also had seven rebounds apiece.Temple received a lift from Josh Brown as he had 11 points and five assists in his first start of the year. Brown was named Hoophall Miami Invitational Most Valuable Player.And he also contributed a career-high seven steals, the most for a Temple player since Will Cummings at SMU on Feb. 19, 2015.It was just the fourth game for Brown in his return from an Achilles tendon injury in the offseason.Well see how he feels like tomorrow (Sunday), lets see how he feels in one day, and obviously Tuesday for the Villanova game, Dunphy told the Inquirer about Browns status. He deserves that opportunity to be in the lineup. Now I just have got to manage his minutes as best as possible. Dale Murphy Braves Throwback Jersey .

It was bad baseball.When youre this far under .500 (57-81), to have games like this regularly would make it a long season. This was not our typical game. I hope we dont have one of these for a while.

The Montreal Canadiens added some much need toughness to their roster on Friday. Zdeno Chara Bruins Jersey . The club acquired forward George Parros from the Florida Panthers in exchange for forward Philippe Lefebvre and a 7th-round pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. The 33-year-old played 39 games with the Panthers last season, posting one goal and one assist with 57 penalty minutes. Parros will provide the Canadiens with some much needed size up front, and will likely take the burden of fighting off of undersized forward Brandon Prust, who regularly had to fight against the other teams heavyweights last season. In eight seasons, Parros has 1007 penalty minutes in 452 games.  Patrice Bergeron Jersey .

The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed free-agent reliever Brian Wilson to a one-year contract that guarantees $1 million for the rest of this season. He will join the team after pitching in the minors on a rehab assignment. "One thing we talked about was that quality power on the back end," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "Its one of the areas we felt could still help us." Wilson hasnt pitched in the majors since April 12, 2012, the same month he underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. He threw in front of scouts last week, and Mattingly said the Dodgers representatives were happy with Wilsons location and velocity. Wilson was one of the majors top relievers from 2008-11 with the San Francisco Giants. He was a three-time All-Star and led the big leagues with 163 saves in 186 chances. He was a key reliever during the Giants run to the 2010 World Series championship, striking out 16 in 11 2-3 scoreleess innings in the post-season. Bobby Orr Bruins Jersey. . He became a free agent after last season, when the Giants didnt offer him a contract. Wilson is 20-20 with 171 saves in 315 career games with the Giants. The 31-year-old pitcher has limited opposing hitters to a .238 batting average during his career with 340 strikeouts in 320 innings. His heavy black beard has taken on a life of its own, and helped make Wilson a celebrity. "We have some characters in there, so Im sure hell fit right in," Mattingly said. Wilson gets a $250,000 bonus when hes on the active 25-man major league roster for 10 days; would earn $25,000 each for four, six, eight and 10 relief appearances; and would get $50,000 apiece for 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 and 22. Wilsons deal also includes bonuses of $50,000 each for four, six, eight and 10 games finished, and $75,000 apiece for 12 and 14. He would get $75,000 if hes the league championship series MVP and $100,000 if hes the World Series MVP.Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '

Louis Rams wide receiver Stedman Bailey last Sunday. The fine is the fourth this season for Goldson. He was fined $30,000 for a hit on the New York Jets Jeff Cumberland in Week 1. BOSTON -- Call it the unholy alliance: one-time Super Bowl rivals Tom Brady and Michael Strahan are teaming up to produce a six-part documentary TV series called the Religion of Sports.Each hour-long episode looks at different examples of the cultural and spiritual impact of sports in religions around the world.The show explores the rivalry between soccer clubs in Glasgow, Scotland; the Calgary Stampede rodeo in Alberta, Canada; and the rise of e-sports. It also delves into NASCAR, mixed martial arts and minor league baseball.The Associated Press caught up with Brady, Strahan and Gotham Chopra -- the creator, director and voice -- of the series that airs beginning Nov. 15 on the Audience Network on DirecTV and AT&T U-verse.Brady is a quarterback for the New England Patriots. Strahan is a retired New York Giants defensive end, who is joining ABCs Good Morning America this fall. Chopra is the son of spiritual guru Deepak Chopra.Their comments have been edited for clarity and length:--AP: Where did the idea of this show come from?Chopra: Figuratively I feel like Ive been working on this my whole life. Obviously growing up with my father, I was around that world of spirituality and religion. But I also grew up in Boston. I bled green as a Celtics fan in the `80s. I loved sports. About five years ago, I had a conversation with my father, who never really understood that devotion to sports. And I remember saying to him that all of those things you speak in the spiritual tradition also exist in sports.--AP: What drew you to this project?Strahan: I love the emotional aspect of it. You hear Religion of Sports, and you say, OK, so sport is a religion? Well, yeah, it really is. The temple is this arena or stadium. These athletes can be considered the gods in certain ways and the fans can be considered parishioners. So to be able to explore that and this spiritual connection between sports and life, thats what really piqued my interest.--AP: You say sport creates a spiritual experience for both fans and playerrs. Clarke MacArthur Senators Jersey. . How would you describe that to non-sports fans?Brady: Its pretty simple: In sports you often become part of something greater than yourself. On the field, you come into sync with your teammates and coaches and together you achieve something that you could never do on your own. And as an athlete, when you are on that field and the fans get really engaged and you can feel their energy and passion and true love of the game, it is absolutely a spiritual experience.--AP: How is this series going to be different from other sports documentary shows out there?Chopra: I compare it a lot to This American Life. Its stories about why sports gives people purpose, meaning and significance -- whether youre an athlete, fan or person that works within sports. Its very much character-driven. The backdrop happens to be sports.--AP: What was the most interesting thing for you about this project?Strahan: Its finding out those backstories and motivations. Its the real heart-to heart-feel of everybodys story. Cat Zingano (a mixed martial arts fighter the series followed as she prepared for a comeback fight earlier this year) and her reason for doing what shes doing. Once you see that episode, youll have a much deeper appreciation for who she is and what shes come from.--AP: Did you learn anything new about sports culture in the making of this?Brady: As far as the series goes, its great to learn more about sports Im probably less familiar with -- stock car racing, rodeo, e-sports -- and realize that a lot of the people at the center of those sports bring the same level of passion, commitment and disciple that I try to with football. Sports is a way of life for billions of people around the planet. Religion of Sports takes you beyond sports as we know it.---Follow Philip Marcelo at twitter.com/philmarcelo.

When Frank Lowy stepped down as FFA chairman in November last year, he was sure of soccers place in Australia. Luc Robitaille Jersey .We were number four and now were definitely number three, knocking on number two ... we are at the ceiling of number two, he said.What Tuesdays $364 million broadcast agreement with Fox Sports revealed is that soccer still has some way to claim second spot.The AFL and the NRL are the runaway giants of Australian sport, yielding $417 million and $360 million annually from their recently-inked broadcast deals.Soccer is a distant third, pocketing $57.6 million from Fox Sports each year until 2023, a number to be boosted by a free-to-air component to be sold early in 2017.Steven Lowy, overseeing his first broadcast deal since succeeding his father as chairman, said there was no disappointment from his end.Its a very competitive market here with other codes. Australians love many sports ... and we believe we have the ability to grow more than any of them, he said.Football sits with a very high-growth trajectory. The first A-League games were in 2005, so were young.Audiences, crowds and club memberships are up.Were coming from a lower base but we now have a major capital injection to grow.The A-League deal puts the ARU and its $57 million annual agreement into fourth place among Australias football codes.But of course, broadcast agreements arent everything.FFA rightly celebrated an Australian Sports Commission report which confirmed soccer was Australias most popular club sport to play.Lowy Jr said the new injection of funds would allow more money at all levels of the game - national teams, national competitions and local soccer.This six-year agreement gives us the certainty to continue to implement our strategy to grow the Hyundai A-League and the Westfield W-League and invest more in grassroots football development and the womens game, he said. Robyn Regehr Jersey . -- Eastern Kentucky thrives off creating havoc for others. Tanner Pearson Jersey . - Chris Tierney snapped a tie with a power-play goal late in the third period as the London Knights rallied from a 3-0 deficit to beat the Erie Otters 5-3 in Ontario Hockey League action on Wednesday. http://www.officialkingshockey.com/Robyn-Regehr-Jersey/ .

PITTSBURGH -- A rainy Saturday night was dreary for the Pittsburgh Pirates as they lost another game as well as more ground in the standings and possibly leadoff hitter Josh Harrison for an extended period. Johnny Gaudreau Flames Jersey .Joey Votto celebrated his 33rd birthday with four hits, including a home run, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the collapsing Pirates 8-7.Votto led off the ninth inning with his 23rd homer, a drive to right off Juan Nicasio that gave the Reds a two-run cushion. The 2010 NL MVP is hitting .427 in 51 games since the All-Star break and could become the first major leaguer to hit .400 in the second half since Ichiro Suzuki had a .429 average in 2004 with the Seattle Mariners.The Pirates flickering hopes of a fourth consecutive postseason berth took another hit as they dropped 5 1/2 games behind St. Louis for the second NL wild card with their 10th loss in 12 games.When asked in his post-game press conference if he would call a meeting in an effort to spark his team, manager Clint Hurdle gave a terse answer.The one thing I do is when I talk to guys, I dont tell you I talk to them, he said.Francisco Cervelli hit a two-out RBI single in the ninth for Pittsburgh, but Tony Cingrani held on for his 17th save. With runners on first and second, Jordy Mercer bounced into a fielders choice for the final out.We always talk about add-on runs being so big, Reds manager Bryan Price said. That solo shot by (Votto) gave Tony some breathing room, which we needed.Harrison left in the sixth inning after injuring his right groin while legging out a two-run double that got the Pirates within one at 7-6. He is 17 for 42 (.405) with six doubles during a 10-game hit streak.Harrison began limping after rounding the first base on the ball hit into the right-center field gap. He was able to slide safety into second base then pounded the bag with his left fist in frustration before walking gingerly off the field.Hurdle said he had no update on Harrison.Brandon Phillips had three of Cincinnatis 15 hits, helping the Reds rally from an early 4-0 deficit for their second straight win following nine losses in 11 games. Tucker Barnhart drove in three runs.Phillips is hitting .365 (19 for 52) with four homers and 10 RBI in 14 games against the Pirates this season.The Reds jumped in front with three runs in the fifth against rookie reliever Trevor Williams (1-1). Scott Schebler had a bases-loaded walk before Barnhart made it 7-4 with a two-run double.Williams took the loss in his second major league appearance after allowing one unearned run in three innings on Wednesday in a win over St. Louis.It comes down to one pitch, Williams said. Unfortunately, I hung a slider a little bit (to Barnhart).Jung Ho Kangs two-run homer off rookie starter Robert Stephenson gave the Pirates a 4-0 lead in the third inning. Kang finished with two hits and three RBI.Josh Smith (3-1) got the win despite allowing two runs in 2 1/3 innings.Stephenson threw 43 pitches during a two-run first inning and made it through just three innings, getting tagged for four runs and five hits.Acquired in an Aug. 1 trade with Toronto and assigned to Triple-A Indianapolis, Drew Hutchison gave up four runs --- all scoring in the fourth inning --- and eight hits in four innings in his Pirates debut.I wasnt sharp in the first but I thought I did a good job and started to get going in the second and the third, Hutchison said. The fourth was just frustrating and disappointing.TRAINERS ROOMPirates: LF Starling Marte (back spasms) sat out for a fifth straight game and there is no timetable for his return.KUHL SET FOR RETURNPirates right-hander Chad Kuhl will return to the rotation Thursday night and start at Philadelphia. The rookie was originally supposed to start Saturday but the Pirates decided to give him a break after working 134 1/3 innings between Pittsburgh and Indianapolis this season.UP NEXTReds: LHP Brandon Finnegan (8-10, 4.17 ERA) will start Sunday in the finale of the four-game series. He is winless in his last three starts despite a 3.00 ERA in that span.Pirates: RHP Ryan Vogelsong (3-4, 4.07 ERA) has allowed a combined 10 runs in nine innings in his last two starts while going 0-1. Al MacInnis Flames Jersey Authentic . Scott Kazmir allowed four hits in seven shutout innings, Michael Brantley hit a two-run homer in a three-run first inning and the Indians maintained their hold on an AL wild-card spot with a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night. Gary Roberts Flames Jersey . -- The Bishops Gaiters are showing they belong among the countrys top varsity football teams. http://www.officialflamesauthority.com/johnny-gaudreau-flames-jersey-c-19/ . -- Whether Jeremy Hill deserves a prominent role in LSUs offence this early in the season is a matter for debate. OMAHA, Neb.--?Michael Phelps?said he wanted his last competitive race on U.S. soil to be a victory.He did just that, and in dramatic fashion, on Saturday by rallying over the final lap to win the 100-meter butterfly at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials and qualify in the event for next months Rio de Janeiro Games.The 31-year-old Phelps, swimming in Lane 7 and against opponents with an average age of 23, will now get a chance to win his fourth straight gold in the 100 fly at Rio.Sitting in fourth heading into the final turn, Phelps pulled ahead in the final meters, touching the wall in 51.00. Tom Shields also qualified in the event, finishing second in 51.20.When Phelps saw the 1 beside his name, he pounded the water and pointed toward his family -- including 7-week-old son, Boomer -- up in the stands.Overall, he made it three-for-three in Olympic qualifying at the trials.Missy Franklin will get the chance to defend her 200-meter backstroke gold medal in Rio after finishing second on Saturday in the event final at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials.Joining Franklin is Maya Dirado, who won the final (2:06.90) after gaining a comfortable lead midway through the race.Franklin, who finished in 2:07.89, won gold and set the world record in the event four years ago in London. As a high schooler during those games, she took part in seven events, winning four golds and a bronze. She finished fifth in the 100 free in 2012 but wont be part of that race at all this time around.At age 21, Franklin hasnt been able to recapture the magic that carried her to such heights in London. Outside of a gutsy runner-up finish in the 200 freestyle, she finished sevennth in the 100 backstroke -- a race she won in 2012 -- and that knocks her out of consideration for the 4x100 medley relay. Michael Frolik Flames Jersey Authentic. One of the things Ive been trying to do this whole year is not compare myself to where I was in 2012, Franklin said. I think coming in a lot of people thought that ... I would have to do the same thing I did in 2012, and thats not what I came here intending to do. I came in here to be the best of who I am right now, not who I was four years ago. So to get two individual spots and a relay spot, Im so happy with that.Katie Ledecky also added to her Rio itinerary by qualifying for the 800-meter freestyle.For 32-year-old Cullen Jones, a quarter-of-a-second brought potentially the end of a career.Jones finished third behind Nathan Adrian and Anthony Ervin in the 50-meter freestyle on Saturday night, ensuring that he wont be part of the team the U.S. will take to Rio in August.After the race, Jones was the last one out of the pool. He lifted himself onto the pool deck and responded to the cheering fans by raising his arms high above his head. He admitted the outcome was extra frustrating, as he had put everything he had into making the Rio team.And to do that and not get the outcome you were looking for his tough, Jones said, though he added that he does plan on watching both the 50- and 100-meter freestyle races in Rio on TV.?Its going to hurt like hell, but Ill be watching, he said.

PORTLAND, Ore. Luca Sbisa Canucks Jersey . -- The Portland Trail Blazers hope for a couple of trends to continue when they play host to the Denver Nuggets Sunday night at the Moda Center.The Trail Blazers (6-4) have beaten Denver (3-6) six straight times at home and are 14-2 against the Nuggets at the Moda Center since the start of the 2008-09 season. Portland has won 12 of its past 13 matchups overall with Denver dating to the start of the 2013-14 season.The Blazers beat Denver 115-113 in overtime at the Pepsi Center on Oct. 29, scoring nine unanswered points in the final 1:26 of regulation to force the extra session. Damian Lillard scored a game-high 37 points on 15-for-28 shooting, including the game-winning field goal with .3 of a second remaining. Lillard has averaged 29.3 points on .485 shooting over the past three games against the Nuggets, having scored at least 30 in two of those games.Lillard is tied for fourth in the NBA in scoring at 30.6 points per game and has totaled the most points (306) in the first 10 games of a season in Portland history. The previous best was Kiki Vandeweghes 282 in 1986. Lillard becomes the first player in Blazer annals to score at least 30 points in six of the first 10 games of a season.Lillard scored 36 points to lead Portland past Sacramento 122-120 in overtime Friday at the Moda Center.A pretty gritty win, Portland coach Terry Stotts said. Its a positive that this group is able to find ways to win a close game.Portland is 4-1 in games decided by six points or fewer and 2-1 in overtime contests this season.The Blazers are going without power forward Al-Farouq Aminu, who has missed the past three games with a straining left calf. (Aminu) will be re-evaluated in a couple of weeks, Stotts said.In the meantime, the fifth-year Portland coach will choose from among Meyers Leonard, Noah Vonleh, Evan Turner and Allen Crabbe for the fifth starting spot, depending on matchups.Well do whatever I think is best that night, Stotts said.Denver guard Will Barton, a former Trail Blazer, has missed the past six games and will sit out Sundays contest with a sprained left ankle. Forward Darrell Arthur (knee) is questionable for Sundays game.The Nuggets continue to have trouble taking care of the ball. They rank last in the league, averaging 18 turnovers per game after totaling 15 in a 106-95 home loss to Detroit Saturday night.We cannot continue to turn the ball over 18, 19 times a game if we want to give ourselves a chance to win, Denver coach Mike Malone told reporters.The Nuggets hope to get one of those turnovers reversed -- and get a chance to turn a loss into a defeat in the process. In Tuesdays 108-107 loss at Memphis, referees ruled the ball was touched by the Nuggets before it went out of bounds with .7 of a second left, a call that was upheld by replay. Denver was leading by one point; the Grizzlies went on to win on Marc Gasols buzzer-beating basket.The next day, NBA officials ruled the ball should have been awarded to Denver. The Nuggets have filed an official protest with the league and hope to replay the end of the game the next time they play Memphis Feb. 1 in Denver. Todd Bertuzzi Canucks Jersey . John Lucas, signed as a mentor for rookie Trey Burke, showed he can score if required, scoring 12 points of his 16 points in the second quarter as Utah built an 18-point lead. Jannik Hansen Canucks Jersey Authentic . The 29-year-old from Port Colborne, Ont., has nothing but good things to say about former U.S. marine Liz (Girlrilla) Carmouche ahead of their co-main event Wednesday on the UFCs "Fight for the Troops" televised card in Fort Campbell, Ky. http://www.hockeycanucksauthority.com/henrik-sedin-canucks-jersey-c-5/ . -- Its been a long road back for Sean Bergenheim.MIAMI -- Dwyane Wades rookie season ended with a playoff loss to the Indiana Pacers. The next year, the Miami Heat were headed to the Eastern Conference finals and certain that an NBA championship was in their sights. Thats when Wade learned a valuable lesson: Never take playoff chances for granted. Wade hurt his rib cage on a simple crossover dribble during that 2005 East title series, and the Heat season ended with a Game 7 home loss to Detroit. Hes been to the East finals three times since, prevailing in them all, and on Wednesday will look to take a first step toward a fourth conference championship when the Heat play host to the Pacers in Game 1 of their playoff rematch from a year ago. "I know Im blessed to be going to the Eastern Conference finals for my fifth time," Wade said. "But I would like a lot more in my career. Its a good thing. Weve been very successful in my tenure here. But I want more." For Wade and Udonis Haslem, this marks five East finals appearances in nine years. For LeBron James, its a fifth trip to this round in the past seven years, now three straight with Miami after a pair of trips to the East finals with Cleveland. For Ray Allen, its a fourth East title-round trip in six years, the first three of those coming with Boston. Experience, it all favours Miami. For the Pacers, this is pretty much uncharted waters. Only one current Pacers player has ever appeared in a conference-final game, and that was backup big man Ian Mahinmi, who played exactly 71 seconds in one game of the 2011 West title series without so much as taking a shot. Nonetheless, the Pacers seem far from bothered by the fact that this stage is a new place for them. "Theres four teams left playing basketball in the NBA and this is something weve been looking forward to all year," Pacers forward David West said. "We lost to this team in the second round last year, so weve already gotten a step farther this season." Indiana took Miami to six games last season, leading the series 2-1 at one point, and left an impact on the Heat with words, actions and play. The series was always physical, at times bloody, and it took some superb efforts by Wade and James for Miami -- which was without Chris Bosh for 5 1/2 of those six games -- to put the Pacers away. Its not in the nature of either of these teams to back down from physicality, and tough play will almost certainly be a theme in this series. But if theres one thing the Pacers and Heat agree upon, its that this series will be decided by execution, not intimidation. "I think this will be about substance," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "This series has plenty to offer without hard fouls and trash-talking. Its going to be about basketball." The Heat are overwhelming favourites, at least according to the Las Vegas oddsmakers, who apparently arent putting much stock in that it was the Pacers who prevaiiled in two of the three meetings between the teams this season. Henrik Sedin Canucks Jersey Authentic. In turn, the Heat arent putting much stock in expectations. Even though its starting to seem like an annual event, getting to the conference final round, Heat players insist that its still as big a deal now as it ever was. "Its an opportunity for me to continue my dream and thats to compete for a championship," said James, the leagues reigning MVP for the second straight year and fourth time overall. "Im happy that Im in the position Im in, with great teammates and a great organization. Ive just got to do my part." Heat coach Erik Spoelstra was an assistant on that team -- Shaquille ONeals initial season in Miami -- that fully expected to be Finals-bound in 2005. Then Wade got hurt, and everything changed. "I let myself get too far ahead," Wade said. "I was thinking, Championship, were on our way. I was riding the wave. It was awesome. Then it smacked me -- Pow! -- and it just takes one moment to change. Stupid. All I did was crossover. Did a stupid crossover pullup, I dont know what happened and it changed everything for us. Thats when you learn, you dont know whats going to happen." Wade isnt 100 per cent this time around either, though has said in recent days that his bruised right knee is good enough for him to play. He doesnt even plan on missing any more practice time this season. The Pacers have some mild injury concerns as well, with West dealing with an injury to his lower right leg and 7-foot-2 centre Roy Hibbert needing a tape job on his right thumb after a hit in practice earlier this week. Theyre both expected to play Wednesday. "I think it will be a good series," Pacers forward Paul George said. "Obviously, we remember what happened last year and it will be on our mind when we face this team. Were not just happy to get to this stage, we want to get past this one, too." George has deservedly earned high marks this season for his offensive growth. The Pacers hopes in this series might hinge upon his defence. He went from guarding Carmelo Anthony in the second round to knowing that hell be facing off plenty in this series against James -- who Vogel called "the best player, the best offensive player in the world." "He has to do the same kind of thing he did on Carmelo," Vogel said of George. "He has to come out and compete the best he can and do it without fouling." James told teammates on Tuesday that hes raring to go, especially so since the Heat havent played in about a week. He was working after practice on his floating jumpers, something he employed against the massiveness of Hibbert last season and a trick he wont be afraid to pull out and use again in this series. "Its been go time," James said. "Since the playoffs started, its been go time. And I love the way weve been playing so far."

The one thing Lindsay Park has learned about Grande Rosso in the short time they having been training the gelding is he doesnt like a lot of work. Terrell Brandon Cavaliers Jersey .And now they are experimenting whether a drop in distance is something the gelding can handle.After winning over 1400m at Pakenham earlier in the month, Grande Rosso will now attempt black-type racing for the second time in his career when he runs in the Christmas Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield on Monday.The only time Grande Rosso has run in a stakes race was on debut in a Blue Diamond Preview, 22 starts ago.Grande Rosso has only been with Lindsay Park for three starts after starting his career with Mark Riley.When Riley was rubbed out for three years after Victorias Court Of Appeal reinstated his disqualification over a high TCO2 reading, Wez Hunter had the gelding for one run before he was transferred to Lindsay Park.Co-trainer Tom Dabernig says its a bit of an experiment to come back in distance but they have discovered Grande Rosso races best when fresh.We ran him at a mile off a relatively quick back-up during Cup week and he ran poorly, Dabernig said.Since then weve found that his best runs have been with little work and kept fresh.This race we thought that we dont have to do much with him, try him over shorter and see what happens.Dabernig said Grande Rosso came to the stable in great order but it took them a little while to work him out.He can be an aggressive track worker so thats why by doing not as much, he doesnt go leaving it on the track, Dabernig said.Watching his replays when hes gone up in distance hes travelled forward and pulled a bit and hasnt finished off.Over a shorter distance where they go a bit harder he gets off the bit.Hopefully in a race like this there will be a bit of pressure and he will drop off a bit and dash home.

The Hall of Fame defenceman told Landsberg that he believes fighting still has a place in todays game, but thinks staged fighting needs be outlawed. Nathan Hughes has admitted providing for his family was behind the decision to pledge his national allegiance to England.Fijian-born Hughes became available for the Grand Slam champions in June after qualifying on residency grounds and made his debut off the bench in Saturdays 37-21 victory over South Africa.Members of the Fiji squad who will run out at Twickenham this weekend are paid a mere ￡60 a day, a sum dwarfed by the ￡22,000 England players receive for each international.The figures involved have resulted in Hughes adopting a hard-nosed professional outlook on rugby knowing that he must provide for his family.I would love for Fiji to have more resources, but it is the way it is. They just have to deal with it and live on whatever they have got, Hughes said.There is a big difference and that is why people want to play rugby and how they survive.It is their bread and butter. Thats the decision I made -- I play my rugby to support my family and put shelter over their heads.Back home it has all been positive comments, everyone happy and proud of the decision I have made. Last week was exciting for me and my family.Despite the financial basis for his decision to represent England, Hughes insists the 26 minutes he played against South Africa were not without poignancy as he celebrated a proud moment in his career. LeBron James Jersey. I feel English now. I can say Im an English person now. It was exciting to get the nod to come off the bench and represent England, I can say its my country now, Hughes said.It was huge and it was emotional. I live here in England, it is where my family is now. This is home for me.I will not sing both anthems, Ill only be singing the national anthem, God Save the Queen.It has been a long time coming but now the time is here, Ive got my first cap and Im excited to get more.Hughes, an explosive No. 8 bristling with raw potential, is set to start in the back row against the nation of his birth on Saturday and realises that this guarantees special treatment at Twickenham.I do understand it. If youre an Islander, and I have this opportunity to play against Fiji, you know what is coming. You take it and you have got to give it back. Theyll know its coming too, he said.It will be very special to make this first start against Fiji, but weve got a lot of class back-rowers in the squad, waiting for the opportunity. You just have to train well and when you get an opportunity, take it with both hands.

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. PHILADELPHIA -- Jimmy Paredes wouldve loved to hit a triple for the cycle, but hes happy nevertheless just to be able to contribute.Paredes singled, doubled, homered and drove in three runs and the Philadelphia Phillies held on to complete a three-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies with a 7-6 victory Sunday.Paredes, who entered batting .198 in a part-time role, matched his season-high for hits and RBI against Colorado while making a rare start in left field.They gave me my chance and I did the best I can, he said. You never know when theyre going to give you a chance. I come early every day to get ready and wait for my chance.The only thing sweeter wouldve been a triple to complete the cycle.Next time, Paredes said.Cesar Hernandez extended his on-base streak to 21 games with a fourth-inning walk and had an RBI single. Cameron Rupp, Odubel Herrera and Freddy Galvis also had RBI for the Phillies, who have won four straight games.Everybodys contributing, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. I feel like everybodys getting opportunities. When you win a game, the more players that are involved in that game, the happier I am. It unites the team.Charlie Blackmon homered twice and doubled for the Rockies, who have lost three in a row and seven of eight. Blackmon finished the series with five home runs, and is batting .548 with eight homers and 14 RBI in his last nine games.Blackmon became the first Rockies player ever to hit five homers in a three-game series and the first player to do it in a three-game series at Citizens Bank Park.It was fun to watch, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. When a guy gets in a zone like that, its pretty amazing.Blackmon downplayed his accomplishment.If you play baseball long enough, eventually youre going to get hot, he said. Im grateful Im seeing the ball, but Im not going to get too excited.Nick Hundley added three hits and a pair of RBI for the Rockies.Severino Gonzalez (1-2) gave up one run on two hits in two innings in relief of starter Adam Morgan, who was injured in the fourth inning.Jeanmar Gomez gave up two runs but got Gerardo Parra to pop out to center for the final out with the tying run on third base for his 31st save in 34 chances. Hundley hit a two-out, bases-loaded single to pull Colorado to within a run.The Phillies scored three runs in the fifth to break a 3-all tie. Galvis hit the go-ahead RBI single, Paredes doubled home a run and Hernandez had an RBI single to give the Phillies a 6-3 lead.Rockies starter Tyler Chatwood (10-8) didnt record an out against any of the four batters he faced in the frame, leaving after giving up six runs -- four earned -- on six hits with four strikeouts and five walks in four-plus innings. The loss was the first on the road this season for Chatwood, who entered 6-0 with a 1.30 ERA away from Coors Field.On a hot, humid afternoon, the teams played sloppy baseball by combining for five errors, a wild pitch, a balk and a hit batter. There also was a botched tag and bobbled ball that resulted in a run for each team.The craziest inning was the bottom of the third whhen the Phillies scored a run to take a 2-1 lead. Chris Copeland Jersey. The Rockies had two errors, a wild pitch and a bobbled ball but managed to escape a one-out, bases-loaded jam, giving up just one run.After Aaron Altherr singled with one out and went to second on Chatwoods throwing error, Maikel Franco reached on third baseman Nolan Arenados throwing error. Both advanced on Chatwoods wild pitch, causing Chatwood to intentionally walk Ryan Howard to load the bases.Rupp then hit a grounder to first that looked like a sure out and possibly an inning-ending double play, but first baseman Ryan Raburn bobbled the ball and attempted to get the lead runner at home. The throw was late and the Phillies went up a run, but couldnt add on as Chatwood struck out Herrera and got Galvis to fly out.Arenado had a pair of errors and Chatwood and Daniel Descalso had one each for Colorado. Herrera dropped a ball in center field for Philadelphias lone error.CHATWOODS BACKChatwood said he experienced upper back tightness similar to that which landed him on the disabled list from June 19-July 5. He wasnt able to throw his fastball away to right-handers or inside to lefties or finish on his breaking ball. Hes having further tests on Monday.SUPER SLIDEThe Phillies also had a miscue in the third inning that wasnt scored an error when Hernandez failed to apply the tag on Blackmon at second base after a throw from left field beat Blackmon with time to spare. Second-base umpire Gary Cederstrom called Blackmon out, but replays showed Hernandez never touched Blackmon.Blackmon avoided the tag with a nifty slide in which he kicked his legs away from Hernandez.Asked how to describe it, he said, Like a ninja spiderman.STREAK SNAPPEDCarlos Gonzalez struck out swinging as a pinch-hitter in the sixth inning, ending his major league-leading 19-game hitting streak.TRAINERS ROOMRockies: Gonzalez has been battling a left ankle sprain. He was out of the starting lineup after starting Saturday nights game, but said he didnt suffer a setback and the club thought it best for him to rest his ankle on a day game following a night game.Phillies: Morgan left the game in the fourth after suffering a left forearm contusion while taking Nick Hundleys line drive off his left forearm. Morgan, who was called up from Triple-A before the game in place of injured right-hander Zach Eflin, allowed two runs on five hits.UP NEXTRockies: Colorado returns home for the start of a six-game homestand that begins Monday night for the first of three against the Nationals. Rockies LHP Jorge De La Rosa (7-7, 5.25) faces Washington RHP Max Scherzer (12-7, 2.80).Phillies: The Phillies have Monday off before hosting Chase Utley and the Dodgers for three games beginning Tuesday night when Philadelphia RHP Vince Velasquez (8-4, 3.94) opposes Los Angeles RHP Kenta Maeda (11-7, 3.31). Utley will be making his first trip back to Philadelphia since being traded to the Dodgers last season.
