NEW ORLEANS -- The man who fatally shot retired New Orleans Saints star Will Smith insisted Saturday that he did so only after a drunken, irate Smith retrieved a gun from his damaged SUV following an April 9 car crash. Mike Green Jersey .I knew for a fact that I was going to get shot, Cardell Hayes, 29, told the jury in his second-degree murder trial, adding that he heard a pop that he believed to be a gunshot before he fired. Hayes also insisted he didnt shoot Smiths wife Racquel that night. Prosecutors say ballistics evidence shows otherwise.Hayes defense lawyers rested their case Saturday afternoon, setting the stage for closing arguments and the beginning of jury deliberations Sunday.On the stand, Hayes vehemently denied intentionally running into Smiths Mercedes SUV moments after the Mercedes appeared to have bumped Hayes car. He said he armed himself only after he and his own passenger were accosted by Smith and Richard Hernandez, a passenger in the SUV. Hernandez, he said, wildly stripped off his shirt and took something shiny from his pocket -- Hayes said he feared it was a knife.Smith didnt initially notice the gun, Hayes said. He said Smith, 34, threw a cup containing some type of alcohol at him and punched him repeatedly. At some point during the fast-unfolding melee, Hernandez alerted Smith to Hayes gun, Hayes said under questioning from defense lawyer John Fuller.Hayes testified that Smith addressed him with a racial epithet and then told him, ... you got your gun. Well Im going to get mine and Ill show you what to do with it.Hayes said Hernandez, a white Hispanic who fled the scene, also used racial epithets.However, race has not been raised as an alleged factor in the confrontation. Hayes and Kevin ONeal, his passenger, are black, and so was Smith.Hayes was calm and soft spoken under questioning from Fuller, his voice catching briefly as he noted that he has been jailed since the shooting, unable to be with his 6-year-old son. He was the only witness to place a gun in Smiths hand that night. Police say a loaded gun was found in Smiths SUV. Prosecutors say it was never fired that night and that Smith never grabbed it.Hayes fired a .45-caliber handgun numerous times. Racquel Smith was hit twice in the legs, and Will Smith once in the side and seven times in the back. Hayes and others have testified that she tried to calm her husband that night. Some prosecution witnesses say she appeared to have done so and that there was no apparent reason for Hayes to fire.On cross examination, Assistant Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Napoli repeatedly noted that no other witness said Smith had a gun and that Hayes never told investigators he saw a gun in Smiths hands that night.I never gave a full statement to anyone, Hayes said, growing testy as Napoli asked about inconsistencies in his testimony and past statements.Prosecutors also called a rebuttal witness -- a firearms expert who said there was no evidence Smith had fired a gun when he died.The first witnesses called Saturday were friends of Hayes who said he was in a good mood and was not drinking at a party before the crash. Among Saturday mornings spectators was Saints coach Sean Payton. Smith was a defensive leader on the Payton-coached Saints team that won the 2010 Super Bowl.Prosecutors rested their case Friday after nearly a week of hearing from witnesses, including Racquel Smith.She and Smiths former teammate Pierre Thomas were among prosecution witnesses who said Smiths anger seemed to have cooled before the gunfire. But Hayes passenger in the Hummer insisted that Smith and others with him were the aggressors. Luke Glendening Red Wings Jersey . "Thank you for the warm welcome," Beckham said on an 80-degree February morning. In this case, it was soccer weather. The sport moved a step closer to returning to South Florida on Wednesday, when Beckham confirmed he has exercised his option to purchase a Major League Soccer expansion franchise in Miami. Brendan Shanahan Red Wings Jersey . There are surprises among the Vezina candidates, but most of the others are standard top-tier performers, even if the two Hart Trophy runners-ups have never been quite as good as they have been through the first half of the season. http://www.redwingshockeypro.com/authentic-curtis-joseph-red-wings-jersey/ . The players spoke Jan. 13 during a Major League Baseball Players Association conference call after Rodriguez sued the union and Major League Baseball to overturn an arbitrators decision suspending him for the 2014 season and post-season.Congratulations to the following officials that have been selected by the National Hockey League to work the 2012-13 Stanley Cup Final series between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Boston Bruins: Referees: Wes McCauley, Dan OHalloran , Chris Rooney, Brad Watson Linesmen: Shane Heyer, Brian Murphy, Pierre Racicot, Jay Sharrers The majority of players from both teams and the game officials are no strangers to the excitement and pressures that surround a Cup Final. They have been there before and know what it takes to succeed. One notable exception is referee Wes McCauley, who will appear in the Final for the first time. Inclusion as a member of the Final Four referees and linesmen is a huge accomplishment. Being selected is certainly the pinnacle of every officials career and a signal to the hockey world that they are regarded as the best of the best. Referee McCauley has had a terrific playoff run by my ratings and certainly deserves his place at the top. His uncanny feel for the game (almost a lost art) allowed for the expected playoff intensity to flourish in each game he called. Most importantly, McCauley demonstrated the courage and good judgment to make the tough call at any point in the game regardless of the score or time. He did not put his whistle away! Wes McCauley is about to enter uncharted waters. The stakes are higher and the focus of the hockey world intensifies in this final round. I remember it well. No one gets to this level of proficiency without the assistance of coworkers and mentors. The night prior to my first Stanley Cup Final game, I had the good fortune of dining with the best mentor I could have hoped for. John McCauley, then Director of Officiating (Wes McCauleys father) prepared me for what to expect and instilled in me the confidence I needed to succeed. John McCauley had been a well respected referee in the NHL until his career was cut short from a sucker-punch in the eye by a drunken hockey fan from Kapuskaing, Ontario. The blow was delivered after the Soviet National Team had trounced a collection of NHL All-Stars in the third and final game of the 1979 Challenge Cup at Madison Square Garden. The Master (as John was affectionately called) was a very good communicator, was blessed with a very quick wit and terrific judgment that served him well as both a referee and following his eye injury as Director of Officiating. One time in the Boston Garden, Wayne Cashman was upset at one of McCauleys calls and told the Master he was going to shoot a puck at the refs head. John didnt bat an eye and told Cashman if that was the case he would just skate over and stand in the opponents net. From that location he wouuld be safest guy in the building if Cash was aiming for him! It was a hot and sunny afternoon in May, 1985, when I arrived in Philadelphia prior to Game 2 of the Cup Final between the Flyers and the Edmonton Oilers. Riley Sheahan Jersey. It was just my third season to have participated in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and a selection to the Final could have very easily overwhelmed me. I checked into the Hershey Hotel on Broad Street that was designated as the NHL headquarters and media hotel. The lobby was bustling with activity and swarming with members of the media; the likes of which I had never experienced. As I looked for an escape route from the lobby mob scene I was approached by my boss, John McCauley, who invited me to join him for an early dinner. Looking back on it now I believe it wasnt just by chance, but more by design, that I bumped into the Master and was invited to dinner. John wanted to make sure that I got off on the right foot by preparing me for this new experience. He truly cared about his staff; each and every one of us and was the kind of boss you would go through the wall for. After we ordered dinner, John asked me how I was feeling. I confessed to being a little nervous (understatement) but was excited about the opportunity he had given me. What John McCauley shared with me in that moment is what he would also tell his eldest son Wes if John had not passed away at just 45 years of age following the 1989 Stanley Cup Final. I now pass along the Masters words of wisdom from that conversation to Wes McCauley as he too prepares for his first appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals. "You earned the right to be here (selection to Stanley Cup Final) based on your work throughout these playoffs. I assigned you to some very tough games and you passed the test with flying colors. You have proven to me that I can put you in any situation and you will neither disappoint nor let me down. Your work made the games better. I have the utmost confidence in your ability. That confidence is being rewarded with your first selection to the Stanley Cup Final. While I know there will be many more Cup Finals in your future, take this one game at a time. Prepare yourself and officiate no differently than you have in all the other games I have assigned you to. Enjoy the moment and have fun with it. I trust in your ability and most of all I believe in you!" I have no doubt that referee Wes McCauley will do a great job in his first trip to the Stanley Cup Final. If he listens closely in his heart, I would also bet that he will hear his father whisper the same words of wisdom and vote of confidence that the Master offered me.

LONDON -- Andy Murray looked up and soaked it all in as he walked out into the O2 Arena. Marc-Edouard Vlasic Jersey . This was a new feeling.He had waited a while for it -- seven years and 89 days, to be precise, since first becoming world No. 2 in August 2009.Given a standing ovation, the Scot stepped onto court as the top ranked player in the world for the first time Monday evening. Shaking off a few early nerves, he delivered a 6-3, 6-2 win over Marin Cilic.He could only smile as the crowd showed him their love.A big thank you for all of the support. I really appreciate it, the Scot said in his on-court interview. Ill keep working hard to give you moments like this on the court.His debut as No. 1 -- the first Briton to achieve the feat since the debut of the ATP rankings in 1973 -- fittingly came on home soil, and just an hours drive from his house in Surrey, where he has opted to stay during this tournament for the first time.Murray extended his win streak to 20 matches, just two shy of his career-best total. That particular run was set this summer, and was ended by none other than Cilic in the Cincinnati Masters final.When you start winning, you gain confidence, Murray added. In the important moments of break points, I was a little bit more solid. He had some chances in the first set, but I took my opportunities. Thats what winning matches does for you.The 2014 US Open winner was a dangerous opponent, having won the title in Basel last month and recorded his first win over Novak Djokovic to reach the Paris Masters semifinals.Aside from an early break back in the first set, the Croat had no answers here, despite the presence of Murrays former assistant coach Jonas Bjorkman in his players box. Cilic and his new coach were simply unable to cook up a game plan to throw Murray off.Making the final here would push Murray to a personal-best 23rd consecutive win. He may need to make it 24, though, if he wants to finish year-end No. 1.There are several permutations whereby either he or Novak Djokovic can finish the year on top, and the simplest for Murray is to win his first Tour Finals title.It was a great atmosphere here, Murray said. I played one of my best matches Ive played here over the years. Ill just try and keep going until the end of the year now.Murray, still unbeaten in London this year having won Queens Club and Wimbledon, halted a run of three consecutive breaks to take a 4-1 lead in the first set against Cilic before taking it in 46 minutes.He then broke the Croat twice in the second set and served it out in an hour and a half.Earlier Monday, Stan Wawrinka was bounced 6-2, 6-3 by Kei Nishikori in just 67 minutes.His match stats didnt make for good reading -- failing to create a single break point, Wawrinka committed 31 unforced errors and three double faults.One of those handed Nishikori a double break and a 5-2 lead in the first set, which the Japanese player closed out in less than half an hour.The Swiss was self-deprecating with his trademark sense of humour in his post-match press conference. Asked if the quicker courts were better than last year at the O2 Arena, he quipped with a smile: So far not, because I just lost the match, but I will see at the end of the tournament.Wawrinkas serve deserted him. He made just 52 percent of first serves in the opening set, and won just 38 percent of points on his second serve throughout the match.As impressive as Nishikori was, his serve has never been his strong point but still Wawrinka was unable to capitalize. The world No. 5 made just 47 percent of his first serves, yet managed to win 74 percent of points on his second serve.Nishikori closed out the win by breaking Wawrinka for a fourth time, gaining a measure of revenge for his semifinal defeat at Flushing Meadows.It was not a great match compared to what I can do, thats for sure, added Wawrinka. It wasnt a great day for myself. In general, I think he play well, put a lot of pressure from the beginning.I dont think I find anything on the court today. I was a little bit slow on everything. I was hesitating a lot with my game, my movement. Brent Burns Sharks Jersey .Y. -- Jayna Hefford scored the winning goal Friday as Canada survived a scare with a 4-3 win over Sweden at the Four Nations womens hockey tournament. Justin Braun Sharks Jersey . Boucher previously coached the Tampa Bay Lightning and had a 97-78-20 record over two-plus seasons. He was dismissed by the team last March after the Lightning struggled in the lockout-shortened season with a 13-18-1 record.http://www.hockeysharksshop.us/Joe-Thornton-Jersey/ .Y. -- Leading 3-0 with only 11:25 left, the Colorado Avalanche committed a seemingly meaningless penalty to give the New York Islanders a power play. Coach Laurie Daley considered recalling Mitchell Pearce to the NSW side for State of Origin III but opted not to because he didnt want to expose the Sydney Roosters star to being the Blues fall guy once again.Halfback Adam Reynolds pulled out of the NSW side for game three on Wednesday due to a shoulder injury. Matt Moylan has been recalled to the Blues side, with the Penrith captain to battle it out with Jack Bird to play alongside James Maloney in the Blues halves.Pearce has often borne the brunt of criticism following a Blues series loss and that was again the case last year as NSW failed to defend the Origin shield.We considered a couple of guys but Mitch has only had that one game back and it has been a stop-start year for him so I thought it was better to leave him alone, let him concentrate on his club and finish his year off strongly, Daley said.We did consider him but I dont want to put too much pressure on Mitch. He has been the fall guy for a number of years and I dont want tto put him in that situation again, given it is a limited preparation. Marc-Edouard Vlasic Sharks Jersey. That is just me. I want to protect people.Due to his suspension for his Australia Day antics Pearce had little chance to put forward a case for Origin representation this year and Reynolds made his interstate debut in game one and followed that up in game two.Pearce suffered a calf injury three games after returning from suspension and has only played four in total this season.However with South Sydney star Reynolds sidelined as he continues to battle with the shoulder injury he suffered in game two, Pearce was an option for Daley.Daley spoke to Pearce earlier this year but didnt consult him ahead of game three.I havent spoken to Mitch but he is a guy who at his best is a tremendous player, Daley said.But with a limited preparation I didnt want to put too much pressure on him.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Justin Rose made the first hole-in-one in modern Olympic golf history Thursday, and he has his caddie to thank for it. Adam Oates Jersey .I was going to hit 8-iron and [my caddie] told me 7-iron, and I went with him for a change, said Rose, referring to his caddie, Mark Fooch Fulcher. Fooch can have that one.The eagle on the 189-yard hole put the Team Great Britain member at 3 under early in his round. He finished at 4 under and is tied for fourth as he trails Australian?Marcus Fraser, who shot an 8-under 63.Definitely one of those icing-on-the-cake moments, Rose said. When youre the first to do anything, no one can ever take that away from you, whatever it is. That was definitely a cool moment.Rose, the 2013 U.S. Open champion who is ranked 12th in the world, couldnt see the ball go in for his ace.It was one of those ... almost like an infinity edge where the pin wasnt where the cup sets and where the back edge falls off the green, Rose said. So it was either in or it was off the back edge. And the way reaction was from the few people up around the green, [I] figured that it went in and not over the back.Playing alongside American Rickie Fowler and Venezuelas Jhonattan Vegas, Rose played holes 3, 4 and 5 in 4 under, including the ace at No. 4.If you look at the leaderboard, loads are in contention, said Rose, as 33 of the 60 players in the field finished at even par or better. I always knew it was going to be the kind of golf course that was going to have a big spread, because its not an easy golf course, but there are a lot of opportunities, if that makes sense. ... Theres a lot of easy holes and a lot of really tough holes, so its always going to spread out the field.... Obviously you see some of the other sports, and you realize that you cant win a gold medal on the first day. You have swimming heats and elimination rounds, and its all about keeping pace and keeping it in until the time comes.Team Great Britain teammate Danny Willett shot an even-par 71 and is tied for 27th after the opening 18 holes. The reigning Masters champion bogeyed two of his final five holes to end his opening round.Marc Savard Jersey .J. -- Josh Cribbs was in the Pro Bowl in February and out of a job six months later. David Backes Jersey .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again. http://www.thebostonbruinshockey.com/terry-oreilly-hockey-jersey/ . Gerald Green and Miles Plumlee? Green had bounced around the NBA when he wasnt playing overseas. The Pacers gave up on Plumlee after just one season. Now Green and Plumlee are key cogs in the Suns surprising breakout season. TORONTO -- Phil Kessel, who was left off the Team USA roster for the World Cup of Hockey, on Wednesday said his tweet after the Americans were eliminated was not directed at the teams players.Of course it wasnt directed at the players, Kessel said in a text to ESPN. I know how tough it is to play the game. It wasnt directed at anyone.Kessel, who won a Stanley Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins?in June, took to Twitter following Team USAs 4-2 loss to Team Canada on Tuesday night.Team USA players David Backes, Derek Stepan and Zach Parise addressed Kessels comment on Wednesday and said they hoped it wasnt directed at the players.I understand theres hard feelings iif you werent picked for the team or whatever, but the comments are, I think -- as a team guy and as a guy that stands by my teammates, win lose or draw -- its a little distasteful and aggravating, Backes said. Johnny Bucyk Bruins Jersey. Its disappointing. Those comments dont get lost in the fray, and those comments are there and have been read and I think will be remembered when whatever happens going forward happens going forward.Backes signed with Boston?as a free agent this summer, and the Bruins will face the Penguins on Dec. 14 at Pittsburgh.

Garcia and Davis have a long history, including stints working together with the Hurricanes and then the?Cleveland Browns.Davis spent six seasons as Miamis coach from 1995 through 2000, then left for the Browns -- stepping away from a Hurricanes team that dominated its way to the 2001 national championship under Larry Coker.When Turner was fired after an 0-4 start this season, Garcia didnt want to consult with Davis this time. He was widely considered to be the immediate front-runner for the position, and now the deal is done.Davis also coached foor four seasons at North Carolina, getting fired just before the team opened practice for the 2011 season while the school dealt with allegations of improper benefits and academic misconduct.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota running back Shannon Brooks has been cleared to return after missing the first two games with a broken right foot. Lars Eller Jersey.Whether Brooks will play Saturday against Colorado State depends on how he fares in practice. Coach Tracy Claeys said Tuesday that if Brooks is sore, the Gophers wont take a chance on him this week.Brooks led the team in rushing as a freshman last season with 709 yards, averaging 6.0 yards per attempt, and seven touchdowns. The Gophers are plenty deep at the position, with sophomore Rodney Smith and junior-college transfer Kobe McCrary sharing the load over the first two games.Claeys also said cornerbacks KiAnte Hardin and Ray Buford, safety Dior Johnson and defensive end Tamarion Johnson remain suspended for an unspecified violation of team policy.

Mixed martial arts fighters often excel in a particular discipline or possess a certain attribute that makes them stand out in the Octagon. But what if those individual areas of excellence and superior attributes could all be compiled to make up the?perfect fighter?In an attempt to bring that idea of the best all-round fighter to life, a panel of in-house MMA experts voted on fighters who best represent 10 featured traits, collectively crafting their perfect version. Only current male fighters were considered, as a female version will follow soon.Editorial note:?Jon Jones was nominated in six of the 10 categories -- more than any other fighter. And yet, while theres no doubt Jones is among the most athletic and well-rounded fighters of his generation, he didnt finish better than second place in the voting of any one category.Artwork done by Todd Detwiler, special to ESPN. Descriptions written by Brett Okamoto.Brain: Dominick CruzWhether its behind the desk as an analyst or inside the UFC Octagon, Cruz has proven time and again that he has the sharpest mind in the game. His style of fighting is uniquely his own, although it borrows from several of his historical favorites -- including the late, great Muhammad Ali.Runner-up: Conor McGregorChin: Roy NelsonNelsons chin (and overall toughness) defies science. Nelson set a statistical record in June 2013 by absorbing 106 significant strikes in his UFC 161 bout with Stipe Miocic -- without being knocked out. Keep in mind one significant strike from Miocic is usually enough to drop another man (or any other living creature). Nelson took 106.Runner-up: Nate DiazHeart: Frankie EdgarEdgars survival of horrific opening rounds in back-to-back title fights against Gray Maynard in 2011 will go down in infamy -- as should his ability to fight through a nasty Benson Henderson upkick in 2012. When push comes to shove, Edgar is simply a machine. He has never been finished in an 11-year career and seemingly never taken a round off.Runner-up: Jon JonesLeft hand: Conor McGregorNo one is a bigger fan of McGregors left hand than McGregor himself. He is quite proud of it -- for good reason. He has finished 85 percent of his wins by knockout, and the left hand has played a starring role in the majority of those. Thats the same left hand, of coursse, that knocked out the legendary Jose Aldo?in just 13 seconds in 2015. Braden Holtby Capitals Jersey. Runner-up: Robbie LawlerRight hand: Anthony JohnsonFrankly, there is nothing in the sport right now quite like the knockout power of Anthony Kewoa Johnson. He is consistently napping durable, 205-pound men like Alexander Gustafsson and Glover Teixeira. He owns the scariest right hand there is, especially following the retirement of Dan Hendersons patented H-Bomb.Runner-up: Stipe MiocicWrestling: Daniel CormierCormiers amateur wrestling resume is quite lengthy, and it has translated well to the cage. Weve seen him pick up larger men -- like the 250-pound Josh Barnett -- and somersault them through the air. It has also played an obvious role in him winning (and defending) the UFC light heavyweight championship.Runner-up: Jon JonesKicks: Jose AldoPicture an axe ... turning lumber into kindling. Aldos knockout reel is impressive, but it has always been his vicious, damage-inducing leg kicks that have made audiences wince most.?Runner-up: Luke RockholdKnees: Alistair OvereemPrevious opponents have described Overeems knees in the way one might describe a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The Dutch kickboxer has had more than 50 professional fights, and those knees have come into play in just about every single one.Runner-up: Anderson SilvaSpeed: Demetrious JohnsonIt almost feels criminal to acknowledge Johnsons speed and nothing else. Every aspect of the flyweight champions game is impressive, but it should be noted this nod to Johnsons speed applies to more than the traditional definition. The speed in his transitions, reaction times and combinations is all impressive.Runners-up: Dominick Cruz and John DodsonSubmission: Demian MaiaEver since Maia broke into the UFC in 2007 with three consecutive bonus-winning submissions, he has been viewed as one of the most dangerous grapplers in the sport. Nothing in the nine years since has changed that narrative, and in fact, Maia has only gotten better at wrestling opponents to the floor to use his distinguished grappling skill.

ATLANTA -- Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson says hes not fretting about his job security. Jason Garrison Lightning Jersey .Yet, its clearly on his mind.He certainly didnt shy away from it Tuesday.When asked during his weekly news conference whether an upset win at Virginia Tech helped ease some of the disappointments of the past two seasons, Johnson used the opportunity to staunchly defend his record with the Yellow Jackets.Truthfully, Ive never worried about that stuff, Johnson said, turning the question into a referendum on his nine seasons at the Atlantic Coast Conference school. If they think they can get somebody better, they ought to go get `em. Thats certainly their right.Georgia Tech went 3-9 a year ago and endured a three-game losing streak this season, but the Yellow Jackets (6-4, 3-4 ACC) became bowl eligible with a 30-20 victory over then-No. 18 Virginia Tech last weekend.They face Virginia (2-8, 1-5) in their home finale Saturday, before closing the regular season at state rival Georgia.My job is to try to take the players that we have and make them be the best they can be -- make sure theyre going to school, make sure theyre graduating and staying out of trouble, Johnson said. Do you want to win every game? Yeah. Do you want to win the league? Yeah. But if you look back and youre realistic, historically that hasnt happened every year here.There has been plenty of speculation about Johnsons future, especially with Georgia Tech bringing on a new athletic director, Todd Stansbury. The coach has also faced persistent questions about his run-oriented, triple-option offense, with some critics saying it prevents the Yellow Jackets from recruiting elite players on that side of the ball.The coach insists the complaints are largely driven by the media.I think the speculation is you guys, Johnson told reporters. I might live in a cave, but I dont see it. I dont get it from our administration. I dont get it from our fan base. I dont get it from our alumni. I see where you guys write about it in the paper, or they talk about it on the radio. But, like I said, I dont worry about that. It wouldnt do me any good to worry about it.Johnsons record at Georgia Tech is 67-48, including a 41-30 mark in the ACC. The Yellow Jackets have reached the conference championship game three times, winning in 2009 even though the crown was later vacated because of NCAA violations.In 2014, Georgia Tech went 11-3 and defeated Mississippi State in the Orange Bowl for its first victory in a major bowl since the 1960s.Outside of that dismal showing in 2015, the Yellow Jackets have largely played up to their potential, Johnson believes, and dealt as well as they could with some of the limitations caused by academics, budget constraints and the difficulty of drawing fans in the crowded Atlanta market.We had one really rough season, Johnson said. We got everybody hurt and went 3-9.Stansbury, a former Georgia Tech player, is set to take over as athletic director at the end of the month. He is sure to face plenty of questions about his relationship with the 59-year-old Johnson and whether someone else is better suited to guide the program.Ive talked to Todd one time: the day he got hired. We traded texts on Saturday, Johnson said. Once again, thats kind of media driven on how this is going to be a huge change. I mean, Im going to coach the football team and I guess hes going to be the athletic director. I would imagine if he wanted another football coach, hell go get one. Thats the way it works.

BEREA, Ohio -- Robert Griffin IIIs comeback cracked. Ryan Murray Jersey .Clevelands quarterback curse strikes again.Griffin broke a bone in his left shoulder during the fourth quarter of Sundays 29-10 loss at Philadelphia and will miss at least eight games -- and potentially the season -- with an injury that leaves the Browns muddled QB situation as jumbled as ever.The franchises 25th starting quarterback since 1999, Griffin, who signed with the Browns as a free agent in March in hopes of reviving a career that fizzled in Washington, got hurt while trying to run out of bounds.Griffin was nearing the sideline when he was struck by Eagles rookie defensive back Jalen Mills, who delivered a blow to the QBs chest area.Its football and these things happen, Browns first-year coach Hue Jackson said. Its unfortunate but it does happen in this sport.But it seems to happen at an inordinate rate to the Browns, who have been unable to find any stability at the games most important position for nearly two decades.Griffin stayed in the game, but an MRI on Monday revealed that he broke the coracoid bone in his shoulder.Griffin, who sustained a serious knee injury at the end of his rookie season with the Redskins, does not need surgery at this time and will be evaluated in 3 to 4 weeks.The Browns placed Griffin on injured reserve -- under new NFL rules he can brought off the list -- and he could return at some point in 2016.But theres no guarantee that will happen and the 26-year-old has sustained another setback to a career filled with promise when he burst into the NFL as a dual-threat QB in 2012.Hes been through a lot, Jackson said. He gets it. He understands its unfortunate that it happened. He worked extremely hard. But he also understands that theres a bigger plan.Sometimes hes not in control of everything, and it was unfortunate that it happened. But I think hes seen enough situations and been in enough in this league to understand that things happen in due time and that youve got to work through this and be prepared when the next opportunity comes.Jackson didnt accuse Mills of a dirty hit, and said the timing was such that Griffin, who was also slightly pushed from cornerback Ron Brooks, couldnt avoid contact.I dont think the guy was trying to hurt Robert, Jackson said.The guy was out of bounds himself and I think he reacted to this player running at him and at the last minute, I think they both seen each other and that was the reaction.Despite being injured and in obvious pain, Griffin, who was checked by Clevelands medical staff when he got to the sideline, returned to the field for the final series. While favoring his left arm, Griffin only handed the ball off.He wanted to be out there with his teammates, Jackson said. I dont think anybody knew to the extent of the injury. Were all tough guys, we go out there and play and we want to stay out there with our teammates and finish the game. Thats a credit to Robert.With Griffin out, veteran Josh McCown will start this weeks home opener against Baltimore. McCown, who coincidentally sustained a concussion on the opening drive in his debut with Cleveland last season, went 1-7 in eight starts but passed for 457 yards in a win over the Ravens.McCown was the subject of trade talks during the offseason, but the Browns are glad they hung on to him.Thats why we kept Josh here, because he knows how to play and hes been in this league and understands our offense and what were trying to accomplish, Jackson said.Its unfortunate that this happened to Robert, but it is comforting to know that we have a guy thats played in NFL games and knows how to manage games.McCown is excited by his new chance, but not at the expense of seeing Griffin get hurt.Its just heartbreaking because I know how much he wants to be out there with his guys fighting for his team, McCown said.The nearly constant turnover at quarterback has hindered the Browns from winning or developing any stability. The injuries havent helped.Its been pretty bad luck, McCown said. It hasnt gone well. For whatever reason, its just not gotten right.Adding insult to injury, the Browns were beaten Sunday by Eagles rookie quarterback Carson Wentz, who shined in his debut.The Browns passed on a chance to take Wentz and traded the No. 2 overall pick to Philadelphia, but Jackson said the team isnt second-guessing that decision.That was one game, and he played well, Jackson said. Well look back and see where he is over a period of time, but the Browns gotta get better.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-NFL Nick Foligno Jersey .

Djokovic downs Murray Report as world number one claims Grand Slam number 11 Will the big four still be in place by the 2017 Australian Open? We asked Sky Sports expert Barry Cowan to assess the major talking points from the Melbourne Slam.Heres what Cowan expects to see in the season ahead… Will Djokovic complete a clean sweep of Grand Slams?Hes the best clay court player, the best grass court player, and the best hard court player. Hes head-and-shoulders above everyone. But we dont know what the rest of 2016 holds. Does he get an injury? Does he suffer a surprising loss that affects his confidence? The Wizard of Oz A look at Djokovics six Melbourne victories Hes entering his peak and has areas of his game that can get better. But mentally he is at the top of his sport. There are very few people that have an aura and can smell fear, come out of the traps and impose themselves. His self-belief has rocketed.As is the case with any great sportsmen or women, they dont let leads go. Andy Murray played well in the second and third sets of the Australian Open final but the damage had been done because he was chasing.Is time running out for Federer to win a 18th Grand Slam?Hes playing great tennis - its as good now as its ever been. But his belief that he can beat Djokovic is getting lower and lower with every passing match between them. I was disappointed in how Federer approached the semi-final against Djokovic - he was reactive and cant keep a high level of performance sustained for a long period. Roger Federer acknowledges the crowd after losing his semi-final against Novak Djokovic The competition above Federer has increased because Novak is playing tennis like weve never seen before and it makes the top guys uncomfortable. Its different to how Roger and Pete Sampras played.Roger hasnt shown me anything in the last year in the really big matches that he can play free-flowing tennis under pressure against Novak. Until he does that, Novak will start every match between them as the favourite.Can Raonic repeat his impressive run to the semi-final?Hes someone I always felt would win a Slam. I doubted myself three monthss ago but you have to look at the bigger picture. Pierre-Luc Dubois Blue Jackets Jersey. Milos Raonic is an improving force in the mens game He has an incredible serve and a great forehand. At 6 5 he can impose his game on the best players. Above all, he has an attitude where he wants to be the best. The turning point was a few years ago against Murray when he was taken to the cleaners, he realised that the way he was trying to play wasnt productive against the big four.He plays a different style of tennis from the top guys - hes coming to the net more, hes aggressive although his backhand is improving, it is still a weakness against the best. Hell be back in the worlds top eight and theres no reason why he cant consistently be in the latter stages of Grand Slams. Petchey: Murray closer Andy Murray is within touching distance of Novak Djokovic How can Murray keep pace with Djokovic?Andys in a great place, he did tremendously well to reach the final after the emotions of the past two weeks. To beat him, you have to play your very best for three out of five sets.But Murray must find other ways in his game to make life uncomfortable against Novak. He cant beat Novak at his own game. Can he do that? Absolutely, hes done it before to win the US Open and Wimbledon finals. He leaves no stone unturned in his power to become the best player he can possibly be.And finally… Jamie Murray is a Grand Slam winner.Third-time lucky for Jamie, brilliant. Hes riding high, hes now No 2 in the world in doubles. There was a risk when he changed partners. I wondered if it was worth that risk but it absolutely has been. They combine styles and it helps that theyve been friendly off the court for a number of years.Theres a gap at the top of the doubles game. No team have been able to dominate the past couple of years, the Bryan brothers are on the slide - theyre not as good as they were.

Teddy Purcell Oilers Jersey . -- Jimmy Walkers first PGA Tour trophy came with a special gift tucked inside. http://www.hockeyoilersshop.com/grant-fuhr-jersey/ . -- Yogi Ferrell orchestrates pretty much everything in Indianas offence. PITTSBURGH -- The greatest tight end in Pittsburgh Steelers history is retired, off being a dad back in his native Virginia. Heath Millers replacement, Ladarius Green, is out indefinitely while nursing health issues that wont seem to go away.In their stead are a pair of works in progress in Jesse James and Xavier Grimble and an old veteran in David Johnson who basically doubles as a sixth offensive lineman. And the Steelers have not missed a beat. At all.There Grimble was stretching over the goal line in the second quarter during Sundays win over Cincinnati for his first touchdown since his junior year at USC in 2013. There the 6-foot-7 James was reaching into the air in the third quarter for a 9-yard score of his own. There was Johnson chugging ahead of DeAngelo Williams, opening space on the edge.Who said tight end was going to be the lone weakness on one of the NFLs best offenses? Certainly not the Steelers, who are 2-0 for the first time in six years, which also happens to be the last time they reached the Super Bowl.We were never planning on our role being diluted down, James said. But we feel good about how weve developed and tried to fit into what the coaches want us to do.Namely, a little bit of everything. With periods of heavy rain turning Heinz Field into a bit of a boggy soup at times and the Bengals dead set on shadowing wide receiver Antonio Brown all over the field, James and Grimble found themselves a part of the game plan.James finished with three receptions for 29 yards and has already matched the entire output of his rookie season (eight catches) in just two weeks.Yet James has been downright prolific next to Grimble, who went undrafted in 2014 and bounced from the New York Giants to the New England Patriots to the San Francisco 49ers in search of a regular job, to little avail. Pittsburgh signed him to a futures contract last January, though he understood what he was up against after the Steelers signed Green to a four-year deal in the offseason and brought back Johnson to join Jammes. Andrej Sekera Oilers Jersey Authentic. If Green was healthy, Grimble may be out of work. Yet hes doing more than simply occupying a roster spot. Hes thriving. The player never known for having the best hands found himself lined up in one-on-one coverage in the second quarter on Sunday, beat his man to the inside, caught the ball at the 5, stepped out of a tackle and had remembered to get the ball over the goal line before his knees touched the ground.Grimble, however, hardly got caught up in the moment. He gave the ball up and headed to the sideline. Only a heads up by one of his teammates to retrieve it allowed the ball to be in display in Grimbles locker on Monday. There may be more on the way. Green hardly appears ready to return to work and Grimbles play -- he added a difficult shoestring catch in the third quarter to help set up James touchdown -- gives Roethlisberger yet another option.Bens always done a good job of working with us, Grimble said. In practice he will look for us on certain plays even if we arent the first option because he wants us to be ready. I knew when I saw the safety across from me and the coverage that there was a chance (the touchdown pass) was coming my way.Johnson even chipped in rare 5-yard reception on a day Pittsburghs tight ends proved to be more valuable to fantasy owners than Brown. Johnsons real value, however, lies in the running game and in his leadership. He spent five years in Pittsburgh from 2009-13 as a backup to Miller and has given the young guys around him someone to lean on. Individually, none of them has Miller or Greens unique skill set. Collectively, though, they believe they can be just as effective.It means a lot to our group as a tight end group to be able to make plays when were counted on, James said. It shows that were proving ourselves.---AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL coverage on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL 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 ' ' '

You hear this a lot when it comes to setting your roster during the playoffs of the fantasy football season: Start your studs. Patrick Maroon Jersey . Dont overthink it. Dance with the ones who brought you there, metaphorically speaking. In Week 14, two of the true studs in fantasy football this season, Chargers running back Melvin Gordon and Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones, either had their Sunday cut short because of injury (Gordon) or saw it end before it even began because of injury (Jones). Its not often that waiver-wire adds entering Week 15 can be difference-makers for your team, but injuries can lead to opportunity.The next players up for those respective roles are among the names to note in the Week 15 ESPN Fantasy wavier-wire column.Note: All players who appear in this column are owned in less than 50 percent of leagues on ESPN.com.Bilal Powell, RB, New York Jets (37.2 percent). Perhaps at some point this offseason Ill take the time to scroll through each version of the waiver-wire column, as my guess for the player who appeared on it most frequently is Powell. Well, expect him to bolt past the 50 percent barometer after a 29-carry, 145-yard, two-touchdown effort in Week 14. Matt Forte left the game early because of a knee injury and the Jets are in evaluation for the future mode. If Forte doesnt return this season, Powell is a top-20 running back the rest of the way and a must-add.Kenneth Farrow, RB, San Diego Chargers (0.5 percent). The undrafted free agent out of Houston took over as the workhorse for San Diego following Gordons early injury, toting the football 16 times for 55 yards while adding six catches for 23 yards. We dont yet know how much time Gordon will miss due to a hip injury, but with three games left in the season and virtually no shot at the playoffs, San Diego might elect to take the long view and not rush him back. Farrow is a must-add in all-size leagues.Kenneth Dixon, RB, Baltimore Ravens (45.8 percent). The Ravens rookie impressed on Monday night, totaling 19 touches for 81 yards and a touchdown. Hes a tackle-breaker who is adept in the passing game (eight catches in Week 14). He does not have the starting job unto himself in Baltimore, but he looks like their most well-rounded option. Hes an add for anyone who needs running back depth, and he has increased value in a points per reception league.Ty Montgomery, RB/WR, Green Bay Packers (34.9 percent). By the eye test, the best running back on the Packers roster is Montgomery, who found the end zone in Week 14 and has earned the right to stay involved going forward. Of course, Montgomery carries multi-position value (he remains eligible as a wide receiver) and should be added for any owner in need of a potential fill-in at either spot. Although he has moved into a running back role, Montgomery has at least two catches in eight straight games (including 10 catches in consecutive games in the final games of October for Green Bay). Hes a useful option in PPR scoring.Dontrelle Inman, WR, San Diego Chargers (27.0 percent). Another regular in this column, Inman just keeps on keeping on for the Chargers receiving crew. He has scored a touchdown in three straight games and has maintained a steady role throughout the season; he leads the team in wide receiver snaps and has at least 50 receiving yards or a touchdown in seven of his past 10 games. Hes an add who merits flex consideration for anyone in a 12-team or larger league.Pierre Garcon, WR, Washington (43.8 percent). If you play in a points per reception league, Garcon might be long gone. But if for some reason hes available, act swiftly to pick him up. The ultra-reliable wideout has 34 grabs over his past six games and found the end zone in Week 14. Washington is going to throw it a ton and next hosts Carolina in Week 15. There isnt a matchup on the remaining schedule that scares you. In a deeper league, Garcon is a PPR starter. In a 12-team league, hes on the flex radar.Marqise Lee, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars (6.7 percent). A bright spot during a downtrodden Jacksonville season, Lee has made his mark in this offense. He has at least 50 receiving yards or a touchdown in five of the past six games and is coming off a five-catch, 113-yard effort in Week 14. Lee is a former second-round pick who has put it together this year and is a worthwhile flex consideration in a league with 12 or more teams.Dwayne Washington, RB, Detroit Lions (5.8 percent). Theo Riddick was a surprise scratch in Week 14, so one could expect him to be back this Sunday, while Zach Zenner departed the teams last game with an apparent injury. Until we know for sure that either could play in Week 15, Washington is a speculative deeper-league add for a desperate owner in need of a running back. He led the team with 16 carries in Week 14 and could continue to be the lead back this Sunday against the Giants.Robby Anderson, WR, New York Jets (1.6 percent). We wrote about Anderson last week as a stash player in keeper leagues, and that sentiment holds true this week if you are looking ahead to 2017. But if you are still in the playoffs and in need of a volume flex option, Anderson fits. He has 10 catches for 160 yards and a touchdown on 23 targets over the past two games, staying busy as the Jets passing game tries to find its footing with Bryce Petty under center. Hes a risk-reward play for those in a deeper league.Jermaine Gresham, TE, Arizona Cardinals (12.4 percent). The tight end position has been so incredibly unpredictable this season, especially with injuries to Rob Gronkowski and Jordan Reed (the latter of which limited his production in Week 14). So if youre in need of a fill-in whose floor has risen in recent weeks, Gresham is a worthwhile consideration. He has five catches in three straight games and two touchdowns in that same span.Matt Asiata, RB, Minnesota Vikings (44.0 percent). The pickings are slim on the waiver wire at this time of the year, so there will probably be some Melvin Gordon or Matt Forte owners who are unable to grab the aforementioned backs on this list. Asiata doesnt have a ton of upside -- he hasnt surpassed 55 rushing yards in a game this season -- but he has a touchdown in three of his past four games. If you need a plug-in back and miss on other options, keep Asiata on the radar. Ben Scrivens Oilers Jersey . LOUIS -- St. Andrew Ference Jersey .
