Modeled after the the sneaker that Kobe wore himself in between the time that he was dropped from adidas and signed with Nike, the sneaker features a Los Angeles Lakers home color palette of white, tour yellow, and concord. Typically, Air Jordans resell for considerably more than they retailed for, but how much more? Some may not be as much as you'd expect, and you don't want to get ripped off. And if the price seems too good to be true, it just might be. While it's not a foolproof method, knowing the average value that a sneaker is selling for is one of the best ways of weeding out fakes. The Air Jordan 9 was the first Air Jordan sneaker released after MJ retired from the NBA for the first time. Designed by Tinker Hatfield, they feature a dynamic-Fit inner bootie, encapsulated Air-Sole unit in the forefoot with a large volume Air-Sole unit in the heel.

Wikipedia definition: Peace is a condition of amicability portrayed by the absence of vicious clash. Regularly comprehended as the nonattendance of threatening vibe, the foundation of balance, and a working political request that serves the genuine interests of all.

Oxford Dictionaries: Conflict is a genuine difference or contention, a delayed outfitted battle, a perspective in which a man encounters a conflict of contradicting emotions or necessities. A genuine contrariness between at least two feelings, standards, or interests.

A tranquil work environment then may resemble a space where every worker has the privilege to talk, without dread of backlash, reality as they see it, in a domain that is free from feedback and judgment.

How might you move from a conflictual working environment to a serene work environment? This can happen when partnerships and their workers find a way to create and cultivate a domain that grasps struggle to the point of settling the issue through an intervened procedure. The outcomes accomplished can be surprising. Actualizing a procedure of intervention in an enterprise mitigates mistaken assumptions of desires, reveals the worries on all sides, brings lucidity on how choices are determined and guarantees that the right people are included in basic leadership.

In spite of the fact that idea to be a final resort before or amid a grievance or prosecution, intervention can be utilized at any level of contention. It is not only a fruitful instrument in high clash circumstances; intervention can be utilized to connect the comprehension between (at least two) people. Intervention can be used at the very onset, before recording any formal debate documentation.

Working environments furnish a domain with numerous flow that can add to struggle - age, sex, culture, identity, strife styles, abilities, preparing and educational encounters are quite recently a portion of the contributing components. Add to this a quick paced workplace and the test of attempting to remain on top of the opposition, it is little ponder strife has ascended in the work environment in the course of recent years.

Australias coach Darren Lehmann has said Glenn Maxwell was never in contention for the Adelaide Test against South Africa because he had not made enough big scores in recent seasons. Amari Cooper Raiders Jersey . On Thursday, Maxwell expressed his disappointment that he had been overlooked for the Adelaide Test, and also that he had been stuck batting behind wicketkeeper and captain Matthew Wade in Victorias Sheffield Shield side this year.His comments have drawn the ire of Victoria team-mate Rob Quiney, who said Maxwell had displayed not the greatest attitude and needed to lip it and just make some runs. And Lehmann, who has the task of coaching Maxwell and Wade during the upcoming ODI series against New Zealand, said Maxwell needed more runs in order to push for Test selection.No. Because he hasnt made 100 for the last two years. You need to make 100, Lehmann said in Sydney on Friday when asked if Maxwell had been close to a call-up in Adelaide. Are you going to pick a bloke that hasnt made 100 for two years?It is true that Maxwell has not made a Sheffield Shield century since February 2014, when he struck two in succession, although his limited-overs commitments for Australia mean he has played in only nine completed Shield games since then. He also posted a first-class 140 for Yorkshire in the County Championship in August last year.Lehmann said that while it was disappointing that Maxwell had chosen a public forum for his comments on batting below Wade, he was confident the Australian camp could put the problem behind them.Were obviously disappointed but well work through those issues, Lehmann said. Were confident they can work together.Meanwhile Quiney, who has not played a Sheffield Shield match this summer, pulled no punches when asked about Maxwells comments on Wade and the batting order.I think he needs to lip it and just make some runs, Quiney said on EON Sports radio on Friday. Victoria are flying at the moment, but hes not setting the world on fire himself. Hes actually only batted at six twice so I dont know where this has come from. Its good that hes honest, unfortunately its probably not the greatest attitude to have, I reckon.Former Victoria captain Darren Berry also slammed Maxwells decision to make such comments in public, telling SEN radio: Thats me, me, me stuff isnt it? Its a team sport and hes batting at six. Cameron Whites batting behind him at seven. Cameron White didnt come out and criticise Matthew Wade [...] you just dont do it.It has been a fraught year for Maxwell, who has not been part of Australias ODI XI since June in the West Indies, despite being named the teams ODI Cricketer of the Year in January. He also asked for a transfer to New South Wales during the off-season but was blocked by Victoria, who then left him out of their XI for the first Shield match of the summer. Howie Long Jersey . Philadelphia is 2-0 against the Senators this season and scored five goals in each victory. The Flyers recorded a 5-0 win in Ottawa on Nov. 12 and then earned a 5-2 home decision on Nov. 19. The Flyers have claimed three straight and four of the last five encounters with the Sens overall and Philly has won two in a row and three of its past four tests in Canadas capital city.

Schenn scored the game-winning goal and added two assists to lead the Philadelphia Flyers to a 4-1 win over the Calgary Flames at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Tuesday. http://www.shoptheraidersonline.com/Elite-David-Sharpe-Raiders-Jersey/ . Belfort (24-10) needed just 77 seconds to down Henderson in the headlining bout of Saturdays "UFC Fight Night: Belfort vs. Henderson" event at Goiania Arena in Goiania, Brazil. The fight served as a rematch of the pairs 2006 meeting, which Henderson won by decision.South Africa have brought two new faces into the starting XV for their clash against Italy at Stadio Artemio Franchi on Saturday. Following the withdrawal of Eben Etzebeth, who picked up a concussion against England at Twickenham, Pieter-Steph du Toit has switched from flanker into the second row, and his spot on the side of the scrum is taken by Nizaam Carr.In the backs, veteran Bryan Habana replaces JP Pietersen on the left wing, with the Toulon speedster looking to chase down Daisuke Ohata for the most Test tries in history. Habanas 66 tries on the international stage is three behind the former Japan international. Carr featured as a replacement in South Africas 37-21 loss to England last week, and Oupa Mahoje comes in to fill his vacancy on the bench. Lourens Adriaanse loses out to Trevor Nyakane in the second of three changes to the substitutes, with Elton Jantjies selected at the expense of Lions team-mate Lionel Mapoe.The Boks are in desperate need of a win in Florence. Last weeks loss to Eddie Jones side came off the back of a disappointing Rugby Championship during which they were thrashed 57-15 by the All Blacks, and the 2007 World Cup champions have now lost five of their last six internationals. Bryan Habana has scored 66 tries for the Springboks in 123 Tests The recent record has piled pressure on coach Allister Coetzee, but in the wake of their Twickenham humbling, the Bok boss insisted he has drawn comfort from his sides efforts. Gareon Conley Womens Jersey. I always look at when a team gives up, then Id say the Springboks have lost their aura.

Four teams faced off at the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Americas Minor Championship in Atlanta to determine which would represent the Americas at the ELeague Major Qualifier. Kenny Britt Jersey . Once the dust settled, Immortals and Cloud9 emerged victorious, with the former dominating the competition, while the latter fought tooth and nail to make it through.Immortals go undefeatedImmortals didnt drop a map on either day of competition and will be one of the two teams making it to the offline qualifier on Dec. 15. The road there wasnt paved with rainbows and roses, though, with the first game against Team SoloMid going the distance. Early on in the first half, it looked like TSM was going to waltz to a win, sporting a 7-2 lead after nine rounds. But then Immortals came alive and closed the gap before kicking it into high gear in the second half, winning nine of the remaining 11 rounds to take the map by a score of 16-14. Joao felps Vasconcellos led Immortals with a strong 26/18 KD (kill/death ratio) and game-high 97.8 ADR (average damage per round).Cloud9 brute forces forwardCloud9 started its run at the Americas Qualifier against Muffin Lightning in a matchup of North American hopefuls. While the first half was a bit closer than would be expected (Cloud9 took a close 9-6 lead into the half), Muffin Lightning couldnt catch up in the second half. Tyler Skadoodle Latham came up huge with a 25/6 KD and a 110.6ADR. No member of Muffin had a positive KD, making the extreme mismatch all the more obvious.Immortals were matched up with Cloud9 in the winners final to see who would be first to make it out of the minor. Cloud9 got off to a quick 7-1 start and looked poised to easily take the first game on Cobblestone, but just like their previous match, Immortals geared up the pressure late. The second game, which was played on Dust 2, would see Immortals get off to a hot start, ending the first half with a 10-5 lead. Cloud9 tried to make it interesting late in the second half, working the deficit down to just three rounds, but Immortals stabilized and won the next two rounds to take the map and series. Henrique hen1 Teles put up a strong 41/25 KD in the series to lead his team to the Major Qualifier.Cloud9 had one last shot to make it when it took on TSM in the losers final. Cloud9 showed no mercy in a 16-3 win on Train in Game 1. Manning the ship was autimatic, who put his poor series against Immortals out of his mind and tallied a strong 26/11 KD and ridiculous 117.2 ADR. Game 2 on Cache ended up being a bit closer than expected given how the first half went. TSM won the first three rounds, but then Cloud9 won 11 of the next 12 rounds to take an 11-4 lead into the half. TSM wouldnt go quietly into the night, however, as the team put together a nice 8-1 run of their own to tie things up at 12 rounds apiece. That solid run ended at the hands of Jordan n0thing Gilbert, who put together a brilliant performance in the final four rounds to help Cloud9 secure the win and their spot in the Major Qualifier. Alec Ogletree Rams Jersey . Nathan MacKinnon, Jamie McGinn and Jan Hejda also scored for the Avalanche, who won despite being outshot 38-23. MacKinnons goal, also on the power play, came with just over a minute remaining. Gerald Everett Rams Jersey .

The four All-Star teams will play for $100,000 in prize money during TSNs annual skins game, airing live this weekend on TSN from The Fenlands Banff Recreation Centre. http://www.theramslockroom.com/kurt-warner-rams-jersey/ . -- The boos poured down on Tom Brady and the New England Patriots at the end of a horrible first half.Sky Sports commentator Martin Tyler has been busy looking into your questions and has come up with the answers on topics including hat-tricks, top-four finishes and scoring 20 goals in a season. How to send your questions to Martin:1: Email your posers to skysportsclub@bskyb.com 2. Tweet @SkyFootball using the hashtag #TylersTeasersMartins starting statsI was at Wembley on Tuesday night and saw England continue their run of not beating the Dutch since the famous 4-1 win at Euro 96. Holland are unbeaten in the last seven against England - four draws and three wins, all in England (2-0 at White Hart Lane, 2001, 3-2 at Wembley, 2012 and 2-1 this week).The Dutch goals were the first England have conceded with John Stones on the pitch (eight matches).Jamie Vardy scored the 100th goal under Roy Hodgson in his 49th game in charge. Including penalty-shoot-outs as defeats, it was his eighth defeat in those 49 matches.England conceded the 80th penalty in their history of which 55 have been scored. Vincent Janssen found the net from the spot on his first start for the Netherlands. He is the top scorer in the Eredivisie and this was his first call-up.Interestingly, he is the son of two world champion swimmers - and it was very wet at Wembley on Tuesday!! By being asked to take the penalty he was thrown in at the deep end!!All to play four? West Ham are aiming to mount a late top four push How often does a team outside of the top four on April 1 finish in the top four come the end of the season? John (Islington)MARTIN SAYS: The bad news for West Ham and Manchester United, who start April outside the top four, is that this is not a very common occurrence. In fact we have seen only four teams outside the top four on April 1 finish inside the top four at the end of the campaign.On April 1, 1995 Liverpool were six points behind third-place Newcastle with three games in hand and 10 games left to play, but eventually finished two points ahead of them in fourth. That was a 42-game season.On April 1, 1998 Chelsea were in fifth place - three points behind Blackburn and eventually finished five points clear of them in fourth.On April 1, 2006 Arsenal were two points behind Tottenham with a game in hand - and were able to finish above them in fourth.Arsenal also pulled it off in 2013 when they were fifth at the start of April, four points behind third-place Tottenham but managed to finish a point clear of them.In 11 of the other 19 seasons no team has broken into the top four at any stage between April 1 and the end of the season, so the omens suggest Leicester, Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester City are on track for Premier League football next season.Treble chasers? Jermain Defoe has to wait a long time to score a hat-trick once more What is the longest a player has gone between hat-tricks in the Premier League? Paul (Teesside)MARTIN SAYS: Thanks to our friends at Opta, I can tell you that Jermain Defoe holds this record after going 2,243 days between scoring a hat-trick (in fact he scored five goals) for Tottenham against Wigan in November 2009 and then scoring his next treble for Sunderland against Swansea in January of this season - a gap of more than six years.Teddy Sheringham went 2,156 days between netting a hat-trick for Spurs against Newcastle in December 1994 and then repeating the feat for Manchester United against Southampton in October 2000.Robbie Keane had a spell of 2,121 days between hat-tricks for Spurs: netting a treble against Wolves in December 2003 and not scoring the next until September 2009 against Burnley.Nicholas Anelka went 1,875 days between hat-tricks from September 2003 with Manchester City to November 2008 when he was playing for Chelsea.And Les Ferdinand had a 1,862-day gap between his hat-trick for Newcastle against Wimbledon in October 1995 and then his treble for Spurs against Leicester in November 2000.Ferdinand also boasts the shortest time in between Premier League hat-tricks after scoring one on April 10, 1993 (a 4-3 win for QPR over Nottingham Forest) and another on April 12, 1993 (a 5-3 win for QPR at Everton). That was two trebles in three days!Plenty of twenty Harry Kane is already past the 20-goal mark We could see five players score 20 Premier League goals this season. Would this be a record? Andrew (Peterborough)MARTIN SAYS: As it stands, Harry Kane already has 21 Premier League goals, while Jamie Vardy is almost there with 19 and Romelu Lukaku has 18. Riyad Mahrez and Sergio Aguero would need to score four each in the final games of the season to reach 20.We have seen three seasons when five or more players scored 20 goals in the Premier League - although two of those season featured 22 teams so players had a maximum of 42 matches, rather than 38 now.In both 1993/94 and 1994/95 there were six players to reach the landmark.In 1993/94 it was Andy Cole (34), Alan Shearer (31), Matt Le Tissier (25), Chris Sutton (25), Ian Wright (23) and Peter Beardsley (21) and the following campaign it was Shearer (34), Robbie Fowler (25), Les Ferdinand (24), Stan Collymore (22), Cole (21) and Jurgen Klinsmann (21).We have seen one 38-game season in which there were five players to reach the milestone. It came in 2009/10 when Didier Drogba (29), Wayne Rooney (26), Daarren Bent (24), Carlos Tevez (23) and Frank Lampard (22) all got there. Rams Hoodie. However, there have also been several campaigns where the 20-goal mark has not been reached.In both 1997/98 and 1998/99 there were three players who scored 18 goals but nobody who passed 20, while in 2008/09 the highest scorers were Nicolas Anelka (19) and Cristiano Ronaldo (18).Squad rotation Is Claudio Ranieri still the Tinkerman? How many players has each club used in the Premier League this season? Peter (Anglesey)MARTIN SAYS: It might not surprise you to hear that Manchester United have used more players than any other club this campaign.Thirty three different players have played for Louis van Gaals side in the 2015/16 Premier League campaign so far, including a number of academy youngsters.Newcastle (30) and Liverpool (29) are second and third while Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, Norwich, Sunderland and West Ham have all used 28 players.Leaders Leicester and Chelsea have used the fewest (both 23), just one more than Arsenal and Tottenham. Players used by each Premier League team this season Team Players used Manchester United 33 Newcastle 30 Liverpool 29 Bournemouth 28 Crystal Palace 28 Norwich 28 Sunderland 28 West Ham 28 Aston Villa 27 Southampton 26 Swansea 26 Everton 25 Manchester City 25 Stoke 25 Watford 25 West Brom 25 Arsenal 24 Tottenham 24 Chelsea 23 Leicester 23 Also See: Amazing Premier League stats Englands statistical squad 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 ' ' '

Will Broncos persist with touch footy approach?The Broncos are back in form after they totally threw the shackles off last week in terms of the style of football theyre playing. Chad Williams Youth Jersey . But Im interested to see if they persist with that touch-football style theyre using.What they did last week in beating the Storm was avoid the wrestle and Im led to believe theyve been training this touch football style for about a month now. What it does is encourage players to stay in an active support role because they know theyve got to be prepared to take a pass at any time. The Broncos style is really difficult to defend against because it allows both Ben Hunt and Anthony Milford to hit multiple ball-runners.There were a couple of instances against the Storm when Broncos players controlled the ball in one hand, with superb skill, and showed a real willingness to keep the ball alive. Sam Thaiday threw an unbelievable pass at one stage that led to a try, and thats just great to see because I think coaches in the NRL can get overly conservative and too obsessed with completion rates.Thaidays pass showed the reward teams can get when they have a little more creative licence. But its all about recognising the right time to attempt those passes, too.So Im really looking forward to seeing if they continue this approach against the Roosters on Thursday night or whether they go back to more of a Wayne Bennett style, and play a more conservative, boring brand of football.Storms big chance to wow MelbourneObviously there are a couple of huge games to round out the season, and Im particularly excited to watch the Storm and Sharks face off for the minor premiership. The fact that the minor premiership will be decided in the final round is a great sign for our game.The Sharks finally returned to some form against the Roosters last weekend while the Storm, who had been the benchmark for the last 12 weeks or so, got blown off the park by the Broncos.And the big kicker here is that there is no AFL this weekend, which should hopefully result in a near full-house for the Storm. Its a great opportunity for the Storm to showcase rugby league, and a big crowd would certainly help get them over the line against the Sharks.Paul Gallen was huge for the Sharks on his return last week and Cronulla will need another big game from him this week, too. Whatever the result, were going to get a really good idea if one or both of these sides can go on and lift the trophy in a few weeks time.All roads lead to Leichhardt OvalThe other game Im really looking forward to watching is the Tigers vs. Raiders. Obviously the game between the Cowboys and Titans will decide whether the Tigers are still a chance come Sunday. But if youre to go by the form guide, it looks like the Tigers will have everything to play for when they run out onto Leichhardt Oval.There will be a big crowd at Leichhardt Oval on Sunday afternoon, too. The Tigers have had a tough couple of years for a variety of reasons, and its been pretty amazing how theyve managed to turn what has been a pretty horrendous year into something special.As for Jason Taylor being justified in his decision not to play Robbie Farah, I think it has proven to be the right call even if they dont make the finals. The way the Tigers have played over the last four weeks; weve seen the development of Mitchell Moses and we know these young halves are the future. The extra responsibility seems to agree with Moses in particular, and he already seems to be a more confident player.Robbie was going to be on $900,000 next year and while that is a great deal for him, the club had to make a business decision and if the coach and player didnt get on then the coach had to take action. Budda Baker Jersey . Louis Blues teammates who would also be participating in the Olympics, Alex Pietrangelo felt right at home, no different in some ways to the travel experience of any old road trip – save for the length of the journey, that is. Budda Baker Womens Jersey .com) - The Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks both take aim at their first wins of the season on Saturday, as the Canucks open their home slate at Rogers Arena. http://www.uscardinalslockroom.com/Black-Friday-Haason-Reddick-Jersey/ . 24 Baylor in a Big 12 clash between teams trending in opposite directions. Andrew Wiggins made 10-of-12 from the foul line and scored 17 for Kansas (14-4, 5-0 Big 12), which capped a stretch of four straight games against ranked opponents unscathed. Twickenham has hosted its fair share of box office matches, but nothing quite like Sundays NFL clash between hosts LA Rams and the New York Giants.The logistics behind the match have seen a series of changes made to the Twickenham infrastructure including walls being knocked through and a temporary barrier installed in the tunnel.It is the role of NFL operations director Matthew Joyce to oversee the numerous changes to ensure Sundays game goes completely to plan. Its been exciting, Joyce said. Ive been running the Wembley games for the last nine years and the learnings weve made from that side have been used here at Twickenham. There are a lot of different technologies weve used in the past that well use here but its just more exciting than challenging.Here we outline exactly what has been going on behind the scenes at Twickenham ahead of Sundays game.Fan experienceIn the spirit of gridiron, Twickenham will be hosting a tailgating party from 09.30 on Sunday. Hosted in the West Car Park, it will differ slightly to the usual rugby experience.Traditionally for big rugby events fans park and enjoy picnics from the back of their cars while nearby tents are housed with all manner of alcoholic brands selling their liquid refreshments alongside food outlets. But on Sunday this will be a little different.Twickenham will meet the tailgating experience -- more a fan village focused around an American NFL experience for UK fans complete with cheerleaders -- for the first time. There will be bars open and NFL-themed entertainment building the buzz ahead of the opening kickoff. A stage with various music acts will be at the fulcrum of the entertainment but with a number of roads closed in and around the stadium, the experience will extend around the south stand to create the additional spectator plaza.Berths for traditional tailgaiting have been allocated in the Cardinal Vaughan car park while the NFLs very own Big Rig will also be on show on the south plaza.The bars inside the stadium which are normally filled on a rugby day with punters enjoying the pre and post-match cover bands will offer a similar experience.Merchandise-wise, there wont be any red rose-adorned clothing on sale in the two big stores within Twickenham or on pop-up outlets on site. Instead they will be filled with merchandise from the 32 NFL franchises.And according to his 7 Days song, Craig David is usually chilling on a Sunday but this weekennd hell be performing the pre-game show on a rolling stage. Chad Williams Jersey. n-field changesTwickenhams pitch is well-suited to the NFL and the smaller playing area than needed for rugby means the excess patches of grass will be where the bench and coaches sit.For the coaches, boxes have been built at the top of west stand -- level 6 -- so they can have a birds-eye view of the game.The pitch will have the Rams emblem painted in the middle.And welcoming the players onto the field when they run out at the 50-yard line will be an LED wall and pyrotechnics.Off-field logisticsThe size of the teams mean the standard Twickenham changing rooms werent big enough. So for the Rams, the coaches will use Englands traditional changing room and the players will use the nearby gym, linked with a corridor, which has been transformed into a locker room complete with 55 lockers and the various NFL-themed posters over safety, pad regulations and key messages.The Giants coaches will use the away changing room in the bowels of Twickenham while the players will be housed in the newly renovated England Rugby Internationals Club room, used usually for hospitality on match days, while artificial turf has also been laid in the room. This renovation has occurred especially for the NFL game with a door having to be installed to link the locker room with the coaches quarters.The large playing and coaching groups means getting into the stadium also presents its own unique challenges. Whereas England rugby normally park their bus just outside the Lion Gates and walk straight into the changing room, each franchise will have between five and six coaches to transport their team to the match. The arrivals will be staggered with a much larger cordon in place around the team than at a rugby match.The Twickenham tunnel has also been in for some special NFL treatment with a barrier now dividing the two teams, all geared towards building the expectation and excitement around the teams running on to the field.The first few rows of the lower tier of the Twickenham stands have been closed off to enhance fan experience so no supporter will have a restricted view of the field. Where on rugby days the disabled supporters are near pitch level on either side of the field, they will be on raised platforms behind the end line.

MONTREAL -- Fresh from a big CONCACAF Champions League win, the Montreal Impact hope to carry that momentum into an important Major League Soccer matchup in Chicago. Deshaun Watson Womens Jersey . Newcomer Hernan Bernardello was strong in his Impact debut as Montreal beat the San Jose Earthquakes 1-0 on Wednesday night at Saputo Stadium in their first Champions League game in five years. The Impact, however, have just one win in their last seven MLS games, including a 3-1 loss in Washington, D.C., last Saturday. Now that Montreal is on the right track in the tournaments group stage, midfielder Patrice Bernier hopes that solid effort will continue against the Fire on Saturday night. "Its a boost for the teams morale and confidence," Bernier said. "It was a solid game and we needed to get back to basics and now we have that good base to attack the MLS every game. All of the games count all the time but now that the standings are so tight we know that we have to get our points." Those points have been hard to come by lately for the Impact. Montreal has six points in its last seven games (1-3-3), three of those coming in a 1-0 win over Sporting Kansas City on July 27 when substitute Blake Smith scored in stoppage time. The skid has dropped the Impact out of the Eastern Conference lead to third place, with a 10-6-5 mark and 35 points in 21 games. Montreal trails first-place New York by three points and second-place Kansas City by one, but the Impact hold two games in hand on both teams. "Were going to Chicago, a team thats playing well and they have the offensive abilities that make the difference so were heading there with clear heads and ready to attack and come out of there with as many points as possible," Bernier said. The Fire, who have also played 21 games, have climbed to seventh in the East after struggling to a 2-7-1 start that included a 2-0 loss in Montreal on Apr. 27. In contrast to the Impact, Chicago enters riding a hot streak in MLS play but is coming off a disappointing loss Wednesday night. The Fire were eliminated from the U.S. Open Cup following a 2-0 semifinal loss to D.C. United at Toyota Park. "I think at this point theyre a different team, were a different team," Fire assistant coach Mike Matkovich said. "Theyre in the same boat as us so its just going to be a matter of digging down deep and getting through this game and weve got to find a way to get points. Chicagos season turned around after they acquired Mike Magee from Los Angeles on May 24. "Theyve started slow this year but theyre a talented team," said Impact forward Justin Mapp, who played for the Fire from 2003-10. "I know some of their players and the addition of Mike Magee certainly helped them and theyve kind of caught their stride. Theyve had a number of good results in the last number of games. Its a tough place to play." Magee, who leads the MLS with 14 goals, came to Chicago in the trade that sent the rights to Robbie Rogers to the Galaxy. Rogers became the first openly gay man to play for a top-level North American pro sports team when he made his L.A. debut on May 27. While that milestone made headlines, the Fires acquisition of Magee paid immediate dividends. He has scored eight goals in 10 league games with Chicago, including each one in each of his last three games. The Fire are undefeated over that stretch with two wins and a draw, including a 2-1 win in Philadelphia. Chicago is coming off the U.S. Open Cup loss though, and midfielder Logan Pause is not putting a lot of stock into the Impacts recent MLS struggles. "Theyre a dangerous team," Pause said. "They won the Canadian championship and theyre playing in CONCACAF. Theyre a good team from Di Vaio all the way down. "Theyve got a lot of experience, a lot of seasoned veterans and were looking to pay them back after a tough result we faced in Montreal earlier in the year. And of course theyre a conference opponent that were trying to catch in the table." Julién Davenport Jersey . But Bourque, who has missed three games with a lower-body injury, wont be in the lineup when the Habs travel to Buffalo to take on the Sabres on Wednesday. Julién Davenport Texans Jersey . Luis Suarezs double powered Liverpool to a 4-0 victory over Fulham, and Southampton easily overcame Hull 4-1 to continue the south coast clubs impressive start to the season.

It was hard for Luck to pull off another comeback, or even get into the end zone, while standing on the sideline. Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie Keenan Allen and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to give the Chargers a 19-9 victory against the Colts on Monday night. Adam Cole is a lot of things. Hes a two-time (and current) Ring of Honor world champion, a member of the wildly popular Bullet Club faction and a storyteller. But first and foremost, like so many of the fans who passionately cry out Bay Bay every time they hear his name, Cole is an endlessly passionate student of the craft and history of professional wrestling.Coles first conscious memories of the squared circle are probably a lot like yours, if you were a child of a certain age. At 9 years old, he caught a few precious moments of an episode of WCW Thunder before his dad turned off the TV and ushered him off to the dinner table.When I first discovered that professional wrestling existed, it was going through that transitional period where it was becoming more violent, more risqué, more TV-14, said Cole. So initially, I was not permitted at all to watch pro wrestling.In fact, it wasnt until a chance encounter that Cole stumbled upon an opportunity that would change his life.Fast-forward to a point in my life where I was taking karate lessons as a kid; I really enjoyed that, and I used to get there early and stay there late -- I just loved it, Cole said. I got there early one day, and my instructor was watching a taped Monday Night Raw from the night before.I was watching it while he was checking it out, and he asked, Oh, do you watch wrestling? and I said, Yeah, all the time, Cole continued. But Id never watched it before. I just wanted to fit in with him. Long story short, he lets me borrow WrestleMania 15, and I saw Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock for the first time. I remember just thinking, These guys are the coolest guys Ive ever seen in my life.When he watched that no-disqualification main event between The Rock and Austin, there was a moment when Cole was instantly hooked -- a moment that gave him goosebumps and changed his life. When the iconic glass crashing of Austins entrance hit, Cole knew exactly what he wanted to do with his life.By the time Cole was a high school senior, he began to look seriously at wrestling schools near his childhood home in Pennsylvania. It was (and still is) a hotbed for wrestling schools, and whichever one he chose to attend after graduating high school could have sent him in any number of directions in his career.I was considering a bunch of different options, said Cole. There was the Wild Samoan training center in Allentown, Pennsylvania. For a while, I was considering the Chikara Wrestle Factory in Philadelphia, too. It got to a point where, because I was such a big fan of wrestling, I started to follow more promotions -- and one of them was called Combat Zone Wrestling, in South Philadelphia.CZW cultivated a reputation over the years for having some of the most brutal and violent hard-core matches in the world of independent wrestling, including numerous bouts featuring Jon Moxley (now Dean Ambrose in the WWE) and Drake Younger (now WWE NXT referee Drake Wuertz), among many others.Still, that style of match wasnt everything that CZW was about, and a young, impressionable Cole took a chance to try to meet some of the wrestlers and operators of CZW after attending Best of the Best 7 -- an annual tournament that Cole was quite familiar with and fond of.I was out back, waiting to meet everybody, and one of the guys who walked out was DJ Hyde, who is the head trainer of the CZW wrestling academy. For whatever reason, I build up enough courage to tell him, By the way, when I graduate high school Im gonna train to be a pro wrestler someday, Cole said. And he stopped, and he turned and looked at me, and he asked, Why dont you wrestle now?Cole, surprised for a moment by the question, rattled off all of the reasons that a high schooler wouldnt be able to make it work without dropping out of college: He didnt have the money. His parents would obviously be apprehensive. And the two-hour drive each way would be challenging, to say the least.DJ Hyde extended an olive branch that would ultimately make a tremendous impact on the years that followed.He said, Listen, Ill work with you on money -- you pay me what you can, when you can, and you only have to come down one day a week, Cole recalled. The following week, I started training as a pro wrestler.I talked to the three [aspiring wrestlers] and told them they needed to do a tryout, said Hyde. The three of them all had a lot of potential -- Adam was not the guy he is now, but you could see something. He said, This is all I ever wanted to do.I use him as an example to the current students -- he wanted it more than anybody else -- anyone Ive ever seen, said Hyde. He was born to do this.Cole wouldve jumped at any opportunity to get into a wrestling ring as soon as humanly possible, and he simply couldnt deny an offer to train at CZW. In November 2007, Cole started down the long and winding path of an independent wrestling career. By the time he graduated high school, Coles career was already in motion.He quickly discovered that it wasnt all about learning to bump or mastering an in-ring technique. Coles persistence and willingness to reach out to those who could help him in some way in his career was as valuable a skill as any hed pick up in the ring.For independent wrestling, making connections is so important, said Cole. Part of that process is traveling all over the country and going wherever you can, even if youre not on the event. Its the idea of showing up and meeting people and watching matches -- just creating relationships with people.One relationship that allowed Cole to take another monumental step was with an Australian wrestler who was touring in the States and had started attending the Ring of Honor wrestling school.When offered an opportunity to train with some of the brightest up-and-coming wrestlers on the independent scene, he simply couldnt pass it up.So I went down there, and I started training, said Cole. The head trainer, Delirious, was there, and he will hate that I say this, but hes one of the smartest men in wrestling. I instantly knew that from the moment I met him. [Being there] really kind of took my understanding of pro wrestling to the next level.At that point in time, around 2008 or 2009, Delirious was still an active performer for Ring of Honor. As he picked up more and more things in the ring, Cole asked if he could start attending shows. He did everything he could -- he helped set up chairs and the ring, served as security and a guy just there to get beat up.Cole started on his long path to stardom in ROH in 2009, when he had his first dark match for the company. As hard as he worked to impress those in charge behind the curtain, Cole quickly found himself hitting a wall creatively.I did dark matches with Ring of Honor for a year and a half, said Cole. And I got the same response every single time I got to the back -- Good job, keep it up. That was cool the first two or three times, but then it was like, OK, what do I have to do differently to kind of stand out more?By tapping into what is now one of his most valuable tools in the ring, Cole utilized his personality to get noticed.I end up sending a promo in, and at the time the booker Adam Pearce saw that and said, OK, were gonna have you cut a promo in the ring as dark, said Cole. So instead of doing aa match, I was actually talking, which was cool. Deshaun Watson Texans Jersey. Jim Cornette happened to be paying attention to the promo, and the rest was history. From there on out, they saw something in me that they had not been seeing while I was wrestling, and that kind of gave me the opportunity to shine, and to get a real chance with ROH.Cole would soon find himself under contract with ROH, and hed get paired up with another young upstart, Kyle OReilly. Books could be written about their partnership and eventual rivalry that carries on to this day, but in short, they teamed up under the moniker Future Shock and got to wrestle against some of the best in the world, including the Kings of Wrestling (Cesaro and Chris Hero), the Briscoes and former WWE tag team champions Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas, among many others.It was against Haas and Benjamin, collectively known as the Worlds Greatest Tag Team, that Cole received his first championship match in ROH. While he and OReilly failed to win the titles, the pair proved themselves worthy of the label of being future stars with the company. The pair soon split, but went right at it on opposite sides of another budding rivalry between the tag team formerly known as The American Wolves -- a conflict that ultimately shaped the careers of all four men.It was me and Eddie Edwards against Kyle OReilly and ROH world champion Davey Richards, said Cole. That moment for us was Ring of Honor telling our fans, OK, these guys are main event guys now. At that point in my career, it was the most pressure I had ever felt -- because the fans are either going to bite on this, or they werent, so you really, really have to deliver.Cole not only managed to hold his own in that match at ROHs 10th anniversary show, entitled Young Wolves Rising, but he got the biggest victory of his career to that point. He pinned Richards -- the reigning ROH champion at the time -- in the main event of a major show at the Hammerstein Ballroom, and it was the catalyst for even bigger things to come. After dispatching OReilly in a grudge match three months later in that very same venue, Cole won his first championship in ROH by defeating Roderick Strong for the television championship in June 2012.By the end of the year, hed get the first world title win of his career by defeating Kevin Steen (Kevin Owens) for the Pro Wrestling Guerilla world heavyweight championship.It was scary man, said Cole. I was 22 or 23 at that time, being put in a position where youre Ring of Honor television champion and the PWG world champion. This is no knock on the ROH television championship at all, but this was the first time any company had ever said, OK, youre our No. 1 guy, and were expecting these shows to do well with you on top.Hed ultimately go on to become a cult hero and the longest reigning PWG world champion in the companys history, but those concurrent title reigns -- despite being career-defining achievements -- offered little time for Cole to appreciate what hed been able to do at such a young age.The thing that I regret the most, I think, looking back at that period of my life, was I didnt really get to enjoy it too much, Cole said. I was so concerned and focused on doing better and improving. But at the same time, thats part of what success is -- getting better is about never settling, and realizing that you do have to always push forward and improve. Sometimes you cant sit back and smell the roses.Its a tough balance to strike for a guy whos been as motivated as Cole. He has little issue taking care of business in the gym, with his diet and in studying tapes, but he occasionally falls victim to losing the big picture simply because he keeps his head down and keeps pushing toward greatness.The fear of failure with me is very real, said Cole. I think the idea of me being 50 years old and thinking, Where could my career have been if I just worked a little bit harder is a really tough pill to swallow -- and it scares me to death.Over the entirety of his career, Cole has been able to push down those fears and keep them at bay by working as hard as possible. The results speak for themselves, with Cole earning the highest honor of his career in September 2013 by winning the ROH world championship.Sometimes fate simply intervenes, though. The process was taken out of his hands entirely in late 2014, when a serious shoulder injury put him on the shelf for the longest stretch of his career.Its very, very hard to walk away from something that means a lot to you, [especially] not having that escape that wrestling has always been for me. When I was forced to miss four months of action because of shoulder, tricep and elbow surgery, it was tough -- and, of course, when it rains it pours. My grandmother passed away while I was out injured, and while I normally would have just focused on wrestling, I just sat at home and really had to deal with that.After losing his grandmother, his No. 1 supporter and one of the most important people in his life, Cole sat back and reset his life and career. As he neared his return in May 2015, Cole was able to draw some positives from his time away from wrestling.While the year following Coles return was a net positive, with a number of big matches, things werent quite clicking as well as they were before his injury. That all changed in May 2016, when Cole made a surprise appearance in the midst of a Jay Lethal-Colt Cabana ROH world championship match and revealed himself as the newest member of the Bullet Club.That was soon followed by a second world championship reign, and almost everything Cole has done as part of the Bullet Club has been a revelation in his career. Hes having some of the best matches of his career, including a recent five-star match in PWG, hes getting to live out his dreams of wrestling in New Japan Pro Wrestling and the future looks bright.Still, no matter how much he tries to appreciate it all in the moment, his desire to squeeze every last drop out of his career can be overwhelming.When I win something like the Ring of Honor championship for a second time, Im excited for a minute, but Im already thinking, How can I win for a third time? Whats my next goal? said Cole. Whats the next mountain I have to climb? I dont ever want to become content.Cole is always striving for the next step in his career. Hes incredibly happy with his current position -- which has him on top in ROH, able to work in NJPW, PWG and top Mexican promotion CMLL -- but even if its two, three or five years down the line, it would be foolish to discount his desire to one day perform in or even main event a WrestleMania.For the boy who grew up and fell in love with wrestling because of The Rock and Austin, and takes pride in having worked all the way up the ranks of professional wrestling, it might be the only way hell ever truly be able to take a breath and stop to smell the roses.Its all part of the journey, said Cole. In my dream pro-wrestling career, I would get to go and wrestle on all the corners of the planet -- get to wrestle for the smallest promotions all the way up to the biggest promotions. I love all the peaks and valleys.

Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods have led tributes from the world of golf to Muhammad Ali following the death of the boxing legend at the age of 74. Michael Roberts Lions Jersey . Nicklaus crossed paths with his fellow sporting icon many times over their careers, and the Golden Bear was the proud recipient of the Muhammad Ali Legacy Award in December last year.The award, promoted by prominent magazine Sports Illustrated, honoured Nicklaus for his sportsmanship, leadership and philanthropy and celebrated not only his remarkable golfing career, but also his charitable work.Alis passing was announced during The Memorial, a tournament hosted by Nicklaus at his home club of Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio, and the 18-time major champion expressed his long-time admiration for The Greatest. The Greatest meets the Greatest: Nicklaus enjoyed some playful sparring with Ali at Valhalla in 1996 Nicklaus released a statement which read: It is an understatement to say that the hearts of the sports world are heavy with the loss of Muhammad Ali. He transcended not only the sport of boxing, but sports in general.He long ago established a legacy that crossed any boundaries of competition or the borders of just our country. He was a global icon.I was incredibly honoured and humbled to receive an award in December bearing his name. That night I told a story about how the walls in my home are not for plaques and trophies, but rather for photos of my kids and grandkids. Tiger Woods described Ali as a champion Yet there is one special photo in my office, and that is of Muhammad and me playfully sparring at the PGA Championship in 1996 at Valhalla in his hometown of Louisville. I have always been a great fan of Muhammad, because I admired the champion he was in the ring and the champion he became out of the ring for so many causes.I hope on a day when we mourn the loss of the Champ - the greatest of all time - we can reflect and appreciate his many contributions past and present, and ensure that generations going forward will admire and be inspired by all that Muhammad Ali accomplished.Tiger Woods was one of the first to pay his respects on social media in a post on his Twitter account which read: Youll always be The Greatest for more than just what you did in the ring. A champion to so many people in so many ways. Justin Rose met Ali ahead of the 2008 Ryder Cup Nicklaus long-time friend and rival Gary Player added: Muhammad Ali was simply the best. He was both brilliant and controversial. He inspired and empowered athletes all over the world. He was the GOAT of boxing. We should all celebrate his legacy. Rest in peace.Justin Rose was part of the European Ryder Cup team that were photographed alongside Ali ahead of the contest at Valhalla in 2008, and he tweeted: Had the pleasure of meeting the Greatest at the Ryder Cup.

LOUIS -- Theres no telling how these wacky World Series games will end. NEW YORK -- The Olympics in their final week were still golden for NBC. Once again, NBCs nightly prime-time averages took the weeks top seven Nielsen slots. And NBC again left rival networks far behind in overall viewership.But a drop in Olympics viewers compared to the previous week was notable.So was the drop in TV viewership between the final seven nights of the Rio Olympics compared to four years ago at the London Games.Consider the erosion from 29.1 million for the London Olympics 12th night, compared to 20.7 million for the same night (last Wednesday) in Rio. Or Rios 17 million viewers for Sundays closing ceremony, compared to 31 million for London.Since 2012, viewers have gained new options and new screens for enjoying the Rio Olympics. The result: As a TV event, it clearly wasnt the same as its been in past years.Nor, for whatever reasons, was it even the same sort of TV event it had been the week before. Week-to-week audiences dropped every night, most precipitously Tuesday (down 9.3 million from the previous Tuesday), Thursday (down by 9.5 million), Saturday (down by 10.1 million) and Sundays closing ceremony (down 9.8 million from the previous Sundays competition).Even so, NBC retained the weekly ratings crown, sweeping the Top 10 with seven Olympics slots (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday and Saturday), an Olympics-themed special, Rio Gold, which ranked eighth, and The Voice and Superstore.Though down from last weeks average of 28.2 million viewers, NBC led again with an average of 19.9 million, while CBS was a distant runner-up with 3.8 million and ABC with 2.9 million. Spanish-languagge Univision (with 1. Jarrad Davis Lions Jersey. .6 million) again topped Fox, which (with 1.39 million) was barely ahead of Telemundo (1.36 million). ION Television drew 1.1 million, followed by CW with 800,000 viewers.Meanwhile, the Olympics-coverage setting again gave NBC a bump in the evening-news contest, which typically finds NBC and ABC neck-and-neck. NBCs Nightly News was decisively on top with 9.8 million viewers, followed by ABCs World News Tonight with 7.8 million. The CBS Evening News had 6.3 million.Among cable networks in prime time last week, Fox News Channel retained its lead with 2.1 million viewers, followed by USA with 1.4 million.For the week of Aug. 15-21, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: Summer Olympic Games (Monday), NBC, 24.2 million; Summer Olympic Games (Tuesday), NBC, 24.1 million; Summer Olympic Games (Thursday), NBC, 21.70 million; Summer Olympic Games (Wednesday), NBC, 20.68 million; Summer Olympic Games (Friday), NBC, 20.1 million; Summer Olympic Games (Sunday Closing Ceremony), NBC, 17.0 million; Summer Olympic Games (Saturday), NBC, 15.4 million; Rio Gold, NBC, 11.5 million; The Voice (Sunday), NBC, 10.3 million; Superstore (Friday), NBC, 9.7 million.---ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Co.

Jim Grobe came out of semi-retirement to help the Baylor Bears?football program get through a tumultuous season. Jourdan Lewis Jersey . After the season is finished, he has no plans to coach again.Grobe said Monday that he told new Baylor athletic director Mack Rhoades early in the season that he didnt want to be a candidate to be the full-time coach. That conversation came a month into the season, when the Bears were still undefeated -- and before their current, five-game losing streak.Honestly, football needs a fresh start, Grobe said in his weekly news conference on the Waco campus. Im very, very proud of our players who have remained loyal to Baylor. Theyve given me 100-plus reasons for hope in these difficult times.Grobe, 64, had been out of coaching for two seasons when he accepted the role as Baylors acting head coach last May. He said he committed through January, which would include being part of the Bears bowl game, and he expects to be retired and playing golf after that.Despite some rocky times, Grobe said he has no regrets about taking over when Baylor suddenly dismissed two-time Big 12 champion coach Art Briles after a report alleging that the university mishandled complaints of sexual assault.Ive not ever had the mindset that I was doing more than helping out, Grobe said earlier on the Big 12 coaches teleconference. Its been a little more challenging than I expected. ... The thing that I have found that I expected to find is a lot of really good kids. Thats what weve got to stay focused on. Those are the guys that have probably been hurt the most.Baylors search for a new coach likely will intensify this week, as many schools have completed their regular seasons. Baylor has not offered its coaching position to anyone yet, sources told ESPNs Adam Rittenberg. SMUs Chad Morris is believed to be a candidate for the opening, along with Cals Sonny Dykes, North Carolinas Larry Fedora and others.The Bears (6-5, 3-5 Big 12) play their regular-season finale Saturday at 14th-ranked West Virginia (9-2, 6-2), which is Grobes home state.Even though Baylor has lost five in a row since starting 6-0 to get bowl eligible, any suggestions of the school turning down a bowl berth seem moot. The Big 12 has seven bowl slots to fill and will have only six bowl-eligible teams, including the Bears.Baylors skid started with a 35-34 loss at Texas, which came after a group of Baylor regents first provided some details about some of the allegations against Briles in a Wall Street Journal article. A week later, the Bears suffered their worst home loss since 2005. They lost 62-22 to TCU a day after assistant coaches and several staff members issued a statement on Twitter expressing their support for Briles and disputing claims by regents that the former coach knew of an alleged gang rape.All the assistants were retained from Briles staff. They included the former coachs son, offensive coordinator Kendal Briles, and his son-in-law, running backs coach Jeff Lebby.We got through the first six games pretty well, and for a couple of weeks lost some focus. Some things in the press, and our coaches were upset. That in turn upsets the players, Grobe said. Weve really played hard the last few weeks. We just havent played well enough to win.This is Grobes 20th season as a head coach at the FBS level. He previously led Wake Forest (2001-13) and Ohio (1995-2000).When he initially got to Baylor, he said he had missed coaching and didnt discount the idea of being there longer. But even as the Bears got off to a good start in September, he quickly informed Rhoades -- who started at the school in mid-August -- that he had no intention of staying past this season.I wanted him to know early on that no matter how the season turned out -- it has nothing to do with anything thats happened over the past five games -- that I was not a candidate, Grobe said. That I was here to help for a season and that Id be out of here, and he needed to start his search and be focused on finding the next best guy for Baylor.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Ethan Pocic Youth Jersey .Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has drawn on his Syracuse connections once again by hiring Rob Moore to take over as receivers coach. Delano Hill Youth Jersey . They reached the 100-point plateau for the fourth time in five games, bested the visiting Trail Blazers by 34 in the paint and scored 19 of the final 25 points in regulation. http://www.footballseahawksfanatics.com/authentic-amara-darboh-seahawks-jersey/ . Kuznetsov, who was selected by the Capitals in the first round of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, has been playing for his hometown team Chelyabinsk Traktor of the KHL. Mario Andretti has urged Haas to sign an American driver to increase exposure for Formula One in the United States. Ethan Pocic Jersey .Haas is yet to confirm who will partner Romain Grosjean next season, with uncertainty over whether Esteban Gutierrez will be retained. Though young American driver Santino Ferrucci is signed on as a development driver Haas wants someone with experience for its second season in F1.Alexander Rossi, who won the Indy 500 as a rookie this year for Andrettis son Michaels team, was previously tipped as a candidate after five races for Manor in 2015 but he has signed on for another season of IndyCar. Andretti thinks Haas has a responsibility to grow the sport in the States.Speaking to ESPN about the lack of an American driver on the grid, Andretti said: Having an American team there, maybe some of that will change and I hope they do sign an American one day because I think you have a vast fanbase here in the United States. Even for Formula One, I think its understated. But I can see it really really magnifying if there was an American driver there, especially now theres the race at Circuit of the Americas.Alexander Rossi is one perfect example of one [American] talent being overlooked for some reason. Hes done very well in GP2 and all that, he knows the circuits very well and has the experience. But when youre not considered by a top team theres no way youre going to be able to show what you can do.Andretti thinks the lack of an American on the grid is a good argument for the introduction of guest drivers for teeam to run people with a local interest. Delano Hill Jersey. My first Formula One race was with Ferrari as a third driver, a top team. Imagine if one of our talents, even Alexander, would have been invited by Mercedes to be third driver at some events it might have been another story, he might have shown differently.Now, having done quite a good season here in the States and having signed for another season with Michael, it looks like he didnt have any offers from a top teams [in F1].Team owner Gene Haas says there are no American drivers who fit the requirements he is looking for at the moment, suggesting he will only sign one after gaining the relevant experience at another team on the grid.If we had to do everything American, we wouldnt have enough money or enough time for anything, Haas told ESPN. Were here really to build a race team. If an American driver came along to have the pedigree to do this, yeah, we would seriously consider that. But at the moment, there arent any F1 drivers.Youre always looking for experience. Its a drivers market right now because weve lost two very experienced drivers and the newcomers really dont have much experiences. Theres lots of drivers out there but you take that chance of the unknown. Theres a lot of people that can compete well in GP3 and GP2. They qualify well but racing in Formula One is a whole different sport.Additional reporting by ESPNs Bob Pockrass Cheap NFL JerseysCheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From ChinaCheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys' ' '

PARIS -- Fourth-seeded Milos Raonic hit 17 aces as he beat Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta 7-6 (5), 6-4 Tuesday to reach the third round of the Paris Masters. Shaquill Griffin Womens Jersey .The big-serving Canadian has been hampered by a right ankle injury that forced him to withdraw ahead of his China Open semifinal three weeks ago.Since then, he has lost in the third round of the Shanghai Masters and in the first round of the Swiss Indoors last week.But he was moving freely as he beat Carreno Busta for the third time in as many career meetings -- all this year.The ankle is improving. I still have it wrapped up for safety, Raonic said. But its not really causing any nuisance.At 5-5 in the tiebreaker, Carreno Busta patted a return into the net and Raonic sealed the set with an ace.He secured the only break in the second set when his opponent scooped a low shot into the net.Raonic, a runner-up here to top-ranked Novak Djokovic two years ago, sealed victory with consecutive aces.Its always important for me to serve well, Raonic said. I havent served that well this summer, this hard court swing.Seventh-seeded Tomas Berdych avoided another early exit by beating Joao Sousa 6-3, 3-6, 7-5 to also reach the third round.At 4-4 in the deciding set, Berdych trailed 15-40 and saved two break points.Although Berdych won the Shenzhen Open in China last month, the Czech players form dropped sharply with first-round exits at the Japan Open and the Erste Bank Open in Vienna. Between those tournaments, there was a second-round loss at the Shanghai Masters.Losing ranking points forced Berdych out of the top 10 for the first time since reaching the 2010 Wimbledon final. It also leaves him needing to reach the semifinals in Paris to have a chance of qualifying for the season-ending ATP finals in London -- a difficult task considering he could face Andy Murray in the quarterfinals.If you dont play your best, you dont really deserve to be there, Berdych said. Luckily, Im healthy. Who would have said that Id be answering questions about London when I was in the hospital in Cincinnati? This is a nice bonus.Berdych was referring to the appendicitis that forced him out of this years U.S. Open.Even though his play looked patchy, his serving was strong with 14 aces, including a couple of booming ones on second serve.Berdych is hopeful that working with coach Goran Ivanisevic -- the big-serving Croat who won Wimbledon in 2001 -- will improve his game.I like his approach and how he tries to simplify things, the 31-year-old Berdych said.Berdych, the 2005 Paris Masters champion, next faces either 10th-seeded Roberto Bautista Agut or Gilles Simon.Six other players are vying with Berdych for the two remaining spots at the ATP finals.Dominic Thiem and Marin Cilic, who won the Swiss Indoors, held the last two places before this week. David Goffin, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Lucas Pouille and Bautista Agut are the other contenders playing here.There were also second-round wins for 12th-seeded Richard Gasquet of France and No. 14 Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria.Gasquet won 6-4, 7-6 (11) against American Steve Johnson and Dimitrov was leading 6-3 when Marcos Baghdatis retired with a right leg problem.In remaining first-round play, John Isner beat Mischa Zverev 7-6 (8), 6-4 and next plays No. 15 David Ferrer.Jack Sock, Feliciano Lopez, Nicolas Mahut, Viktor Troicki, Ivo Karlovic and Gilles Muller also reached the second round.Muller faces Djokovic on Wednesday.

NEW YORK -- Max Scherzers next start has been pushed back a day by the Washington Nationals to give the ace right-hander extra rest.Scherzer initially was lined up to pitch Sunday night at Citi Field in the finale of a three-game series against the New York Mets. Instead, the National League East leaders plan to recall rookie right-hander Reynaldo Lopez from Triple-A Syracuse to make that start -- weather permitting. Scherzer is scheduled to go Monday at home against last-place Atlanta.Washington had opened a 10?-game cushion over the second-place Mets going into Saturday night.Nationals manager Dusty Baker said the team just wanted to give Scherzer an additional day off at this time of year. Washington was off Thursday after playing 20 consecutive days.If I can give a guy an exttra day, then well give him an extra day, Baker explained. Shaquill Griffin Seahawks Jersey. Youd love for Max to pitch against the Mets, but we felt the extra day is more important than Max pitching here.Last year, Scherzer pitched a no-hitter against the Mets at Citi Field on the final weekend.A contender for the NL Cy Young Award, Scherzer is 15-7 with a 2.89 ERA and a major league-high 238 strikeouts in 28 starts covering 190 innings.
