For the new crop of one-and-done talents in college basketball, academics are pointless, according to Philadelphia 76ers rookie star Ben Simmons. Taco Charlton Cowboys Jersey .In his new Showtime Sports?documentary, the former LSU star blames the organization for wasting his lone year of college by asking him to attend class.The NCAA is really f---ed up, Simmons said on One and Done, a film that will air on Showtime on Friday night. Everybodys making money except the players. Were the ones waking up early as hell to be the best teams and do everything they want us to do and then the players get nothing. They say education, but if Im there for a year, I cant get much education.The documentary follows Simmons from his time as a prodigy in Australia to his high school career at Montverde Academy near Orlando, Florida, his one year at LSU and his journey to the NBA draft, where he was selected first overall by the Sixers.Throughout the film, Simmons wrestles with the trappings of his newfound fame. With agents and shoe companies hovering in Baton Rouge, Simmons said he had to avoid temptations.At LSU, he said he was offered a Bentley, a Wraith Rolls-Royce, watches, jewelry, a house ... anything. It literally is anything. People coming at you, offering you things.Simmons didnt say who offered him those gifts, which would have made him ineligible to compete in college. On a trip to a shoe store, he quips that a salesman would let me take whatever if he asked.His mother, Julie Simmons, claims she feared the NCAA would eventually unravel her sons stint at LSU. But his sister, Emily Bush, says she has receipts for every item Simmons purchased while he attended the school. But that doesnt mean the family approves of the regulations.If you get a kid whos a child prodigy and plays the violin amazingly, no ones saying to them you must go to college for a year before you join the philharmonic orchestra, Julie Simmons said in the film.Friction in the family is evident in the film as Bush begins to manage her superstar brothers career and minimize the role of their parents. But the documentary focuses on his collegiate experience and contempt for the NCAA and its standards.Simmons was barred from the Wooden Awards final list after he failed to achieve a 2.0 GPA. He was also benched for four-plus minutes of a conference matchup for missing a class.In one scene, filmed last season, Simmons said he had no intention of attending class after he became eligible for the second semester.I got Bs and Cs; Im not going to class next semester because I dont need to, Simmons said. ... Im here to play, Im not here to go to school.Collegiate athletes who are eligible by the end of first semester can also compete in the second semester, even if their academics slip. Simmons admits he stopped caring about class.[Coach] Jones said, We need to make up a punishment if you miss another class, Simmons said. I missed my next class about preparing for better study habits. Im going to the NBA next season. Why bull---- if its not going to help me?Simmons also said the NCAA used him to make money, so he planned to become a voice for college athletes after he left LSU.The NCAA is messed up, Simmons said. I dont have a voice. ... I dont get paid to do it. Dont say Im an amateur and make me take pictures and sign stuff and go make hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars off one person. ... Im going off on the NCAA. Just wait, just wait. I can be a voice for everybody in college. Im here because I have to be here [at LSU]. ... I cant get a degree in two semesters, so its kind of pointless. I feel like Im wasting time. Chidobe Awuzie Cowboys Jersey .

John Riel Casimero, already a two-division world titleholder, announced Tuesday that he will vacate his flyweight belt and move up in weight to seek a title in the junior bantamweight division.To win my third title would be a great honor for me and put my name in with some of the best fighters my country has ever produced, said Casimero, who is a native of the Philippines. I will be immediately looking to make an impact and fight the big fights that allow me the opportunity.Casimero (23-3, 15 KOs), 26, held a junior flyweight title from 2012 until losing it for failing to make weight before a defense in 2014.His first shot at a flyweight belt, in June 2015, resulted in a decision loss to Amnat Ruenroeng in Thailand, but they met in a rematch 11 months later and Casimero knocked him out in the fourth round, in China, to win the 112-pound belt.Casimero made one defense, traveling to London to face hometown fighter Charlie Edwards on Sept. 10 on the Gennady Golovkin-Kell Brook undercard at the O2 Areena and knocking him out in the 10th round. Chidobe Awuzie Womens Jersey. Now Casimero is headed up to the 115-pound division, where he would like to tangle with titleholders Roman Chocolatito Gonzalez, boxings pound-for-pound king, and countryman Jerwin Ancajas.Sampson Lewkowicz, Casimeros promoter, said his fighter is ready to make the move up the scale and ready to fight one of the top dogs of the division.Hes so strong, and he keeps growing, Lewkowicz said. It is time for John Riel to move up and secure his place in Philippines boxing history. It is our hope to quickly face Ancajas and Chocolatito next year. That is what we will work to make happen.To fill the vacant flyweight title, the IBF said it will order former strawweight and junior flyweight titleholder Donnie Nietes (39-1-4, 22 KOs), 34, of the Philippines, to face Eaktawan Krungthepthonburi (22-3, 15 KOs), 27, of Thailand.

Tevez, who has had conflicts with coaches in the past, has not been called up since Sabella was named coach in 2011. Argentina boasts Lionel Messi, Gonzalo Higuain, Sergio Aguero, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Angel Di Maria.Residents of San Diego will today vote on whether or not to build a new stadium for the Chargers. The outcome could have wide reaching effects on the future of the franchise, with a possibility of moving the team out of the city if the proposals are rejected. It has been a confusing process from the start, and any outcome is likely to offer more questions than firm answers. However, this is what we know so far. WATCH: Graham hurdles defender Jimmy Graham scored two touchdowns in week nine but it was his hurdle that caught the eye. What is the proposal? Ballot Measure C - the official name for the vote proposes that a new, Super Bowl ready stadium would be built to replace the ageing Qualcomm Stadium, the current home of the San Diego Chargers.The facility would also be used as a trade centre and music venue, available 300 days a year, according to team executives.The stadium would require $1.8 billion, raised by increasing the hotel taxes from 12.5 per cent to 16.5 per cent, as well as $650m pledged by the NFL and Chargers owner Dean Spanos.There is also a separate proposal - Ballot Measure D - which, if passed, gives the Chargers organisation the right to build the stadium but without any public funds. This measure would still raise taxes on hotel occupation, to be used for the construction of the convention centre. Chargers fans have been kept in the dark regarding the franchises future What are the conditions of the vote?To pass, there must be a two-thirds majority in favour of the Chargers stadium plans. However there is potential that, should over 50 per cent of the public vote yes, this may be enough, as the Californian Supreme Court can lower the voting threshold.Who is for/against?Obviously the Chargers are pushing for the move, but they have garnered the support of Mayor Kevin Faulconer. Measure C is also backed by the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce and Downtown San Diego Partnership. The San Diego Taxpayers Association is staunchly against the proposal, claiming that Spanos hass spent $5m on a popularity campaign. Kendell Beckwith Jersey.  Current opinion polls would indicate that only 45 per cent of voters would approve Measure C, which would not be enough for a stadium change in the city.  Opinion polls suggest only 45 per cent of residents will vote in favour of a new stadium What are the potential outcomes?If the majority is achieved, the Chargers would look to build a stadium in East Village, the largest urban neighbourhood in Downtown San Diego. The increase in tax is predicted to raise $1.15 billion, enough to cover the remainder of the stadiums bill. If the proposals are rejected, but still achieve over 50 per cent of votes, the franchise may look to take legal action and force the bill through.Lower than a 50 per cent result and the chances of the organisation leaving the city increases dramatically. The Chargers have the option of joining the Rams in Los Angeles, but this would need to be agreed by January 2017, and it is clear that a ground share would be neither sides preference. The Chargers have a loyal fan base in San Diego, and a move to a new city would likely mean starting again Moving in with the Oakland Raiders is also an option, as is replacing the Raiders if they were to go Las Vegas. There is even the outside possibility that the Raiders could end up in San Diego if the Chargers left for Los Angeles.  However a rejection of the vote doesnt confirm the team moving. They have a contract in Qualcomm until 2020, and even then could negotiate a rolling deal to stay, if it proved to be the best option in the short term.Ultimately the decision is still up in the air, whatever the vote. However the outcome will provide an important gauge for Spanos on the future of the NFL in San Diego.

SEARS POINT, Calif. Haason Reddick Cardinas Jersey . -- Ryan Hunter-Reay left the last Verizon IndyCar Series race at Watkins Glen International on Sept. 4 having just learned that his title sponsor DHL was on the brink of signing a contract extension through the 2020 season with Andretti Autosport. It was great news.Since then:? He and his wife Beccy welcomed a third child to their Florida home, a healthy baby boy named Rhodes, on Wednesday.? Later the same day, Beccys father, Bob Gordon, and his wife perished in what Orange County (Calif.) police are calling a murder-suicide.? Friday was Beccys birthday. Thats the same day Ryan went back to work, stepping into his No. 28 DHL Honda Indy car across the country at Sonoma Raceway to practice for the GoPro Grand Prix of Sonoma.? Sunday afternoon, Hunter-Reay and the Andretti Autosport team signed the contract extension and made the news public.Few people have experienced the wide spectrum of emotions that have affected Hunter-Reay over the past few days, yet once strapped into his bright yellow race car at Sonoma, he was at his level-headed best.In a season when most Honda cars have struggled for qualifying speed on road courses, Hunter-Reay advanced to the Firestone Fast Six for only the third time this year.While he understandably misses his wife and family, being in the company of his extended work family has brought the driver comfort at a difficult time.Absolutely, Hunter-Reay said Sunday, speaking to a small group of reporters after the media conference to announce his contract extension.Especially to be surrounded by a group of people I work so well with. They feel like family; theyre my friends. I know this is not about me, but being here is what everyone wanted and it has been a great bit of relief.Nothing can really prepare you for any of it, but on the professional side, things are going in the right direction and todays announcement is great news, he added. Im very happy about this and obviously its been a lot of highs and some lows. Its just been a wild ride for the past week and a half.Hunter-Reay has been though his share of professional stress and strife. After winning an Indy car race as a rookie in 2003 in the Champ Car World Series, he struggled to maintain a foothold in the sport over the next few years.He caught a break when Rahal Letterman Racing signed him in mid-2007, but even though he won a race, that ride fell through when the sponsor pulled out of racing and he faced several winters of uncertainty.Michael Andretti scraped together enough backing to sign Hunter-Reay to a three-race deal at the start of 2011, and once again, RHR came through by posting a win at Long Beach in his third start. The Andretti/Hunter-Reay combination has been together ever since, with DHL signing on as title sponsor in 2012.Now the most experienced American driver in the IndyCar Series is contracted for three years as opposed to three races.I was on the brink there in 2006-07, Hunter-Reay admitted. I was maybe a month or two away from going and doing something else with my life when Bobby Rahal gave me the chance at Rahal Letterman. Every time I got in the car I knew I had to prove myself immediately because it wasnt going to be a two-year deal where I could just take my time to develop.That fighting mentality was instilled at that time, when I was given opportunities and not a lot of time to prove myself.Beccy was a big part of Ryans support network in those tough times, and now the couple are established in the fabric of the IndyCar Series. Having grown up in a racing family (Bob Gordon was a well-known off-road racer, and brother Robby is a former Indy car and NASCAR star), she understands why it was so important for Ryan to get back into his work environment this weekend.That didnt make it any easier for Ryan.Beccy is doing amazing, Ryan said. Shes strong, and focusing on a newborn baby has been a blessing at this time. Its amazing how strong she is, how strong Robby has been, and her sisters Robyn and Hailey. Its blown me away because this is nothing you can prepare for. This isnt as simple as a life passing.Team owner Michael Andretti had no doubt that Hunter-Reay would be in the car this weekend. As a former driver, Michael knows that being in the car is the best sanctuary during emotional times for a racer.Michael famously continued competing in the 1992 Indianapolis 500 after his father Mario and brother Jeff were both hospitalized with significant leg injuries from crashes.Hes a professional, Andretti said. He even made the comment that hes so happy to be here at the racetrack and getting back in the car because hes able to just focus on that. Thats the best medicine. I know how he feels; Ive been there where I had to focus when there were outside things. It was always good to get in and just do your job and I know thats the way it is with him.I truly believe hes one of the best and its very important to have a talent like him on your team, Andretti added. Now hes got stability as well and thats huge. Its big for him, its big for us, its big for the team itself.Now in the most secure position of his career, its likely that the best is yet to come for Hunter-Reay. Hes won 16 races and the 2012 championship, making him the most successful American driver currently competing in the IndyCar Series, and at age 35, hes just hitting his prime.Hes the lead driver for Hondas flagship Indy car team, putting him in prime position to capitalize if the manufacturer can gain the upper hand over its competition from Chevrolet.And even though he has been put through a world of worry in the last week, the next four years look pretty much care-free.To not stress about a contract, I cant tell you how beneficial it is to the racing side, Hunter-Reay said. You dont have to think about the pressure involved in that. You can just go out there and put everything on the line and you know that if you over step the edge or if you try to make that pass and it doesnt work out, its not going to blow back on you.I know when we get this program sorted, were going to contend for championships.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- With a pair of long touchdown passes, Boston College picked up its first victory in almost a year and may have changed its reputation as a run-first offense in the process.Patrick Towles hit former quarterback Jeff Smith on back-to-back, one-play TD drives, and substitute Mike Knoll connected on a pair of field goals on Saturday as the Eagles beat Massachusetts 26-7 for their first win in 10 games.BC was trailing 7-0 late in the second quarter when Towles, taking over at the UMass 46-yard line, found Smith on the first play of the drive. After the Minutemen fumbled at their own 36, Towles again hit Smith on the first play to give the Eagles the lead for good.Totally turned the game around, BC coach Steve Addazio said. Now we have the ability to go and strike it (big).BC has long been known as a rushing team, sending backs like Heisman Trophy finalist Andre Williams to the NFL, along with enough run-blockers to staff a couple of offensive lines. But when Addazio saw UMass trying to crowd the line of scrimmage to take away the ground game, he decided it was time to go for it.People dont expect those shots on first down, especially from us, said Towles, who completed 12 of 22 passes for 191 yards for the Eagles (1-1) and also ran 12 times for 66 yards. Well take that.Smith had five catches for 98 yards, and Jon Hilliman ran 22 times for 54 yards and a 15-yard touchdown for BC, which last won on Sept. 25, 2015, against Northern Illinois. The Eagles lost their final eight games last season and their opener last week, 17-14 to Georgia Tech in Ireland.You need to enjoy the wins, Addazio said. This is a tough game, a tough business were all in. This easily could have been a different scenario, when youre coming off what we came off of.Colton Lichtenberg missed a pair of short field goals last week; Addazio said he was unavailable on Saturday because of a strain in his kicking leg. Knoll, who had been used exclusively in kickoffs, missed his first point-after attempt but converted the second time to make it 13-7.He added third-quarter field goals of 40 and 37 yards.Its unfortuunate Colton went down, Knoll said. Chad Kelly Jersey. But hell be back and well all be kicking lights out.UMass (0-2) put a scare into No. 25 Florida last week, trailing just 10-7 into the fourth quarter. Returning to their sometime home at Gillette Stadium, the Minutemen took a 7-0 lead on a 58-yard pass from Ross Comis to Adam Breneman late in the first quarter.Comis went 11 of 28 for 145 yards and a touchdown. But he also had a pair of first-half fumbles and threw an interception in the third quarter; the turnovers led to 10 BC points.I can give you the old adage, `Ill look at the tape. But, yeah, he lost the game, UMass coach Mark Whipple said. As the quarterback, you dont like to lose. Weve only got two touchdowns in two games.NICE TO BE HEREWith BCs kicking troubles the past few years, Knoll was one of the players requested to the postgame interview area.Yeah, you dont get called up very often. Its good, Knoll said, breaking into a smile. Thanks for bringing me in.Reminded that a kicker is usually asked to speak after missing a field goal, he said: Yeah, thats true. Thats the life we chose.SETTLE DOWNThe Eagles trailed 7-0 and had just 55 total yards in the opening quarter. The touchdowns 84 seconds apart in the second quarter helped the offense relax, Smith said.Being down, that was a real surprise, he said. But I think scoring those two touchdowns quick, really picked (us) up and helped the defense, too. It really gave us confidence to come out in the second half.THE TAKEAWAYBC: In light of BCs struggles to win in the conference, finishing off the Minutemen gives them an FBS win before heading into the ACC opener against Virginia Tech next week.UMASS: After staying close against No. 25 Florida, the Minutemen put another scare into a major college team. But Whipples independent team needs to finish off a victory if it is going to attract an invitation from a conference.UP NEXTBC: Plays at Virginia Tech on Saturday.UMASS: Hosts Florida International on Saturday.

WASHINGTON -- Washington Nationals manager Dusty Baker took a chance using closer Jonathan Papelbon for a third consecutive day. Mitchell Trubisky Jersey . It didnt work out.Papelbon allowed four runs in the ninth inning as the San Diego Padres secured a 10-6 victory over the Nationals on Sunday.Not to make excuses, I dont like to use my closer three days in a row and this is three days in a row for Pap, Baker said. But we didnt have a choice. The ball wasnt coming out today the way it had been since he came back from the injury.Papelbon (2-3), who hadnt pitched on three consecutive days since May 29-31, insisted he was not tired.San Diego won two of three against Washington to earn its first series victory over the Nationals since May 2011. Ryan Buchter (2-0) pitched a scoreless eighth to earn the victory.Alex Dickerson and Ryan Schimpf hit back-to-back homers off Shawn Kelley in the eighth to tie it before the ninth-inning outburst.With the game tied at 6, Wil Myers drew a one-out walk off Papelbon and moved to second on a wild pitch before Yangervis Solartes RBI single. The Padres added two more singles to load the bases, setting up Alexei Ramirezs three-run double.I think just location, Papelbon said. Coming in there, a situation where weve got to preserve everything we can, and every pitch matters in that situation. One pitch away from getting out of that. Boiled down to missed location on Solarte and he was able to just get enough barrel on the ball to have that one drop right in front of (outfielder Michael A.) Taylor. Once that happened, kind of the same thing happened with the next few hitters.Baker then relieved Papelbon, who was booed after giving up his first runs since June 12. Papelbon had made seven scoreless appearances since returning from the disabled list earlier this month.Washington recalled top prospect Lucas Giolito before the game. The right-hander, making his third career start, gave up four runs and four hits in 3 1/3 innings, then was optioned back to Triple-A Syracuse along with outfielder Michael A. Taylor after the loss.Wilson Ramos homered and had three RBI for the Nationals.WERTH EXTENDS ON-BASE STREAKWashington outfielder Jayson Werth extended his on-base streak to 28 games with a walk in the first inning. It is the longest active streak in the majors and a game shy of the longest streak of Werths career.GLOVER OPTIONEDWashington optioned RHP Koda Glover to Triple-A Syracuse.

Marcus Williams Youth Jersey . --?Tony Stewarts insurance company does not have to cover the three-time Sprint Cup champion for any damages sought by the family of Kevin Ward Jr., a U.S. District Court judge ruled Friday.Stewarts car struck and killed the 20-year-old Ward after Ward exited his vehicle and approached Stewarts car on foot in a sprint-car race Aug. 9, 2014, at Canandaigua (New York) Motorsports Park.Tony Stewart Racing, which operates Stewarts sprint-car fleet, had policies with Axis Insurance Company, but Axis had argued in court documents that it did not have to cover Stewart because the Empire Super Sprints race was not included in the TSR policies.Those policies had $4 million in coverage, and a provision listed the events covered -- 65 World of Outlaws events, 30 USAC sprint-car events and 10 USAC Silver Crown events.Stewart had argued that the specific series listing was the result of underwriting confusion, and the policy covered TSR drivers competing in other events.[The] Policy is unambiguously limited by the Schedule of Events endorsement, which does not include the ESS Event where Stewart struck Ward. Therefore, Axis is not obligated to provide a defense or indemnification to Stewart in connection with the Ward Action, U.S. District Court Judge David Hurd wrote in a decision issued Friday.Stewart attorney Brian Gwitt said he had no comment on the decision and whether there would be an appeal.The decision leaves Stewart to pay all of his attorney fees in defense of claims from the Ward family, as well as any claims determined through a settlement or a trial.Wards parents seek unspecified damages, alleging Stewart could have avoided their son in the accident.The case is pending in U.S. District Court in Utica (Hurd is also the judge in that case) with a discovery deadline of Jan. 6. The deadline to file motions after discovery is Feb. 8 with no firm trial date set.Stewart, who was not indicted by a grand jury in Wards death, has said in court documents he didnt see Ward until just before Ward attempted to make contact with his car.He has said it was 100 percent accidental, and Stewarts court filings show Wards toxicology report indicates that he used marijuana within five hours of the race.

Manchester City will be many pundits Premier League champions elect if they record a seventh straight win in Sundays game against Tottenham Hotspur.Pep Guardiolas City (6-0-0) have yet to be truly threatened in domestic action under their new boss, even in a headline-grabbing derby fixture against Jose Mourinhos Manchester United.But this visit to White Hart Lane should be -- on paper at least -- their toughest test yet. The game pits first in the table against second; the best attack in the league against the best defence. Tottenham (4-2-0) also beat the Sky Blues 4-1 in this fixture last season before running out 2-1 victors on the road in February to give hope of a title challenge that never truly materialised.City, though, are in a different proposition under the guidance of Guardiola, but the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss has great respect for his north London opponent.The way (Spurs) play, I like a lot -- theyre aggressive and have a lot of quality, Guardiola said. All of the fans who like football and watch football can enjoy -- theyre proactive, not reactive. There are many teams who wait to see what you do and then react, but they dont wait to see what theyre going to do. They want to create their own game. Thats why I like them.When I saw the last game against CSKA Moscow, against Liverpool, against Middlesbrough, I like what Im watching.And the City boss also had kind words to say about his opposite number, Mauricio Pochettino -- a coach who he clashed with on occasion during their time together in La Liga.(Pochettino) is doing an amazing job in London at Spurs, Guardiola said. I think hes one of the best managers in the world -- I enjoy watching Tottenham.Guardiola is right to be wary of Spurs.City were given plenty of problems in midweek by Brendan Rodgers Celttic, who employed a high-intensity pressing style to unsettle their visitors defence in a high-octane 3-3 Champions League draw. Alvin Kamara Youth Jersey. Of all the teams in the Premier League, Tottenham are among the most effective at pressing opponents high up the pitch. They will look to follow Celtics lead in the hope to achieve parity with their illustrious neighbours, on the pitch at least.While the league table may suggest that these sides are on a close-to equal footing, the reality is that Citys star quality and spending power is on a level that far exceeds that of Spurs.It is difficult to compare Tottenham and Manchester City, Pochettino said. You look at their budget, the salaries they pay and compare it with Tottenham, and it is very clear.If you look at my first season here, 2014-15, and compare it with Guardiolas -- how much he has spent, and how much I spend then. We have very different projects.First-choice centre-forward Harry Kane is out for Tottenham with an ankle injury, but Pochettino is keeping his cards close to his chest over his squads other injury concerns. Eric Dier, Mousa Dembele, Moussa Sissoko, Kyle Walker and Danny Rose all face late fitness tests, with at least four of the five expected to start if cleared to feature.Man City are missing the influential Kevin de Bruyne for the next month, while perennially injured captain Vincent Kompany and midfielder Fabian Delph are also unavailable.A total of 22 goals have been scored in the last five top-flight meetings between these clubs.Pep Guardiola could set a new Premier League record for consecutive wins as a new manager with victory on Sunday, surpassing Carlo Ancelottis previous best of six.

Andy Murray insists he is not thinking about the world No. Dion Dawkins Womens Jersey . 1 spot after beating Gilles Simon in straight sets to reach his second successive final in Asia.The 29-year-old will play Roberto Bautista Agut in the final of the Shanghai Masters after the Spaniard shocked current No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the first semi-final.It will be Murrays career-best 10th final of the season following last weeks success at the China Open in Beijing and he is continuing to close the gap to Serbian Djokovic at the top of the world rankings.Although Murray is confident of becoming the worlds best player, he is realistic in his chances of achieving that feat this year.He told Sky Sports: I said that I want to try to get to No. 1, but this year is going to be extremely difficult.The loss (by Djokovic) today helps me a little bit, but Im still quite far away from him, so Im not thinking about the No. 1 ranking this week or right now.The start of the year Novak had was incredible and because it was three, four months ago, its almost like people are forgetting that he won the Aussie Open, Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid and French Open, so hes a long way ahead of me.I just want to finish this year as best as I can, its been the most successful in my career. The last few months have been some of the most consistent I have been, so I just want to keep it going until the end of the year and finish as strong as possible.The Scot admitted he found the going tough against Simon, despite winning his 10th straight match without dropping a set.Murray said: Obviously there were a lot of breaks of serves and Gilles is a tough guy to play against. Not many players play like him, he hits the ball extremely flat, better than anyone.Hes extremely quick around the court, he changes direction extremely well and its sometimes difficult to get the balance -- whether to go for your shots or play possum and slow it down a bit.Its not always easy to get the tactics right, but I managed to get through it.On final opponent Bautista Agut, he added: Hes had some very good wins this week. He beat (Jo-Wilfried) Tsonga in the round before so hes obviously playing very well.He pushes the top guys a lot, hes improving all the time and hes going to be highly-motivated for his first Masters Series final, so a lot to play for for both of us and it should be a great match.

Coach Mike Munchak says Fokou stretched ligaments in his left knee Oct. 13 against Seattle, which could keep out up to five weeks even though the linebacker didnt need surgery. NEW YORK -- The non-stop nature of soccer helped and hindered NBCs Arlo White and Kate Markgraf in their coverage of the U.S. womens team, which lost to Sweden on penalty kicks and was bounced from the Olympics.The USA are distraught, White said, describing the aftermath of Lisa Dahlkvists deciding penalty.He expertly built the tension throughout the broadcast and reflected the significance of the three-time defending Olympic champions and defending World Cup winners heading home without a medal. White and Markgraf even caught a bit of soccer gamesmanship before the last penalty kick, when U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo changed gloves to make Dahlkvist wait a little while and think about her shot.There were two huge moments right before the penalty kicks when the Americans and then the Swedes had goals disallowed by the referee on what appeared to be questionable offside calls.Asked to take a stand on Lotta Schelins disallowed goal for Sweden, Markgraf hedged. The refs call appeared wrong, she said, but I do need to take another look at the play.She never got tthat chance. Zay Jones Bills Jersey. The soccer clock keeps ticking. When the extra time period ended shortly thereafter, NBC switched to a round of commercials and the controversial calls were not re-examined. Contrast that to an American football game, when theres enough downtime after a close call to see about a dozen replays.RATINGS: NBCs Thursday prime time, which featured gold-medal performances from American gymnast Simone Biles, swimmer Simone Manuel and, of course, Michael Phelps, reached 31.2 million, the Nielsen company said. That was the second highest viewership of the Rio de Janeiro Games so far, and ticked up to 33 million when online streaming and NBCSNs prime-time telecast are added in. NBC still hasnt topped its record-setting London Games from 2012, however, which had 36.8 million for the corresponding night.---Follow David Bauder at twitter.com/dbauder.

(STATS) -- Playing in its first-ever FCS playoff game Saturday, North Dakota might have gotten ahead of itself when it held a 17-point lead on Richmond late in the third quarter.Surely, Richmonds playoff experience was reflected in its composure.The Spiders scored the final 20 points, capped by Griffin Traus 18-yard field goal as time expired, and the CAA Football squad stunned the No. 7-seeded Fighting Hawks 27-24 in a second-round game at Alerus Center in Grand Forks.Richmond (10-3) will head across the country once again next Saturday to face a second straight Big Sky Conference co-champion, No. 2 seed Eastern Washington (11-1), in the quarterfinals.I cant be more proud of this football team, Richmond coach Danny Rocco said. :The toughness they put on display tonight was phenomenal.
