The Big Ten reprimanded Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh and fined the school $10,000 on Monday for violating the conferences sportsmanship policy by criticizing officials after the Ohio State game.Harbaugh blasted the officiating after the Wolverines 30-27 double-overtime loss Saturday in Columbus, Ohio, saying he was bitterly disappointed during a lengthy rant.He complained about an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty he drew in the second half of the game when he tossed headphones and a play card, a pass interference against Michigan that prolonged a key drive for the Buckeyes and a non-call of pass interference against Ohio State. He was most ardent about the spot of a fourth-down play that gave the Buckeyes a first down in overtime when a stop would have won the game for the Wolverines.Ohio State scored the winning touchdown on the next play.The Big Teen cited its sportsmanship policy in punishing Harbaugh, saying his comments were in violation of a portion that states in part that The Big Ten Conference expects all contests involving a member institution to be conducted without compromise to any fundamental element of sportsmanship. Brad Davis Jersey. Such fundamental elements include integrity of competition, civility toward all, and respect, particularly toward opponents and officials.The statement said the conference would have no further comment.Michigans loss to the Buckeyes prevented the Wolverines from earning a spot in the Big Ten title game and likely ended their hopes of reaching the College Football Playoff.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org 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 Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '

Iowa has come to be known for its smart, tough and physical offensive lines. Ruben Yanez Real Madrid Jersey .This season, the Hawkeyes earned an award for that prowess that had special meaning to coach Kirk Ferentz.Last week, Iowa was named the winner of the second annual Joe Moore Award, given to the nations top offensive line. The honors namesake was one of the most respected line coaches in the history of college football -- and made a deep impression on Ferentz during a season spent as a graduate assistant on the same staff with Moore at Pittsburgh in 1980.The 21st-ranked Hawkeyes (8-4) will try to finish the season on a four-game winning streak when they face No. 20 Florida (8-4) in the Outback Bowl on Jan. 2.Hes probably the reason Im here right now. On a lot of levels, said Ferentz, who also played high school ball under Moore, on Thursday. He was a really special person in my life.Unlike many college football honors, the selection process for Moore Award finalists and its winner is tough to dispute. Every FBS line coach in the country gets a vote, and the award committee evaluates line play by video every week.Despite leaky play at points in 2016, Iowa beat out Alabama and Ohio State because of what committee chair Aaron Taylor, a former All-American lineman under Moore at Notre Dame, said was teamwork.The Hawkeyes needed nearly every lineman they had this season.Iowa was forced to use eight different starting units, and none of their linemen started all 12 games. But the Hawkeyes put it together down the stretch, throttling Nebraska 40-10 in the season finale.Iowa was also a finalist for the award in 2015.It honors a group. Not an individual. And when you talk about the offensive line, thats what its all about, Ferentz said.The good news for the Hawkeyes is that every lineman listed as a starter against the Gators will be back in 2017.Whether that will be enough to help fix one of the lowest scoring offenses in the country will be heavily debated in the offseason.Iowas young receivers didnt do much developing in 2016, although the expected return of star wide receiver Matt VandeBerg should give the Hawkeyes more stability. Freshman quarterback Nathan Stanley looked solid in limited duty, and running back Akrum Wadley will be among the early favorites for Big Ten player of the year.But it will all start up front -- and the Hawkeyes look like theyre in good shape there moving forward.The thing Im happiest about and proudest of this football team thus far is just the way theyve stayed with things. Theyve stayed determined, theyve stayed positive, and stayed together. Theyve pushed forward. So whether its the offensive line or entire football team, I think thats what weve witnessed.---More college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org Mateo Kovacic Jersey . The 18-year-old American had five birdies in her bogey-free round for a 17-under total of 196. Lee held the overnight lead but mixed three birdies with two bogeys for a 70. Kiko Casilla Jersey . Three came down to the fourth quarter while quarterbacks continued to shine in all four games; so important to the overall quality of the game. http://www.realmadridfcprohop.us/Keylor-Navas-Real-Madrid-Jersey/ . It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing. Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days. In recent years, no tennis player has been more physically fit than Andy Murray. Mental fitness, however -- particularly under duress -- has been an enduring issue.For the better part of six years, Novak Djokovic has been the best player in the world, the consummate model of commitment and mental toughness.And now, after Murrays decisive 6-3, 6-4 finals victory Sunday over Djokovic at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, they have traded places.With the year-end No. 1 ranking on the line in a single match, Murray absolutely commanded the court, dictating to Djokovic the way Djokovic dictated to him in winning 24 of 34 previous matches -- and 16 of the past 19.In two of those matches, back in January in the Australian Open final and, four months later, in the final at Roland Garros, Djokovic was indomitable. But here, the roles were reversed.I just played very poorly, made a lot of unforced errors from the backhand side, Djokovic said to the media afterward. On the other hand, credit to Andy for being mentally tough and playing the right shots, making me play extra shots in every rally. He definitely deserved to win.Murrays forehand was massive, and so were both his first and second serves, but it was his composure that was so unnerving to the man across the net. Two points from the match, at 30-all, Murray fearlessly bounded up to the net and forced a long lob.It was obviously a big match, a very important win for me, Murray said later. It was just a huge match to finish the year, to try and obviously finish No. 1. Obviously, this is a major event, as well, and one Ive not done well in in the past.So its been a great week.Djokovic, the four-time defending champion, meanwhile, was a mess -- off balance and tentative.Tellingly, he missed a bunny of an overhead in the sixth game of the first set and an even easier volley in the fourth game of the second. His cross-court backhand, the best and most natural shot in his entire palette, missed early and often.Djokovic came in with an enormous edge in terms of freshness. He dropped only five games in his Friday and Saturday matches; Murray went 3 hours, 38 minutes in his Saturday semifinal win over Milos Raonic, his second three-hour-plus match of the tournament.But fatigue was never a problem for Murray, whose bodyy language was exemplary. Marcelo Real Madrid Jersey. I guess, even though he has had very long matches, especially the one yesterday, people were thinking maybe hes going to be slightly tired, Djokovic said. But he didnt seem so. More than anything, he felt comfortable in the rallies and exactly knew what to do.Murrays first big push to the top came four years ago. He won the gold medal at home in the London Olympics, and then, after losing his first four Grand Slam finals, he finally won one, the 2012 US Open, beating Djokovic in the final. The same scenario played out at Wimbledon the following year.Ivan Lendl, who coached Murray through that best-ever stretch, gets a lot of credit for giving him the gift of confidence. Lendl, a no-nonsense, eight-time Grand Slam singles champion, implored the cautious Murray to aim for the lines -- and not to despair when he missed. Going for it, Murray came to learn, was the same thing as believing in yourself.That surge might have eventually taken him to No. 1, but back surgery after the 2013 US Open and the departure of Lendl early the next year arrested that potential championship development.In June, Lendl agreed to return to Murrays coaching box, but he has hardly been a fixture in the athletes daily routine. Back in February, Murray and his wife, Kim, became parents. Pretty much ever since, outside of that French Open final and a five-set quarterfinal loss to?Kei Nishikori?at the US Open, things have gone swimmingly for Murray.At the age of 29, he finds himself ranked No. 1 for the first time ever. Murray finished the season on a run of 24 consecutive match wins. This, after establishing a career-best of 22 straight victories earlier this year.Thats a ton of momentum going into 2017.I would like to try and stay there, obviously, Murray said of the No. 1 ranking. Its taken a huge effort the last five, six months to get there. Im aware thats going to be extremely difficult because I had a great year this year. I only managed to do it by one match. To repeat that again next year is going to be extremely difficult.But now that Ive got there, I obviously would be motivated to try and stay in that position.

CLEVELAND -- Cleveland Indians two-time all-star closer Chris Perez, charged with misdemeanour possession after marijuana was mailed to his home in his dogs name, told drug agents he had pot for personal use and pointed out two jars, according to investigative reports. Nicklas Lidstrom Red Wings Jersey . Asked about any drugs or weapons by officers who went to the Perez home on Tuesday with a search warrant, "Perez responded that he had personal use marijuana in the basement and volunteered to direct the officers to the location of it," an investigative report said. "He pointed out a number of items of paraphernalia along with two separate mason jars containing a green vegetable matter suspected of being marijuana," it said. Police, tipped off to suspicious packages by postal inspectors, arranged a delivery Tuesday under surveillance, and Perezs wife, Melanie, accepted two packages, the reports said. Melanie Perez, whose maiden name is Baum, told the undercover officer delivering the packages that they were intended for her dog, named Brody. The package was addressed to Brody Baum, according to postal inspectors. A later house search under warrant began while Perez and his wife were out for lunch and a movie, the reports said. A baby sitter was caring for two children. Police say Perez returned home and mentioned personal marijuana use to the search team of officers. Perez, 27, and his 29-year-old wife were charged in a complaint filed Friday with misdemeanour drug possession involving just over one-third of a pound of marijuana, suburban Rocky River police said. The two havent commented, but their attorney said they would plead not guilty. "We ask that people not rush to judgment. We are confident of a favourable outcome," lawyer Terry Gilbert said in a statement on their behalf. Perez and his wife were released on personal bond. "Clearly we take these matters seriously and are disappointed whenever there is any negative attention brought to the Indians organization or one of our players," team general manager Chris Antonetti said in a statement. "We understand and respect that there is an ongoing legal process that we will allow to evolve." Manager Terry Francona had little to say about the matter before Clevelands game at Detroit on Friday night. "Hes got some friends that care about him, which makes sense, and Ive spoken to him a couple times," Francona said. "But out of respect to the situation and the process, were really not allowed to talk about it." Under the drug agreement between Major League Baseball and its players association, marijuana offences generally result with the player undergoing a treatment program rather than discipline. Questioned when investigators returned to the house hours after the delivery, Melanie Perez told them that she doesnt smoke marijuana but that her husband "had drug paraphernalia" in the house. Asked whether the marijuana shipment was intended for her husband, Melanie Perez responded, "What did Chris say?" according to the investigative report. The packages smelled of marijuana and had a Los Angeles return address with a name that wasnt associated with that location, postal inspectors said. Dan Chaplin, a Cleveland defence attorney not connected with the case, compared the charge to a traffic ticket and said a conviction likely would be punished with a fine. Perez has six saves this season but is on the disabled list with an injured right shoulder. Francona was asked how his recovery is going. "You know what? He was at the ballpark -- actually, through all this, I forgot to even ask," Francona said. "Through all of this, I didnt even ask, and I need to." Perez, an often-polarizing figure, and Cleveland fans have gotten on each others nerves over the past couple of years. He recently deactivated his Twitter account after criticism from fans following a couple of bad outings. In previous seasons, Perez has lashed out at fans for not coming to games, and at owners for not spending money on free agents.

GENEVA -- It was the FIFA ethics investigation many hoped would remove Russia and Qatar as World Cup hosts.But two years after disputed details of the so-called Garcia Report into the 2018-2022 World Cup bid campaigns were first revealed, it is still not close to being published.Switzerlands federal prosecution office suggests it might take three more years before its investigation of alleged FIFA-linked money laundering is complete and the 430-page dossier can be published.FIFA critics and presidential candidates have often demanded that the Garcia Report -- read in its entirety by perhaps as few as seven authorized people -- be released to help judge if the hosting contests were won fairly in a December 2010 vote of the soccer bodys scandal-tainted executive committee.Michael Garcia, the FIFA ethics prosecutor who led the investigation, himself asked for appropriate publication that would protect witnesses before he resigned to protest how his work was handled.Still, the American lawyers report was the basis of a criminal complaint by FIFA to Switzerlands federal prosecutors on Nov. 18, 2014 -- and must stay sealed and confidential during that case.The Swiss federal investigation of suspected criminal mismanagement and money laundering during the 11-nation bid campaigns might not be over when the next World Cup kicks off in June 2018 in Moscow.This type of criminal proceeding (is) time consuming and resource intense. Usually, respective proceedings take some three to five years, the office of Swiss attorney general Michael Lauber said in a statement to The Associated Press.As the report in question is to be seen as evidence in ongoing criminal proceedings, the OAG hardly sees any legally justifiable way the report (can be) published, the Swiss federal office said.Laubers team currently has 172 suspicious transactions which passed through Swiss banks to examine.Adding to the Swiss workload, prosecutions of alleged corruption that spun off the original FIFA case are ongoing against former president Sepp Blatter, fired secretary general Jerome Valcke, and organizers of the 2006 World Cup including Germany great Franz Beckenbauer.A further complication is that potential witnesses, including some FIFA voters six years ago, are scattered worldwide, have not returned to Switzerland and previously refused to answer Garcias questions.Garcias ultimately short career at FIFA is defined by an investigation many hoped would lead to a re-run of the 2018-2022 hosting votes.Appointed in July 2012 by an executive committee he would investigate, the former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York was given unlimited time and resources but limited evidence-gatheringg powers within a new FIFA Code of Ethics. Niklas Kronwall Red Wings Jersey. In September 2014, Garcia submitted his 350-page investigation into seven bid candidates, plus a further 80 pages of files on American and Russian bids which were investigated by his deputy, Cornel Borbely.On Nov. 13, 2014, FIFA published a 42-page summary by chief ethics judge Joachim Eckert. It left Garcia furious.Eckert wrote that while he saw certain occurrences that were suited to impair the integrity of the vote, they were limited in scope. The German judge advised Blatters executive committee to let the results stand.Within hours, Garcia hit out at numerous materially incomplete and erroneous representations of facts and conclusions. He challenged Eckerts summary at the FIFA appeals committee.Garcia resigned a month later after FIFA dismissed his appeal.The Report identified serious and wide-ranging issues with the bidding and selection process, Garcia wrote in a resignation statement, citing his lost confidence in Eckerts independence and Blatters leadership.Garcia has not commented since, and declined comment to the AP for this article.As Garcia and Eckert very publicly fell out, FIFA filed the Swiss criminal complaint and further legal opinions were sought which supported Eckerts position. Blatter later invited Eckert to publish a redacted report when any subsequent ethics cases were complete.At least two known cases -- involving former FIFA vice president Chung Mong-joon and former bid inspector Harold Mayne-Nicholls -- are still active, FIFA told the AP in a recent statement. Both men got reduced ethics ban at the FIFA appeals panel and could go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.Due to ongoing ethics proceedings and the possibility that further cases might be opened in the future, a publication of the `Garcia Report is not possible at the moment, Eckerts office said in a statement.It is Lauber, however, who is set to shape the legacy of the multi-million dollar Garcia investigation.Garcia himself wrote, in summary by Eckert, about the limitations of his work.To assume, e.g., that envelopes full of cash are given in exchange for votes on a FIFA World Cup host is naive, the 42-page summary stated. Corruption, also in general business not linked to football, is executed in much more sophisticated ways, including money transfers through several different accounts of consultants, trusts, offshore companies, etc.Laubers federal prosecutors have the mandate to explore those channels within a criminal case that he formally opened in 2015 -- on March 10, Blatters birthday.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Al Macinnis Blues Jersey . -- Down by three goals early in the second period, Nashville looked to its captain to turn the tide.Mike Fisher scored twice and the Predators rallied to beat the St. Louis Blues 6-3 on Tuesday night.Yeah, its a great effort, being down like that and finding a way to come back and playing really good in the second and third period -- against a great team, too, a division rival, Fisher said. That was a big win.James Neal, Filip Forsberg, Ryan Johansen and Mike Ribeiro also scored for Nashville, which snapped a two-game skid.After trailing 3-0, the Predators scored six straight goals to earn their 10th home victory of the season.Youre not going to come back a lot of nights from 3-0. So the fact that we were able to, from the time James scored until the end of the game, play the style the way we needed to in order to be successful, was a positive, Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said.Kevin Shattenkirk, Ryan Reaves and Brad Hunt scored for St. Louis, which lost three of four on its road trip.Its always tough being at the end of a road trip, but weve been a good road team here over the last few years, Blues defenseman Alex Pietrangelo said. You cant use that as an excuse.With the game tied at 3, Colin Wilson carried the puck down the left side. Wilson waited as Blues defenseman Joel Edmundson slid along the ice in an attempt to take away his passing lane. Wilson slid a pass around Edmundsons skate and found Fisher in the low slot, where the Predators captain beat goalie Jake Allen with a one-timer at 9:02 of the third.I saw him go onto his stomach and I just brought it around, Wilson said. Fish put himself into a good area where I could actually get it to him, so it was a good job by him.Wilson and Viktor Arvidsson each had two assists.Shattenkirk scored the first goal at 10:12 of the opening period. From the right point, his wrist shot deflected off Predators defenseman Roman Josi and by goalie Pekka Rinne, who finished with 23 saves.Reaves made it 2-0 at 16:41 of the first.From below the goal line, Kyle Broadziak made a spinning backhand pass to Reaves in the left faceoff circle. Reaves skated toward the slot and beat Rinne with a wrist shot high to the glove side.Hunts first of the season made it 3-0 at 1:49 of the second.The Predators cut St. Louis lead to 3-2 with goals 2:15 apart in the second.Neal scored his team-leading 12th of the season at 4:07 with a wrist shot from the slot after a faceoff win by Johansen in the offensive zone.Forsberg followed at 6:22 with a long-range wrist shot that beat Allen between the pads. The goal was just the third for Forsberg, who equaled a franchise high with 33 last season.We had a 3-2 lead going into the third period, Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said. Its been three games like this that we lost on the road where weve had the game taken from us in the third period.Nashville won for the first time this season when trailing entering the third.Johansen tied it at 3:04 of the third with a wrist shot from the left faceoff dot that beat Allen to the far side.Ribeiro ended Allens night when he scored at 10:31. Ex-Predator Carter Hutton replaced Allen and finished the game in goal for the Blues.Fisher added an empty-net goal with 1:22 remaining.Game notes Blues LW David Perron played in his 600th NHL game. ...

Jose Mourinho has changed his tune when it comes to the Europa League.Nine months ago, when Mourinho was coaching a Chelsea side struggling for form, he was openly dismissive of the prospect of playing in Europes second-tier competition, saying it was a different level of competition for a different level of player and a different level of club. It is not good for a big club to go there and win it.On Wednesday and now in charge of Manchester United, Mourinho was embracing it.We want to win the competition, Mourinho said, a day before United begins its group-stage campaign with a match at Dutch side Feyenoord. Its difficult to do it, its simple to feel it and to say. This is the way we want to approach the competition.Of course, Mourinho is not the reason why United is in the Europa League this season. The team missed out on the Champions League by finishing in fifth place in the Premier League under predecessor Louis van Gaal, and United now must enduree the Thursday-Sunday fixture schedule that many English teams have found so tough in recent years. Scottie Upshall Jersey. Mourinho believes it makes winning the Premier League this season even harder for United.Its more difficult, yes, he said.United has taken a strong squad to the Netherlands, although it is missing first-team regulars Wayne Rooney, Luke Shaw and Antonio Valencia as Mourinho looks ahead to Sundays Premier League game at Watford.On the absence of captain Rooney, Mourinho said: He plays every game since the beginning of the season. He plays for the England team, 90 minutes the last weekend. I want him to be fresh for the next Premier League match.United is coming off a 2-1 loss to Manchester City in the derby on Saturday, the teams first defeat under Mourinho. Feyenoord has won all five of its games in the Dutch league.

GLENDALE, Ariz. Nemanja Matic Chelsea Jersey UK . -- Despite a four-game losing streak and a disappearing offense, Ryan Fitzpatrick will remain the New York Jets starting quarterback for at least another game.Fitz will be back next week, coach Todd Bowles said after a 28-3 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday at University of Phoenix Stadium.Bowles pulled Fitzpatrick with 8:20 remaining in the game and the Jets trailing 28-3. It was the first time in 22 games as the Jets starter that Fitzpatrick was removed for performance. Backup Geno Smith finished the game.The Jets (1-5) return home to face the slumping Baltimore Ravens (3-3), who have dropped three straight, on Sunday. The Jets have scored only three touchdowns in the past four games, and one of them was a fluke fumble return.Explaining the decision to insert Smith, Bowles said he wanted to get him some reps. He used a baseball analogy and said he was simply inserting a relief pitcher.Its not that I have no confidence in Geno, Bowles said. We have two quarterbacks that can play right now. Fitz is our starter. Anybody back there wouldve been under duress today.Fitzpatricks last pass was a red zone interception at the end of the third quarter. It was his 11th interception of the season and his fourth in the red zone. He completed only 16 of 31 passes for 174 yards. The Jets managed only 230 yards and converted only two of 13 attempts on third down.It definitely wasnt Fitzs fault, Bowles said. He barely had time to throw. Anybody you put back there wouldve had problems.After Fitzpatricks interception, Smith flung his baseball cap, paced anxiously on the sideline and threw a cup of ice on the field. He appeared upset that he wasnt playing.Just frustration, he said. Were not putting up points. Were not winning the game. Our record isnt what we thought it would be or what we think we are.Smith completed his first four passes, but his only series ended with a sack and an interception.Commenting on Bowles decision to stick with Fitzpatrick, Smith said, As a competitor, I want to play at all times. I think you guys know that. I cant reiterate that enough. Its not about me and never has been. Were 1-and-whatever, and we have to pull ourselves out of a hole. No matter who it is, no matter how we spark this thing, we have to figure out a way to get some wins.Wide receiver Brandon Marshall, an outspoken Fitzpatrick supporter, took the blame for the interception and said he ran the wrong route.Ryan read it right, and he threw the pick, but its my pick, he said. Interceptions are on everyone.Fitzpatrick said he didnt want to be removed, but he promised to keep a positive outlook. Later, he stated why he believes he should remain the quarterback.Were sitting at 1-5, so theres obviously stuff that needs to change, he said. I would love to be part of that change, trying to get it headed in the right direction. ... Ive dealt with plenty of adversity in my life.I just think the biggest thing for a quarterback is those guys in the huddle, when they look at you, have to be confident. I think I have that.

Sky Live: Madrid Open Live on Sky Sports until May 8 With world No 1 Novak Djokovic joining the field as the clear favourite, Murray will have his work cut-out. The competition will also include the clay master Rafael Nadal and a host of up-and-comers.Sky Sports expert Barry Cowan answered four key questions... Can Murray beat Nadal on clay? Andy Murray (right) beat Rafa Nadal in last years Madrid final Barry said: Nadal to win. But Andy has an advantage by playing Rafa in Madrid. Rafa has won the title here before, but he would prefer to play clay court matches in Barcelona, Monte Carlo or Roma. Its because of the altitude. I remember a Davis Cup semi-final played in Madrid against the United States, Nadal was very vocal that he didnt want it played there. The game becomes quicker, the ball moves quicker, and you have less time. The big servers come into play. Murrays route to the final Possible future foes for British No 1 At this present stage with the way that Rafa is playing, only Djokovic is better.All the top guys are as comfortable on any of the surfaces. Andy has become very comfortable at moving on clay, when previously he was better on hard courts.He beat Rafa last year, but Rafa was poor. It will be harder this year because Djokovic is playing and Nadal is playing much better.Are Murray and Nadal poised for a successful clay campaign? Rafael Nadal beat Kei Nishikori to claim the Barcelona Open title Barry said: The way Andy played in Monte Carlo suggests he will have a great few weeks. Lionel Messi Argentina Jersey. This part of the year is easier for him than Indian Wells and Miami because hes looking forward to the French Open. He is a master of peaking. You only have to look at his Grand Slam record - he knows how to peak for the big events.I didnt really waiver on Nadal last year but I did this February - he played two tournaments in South America which were a real concern. He had worked so hard to push on this year, but it felt like he was putting himself under too much pressure. He had a lack of belief. He needed to back up his talent in Barcelona, and he certainly did.Its relentless now, the top guys will basically play all the way through from Madrid until the US Open with very little time off. Are Federers recurring injuries a concern? Roger Federer cant turn his back on recent injuries Barry said: The worry is that, once you reach his age, are your little niggles just covering for other injuries? Thats three already hes had this year, two injuries and an illness.As well as taking a toll on his body, it also means hes lacking in matches so he slips further and further behind the other guys who are playing more tennis. Federer withdraws Swiss great out of Madrid Open If you look at the glass half-full, its better to have an injury now than after June. Realistically in the last three or four years, his chances of winning the Australian Open or French Open are going because of the nature of the surfaces. The chances of winning Wimbledon and the US Open are a lot greater. Can Del Potro recapture past glory? Its seven years since Juan Martin Del Potro won the US Open Barry said: From what I saw at Indian Wells and Miami, hes a long way off. For Del Potro, its about playing and getting back onto the court. That wrist injury means he still hits far too many sliced backhands.Hes not going to be able to beat the big guys yet. But is that permanent? I can only judge through what I see during matches, and he cant hit over his backhand. Hes basically going into battle with two out of three weapons.He wont beat a top 10 player with only two weapons working. But hes hitting his backhand more, which is encouraging, and he clearly has rediscovered his passion to compete.

When Kuldeep Yadav bowled chinaman for the first time, he had no idea what it was called. Gabriel Jersey . Left to him, he wouldnt have bowled spin, or even turned up at a cricket net. As with many Indian kids, Kuldeep found himself chasing unfulfilled dreams of the previous generation. Kuldeeps father Ram Singh, a brick-field businessman in Kanpur, had wanted his younger brother, Janardhan Singh, to succeed as a professional cricketer. Janardhan played district-level cricket, but couldnt graduate to the next level.Ramsingh was disappointed his brothers career didnt take off, but he wasnt going to accept defeat; instead, he decided to invest in his son. When Kuldeep was 11, he was sent to a cricket academy to train alongside his uncle. Kuldeep remembers being a timepass cricketer initially; he played a lot of table tennis, but it wasnt as if he wanted to make a career of it either. I was too young to decide what to do, so I just studied, played and generally had fun for about a year, he says.Kuldeeps coach Kapil Pandey, however, thought he had enough talent for serious cricket, but insisted he switch to spin bowling. Kuldeep wasnt happy about it: he idolised Wasim Akram and was obsessed with fast bowling. Even my dad isnt very tall, so my coach thought I wouldnt shoot up enough to become a fast bowler, Kuldeep says. Pandey was proved right as Kuldeep grew no taller than five feet eight inches.When Kuldeep gave spin bowling a shot, he didnt tweak the ball like a fingerspinner would and instead bowled it from the back of his hand. Kuldeep says he doesnt know why he did it, but Pandey liked what he saw. He was impressed with the way my hand opened up at the time of release. He thought I had a rare talent and I should continue bowling that way.Kuldeep is glad he heeded his coachs advice. If I had remained a fast bowler, I would have probably never got to meet Wasim sir, he says with a chuckle. When I told Wasim bhai about it [years later, at Kolkata Knight Riders], he was happy that I stuck to spin bowling.Thereon, Kuldeep never slacked off, packing in two practice sessions every day in the morning and evening. That there was no reference point - there werent any chinaman bowlers around him to emulate - wasnt a hindrance to learning. Kuldeep would try to copy the action of Ravindra Singh Chauhan, a legspinner in his academy. He would also watch videos of his idol Shane Warne and observe his action and rhythm closely. Even now, Kuldeep goes back to Warnes videos, particularly from the 2005 Ashes, whenever he feels he has a problem with his bowling.When he was 14 or 15, Kuldeep was considered too young to play for Uttar Pradeshs Under-17s. In a year or two, Kuldeep was a regular in the India under-19 side, but didnt make the squad for the 2012 World Cup. Kuldeep, then only 17, wasnt perturbed; he knew his time would come. Two years later, he went on to take a hat-trick against Scotland in the Under-19 World Cup and also became the joint second-highest wicket-taker in the tournament, along with Kagiso Rabada and Namibias Bredell Wessels.In 2012, Kuldeeps first IPL experience was little more than a brief flirtation with Mumbai Indians. A more purposeful, career-defining relationship was forged with Kolkata Knight Riders, who signed him up two years later. While he didnt get a game in the 2014 IPL season, Kuldeep finished as Knight Riders second-highest wicket-taker in the Champions League T20 later that year, as the team finished runners-up. A little over a fortnight later he made his first-class debut.Kuldeep remembers making an impression on his first day at the Knight Riders camp by dismissing Gautam Gambhir in the nets. He is grateful to Gambhir for playing him in the first XI despite the presence of senior spinners such as Sunil Narine, Brad Hogg, Shakib Al Hasan and Piyush Chawla. More reassuring was how Gambhir never fretted over Kuldeep going for runs.He would just say, it doesnt matter, he scored off a good ball, Kuldeep says. When I was playing CLT20, Shoaib Malik took 18 [21] runs off me in an over. So, I went up to Gauti bhai and said I wanted to bowl from the other side because the end I was bowling from had shorter boundaries. Gauti bhai insisted I bowl from the same end. I thought to myself, yaar, yeh kya kar diya (what has he done).The game hes referring to is the semifinal against Hobart Hurricanes. It proved an important, even if chastening, lesson on second-guessing the batsmans motives. Kuldeep had started well, conceding only 10 runs in three overs and taking the wicket of Ben Dunk. The first ball of his fourth over to Malik was a dot. Then Malik smashed him for two sixes and two fours. [Malik] told me after the match I was bowling very well, and that he was reading my mind during my first three overs, Kuldeep says. He knew exactly when I would flight the ball or push it faster. When you come up against a big player, he is always one step ahead of you.A key figure in Kuldeeps development has been fellow left-arm wristspinner Hogg. Apart from teaching him how to bowl the flipper - Kuldeep admits he needs to become stronger to bowl it as well as his senior partner - Hogg has hand-held Kuldeep through match situations. During a match against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2016 IPL season, Kuldeep, after a tight over, was anxious to attack in the quest for wickets.With Sunrisers chasing 172, Hogg knew the batsmen themselves would be under pressure to go after the bowling, and advised Kuldeep just to keep things tight. Kuldeep duly dismissed Shikhar Dhawan in his next over.Hogg has also endeared himself to Kuldeep by being a sounding board. He has asked me to Skype him if there is any problem I want to discuss with him, Kuldeep says. Thats a big deal for a youngster when someone you look up to takes a keen interest in you.Kuldeep went through a traumatic period during the Ranji Trophy last year. While his numbers - 13 wickets from five games for Uttar Pradesh at an average of nearly 47 - were middling at best, he believes he could have done with a few more opportunities. I was struggling so much to play for my state, but I dont know why I wasnt being picked, he says. I had come back after having picked wickets playing for India A, but I would be dropped here. I felt like I was being ignored.One of the reasons he doesnt find a regular place in the UP team is the presence of Piyush Chawla as the lead spinner, especially on pitches that dont require more than one spinner. Its also possible his success in the shorter formats has led to him being typecast as a limited-overs bowler. Kuldeep, however, insists he is a classical spinner whose heart lies in the longer format.If you are a spinner, you should turn and flight the ball. I cant fire it in fast; that is beyond me, he says. I love Test cricket the best. I get a lot of enjoyment playing four-day cricket, and my bowling style suits four-day cricket because I flight the ball.Help, though, was forthcoming from two senior members of the side - Chawla and Suresh Raina. PC bhai supported me a lot, and asked me to keep working hard, he says. Raina bhai is very caring. He always calls and keeps tabs on what is happening with me. I worked very hard on my bowling during that phase. Such phases are part and parcel of life - sometimes you do well and sometimes you dont.By the time the Duleep Trophy began - a day-night affair that trialled the pink ball for the first time in Indias first-class cricket - Kuldeep was more at peace with himself and finished as the leading wicket-taker with 17 wickets in three matches. With Indias head coach Anil Kumble and then selectors Vikram Rathore and Saba Karim in attendance, Kuldeep picked up four wickets in the final. Yuvraj Singh, his captain at India Red, called him jaadugar (magician).Kuldeeps performances in the tournament didnt earn him a place in either the Test or the ODI sides against New Zealand, but they didnt go unnoticed, as he was invited to train with the Indian team. Only once before had he been part of the senior squad when he was picked for the ODI series against West Indies in 2014.When you are with the team and training with them, you feel that you are a part of the team, he says. I had some good conversations with Anil bhai this time. He spoke to me about how I should bowl when the body starts tiring and what I should do while bowling long spells. He would stand next to me while I was bowling and took very good care of me.The more I am used to bowling to batsmen like Virat [Kohli] bhai or Jinks [Ajinkya Rahane] bhai and Puji [Cheteshwar Pujara] bhai, its easier to understand where I stand and how I can improve when I go back to Ranji Trophy. They tell me whats the right pace to bowl and what variations I could bowl.Kuldeep didnt have to wait too long to put some of that wisdom into practice, as he was picked for UPs season-opener against Madhya Pradesh. But he would know from experience that getting there is only half the job done. Custom AC Milan Jersey . -- Its been a long road back for Sean Bergenheim.

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. LONDON -- Carl Froch won a unanimous decision over Mikkel Kessler in a super middleweight title unification bout on Saturday night, avenging his first career defeat and adding the WBA championship to his IBF belt. Fighting in front of a partisan crowd at the sold-out O2 Arena, Froch (47-2, 35 KOs) started quickly and survived several spots of trouble to hold off Kessler (30-3), who beat the Englishman in a thrilling decision in April 2010. The rematch also was highly entertaining, with Froch appearing to hurt Kessler with a series of right hands in the eighth round. The Danish fighter stormed back in the 11th round with several rocking shots, but Froch replied with a punishing 12th-round performance, getting close to stopping Kessler. "Youve got to have a game plan, but I didnt get hit with too many shots in there," Froch said. "Kessler got hit with too many himself, and that was the big difference." All three judges favoured the 35-year-old Froch, scoring it 115-113, 116-112 and 118-110. "(Kessler) is a good counterpuncher," Froch said. "The main difference was, in the first fight, I was backing up. I was letting him dictate the pace. I was letting him push me back. "I was meeting him as he came (in the rematch), and I was being aggressive with the jab. I was looking him in tthe eye, and letting him know. Giacomo Bonaventura Jersey. When he was going to come forward, I was going to meet him with punches. I was discouraging him and putting him on his back foot." The 34-year-old Kessler had won four straight fights, including his victory over Froch for the WBC 168-pound belt. He has won just once outside Denmark since June 2005, going 1-3. Kessler landed more than 55 per cent of his punches, beating Froch in accuracy, but never mounted consistent momentum outside a few middle rounds. Froch dictated the pace until Kessler went for a knockout in the 11th round, but Froch responded with a dominant final round. Froch and Kessler are among the top contenders in a division widely thought to be ruled by Andre Ward, the unbeaten U.S. Olympic champion who beat both men during the Super Six tournament a few years ago. Ward attended Saturdays fight as a commentator for American television and said he would be open to a rematch with Froch. "I actually watched (video of) Andre Ward against Kessler, dare I say, yesterday and today," Froch said. "Stepping in and closing the range once he threw the jab. ... I have been working on a long jab." Froch has won three straight bouts since losing to Ward in December 2011, also beating Lucian Bute and Yusaf Mack in his native Nottingham.
