Remember when Team Great Britains Steph Houghton scored a goal to beat Brazil 1-0 at Wembley Stadium during the 2012 Olympics, in front of the largest crowd for a womens international match in Britain? Or when England battled its way to a bronze medal in the 2015 Womens World Cup? Are you looking forward to seeing the best of British womens soccer in Rio this summer?Well, youll be disappointed. Doug Martin Authentic Jersey . Because the 2012 Team GB was a one-off.In fact, none of the soccer teams from the four countries in the U.K. -- England, Scotland and Wales (which make up Great Britain), and Northern Ireland -- will be competing at the Games this summer. And the reason is more complicated than just qualifying or not qualifying.Previously, Team GB soccer was composed of athletes from the U.K. (the so-called home nations), all of which have their own football associations (FA). Each association has its own voting rights at the international level, a degree of independence thats closely guarded by all of the associations. They fear losing their seats at the top tables if they joined forces for any competition -- that if they compete as Team GB once, they will be made to compete as Team GB in every single tournament.For the London Olympic Games in 2012, the associations reached a compromise. As the Games host nation, the U.K. was eligible to enter a soccer team by right, instead of by qualification. The English Football Association allowed a womens soccer team to compete under the GB banner and put the then-England manager Hope Powell in charge. Officially, players from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland were also eligible for selection to this super team.In practice, it was a touch more complicated. Powell called up a squad that was almost entirely English -- players with whom she was already familiar. She added into the mix Ifeoma Dieke, a Scotland defender, and Kim Little, a then-22-year-old Scottish player who had been lighting up the Arsenal midfield.In a phone interview, Little said she knew that people within the Scottish FA were not happy about their players joining the Team GB squad. Still, she said she never considered turning down the call-up from Powell, adding that playing in the Olympic Games would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.In the 2012 Olympics, the team made it out of group play before losing 0-2 in the quarterfinals. Afterward, Powell talked about how she wanted the team to continue, and a few months later, the English FA announced that it would be very happy to carry on coordinating a Team GB for future Games.Their counterparts in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland were not so keen, and FIFA declared that all four nations would have to agree to allow the Team GB experiment to continue.They didnt.So despite the fact that England technically qualified for the 2016 Olympics after its third-place finish at the Womens World Cup, there will be no British representation on the Brazilian pitches in Rio. (The English wanted to compete as Team GB, but without the aforementioned agreement by the three other nations, FIFA said no.)It is disappointing, but I think we knew that four years ago was going to be a one-off, Rachel Yankey, the Arsenal, England and 2012 Team GB winger, said in a phone interview. She said the squad then had secretly hoped that it could sway the intransigent governing bodies by impressing them with their performances, and they felt extremely sad that they had not managed that.We had the opportunity four years ago. We went out there, we played well, we proved to a lot of people that we deserved to be on that stage and possibly should have done better, but this ones out of our control, she said. We cant be disappointed that were not there, because theres not a lot, as players, that we can do about that.Gemma Fay, the Scotland captain who has led her country to the brink of Euro 2017 qualification, said shes in favor of a Team GB soccer roster, but not at the cost of losing each home nations unique identity.I think first and foremost everybody wants to represent their home nation -- in the U.K., thats Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England, she said in a phone interview. With Team GB, it was quite a unique thing, once in a lifetime. I understand why it was in the last Olympics, we accepted a home place. I can understand also not to put it in [Rio].For other sports, Team GB operates in different ways. Some sports are governed by a British association, so for Olympic competitions such as swimming, gymnastics, golf, etc., there will be a Team GB participating in Rio. And in rugby sevens, for example, if one of the home nations qualifies for the Olympics, that team represents Team GB and has the opportunity to call up other eligible players.Fay said that model could cause problems within home camps.If Im an England player, and I was in that squad who qualified for a place in that GB team, and then all of a sudden Im potentially not in that squad because a player from another nation comes in that wasnt there, that didnt secure that place, does that create an atmosphere, does that create an issue? Fay said. Is it fair to let an England team qualify, but then not let that entire England team represent at a Team GB level?Ciara Sherwood, whos from Northern Ireland but plays club for the Crystal Palace Ladies in England, said having a Team GB womens soccer squad would improve domestic soccer immeasurably, giving players the chance to work with different coaches and train with full-time schedules.It would help to continue to raise the image of the game, she said. It wouldve helped to create role models and idols, but also helped to develop our game -- all competitive games and tournaments result in either winning games or learning on how to improve, what to do next, what couldve been done better.Fay says she agrees that the sport would benefit, but she says its up to the football associations to come up with a plan, leaving the players to choose whether they want to represent Great Britain and Northern Ireland.From a completely objective perspective, I think that any sport that goes into the Olympics raises the profile of that sport and that country -- thats proven, she says. [At the] home Games, there was the feel-good factor around sport in general, and womens football absolutely took advantage of that, and rightly so.But when the U.S. womens national team aims to defend its gold medal in Rio, the British stars will be watching it all on television.If [Team GB] was to happen, if there was a Scottish player who had the opportunity, I think they should take it, same as Welsh, same as English, Fay said. Its an individual opportunity that the individual has earned, and I think they have the right to choose to represent the U.K. if they wish. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jerseys .

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Cleveland Indians and Minnesota Twins open the second half of the Major League Baseball season with a three-game series beginning Friday night at Target Field. Vic Beasley Super Bowl Jersey .Despite a 4-6 finish to the first half, the Indians will begin play 6 1/2 games clear of the Detroit Tigers for first place in the American League Central and seven games ahead of the Chicago White Sox and defending World Series champion Kansas City Royals.Its the first time since Terry Francona took over as manager of the Indians in 2013 that the club begins the second half atop the division standings.I dont want to get too carried away because were still playing, and nobody has a crystal ball, Francona told MLB.com. But weve played ourself into a position where every single game we play from now on is fun as (heck). And I dont doubt our guys will embrace it and see how good we can be. Thats the whole idea.The Indians have done their damage with a balanced attack, including All-Star pitchers Corey Kluber and Danny Salazar as well as sterling defense and a lineup capable of piling up runs in a hurry.Shortstop Francisco Lindor, another All-Star, has been a linchpin for the Tribe all season both in the field, where he is a strong Gold Glove contender, and at the top of lineup.Theyve done it with outfielder Michael Brantley on the shelf with an injured shoulder for all but 11 games this season. But he is on a rehab assignment and could be just a week or two from rejoining the club.Carlos Carrasco, who missed a sizable chunk of the first half with a hamstring injury, will start against Minnesota in Fridays opener.The right-hander has allowed two earned runs or fewer in each of his last six starts but has a record of just 3-2 during that stretch. He allowed five runs against the New York Yankees in his final turn before the break, but four of the runs were unearned.Carrasco hasnt pitched against the Twins this season but struggled against them a year ago, going 0-2 with a 6.30 ERA in two starts against Minnesota in 2015.Minnesota is the only team in the AL Central not within striking distance of the Indians, sitting 20 games out of first place. But the Twins were the best team in the division in the final two weeks of the first half, led by a suddenly surging offense.Only the Chicago Cubs have equaled the Twins in the power department since June 26; both clubs have slugged 28 homers to lead the major leagues.Minnesotas 140 runs since June 18 are eight more than the next closest club and the most in baseball since that stretch.The Twins finished the first half by winning seven of their final nine games before the break, including five of seven over the AL-leading Texas Rangers during that stretch. Minnesota won three of four in Arlington in its final weekend before the break, outscoring the Rangers 38-18 in the series.Id think were on the high end here (offensively) the last two or three weeks, and its been balanced, Twins manager Paul Molitor told MLB.com. (Brian) Dozier has been hot, Kurt (Suzuki) has been on an incredible run.The young guys have injected some life and are taking advantage of some opportunities. (Max) Keplers development and RBI-to-games-played ratio is pretty impressive. You can just go on about the guys who are swinging the bat well.Minnesotas starting staff has also been better of late, led by right-hander Ervin Santana, who will get the ball against the Indians on Friday.Santana, who has been the subject of trade rumors recently, is 2-0 with a 1.63 ERA in his last four starts, capped by a brilliant two-hit shutout of the Oakland Athletics his last time out on July 6.Santana beat Cleveland in his only start against the Indians, limiting the Tribe to one run, five hits and a walk in six innings on May 14 at Progressive Field.

SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. RALEIGH, N.C. -- Carolina Hurricanes forward Bryan Bickell has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.General manager Ron Francis announced the diagnosis Friday.Bickell said in a statement issued by the team that during the past few weeks, it felt like something wasnt right, and that hes been struggling to understand what was going on with my body since the 2015 playoffs with Chicago.Francis says the 30-year-old player will take some time to rest from the disease that attacks the nervous system. Bickell says he hopes to keep playing.Carolina acquired Bickell in a trade with the Blackhawks during the summer.Hes a special guy. Were thinking about him, and our thoughts and prayers are with him, Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. Its tough to hear something like that. He has a tough road ahead. He wass special for us, and instrumental in us having a lot of success here. Steve Bartkowski Falcons Jersey. We wish him well.The three-time Stanley Cup winner with Chicago has one goal in seven games with the Hurricanes, but hasnt played since Oct. 30. He was scratched from a loss to Anaheim on Thursday night with what the team described as an illness.Its pretty shocking. What can you say? Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews said after Friday nights 3-2 loss to Washington. I think everyone in this room, in this organization, as close as we all are to Bicks, our hearts go out to him. We wish him the best health possible. Hopefully he can hang in there and find ways to stay strong despite his condition.

Cronulla are expecting a battle-hardened North Queensland in Fridays preliminary final, rather than a fatigued Cowboys side ripe for the picking. Karlos Dansby Jersey .The Sharks have this week been keen to point out how fresh they are leading into the Allianz Stadium match after earning a week off courtesy of their qualifying final win over Canberra two weeks ago.The Cowboys have again taken the long road through the playoffs after a first week loss to Melbourne.But that extra week last year didnt affect the premiers when they claimed their maiden title in a golden point win over Brisbane in the grand final.The Cowboys come into the preliminary final on the back of another extra time win over the Broncos.And Sharks coach Shane Flanagan is of wary of the hard edge the Cowboys have gained.They are a hardened footy team, they will have been timing their run to the semi-finals, Flanagan said on Thursday.Last year they showed what they could, do, they lost their first final and then had two wins and went into extra time in the grand final.Last week was very similar going into extra time. It is a battle-hardened semi-final football team you will see tomorrow night.Flangan said it was up to the Sharks to put the Cowboys under pressure early in the game to ensure they were tiring at the back end.We need to put the Cowboys under pressure, starve them of possession and control where we give them the football, Flanagan said.We need to do all those types of things for the Cowboys to feel fatigued at the back end of the game.We need to make sure we put them under pressure for the first 70 minutes of the game.Rugby league players find energy off the back of possession and we have to make sure we dont give them that.

Getting set to go their separate ways for a short Christmas break, the Raptors coach credited his team for their effort on a seemingly impossible three-game road trip, urging them to build on that success when they get back to work at the end of the week. http://www.nflbengalsgearofficial.com/tyler-eifert-jersey/ . By having more great seasons. Manning was the only unanimous choice for the 2013 Associated Press NFL All-Pro team Friday. EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants won two Super Bowls under Tom Coughlin by being able to pressure the opposing quarterback and getting just enough big plays from Eli Manning and the offense to pull out a lot of close games.In coach Ben McAdoos first season since taking over for Coughlin, the Giants (9-4) are using the same formula in a bid to end a four-year playoff drought.Its a formula that also has put the only two blemishes on the Dallas Cowboys record (11-2) this season.The Giants defense befuddled rookie quarterback Dak Prescott on a cold, damp night, and Manning overcame a miserable performance to hook up with Odell Beckham Jr. on a go-ahead, 61-yard catch-and-run late in the third quarter as New York ended the Cowboys 11-game winning streak with a 10-7 victory Sunday .I think that everything is in front of us, Giants linebacker Jonathan Casillas said. I think that we can be as good as we want to be. As long as we keep our head down and keep grinding away -- it is still a long season. We have some games left and I am planning on playing in January. That is the goal right now, to get through December and play in January.If the defense plays the way it did against Dallas, the Giants are going back to the playoffs for the first time since winning the Super Bowl in February 2012 against the Patriots.Steve Spagnuolos unit limited Dallas to a season-low 260 yards , held the Cowboys to 1 of 15 on third down and didnt allow Ezekiel Elliott to bust a big run despite gaining 107 yards rushing.New York cornerback Janoris Jenkins blanketed star receiver Dez Bryant for the second straight game, limiting him to one catch late and forcing a fumble on the same play. Bryant had two catches in two games against the Giants this season as the Cowboys scored a total of 26 points. They were scoring almost 28 per game this season entering Sunday night.While saying they didnt execute well, veteran Cowboys tight end Jason Witten gave credit to the Giants in a game they played without star defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul. He is out for the rest of the regular season because of a sports hernia.They were pressuring us, Witten said. They were bringing some heat and we werent able to capitalize on it. I tell you what, our defense kept us in the game. I thought they did a heck of a job. Giving us a chance, we didnt play good enoough. Geno Atkins Bengals Jersey. Beckham, who turned a short slant into a touchdown with an incredible burst of speed, felt the same way about the Giants offense.To me personally when you are not on the field and seeing what that defense does, that makes all the difference in the world, he said. The quote Ive heard for a long time is offense wins games, defense wins championships, and this is a championship defense.Here are five takeaways from the game:THE ROAD AHEAD: With three games left in the regular season, the Cowboys magic number for winning the NFC East is two. Any combination of wins by the Cowboys and losses by the Giants totaling two gives Dallas the division title. New York still has the best record among second-place teams in the NFC wild-card race. Dallas is home next weekend against Tampa Bay (8-5). The Giants host Detroit (9-4).REPLACING JPP: Rookie free agent Romeo Okwara started for Pierre-Paul at left end and led the Giants with eight tackles and one of their three sacks. It was his first career sack. Linebacker Devon Kennard also filled in at defensive end and tackle in passing situations. He had six tackles and a sack.DAK NOT A COLD-WEATHER GUY: Prescott didnt seem to like the cold and it didnt help that the ball was a little wet at times. He finished 17 of 37 for 165 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions. Knowing how talented our offense is, having high expectations of myself and stalling drive after drive, it gets frustrating, Prescott said.NO ROMO: Prescotts struggles against the fierce Giants pass rush and sticky secondary didnt have Dallas thinking about whether longtime starter Tony Romo should take over at quarterback.Finally recovered from his back issues, Romo is the clear backup these days to the superb rookie. But Prescott wasnt superb against New York.So, naturally, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was asked about Romo. He smiled and, with emphasis, said no when the subject of Romo seeing action came up.Cowboys coach Jason Garrett was asked if at any point he considered turning to Romo. Again, an emphatic no.We just feel good about Dak Prescott playing quarterback for us right now, Garrett said.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and -http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '

AUSTIN, Texas -- Nico Rosberg sat slumped in his chair, exhausted and exasperated after another race and world title was taken away by Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton. Then came the hat toss seen around the world.These friends-turned rivals return to Texas and the U.S. Grand Prix in very different places this week. This time, its Rosberg with the big lead and Hamilton running out of time if he hopes to retain his Formula One championship.Rosberg leads Hamilton by 33 points with four races left on the schedule. That means Hamilton has to make a big push starting Sunday on a track where hes won three of the last four years.America has been good hunting ground for me, Hamilton said.A win streak alone wont do it. Hamilton needs a bad race from Rosberg somewhere. If Rosberg finishes second three times and finishes third once, hell still claim his first career championship. A Rosberg victory anywhere along the way would all but clinch it.My frame of mind at the moment is to have fun, Hamilton said. Im determined to win. Theres never a day in my life when I dont want to win. I could come here like Ive got to win every race, but Ive been racing a long time. I know what Im doing so just go do it the best I can and enjoy.Is that concession?Absolutely not, Hamilton said. Theres still 100 points out there. Its possible.Four-time F1 champion Sebastian Vettel, who won a couple of close title chases, agreed.Hes quick enough, Vettel said. Im sure hell go for it. Its only over when its over.Rosberg may dictate when the end comes. Hes been a different driver since his moment of post-race infamy in 2015.After Hamilton clinched last seasons title in Austin, he playfully tossed Rosberg his podium cap in the drivers cool-down room. Rosberg immediately threw it back at him in a petulant moment captured on live television.The split-second reaction symbolized the meltdown of Rosbergs title efforts and the relationship between two driverss who became friends when they were coming up through the junior circuits. Dick Butkus Jersey. Last year this race obviously didnt work out so great for me, so Im looking forward to getting back out there and doing my best to get it right this time, Rosberg said.Rosberg emerged from his Austin disaster with steely determination. He won the final three races of 2015 and the first four of 2016. A mid-season slump allowed Hamilton to charge back from a 43-point deficit, but Rosberg has been coolly efficient of late with a run of four wins in the last five races.Rosberg refused to be pulled into thinking about the pressure facing both drivers or whether hes walking a tightrope of emotion with a title so close within reach. His father, Keke Rosberg, won the championship in 1982.I dont know how much pressure Lewis is putting on himself ... Im going to focus on this weekend, Rosberg said.Rosberg also said he wont settle for the safety of second place on Sunday.I will try to push for the win, 100 percent, he said. With the car I have, I can win on any track against Lewis.Hamiltons title hopes took a huge dent two races ago in Malaysia when he was leading late but was forced to retire with an engine problem. Hamilton looked dejected when he got out of the car day and said it felt like something or someone was working against him.A higher power, he later said. It feels right now that the man above or any higher power is intervening a little bit.Like the previous two seasons, Mercedes has dominated the field with 15 wins in 17 races. No other driver has factored into the title chase.If he loses the title, Hamilton said hell try to take it like a man because you cant win them all.Look at all the champions in the past who have who have won championships and lost championships, he said. It is part of the game.

ST. Tedy Bruschi Youth Jersey . LOUIS -- Former Cy Young award winner Chris Carpenter took another step toward possibly returning to the mound by tossing a pain-free bullpen session prior to Friday nights game with the Colorado Rockies. The 38-year-olds career appeared as if it may be over when it was announced in February that he was unlikely to pitch in 2013 as he was still suffering from chronic pain in his neck, shoulder and arm. Those same symptoms shelved Carpenter for 150 games last season, though he returned late and pitched in the post-season. But when his arm felt pain free this spring after playing catch with his 10-year-old son Sam, Carpenter notified Cardinals General Manager John Mozeliak and was given the go ahead to try again. Fridays bullpen session was the fourth for the 38-year-old Carpenter, who tossed about 70 pitches, including a wide variety of breaking balls. "My arm has come back and I feel strong," Carpenter said. "Im not trying to be a hero or do anything crazy. I just want to go out and see if I can pitch." Manager Mike Matheny and pitching coach Derek Lilliquist watched Carpenters session. Matheny said he was impressed. "Im excited for him," Matheny said. "We didnt know exactly what we were dealing with at this time in his career. But fortunately, he made a (good) turn and he feels better. He looks good." Carpenter is 144-94 for his career, which has been beset by injuries that have cost him the better part of five seasons. He knows not to get too excited about a bullpen session. "Im not going to have super-high expectations," Carpenter said. "But as long as it continues to go well, Im going to go out there and take that next step." Tedy Bruschi Jersey .

MONTREAL -- It took two broken sticks and a bad deflection for the Florida Panthers to beat Montreal and goalie Carey Price on Tuesday night.Aaron Ekblad snapped his stick on an awkward slap shot that sneaked by Price in overtime, helping Florida beat the NHL-leading Canadiens 4-3.Price sought his 11th straight win, which would have matched George Hainsworths 1927 record for a single-season winning streak by a Habs goaltender.Instead, some bad luck in overtime handed Montreal its first home loss of the season after starting the year 10-0-0 at the Bell Centre.First, Alex Galchenyuk cracked his stick and had to sprint to the bench for a replacement.While he did, Ekblad wound for a shot from the right hash marks, but his stick splintered on the attempt and the puck trickled toward the net. It deflected off the boot of defenseman Nathan Beaulieu before sliding past Price 2:59 into OT.What can you do? Beaulieu said. It was a lucky one. The hockey gods didnt want us to win tonight.Alex Petrovic, Kyle Rau and Denis Malgin scored for the Panthers, and Roberto Luongo made 34 saves.It was a funny night, Panthers coach Gerard Gallant said. There were some funny goals. We just talk about putting pucks to the net and getting people going there. Sometimes you get the lucky breaks and the lucky bounces. To get four by Carey is not easy to do.Max Pacioretty, David Desharnais and Paul Byron had goals for Montreal, which is in its first two-game winless streak this season. Price made 20 saves in his first loss of the season.The loss was Montreals first when scoring the first goal of the game (12-0-1).Price allowed more than two goals in a game for just the second time this season.Montreal trailed 3-2 entering the third period, but Byron got his team-leading sixth goal 5:46 in.

Matheson fed Rau in the slot with a no-look, between-the-legs pass, and Rau finished to make it 2-1 with 4:38 left in the first.I felt three or four guys around me, so I thought someone has to be open, Matheson said. I knew we were changing, so I just tried to apply some pressure. I ended up keeping the puck down low for a little bit. I was just trying to buy some time.Desharnais recorded an assist on Paciorettys goal for his first point in 12 games.

PITTSBURGH -- Steelers players say Pro Bowl wide receiver?Antonio Brown should be able to twerk and thrust as he chooses, without fine or penalty. Mark Ingram Jersey .Brown received his second unsportsmanlike conduct flag of the season for his two-pump twerking dance in the end zone during Sundays 43-14 win over the Chiefs.Thats what happens when you give someone (commissioner Roger Goodell) total power, said guard Ramon Foster, the teams player union rep. There are other guys who have done worse. ABs just having fun. Dont make it the No Fun League.Brown was fined $12,154 in Week 1 for a similar touchdown celebration (three pumps that time), and a second offense equals a $24,309 fine.According to the NFL rulebook, officials can police actions that are sexually suggestive or can otherwise be construed as being in poor taste.Browns dancing replicates a sketch from the television comedy Key & Peele called McCringleberrys excessive celebration.Steelers linebacker Arthur Moats said the NFLs rule is vague, citing yoga as something that could be perceived as suggestive but is really a nice artform of stretching. Moats then joked Brown was just stretching in front of 70,000 people.Since Antonio is a trailblazer with his celebrations this year, were still in a gray area, Moats said. At first it was [three] pumps, then we thought it was two, now were trying to figure it out. If he tries one and he gets flagged, then we know any pump is bad. Are shoulders OK? Because we have to figure it out. Its trial and error. We need to gather data.Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers agreed with the Steelers players, saying the NFL should embrace, not penalize, celebrations like the one Brown had.Thats the beauty of our game. We encourage our guys to be themselves, Rodgers said. You cant keep a guy like Mike Daniels quiet. You love that passion out there on the field. We talked about it a couple of games ago, Hey, express yourself. We need more of Jordy Nelson catching the ball and getting the fans involved. We all kind of ribbed him a little bit, but we loved that. We loved the energy and the emotion and the passion out there.You just cant let it affect your team in a negative way. They are doing some interesting penalties. I saw Antonio Brown got flagged a couple times for doing a Key and Peele dance. I think the NFL used that maybe on their Twitter site as promoting the excitement and fun of the game. So, I dont know where the line of that is. Theres jokes at times about the No Fun League. I hope we can keep the excitement and celebrations in the game and not try to restrict them like the NCAA does.During his Tuesday news conference, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said the Steelers would like clarity on what Brown can and cant do in the end zone. The league is releasing an explanatory video to teams in light of the rise in unsportsmanlike penalties, which are up 56 percent this season, according to ESPNs Stats & Information research.The way Foster sees it, Browns pockets are the only thing affected negatively by the dancing.The crowd enjoys it. Ive seen social media go crazy over it, Foster said. If anything, its business for the league.Information from ESPNs Jason Wilde and Rob Demovsky was used in this report. Bobby Hebert Saints Jersey .

JOHNS, N. MINNEAPOLIS -- The entire Minnesota football team said Thursday that it is boycotting all football activities, which could include its bowl game, until it gets satisfactory answers from the university about the suspension of 10 players.The school suspended the players Tuesday after an internal investigation into a sexual assault case. Police declined to arrest or charge any of the players, but the school suspended them based on its own standards for conduct.The teams players said they havent ruled out skipping the Holiday Bowl on Dec. 27 against Washington State in San Diego. They asked the bowls committee to be patient while they work through the situation.The boycott will remain in effect until due process is followed and the suspensions for all 10 players are lifted, senior receiver Drew Wolitarsky said, reading from a prepared statement while flanked by all of his teammates. We further request that (President Eric) Kaler and (athletic director Mark) Coyle (apologize) and demand that these leaders are held accountable for their actions. This decision for the players to take this stance is not easy, but important to preserve the integrity of the program and ourselves.The university announced the suspensions Tuesday night without disclosing why. The incident at an off-campus apartment in September led to three-game suspensions of four of the players earlier this season. Another six were added to that list this week after the internal investigation for reasons that remain unclear.A joint statement issued by Kaler and Coyle on Thursday night said the schools decision was based on facts and is reflective of the universitys values.We understand that a lot of confusion and frustration exists as a result of this weeks suspension of ten Gopher football players from all team activities, the statement read. The reality is that not everyone can have all of the facts, and unfortunately the university cannot share more information due to federal laws regarding student privacy.Kaler and Coyle said they want to continue an open dialogue with our players.Ray Buford Sr., the father of defensive back Ray Buford Jr., said the new suspensions resulted from an investigation by the universitys Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action that was separate from earlier investigations into the alleged assault in the early hours of Sept. 3.Buford Jr., KiAnte Hardin, Dior Johnson and Tamarion Johnson were suspended for three games when their names came up in the police investigation. The players were not arrested, prosecutors decided not to press charges and the players returned to the team. The restraining order was lifted after a settlement on Nov. 2.The other six players are defensive backs Antonio Shenault and Antoine Winfield Jr., running backs Carlton Djam and Kobe McCrary, and quarterbacks Seth Green and Mark Williams. Hardin and Winfield are starters and Buford and Shenault are key reserves.The school has recommended expulsion for Buford, Hardin, Dior Johnson, Tamarion Johnson and Djam and one-year suspensions for the other five players.According to police records released Wednesday, the woman told police she was drunk when she was sexually assaulted in Djams apartment by several men, including some of the suspended players. She said her sexual contact with two men may have been consensual, but herr contact with four of them was not. Bobby Hebert Womens Jersey. Several players told police it was consensual.The players boycotted practice Thursday, one day after meeting with Coyle. Then they all lined up in the teams indoor practice facility, wearing their maroon jerseys with gold numbers and vowing to stay united.When we had questions for him, he basically told us that he didnt have answers, Wolitarsky said. So that led us basically to believe that this is kind of unjust and he has the power to reverse this and he wont.In recent seasons, big-time college football teams have been much more aggressive about exercising their collective right to protest by threatening not to play when they are dissatisfied with issues they confront on campus.Just last season, more than 30 members of the Missouri football joined campus protests and threatened to boycott team activities unless school president Tim Wolfe resigned after his handling of several racially charged incidents on campus. The coaching staff and entire team threw support behind the boycott -- which could have threatened a game against BYU -- but the Tigers ended up never even missing a practice when Wolfe stepped down two days later.When asked if the Golden Gophers would boycott their bowl game, Wolitarsky said they would take it day by day.The thing of it is, all these kids reputations are destroyed, quarterback Mitch Leidner said. Their names are destroyed. Its extremely difficult to get back and its very unfair for them and thats why were sticking together through this thing.There has been some confusion about whether Gophers coach Tracy Claeys backed the decision to suspend the players or not. Coyle and Kaler said he was consulted, but the players said Thursday night they did not believe their coach had a say in the matter.Have never been more proud of our kids, Claeys tweeted. I respect their rights (and) support their effort to make a better world!Former Minnesota Vikings star cornerback Antoine Winfield Sr. said his son did nothing wrong and blistered university leadership for what he said was a lack of communication.If the president and athletic director keep their jobs, my son, Antoine Winfield Jr., will not attend the University of Minnesota, Winfield Sr. said.When asked if he was concerned about the threat of the university pulling their scholarships in reaction to this show of force, Wolitarsky struck a defiant tone.Were in this together, he said. What, are they going to pull 120 guys off the team? I mean, theyre not going to have a team if thats the case.Holiday Bowl executive director Mark Neville said they were monitoring it closely. A request for comment from the Big Ten was not immediately returned.Washington State sold out its 7,000-ticket allotment in less than two days and has already requested more.Getting a team to fill the bowl spot on short notice would be difficult, if not impossible. But the next team in line to receive a bid is Northern Illinois, which finished 5-7 but has the highest Academic Progress Rate among teams with that record.---AP College Football Writer Ralph D.

Five months after being hauled off after just 31 minutes on his second Test appearance, Teimana Harrison has been charged with the essential role of being Englands blockade against Fiji on Saturday. Philip Rivers Youth Jersey .First-half tactical substitutions are a rare thing in Test rugby but Jones made two during their June series against Australia with Luther Burrell getting that treatment in the first match and Harrison in the third.I dont see it as a big deal, was Eddie Jones take when asked if the players were mentally scarred from the experience. It is a view said to be echoed by the team but only Harrison knows exactly how much it affected him ahead of his third start at openside for England against the Islanders at Twickenham.Dylan Hartley, England captain and was also in the same school as Harrison in Rotorua, knows the flanker well.He brought him to Northampton, chartered his meteoric rise from academy obscurity to his Test debut against Wales in May and would have kept a watchful eye on Harrison in the changing room after his substitution ignominy.Eddie said to him after the game in the changing room that it was a decision for the team, Hartley said of Harrison. Coaches make decisions on behalf of the team and that is what they thought we needed at the time.Tei is a young guy. He had a brilliant first season for Northampton. He has been told, like we all have, to improve in certain areas and he has gone and done that.Jones doesnt necessarily follow rugbys traditional narrative. On Friday he talked of how England have only had 31 great players in their history, as they were the group that won the World Cup -- a statement which swipes aside those who played before the quadrennial tournament started in 1987.And then there is Elliot Daly. Though he is usually found in the centres, Daly is on the wing on Saturday despite having started just five of his 92 Aviva Premiership games for Wasps on the flank.First-half substitutions are also a break from the norm and it was surprising that he singled out Harrisons showing in Northamptons heavy 41-7 Champions Cup loss at Castres back in October as the best performance he had seen from a No.7 in a Premiership team.It was this match along with Harrisons off-field work which has seen him given another chance to impress after his Northampton teammate Tom Wood performed well in the openside role last week.Hes physically better equipped. He has gone back and put on a couple of kilos, Jones said. Hes worked particularly on his tackled technique.He did a lot of good work with [England defence coach] Paul Gustard and with [coaching consultant and Melbourne Storm coach] Jason Ryles in Portugal.Jones recognises Harrisons rise has been rapid, but wants him to embrace the physical and mental challenges of Test rugby, starting with Saturdays task of stopping Fijis attacking threat.He needs to be a stopper, Jones said. He needs to stop the Fijians on the gainline. Thats what Haskells done so well for us and now hes in the three-piece suit and looking very good.We need another guy not in the three-piece suit to stop opposition on the gainline.Tom Wood did a great job for us last week; we are looking to see how we can increase the depth in that No.7 role.With James Haskell, Mike Williams, Sam Jones and Jack Clifford all injured and Wood hopeful of returning to the openside role for the Test against Argentina on Nov. 26, there is fierce competition for the No.7 shirt.Harrisons audition will be on Saturday and he is challenged by Jones to take his next step to greatnessWe want to produce great players, Jones said. Every player tomorrow has an opportunity to get on the path to being a great player. If Teimana does it his selection increases. Its it the same for every player. Kellen Winslow Jersey .

CHICAGO -- Ryan Sweeney credited his teammates with helping him have one of his best days at the ballpark. Puma Suede Creepers Nere . Sweeney had a career-high six RBIs, including a three-run homer, and the Chicago Cubs routed the Houston Astros 14-6 on Sunday. The centre fielder drove in runs in each of his first four at-bats, capping the stretch with his longball to right-centre. He also had two doubles and a run-scoring grounder in the second inning. "Anytime youre scoring 14 runs with 16 hits, its contagious," said Sweeney, who started in place of the injured David DeJesus. "Everybody hit the ball great today and it was fun to watch." Chicago first baseman Anthony Rizzo added a two-run home run and finished 3 for 3 with four runs scored and four RBIs. Chicago scored its most runs and had its most hits (16) this season. All nine starters reached base for the Cubs. "We have to give ourselves opportunities and eventually, somebody is going to come through," Rizzo said. "So we just have to keep giving ourselves opportunities." The Cubs outburst helped erase a pair of errors from shortstop Starlin Castro, who now leads the majors with 14 errors this season. Castro has also struggled at the plate, with just 13 hits in his last 98 at-bats. "The whole thing is not going real well right now so hopefully this day off can recharge him and get things going in Milwaukee," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said about Castro. Starting pitcher Jeff Samardzija (5-7) won his second straight, with five strikeouts and no walks. It was his first start without yielding a walk this season. "Anytime I dont walk somebody, usually the outcome is in the positive side of things," Samardzija said. "I attacked the zone, had a couple of three-ball counts, just wanted to stay there and not give any freebies up and just let our defence work." Houston pitcher Jordan Lyles (4-2) lost for the first time since May 12. "We got him to throw a lot of pitches and his velocity started going down," Sweeney said. "We made him throw more and get away from his strength (the fastball) and make him throw more off-speed pitches and we hit him." Houston first baseman Chris Carter finished with a career-high three doubles among his four hits. He drove in two runs and scored twice. "It was good to see him drive the ball the other way," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "Hes been doing that this last week or so and its coming together." Chicago pulled away in the fifth inning with consecutive hits by Alfonso Soriano, Rizzo and Sweeney. Each scored to give Chicago an 8-3 lead. Soriano hit his first triple of the season and Rizzo then hit a looping single to shallow centre field. Sweeneys double sent Houston centre fielder Justin Maxwell sprinting toward the warning track and the ball bounced off his glove. Rizzo beat the relay throw to home plate. Second baseman Darwin Barney added a two-out RBI single to score Sweeney. Jose Altuve tried sparking an Astros rally for the second straight day, this time leading off the fourth with a single. Jason Castro followed with a double and Altuve scored on J.D. Martinezs groundout. Carter had a run-scoring double to centre field and Castro scored on Starlin Castros first error, a wild throw on a routine grounder by Matt Dominguez. Chicago jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning. Samardzija started the inning with a single and the Cubs loaded the bases on an error by shortstop Marwin Gonzalez and a walk. Nate Schierholtz hit a two-run single to get the scoring started. Rizzo followed with a sacrifice fly to right field and Sweeney doubled in two more runs. NOTES: The Cubs are expected to make a roster move, possibly adding a position player, before Tuesdays game against the Brewers. The Cubs currently have 13 pitchers in the majors. . Sveum watched the Chicago Blackhawks victory over the Boston Bruins in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Saturday night. He said if he could live another life he would be a hockey player. "Its such a true sport," Sveum said. "You cant do anything but play hard the whole game. Its OK to be physical. Its OK to fight." .
