(STATS) -- Oh, did the list of unbeaten FCS teams lessen considerably after the two biggest games in the FCS on Saturday lived up to their billing. Cheap Panthers Jerseys .Top-ranked North Dakota State fell 19-17 on a last-second touchdown by No. 11 South Dakota State in the Missouri Valley Football Conference and No. 5 Chattanooga lost 22-14 at No. 8 The Citadel in the Southern Conference.The Citadel and No. 2 Sam Houston State, both 6-0, are the only FCS unbeatens. Harvard also suffered its first loss Saturday.South Dakota State (4-2, 3-0 MVFC) stunned the five-time reigning MVFC and FCS champion Bison (5-1, 2-1) on Taryn Christions 2-yard touchdown pass to Jake Wieneke on 4th-and-1 with one second remaining.The Jackrabbits, who won the Dakota Marker trophy and ended an eight-game losing streak against NDSU, scored the final 16 points after they trailed 17-3 in the third quarter at the Fargodome.Christion wore down the Bison with 444 yards of total offense. He completed 24 of 42 pass attempts for 303 yards and two touchdowns with one interception, and rushed for 141 yards on 20 carries.Tight end Dallas Goedert (11 receptions, 150 yards, one TD) and Wieneke (6-108-1) were Christions favorite targets as SDSU racked up 523 yards and held the ball for 32 minutes, 23 seconds.An opponent has held the ball longer than the Bison in only two of their last 37 games, both NDSU losses.We were probably on the field a little bit more than we wanted to be, NDSU coach Chris Klieman said. Sooner or later they are going to make enough plays, and lets credit Taryn Christion. He did a phenomenal job moving the chains with his feet.The Citadel knows quite a bit about controlling game clock. The Bulldogs, who are 4-0 in the SoCon, entered the matchup between last years co-champs ranked second in the FCS in time of possession. Against Chattanooga (6-1, 4-1), the Bulldogs held the ball for 39:26 with 77 rushes among their 81 plays.Quarterback Dominque Allen led the way with 31 carries for 135 yards and two touchdowns.The Citadel went ahead for good 17-14 when Cody Clark kicked a 37-yard field goal on the final play of the first half.Mocs quarterback Alejandro Bennifield was penalized for intentional grounding from his teams end zone on the final play of the third quarter, resulting in a safety and a 19-14 Bulldogs lead.Clark then kicked a 32-yard field goal with 24 seconds remaining in the game.They changed up their defense a little bit, and it gave us a little trouble up front and in the passing game, Bennifield said. We dropped a couple of balls, and I threw a couple of balls incomplete. With them running the ball, you dont get that many opportunities.---=STATS FCS TOP 25 SCHEDULE=Saturday, Oct. 15No. 2 Sam Houston State (6-0, 5-0 Southland) 48, Abilene Christian (0-7, 0-5) 21Jeremiah Briscoe was 31 of 39 for 404 yards and six touchdowns against two interceptions.

GLASGOW, Scotland -- Lionel Messi steered Barcelona to a 13th straight appearance in the Champions League knockout stage, scoring both goals in a 2-0 win at Celtic as the Spanish team secured top spot in Group C on Wednesday.Messi drove in a 24th-minute opener at Parkhead before converting a penalty in the 55th, putting him on nine goals already in four group games.Five of those have come against Celtic, following his hat trick in Barcelonas 7-0 win at Camp Nou in September.With Manchester City drawing at Borussia Moenchengladbach in the groups other game, Barcelona is four points clear of City and cannot be denied first place heading into the final round of matches in group play.Celtic will finish last in the group and is out of Europe altogether.The Scottish champions hopes of a third memorable win over Barca in 12 years -- after a UEFA Cup victory in 2004 and a Champions League triumph in 2012 -- looked thinn from the moment Messi scored his 91st goal in the competition, meeting a clipped pass from Neymar with a first-time shot inside the near post. Authentic Cam Newton Jerseys.

Subscribe today!Denver BroncosOverall: 19 Title track: 11 Ownership: 17 Coaching: 32 Players: 25 Fan relations: 54 Affordability: 84 Stadium experience: 59 Bang for the buck: 7 Change from last year: +1Youll have to excuse the Denver Broncos and their crowd for a little bit of the duh face with all of this. The team has sold every ticket since 1970, it has had more Super Bowl trips than losing seasons since Pat Bowlen became an owner in 1984. Last season was the franchises eighth trip to the Super Bowl overall, seventh in Bowlens time with the franchise and the Broncos won their third championship.Whats goodTwo Super Bowls (and one title) in three years goes a long way for a title track ranking -- up 18 spots to 11th this year. The team also ranks well in bang for the buck -- lots of wins and a reasonable ticket price will do that -- and in ownership (17th this year). With Bowlen having stepped away from the day-to-day operations of the team because of Alzheimers disease, the team is run by the Bowlen Family Trust, with president Joe Ellis and GM John Elway guiding the franchise. Bowlens influence remains, though: When I get to a point when decisions need to be made, I know we are all mindful of what Pat would want us to do and we operate with his belief that the Denver Broncos should strive to be the best at everything, Ellis said.Whats badThe only sore spot for Broncos fans comes from their ticket pricing, which while almost $40 cheaper on average than our highest team (the Giants) at $87.96, is still in the bottom 10 of NFL teams. And the cost to attend a game -- including a hat and concessions -- is in the bottom half. At least the fans are usually getting a win for their money, though -- the Broncos are 32-4 at home since 2012.Whats newThere were many who raised some eyebrows when, after four consecutive division titles, Elway and the Broncos parted ways with John Fox. And a few more were raised when Elway breezed past many candidates to hire his former roommate, Gary Kubiak, as the teams head coach. But the Broncos responded to Kubiaks way with a Super Bowl win last season, and the fans responded with a 25-point jump in coaching, the Broncos biggest jump this season. This team overcame injuries, won close games and closed the deal with a 24-10 win in Super Bowl 50, evidence that the Broncos were the most prepared team on the field. A 22-point jump in the players rank (to 25th overall) also helps explain how the Broncos have kept things humming along as they leave the Peyton Manning era (theyre the AFCs only team with a 4-0 start in 2016). It doesnt hurt that fans feel like they have the games best defensive player in Von Miller, who signed a six-year, $114.5 million contract in the offseason and has played up to every dollar in that deal.Next: Kansas City Chiefs?| Full rankings Jerseys China Sale .

AUBURN, Ala. -- Sean White gave Auburn fans something to cheer about when he trotted onto the field, then Josh Holsey helped make sure they had something even bigger to celebrate.The 11th-ranked Tigers survived a 23-16 scare Saturday against Vanderbilt that left them with a clear path to the Southeastern Conference championship game, as long as they keep winning.An injured White came off the bench to loud applause opening the second half with his team down 13-10 and quickly delivered a 21-yard touchdown pass to Darius Slayton.Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said White was banged up and didnt take a snap in practice leading up to the game.Sean threw some in warmups, moved around, and it was kind of one of those deals he thought he could go, Malzahn said. And at halftime we just made the move.Holsey sealed the win with a last-minute interception deep in Auburn territory.The Tigers (7-2, 5-1 Southeastern Conference, No. 9 CFP) sputtered after starting John Franklin III in place of White, who also led two field goal drives.The win, coupled with Mississippi States upset of No. 7 Texas A&M, means Auburn can win the SEC West outright with victories over Georgia and No. 1 Alabama. That game was airing on Auburns huge video board in the minutes after this one ended, setting off another celebration for fans after the Tigers sixth straight win.Vandy (4-5, 1-4) stayed alive into the final minute against the 26-point favorites thanks to Caleb Scotts 29-yard catch of a tipped ball on fourth and 18. The Commodores moved to Auburns 30 before Holseys interception put it away.I saw my guy go to the flats and I saw (quarterback Kyle Shurmur) pat the ball one too many times, and I just felt something was going to be behind me, said Holsey, whose pick set up the final touchdown against Mississippi. My instincts took me to the ball.The drive was set up when Daniel Carlsons attempt at his fourth field goal was blocked. Alabama native Zach Cunningham leapt over the line at the snap and knocked it down. Cunningham said he had figured out the snappers cadence and linebacker coach Chris Marve instructiions were jump over him, but you arent allowed to touch him or anyone else. Jerseys NFL Cheap. arlson set Auburns career mark for field goals with three in the game.White completed 10 of 13 passes for 106 yards and Kamryn Pettway topped 160 rushing yards for the fourth straight game. Pettway ran 25 times for 173 yards, but came up limping at the end of a 60-yard run to set up the decisive score after appearing on his way to the end zone. He was clutching his left leg on the ground.Malzahn said he pulled something obviously.Vandy coach Derek Mason said he didnt know Franklin would start.I thought our guys handled it and adapted because when he is in the game, it is more wildcat than anything else, Mason said.Shurmur completed 24 of 36 passes for 221 yards and a touchdown. He also had a 21-yarder on the final drive before the pick.We had a great opponent, and we were not going to cower in fear, Shurmur said. We were going to go right after them.THE TAKEAWAYAuburn: The Tigers showed they can survive a down-to-the-wire game and imperfect performance, but perhaps not an SEC game without White. They still looked vulnerable to the pass after Mississippis Chad Kelly had a school-record performance. Auburn was especially thin at linebacker with Deshaun Daviss first half ejection for targeting. Starter Tre Williams was out with an injury.Vanderbilt: The Commodores were one big play from winning a third straight game for the first time since 2013. They couldnt get the running game going; the SECs No. 2 rusher Ralph Webb gained 46 yards on 13 carries.POLL IMPLICATIONSAuburn didnt earn style points for the win, but still could move into the Top 10 and possibly move up a spot or two in the playoff rankings.UP NEXTVanderbilt visits Missouri in a potential battle for last in the SEC East.Auburn visits traditional rival Georgia likely needing a win to remain in SEC West contention.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 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 ' ' '

METAIRIE, La. chinajerseysnfl . -- New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram insisted he will play Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, even though he is in the concussion protocol and awaiting official clearance after being knocked out for an estimated three seconds during Thursday nights away game.Ingram practiced Wednesday and said he had not experienced any symptoms this week.Im fine. Im gonna be playing Sunday. I feel good, just have to be smart about it if anything comes about, if Im dealing with anything, said Ingram, who noted that he did everything in practice except for live contact.I felt good. I was running fast. I was making my cuts. I made some mistakes. So it was just another day. It was a regular day at the office, Ingram said. And Im feeling good and looking forward to playing on Sunday.Ingram said this is his first concussion. And he said he appreciates the NFLs concussion protocols -- even though he admitted to being unhappy about them in the heat of the moment on Thursday, when he was pulled from the Saints 23-20 loss to the Carolina Panthers?in Charlotte.Ingram could be seen expressing his frustration with the decision, yelling as he was escorted back to the locker room.I was yelling at a lot of people. Because I didnt agree that I was ruled out the game. But I didnt know that I was unconscious or knocked out for three seconds, whatever it was, Ingram said. I rolled over on my own, I talked to the doctors on my own, I talked to Coach [Sean] Payton on my own when I was laying there. So I figured I was good. I figured I was gonna go to the sideline, have some tests and be able to come back in.But they ruled me out -- which was the right decision -- and everythings looking good.Ingram acknowledged that players should not be allowed to diagnose themselves.Ingram suffered the concussion during the third quarter. Players immediately waved to the sideline for trainers as Ingram was down on the field for a few moments. But he soon walked off the field under his own power and later walked back to the locker room for evaluation.Payton has also been optimistic about Ingrams diagnosis since Friday morning, when he said he expected him to be fine.I think its encouraging with him, and Ive said that all along, Payton said Wednesday morning.If Ingram plays Sunday, he will likely serve as the leading half of a timeshare with veteran running back Tim Hightower. Although Ingram has had some inconsistent production this season, he remains on pace for 920 rushing yards, 363 receiving yards and eight touchdowns.There also was encouraging news on Wednesday for the other players on the Saints injury list. Left tackle Terron Armstead (knee/quad) and cornerback Delvin Breaux (fibula) returned to practice after being held out last week.Breaux said last week he expected to be ready to roll for the final six weeks of the season.Armstead was noncommittal about his chances of playing but said he would give it his all.[It has been] extremely frustrating, extremely, said Armstead, who has appeared in only four games this season while dealing with the nagging but unspecified knee issue. I want nothing more than to be on the field battling with my guys each and every day in practice, game, everything. So its definitely frustrating. chinajerseysnfl.net .

A roundup of the past weeks notable boxing results from around the world:Saturday at Las VegasAndre Ward W12 Sergey Kovalev --?Fight recap Wins unified light heavyweight title Scores: 114-113 (three times) Records: Ward (31-0, 15 KOs); Kovalev (30-1-1, 26 KOs)Rafaels remarks: In the most significant match of the year -- an HBO PPV showdown between undefeated top-5 pound-for-pound fighters -- fans got the exciting fight they deserved but the decision was controversial as former unified super middleweight world champion Ward, 32, of Oakland, eked out a questionable nod to take three world title belts off Kovalev, 33, the heavy-handed Russian who was making his ninth defense. cheap jerseys online . Although Kovalev hurt Ward with a jab in the first round, dropped him with a right hand to the forehead in the second round and was in total control through the first half of the fight, Ward did make a nice comeback by finding the right range and making adjustments. But he got every possible benefit of the doubt from the three judges, two of whom gave him rounds 7-12 and one who gave him five of the last six rounds.Ward was the favorite of the crowd of 13,310 at T-Mobile Arena, so they were generally happy with the decision, but the vast majority of media had Kovalev winning. Kovalev has a rematch clause and his team said it will exercise it immediately, so expect to see to see this fight again next year.Darleys Perez D10 Maurice Hooker --?Full undercard recap Junior welterweight scores: 97-93 Perez, 97-93 Hooker, 95-95 Records: Perez (33-2-2, 21 KOs); Maurice Hooker (21-0-3, 16 KOs)Rafaels remarks: Perez, 33, of Colombia, a former lightweight world titleholder moving up in weight, deserved the clear and wide decision. It was a bad and boring fight but that was mainly because Hooker, 27, of Dallas, did basically nothing but back up and miss tons of wide punches. He certainly did not come close to living up to his pre-fight boasts of a knockout. Now its one thing not get a knockout if you predict one. Fine. Happens all the time. But to talk the smack Hooker talked and then not even attempt to press the action is bad form. While Hooker ran, Perez went after him throughout the fight and the judges took a win from him. According to CompuBox statistics, Perez landed 146 of 413 punches (35 percent) while Hooker connected on 104 of 485 shots (21 percent). Perez also outjabbed the taller Hooker (69-42).Oleksandr Gvozdyk TKO8 Isaac Chilemba -- Full undercard recap Light heavyweight Scores: 96-93 (twice), 95-94 Records: Gvozdyk (12-0, 10 KOs); Chilemba (24-5-2, 10 KOs)Rafaels remarks: The 29-year-old Gvozdyk is not your average prospect. He was a 2012 Olympic bronze medalist from Ukraine who had around 250 amateur fights, so he was already pretty advanced. But he was nonetheless taking a major step up in competition against Chilemba, 29, the Malawi native living in South Africa. Some thought Gvozdyk was biting off more than he could chew but he was not. He looked sharp, especially with his jab, in a dominant win, the best of his career.Although Chilemba, who was being trained by the great Roy Jones Jr. for the first time, ultimately retired on his stool following the eighth round because of a right elbow injury he said he suffered in the third round, he was well on his way to defeat as all three judges had Gvozdyk, by far the heavier hitter, ahead 79-73 at the time of the stoppage. Gvozdyks dominance was illustrated by the CompuBox punch statistics. He landed 140 of 533 punches (26 percent) while Chilemba connected with 80 of 354 blows (23 percent). Usually, when a fighter throws more, lands more and lands at a higher rate than his opponent he wins the fight.Curtis Stevens W10 James De La Rosa -- Full undercard recap Middleweight Scores: 98-90, 96-92 (twice) Records: Stevens (29-5, 21 KOs); De La Rosa (23-5, 13 KOs)Rafaels remarks: For three rounds this was a fun fight. The rest of it was dreadful but Stevens, 31, of Brooklyn, New York, had matters well in hand against De La Rosa, 29, of Harlingen, Texas, who lost his third fight in a row. Stevens, a good puncher, started very fast and looked like he might end it quickly when he scored a solid knockdown with a left hand with 20 seconds left in the first round. Stevens kept up the pressure, cutting De La Rosa over the left eye in the second round and engaging him in a wild and extended exchange in the third round that gave you the feeling this was going to be a tremendous brawl. But then all the air went out of the fight. Both guys were perhaps a bit tired or maybe wary of the other mans power. Whatever it was, it turned into a dreadful fight but one that Stevens, a knockout victim to Gennady Golovkin in a 2013 world title bout, won with ease.Claressa Shields W4 Franchon Crews -- Full recap Super middleweight Scores: 40-36 (three times) Records: Shields (1-0, 0 KOs); Crews (0-1)Rafaels remarks: The only bright spot of the entire horrific Sergey Kovalev-Andre Ward undercard was this exciting slugfest between Shields and Crews, who gave fans a tremendous show despite Shields legitimately winning every round. It was an absolute travesty that it was not part of the pay-per-view and that is not just because it was an exciting slugfest. It was because Shields, 21, of Flint, Michigan, deserved the exposure for her pro debut following winning her second consecutive Olympic gold medal in Rio de Janeiro in August as she culminated her incredible 77-1 amateur career as the best female boxer in the world. Crews, 29, of Baltimore, was no pushover either. She was a decorated amateur as well with numerous accolades, despite losses to Shields in the unpaid ranks. They came out swinging like Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns in the opening round and rarely let up. Shields, however, was quicker, stronger and her punches were straighter. If there is going to be someone to bring more interest to womens boxing in the United States, Shields is the one.Saturday at Hanover, GermanyMarco Huck W12 Dmytro Kucher Cruiserweight Scores: 119-109, 117-111 (twice) Records: Huck (40-3-1, 27 KOs); Kucher (24-2-1, 18 KOs)Rafaels remarks: Huck, 32, of Germany, was the dominant cruiserweight in the world from 2009 to 2015, making a division-record tying 13 defenses before getting knocked out in the 11th round of a big upset by Polands Krzysztof Glowacki in August 2015. Huck, typically in exciting fights, has won two fights in a row since, including this lopsided but entertaining affair against European champion Kucher, 32, of Ukraine. There were several close rounds in the fight but Huck did what he always does, which is to grind out a tough, physical fight. Kucher fought well but Huck landed the cleaner, harder punches throughout the fight. In the eighth round, an accidental head butt left Huck with a cut over his left eye. Later in the round, Huck rocked him with a right hand and then tossed him to the mat. Kucher was in trouble but got through it and went the distance but it was a clear loss.Friday at LondonGeorge Groves W12 Eduard Gutknecht Super middleweight Scores: 119-110, 119-109 (twice) Records: Groves (25-3, 18 KOs); Gutknecht (30-5-1, 13 KOs)Rafaels remarks: Groves, 28, of England, is a three-time world title challenger, having lost twice to Carl Froch by knockout and by split decision to Badou Jack. Groves won his fourth fight in a row since the defeat to Jack in September 2015, but it had an unfortunate ending. Groves pounded out a one-sided decision against two-time world title challenger Gutknecht, a 34-year-old Kazakhstan native living in Germany, who took a lot of punishment and suffered a cut left eye in the ninth round. After the fight, Gutknecht collapsed in his dressing room and rushed to the hospital, where he underwent brain surgery. He is reportedly in stable condition. As unfortunate as Gutknechts situation is, the victory probably will propel Groves into another world title opportunity in 2017.Friday at Indio, Calif.Pablo Cesar Cano W10 Mauricio Herrera Welterweight Scores: 97-91 (twice) Cano, 95-93 Herrera Records: Cano (30-5-1, 21 KOs); Herrera (22-7, 7 KOs)Rafaels remarks: In Golden Boys Estrella TV main event, Cano, 26, of Mexico, shook off a split decision loss to Alan Sanchez in May with this good victory in an entertaining scrap against fellow former interim junior welterweight titlist Herrera, 36, of Riverside, California, who lost his second bout in a row. Before the fight Herrera, who many thought outpointed then-junior welterweight world champion Danny Garcia in a controversial loss, said his career might be on the line with another defeat and now he will have some soul searching to do as he looked old. The more aggressive Cano was quicker, stronger and beat him to the punch throughout the fight. Cano, aided by the right hand he landed all night, won rather handily but the scores wound up a bit closer because referee Ray Corona docked points from Cano in the fourth and eighth rounds for repeated low blows.Friday at Kissimmee, Fla.Christopher Diaz W8 Fernando Vargas Featherweight Scores: 79-83, 78-74, 77-75 Records: Diaz (19-0, 11 KOs); Vargas (30-11-3, 20 KOs)Rafaels remarks: Diaz, a 22-year-old prospect from Puerto Rico, got in some good work in a decision win against Mexican veteran Vargas, 28, in the main event of Top Ranks Solo Boxeo series on UniMas. Diaz used his quicker hands and solid combinations to work Vargas over en route to the decision. It was the fifth win of the year for Diaz, who is moving along nicely and positioned for a possible breakout year in 2017.Also on the card, Julian Rodriguez (15-0, 10 KOs), 22, of Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, rolled to a decision win against steppingstone opponent Jerry Belmontes (21-10, 6 KOs), 27, of Corpus Christi, Texas. Rodriguez, known as Hammer Hands, knocked Belmontes down twice (in the first and second rounds) on his way to shutout scores of 80-70 on two scorecards and 78-72 on the third.In another bout on the show, former middleweight world title challenger Matt Korobov (27-1, 14 KOs), 33, a 2008 Russian Olympian fighting out of Saint Petersburg, Florida, scored an eight-round shutout of journeyman Scott Sigmon (27-10-1, 15 KOs), 29, of Lynchburg, Virginia. Korobov won 80-72 on all three scorecards in his third victory in a row since he got knocked out in the sixth round of a fight he was winning easily by Andy Lee for a vacant middleweight world title in December 2014. wholesale nfl jerseys .

The Spokane goaltender finished with 28 saves, including a Brandon Fushimi penalty shot in the second period that would have tied the game 1-1. TEMPE, Ariz. -- Utah was concerned about Arizona States attacking defense. Turns out the Utes can bring a little pressure, too.Joe Williams had another big game in his post-retirement tour and No. 15 Utah had 11 sacks among its 22 tackles for loss, leading the Utes to a 49-26 win over Arizona State Thursday night.We just kept plugging away and the flood gates just opened up near the end of the game, Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said.Utah (8-2, 5-2 Pac-12, No. 13 AP) overcame a slow start with a series of spectacular plays against the FBS worst passing defense to end an eight-game losing streak in Tempe.Williams ran for 181 yards and a pair of scores, giving him 844 yards and five touchdowns in four games since returning from a four-week retirement.Troy Williams threw for 296 yards and three of his four touchdown passes to Raelon Singleton, who had 116 yards on four catches to help the Utes stay within reach of No. 16 Colorado in the Pac-12 South.Utahs defense found a new level of pressure.The Utes harassed Arizona State quarterback Manny Wilkins all night, most of it coming from Hunter Dimick . The senior defensive end entered the game with seven sacks and nearly doubled his total against Wilkins, pulling him down five times to break the school record.Utah had six sacks in the fourth quarter and now has the two highest single-game sack totals in FBS this season after getting 10 against San Jose State on Sept. 17.We probably missed him a much as we got him, Dimick said. That dude was a freak athlete, but toward the end we fortunately were able to get him bottled up.Wilkins was adept at avoiding some tackles with some how-did-he-do-that moves in his return from injury, but also made some key mistakes.He threw an interception in the end zone in the first quarter and Chase Hansen put the game put the game out of reach by returning an interception 43 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter.Wilkins finished with 309 yards and a touchdown on 19-of-31 passing.Those are completely mental errors on my part, errors I cant make, Wilkins said.Arizona State (5-5, 2-5) had plenty of mistaakes in its defensive secondary again. cheap nfl jerseys. The Sun Devils held Utah to 27 total yards in the first quarter, but once the Utes got one big play, they kept `em coming.Singleton got the first one, shedding a tackling along the sideline on a 64-yard touchdown . It was the 13th touchdown of 50 yards or more allowed by Arizona State this season.Utahs next touchdown wasnt over 50 yards, but it was spectacular: Siaosi Wilson laying out for a 27-yard catch just inside the pylon, held up by official review.The Sun Devils went back to their defensive lapsing at the end of the second quarter, inexplicably leaving Singleton open -- no one was within 15 yards of him -- in the end zone for a 17-yard score.Williams had the 14th scoring play of 50-plus yards against Arizona State to open the third quarter, breaking a couple tackles on an 82-yard touchdown run.They had a great game plan and stuck to it, Arizona State safety Marcus Ball said. They did some things and schemes, but down the stretch we had some self-inflicted wounds that cost us.SPECTACULAR SUN DEVILSArizona State had a pair of spectacular touchdown of its own.NKeal Harry had one in the second quarter, covering about 50 yards while dodging numerous tacklers on a botched fake play turned into a 31-yard scoring run.Tim White added another in the third quarter, somehow getting a foot down at the edge of the end zone for a 12-yard score.THE TAKEAWAYUtahs defense was at its harassing best and its offense had a nice balance, setting the Utes up nicely for the seasons final two games.Arizona State got a spark from Wilkins return, but couldnt protect him or stop giving up big plays on defense. The Sun Devils need to win one of their final two games to become bowl eligible.UP NEXTUtah hosts Oregon next Saturday before playing at No. 12 Colorado in a potential showdown for the Pac-12 South title.Arizona State hosts No. 4 Washington next Saturday before playing at rival Arizona in its regular-season finale. 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 ' ' '

MOSCOW -- A year after the release of a damning report into widespread doping, Russian track and field is hopeful of a way back into the global fold. Cheap Green Bay Packers Jerseys 2017 .On November 9, 2015, the World Anti-Doping Agencys independent commission unleashed a strongly worded, 323-page account of how Russian athletes, coaches and officials had colluded in the use of performance-enhancing drugs before and after the 2012 London Olympics.That report set in motion a year of turmoil and legal battles for Russia, which had more than 100 athletes in various sports barred from the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, including all but one member of the track and field team. The Russian track federation remains barred from international competition, with no date set for when it could return.Weve lived through a hard year, very hard, All-Russian Athletics Federation general secretary Mikhail Butov told The Associated Press. Not just regarding the participation of our athletes at the Olympics, which was the most important thing for us, but in terms of recognizing the situation and understanding which way to go.Despite being under the heaviest sanctions in track and field history, Russian officials insist they are making progress on anti-doping reforms and plan to send athletes to major competitions in the coming months. The main target is the European indoor championships in Belgrade, Serbia, from March 3-5, federation president Dmitry Shlyakhtin said after talks with IAAF representatives in Monaco.The IAAF will hold a special congress in Monaco on Dec. 3.Any Russians who are allowed to compete will probably have to accept neutral status in IAAF events rather than officially representing Russia, Butov suggested. The IAAF declined to comment on the talks.The work has continued and there is something to show for it, Butov said.The only Russian who competed in track and field at the Rio Games was long jumper Darya Klishina, who was allowed to take part under IAAF rules because she had been based in the U.S. for several years, away from the Russian drug-testing system, which faced accusations that officials and lab staff had covered up hundreds of failed tests.Russian track and field officials and athletes hope the IAAF will accept individual athletes applications to compete, even if the federation as a whole remains suspended.Now it seems as if that criterion about living abroad can probably be disregarded, Butov said. The issue now is that the testing that has been done in this period is considered convincing and guaranteed to give an athlete the opportunity to be considered for competition. If its not like that, itll be an endless process.The Russian drug-testing agency has been suspended for almost a year, with testing carried out in reduced numbers by Britains anti-doping agency. Russian Olympic Committee president Alexander Zhukov said the situation was totally unacceptable because UK Anti-Doping plans to collect only 6,000 samples in 2017, compared to the 20,000 collected by the Russian agency at its peak. He said that only national team athletes are being targeted for testing, leaving youth and junior athletes out of the system.So, in a situation like this, why not to find a fast-track way to give the accreditation back to RUSADA and to renew its activities, especially since it is under the full control of WADA? Zhukov said in a speech to IOC officials released Wednesday. What is preventing this? For our part, we would like to appeal to you as WADAs founders to assist in the prompt reinstatement of the Russian anti-doping agency and the anti-doping laboratory in their rights.Among those who missed the Rio Games was hammer thrower Sergei Litvinov, who had hoped to compete in his first Olympics.Ive spent the whole year on edge, he said.Litvinov, a vocal critic of drug use, had requested extra drug-testing by the IAAF to prove he was clean, but still came under the Russian teams ban. He still doesnt know when he can compete again.Whatever will be, will be, he said. It could all change at any moment. Cheap Packers Jerseys China . Collaros, 25, was solid last season, posting a 5-2 record as the starter while incumbent Ricky Ray was injured.

Thousands of Southern California fans enveloped the Trojans to celebrate an improbable win secured by an interim coach, an inconsistent kicker and a thin defence that wouldnt break. Former West Coast defender Mitch Brown says he couldnt help but feel lost after failing to find a new AFL home, but hes made peace with the outcome and doesnt hold any regrets.Brown turned down a contract extension at the Eagles in a bid to find a new AFL club in Melbourne, where his netballer wife Shae had moved.But Browns AFL dream came to a crushing end after being overlooked in the national, rookie and pre-season drafts.Aged just 27 and with 94 games under his belt, Brown felt he had plenty more to give on the AFL stage.But the 195cm veteran is weighing up whether to continue his football career at a lower level, or embark on a different profession.Brown revealed he didnt even listen to Mondays rookie draft.Instead, he caught a train in Melbourne just for fun, before his manager called to deliver the bad news that hed been overlooked.Its been a total mind explosion, Brown told EON Sports Radio.I sort of made peace with it all. But it did hit home a little bit.Since then, my phone has been flat out from country teams. Theres been some towns Ive never heard of before wanting my services next year.I really dont know whether I want to play footy.Brown was snared by the Eagles as a 17-year-old with pick No.16 in the 2006 national draft.He said being cut loose from the AFL system had been a weird experience, especially after spending all of his adult life there. Cheap Packers Jerseys. .Theres been guys who have played 10, 15 years at the Eagles ... and theyre 100 per cent set for life after footy, Brown said.But they still go through this period of six or 12 months where they have this loss of identity.It nearly happens to everyone, because we follow this schedule for so long.We literally get a piece of paper that tells you you have to be here, here and here - for 10 years.Suddenly, you wake up and say, What do I do?.Brown praised the AFL Players Association for making sure axed or retired players werent cast entirely into the wilderness after their career.But he felt more improvements could be made.It does take a lot of courage to ask for help and be vulnerable, Brown said.Because for all your career, you get built up by the fans as this hero, and you can do literally anything.So you finish your career and go, I actually need some help.Brown described himself as a hopeless romantic, and he fully supported wife Shaes decision to join Collingwood in Australias new Super Netball competition, which starts in February. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ChinaCheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '

SILVERSTONE, Great Britain -- Red Bull reserve driver Pierre Gasly said driving with the Halo cockpit protection device was weird but did not have a big impact on visibility. Jimmy Graham Seahawks Jersey .The Halo is undergoing its final on-track tests before a decision is taken on whether or not it is introduced next year. Gasly became the latest driver to run it during a test session on Tuesday and said the structure had only marginally changed visibility from the cockpit.It does not change much in terms of visibility but it feels weird to see something above your helmet, also on the straight you see this sort of big triangle above you, he said. Now, I think you get used to it and you definitely can drive with it.But for me, Formula One has always been open cockpit. For sure, there are more risks but drivers have known this for a long time and I think all drivers that climb into a racing car are aware of the risks and accept them. I dont think things should change on that front. Its always been that way. Well see what happens but I like it how it is now.It was the first time any team other than Ferrari has tested a Halo prototype and the run came two days after Red Bull boss Christian Horner said he plans to vote against it at upcoming Strategy Group meetings. OBrien Schofield Seahawks Jersey . -- Running backs Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings were back at practice for the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday despite being hampered by hamstring injuries. Kevin Norwood Seahawks Jersey . -- Nathan Pancel scored twice as the Sudbury Wolves defeated the North Bay Battalion 4-2 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action.http://www.authenticseahawksstoreonline.com/Black-27-Tharold-Simon-Womens-Jersey/ .Y. -- Marcell Dareus and the Buffalo Bills defence made life miserable for Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco.

With the start of the 2016 NFL season, Im excited to contribute this weekly column for the second straight year. During the 2015 regular season, my weekly picks produced a 25-19 against the spread record (56.82 percent), and heres to providing more winning picks and betting systems.If youre unfamiliar with this column, we use contrarian strategies to find value in the betting marketplace. Whenever the public zigs, we zag. As one of the core philosophies at Sports Insights, it has yielded consistently profitable results.To understand why the contrarian approach works, its important to first understand the inner workings of a sportsbook. The point spread isnt the predicted margin of victory, nor are oddsmakers attempting to balance their book by attracting 50 percent of the action on each side, thereby mitigating any risk. The truth here is that books shade their opening lines to capitalize on public perception -- allowing their most-respected clients to shape the line.Almost all bettors can be sorted into one of two categories: sharps and squares. Sharps are typically wise guys or betting syndicates who spread large bets across multiple sportsbooks. Sharps are widely respected -- theyre a smaller group that moves lines across the sports betting marketplace.A majority of bettors can be categorized as squares. These casual weekend warriors place wagers based on gut-feelings and instinct, rather than research and analysis. Squares love winning teams and high-scoring games, and therefore they have a tendency to pound favorites and overs and point totals. This has historically created a slight edge in betting on underdogs and unders.Every week in this column Ill explain how readers can capitalize on squares overreacting to blowouts, prolonged streaks or major injuries. Well break down profitable betting trends, identify sharp money indicators, examine public betting behavior and share insights from several prominent oddsmakers.In the first system of the new season, I wanted to take advantage of artificially skewed lines created LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Good things result from rebounds, and No. 8 Louisville succeeded against Western Kentucky by attacking the boards.Asia Durr scored 16 points, including two key 3-pointers 80 seconds apart in the fourth quarter, and Louisville outrebounded Western Kentucky 15-5 down the stretch for a 68-61 victory on Sunday.Louisville (8-2) erased a 38-32 halftime deficit with 10 straight points before Jaycee Coe rallied WKU (5-4) with three consecutive 3s, beginning a back-and-forth stretch that continued into the final quarter. The Cardinals 14-7 run helped them go ahead for good at 60-59 on Mariya Moores layup with 4:12 left, and Durr added a 3 with 3:33 to go.Offensive rebounds set up both baskets and symbolized Louisvilles fierce approach that also held WKU to 29 percent shooting in the final quarter.We just had to get a stop on defense and thats where it all started, said forward Myisha Hines-Allen, who also had 16 points with 11 rebounds, including an offensive board resulting in Durrs insurance 3.When we came out strong in the third quarter and were able to hold them, I dont know how many points we gained. Its just always defense, and then offense.Cortnee Walton added a layup and Briahanna Jackson and Hines-Allen combined for three free throws in the final minutes to seal the win in the intrastate matchup. Louisville avenged last seasons two-point loss in Bowling Green and has won seven of the last nine in the series.I was really proud how we started the fourth quarter defensively because we missed the first two shots, coach Jeff Walz said. But then we had stops too because all of a sudden if it (the deficit) goes from eight to 12, youve got big-time problems. So we actually defended, which was important.Ivy Brown scored 12 points and Tashia Brown had 11 for the Lady Toppers, who had won two in a row.THE BIG PICTUREWestern Kentucky: The Lady Toppers went 9 for 22 fromm 3-point range and led several times, but were dominated 41-25 on the boards and had several scoreless stretches that allowed Louisville to rally.dddddddddddd WKU shot 41 percent.Of her teams long-range shooting, coach Michelle Clark-Heard said, That is what we do, shoot the 3. When you are an undersized team and they are bigger than us, and most teams will be bigger than us, then its what we have to do.Kentucky transfer Kyvin Goodin-Rogers had eight points including two 3s and four rebounds in her WKU debut.Louisville: Freshman Sydney Zambrotta made 5 of 6 3-point attempts for 15 points while playing a season-high 16 minutes, providing a big boost. The Cardinals shot 46 percent from the field and 59 percent (10 of 17) from long range.I knew when I got in the game that I had to step up for my team, Zambrotta said, and Im happy we got the win.Louisvilles control inside made the difference late as it outscored WKU 28-18 in the paint.JUST A SUGGESTIONLouisvilles free throw struggles continued as it made just 4 of 9 attempts. Walz noted the Cardinals 3-point shooting and joked at changing the rule to allow his team to shoot freebies from long range.Were going to stand far back and see if the official will allow me to throw it from the bench, he said. (Just) shoot a 3 in stride because we do it better than we shoot free throws.POLL IMPLICATIONSLouisville should remain in the top 10 after beating its second in-state foe in a week. The Cardinals beat No. 15 Kentucky last Sunday.UP NEXTWestern Kentucky: Begins a five-game homestand on Thursday against Lipscomb.Louisville: Faces visiting South Dakota State for the first time on Wednesday night.

BISMARCK, N.D. -- North Dakota State University President Dean Bresciani said Monday that some text messages he sent regarding heavily criticized and now-rescinded media guidelines for covering Bison athletics were not appropriate.Bresciani in a campus-wide email also continued to maintain that he wasnt consulted on the guidelines that were roundly panned by journalists and on social media before NDSU scrapped them after just four days.Bresciani said he was at a funeral out of state when the guidelines were made public, but the explosive reaction on social media ... quickly made me aware (of) them.The rules issued July 29 primarily involved restrictions on live broadcasting, internet streaming and social media posts at sporting events for media outlets that didnt have contracts to broadcast basketball and football games. NDSU -- whose football team is the five-time defending Football Championship Subdivision champion -- issued a follow-up statement the next day saying the conditions were needed to protect the commercial interests of stations paying the Fargo school for exclusive rights to TV and radio broadcasts.Three days later, on Aug. 2, NDSU issued a statement rescinding the guidelines. It said Bresciani had not been informed of the guidelines in advance, and quoted him as saying I was profoundly disappointed when I learned the facts about this issue.Text messages from Bresciani to Athletic Director Matt Larsen late on July 29 and early on July 30 that were obtained by blogger Rob Port appeared to contradict Brescianis profoundly disappointed mood.In one text about a newspaper reporters response to the new rules, Bresciani wrote Larson, to make you smirk. In another exchange, Larsen wrote that he was going to circle the wagons with staff, to which Bresciani replied that he thought it was a good idea.Bresciani in his Monday email acknowledged initially supporting the guidelines.I now understand that my initial support was misplaced and some of my text communications were not appropriate, he wrote.In another text the day before the guidelines were rescinded, Bresciani told Larsen to control the spin and to own the decision as yours not something you were told you had to do. He added that he would back the athletic director.NDSU spokeswoman Laura McDaniel said Monday that during that exchange, Bresciani was coaching Larsen on how to approach a possible meeting with upset media members about potential changes to the guidelines. She acknowledged that control the spin was a bad word choice, but that it was absolutely not (Bresciani) saying, `You tell everybody this is your fault.In the schools Aug. 2 statement rescinding the guidelines, Larsen apologized, said he erred in not bringing these ideas forward for the presidents review and regretted the damage this has caused NDSU and its administration.Larsen did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday.State Rep. Mark Sanford, R-Grand Forks, chairman of the state Legislatures Interim Higher Education Committee, said Monday that he thinks the guidelines were ill-advised.Thats kind of the heart of all of this, he said.A Fargo newspaper has publicly called for Bresciani to resign. Sanford declined to comment on whether he thought NDSU needed new leadership, saying Brescianis future is up to the state Board of Higher Education.The board, which oversees North Dakotas public colleges and universities, in June decided to put off voting on a contract extension for Bresciani until November. It said it wanted to review his progress on meeting goals on teamwork, communication, collaboration, information technology and research.University System Chancellor Mark Hagerott did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday. Higher Education Chairwoman Kathleen Neset was traveling and not immediately available for comment. Vice Chairman Don Morton declined comment, referring questions to Neset.---Follow Blake Nicholson on Twitter at: http://twitter.com/NicholsonBlake BARCELONA, Spain -- Barcelona says defender Jeremy Mathieu will be sidelined for about three weeks because of a right foot injury.Tests conducted Wednesday showed the extent of the injury, which the France international sustained during a 1-0 loss to Espanyol in the Catalan Super Cup.Barcelona, which rested its top players in Tuesdays cup match, hosts last-place Granada in the Spanish league on Saturday.ddddddddddddFellow defenders Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba will also miss the game through injury. 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 ' ' '

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Buffalo Sabres top-line center Jack Eichel is out indefinitely after being diagnosed with a high ankle sprain on Wednesday.The Sabres provided the update hours after Eichel was hurt in the teams final practice before it opens the regular season hosting Montreal on Thursday.As of now, no timetable has been set for his return, the team posted on its Twitter account.On Thursday,?coach Dan Bylsma said that Eichel?will miss weeks and not days.Eichel was in front of the net when he got tangled up with a defenseman and his leg buckled beneath him.He lay on the ice and grabbed his leg in pain as the team circled around him. Eichel was unable to put any weight on his leg as teammates helped him off the ice.The injury occurred with less than 10 minutes remaining in practice, Bylsma said.Its the cusp and eve of starting a new season, one we are all looking forward to, and I think thats why it takes the wind out of the sails of the arena today, Bylsma said.Eichel is key to the Sabres future after being selected with the No. 2 pick in the 2015 draft. He is coming off a solid rookie season in which he had 24 goals and 32 assists for 56 points in 81 games.Eichel played one year at Boston University and became the second freshman to win college hockeys top honor, the Hobey Baker Award.You expect to have to deal with injuries throughout the year, Bylsma said. Its one we are going to have to deal with, whatever the extent of the situation is. Our team is not just Jack Eichel, its not just Ryan OReilly.OReilly, the Sabres captain, participated in his first full practice Wednesday since he experienced muscle spasms during his preseason debut last week. He looked good out there, Bylsma said.Forward Kyle Okposo did not practice Wednesday due to a bruised knee and was ruled out on Thursday.Okposo signed a seven-year, $42 million contract with the Sabres in July after eight seasons with the New York Islanders, becoming Buffalos second-highest-paid player, after OReilly, who signed a seven-year, $52 million deal shortly after being acquired in a trade from Colorado last summer.Defenseman Dmitry Kulikov?was also?scratched after hurting his back during a preseason game two weeks ago. DALLAS -- The Dallas Stars are looking for consistency when they host the New York Rangers on Thursday at American Airlines Center.The Stars (12-13-6) play the second contest of a five-game homestand, one which coach Lindy Ruff said could define the struggling teams season. The Stars opened the homestand with a 6-2 victory against the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday.Its important. We all realize where were at in the standings and how weve been playing to start the year, Stars captain Jamie Benn said. We see this homestand as a big one for us. Like you said, it could be make or break and we want to be making something of this. We got one tonight and well regroup and get ready for the next one.The Stars scored five goals in a span of six minutes, 43 seconds against the Ducks, and goalie Antti Niemi made 34 saves to improve to 6-1-1 at home. The Finnish goalie was playing for the first time in five games, and said getting a quick start was important for his confidence.Against Anaheim, Niemi made several key saves in the first period, including a stop on a 3-on-1 and a stop on a breakaway on the same shift.The Rangers (20-10-1) have been riding Antti Raantas hot hand and the back-up goalie made four consecutive starts. He won three straight games and posted back-to-back shutouts before the Rangers lost to the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday 2-1.While Raanta played well in the loss, Henrik Lundqvist will likely start against the Stars and Raanta said hes well aware the Swede is the Rangers starter.Its special when you can steal starts froom Hank, Raanta said on Tuesday.ddddddddddddNo matter who starts in goal, the Rangers rely on one of the NHLs best offenses this season. New York scored a league-best 106 goals through 31 games, and 14 players have at least 12 points, including leading-scorer J.T. Miller with 22.Miller has been one of the NHLs breakout stars this season. He had 43 points in 82 games last season and is on pace to set a career high in his third professional season.The Stars led the NHL in goals last season, but have yet to find the offensive spark on a consistent basis. Theyve scored 11 goals in their last two home games, but scored only three goals during back-to-back road losses sandwiched in between the victories.Ruff is hopeful his lineup will build off the win against Anaheim, and the Stars should be better as injured players return to form. Jiri Hudler had his first point of the season against the Ducks, while defenseman Johnny Oduya played his second game after returning from injury and had an assist.The Stars will also have Jamie Oleksiak back as a lineup option against the Rangers. The 6-foot-7 defenseman was suspended two games for a hit to the head on Philadelphias Chris VandeVelde on Saturday.Oleksiak had been playing some of his best hockey this season before the suspension. While Oleksiak has only played in 13 of the Stars first 31 games, Ruff said his play recently dictated he should be in the lineup. 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 ' ' '

As the 26-year-old learned, though, in the major leagues, one can be enough.Matt Kemp hit a three-run homer and Mike Foltynewicz pitched 7 2/3 strong innings, leading the Atlanta Braves over San Francisco 3-1 on Saturday night.Kemp homered in the fourth to make it 3-1 against Suarez (3-2), who was called up from Triple-A Sacramento to start after Jake Peavy went on the 15-day disabled list with a lower back strain.For the first three innings all his pitches were crisp and hitting their spots, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said of Suarez. The pitch hed like back would the one to Kemp. It got away from him. That three-run homer was the difference in the game and our (bullpen) did a great job to hold them there.Kemps 26th homer was a high-arching shot that cleared the 399-foot fence in center, an especially impressive shot on a cold night.It always feels good to put your team up, especially coming in here, Kemp said. Its good to kind of quiet the crowd a little bit because they get riled up when theyre up, if you can get on the board and get them down, theyll back off you a little bit.Suarez didnt allow a hit until Adonis Garcia singled leading off the fourth. Freddie Freeman followed with a double, and Kemp came to the plate with runners at second and third with nobody out.I was feeling very good, Suarez said. Then in the fourth it was one pitch and he put a good swing on it as he lifted it up. I threw a fastball. It was supposed to be outside and it wasnt. I just tried to keep my head up and get ready for the next one.San Francisco fell to 13-26 since the All-Star break, the worst record in the majors over that stretch. The Giants were seeking their first three-game winning streak since winning four in a row just before the break.The Giants fell two games behind the Dodgers for first in the NL West. Los Angeles beat the Chicago Cubs 3-2 earlier Saturday.Foltynewicz (7-4) struck out six and allowed five hits and a walk for just his second quality start in eight games.His only mistake came in the second inning, when Brandon Crawford socked an 0-1 fastball for his 12th homer. Crawford also doubled.The last-place Braves had lost 12 of 16 going into Saturday.The Giants were 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position.Jim Johnson pitched a perfect ninth for his 13th save.SCORELESS STREAK SNAPPEDPrior to Kemps homer, the Giants had thrown 25 consecutive scoreless innings going back to the fifth inning of a 1-0 loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday.GIANT SLAYERKemp leads all active players with 23 home runs against the Giants.Thats a big a strong man, Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said of Kemp. It was a short swing, it was a perfect swing almost, and that ball just took off. Its very impressive where it landed.TRAINERS ROOMGiants: 1B Brandon Belt was a late scratch with neck tightness.

TORONTO --This matinee World Cup of Hockey matchup between Team Sweden and Team North America didnt disappoint. In fact, it thrilled the masses Wednesday at Air Canada Centre and ended in a thrilling 4-3 overtime victory by Team North America, which means the roster of talented 23-and-under players is a step closer to advancing to the semifinals.The only way Team North America can advance is if Finland defeats Russia on Thursday. Sweden picked up a point in the OT loss and will advance thanks to its 2-1 record.Nathan MacKinnons tally in OT sealed Team North Americas victory.Sweden knew the North Americans speed would be a challenge, but the Scandinavians were stunned by just how fast the under-23s played from the opening puck drop. The first 1:35 of the game featured just about everything a hockey fan wants to see in 60 minutes of action. Team North America gained a 1-0 lead only 30 seconds into the game on Auston Matthews goal. Twenty-six seconds later,?Johnny Gaudreau was hauled down and awarded a penalty shot after he split Swedens top defensive pair,?Anton Stralman and Victor Hedman, on a potential breakaway. Gaudreau missed the penalty shot, but teammate Vincent Trocheck scored at 1:35 to give Team North America a 2-0 advantage. Judging by the crowd reaction (and even some in the press box), you would have never known it was a mid-week afternoon game in September. The atmosphere was electric, and the kids didnt disappoint with those three goals in the first 20 minutes. In true veteran fashion, however, Sweden ssettled in and scored twice in the opening period. Dezmen Southward Colts Jersey.

After 40 minutes and a remarkable number of shots, Team North America held a 37-27 advantage in that category.In the third, Sweden proved why its a favorite to win this best-on-best tournament. The Swedes kept the game to their pace and tied the game on Patrik Berglunds goal with 6:50 left in the period.Sweden entered this tournament with one of the most potent power plays of the eight teams, but it struggled in that category, going 0-for-5 against Team North America. In order for the Swedes to win this thing, they need to clean up their power play.Three Stars1.

DAVIE, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins?coach Adam Gase received a text from Arian Foster at 5:30 a.m. on Monday.At that time of day, Gase had a feeling the news wasnt good.Foster explained to Gase that he was retiring from the NFL after eight seasons. The former Pro Bowl running back was struggling with a pair of injuries to his groin and hamstring that were not healing like he expected. Foster rushed for just 5 yards on three carries Sunday in a win over the Buffalo Bills and made up his mind after the game.I was hoping I was wrong, said Gase, who added he was caught off guard. But he did a lot of good things in a short period of time for us. I know the injuries were really frustrating for him.Foster made his announcement publicly Monday evening once he was finished contacting teammates and coaches. Although surprised, the Dolphins said they have no issues with Foster leaving the team in the middle of the season.Im not upset because I want whats best for him, Gase said. If there was anything that was pulling him to where he couldnt be all in or his body wasnt all in, Im not going to be upset about that, because I had a great relationship with him.Added Dolphins receiver Jarvis Laandry: He felt it was time.dddddddddddd He can walk away from the game healthy and thats what I want for anyone.Players mentioned the biggest loss with Foster will be his leadership. He had an important role of mentoring young running backs Jay Ajayi, Damien Williams and rookie Kenyan Drake. Foster nearly missed as many games (three) as he played this season (four) but he stayed on top of his younger tailbacks while he was sidelined.According to Ajayi, Foster taught him a lot about running outside zone plays. Thats one of the plays with which Ajayi is having a lot of success the past couple weeks while posting back-to-back 200-yard rushing games.I would definitely say he was a great veteran presence for our team and definitely a big presence for our room, Ajayi said of Foster. He was able to just give us a lot of insight and the ins and outs of running and his experiences throughout his career. I definitely think that my experience with him grew from the beginning when I first met him. Im definitely grateful for the time we were able to share. 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 ' ' '

Injuries to their pitching staff havent yet been able to slow down the St. Louis Cardinals, who remain in top spot in the TSN.ca MLB Power Rankings, ahead of the Detroit Tigers and Cincinnati Reds. The Pittsburgh Pirates, up to fifth, are the third team from the National League Central in the Top Five. A soft spot in the schedule helped the Atlanta Braves win eight of nine, lifting them from 12 to seven, while winning six of nine helped the Rockies move from 15 to nine. 9-3 in their last dozen games, and boosted by the return of starting pitcher John Danks, the Chicago White Sox moved from 22 to 16 while the L.A. Angels have emerged from a first quarter coma to win eight straight, climbing from 28 to 19. On the down side, the Kansas City Royals have lost nine of their last 10 games, bad enough to fall from 11 to 22, and the Seattle Mariners have lost eight of nine, dropping from 18 to 24.

Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III keeps a separate points list for Americans to consider performances that might not show up in the standings, whether thats Rickie Fowler giving up potential starts to play in the Olympics or Kevin Kisner and Justin Thomas winning fall events that dont count.The bigger question is whether Darren Clarke is thinking along the same lines.That could determine whether Russell Knox is at Hazeltine next month. By winning the Travelers Championship, the 31-year-old from Scotland moved within 6.6 ranking points of the ninth and final automatic qualifying spot for Europe.Knox played college golf at Jacksonville University and has lived in Florida ever since. He didnt attempt to join the European Tour until after he won a World Golf Championship in Shanghai last year, meaning the 66 ranking points dont count. If they did, Knox would be No. 5 in the standings and virtually be assured of a spot.It puts me in a great position, Knox said Monday night.European qualifying ends in three weeks, though Knox The Barclays -- the start of the FedEx Cup playoffs and one of the strongest fields of the year -- does not count toward the European standings. His last chance to earn points would be the Wyndham Championship next week, but Knox said he doesnt think hes going to play. The Travelers was his 10th tournament in the last 13 weeks, and he still has four FedEx Cup events ahead of him.That means he might have to rely on a captains pick.I get it that the three picks are there for him to pick whoever he wants, Knox said. If he feels I can help the team, hell pick me. If he doesnt feel I can help, he has all the right in the world to pick someone else.Considering his two victories, anyone else might seem to be a lock for a pick.The problem is that Clarke already has five Ryder Cup rookies among the top nine -- Masters champion Danny Willett, Chris Wood, Rafa Cabrera-Bello, Andy Sullivan and Matthew Fitzpatrick. Clarke likely would look for experience to round out his team for the Sept. 30 start of the matches at Hazeltine.Then again, Europe had six rookies when it won the Ryder Cup at Wales.I think it would be very difficult for me not to be on the team, Knox said.---PAYNE STEWART AWARD: Jim Furyk went from a record score to a humbling award in the span of two days.Furyk, who set the PGA Tour record with a 58 in the final round of the Travelers Championship, was announced Tuesday as winner of the Payne Stewart Award.

The Payne Stewart Award is an important part of the tours efforts to honor Paynes legacy. Knowing my name will be forever linked to him through this honor is extremely humbling, and I am very grateful.Furyk and his wife Tabitha started a foundation after he won the FedEx Cup in 2010 to provide for needy families and children.

Blitzed by Hawthorn early in the 2014 AFL grand final, fast-starting Sydney are making sure the boot is now firmly on the other foot.Hawthorn ensured the last two grand finals were practically over by halftime thanks to dominant opening terms and the Swans are keen to emulate those feats.In 2014 they kicked five goals to two against Sydney in the first quarter and outscored them six to three in the second to lead by 42 points at halftime.It was more of the same in 2015, when the Hawks kicked five majors to West Coasts one in the opening term and were 31 up by the long break.In the past two weeks, Sydney have burnt off Adelaide and Geelong in similar fashion.They kicked seven goals in the first quarter of both games, having never previously booted more than six in the opening period of a finals fixture.The start will again be crucial when they face the Western Bulldogs in Saturdays grand final at the MCG.We understand the importance of starting well, Sydney ruckman Kurt Tippett told AAP.We always try to focus on our first couple of contests and and then flow from there.As a group, were well aware of how important the start is.The Swans have won 19 out of 25 first quarters, this season and havent trailed by more than 11 points at quarter time of any match.Sydney have kicked five or more goals in eight opening quarters this year, but their defence has also played a big part in their strong starts.Only twice this year have Sydney conceded more than three goals in an opening term, and they still won both games.They have kept five teams goalless till quarter time, among them competition heavy-hitters, Hawthorn, Geelong and Greater Western Sydney.The Bulldogs have also kicked five or more goals eight times in the first quarter, buthave been outscored in 11 of their 25 opening terms.Both clubs are among the top four in the competition in disposals, clearances, stoppages and tackles,I think the first half of footy is going to be red hot, said former Swans and Bulldogs forward Barry Hall.If the Bulldogs can stay with them, and I hope they can, they are a chance.Well see what sort of spirit theyve got in the second half of footy.They just play games out.. Virat Kohli, Indias captain, made the most of an easy-paced surface to score his 13th Test ton that guided his side to an impressive 267 for 3 at stumps on day one of the third Test against New Zealand in Indore on Saturday.The curator at Holkar Stadium produced a surface laden with cracks and Kohli, after winning his seventh successive toss in Tests, said that the pitch would aid batsmen on the first two days of the Test.Kohlis prediction was spot on, as he joined forces with Ajinkya Rahane to propel the hosts to a commanding total against a team strengthened by the return of their captain, Kane Williamson, who had missed the second Test in Kolkata due to illness. Williamson introduced spin in the fifth over after his seamers failed to extract early bite. The move paid off as Jeetan Patel struck in his first over to dismiss opener Murali Vijay for 10. India went to lunch at 75 for 2 with Cheteshwar Pujara and Kohli at the crease.Mitchell Santner accounted for a well-set Pujara after the hosts had reached the 100-run mark. His dismissal was to be the last of Indias setbacks on the first day, as Kohli and Rahane droppeed anchor.ddddddddddddKohli came into the Test with scores of 44, 3, 4, 9, 18, 9 and 45 in his last seven Test innings. He needed to find form and he did. In Indore, he was solid in defence and used the depth of the crease well against the spinners. What helped him was that he avoided playing extravagant shots that cost him his wicket in the earlier Tests. He didnt offer any clear chances, and the two times he edged the ball, it eluded the fielders.He brought up his 50 from 108 balls, shortly after tea. Kohli and Rahane added 167 runs in the 54 overs they batted together. Kohlis unbeaten 103, that came from 191 balls, included ten fours. His partner, Rahane, ended the day with an unbeaten 79.The 18,000-strong crowd, present at Holkar Stadium, hosting its first ever Test match, were treated to an impressive batting display from Indias top order - led by Kohli. India will now look to further compound New Zealands woes, on the second day, by adding to the already sizeable first-innings total.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 ' ' '

For the first time in living memory -- and possibly the first time in Wimbledons history -- British men have taken up residency on Centre Court every day from the opening afternoon through to the middle Saturday.Andy Murrays third-round match against Australias John Millman today takes that sequence to six days, with three appearances there for him. James Ward, Liam Broady, Marcus Willis and Dan Evans have also all played on the show court.Murray will be looking forward to this showing with some confidence, too. After a decade or so on the tour, the world No.2 has a perfect record against Australian opponents with 17 victories from 17 encounters. No wonder he says he loves Aussies.Its a run that began in February 2006, when he defeated Lleyton Hewitt in the San Jose final, and a sequence that the Briton will be confident of extending when he plays Millman for a place in the last 16 at Wimbledon.He might even end up playing another Australian in the next round, too, as if he progresses he would play either Nick Kyrgios or Spains Feliciano Lopez.At this stage of the French Open, Murray the Aussie-slayer had already played a couple of five-setters. But here at the All England Club he has won both of his matches -- against Britains Liam Broady and Taipeis Yen-Hsun Lu -- in straight sets, and conceded a total of just 15 games.Murray has had a perfect start to this tournament -- hes in a much better position now than he was before playing his third-round match in Paris, John Lloyd, a past Australian Open finalist and a former Great Britain Davis Cup captain, told ESPN. Hes just where he wants to be.Since Lendl and Murray reformed their partnership, the world No.2 has looked more composed on his way to winning all seven of his matches -- five at Queens and two at Wimbledon.He hasnt been doing any of the negative stuff, Lloyd observed. I havent noticed any tactical or technical changes in Murrays game since Lendl came back. Murray has continued playing aggressively.One of Murrays 17 successive victories against Australians came against Millman at a hard-court tournament in Brisbane, Millmans home city, in 2012.Millmans level that day -- he took a set off Murray in a best-of-three-set encounter -- impressed the Scot.And Millman has played some decent tennis during this Wimbledon, including taking out Frenchman Benoit Paire, the No.26 seed, in the second round, with that performance inspired by the news he will represent his country at the Olympics.For the first time at Wimbledon, Millman is through to the last 32. Murray, by contrast, has never lost before this stage of the competition.Its going to be great, said the world No.67. Its what you dream of, playing on the biggest courts against the biggest players. I feel I deserve to be there.The third round at Wimbledon is uncharted territory for me, but we start at zero-all, he said. I have never been one to go out with an intimidated mindset before I play the game. RIO DE JANIERO -- Each night before she goes to bed, Marti Malloy closes her eyes and settles deeply into herself. She sees it happen.She is standing tall on a mat at the Carioca Arena after beating her last opponent. The Olympic gold medal, so tantalizingly close at the London games four years ago, is finally hers. She searches the crowd for a small, white-haired man, almost a century old. He is her mentor and confidant -- the father of U.S. judo.If I can win, it will be bigger than just being about me and what I accomplished, Malloy says, her deep green eyes growing large at the thought. Hopefully it will help give a big boost to American judo. And it will be a sign to Mr. Uchida, thanking him for standing behind me all these years.And for everything else he has done.This past weekend, Yoshihiro Uchida embarked on an interminable journey from California to the Olympic Games in Rio. His flight ran into a storm, was diverted to land and refuel, then missed its connection. No matter his age, he was not about to turn back. This probably will be his protégés last Olympics. He might live long enough to watch the 2020 games on TV, but given the difficulties of travel, he almost certainly wont be there. Mr. Uchida is 96 years old.He has toiled for years at a sport which, for all its popularity worldwide, is obscure in America. His first Olympics were the 1964 games in Tokyo, where he coached the U.S. team. From scratch, he has built San Jose State into the preeminent judo power in the United States. Without fail, he still oversees practice every day.Yoshihiro Uchida is extraordinary. His life collided with one of the most shameful moments in American history, and that experience informs his supervision of Malloy and others, including Colton Brown, another San Jose State judoka who will fight in Rio this week. He has taught me to keep going, says Malloy, who at 30 is the third seed in Rios 57 kilogram weight division, a competition set to unfold on Monday. If you have a goal, stay at it, because nothing is impossible if you go about it the right way.Its a way of looking at life that comes from what hes been through.Born in a Calexico, California, on April 1, 1920, Uchida was raised near Anaheim by parents who had immigrated from Japan. They encouraged him to learn judo as a way of connecting with his roots.In December of 1941, he was a student at San Jose State and teaching judo when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. He was drafted into the Army and was in uniform when President Franklin Roosevelt signed the executive order that sent nearly 120,000 Japanese and Japanese-Americans on the West Coast into internment camps. There I was, an American citizen, set on defending my country, while at the same time our lives at home are being torn apart, Uchida told me before he set out to Rio. Were being sent from our homes and farms to the camps. For what? Because of being Japanese. My parents, and so many of my family members ...His voice fades. Uchida is a proud man. If he sees a flaw in technique, he lectures Malloy and the other judoka in his charge, but it is not easy for him to talk about his parents, his brothers and his sister, imprisoned in Poston, Arizona, behind barbed wire.Back then, despite the pain, Uchida managed to tamp down his anger and focus on making it through World War II. Afterward, he returned to San Jose State, a campus with a permanent reminder of life upended: The gymnasium had been a processing center that sent thousands to the camps.Unwilling to let go of his dreams, Uchida earned a degree in biological science. He revived the schools judo program, and began teaching judo to police cadets. Many were war veterans, and their views had been shaped by virulent racism.The prejudice, Uchida says, shaking his head. Theyd just finished fighting the Japanese. They would say, We are not going to learn anything from a Jap instructor! Or, Hey, Jap, what are you going to teach me? Their ignorance was hard to take.Life wasnt any easier away from the judo mats. Jobs were hard to find; Uchidas time in the Army and his college degree did not lessen the stigma of being Japanese. He eventually got work in an overnight laboratory at a local hospital. In the mid-1950s, he borrowed money to buy a medical lab of his own. Over the years, he bought more, then sold them to a company called Unilab in the late 1980s for $30 million.All the while, he crusaded for judo. It was a way to teach character and discipline so students could make it through tough times. He worked incessantly to move the deeply traditional martial art, with its connection to the Samurai, into the realm of competitive sports. He led the effort to make competition fair by creating weight divisions, and he pushed to have judo sanctioned by the AAU.He helped organize the first collegiate judo championship, held in 1962 at the Air Force Academy. His San Jose State squad won it -- the first of 50 titles the school has earned. (Judo has yet to be recognized by the NCAA, so it remains a club sport on colllege campuses.dddddddddddd Uchida campaigned to make judo an Olympic event. The team he took to Tokyo in 1964 was the first Olympic squad fielded by the United States.It felt like I was the envy of many in the Japanese-American community, he says. Uchida was 44 at the time. Heres a guy whose parents were interned and everything that came with that, and now he is representing the United States as coach? And in Japan of all places. It was something many people took as a sign of progress. ? I have had quite a journey in this sport.Nearly 30 years after Tokyo, Marti Malloy began a journey of her own. She fought on judo mats at a little dojo in Oak Harbor, Washington, where she was born. Oak Harbor is a military town, a ferry ride plus an hours drive from Seattle. Her father, an aircraft technician in the Navy, was often deployed, and Malloy says her mother stuck her in judo to keep her occupied.From the very start, she possessed unusual strength. I could always just move in there and use my muscle, says Malloy, who stands 5-foot-3 and has brown hair that falls to her shoulders. But thats not judo. Judo is also about technique.She won multiple junior national titles and quickly made a name for herself. She left home at 16 and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, where she lived with a family she barely knew so she could be closer to top training. She fought fierce matches against her friend Ronda Rousey, the MMA superstar who grew up in judo and won a bronze medal at the Beijing games in 2008. She worked for a while with a coach who was so merciless that she became anxious and depressed.For a brief time, she quit.That was the low point, she says. The high point was going to San Jose State, and finding Mr. Uchida.He was held in such awe that he seemed impossible to know. He was a task-master who focused on the tough, unglamorous skills of grappling. But he spoke just as much about the importance of good character and about being highly educated. He said that he wanted his judoka to contribute positively to society.What made him this way? Malloy wondered.So I tried to push past the barrier. I would ask about his day, and that opened things up to get to know him better, little by little. Eventually he became more than a coach. He became a friend. I found out things like the fact he wants us to be smart and well educated so nothing happens again like the crap that happened in the 40s. I found out there was more to what he was aiming for than just judo.When he was 92, Uchida flew to the London Olympics and watched Malloy charge into the semifinals. Then, near the end of a close match, she was caught off guard by a Romanian who drove her to the mat for a last-second victory. She still had a chance at bronze, but there were only 90 minutes to put the stunning loss behind her. She doesnt know how she did it, but says part of it was her awareness that Mr. Uchida was watching.In the consolation match, she tried a deceptive move, the Ko-Ichi. It sent Italys Giulia Quintvalles back to the mat. She was the defending Olympic champion. Malloy had her bronze -- only the second medal won by an American woman in Olympic judo.I looked up in the stands and saw Mr. Uchida smiling, Malloy recalls. I didnt want to cry because I was so happy, but my emotion ... They locked eyes, she remembers, and tears streamed down her cheeks.After London, Marti Malloy could have retired. She held not only the bronze medal, but a degree in advertising. Shed been on the deans list. She was 26, when many high-level judo players quit. Training is brutal, injuries are frequent, and the pay isnt great.But she did not stop. Going for the gold in Rio, where she has gotten a first-round draw, is a testament to her coach. I remember him saying, Why would you give up? Of course you are going to try for Rio. You have the ability to go down there and win the gold. You know, I have always believed that.Earlier this summer, the two went off to their monthly dinner at Kubota, a Japanese restaurant not far from downtown San Jose. They took me along. I listened to their easy, light-hearted banter. Yoshihiro Uchida sounded like a proud grandfather chatting with a much-favored granddaughter.They laughed about his diet: sashimi, salad and a glass of scotch. They talked about prospects for American judo. They spoke of the symbolic power of the San Jose State gym, where the judo team trains. The internment processing center is now Yoshihiro Uchida Hall.You did something so good, she said, speaking of all that he has accomplished. Not only for the United States but for the world to see. ... Perseverance.What about Rio? Uchida stopped the conversation for a moment to remind both of us that winning is vitally important, but not everything.Marti is already a champion, he said. The way she carries herself, like a leader, smart and honest, in a way that gets respect. She is a champion human being. 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 ' ' '

BOSTON -- Nothing like a pre-dawn phone call from Red Sox slugger David Ortiz to get you out of bed in the morning. Chandler Jones Jersey .At least thats the idea behind a Boston Public Schools initiative that starts next month, when middle- and high-school students will be able to sign up for wake-up calls from Big Papi.Wake up! Its David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox. Get out of bed and get ready for school. Your future is yours, he says on the calls.The 40-year-old All-Star designated hitter has said hell retire after this season. He leads the majors in slugging percentage, on-base average and extra-base hits this year.Boston schools superintendent Tommy Chang said Monday the goal of the Ortiz calls is to help kids get to school on time and fight absenteeism.Boston Mayor Marty Walsh called it a fun, outside-the-box approach to a chronic problem. Nationwide, the U.S. Department of Education says more than 6 million students -- 13 percent of all school-age Americans -- missed at least three weeks of school in the 2013-14 academic year, the most recent for which figures are available.Red Sox president Sam Kennedy said he hopes the calls, which are being offered free of charge, will help inspire, motivate and encourage children to attend school. The calls will be available in English and several foreign languages, though Ortiz wont be speaking all of them.Bostons school system ran a pilot of the wakeup calls last year, trying them out on two dozen students at the Edward M. Kennedy Academy for Health Careers, a charter high school in the shadow of Fenway Park.Xaquiel Martinez, a 9th-grade student there, acknowledges he was tardy to school nearly every day before getting the wake-up calls, which helped him get out the door on time.With Ortiz wrapping up his final season with the Sox, Changs office says it may tap the New England Patriots for a future call.No word on whether Tom Brady or Rob Gronkowski could be rousing students next.---Follow Bill Kole on Twitter at https://twitter.com/billkole .
