LEVI, Finland -- It took Austrias Marcel Hirscher just two races to get back to where he finished each of the past five seasons -- on top of the mens World Cup overall standings.Hirscher overcame an illness on the eve of the slalom opener on Sunday to lead teammate Michael Matt for an Austrian 1-2 finish.The five-time overall champion finished a huge 1.30 seconds ahead of Matt to clinch his 40th career win. It was the first Austrian 1-2 finish in a World Cup slalom since Hirscher beat Michael Matts older brother, Mario, at the same venue three years ago.Manfred Moelgg of Italy was 1.31 seconds back in third for his first podium finish in nearly three years, while Germanys Felix Neureuther came another 0.10 further behind in fourth.Physically it went very well. I have no pains. Yesterday it was really bad but this morning I knew it would work out, said Hirscher, who suffered from an inflammation of the middle ear.He skipped Saturdays training and decided only in the morning hours before the race to start. He headed back to his hotel for treatment immediately after completing his first run.Hirscher overtook Alexis Pinturault on top of the overall standings. The Frenchman, who beat the Austrian to win the season-opening GS last month, finished 1.87 behind in 11th. Hirscher has 180 points, 56 clear of Pinturault.Hirschers victory also put the Austrian level with Pirmin Zurbriggen on the all-time winners list. Only four skiers have won more races in the 50-year history of the World Cup -- Ingemar Stenmark (86), Hermann Maier (54), Alberto Tomba (50), and Marc Girardelli (46).I felt no pressure at all, Hirscher told The Associated Press. For me personally, I have won already a lot of races and I am done with `I have to win races.Matt, who improved from sixth to second for his first career podium result, said he was more nervous for my first run than for my second as I knew by then that everything was OK. He described being on the podium as an amazing feeling.I made a big step in the summer physically and mentally and the goals were top-10 results and now with the first race podium, its amazing, he said.Marco Schwarz, who trailed Hirscher by just 0.21 after the first run, slid off the course and didnt finish his final run, but another Austrian, Manuel Feller, took fifth.Austrias slalom team lost several big names as Benjamin Raich, Mario Matt and Reinfried Herbst all retired in the past two seasons. Curt Schilling Jersey. But Hirscher said the many young and upcoming talents on the team help him to further improve.Its perfect in training, said Hirscher, who has won 19 slaloms in his career. It wasnt easy for me in the beginning but the young guys really give me motivation. Thats truly super.Hirscher didnt want to give his huge winning margin too much meaning as his main rival from last season, Henrik Kristoffersen, skipped the race.One guy was missing, the fastest from last year. But it was a great race, Hirscher said.Kristoffersen, who won six slaloms last year to claim the discipline title, sat out the race amid a dispute with the Norwegian ski federation over sponsorship rights. The federations rules wont allow Kristoffersen to sign a personal sponsor for his helmet.Hirscher said its pretty bad that ... the fastest slalom skier of the last season isnt competing now and added that he hopes they can find a solution.Hopefully hes back in the next races because I have to see how close I can get to his pace, he said.Moelgg, who tore his Achilles tendon in 2014 and hadnt been on the podium for two years, was pushed into third place by Matt who beat him by 1/100th of a second.He was visibly upset but later conceded hed made a little bit of a mistake in the last part and was happy to be back on the podium.One-hundredth (of a second) is OK, now its OK. After the injury two years ago ... last year was not so easy, he said, adding that his goal was to be among the top five or top seven. Thats my motivation, and I think I can do it.Britains Dave Ryding, who was fourth after the opening run, dropped to sixth for his career-best result. And the winner of the final slalom of last season, Andre Myhrer of Sweden, failed to qualify for the second leg after he skied out of the course halfway through his run.Tough conditions included temperatures of about 18 F (minus 8 C) and clouds hanging low over the Arctic course in Finnish Lapland -- in the northernmost World Cup competition. Several racers complained about their goggles freezing up during their runs.The mens World Cup continues in Lake Louise, Alberta, with a downhill and a super-G on Nov. 26-27. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys AuthenticWholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '

LUXEMBOURG -- Arjen Robben marked his return to international duty after a year sidelined by injuries with a goal as the Netherlands beat Luxembourg 3-1 Sunday in a World Cup qualifier. Rickey Henderson Athletics Jersey .But the Bayern Munich wingers long-awaited return lasted only 45 minutes, with Robben appearing in discomfort late in the first half and not returning after the break. His replacement, Memphis Depay, seized his chance by scoring twice to ensure the Netherlands went second in Group A behind leader France.Daley Blind set up Depays first goal and said he was happy for his Manchester United teammate, who has struggled at Old Trafford.Its great for him, Blind said. I know he is working really hard. He deserved it.Robben opened the scoring with a trademark goal to give the Netherlands a 36th-minute lead, collecting a quick pass from Davy Klaassen, cutting in from the right and shooting low into the far corner with his left foot.Robbens attacking threat was not enough to make up for the defensive frailties that have plagued the Netherlands in the last two years and Luxembourg leveled just before half time.PSV wing back Joshua Brenet, starting his first international for the Netherlands, hauled down Daniel Da Mota as he cut in from the left and referee Anthony Taylor pointed to the spot.This was Joshuas fault, coach Danny Blind said. He has to learn from it.Defender Maxime Chanot calmly stroked the ball to Maarten Stekelenburgs right as the `keeper went to his left for Luxembourgs first goal against the Netherlands since 1963.The second half started without Robben, who said he felt a small cramp just before the interval and the doctor told him he should not take any risks.Its a great shame, Robben said. I wanted to play.Depay, who has fallen out of favor with Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho, combined with Blind to restore the Netherlands lead in the 58th, powerfully heading in his cross from the left. It was the fourth international goal for Depay.He got his fifth by curling a free kick over the Luxembourg wall six minutes from fulltime.France leads Group A by three points after coming from a goal down to beat Sweden 2-1 on Friday. Sweden is level on points with the Netherlands, but third because of an inferior goal difference. Only the top team earns automatic qualification for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.In Group As other match Sunday, Spartak Moscows Ivelin Popov scored after 10 minutes as Bulgaria beat Belarus 1-0 in Sofia. Coco Crisp Jersey . -- Brandon Jennings made the most of his first game with the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night. Joe Morgan Jersey .

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Indianas upset of Michigan State in overtime Saturday raised some eyebrows among college football pundits around the country, but it wasnt a huge stunner for Ohio State players who know the Hoosiers as a tough out the past few years.Indiana (3-1, 1-0 Big Ten) overcame a 14-point Spartans lead in the final 16 minutes Saturday night, and won on a 20-yard field goal in overtime, 24-21. Indiana won its first overtime game in six years and got its second win in 26 tries over a ranked foe.The task this week will be more formidable for the Hoosiers when they travel to Columbus to play No. 2 Ohio State (4-0, 1-0).Last year the Buckeyes just snuck by Indiana 34-27, fumbling the ball four times and racking up 109 penalty yards. In 2014, the Buckeyes didnt manage to pull away until the third quarter in a 42-27 win.Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said Monday the Hoosiers have by far their best team this season.I see an outstanding team, Meyer said. For four years in a row its been a swing-as-hard-as-you-can (game)....Theyve got an excellent coaching staff, you can see some really good things on video tape, and their game Saturday was a great win for that program.Defensive end Sam Hubbard said Indianas victory over the defending Big Ten champs last week just adds to the intensity of Saturdays matchup.They almost beat us last year, so we didnt really expect it to be an easy game at all, Hubbard said, noting that Indiana could have the best offensive line the Buckeyes have faced this year.When I heard about it, I wasnt shocked by any means, said quarterback J.T. Barrett, who became the Ohio State career leader for touchdown passes Saturday. Indiana is not a team to look past because they give us trouble every year.DEFENSE MAKES THE DIFFERENCEA slow start in the Tulsa game notwithstanding, the Buckeyes have clicked early this season and havent run into any major potholes, in contrast to last season when they had trouble playing consistently until near the end. Meyer credits a deep, stifling defense with making the difference.Ohio State had another shut-down defensive performance on Saturday in the 58-0 dismantling of Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights were held to 116 total yards, 33 passing yards and nine first downs. Ohio State is third in the nation in total defense and is the only team not to have allowed a rushing touchdown.Thats just the way the game of football is -- if you have a great defense, things are usually going to get rolling for you at some point, even if you struggle a little bit, Meyer said. And the fact that you have J.T. Barrett running the show, its pretty smooth. Even when he makes a mistake, usually its not an awful one and we can rally right back up. But it starts with defense.WEBER ROLLING ALONGRunning back Mike Weber was named Big Ten freshman of the week after rushing for 144 yards on 14 carries against Rutgers, including a 46-yard breakaway for a touchdown. He also had a 49-year breakaway run. Weber, a redshirt freshman, leads the Big Ten with a 123.8-yards-per-game average. He ranks 11th nationally.LAST WORD ON RUTGERSTwelve Ohio State players caught passes from Barrett Saturday, and eight different players scored touchdowns. Wide receivers Terry McLaurin, Parris Campbell and Johnnie Dixon all caught the first career TD passes....Backup running back Demario McCall ran for 85 yards and a TD on 10 carries late in the game after spelling Weber....Nick Bosa -- Joeys younger brother -- had four tackles and a sack.---Follow Mitch Stacy at http://twitter.com/mitchstacyFor some of his other recent stories: http://bigstory.ap.org/content/mitch-stacy NEW YORK -- For the second consecutive WNBA Finals game, the league acknowledged a late officiating mistake.The WNBA said the officials missed a shot clock violation in the deciding Game 5 Thursday night in which the Los Angeles Sparks beat the Minnesota Lynx 77-76.After reviewing postgame video, we have determined that Nneka Ogwumikes shot with 1:14 remaining in regulation time should not have counted due to a shot-clock violation, and that the referees improperly failed to review the play under the instant replay rules, Renee Brown, WNBA chief of basketball operations and player relations, said in a statement Friday.Ogwumikes jumper with 3.1 seconds left, off the rebound of her blocked shot, won it for the Sparks.The league also admitted a mistake after officials missed an 8-second violation call in Game 4 that occurred late in that contest.Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve was angry in her postgame news conference Thursday night about both missed calls, saying the league needed to do more than just apologize and send a memo.Its really unfortunate that players continually put themselves out there, playing and competing at a really high level. Whether it was the 8-second call in LA or the game today, doesnt matter, OK? The game today, its not fair to the players, Reeve said. Its not enough just to apologize or send out a memo that they got something wrong, OK? These players are so invested and something must be done about the officiating in this league because its not fair to these great players we have.WNBA rules state that in the final two minutes of a game plays are reviewable only immediately. Earlier iin the game, time can elapse and plays can still be reviewed.dddddddddddd. In college basketball, officials are given more time to review calls in the final two minutes.It was reviewable at the time when she shot it, Reeve said. The referees at that point didnt think anything was wrong. They didnt understand it was the end of the clock. They didnt hear the shot clock. When they put the ball in play, the play is no longer reviewable.Arenas switched shot clocks midseason and there were some issues when they were changed about how audible the horn was when it reached zero.This wasnt the first year officiating mistakes happened in playoff games. Last season, in the Western Conference finals, the Lynx were aided by a foul with 1.5 seconds left in a tie game against Phoenix. The league acknowledged the call should never have been made.Its unfortunate were having this discussion, Reeve said. The number of people that have contacted us and said this shot was no good, its unfortunate. I mean, I dont know what happens from there. Maybe they still win. I dont know. Thats why I dont want to take anything away from L.A.Lynx star Maya Moore didnt realize the controversy until asked about it in a sullen losing locker room.OK, that doesnt make me feel any better, Moore said.She said she thought she saw one of the officials signal for a review and was surprised to hear that didnt occur, the details of the final minutes lost in the haze of defeat.Well, it doesnt mean anything now, Moore said. 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 ' ' '

NEW YORK -- Feeling he was close to a deal for Paul Pierce, a thought crossed Billy Kings mind. Jeff Bagwell Astros Jersey . "I asked, What about KG?"" the Nets general manager said. Yes, Brooklyn is also getting Kevin Garnett -- and a real shot at contending for a championship. "I would say ending today its a good day for the organization," King said Friday on a conference call. And its the close of a championship chapter in the Celtics storied history. Bostons blockbuster breakup is complete. Pierce and Garnett are Brooklyn-bound, and its the Nets who are thinking big as they head into their second season in their new home. "Today, the basketball gods smiled on the Nets," team owner Mikhail Prokhorov said in a statement. "With the arrival of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, we have achieved a great balance on our roster between veteran stars and young talents. This team will be dazzling to watch, and tough to compete against." Its a nine-player, three-draft-pick swap agreed to on draft night and centred on the two aging champions who won a title in Boston in 2008. Celtics general manager Danny Ainge eventually agreed to put Garnett in the deal, and Garnett waved his no-trade clause after some lobbying from new Nets coach Jason Kidd and point guard Deron Williams. The Nets also got Jason Terry and D.J. White from Boston, while sending Gerald Wallace, Kris Humphries, MarShon Brooks, Kris Joseph, Keith Bogans and first-round draft picks in 2014, 2016 and 2018 to the rebuilding Celtics. Boston also gets the right to swap first-round picks in 2017. The teams agreed to the deal on June 27 but it couldnt be completed until after next seasons salary cap was set. The Nets plan to introduce their new stars Thursday at Barclays Center. Boston won five straight division titles from 2008-12 before falling back last season, the first following Ray Allens departure to Miami. Then the Celtics let coach Doc Rivers out of his contract after the season by acquiring a first-round pick from the Los Angeles Clippers. This trade signals a new phase for the team that has won an NBA-high 17 championships and got used to being in the hunt again after Garnett arrived in 2007. "Paul and Kevin exemplified everything it means to be a Celtic," Celtics managing partner and CEO Wyc Grousbeck said. "They were instrumental in bringing back Celtic Pride and providing our fans with the franchises first championship in over 20 years in 2008. We wish them nothing but the best in the future." The Nets went 49-33 in their first season in Brooklyn and have spent big in hopes of bettering that in 2013-14. They also signed versatile forward Andrei Kirilenko, re-signed backup big man Andray Blatche and added reserve guard Shaun Livingston. They blew well past the luxury tax line and are facing a bill of $80 million in taxes, but Prokhorov wanted a title within five years of owning the team. A starting five of Garnett, Pierce, Williams, Joe Johnson and Brook Lopez, along with former Sixth Man of the Year Terry, has a chance to compete for one. The window to win is small, two years at the most given the ages of Pierce and Garnett -- though King sees those as incentive more than detriment. "I enjoy the fact that people keep questioning Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce because I know that theyll come out and prove people wrong," King said. The Celtics hadnt won a title since 1986 before they acquired Garnett and Allen in 2007. They joined with Pierce to form the core of a team that won 66 games and a title their first season together, reached the NBA Finals again in 2010, and returned the Celtics to their longtime place atop the league. But Garnett is 37, Pierce will be 36 by opening night, and Ainge realized the Celtics days of competing for titles with this group were finished after a first-round exit, and chose to go in another direction. "We would not have won Banner 17 without Paul and Kevin and they will go down amongst the all-time great players to have ever worn a Celtics uniform," Ainge said. "At the same time we are excited to welcome Gerald, Kris, Keith, MarShon and Kris to the Celtics family. They bring a wealth of talent, experience, depth, and flexibility to our team." The Celtics thanked Garnett and Pierce, who is second on the teams career scoring list, with a full-page ad in Fridays Boston Globe. Wallace was a starter for the Nets last season, and Humphries and Bogans sometimes started. They join a Celtics team led by first-year coach Brad Stevens, the former Butler coach who was hired to replace Rivers. The Nets also will be led by a rookie in Kidd, who was hired shortly after retiring as a player and will see much more talent when he looks down his bench. Garnett is a 15-time All-Star and Pierce a 10-time selection, and both are among the NBAs top-20 career scorers. Even while slowing down a bit as they near the end of their careers, Pierce averaged 18.6 points last season, and Garnett added 14.8 points and 7.8 rebounds while remaining one of the NBAs most tenacious defensive big men. Terry averaged 13.5 points last season, his only one in Boston. Kirilenko agreed to his contract Thursday and was signed Friday. He will make $3.2 million this season and has an option for the second year. The forward opted out of a deal that would have paid him $10 million in Minnesota this season and will play again for former CSKA Moscow boss Prokhorov. "He is a true talent with tremendous versatility," Prokhorov said. "As a fellow countryman, I am especially proud that the best Russian player in the history of the NBA will be wearing a Nets jersey." Carlos Gomez Astros Jersey . Meanwhile, there were huge victories for Sunderland and West Ham over fellow relegation rivals, leaving the battle to avoid the drop up for grabs with the bottom 11 teams separated by just six points. Eden Hazard and Fernando Torres scored second-half goals to seal a fourth straight victory for Chelsea, which climbed above Arsenal and Manchester City in the standings ahead of their games on Monday and Sunday respectively. Scott Feldman Jersey . With Parker having a quiet game for once, Nicolas Batum and Boris Diaw provided the scoring as France won its first major basketball title by beating Lithuania 80-66 on Sunday. It was a victory that ended a decade of frustration for Parker and a talented French generation, which lost the final against Spain two years ago and took bronze in 2005. http://www.houstonastrosshop.com/Evan-Gattis-Jersey/ .

Relief - thats the emotion Warriors coach Andrew McFadden says flooded through him when halfback Shaun Johnson danced his way over the line for a golden-point NRL win against Penrith.The Warriors leapfrog the defeated Panthers to claim eighth place on the ladder after their 20-16 victory at a rain-soaked Mt Smart Stadium on Saturday that finally gave them a win during extra time in the fourth attempt in five matches.Johnson shaped to kick a field goal with just a minute of extra time remaining before shimmying past several Panthers defenders to score next to the posts.Three golden-point losses to the Sharks, Sea Eagles and Raiders in the past four weeks left McFaddens side reeling, and the Australian coach said an extra-time winner was well overdue.He commended Johnsons quick thinking with the clock ticking down.Weve been consistent, weve been competing really hard and weve been in every game weve played in the last two months,, McFadden said.That was a very composed play because (Johnson) knew he wasnt getting a clean shot away and he knew he had tackles up his sleeve.A slow start for both sides was blown open in the 17th minute when Warriors centre David Fusitua went up uncontested to claim a Thomas Leuluai cross-field kick and score.The Auckland-based side dominated the opening 40 minutes with 58 perr cent possession, and grabbed a second try before the break when Ken Maumalo slid into the corner. Mike Scott Jersey. The Panthers and Warriors scored a try apiece in the first 15 minutes of the second half before a pair of Josh Mansour tries for Penrith took the match into extra time.Warriors skipper Ryan Hoffman was glad his side didnt crumble after two earlier failed attempts to snare a golden-point winner.Increased aggression during extra time was key to turning the tables on their past three golden-point defeats.There was no panic there, doing a snapshot that gives the opposition seven tackles and gives them another opportunity, Hoffman said.For the Panthers, it was all pain and little gain.The side drops out of the eight with five matches remaining, but are aided by a relatively simple run-in against teams including the Roosters, Knights and Tigers.I thought our guys clearly didnt have our execution right in the first half but I was really proud of our effort to claw our way back into that game, Penrith coach Anthony Griffin said.We had better momentum and were a lot smarter, applying a lot more pressure than the Warriors, but once it gets to golden point anything can happen. 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 ' ' '

(STATS) -- Eastern Washington senior Cooper Kupp set the NCAA Division I FCS career record for touchdown receptions with a third-quarter score at Washington State Saturday night in Pullman.The 6-foot-2, 215-pound wide receivers third TD catch of the game -- a 7-yard pass from Gabe Gubrud with 10:34 left in the third quarter -- pushed him to 59 in his career and past former New Hampshire great David Ball. The TD gave the No. 14 Eagles a 38-28 lead on the way to a 45-42 upset.It feels awesome to come in first game and do what we did just throughout, Kupp said.Kupp, whos been dominant against Pac-12 competition in his career, also caught a 75-yard touchdown in the second quarter and a 26-yard score earlier in the third quarter. He finished with 12 receptions for 206 yards.The STATS 2015 FCS Offensive Player of the Year also is on pace to also set FCS career records for receptions and receiving yards. DENVER -- Patrick Roys time and tirades on the Colorado Avalanche bench are simply a memory.There was no choice for the team but to turn the page on the Hall of Fame goaltender turned coach who surprisingly stepped away two months ago over disagreements within the organization.In steps Jared Bednar, a career minor-league player whos getting his first NHL chance as a head coach.It hasnt taken Bednar long to earn the respect of the players with his even-keel demeanor and firm belief in a system that focuses on speed, organization, defense and more speed, which seems ideal for a crew that includes Nathan MacKinnon, Matt Duchene and captain Gabriel Landeskog.Were going to play faster, said MacKinnon, the 21-year-old forward who signed a seven-year, $44.1 million deal in the offseason. It will be a faster, quicker game, which is how you win nowadays.Roys departure definitely caught the team off guard. They tied a franchise mark with 52 wins in Roys first season before losing in the first round of the postseason. Really, though, who can forget Roy pushing through a glass partition to get to then-Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau in his debut.The team faltered the last two years, missing the playoffs, and Roy resigned as coach and vice president of hockey operations on Aug. 11. Roy had split control with executive vice president and general manager Joe Sakic, a former teammate.Everybody was surprised, for sure, just with the timing of it, defenseman Tyson Barrie said.Bednar definitely knows his hockey, even if this is his first NHL coaching gig. He led the Lake Erie Monsters, the American Hockey League affiliate of the Columbus Blue Jackets, to the 2016 Calder Cup title. He also guided the South Carolina Stingrays of the ECHL to the 2009 Kelly Cup.Theres a lot of excitement among us guys to have him at the helm, said Joe Colborne, a free agent acquisition who had 19 goals for Calgary last season.Bednar has plenty to work with -- speedy forwards, veteran leadership (Francois Beauchemin, Jarome Iginla), a blue line that includes Erik Johnson and Barrie, along with the talented goalie tandem of Semmyon Varlamov and Calvin Pickard.ddddddddddddMacKinnon appears primed for a big season under Bednar as he entered camp 15 pounds lighter and a whole lot more confident after helping Team North America to a good showing at the World Cup of Hockey. Hes adjusting well to his new coach.He came from the bottom of pro hockey up to the NHL. Thats pretty cool, MacKinnon said.Things to know before Colorado begins the season Oct. 15 by hosting Dallas:BETTER STARTS: Colorado put an emphasis on the preseason. Thats right, the preseason. The Avs have struggled in exhibition games the last two years and its spilled over into the regular season. Theyre trying to guard against that happening again.Our starts have been pretty average-to-bad, said Barrie, who signed a four-year, $22 million deal in the offseason. Thats going to be a huge focus for us and I think the coaches know that.GOALTENDERS: Varlamov will be the starter, but Pickard should receive quite a bit of work, too. Varlamov is looking to bounce back from a season in which he went 27-25-3 with a 2.81 goals-against average.QUICK HEALER: Duchene banged up his shoulder in practice while helping Team Canada to a gold medal at the World Cup of Hockey. He had two goals and two assists for Canada.Its going to linger for a bit, but its feeling good, Duchene told reporters after his return to town.MILE HIGH RETURN: Colborne and some of his new teammates have quickly bonded by attending a Denver Broncos game and a few Colorado Rockies contests.I already feel like Ive been here for a long time on this team, said Colborne, who played college hockey down the road at the University of Denver.JUST A NUMBER: At 39, Iginla feels better than ever. He played in all 82 games last season and reached the 20-goal plateau for a 17th time in his career. This season, hes vowing to be even more physical.Ive always been a power forward with a little bit of finesse, Iginla said. But I dont think I was enough power on the power forward side. 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 ' ' '

Dont pick underdone players. Michael Bourn Braves Jersey .It is one of sports most well-worn cliches but rang true in the AFL grand final.Coaches John Longmire and Luke Beveridge both agonised over who should be in the respective 22 before showing their hand on Thursday night.Beveridge was desperate to get Matt Suckling back into his team, knowing the former Hawthorn defender was the only player at his disposal to have experienced an AFL grand final.Suckling is ordinarily one of the first picked at the Western Bulldogs but missed their preliminary final and had been on restricted duties for the better part of two months.Matty has had a sore Achilles for a fair period of time now and weve had to manage his workloads and training quite differently to the rest of the group, Beveridge explained pre-match, suggesting it was too risky to change the side.Longmire was likewise conflicted but decided not to err on the side of caution.The 2012 premiership coach was forced to make at least one change to the Sydney outfit that so clinically touched up Geelong the previous week because of Aliir Aliirs knee injury.But Longmire, unable to resist the case for recalling both co-captain Jarrad McVeigh and Rising Star winner Callum Mills, eventually settled on two.Youve got to go in with a fit squad ... its quite easy to get caught up in grand final week and go yeah, Ill get through, Swans 2005 premiership skipper Barry Hall said last week.Horse (Longmire) is pretty measured so he wont take a risk if theres any doubt.Longmire insisted before and after the match there wasnt any doubt.They got through fine. As we expected them to, Longmire said.The duo passed fitness tests but their output at the MCG on Saturday suggested they werent necessarily match fit.McVeigh had been sidelined since limping off the SCG with a calf strain during the Swans semi-final win over Adelaide, while Mills was returning from a hamstring injury and without a full game of football under his belt since August 20.Both lacked their usual rebounding run and largely failed to influence the contest.The issue was compounded by injuries to Lance Franklin and Dan Hannebery, with the Swans failing to show the sort of quick and precise ball movement that underpinned their march to the minor premiership.Hindsight is of course 20/20 and the irony is Beveridge gambled on Dale Morris, who played the grand final with a broken back, and rolled the dice in week one of the finals.Beveridge made five changes for the Bulldogs elimination final against West Coast in Perth, where four players returned from injury including Tom Liberatore and Jack Macrae.Liberatore and Macrae had missed the final four rounds of the regular season through injury.I can honestly say I wouldnt have had the courage to pick all four. One or two possibly, but never four ... all performed incredibly well, four-time premiership coach David Parkin wrote in a Fox Sports column at the time. Deion Sanders Braves Jersey . The Browns coaching search remains incomplete. Nick Markakis Jersey . - Connor McDavid scored 53 seconds into overtime as the Erie Otters came from behind to defeat the visiting Guelph Storm 4-3 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action.http://www.bravesapparelsshop.com/jason-grilli-jersey-c-20/ . Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.CHICAGO -- The Chicago Blackhawks brought the Stanley Cup home Tuesday and proceeded to take it on a pub crawl, with scores of ecstatic fans flocking to taverns and restaurants in hopes of catching a glimpse of their beloved players and the sacred trophy awarded to the NHL champion. Many fans, bleary eyed from staying up the night before to watch Game 6, looked to the skies for TV news helicopters that would alert them they were on the right track. Others set themselves up at bars, hoping the rumours from friends or Twitter might turn out to be true. "Weve been packed since 7 this morning." said Brad Tice, general manager of The Pony on Chicagos North Side. "In 2010 (the last time the Blackhawks won the cup) it came here, and players hang out here and live in the neighbourhood, so everyone is hoping it will show up." In suburban Oak Brook, fans descended on a restaurant said to be a favourite spot of Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville. By midafternoon, the cup hadnt shown up at either spot. The trophy that turns into a drinking buddy once it is awarded to the National Hockey League champions had already put in a pretty full day. Though it hadnt made it to the runway of a strip club or the bottom of a swimming pool -- just two of the many places that players have taken it over the years -- it did make the rounds, stopping at two restaurants and the United Center, where the Blackhawks play, and a downtown steakhouse. "Im shaking, that was so cool," said 21-year-old Anne Fernandez after she reached out and touched the cup as Blackhawks President and CEO John McDonough pulled it out of a black SUV in front of Phil Stefanis restaurant and held it aloft as so many players had on the ice in Boston the night before after their series-clinching win over the Bruins. Fernandez showed up after a rumour showed up on Twitter, while others got their tips from friends -- though nobody knew where this intelligence was coming from. "I got an email that said if I wanted to see the cup to be at 437 (the address of the steakhouse) in 15 minutes," said Carrie Williams, a 28-year-oldd magazine editor, who did not know how the emailer got that information. Babe Ruth Jersey. At about 4 a.m., the jet carrying the players and the Cup touched down at OHare International Airport, where they received a water cannon salute from about a dozen fire trucks and police cars, all with their lights flashing. Veteran forward Michal Handzus was the first player to emerge from the aircraft shortly after 4 a.m., hoisting the 35-pound cup above his head with both hands and shaking it several times. Guests, police officers and firemen cheered at the bottom of the stairs. Players, coaches and team officials mingled with the crowd for about 10 minutes before heading for the city to continue the party that began in Chicago shortly after the team stunned Boston by scoring twice in a 17-second span during the final 1:16 of the game. There was a stop at a Harry Carays restaurant in Rosemont -- the same first stop the Blackhawks made after winning the championship in 2010. There were more than 1,000 fans waiting, and players took turns hoisting the cup over their heads to screams of excitement. The Scout bar in the South Loop area of downtown was the next stop, as team members greeted cheering fans outside with high-fives before filing into the bar. "My (5-year-old) son stayed up to watch the game but I told him he could go over there if it was packed and we looked outside and it was packed so we went," said Ekta Joshi after she and her son, Kabir, went over to cheer the players. Because she and her husband know people who work there, she was one of the lucky few to be allowed inside, where they met some players and the coach. "He got a few autographs on his hat and Im sure hes showing it off at school now," Joshi said. After that stop, the cup made it out to the United Center. There were rumours that it was on the move and, in fact, McDonoughs driver at the steakhouse said earlier in the day when he drove off -- without the cup -- he saw in his rearview mirror TV news trucks that obviously thought he had it. ------ Freelance writer Matt Carlson contributed to this report. 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 ' ' '

NEW YORK -- Disillusionment. Rickey Henderson Padres Jersey . Fear. Rage.In a divided America, the political conventions are sure to arouse those sensations among the millions of viewers tuned in. Then in a commercial break, an electric guitar will blare the final lines of the The Star-Spangled Banner over images of a diverse group of U.S. athletes tearing up as they heard their national anthem during 2012 Olympic medal ceremonies.The words flash by on the screen, white on a black background, between the shots of sobbing and beaming champions: FOR 17 DAYS ... WE ARE ALL ... UNITED. The 30-second spot closes with a rising American flag, the graphic for NBCs Rio Games coverage and the date of the opening ceremony.NBC is buying ad time on other networks during both conventions the next two weeks, seeking a receptive audience for a not-so-subtle message.The country is more partisan, seemingly, than its ever been, said John Miller, the chief marketing officer for NBC Olympics. And for 17 days, we say were all united. For 17 days, we all root for Team USA. Weve got to put everything aside for a minute.The ad debuted March 15, the day of crucial primaries in Ohio and Florida, and aired on CNN and Fox News along with NBC networks. It appeared frequently during NBCs coverage of the Olympic trials, but it will again accompany non-sports fare at the conventions.Any place theyre talking about politics, thats the spot were going to run, Miller told The Associated Press last week.With so much bleak news over the past few weeks -- terrorist attacks, shootings and political division -- another NBC ad promotes the message of global unity, with athletes narrating scenes of competitors from different countries embracing.I dont know of anything else in the world, the voiceover goes, that brings people together and empowers people so purely as the Olympics does.The motivation for NBC in these spots isnt just to lure in viewers hoping for a break from the news of the day. Its also to seek to frame the Olympics as a pure, inspiring event amid the troubles swirling around the Rio Games -- from the Zika virus to Brazilian political turmoil, from polluted waters to doping scandals.Miller, once the executive behind NBCs classic must-see TV campaign, was looking to counteract those sorts of concerns before the 2008 Games when he first produced an ad with these themes. Beijing brought its own set of worries, from human rights issues to air pollution.This is the part of the story where Miller mentions Yoko Ono. He went to John Lennons widow to buy the rights to Imagine for a 60-second spot with a message of global unity.NBC tested the commercial with potential viewers, and Miller expected it to do well with an older audience. The way the network sells advertising for the Olympics, what matters is the number of households tuned in more than the demographics. So Miller wouldnt have been too alarmed if the spot captivated older viewers but flopped with younger ones.I specifically made it a little schmaltzy to capture that older audience, he recalled.To his shock, the ad, while popular with all ages, tested best with the 18-to-34-year-old range. As he summed up the explanation those younger viewers would relate: The country had been at war at least half of their memorable lives.That notion of American unity, as well as global unity, is extraordinarily strong and resonates with the young as well as the old, Miller said. But it even resonates more strongly with the young.So the theme became a valuable one for NBC to promote both Summer and Winter Games, a way to connect with younger viewers who will one day make up the main audience under the networks lengthy contract to broadcast the Olympics. Miller acknowledged NBC is probably pushing that refrain even harder this time around.It seems to be more appropriate now than ever, he said.NBC dives deep into its research of Olympic viewership, though its never looked specifically into whether depressing news in the real world makes viewers more likely to tune in. As it happens, the Beijing Games marked the start of an upswing for Olympic ratings in the United States.Jim Bell, the executive producer for NBC Olympics, doesnt have any numbers to prove why exactly viewers tune in, but he does know what he keeps hearing from acquaintances who tell him theyre looking forward to the Rio Games: How they need a break -- whether its from their job, or the news cycle, or their kids. San Diego Padres Hoodie . -- Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Alrdridge were again the go-to duo for the Trail Blazers against the Kings. Andrew Cashner Jersey .

BEREA, Ohio -- Josh Gordons return to the Cleveland Browns practice field was not exactly stressful.Gordon did not take part in any team drills and participated only in the initial individual work, catching passes without defenders.After practice, coach Hue Jackson said Gordon will not play in the preseason game Thursday night against Atlanta. That didnt stop Gordon from vowing he can be the same guy he was in 2013 when he led the NFL in receiving yards while playing 14 games.Im definitely the same guy, he said Monday. Im confident in my abilities. I know what I can do. Just given the opportunity and the right timing, right position and the relying on the rest of the team as much as they rely on me, its a great boost of motivation, and anything is possible for anybody.But I definitely am aware of what I can do, and I think I can build upon that and do even better.Lofty words from a guy who went through his first practice since Dec. 26, 2014, on Monday. On Dec. 27, Gordon missed the final walk-through before the 2014 season finale and was suspended. A few months later, he was suspended for the entire 2015 season for violating the NFLs substance abuse policy.Thats 600 days without practicing, a long time for anyone. And it has many wondering what kind of player Gordon will be, including his teammates.Ill be tuning in just like you guys will, wide receiver Andrew Hawkins said. Josh is an incredible talent. He has incredible ability. I dont know if Id be able to sit oout two years and come back at a high level. Tony Gwynn Padres Jersey. Im not going to count that out of Josh because Im not the freakish athlete like Josh is.Gordon faces a four-game suspension at the start of the 2016 regular season, but the NFL is allowing him to participate in team activities during the ban.Jackson and Art Briles, Gordons college coach at Baylor, both said Gordon had to lose weight. In practice, he looked a little thick around the middle but did not look to be in bad shape, either. Hes listed at 225 pounds.I kind of set my own goal in my head of what I used to play at, Gordon said. But I feel just as strong, just as fast as I felt before, if not stronger, if not faster. So well see how my production is, and well go from there once they evaluate and get some stuff on film. Ill be able to tell how I feel.Gordons biggest challenge is getting back into the physical elements of the game. The daily grind, the hitting, the competition, the physical challenge. Coaches always say that training is not the same as football training. Gordon has been training, but he has been away from the game for almost 20 months.Which is why Jackson wont force anything. He said the team will continue to work its process. Jackson must balance preparing Gordon and getting him in shape with the realization that Gordon will be suspended the first four games. 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 ' ' '

The anticipations been building and its finally time -- Week 1 of the 2016 fantasy football season is here. Our first tip: Relax and dont let the hype of the NFL opener Thursday between the Panthers and the Broncos get you too high or low on your team.With so much waiting, its easy for fantasy players to magnify the results of the first game. Dont overreact -- even if youre ahead or behind significantly in your first matchup -- to one game in 16 slated for opening week. Its not going to decide a win or loss either way and there are many more games to consider on Sunday and Monday.Here are some other key tips to get off to an excellent start in your fantasy league:---STICK WITH STARSYou didnt draft your top players to sit them in the fantasy season opener. Yes, on paper it may look like Cam Newton has a very challenging matchup against the Broncos. Jameis Winston appears to have a better one vs. Atlanta. But Winston has not yet proven he can deliver strong fantasy results, while Newton can perform well against all levels of competition. Especially with a Super Bowl loss to avenge and the potential for Denvers defense to spend a lot of time on the field given Trevor Siemian making his first start at quarterback.You dont bench your standouts based on matchups. Keep that in mind all year.---WATCH AND LEARNThere are still some running back situations that bear watching, like those in Tennessee and Seattle. DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry are both viable flex options for your opener, but it will be interesting to see how Tennessee splits touches against Minnesota. It could be a 60-40 split in favor of Murray with Henry getting goal line looks. For the Seahawks, it appears to be an open competition between preseason sensation Christine Michael and 2015 promising star Thomas Rawls. The battle for touches will shake out against Miami, but both RBs appear to be risky starts because their workloads are very uncertain. Also keep an eye on the Ravens RB picture.---BRIGHT BROWNS?A new era begins for the Browns this week at Philadelphia with Robert Griffin III at quarterback. The offense looked potent in the preseason, and rookie wide receiver Corey Coleman and running back Duke Johnson look like respectable starting options in larger leagues, especially in point-per-reception formats. If the Eagles defense gets overworked, Cleveland could start showing development as a new force in the AFC for fantasy resources.---THE SHOOTOUTThe Raiders travel to New Orleans, where a high-scoring game is expected. The Saints defense looks vulnerable again, and their offense still looks like it can quickly score. For the Raiders, Derek Carr is a Top 10 fantasy quarterback this week, wide receiver Amari Cooper may explode, Michael Crabtree is a strong start and Latavius Murray should run for a TD or two. Start Saints rookie wideout Michael Thomas in larger leagues and Coby Fleener should score in his New Orleans debut. Also, Washington and Pittsburgh may produce a lot of points, so running back DeAngelo Williams and quarterback Kirk Cousins are strong starts.---CHIEF CONCERNIt appears Jamaal Charles will not be available for the season opener against the Chargers. The team does not quite know when he may be back close to his better form. That puts Spencer Ware in the spotlight as the teams lead RB for the opener, and maybe beyond. He rushed for six TDs last year and looked good in the preseason. Start him with confidence, hell make the most of the opportunity.---THEM BOYSEzekiel Elliott will make his pro debut against the Giants, and the Cowboys should lean heavily on the run with rookie Dak Prescott at QB. If you drafted Elliott early, you may reap instant rewards. He has superstar abilities and is in a great situation. Dont even be afraid to trade for him before Sunday. Prescott will get time to throw and will not bog down the offense like other Dallas backups did last year. He will help ensure that Dez Bryant bounces back this year. For the Giants, rookie WR Sterling Shepard could look like a breakout performer in his very first pro game.---HAVE CONFIDENCE AND FUNBe happy with the team you drafted and roll them out with confidence this week. All you can do is set the best possible lineup and then its on the players to execute from there. Dont concern yourself with who your opponent starts, because all you can do is control who you play.Dont overthink your lineup decisions. This is what youve waited for. Stop stressing and enjoy the statistical returns.---This column was provided to The Associated Press by the Fantasy Sports Network, http://FNTSY.com . ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Last weekend, Percy Harvin was enjoying retirement, watching the Buffalo Bills play the New England Patriot on TV with his son from the comfort of his Florida home.On Monday, Harvin expects to be wearing a No. 11 jersey and taking the field in Seattle, attempting to help the injury-depleted Bills end a two-game skid.Yeah, it sounds crazy, Harvin said at his locker following practice Saturday. But, hey, my bags are right here, so it looks like Im going.Harvins going and, according to coach Rex Ryan, hell be playing despite taking part in just four practices since the Bills lured him out of a six-month retirement by signing him on Tuesday . The game will be Harvins first in nearly 13 months after his season in Buffalo was cut short last year because of injuries to his right knee and hip.In saying he expect Harvin to play, Ryan cautioned it will be in a limited role to take into account how much time the 28-year-old has missed.I didnt say wed play him 50 snaps, but I think he can play some, Ryan said. I think he can help us.The Bills (4-4) need whatever help they can get at receiver. Top threat Sammy Watkins will miss at least another two weeks with a left foot injury. No. 2 receiver Robert Woods is playing despite aggravating an injury to his right foot. On the bright side, speedster Marquise Goodwin has been cleared to return since missing one game with a concussion.Theres more good news for the offense, with running back LeSean McCoy expeccted to return after missing last weeks game with a left hamstring injury.ddddddddddddThere are concerns on defense, with Ryan ruling out starting defensive tackle Marcell Dareus (groin) and his backup, Corbin Bryant (shoulder).Dareus was hurt against New England in his latest setback.

PITTSBURGH -- Trailing by two scores in the fourth quarter and time ticking away on Sunday, New York Jets coach Todd Bowles opted to play it safe. Andrew Benintendi Red Sox Jersey . Twice.All it did was cost the Jets a chance to keep the explosive Pittsburgh Steelers within arms reach.Not that Bowles was in the mood to second-guess himself following a 31-13 loss that dropped his team to 1-4. Given a choice, hed kick again. Both times.If it was the same situation, Id probably punt, Bowles said. When you talk hypothetically after you lose a ballgame, it doesnt help anyone. I stand by that decision.And the Jets find themselves standing at the bottom of the AFC East along with the Miami Dolphins. New York was competitive for most of the game against one of the NFLs most dynamic offenses and even led 13-7 late in the second quarter before a secondary missing star cornerback Darrelle Revis cracked .The Steelers roared back to go up 24-13 on a touchdown pass from Ben Roethlisberger to Antonio Brown with 14:55 to go. The Jets faced a fourth-and-1 at their own 29 with just over 13 minutes to go when Ryan Fitzpatrick hit Bilal Powell for an 8-yard gain. Bowles challenged the spot, only to see it upheld on replay.Needing about a foot to extend the drive and keep Roethlisberger and company off the field, New York punted.The Steelers promptly moved deep into Jets territory before a fumble by Roethlisberger was recovered by Sheldon Richardson. The Jets made it to midfield when Fitzpatrick missed Brandon Marshall on third-and-2 at the New York 46 with 7:36 to go. Again, Bowles sent on punter Lachlan Edwards. This time, the Steelers went 79 yards in 12 plays, finishing off the Jets with a 5-yard pass from Roethlisberger to Sammie Coates.There was enough time on the clock, Bowles said. We figured we could get them pinned down there and go three-and-out. Thats what we were thinking.Instead, the Jets find themselves find themselves on a three-game losing streak heading to a Monday night trip to Arizona next week.Fitzpatrick, who turned it over 10 times in the previous two weeks, avoided critical mistakes and completed 25 of 38 passes for 255 yards and a 15-yard TD toss to Marshall. Yet he was also on the sideline watching helplessly while the Steelers went on their clinical clinching drive.The veteran refused to blame Bowles, instead pointing the finger at himself for not connecting with Marshall, an incompletion that set up Bowles cautious call.What was going through my head was, `I cant believe I missed that throw on third down, Fitzpatrick said. That whole scenario we shouldnt have been in because I shouldnt have made that poor throw the down before. I know we all have faith and confidence in coach.Maybe, but a year after going 10-6 and narrowly missing the playoffs, the Jets suddenly find themselves with little room for error.People in the media are going to call us out, are going to ask to bench us, including me, said Marshall, who caught eight passes for 114 yards and the second-quarter score. Its a good positon for us. We have one of the most-talented teams in the league. We can either fold it up or continue to stick to it and work. Plenty of teams have been in this positon and come out better on the other side.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLSteven Wright Jersey .J. -- Marshawn Lynch said Thursday it will be good to get back to football after the Seattle quiet talking running back wrapped up his final mandatory media session of Super Bowl week. Brock Holt Jersey . -- If this was Aaron Gordons final home game at Arizona, and it almost certainly was, then he went out in style. http://www.redsoxapparelsshop.com/jim-rice-jersey-c-14/ . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.

Pakistans rise to No. 1 on the Test rankings seems improbable considering two years ago - in August 2014 - they had been in sixth place.It was a time when Misbah-ul-Haq had found himself surrounded. Up on the Galle Fort was a 40-foot tall Mahela Jaywardene, frozen as he was celebrating a hundred. In front of Misbah was Rangana Herath, making him spontaneously combust if he even thought about such feats.The Pakistan captain ended the tour with a high score of 31 and an average of 16.75. Soon, he lost his biggest match-winner, Saeed Ajmal, because of an illegal bowling action. And Australia, then the world leaders in Tests, were about to visit for a two-match series.Thats when everything started to change. Misbah smashed the then joint-fastest Test century. He wasnt Tuk Tuk anymore. He was tick, tick, boom! Pakistan found a Lionel Messi lookalike, who had magic in his hands instead. They had Younis Khan batting like the crease was his home and bowlers were serving cake. They didnt have a home, but suddenly, it seemed they had everything else.Humbling AustraliaPakistan gave up 10 wickets in an innings only once in two Tests. They had at least two centurions in each of the four innings they batted. They averaged over 80 in the series and scored at 3.5 per over. Poor Australia, they tended to inflict such statistics on their oppositions. It hardly ever works out the other way around.Younis finished his against-the-world set of scoring a ton against every Test nation. Azhar Ali struck twin hundreds in Abu Dhabi. Misbah became the new Viv Richards. Yasir Shah, in his debut series, and Zulfiqar Babar, a 35-year old on his comeback, had the Australian batsmen melting into a puddle.After 20 years, Pakistan finally won a Test series against Australia, whitewashed them 2-0 for good measure and leapt up from No. 6 to 3 on the rankings.Continuing dominance in the UAEBat first, bat big, tag in scoreboard pressure, sit back and enjoy. That has more or less become Pakistan birthright in the United Arab Emirates.In 21 Tests in the country since March 2009, only four times have they gone without one of their batsmen making a hundred. In the first Test of the New Zealand series in November 2014, Younis and Misbah made unbeaten ones. Ahmed Shehzad contributed 176. While setting up a declaration, Mohammad Hafeez made 101 in 130 balls in the second innings. A target of 480 in the final innings was well beyond the reach of Brendon McCullums team - They played the perfect Test, he said.In the third Test in Sharjah, Pakistan and New Zealand found themselves batting when chances of a fatal injury on a cricket field had never looked more real. Phillip Hughes had been hit by a bouncer in Sydney and died in hospital, and it affected players from both teams deeply. McCullum and Kane Williamson left their emotions in the dressing room, hit centuries and batted Pakistan out of the game.Redemption in BangladeshPakistan have the worst fitness levels, railed the PCB chief. Bangladesh beat them 3-0 in the ODIs and 1-0 in the T20Is. The returning Ajmal had lost his sting even if he had straightened his bowling action. The ineffectiveness seeped into Misbahs Test side as well; they were denied by a world record-opening stand between Tamim Iqbal and Imrul Kayes in Khulna.Pakistan went into the second Test with frustration mounting back home. There were calls to overhaul the entire team and swap the captain with a rubber duckie. Misbah made only 9 in the first innings, but around him, Azhar hit 226, Younis smashed 148 and Asad Shafiq 107. The team was learning to get by without their captain.Yasir then bowled a legbreak that made the world turn. Once he got the first breakthrough, Bangladesh were wrapped up in under 50 overs. Its not a face-saving win, Misbah said later. It was a team playing to its devastating potential. Taming Sri LankaHerath took 23 wickets at home when Pakistan visited in 2014. He was given only two on the next trip, in 2015, with a bowling average of 109. Pakistan had taken a hammer to Sri Lankas spearhead, knocked him blunt and then out. He did not play in the last Test of the series. A Test that decided who would win the trophy. A Test in which Pakistan would play so well records leapt out of the book and fell prostrate at their feet.Misbah and his batsmen put careful thought into each stroke they played; soft hands against spin and clear intent while attacking. Every effort was made to reach the pitch of the ball and upset an out-of-form Heraths lengths. The plan was clear, the execution perfect. Meanwhile, Yasir ended the series with 24 scalps.And, if that wasnt enough, Pakistan amassed 382 for 3 to pull off their highest successful chase ever with Younis and Shan Masood making light of a final-day pitch and the same scoreboard pressure that they use with such great skill. It was a dream win, Misbah said after the game. It was a dream win for the fans too, who too often had to watch their team spontaneously collapse at the mere mention of the word chase.Troubling England at homeThe first Test in Abu Dhabi followed the other trend common in Test matches in the UAE - both teams put up gigantic first-innings scores but just as the probability of a draw rises and interest in the match drops, the narrative changes on its head. Pakistan were bowled out for 173 in their second innings, debutant Adil Rashid buried memories of 0 for 163 with 5 for 64 and handed England a target of 99 in fading light. The hosts just about held on.But Alastair Cook, having played Englands longest-ever innings in Test cricket, of 836 minutes, had to contend with losing the series as his men failed to show the same kind of fight in Sharjah. Hafeez struck 151 to wrench back the lead England took and the spinners ripped the heart out of the English middle order. A come-from-behind win added to their rise as a force in Test cricket.Troubling England awayFour Tests in England, where Pakistans spinners were not supposed to be effective, and the conditions and bowlers would test their batsmen who had dined out on placid pitches.Instead, Yasir picked up 10 wickets at Lords. Misbahs first innings on English soil amounted to 114 and 10 push-ups. Everyone was taken aback by Shafiqs defensive technique and they were amused by Younis trampoline footwork until he smacked a double-hundred at The Oval to help Pakistan level the series.Misbah walked away with his first Man-of-the-Series award. Only a year prior, he had to be convinced not to retire. But in the heart of London he said he wanted to go on.Pakistan face West Indies in the UAE next and travel to New Zealand in November and Australia soonafter for a couple of tough tours. So there may not be much time to rest on their laurels. Not least because of the questions over where the team would go if Misbah and Younis exit stage left. CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Bengals defense is on notice, and they know it.Bengals defensive coordinator Paul Guenther said Tuesdays practice was one of the best of the year. While part of that might be attributed to a refreshed team coming off a bye, the larger part is likely due to the changes Guenther has vowed to make after a 3-4-1 start.Players who arent performing, even core veteran players, either figure to lose significant playing time or will ride the bench for a while as the Bengals try to correct whats gone wrong.We just have to get back to doing [things] the way we do it, the way Im used to seeing it all the time. Its not just going to show up on Sundays, he said Tuesday. Weve got to do it throughout the week. Weve got to be in good tackling position, weve got to be staying on top of coverage, being good communicators in the coverage and stopping the run and rushing the passer. Those are the things that if we can do it -- and I think we can do it -- with whatever guys we have out there, for the next eight weeks Im going to give them everything Ive got.Guenther has grown tired of the missed tackles, penalties and general lack of production that was evident when the Bengals gave up 546 yards in a tie with the Redskins before the bye. While replacing some of the underperforming players isnt guaranteed to fix things, he said things cant go on as they have.Frustrated with the performance, Guenther went back and watched every defensive snap of the season and noted issues that needed to be corrected. Then he made notes on each individual player and their issues as well. Players were shown film of those issues during position meetings, with some having to meet with Guenther individually.I watched every individual player and I wrote some notes and I met with those guys about some things they need to clean up and hopefully we can get it done, Guenther said.ddddddddddddessage received.Changes are going to come, safety George Iloka said Tuesday. I just see it as were not playing as well as a defense as we need to right now. They always say the definition of a crazy man is someone who does the same thing on and on and expects to get different results. So, of course, they have to switch things up, whether its personnel, play calling, plays, packages, whatever it may be. Theyre going to try to tweak it to get different results as they should because we havent as a collective whole gotten it done.One of those changes is re-signing defensive end Wallace Gilberry, whom the Bengals parted ways with in the offseason. Gilberry, who was briefly with the Lions this season, will play against the Giants on Monday night in certain packages.The other changes, which havent been announced yet, are swapping personnel, which could mean more snaps for younger defenders like cornerbacks Josh Shaw and Darqueze Dennard, defensive end Will Clarke and rookie linebacker Nick Vigil.We have a lot of guys that have been here a long time, that have been fixtures in our system for a long time, Guenther said during the bye. But, like I told them, its a production business, so even though youve been kind of a guy thats been here and I think theres going to be a younger player that I think can do it better at this point, whether it be for 15 more snaps, Ive got to look at that because some of the guys that have been here, that have been fixtures here, for some reason or another, whether its age or whatever it is, they are not playing at a high level and Ive got to figure out where I can inject some other guys that can do it better, or at least try to. 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 ' ' '

PITTSBURGH -- Steelers tight end Ladarius Green is finally starting to roll with his new team after seven months sidelined with injury.Now comes a three week wait to determine whether Pittsburgh will put him on the 53-man roster.Green signed a four-year, $20 million contract as an unrestricted free agent in March, a rare splurge on the open market for the typically conservative Steelers, who lost veteran Heath Miller to retirement.But Green has been sidelined for seven months. He didnt take part in spring organized team activities or mini-camp because of offseason ankle surgery and opened training camp and the regular season on the physically unable to perform list. Green, who remains on the PUP list, practiced fully with the team for the first time on Tuesday and again on Wednesday.I still feel a little stiff and a little rusty, but its just good to be out there, Green said. I was excited and a little bit nervous, but theyve been helping and supporting me the whole time. It was good to show them what I can do.Doctors repaired a tendon and inserted plates into Greens ankle during the offseason surgery. Green previously said jumping on the ankle was one of the final hurdles needed to return, but reported no problems through two days of practice.Offensive coordinator Todd Haley was more impressed with Greens mental preparation.Just from the first couple practices, the mental side is not an issue, but we have to get him in pads and see where he is, Haley said. From this point, its positive and showed a lot about his character and staying sharp mentally.It wasnt hard for Green, who plans to stick around Pittsburgh during the teams bye and put in extra work.When youre sitting on the sideline for that long, you dont have a choice, but to be mentally sharp, Green said.Green spent four seasons in San Diego and, in 2015, set single-season career highs in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns behind All-Pro Antonio Gates. Greens unique speed gives the Steelers a downfield weapon that can create matchup nightmares for opposing defenses. His 6-foot-6 frame could make him just as effective in the red zone.Hes a big-bodied guy that can run, Haley said. He can take short passes and turn them into big plays. When you have a big target to throw to, that knows how to get open, that adds one more weapon to the mix that we can use to create matchups in the pass game.The Steelers could activate Green for their next game Nov. 6 at Baltimore or the following two weeks against Dallas or Cleveland.For now, Green is just excited to be on the field again.Its always different running routes by yourself on the side to when you actually get out there on the field with the team, Green said. It was good to be out there.Game notes Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who worked out with Green for the first time on Tuesday, was a limited participant again during Wednesdays practice. Roethlisberger threw passes during individual work nine days after surgery on his left knee. ... Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward participated in individual drills Wednesday and also ran to test his injured hamstring.---AP NFL websites: http://pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Only one day into the Stage 2 Playoffs, weve seen one team dominate its opposition, and another team blow a shocking 3-1 series lead. Lets take a look at the events that transpired.Optic Gaming lost. Now what?Ill be honest. When I suggested in my preview for the Stage 2 Playoffs that Luminosity Gaming would play Optic Gaming tough, I thought it would take a game or two off the Green Wall. I certainly did not anticipate it knocking off Optic Gaming 4-3 on Thursday, rallying back from a 3-1 deficit to earn one of the most surprising victories in recent memory.To its credit, Luminosity certainly earned this victory. After falling behind in the series 3-1, everything looked to be falling in favor of Optic Gaming. With a Round 5 Hardpoint match next, it seemed likely that the dominant team in the Call of Duty World League would cruise through its best game mode. But Luminosity clutched up, gelling as a team at the best possible moment to win the next three rounds. Renato Saints Forza in particular was incredible, first coming up with a tremendous six kill streak to end the Round 5 Hardpoint, then putting together a 38/22 KD (kill/death ratio) in Round 6 Uplink, stymieing the vaunted Optic offense with an array of skilled kills and brilliant positioning.Hes one of the best of all-time, said teammate Jeremy Studyy Astacio. Hes the one that brought the momentum back for our team. He was definitely the MVP of the series.Using that surge from Saints, Luminosity rallied together as a team and put away Optic in the final Search and Destroy, with each member putting together a positive KD (kill/death ratio) in the deciding round.Despite the impossible odds, Luminosity climbed back from the chambers of defeat, securing a spot in the semifinals while simultaneously turning the Stage 2 Playoffs on its head..ddddddddddddBut if you thought it would be satisfied, think again.We are staying on top of our game and not getting complacent with just one series win, said Michael SpaceLy Schmale. Its time to win this event, but we are going to take it one match at a time.Itll face the winner of Fridays Dream Team vs. FaZe Clan match to determine who will earn the right to play in the Stage 2 finals.Envious of JohnEnVyUs was certainly expected to win its opening matchup against H2K on Thursday. But its dominance against the No. 8 seed quickly turned into a statement game kind of performance, as it earned a convincing 4-0 victory. While most of EnVyUs played well, it was Johnathon John Perez that stood out the most.Pick a round, any round: John made a huge difference. Round 1 Hardpoint: a 29/16 KD. Six of the 10 points in a Round 2 Uplink. An unbelievable play in which he was able to 1 vs. 4 H2K to claim a Game 6 win in Round 3 Search and Destroy. Multiple strategic maneuvers to help his team earn a 5-1 Round 4 Capture the Flag win.In short, John did it all. However, despite posting a combined 76/63 series KD, the EnVyUs slayer seemed only caught up in his mistakes, though few and far between.I could definitely do a little better. There was just a couple of moments where I gave up a kill and we lost the hill because of it, or S&D rounds where I gave up a call and they pushed through, admitted John postgame.Mistakes or not, the EnVyUs team that took the field in the quarterfinals is a formidable foe, certainly one capable of claiming the Stage 2 crown. The real test will come Saturday, as EnVyUs will take on the winner of the Rise Nation vs. Cloud9 match taking place on Friday. 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 ' ' '
