years after dropping that bombshell,

Call the cops. Call the FBI. Call the CIA. Tell them somebody kidnapped all the aces, because if youre trying to trade for one at this years trade deadline, hey, good luck.Over and over, we hear the same grumbling from one club official after another. If this isnt the worst deadline starting-pitching market ever, its definitely in the argument.If youre a team that desperately needs a starter, one NL executive said this week, its a tough year to try to find one who can make a difference.Oh, there are names out there, another NL exec said. I mean, you can call the White Sox about Chris Sale and they wouldnt hang up. You can call the Rays about Chris Archer. They wouldnt hang up. I just dont feel like theyre really as available as the kind of pitchers who were available in the past. Those guys in the past, they were getting moved. I dont see that this year.If Sale and Archer dont get traded this week, and with Drew Pomeranz already off the board, its likely that, if you check the major-league ERA leaders, NOBODY in the top 40 (among qualifying starters) will get dealt between now and the deadline. And the only qualifying starters with ERAs under 4.00 who are showing up in any legitimate rumors at the moment are Jeremy Hellickson (3.65), Ervin Santana (3.93) and Matt Shoemaker (3.99).Now compare that with the big-name starters who filled up the transactions column at previous deadlines:2015 - David Price, Cole Hamels, Johnny Cueto, Mike Leake, Scott Kazmir 2014 - Price, Jon Lester, Jake Peavy, John Lackey, Jeff Samardzija 2013 - Peavy, Matt Garza, Ian Kennedy 2012 - Zack Greinke, Ryan Dempster, Francisco Liriano 2011 - Ubaldo Jimenez, Doug Fister 2010 - Cliff Lee, Roy Oswalt, Dan Haren 2009 - Lee, Peavy 2008 - CC Sabathia, Rich HardenHeard of those guys? Great. Now lets put all those names in better perspective. Over the last eight deadlines, there were nine trades that involved former Cy Young Award winners. And the only year in that span that didnt include a deal involving at least one former Cy Young was 2011.But even 2011 featured the trade of Jimenez, a top-three Cy Young finisher the year before who was still a big-name guy at the time, one exec said. So to find the last deadline as bereft of impact starters as this one, youd have to journey all the way back to 2007, when Kyle Lohse, Matt Morris and Joel Pineiro were the only veteran starters who changed zip codes.At least this year there is more depth to the market, with Hellickson, Santana, Edinson Volquez, Rich Hill, Hector Santiago, Andrew Cashner, Ivan Nova and the Tampa Bay buffet line of Matt Moore, Jake Odorizzi and Drew Smyly all realistically available. But that still doesnt compare with the guys last year, an AL exec said.So how did it come to this? What forces have converged to produce this shaky a market? Lets take a look.1. A lousy free-agent classThe trade market, one of the execs quoted earlier said, is a direct reflection of the free-agent market. And this free-agent market isnt good.With Stephen Strasburg?signed through 2023 in Washington now, the best free-agent starters aged 32 or younger this winter are likely to be Hellickson, Nova, Cashner, Brett Anderson, Jon Niese and Clay Buchholz. All employable, but nobody youd confuse with Price, Greinke or Cueto.Hill, Volquez and possibly Kazmir (who has an opt-out) are attractive in the 33-and-up group. But the only current starters, at any age, who rank in the top 40 in ERA and are definitely heading for free agency are Fister and 43-year-old Bartolo Colon. So thats severely limiting the group of rent-a-pitchers you can trade for right now.If you look at past deadlines, how many guys were rentals? another exec wondered. Im betting its a lot.That would be correct. Of the five biggest deals involving starters last July, the only trade for a pitcher under control for multiple years was Texas deal for Hamels.2. Not enough sellersGet ready for that annual chorus of folks screaming that its time to move back the deadline, because too many teams find themselves in limbo in the last week of July. Its a tradition right up there with Mark Rzepczynski getting traded about 12 minutes before every deadline.There are still so many teams who are still in it, an AL exec said. With that second wild card, you have more teams than ever who think theyre still in contention. And this is one of those years. There just arent enough sellers.Heading into Tuesday night, there were 18 teams within six games of a playoff spot, versus only 12 that were clearly out of any sort of race. Then again, even that wasnt so clear.A year ago on July 26, Texas and Toronto were both more than six games back in both their divisions and the wild card. And we know how their seasons turned out. So even teams like Kansas City (8 1/2 out in the division, seven in the wild card) arent ready to sell the way clubs used to in the pre-wild card game era.This might not be the best explanation for this particular market. But its a factor.3. Bad teams have bad pitchersOK, we exaggerate. That isnt totally true. But if you peruse the list of teams at least 10 games under .500, theyre not exactly overflowing with starters to move -- either because theyre too young or too mediocre.A lot of these bad teams, you knew going in [to the season], they were going to be bad, an executive from one contender said. Theyre rebuilding, so theyd already sold off a lot of their guys.Hard to argue. The Phillies traded Hamels LAST July. The Braves moved Alex Wood at last years deadline and Shelby Miller over the winter. The Reds did their unloading, of Cueto and Leake, last year this time. Etc., etc.Those teams have already moved pretty much everything they had, another exec said. So theyre basically tapped out.4. R.I.P. the old-fashioned money dumpWhat used to drive the trades of legends and Cy Youngs at the deadline? Money, of course. What else? Life was so much simpler then -- for the rich teams. You had your haves. You had your have-nots. And they each knew their roles so well.But we dont live on that planet now. In a $9 billion industry with massive revenue-sharing, every team can afford to sign at least a handful of its best young players. And almost no club arrives at July obsessed with just clearing dollar signs off its books.Its not the same, one exec said. No team in the game has NO money. Some teams have less money than others. But no team has no money. It used to be that the teams with no money knew they had to move guys at the deadline. That basically doesnt exist anymore.To find the last legitimate midseason money dump of an ace, youd probably have to ride the time machine all the way back to 2008 and 2009, when the Indians sold off two Cy Youngs (CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee) at back-to-back deadlines. Thats a long, long time ago.The death of the good (or bad) old-fashioned money dump was a great thing for the game. It just wasnt a great thing for the late-July editions of Rumor Central. And the lack of top-of-the-rotation forces available here in July 2016 is pretty much all the proof you need. Ryan Schraeder Jersey .J.

The Vikings announced Thursday that Priefer will be one of seven holdovers from the previous staff, along with offensive line coach Jeff Davidson, wide receivers coach George Stewart and others. Norv Turner will mark his 30th year of coaching in the NFL as the offensive co-ordinator, as widely reported for weeks, and George Edwards will be the defensive co-ordinator. Is Tiger Riewoldt on the trade table?Now that the home-and-away season is finished, stand by for a flurry of player trade speculation. And much of it will involve Richmond, a club at its lowest ebb for many years - so much so that Tigers legend Kevin Bartlett this week tipped a bottom-four finish for them next season.Highly-rated Gold Coast midfielder Dion Prestia announced on Wednesday that he wanted to be traded and the Tigers were his preferred club, which was some good news for long-suffering Richmond fans. But there is one big hurdle to be cleared before Prestia dons the yellow and black.The Suns want a very good player in return for Prestia - not draft picks, of which they have a poultice. Suns officials first inquired about Tigers captain Trent Cotchin as a possible swap and, when they were told Cotchin was completely off limits, then asked about full-forward Jack Riewoldt.The answer they received was not quite as emphatic as the one they got about Cotchin.Which has given rise to growing speculation that the enigmatic spearhead, who was controversially left out of the players leadership group, might become Tiger trade bait in the coming month.Perhaps catching a whiff of this, an Essendon supporter - posting on a Bombers fan forum - claimed on Wednesday that he had seen Dons list manager Adrian Dodoro having a meeting with Riewoldt at a suburban café.As we say, stand by for a flurry of speculation, rumour and innuendo, some of which will have some basis in fact; others of which will be arrant nonsense.Lions gain could be Hawks lossIf Hawthorn footy operations boss Chris Fagan is appointed Brisbanes new coach - and hed be posted up there in a flash if the AFL had its way - the wailing from Hawks HQ will be heard all the way to the MCG.For Fagan, you see, is considered by many at Hawk-land to be the glue that holds the whole show together.Not just a great footy brain and a cool head in a crisis, the 55-year-old is also a calming influence for the Hawks combustible coach Alastair Clarkson - and someone who knows how to keep Clarksons sometimes rampant ego in check.Of course, no-one would ever decry any aspect of Clarksons performance as the clubs four-time premiership coach. The clubs position of pre-eminence in the AFL certainly wouldnt have happened without him.But Fagan is just about the best behind-the-scenes fixer, second-in-command, man manger and match-day deputy there is in the game.Which is why one Hawthorn insider said this week, when news emerged that Fagan had emerged as a frontrunner for the vacant Brisbane job: Clarko will be apoplectic, and (chief executive) Stuart Fox absolutely beside himself ....Fagan, a Tasmanian who has had stints in the footy departments at Melbourne, Tassie Mariners, North Hobart and Sandy Bay, is among a group of current AFL assistants (including Scott Burns, Robert Harvey and Adam Kingsley) in line for the Lions job vacated when Justin Leppitsch was sacked on Monday.The AFL will ensure the right people are put in place at Brisbane, just as it did with the hapless Melbourne three years ago, by overseeing the appointment of the coach and other key staffers. Two of the leagues top men, Mark Evans and Travis Auld, have been tasked with getting the Lions back on their feet and competitive again, on and off the field.Leppitsch sacking a disgraceThe fallout from Leppitschs axing continues to be felt, with former premiership defender Chris Johnson describing the boards recent conduct in sacking two of the clubs most decorated stars as coaches - first Michael Voss and now Leppitsch - as a disgrace.Johnson, who played in Brisbanes 2001, 2002 and 2003 flag-winning teams, said the club was squarely to blame for its current position languishing near the bottom of the ladder.Its a disgrace (sacking Leppitsch), Johnson told ESPN. It goes right back to how they treated Michael (Voss), a captain Id go to war with any day of the week. They got that wrong and now theyve done it again to Justin (Leppitsch).It is a cut-throat industry, I know that, but I wish they had both been given a little more time to work the list that will be at some stage a very good contender.Johnson said he feared the club was fraying in a similar way to Fitzroy in its final days 20 years ago. But he said the Lions playing stocks, which feature plenty of talented young draftees, meant they were in a much better position to turn around their fortunes.Whoever they appoint as coach will be very lucky, Johnson said. The club has a wealth of kids who look promising and can be the building blocks to something special.Roy boys still feel betrayed by Fitzroys demiseIt is 20 years - almost to the day - since Fitzroy played its final AFL match: a 86-point drubbing against Fremantle at Subiaco Oval on September 1, 1996.Chris Johnson recalled this week how he was overcome with emotion during one of his final training sessions ahead of that sad farewell game in Perth.The club did everything they could to give me the best opportunity to achieve the best outcomes as an athlete, but also as a person, Johnson told ESPN.Without the clubs guidance, I could have taken the path of crime and the sort of stuff that happens in Westmeadows and Broadmeadows where I grew up.It hit me like a sledgehammer at that training and I became quite emotional.Years of underperforming and mounting debt saw the 113-year-old Lions merge with the equally troubled Brisbane Bears to create a new entity, the Brisbane Lions.Johnson, one of eight Fitzroy players to relocate to Brisbane, says he feels sadness and betrayal when he reflects on his old clubs demise.Weve seen two franchise teams - Gold Coast and GWS - as well as Port Adelaide and Fremantle brought into the competition since then, Johnson said.?They (the AFL) bring in four other teams and kill one of the teams thats probably got the longest history in the game.It was probably an easy opption for the AFL in those days to just clear the debt of Fitzroy instead of relocating the whole football club somewhere else with the amalgamation with Brisbane.dddddddddddd.It will never be Fitzroy and it will never be the Brisbane Bears. Theres still a fair bit of history there but the AFL just ripped the heart out of them.Johnson sought a return to Melbourne from Brisbane when homesickness and a lack of senior opportunities took their toll in the 1998 season. But, after meeting with a number of Victorian-based teams, Johnson remained at the Lions after club official Scott Clayton removed the youngsters name from the trade table.The sliding doors moment allowed Johnson to be a member of the clubs historic three premierships from 2001.Its incredible how it turned out. It allowed me to be a part of one of the better teams the league has seen in a long, long time, he said.We had a couple of dark years finishing on the bottom. Winning those premierships did make it all that sweeter knowing how much the club, players and supporters endured.Hird a forgotten figure James Hird continues to work in London for sports consultancy group, Gemba, while making occasional forays back to Melbourne where his wife Tania and four children live.As Essendon set about welcoming back all their banned players for season 2017, and the drug saga which enveloped the club over the past three seasons fades slowly into the background, Hird remains footballs forgotten figure.The former coach, who received a 12-month ban for his part in the Bombers peptides scandal and later resigned his post, has sought to escape the media spotlight, as much for his familys sake as anything, by living and working overseas.His three boys have all turned their backs on Australian football - despite showing promising signs as juniors - and have taken up soccer, playing for South Melbourne.His eldest daughter is a highly accomplished tennis player.Yet Hird, an Essendon favourite son who was ranked as the clubs third-greatest player, remains in a strange state of limbo, shunned by the game that helped make his name - but, conversely, showing no signs of ever wanting anything to do with the code, as long as it is administered by the same people who forced his ignominious exit.Young gun doesnt regret swift exitFormer West Coast midfielder Tom Swift, who sacked football long before it had a chance to sack him, doesnt regret retiring prematurely to fully immerse himself in his tertiary studies.The 26-year-old sensationally quit the game four years ago, at the end of 2012, so he could study medicine.Four years after dropping that bombshell, Swift - who played 34 games in four years and was on the verge of establishing himself in the Eagles midfield - spoke about that momentous decision.I didnt want to be 30 years old being spat out the end of an AFL system without really having direction as to where I wanted to go, Swift, who is now living in Melbourne, told ESPN.I got to that fork in the road at the age of 22.His body hadnt failed him, nor had he lost his passion for the game.?He just felt the time was right to pursue his studies in the hope of becoming a doctor.From a personal development perspective I felt as though I sucked everything out of football, he said. Football gave me a platform to catapult the rest of my professional career.I was quite realistic that I was never going to be a 300-game Brownlow medallist, which sat fine with me.Swifts decision to turn his back on the fame and fortune of the AFL has led him to new ventures he never envisaged for himself. And they have nothing to do with medicine.The 26-year-old recently made the pilgrimage from Perth to Melbourne where he is an investment bank analyst with Citi Group, a position he has held since the start of the year.I had a few false starts in different areas. I never made too many steadfast plans. I was just floating along, taking opportunities as they came, he said.I was tracking along with a commerce/finance degree while I was playing football and that just progressed into this current opportunity.Its a challenging job and intellectually very stimulating, which was something I was looking for post-football.Swift, who went at pick No.20 in the 2008 draft, says the day he confronted then-Eagles coach John Worsfold about pursuing his academic dream was the most difficult conversation hes had.Telling people who had dedicated so much time and resources into my development was undoubtedly the hardest thing Ive had to do, he said.It was never a loss of passion or a loss of love for the game, it was more just pursuing other opportunities.As last years grand finalists embark on another finals campaign, the two-time Claremont premiership player doesnt regret his decision to leave footy prematurely.I definitely dont have any regrets. I miss it (football) every day. It was four or five of the best years of my life.Players socially aware of gong First-time members of the All-Australian squad learnt of their career-defining accolade via social media, rather than a formal announcement by their respective clubs or the AFL.ESPN has been told some debutants to the preliminary 40-man squad, which was unveiled on Monday, were made aware of their achievement via Twitter, which some felt downplayed the significance of the award.As many as 24 players could earn national honours for the first time, including ESPN columnist Josh Jenkins, Richmond ball magnet Dustin Martin and much-loved Melbourne ruckman, Max Gawn.Adelaide is crowing about its talent depth after it had a league-high six players nominated, further enhancing its depth after it had the most representatives in the AFLPAs under-22 squad with seven. Essendon and Brisbane were the only clubs to not have a player nominated.

Im interested to see comparative figures for players used and new caps introduced by Eddie Jones and Guy Noves? Jack White, EnglandEddie Jones and Guy Noves became the national coaches of England and France respectively after the 2015 Rugby World Cup. England have won all nine of their Tests under Jones. France have won three of their seven Tests since Noves took over.Eddie Jones has used 36 players in his nine matches at the helm. Of these, eight have featured in all nine games. Only seven new players have been capped by England since the start of Joness reign.By contrast, Guy Novès has fielded 47 players with only five appearing in every game. Twenty of his players have been new caps. Mens Saucony Jazz Original Retro Sneakers Blue Gray .

The candidates -- all previously announced in their own countries -- are: Almaty, Kazakhstan; Beijing; Krakow, Poland; Lviv, Ukraine; Oslo, Norway; and Stockholm. AUSTIN, Texas -- With the promise of blue skies and some sizzling pop from Taylor Swift, the U.S. Grand Prix is back after all those worries about its demise.Theres even a gripping title chase on the track, too.The future of the race at the Circuit of the Americas was in question for months after the 2015 version was swamped by torrential rains that chased away crowds and nearly cost Formula One the entire weekend. The weather cleared just long enough for Lewis Hamilton to win in a wild finish and claim his third championship.Within days, race promoters warned they had taken a devastating financial hit and there were fears that the lone F1 race in the U.S. would move elsewhere.Yet here it is, and F1 is ready to ready to run in America for a fifth consecutive year, an important milestone for the series long-term survival in a nation where NASCAR remains king to motorsports fans.The race is on, said former Formula One champion Mario Andretti. This event is established and thats very important, and very good.After last years struggles saw fans slogging through ankle-deep mud, race organizers knew they needed some punch year to bring them back. The U.S. Grand Prix has seen declining attendance every year since its debut and saw a chunk of fans leeched away by the 2015 debut of the Mexican Grand Prix, which runs the week after the Austin race.Circuit of the Americas President Bobby Epstein, who admits the race was in great jeopardy in early 2016, reached for a pop star and got one of biggest when Swift signed on for a Saturday night show at the track after qualifying. A three-day general admission ticket gains entry to the racing, the Swift concert and a Sunday night post-race concert with Usher and The Roots.Its a move Epstein hopes will boost race weekend attendance, and be a window into Formula One for a new generation of fans who may not know much about racing. Last year, Elton John played the Sunday night after the race. If fans of Swift, Usher and The Roots decide to watch the race, everyone wins, Epstein said.Its a formula that will be closely watched by Formula Ones new ownership group, U.S.-based Liberty Media, which announced last month it would buy the series for $4.4 billion .What I hope to do with this is make an investment in the future of Formula One and bring out and audiience that has never experienced an F1 event, which is more than a race, Epstein said.dddddddddddd With Taylor Swift, it crosses into another, younger demographic. We think there will be 30,000-40,000 people who might not otherwise have come.A Swift spokeswoman declined comment.Epstein also threw in a weather guarantee for race weekend. Reserve seat tickets get a 105 percent refund if more than two inches of rain fall on race weekend. Forecasts predict rain Thursday and clear skies once practice starts Friday and through the weekend.On the track, Nico Rosberg has pushed Hamilton -- his Mercedes teammate and rival -- to the brink of desperation with a 33-point lead heading into the final four races. Hamilton won season titles in 2014 and 2015 but now faces a must-win scenario if he hopes to catch Rosberg over the final month of 2016.Hamilton wiped out a big deficit earlier in the season but Rosberg has been on a roll with four victories in the last five races. Hamilton has been exceptional in Austin, winning three times, including the last two when he passed Rosberg late both times.Ill be holding nothing back out there. First up, were back in the States, which is like a second home race for me these days. I love the country, the culture, the people and the track, Hamilton said.Hamilton has appeared to struggle with the prospect of losing the title this year. He was criticized for playing around with Snapchat on his phone during the official drivers news conference in Japan two weeks ago, then protested what he considered disrespectful media coverage by not speaking with reporters at the Mercedes briefing after qualifying.Rosberg, who cracked under the pressure of chasing Hamilton the previous two seasons, has been cool all year. He dominated the early part of the season and roared out of a slump after Hamilton surged to catch him.A year ago in Austin, Rosberg infamously threw a podium cap in Hamiltons face after Hamilton clinched the season title with the victory on the rain-slicked course.Last year this race obviously didnt work out so great for me, so I m looking forward to getting back out there and doing my best to get it right this time, Rosberg said.

NEW YORK -- Milwaukee right-hander Phil Bickford, the 18th overall pick in baseballs 2015 amateur draft, has been suspended for the first 50 games of next season following a second positive test for a drug of abuse under the sports minor league drug program.Bickford, 21, is on the roster of Milwaukees Class A Carolina Mudcats of the Carolina League. He signed with the San Francisco for a $2,333,800 bonus and was traded at this years Aug. 1 deadline to the Brewers along with catcher Andrew Susac for left-hander Will Smith.Bickford was 7-7 with a 2.93 ERA in 22 starts and one relief appearance for three Class A teams this year, striking out 135 in 120 innings. He pitched in the All-Star Futures Game in San Diego.In addition, Toronto right-hander Pedro Loficial was suspended for 72 games following a positive test for metabolites of Stanozolol and Miami outfielder Casey Soltis was banned 50 games following a second positive test for a drug of abuse.Loficial, 21, was 1-0 with a 1.35 ERA in three relief appearances and 6 2/3 innings for the Dominican Summer League Blue Jays.The 21-year-old Soltis, a fifth-round pick in 2014, hit .190 this year in 52 games at Class A Greensboro of the South-Atlantic League.Major League Baseball announced the discipline Friday.

LOUIS -- Lance Lynn was one of the more enthusiastic participants as the St. The UL International Crown played to a tight conclusion in a team format Sunday at the Merit Club in Gurnee, Illinois. With golfs return to the Olympic Games on the near horizon, the United States one-point victory over South Korea showed what will be lacking in Rio de Janeiro.Sure, golfers will be representing their country in Brazil as they did at the International Crown, which features eight four-woman teams playing three days of four-ball matches with five teams making it to a final day of singles. But it will be 72 holes of individual stroke play for men and women in South America, a format that, while common and understandable to casual fans, will lack the elements that energize competitors and spectators alike when it is team against team.I think for the Olympics its kind of all new to us, so whereas youre representing Team USA youre playing as individuals, Gerina Piller, who was part of the American victory and will compete in Rio, told reporters in Illinois. Its kind of hard to tell how thats going to be. I know that were probably going to be hanging out a lot together, and Im excited to just be part of Team USA, not just golf.Piller, Stacy Lewis and Lexi Thompson, the U.S. Olympic women golfers, were joined by Cristie Kerr at the International Crown, staging a scale-model comeback of the historic final-day rally they were part of at the 2015 Solheim Cup, when America made up a record deficit to defeat Europe.Through three days at the Merit Club, England was the surprise leader with nine points followed by South Korea (8), with the U.S. (7), Chinese Taipei (7) and Japan (4) completing the qualifiers for the last day. Just having an opportunity to win on Sunday was progress for the Americans compared to the inaugural International Crown in 2014 when they failed to advance out of pool play -- particularly after being shut out on Day 1 last week.We had zero points the first day, and we still ended up with the most, Lewis said of the 13-12 triumph over South Korea. Its just a testament to [my teammates] and their will to want to win this thing.Lewis set the mood for the Americans in singles, defeating Japans Mika Miyazato 3 and 2. Piller, Lewis partner in better-ball, then beat Yani Tseng of Chinese Taipei 4 and 3. After play was suspended for an hour because of a thunderstorm, Kerrs 3-and-2 victory over Englands Mel Reid secured the Crown title. Then Thompson lost 2-and-1 to So Yeon Ryu of Korea in a match that didnt affect the outcome.The victory could provide some confidence for the Americans, not only for the three who will compete in Rio but for all of them in this weeks Ricoh Womens British Open at Woburn Golf Club.dddddddddddd. U.S. players have won only two of 21 LPGA events in 2016 -- Thompson at the Honda LPGA Thailand and Brittany Lang at the U.S. Womens Open -- as the globalization of the womens game has been front and center.Lewis described the team victory as particularly satisfying in the context of constant scrutiny of why arent the Americans playing well, why arent they winning? The result could buoy her game as the 11-time career LPGA winner tries to break a two-year drought. Lewis was in a similar position after the 2015 Solheim Cup, when pairings with Piller seemed to awaken her game.Similarly, Kerr was a good influence paired with Thompson at the Merit Club. One of the best putters in womens golf, Kerr, 38, read putts for her partner 17 years her junior. Thompsons putting, the element that can hold her back, was torrid for a couple of days beside Kerr. In her singles match, Thompson missed two short putts on the front nine against Ryu, providing an opening for the talented Korean.How quickly things can change in the womens game showed in the makeup of the International Crown field compared to 2014. Defending champion Spain and Sweden didnt qualify -- the teams are determined by the combined Rolex Rankings of the top four players from each country -- and were replaced by China and England.Had England been able to hold on the lead after three days, it would have been a remarkable upset, particularly given that it narrowly lost a second-day four-ball match when Reid had to take on two opponents because partner Charley Hull was ill and unable to play. Thats the kind of twist that can occur when the format isnt that found week to week on tour.The same could be said of the drama in the playoff to determine the fifth team to make it the final day. Japans Ayaka Watanabe rolled in a 30-foot eagle putt on the first playoff hole to eliminate China and Thailand, Ariya Jutanugarn of Thailand lipping out a 15-footer that would have extended the playoff.After two stagings in the United States in 2018 the International Crown will be played at Jack Nicklaus Golf Club in Incheon, South Korea, site of the heavily attended 2015 Presidents Cup. For a country crazy about womens golf, whose players have made such an impact on the game in the last two decades, it will be a very big deal. As a home-field advantage, it will like Ohio State in the Shoe or Clemson in Death Valley. Flags will wave. Roars will reverberate.And it certainly wont be mistaken for just another tournament.

In more than two decades as a professional golfer, Denmarks Soren Kjeldsen has never felt anything like it.Four victories on the European Tour have been career highlights, along with three top-10 finishes in the majors.But forming a special bond with countryman Thorbjorn Olesen at Kingston Heath en route to claiming a first-ever World Cup trophy for Denmark was a whole new experience.The Danes saw off a series of challenges on Sunday, closing with a six-under 66 in the best-ball format for a four-shot victory over crack American pairing Rickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker, Chinas Wu Ashun and Li Haotong and Frenchmen Victor Dubuisson and Romain Langasque.When youve got a guy like this (Olesen) on the back nine on Sunday you feel like you want to die for the guy, said the 41-year-old Kjeldsen.Its different and thats been very interesting to feel that.I get the sense why teams get so together when they play well and Ive never really experienced that before this week.Kjeldsen and Olesen broke the World Cup wide open with a scintillating 12-under 60 in the other round of best-ball competition on Friday and were never headed in the closing two days.The Danes only shaky moment on Sunday came when they both bogeyed the par-five eighth hole.Not long afterwards, China had narrowed their lead to a single shot.But six birdies from the Danes on the back nine calmed any nerves as they finished at 20-under 268.Me and Soren have been great this week with our mental strength - its been very, very good, said the 26-year-old Olesen, whose big-hitting, attacking style provided the perfect counterpoint to Kjeldsens more measured game.Just keeping calm and playing our game and weve both been playing very well.I wasnt too nervous on the back nine, I thought wed have to make some birdies at some point and they came at the right time.Australians Marc Leishman and Adam Scott saved their best for last, shooting a 65 on Sunday to finish in a tie for ninth at 11 under.Even daring to dream wed birdie the whole back nine it wasnt going to be enough, said Scott, who had paired with Jason Day to win the previous edition of the World Cup at Royal Melbourne in 2013.We needed a faster start.All 28 two-man teams shot two under or better on the final day, with the best round of 10-under 62 coming from world No.9 Alex Noren and fellow Swede David Lingmerth.It lifted Sweden to outright fifth on 15-under 273, a shot ahead of Italians Francesco Molinari and Matteo Manassero and Japans Hideki Matsuyama and Ryo Ishikawa.

Thousands of fans at Mosaic Stadium will be cozying up to each other in an effort to stay warm in chilly temperatures and block the Prairie wind that locals say can knock your socks off. Michael Raffl Jersey . The mixed zone is not a place to make friends. LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- The 10th-ranked Louisville Cardinals insist theyre preparing for No. 2 Florida State like any other opponent. That doesnt mean theyre downplaying the importance of their biggest test to date.Louisville (2-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) hosts the Seminoles (2-0, 0-0) on Saturday in one of the programs biggest games. More challenges remain for both schools -- including games against defending ACC champion and preseason favorite No. 5 Clemson -- but the winner of this nationally televised showdown can take a major step in the Atlantic Division.We knew that if we were going to make a run in this conference or get to the goal that we want, we had to find a way to beat them, Louisville coach Bobby Petrino said. We are looking forward to the matchup.Adding more intrigue are two dynamic quarterbacks who have shown they can dominate games.Louisville dual-threat sophomore Lamar Jackson has shown he can win with his arm and legs with 1,015 yards and 13 touchdowns (seven passing) in the nations top offense (754 yards per game). Hes coming off an ACC-record 610-yard offensive performance at Syracuse that included a highlight-reel leap over a defender for a TD along with 72-yard scores running and passing.FSU running back Dalvin Cook saw Jacksons skills in high school in Florida and said, He got better as a passer. Louisville did a great job developing him as a passer.Florida States offense is just as explosive (509 yards) and features redshirt freshman Deondre Francois, who has passed for 681 yards and five TDs. Francois 419 yards passing and two scores helped the Seminoles erase a 28-6 first quarter deficit with 33 unanswered points that beat then-No. 11 Mississippi 45-34 on Labor Day.Neither marquee games nor comebacks are new for FSU, especially in recent meetings against Louisville. The Seminoles have beaten the Cardinals with second-half rallies the past two years, and another competitive meeting seems likely on Saturday with a lot at stake for both teams.We have to bring our A game to play, FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said. (This will) be another great test and challenge early in our season. ... Were looking forward to the challenge in going up there.----Some other things to watch as Florida State visits Louisvillle:PROTECT AND SUPPORT: Jacksons running has overshadowed performances by other Louisville rushers who figure to contribute in multiple ways against FSU.dddddddddddd Brandon Radcliff had a career-best 156 yards rushing at Syracuse with a 48-yard TD run on 10 carries, while Jeremy Smith and L.J. Scott have turned swing passes out of the backfield into TDs. Not only do they provide additional targets for Jackson, they can also block. Theres going to be more of us involved in the pass protection game, Radcliff said, but thats nothing new for us.ELIMINATE BIG PLAYS: Florida State has already allowed 11 pass plays of 20 yards or more. Safety Derwin James is out for an extended period after having surgery to repair a torn meniscus. Senior Nate Andrews, who missed the first two games due to a calf injury, is likely to return this week and would move into James spot. Sophomore corners Tavarus McFadden and Marcus Lewis are expected to get challenged early.RACKING UP SACKS: Louisvilles pass rush has started strong with four sacks each in the first two games. Seven Cardinals have at least half a sack with junior linebacker James Hearns 2.5 leading the way. Louisville is tied for ninth nationally.SPECIAL DIVIDENDS: Florida States special teams have exceeded expectations early. Freshman kicker Ricky Aguayo has made all seven field goal attempts while punter Logan Tyler leads the ACC at 46.8 yards per punt. The return game has also been solid with Jesus Wilson returning a punt 89 yards last week. It was FSUs first punt return TD since 2012.ALI TRIBUTE: The Cardinals will wear special red chrome helmets featuring butterfly stickers honoring late heavyweight champ and Louisville native Muhammad Ali, who died in June at age 74. A 30-foot painting of the same design will be displayed in the northwest corner of the end zone, and several presentations are planned. Alis wife Lonnie and son Asaad will attend the game.----Follow Gary B.

New Zealands quest for a third straight World Rugby Sevens Series tournament triumph was ended on Saturday as they fell 14-7 to South Africa in a the quarter-finals in Las Vegas. Seabelo Senatla scored two first-half tries to give South Africa a 14-0 lead at the interval.Lewis Ormond reduced the deficit with a try for New Zealand in the second half, but they were unable to find another. South Africa, winners on home soil in Cape Town this season and three-time winners of the Las Vegas crown, will now take on Australia, who defeated Argentina 26-12 at Sam Boyd Stadium.The win over the Pumas came after a 36-7 pool triumph over England, in which Wallabies fly-half Quade Cooper scored his first Sevens try for Australia. Quade Cooper scores his first try in the World Sevens Series with a trademark step and offload. New Zealand, who came into the fifth stop in the 10-tournament series following wins in Wellington and Sydney, saw their hopes start to unravel with a shock 22-0 loss to Kenya in their final pool match on Saturday.Getting one over on the big boys is exciting for us, Kenyas Collins Injera said, after the upset gave them a perfect pool record.But there was heartache in store as the United States delighted their home fans with a 26-14 quarter-final win over the Kenyans.It was important for me and the team that we came out and we made a statement in front of our home crowd, said US coach Mike Friday. Quade Cooper (L) of Australia fights off Phil Burgess of England during the Las Vegas Sevens Tries from Danny Barrett and Perry Baker put the hosts ahead early.Kenya answered with tries from Injera and Billy Odhiambo to knot the score at 14-14 at the break, but Martin Iosefo and Zack Test delivered second-half tries to secure the victory for the United States.We thoroughly deserved that victory, Friday said. Weve only got 10 fit players and theyre hanging in there and they are working hard for one another.The US earned a semi-final clash with powerful Fiji, who overwhelmed Japan 43-7 in a dominant performance that featured seven tries - two of them from Jasa Veremalua.Japan had booked their first Cup quarter-final in almost a year with a 26-19 win over Scotland.But they were out-classed by Fiji, who opened the defence of their series title with a win in Dubai and are the defending Las Vegas champions.Watch the Las Vegas Sevens on Sky Sports 5 HD at 6.20pm on Sunday.

ed the starting lineup last week alongside Daniels afte

Erstellt 05.04.2018 09:44 von MJL456 05.04.2018 09:44 In der Kategorie Allgemein.

MINNEAPOLIS -- At the end of November, Derrick Rose brought his New York Knicks to Target Center, the building Tom Thibodeau now calls home with the Minnesota Timberwolves.Adversaries that night, Thibodeau and Rose spent five years together in Chicago grinding out victories and trying to restore the Bulls as Eastern Conference powers. They had dinners together, talked basketball together and bonded through the ups and downs of Roses MVP award and his knee injuries.So when Rose glanced at the standings and saw Thibodeaus Timberwolves at a lowly 5-13, the point guard knew his former coach, one of the most intense personalities in the NBA, probably wasnt taking it well.Hes probably driving himself crazy, Rose said. A lot of late nights. His staff is probably having a lot of late nights, too. But it all comes with just trying to win. Hes a winner at heart. He wants to win every game. Thats the crazy thing about him. Some games youre going to lose, but hes probably up late nights and driving himself crazy a little bit.It has only gotten worse for the Wolves (6-18) since then, with only the Dallas Mavericks having won fewer games. Heading into a game against the Bulls on Tuesday night, Thibodeaus first game in Chicago since he was fired by the Bulls in an acrimonious split in 2015, he is searching for answers and a way to connect with his new team.Its been a stunning start to Thibodeaus first season in Minnesota after leading the Bulls to the playoffs in all five of his seasons there. During those years, they were never under .500 after the first two weeks of the season, except for in 2013-14 when they started 9-16. They rebounded to finish 48-34 that season.Rose is right. Thibodeau and his staff get to the office early in the morning and often dont leave until well into the night. Its not uncommon for staffers to sleep at the teams practice facility so they can devote more time to film study and game planning.Theres no shortcut to this, Thibodeau said earlier this season. You have to go through it. Its important to maintain high standards. It starts with practice and preparation.Owner Glen Taylor chose Thibodeau over a long line of suitors last summer in hopes that his demanding style would expedite the growth process for a promising young roster and end a 12-year playoff drought.But the Wolves have been slow to catch on to his defensive teachings, ranking 29th out of 30 teams in the league in defensive efficiency.After a 27-point home loss to Detroit on Friday, he said he was very concerned that his team was not responding to his message.Im going to keep coming. I dont go away, he vowed. Im going to look at everything, re-examine. Somethings being missed. Its got to change.Thibodeau has been noticeably less demonstrative on the sideline over the last two weeks than he was early in the season, but the Wolves still tighten up when things start to go wrong, as they did in a 25-4 fourth quarter run by the Warriors on Sunday night.I studied before I took the job so I knew what I was getting into, Thibodeau said. Youre looking at it and I knew we dont have experience. Part of the learning part is the trial and error. We have to go through it. But I also have to make sure were making progress and moving forward. Thats part of my job.Offense hasnt been the issue so far for the Wolves, who are 10th in the league in offensive efficiency. Karl-Anthony Towns, Andrew Wiggins and Zach LaVine are the first trio of 21-year-olds averaging at least 20 points a game on the same team in NBA history.But Towns, the reigning rookie of the year, has looked disinterested on defense, often getting beaten back down the floor in transition for easy layups. Wiggins has been up and down on the perimeter defensively and sixth-year point guard Ricky Rubio, the teams only real veteran getting significant playing time, has been unable to adapt to Thibodeaus systems.Its not about (Thibodeau). Its about us, LaVine said after the Pistons loss. Were the ones on the court. He puts in the effort. Were not executing.The Bulls hired Fred Hoiberg to replace Thibodeau, a more player-friendly coach that has lightened the atmosphere in Chicago. But they missed the playoffs in his first season and former Bulls star Joakim Noah said in November that You dont realize what you have with (Thibodeau) until hes not around. They are 13-10 and in fifth place in the East this season.It doesnt happen overnight, Thibodeau said. You have to work at it. Theres going to be some good days, some bad days. Thats all part of it. But everyone putting everything they have into each and every day, thats the big thing, so you can make progress, so you can improve, so you can get better, so you can win. LeRaven Clark Jersey . Oaklands loss to Seattle clinched the ALs best record for the Red Sox with one day to spare in the regular season. "I think everybody was kind of watching," catcher David Ross said. "Demp (Ryan Dempster) came out before he went to the bullpen and was just yelling that they lost. Denzelle Good Jersey . According to a report from the Vancouver Province, the Lions are expected to replace former DC Rich Stubler with defensive backs coach Mark Washington. http://www.authenticfootballshopcolts.com/authentic-john-simon-jersey.html . General manager Jarmo Kekalainen told Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch on Friday that he wants to see Gaboriks contributions go beyond the scoresheet before considering a long-term deal for the soon-to-be unrestricted free agent. Darius Butler Jersey . Down by seven with 90 seconds left in regulation, thats where they looked comfortable. Jeremy Vujnovich Jersey . Canada is now down to its 22-player limit, although but players wont be registered until Christmas Day. Changes could still be made as a result of a suspension or injury. GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The toughest test yet of the season looms on Sunday for the Green Bay Packers league-best run defense.No team has moved the ball better on the ground than the Dallas Cowboys so far this season.Mike Daniels and the Packers defensive front against a Cowboys offensive line that paves openings for rookie tailback Ezekiel Elliott .Strength against strength. The Packers hold opponents to 42.8 yards rushing per game. The Cowboys rush for 155.2 yards per game.Its the starting point each and every week for both football teams, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. So itll be an excellent matchup.Elliott is only the third rookie in NFL history, after Eric Dickerson and Mike Anderson, to run for at least 130 yards in three straight games. Mobile quarterback Dak Prescott has three rushing touchdowns.This is a good week for the Packers defensive front to be reinforced.Lineman Mike Pennel is eligible to rejoin the active roster this weekend after being suspended the first four games by the NFL for violating the leagues substance abuse policy. Pennel was a key backup last season, especially effective against the run.His impending return would mean that Green Bay would have its full complement of linemen again. Tackle Letroy Guion rejoined the starting lineup last week alongside Daniels after missing a game with a knee injury.Kenny Clark, the teams first-round draft pick, has also played well for a rookie. Hybrid linebacker-lineman Datone Jones has helped fill the void up front.Now Jones may be able to focus more on pass-rushing duties. Either way, Green Bays deep group of outside linebackers, led by Clay Matthews and Nick Perry, has extended the wall against the run to the edges.Were all on the same page. Were clicking, Perry said after practice Wednesday. This is our opportunity to be the best ... to be aggressive and to compete on all downs.Cowboys coach Jason Garrett has taken notice. The Packers, he said, play well against the run regardless of whether Green Bay is in its base 3-4 defense, or if a fifth defensive back is on the field in what would normally be passing situations.Garrett also likes how his ooffense has improved running the ball no matter the defense.ddddddddddddThere are certainly a lot of areas where we have to get better, Garrett said, but were doing a good job coming off the ball, getting into blocks and finding places for runners to run. The runners are running well.Ellliott, a 6-foot, 225-pound rookie, will certainly be tough to bring down. But keep in mind that the Packers have already held Vikings running back Adrian Peterson to 19 yards on 12 carries in Week 2 before Peterson got hurt.But facing a mobile quarterback such as Prescott presents the Packers with a new challenge this season. McCarthy said handling the Cowboys play-action game will be important.Obviously theyre stacked in their numbers in the run game. So maybe well have to throw it a little bit more, Prescott said in a conference call. But thats a great defense that theyve got over there. Were excited for the challenge.QUOTABLEYou catch the ball, you throw it a little more accurately and, you know, dont throw it away as much. Maybe I should start taking some more sacks. No, you know what, Ive got to be more accurate and I will. Weve got to make the most of the opportunities on 50-50 balls and the balls we should catch and complete. -- QB Aaron Rodgers, when asked about his uncharacteristically-low 56.1 percent completion rate through four games, which is 31st in the NFL.INJURY REPORTWR Randall Cobb was limited in practice with a neck injury after taking a hard hit late in last weeks 23-16 win over the Giants. ... RB Eddie Lacy (left ankle) and CB Damarious Randall (groin) were also limited. ... Backup RB James Starks was held out with a knee injury.

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Trey Burch-Manning scored 24 points and grabbed 11 rebounds and South Dakota held off a late charge by Drake to earn a 79-74 win in the season opener Friday night.Matt Mooney had 21 points for the Coyotes and Tyler Flack added 12 points and 10 rebounds.Reed Timmer had 17 points to lead Drake, and his 3-pointer with 1:10 left got the Bulldogs within one, 75-74, but Mooney collected a steal in the final minute and knocked down a trey of his own to put South Dakota up, 78-74 with 19 seconds left.C.J. Rivers and Graham Woodward each had 10 points for the Bulldogs.Drake outshot the Coyotes from the field, hitting 47.3 percent (26 of 55), but South Dakota more than made up the difference with volume, launching 65 shots and connecting on 30 (46.2 percent).

Daniels fired his team ahead after a Stanislas free kick struck the post but fell fortunately at the feet of the Bournemouth defender.The home side dominated the game from the first whistle but found themselves level on 33 minutes when Hull (2-1-5) strucck against the run of play.dddddddddddd Steve Cook gave the ball away cheaply to Ryan Mason, who found the back of the net with a deflected effort.However, another set piece from Stanislas caused panic in the Hull box before Cook rose to head home and give his side the lead for the second time in the game after 41 minutes.Phelan might be regretting accepting his new job on a full-time basis after watching his side get completely outplayed on the south coast. Hull have yielded 17 of their 20 league goals in the last four contests.

NASHVILLE -- The Nashville Predators signed defenceman Roman Josi to a seven-year, $28 million contract Monday, securing the other piece of their top defensive line. "I think last year we saw the growth in Roman almost like no other younger player weve had, probably the best comparison I could come up with is Shea Weber and Ryan Suter," general manager David Poile said. "The irony of that of course is Roman fit in very nice into Ryans position last year." Josi replaced Suter and was teamed with Weber, whose 14-year, $110 million offer sheet was matched by Nashville last July. Poile said signing Josi was a top priority for a player who was a restricted free agent. "Just turning 23 last week, I think the potential is certainly there for Roman to be one of the best defencemen in the National Hockey League," Poile said. "Obviously, signing him to seven years ensures that we will have our top defence pairing intact for any number of years with he and our captain Shea Weber. I think the foundation continues to get stronger here with in the last year." Since November 2011, the Predators have signed goaltender Pekka Rinne, Weber and now Josi to long-term contracts. Forward Patric Hornqvist signed a five-year deal for $21.2 million in April. Josis was Nashvilles third draft selection in 2008 at 38th overall in the second round. He had 18 points in 48 games for the Predators this season, topping what he did as a rookie in 2011-12. He ranked 19th in the NHL in total minutes played and wound up playing 23 1/2 minutes a game, a jump of more than 5 minutes. He has 34 points in 100 regular-season games. The defenceman also led Switzerland to a silver medal at the world championships -- that nations first medal in 60 years. Josi also was the first Swiss named Most Valuable Player, best defenceman and a tournament All-Star. "His growth was tremendous, and that carried over to the international stage," Poile said.

Eric Berry Jersey .C. -- Calgarys Kevin Koe did it the hard way again. Sabbir Rahman started to punch the air every time he struck a six from the time he hit his fourth, during his record-breaking 122 against Barisal Bulls on Sunday. He described the celebration as a ritual that helps him stay focused.While it might seem unusual, it probably helps Sabbir. But closer to the truth is probably the fact that Sabbir was playing his favourite format. He said that he knows that a big innings is always around the corner when he is playing in T20s.T20 is my game, Sabbir said. I got into the senior side in 2014 through T20s, and then also into the Test team. I believe it is my format, and I will make a big score, either today or tomorrow. But I am sure someone will break my 61-ball 122.Shahriar Nafees, who made 63 for Barisal earlier in the game, said that Sabbirs spectacular innings made him mull whether they could have made more than 192. He said that Sabbirs wicket made the difference with Rajshahi unable to score the remaining 34 runs in the last four overs.He is an outstanding talent, an asset for Bangladesh and has been doing well for the country. He is very fit,, powerful and a big-hitter.dddddddddddd When he was batting, I thought we would have needed 220-230 runs on the board. Sabbir was clearing the boundary quite easily. It is one of the best innings I have seen in this country. But we believed that it is important to win the game regardless of the margin. It wasnt that easy to bat on that wicket unless you are set.Despite his innings that beat Chris Gayles 116 - the previous highest individual score in the BPL - Sabbir said that winning the game would have made him happier. He said that the batsmen who couldnt score the nine runs in the last six balls should have taken a different approach rather than trying to go for big hits.We should have won both close games. I dont know what our batsmen are thinking in the last over, he said. I think we have to be stronger mentally. We could have won the previous game by taking singles rather than going for sixes. I think nine runs off the last six balls was an easy equation.

AFL chief Gillon McLachlan has not ruled out introducing a mid-season trading period and other changes to promote competitiveness of all clubs.McLachlan says a working party focusing on strategies to make sure clubs could remain competitive throughout a season is considering several issues.They include what is the best bye structure, and also the next round of collective bargaining agreement negotiations which include discussions about list management and player movement rules. Artemi Panarin Jersey . Catch all the action on TSN2 at 11pm et/8pm pt.

Two nights after the Scott-Eriksson incident in Buffa

With No. 5 LSU set to face Wisconsin on Saturday at legendary Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, theres one time-honored tradition that Tigers coach Les Miles would rather not see.Thats the Lambeau Leap.After some LSU players told reporters on Monday that they plan to do the post-touchdown celebration of leaping into the front row of the end zone stands, Miles made it clear that any players who do will be hitchhiking the 1,100-plus-mile journey home.I promise you that if anyone jumps for the Lambeau Leap, theyll end up with their thumb out to see if they can get a ride home, Miles said during Wednesdays SEC media teleconference. Its college football, and well play it that way, and I think our guys understand. Well do it right.A celebration like that would warrant a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty, as NCAA Rule 9, Section 2 prohibits any delayed, excessive, prolonged or choreographed act by which a player (or players) attempts to focus attention upon himself (or themselves).The rule also prohibits players going into the stands to interact with spectators, or bowing at the waist after a good play.Senior cornerback and starting punt returner?TreDavious White?said earlier this week that he will perform the Lambeau Leap, despite knowing that the?consequences would be bad.Im pretty much just open to whatever punishment thats going to come my way Monday, White told reporters. Its going to be bad, but I feel like, its just a dream of mine. Whatever Coach Miles has in store, Im pretty sure its going to be some bad things. Im ready to do it. Its my last year. I want to make some memorable moments. Justin Braun Jersey . Parker had 26 points and eight assists and San Antonio beat Toronto 112-99 Monday night. "We won that game because of Tony Parkers aggressiveness," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "His juice; his aggression all night long. Jannik Hansen Jersey .

Kerry, Two nights after the Scott-Eriksson incident in Buffalo, the Bruins returned home to play San Jose. In that game, Zdeno Chara put a check on Tommy Wingels that clearly targeted his head. Chris Tierney Jersey . Kyle Denbrook, a soccer player from Saint Marys University, took the CIS male athlete of the week honour. Stanley, a fourth-year business administration student from Charlottetown, scored both goals in a 2-0 win over Dalhousie on Friday and tallied again in a 1-0 win over Saint Marys on Sunday. Joe Pavelski Jersey . The 26-year-old Ireland striker, who has four goals this season, has signed a three-and-a-half year contract with his new club. Former South Africa opening batsman Alviro Petersen has denied ever accepting a bribe or contriving to fix matches but admitted to playing along with those involved in the match-fixing scandal in the domestic T20 tournament. Petersen was charged on Saturday by Cricket South Africa with six breaches of the anti-corruption code. In a statement through his lawyer Robin Twaddle, Petersen confirmed that he rejected a plea bargain because he regards the charges as heavy-handed, and would welcome a tribunal instead. He also claimed to know of at least one other player who has not been charged by CSA.In the statement, Twaddle wrote that Petersen was surprised when he learned of charges being drawn up against him at the end of July because the cricketer had been co-operating with the investigation. Alviro acknowledges and admits that he played along with other persons involved in the scandal so as not to alert them to the fact that an investigation was underway, Twaddle writes. Alviro was in constant contact with the investigative team from the time he reported his knowledge of the scandal until Bodi was charged and he gave information that he had received of actual plans to influence matches to the investigative unit.In March, Petersen revealed he had reported fixing approaches but did not consider himself under investigaation.dddddddddddd At the time, he also said the ACSU was aware of his meetings and discussions with other players. Petersen maintained that he blew the whistle on Gulam Bodi and five other players, who were subsequently banned for between seven and 20 years.Since then, Petersen has been involved in what Twaddle called a lengthy negotiating period with CSA during which the board offered him a plea bargain. Although the details of that agreement have not been revealed, Petersen rejected it because he thought it excessive.Whilst Alviro is willing to take responsibility for his actions over this period, although they were taken in good faith under the circumstances at the time, he could not reach agreement with CSA because he believes that the sanctions which would have been imposed were disproportionate to Alviros actions and do not take sufficient cognisance of the defenses and mitigating circumstances put forward by Alviro, Twaddle wrote.Petersen, who was due to play for the Lions franchise in the domestic T20 competition which started on Saturday, has been suspended from all cricket activities. He has 14 days to officially respond to CSA. Twaddle is out of the country until November 22.

The English Football League has fined 12 clubs for breaching its ‘full strength’ policy in the Checkatrade Trophy. League Two side Luton have issued an angry response after they received the maximum penalty of £15,000.Competition rule 7.3 dictates that starting line-ups must include five players that started the previous or following match, or include five of the starting 11 that has made the most appearances in all domestic competitions. Luton and Portsmouth have been fined £5,000 per match for three matches in which they have been deemed to have failed to comply with the rule, totalling at £15,000 each.Fellow fourth-tier side Blackpool as well as League One clubs Bradford City, Bristol Rovers, Fleetwood, MK Dons, Millwall, Charlton, Peterborough, Sheffield United and Southend have all been fined £3000.All 12 clubs have the right to appeal to the EFL Board, who have stated that the remaining 36 clubs complied fully, with Bradford confirming to Sky Sports News HQ that they would take up their right of appeal.Bradford were penalised for transgressions not within the spirit of the rules over the decision to substitute keeper Colin Doyle just two minutes into their game against Bury. Charlton are one of nine League Two clubs fined by the EFL The Hatters beat League One Gillingham and Premier League side West Broms U21s to qualify for the knockout stages with a game to spare, and chief executive Gary Sweet said: We are staggered that we have been fined the maximum amount for our first offence.We played nine graduates of our academy in that game at Gillingham, and seven against a West Brom side containing four players, two of whom who were internationals and had been transferred for several million pounds, and still beat both. League Two side Blackpool lost at Bolton in their second group game We acknowledge our breach of the competition rules, but does our offence make a mockery of the competition any more than a club substituting their first-choice goalkeeper after just a couple of minutes of the game to ensure they met the five-player starting rule?Which is more in keeping with the spirit of the game? Which supports the competitions ethos of promoting young talent more?That is clearly disingenuous and by fining us this amount the EFL is effectively saying that promoting young talent is only acceptable if theyre with an EPPP1 club, and they are depriving their own member clubs young players access to first-team football.

They lost five of their final six on a nine-game homestand, going 4-5 during the stay.They open an 11-game trip, starting Thursday night with the first of four against the Los Angeles Angels.Our ability to go out and put up a complete game is important to head out on the road where we know things are going to be more difficult, just being away from Fenway Park, manager John Farrell said before the game.They rallied to tie it in the eighth on Mookie Betts RBI triple.

LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska hadnt planned to run its offense through Tai Webster and Jack McVeigh Saturday. It just worked out that the pair each had career scoring nights to lead the Huskers over Louisiana Tech 65-54.Webster had 17 of his 23 points in the first half, many of them coming off drives to the basket on which he either scored or went to the free throw line where he hit 7 of 8 shots.It just kind of played out that way, Webster said of his drives. Theyre a real aggressive defensive team and they force a lot of turnovers, obviously, Im living proof of it. I was just trying to match the aggression and not let me be on the back foot from it. Just attack them, bring the game to them.McVeigh scored 16 of his 21 points in the second half after the Bulldogs sent multiple defenders at Webster.Honestly, the shots just came to me, McVeigh said. They extended the pressure and with the pressure comes rotations and with rotations theres an open man. My teammates found me. Four of the six (field goals) were assisted on. Theyre easy looks when Im getting good passes from my teammates.Nebraska (3-0) led 45-41 when McVeigh hit a 3-pointer with 11:56 left, followed that up with a layup and Evan Taylor knocked down a jumper with 9:53 remaining that put the Huskers up 52-41.Louisiana Tech (1-2) traded baskets with Nebraska over the next six minutes, with Ed Morrow Jrs dunk giving the Huskers a 60-50 lead with 3:53 left. But Nebraska didnt hit another field goal.The Bulldogs Erik McCree hit a pair of jumpers to cut the Nebraska lead to six with 57 seconds left. But McVeigh hit two of three free throws and Webster added a pair to seal the win.Theres no question, we really just couldnt get over the hump and really build some momentum, said Louisiana Tech coach Eric Konkol. It seemed like every time we got close, we missed a shot or we turned it over or theyd get a bucket on the other end. We just couldnt get over the hump tonight. Got to give them a lot of credit. I thought they played some stingy defense and made it very difficult on us.Nebraska coach Tim Miles also praised the defense of his six primary players and particularly their toughness at the end.I thought the last four minutes we were a very, very tough team, Miles said. I thought there was a stretch in there where they were out-toughing us. But I thought we finished it the way they were doing it earlier. That was really important. Were not going to win otherwise.Nebraska won the game at the free throw line, outscoring Louisiana Tech by 15 from the stripe. The Huskers hit 11 of 12 first half free throws while Louisiana Tech was just 4 of 10. Nebraska hit 10 of 12 free throws in the second half. The Bulldogs were 2 of 2.McCree led Louisiana Tech with 16 points.QUOTABLEMcVeigh and Webster are roommates and were asked who had to buy dinner since they both had career highs Saturday. Webster replied: I guess I have to, hes the older one. Ill probably cook something. Out of the two, Im the best. He hooked me up the other day with some good seafood. So well see.THE BIG PICTURENebraska: Nebraska continues to search for production from its bench. Nebraskas non-starters contributed just 2 points in the first half and six in the second half in a combined 53 minutes of time on the floor.Louisiana Tech: Louisiana Tech has one more trip to a power 5 conference school in its first six games, playing at California on Nov. 30. The Bulldogs have lost at South Carolina and Nebraska.UP NEXTNebraska travels to Fullerton, Calif. where it will meet Dayton in the opening round of the Wooden Legacy tournament Thursday.Louisiana Tech returns home to Ruston, La. where it will host Oklahoma Baptist Wednesday.

LOUIS -- Lance Lynn was one of the more enthusiastic participants as the St. NEW YORK -- Yu Darvish threw 46 pitches in a simulated game Wednesday and could return to the Texas Rangers rotation shortly after the All-Star break.Sidelined by shoulder discomfort since a June 8 outing against Houston, Darvish threw all his pitches during the three-inning game.Ball came out clean. Really tight rotation on the breaking ball. Sharp, Rangers manager Jeff Banister said. There were some breaking balls that were short that youd see him kind of act out on, that he didnt get them where he wanted to, but, again, thats the perfectionist in Yu. The ball had good movement at the plate, had some really nice darting life at the plate.Pitching coach Doug Brocail said Darvishs next step will be determined after the 29-year-old right-hander evaluates how he feels Thursday, when Texas finishes a four-game series against the New York Yankees. A minor league rehab assignment of about 60 pitches or another simulated game are both possibilities. But the Rangers wont put Darvish back in their rotation until after the All-Star break, when their schedule resumes July 15 at the Chicago Cubs.If he feels good enough to go on a rehab assignment, I wouldnt mind sending him on a rehab assignment. If hes reluctant, then well wait, Brocail said.Rangers teammates Jurickson Profar and Ryan Rua batted against Darvish, and Profar homered over the short right-field porch.I told him it doesnt count, `cause it only went 317 (feet), catcher Bryan Holaday said.Banister was impressed by the outing.I dont think there was another ball thaat was barreled up, he said.ddddddddddddDarvish missed last season following Tommy John surgery and is 2-0 with a 2.87 ERA over three starts since returning to the Rangers on May 28 after five rehab starts in the minors. He has 19 strikeouts and six walks over 15 2/3 innings with the Rangers.Curveball was really sharp, Holaday said. His sinker out there was just explosive. Great downward action, and it was late.In other news, Texas claimed left-hander Eric Surkamp off waivers from Oakland and optioned him to Triple-A Round Rock.The 28-year-old Surkamp adds depth to a Texas team that boasts the best record in the American League despite an injury-riddled rotation. In addition to Darvish, left-hander Derek Holland and righty Colby Lewis are on the disabled list.Surkamp is 0-5 with a 6.98 ERA in nine starts over four stints with the Athletics this season. He was designated for assignment on Monday.Surkamp was 3-1 with a 3.07 ERA in five starts for Triple-A Nashville this year. He is 4-8 with a 6.68 ERA in 52 games (16 starts) during his big league career. He also has pitched for the Giants, White Sox and Dodgers.Im sure that well mix him in as a reliever, Banister said. I like the arm.To create space for Surkamp on the 40-man roster, Texas transferred outfielder Drew Stubbs from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day DL. Stubbs has been out since May 7 with a sprain of his left small toe.

Dhaka Dynamites 159 for 9 (Lewis 45, Farhad 3-28) beat Rajshahi Kings 103 (Mominul 27, Jayed 2-12) by 56 runsScorecard and ball-by-ball details Dhaka Dynamites clinched the Bangladesh Premier League in style, as they dismantled Rajshahi Kings to win by 56 runs in front of a full house in Mirpur. This is the third triumph for a Dhaka franchise in four BPLs, with the Gladiators having won in the 2012 and 2013 editions.It was also sweet revenge for Dhaka who were beaten by Rajshahi in both their league games earlier in the tournament. Rajshahi, one of two new franchises this season, were left dejected after having made a late dash into the final by beating Chittagong Vikings and Khulna Titans in the playoffs.While they would be proud of their overall campaign, their top order left the middle and lower order too much to do in the final, as they collapsed from 62-1 to 98-8, losing seven wickets for 36 runs as they tried to chase down 160. They were eventually bowled out for 103 in 17.4 overs.Nurul Hasan, like he has in most of this BPL, holed out to mid-off after hitting a boundary in the third over. Mominul Haque and Sabbir Rahman added 47 runs for the second wicket which led the recovery but they were dismissed within four deliveries of each other. Mehedi Marufs direct hit from short fine-leg found Sabbir a few inches short while Mominul, who made 27 off 30, was given out leg-before although the Shakib Al Hasan delivery appeared to have been missing off-stump.Rajshahis chase was hence dependent on Samit Patel, James Franklin and Darren Sammy, but the big-hitting trio fell in three consecutive overs when it mattered the most.In the 13th over, Franklin chipped left-arm spinner Sunzamul Islam to deep midwicket before Shakibs arm-ball bowled Sammy after he had struck a six off the previous ball. Dhaka removed Patel in the 15th over, brilliantly caught by Andre Russell who ran forward at least 15 yards from long-off and dived full length. They also didnt forget to mimick Rajshahis selfie celebration at this point.The final ended on a sour note after Kesrick Williams was struck on his right elbow by a full-blooded and needless return throw from Bravo. Williams was floored for several minutes, before walking back to the pavilion retired hurt. The trophy was clinched when Nazmul Islams top-edge off Russell was easily caught by Kumar Sangakkara who had earlier played an important hand to see Dhaka through to 159.Dhaka had stuttered through most of their 20 overs. Maruf was dropped twice, on 1 and 6, before giving a catch to point off his namesake Mehedi in the fourth over. Nasir Hossain, who also survived a chance on 4, was stumped off Afif Hossains well angled delivery later in the same over before Darren Sammy trapped Mosaddek Hossain leg-before for 5.But Evin Lewis bided his time at the other end, before getting into the groove. Hed hit eight boundaries to reach 45 when Rajshahi removed him with a poor Farhad Reza delivery down the leg-side that had Lewis fall over while flicking it to short fine-leg. Dhakas big-hitting trio of Dwayne Bravo, Andre Russell and Shakib Al Hasan didnt come good either, leaving much of the hitting to Sangakkara.Left to bat with the tail-enders, Sangakkara scooped Kesrick Williams for a six - only the second of the innings - in the 19th over, before he and Sunzamul managed to take 15 runs from the last over, which ultimately gave Dhaka an above-average score which proved too formidable for Rajshahi.

His goalkeeper did not betray his faith, making eight saves to help beat Lyon 1-0 in the French league on Satuwith Lorient until 2019, lifted his struggling team to only its second win in seven league matches, a success that helped the Brittany side move away from the bottom of the standings.Right-footed midfielder Jimmy Cabot fired home a superb volley with his left, connecting with a curled cross from Maxime Barthelme in the box in the 51st minute.Lorient fans chanted Lecomtes name after he made two saves in succession to deny Maxwel Cornet and Valbuena in the 80th. Lecomte was also decisive in the first half to stop efforts from Maciej Rybus, Corentin Tolisso, and Nabil Fekir twice. Lecomte had also luck on his side in the first half when Mathieu Valbuenas shot from 20 meter crashed against the bar.In the absence of injured striker Alexandre Lacazette and suspended captain Maxime Gonalons, Lyon switched back to its 4-3-3 system from last season during the match, but its best opportunities were limited to set-pieces.The result will leave Lyon coach Bruno Genesio scratching his head for quick solutions.

Nwakaeme beat Mathieu Michel with his backside after Glik forced the Angers goalkeeper to a reflex save with a header.

PARIS -- French law enforcement authorities on Saturday pledged extremely high security in Paris for Sundays European Championship final, with thousands of police patrolling as hundreds of thousands of fans mass in the French capital for the match.Security forces have three key venues to protect when France plays Portugal: The Stade de France stadium hosting the final -- outside of which three suicide bombers blew themselves up last year, the 92,000-capacity fan zone in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, and the Champs-Elysees boulevard, which will likely be swamped with fans after the match.Mathias Vicherat, the Paris Mayors chief of staff, said some 1,900 police and other security officers would patrol the fan zone, while the citys police chief, Michel Cadot, said 3,400 officers would patrol the Champs-Elysees, some of them redeployed from the stadium and fan zone after the final kicks off.We have the extremely favorable ratio of one officer for fewer than 50 spectators in the fenced-off fan area where supporters can watch the match on a giant screen, Vicherat said. So it is an extremely high standard.Security forces have already successfully protected a total of 11 matches at the Stade de France and Paris stadium the Parc des Princes, including the tournaments opening match, but the final is expected to draw the biggest crowds as France aims to win its third European title by beating Cristiano Ronaldos Portugal.Troops have been patrolling the streets of Paris for months in the aftermath of two deadly attacks by Islamic extremists last year. As Portugal and France fans wandered along the Champs-Elysees on Saturday they passed army trucks and submachine gun-toting troops.Cadot said that the extreme security levels are in place because Paris is still under a general terrorist threat.He also ruled out using the Champs-Elysees as a venue for honoring the French team on Monday if it wins the tournament, saying that the wide, tree-lined street has to be prepared for an annual military parade to mark the French national holiday of Bastille Day on July 14.Meticulous security preparations began long before the tournament and included an exercise in March in which officials simulated an attack involving a chemical bomb at an open-air screening of a match, with thousands of spectators.France has mobilized some 90,000 security agents around stadiums, fan zones and streets to keep fans safe. Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve has also kept his ministrys crisis room open throughout the tournament to help monitor events and coordinate responses should action be necessary.The work has paid off so far.On the eve of the final, tournament organizer UEFA paid tribute to the work of the French security forces in the 50 matches played in 10 host cities leading up to the final.We owe a great debt of thanks to the French people, to the French president, Francois Hollande, to the French government, the host cities, and the French police and armed forces, who have done such a marvelous job of ensuring the safety of the millions of fans who have come from all over Europe to attend this tournament, UEFA senior vice president Angel Maria Villar said Saturday.Matches early in the June 10-July 10 tournament, most notably the 1-1 draw between England and Russia in Marseille, were marred by hooligan violence, but there have been no other major security problems at the a tournament.France has achieved something quite remarkable, delivering one of the worlds biggest sporting events in very challenging circumstances, Villar said. France has shown that adversity can be overcome. It has shown the world how to stand tall. Kevin Long Jersey .
