After three weeks of football you are at the point as a team where you understand what you do well and what you need to improve upon as fast as possible. And thats never so clear right now than in Montreal. On special teams, not bad, defence pretty good, but this years Alouettes have major problems moving the ball when they have the ball. Now I will be the first one to say that the quality of the players is why teams win or lose. But good coaching by design and teaching can make a big difference. How else do you explain the fact that it is almost the identical personnel from last year to this year yet last years offence was amazingly productive and this years is amazingly inefficient? The opening drive for Montreal went for 11 plays, 81 yards, six-and-a-half minutes off the clock and a touchdown. But that was it. For after that blur of success the two-and-out plays became the consistency. So what has to happen? Kinda simple. Either the Als players have to adapt and master the offence run in Montreal or the Als offensive staff has to adapt to the players on offence and run what has worked for the players in the past. In college football it is a one-way street. The coach and coaches have a system in all three levels of football that they believe works because of previous success and the players run that system. Pro football is a bit different. There is more give and take, more communication to create success based on a coaching philosophy and the players ideas. Now I am not saying to run the Marc Trestman offence in full right now for the rest of the season. But I am saying what you have now is not working so it is time to incorporate some of it based on your Hall of Fame quarterbacks success experiences. With Calgary, two aspects of football became conversation points. First, how about Brad Sinopoli. A three-year quarterback becomes a productive receiver. These things dont happen very often and its significant as Sinopoli was looking at an experience of football at quarterback, now he has a chance for a career as a wide receiver. The second is Kevin Glenn or Drew Tate? Three injuries in a season plus two games has to be a concern for Tate. And its an opportunity for Glenn. It may be time for Glenn to take over the show. It will be time if Tate comes back and plays again yet cant finish a game he begins as a quarterback. Montreal has problems, Calgary has solved a few, Saskatchewan has none. I thought, okay, home opener in Edmonton a definite win as the Eskimos had made so many changes. Then Week 2 back home, Taylor Field, all that energy, definite win even though Calgary had played so well before. Then Week 3, on the road, Dome in Toronto, Argos coming off loss: no way. Boy was I wrong. Between Durant, Sheets, Dressler and others the Riders took the game over in the last three quarters. No doubt the Jamie Robinson interception for a touchdown that became a pass interference penalty changed the game, but so did Kory Sheets and his 178 yards rushing. The Riders have the Ticats home and away and football logic says they may be 5-0 going into their sixth game at Calgary with the Bye week before. Is Toronto a good 1-2 team or a team with a long way to go? I lean toward the latter, a team with a lot to improve upon. Two rookie players side-by-side on defence in Robinson at corner back and Jackson at defensive back have to improve fast for Toronto to activate the dominance they had last year. Two rookies side-by-side is a big risk that did not work out last Thursday night. With Winnipeg at Hamilton in Guelph, for Hamilton to win with two games against Saskatchewan on the horizon was immense. Could you imagine going to Regina at 0-3 as compared to 1-2? Better pass rush and better running game with Chevon Walker. Hes not just fast but can make people miss in tight areas. Walker can only get better and should remain the starter. Yet, a week ago it was Hugh Charles with a long touchdown run and last Saturday it was Chad Simpson with the same against the Tiger-Cats. And pass protection must improve as Winnipeg has seven more quarterback sacks. With 24 of 42 players either in their first of second year of CFL football, here in 2013 the Ticats are going through a gigantic learning process. How fast the new players learn and adapt will determine a good or difficult season. Now Winnipeg, well I thought it was more of Montreals inability than Winnipegs ability on defence that led to last weeks win. Kind of proven true this week. Still here is the list of special team mistakes for the Bombers in Week 3. 1. Mishandled snap on extra point. 2. Two kick-offs out of bounds that gave Hamilton the ball on the 45. 3. No yards penalty 4. A single on a misplayed Ticat kick-off. 5. Too many men on an extra point (declined). 6. Fake punt that lead to Ticats interception. That for the Bombers has to change and will by Friday night vs. Toronto and knowing Craig Dickenson as special teams coach, it will. Final game to be honest with you was a tough game to watch. Monsoon #2 for Edmonton which means not the best opportunity for quarterback Mike Reilly to excel and improve. B.C. slowly but surely took the game over the longer the game went on and will play Edmonton next week but this one will be in the dome in Vancouver so no rain anticipated. Edmonton missed Marcus Howard and Fred Stamps as both did not play but the issue is Edmonton scored only three points. Was it a good BC defence or poor Eskimo offence? Probably a bit of both. Another issue is the second blocked punt in two games allowed by Edmonton. As GM Ed Hervey said earlier in the week, "we are rebuilding." After three weeks of football teams now have three weeks of game film on all players. Now going into the fourth week, the question is: do we have the right players? And next week, that will be the question I try to answer. Yonder Alonso Jersey . Kyle Denbrook, a soccer player from Saint Marys University, took the CIS male athlete of the week honour.

ATLANTA -- Interim Braves manager Brian Snitker is used to answering questions about his teams inability to score.On a rare night, Snitker was delighted to watch Atlantas offense score at least one run in six innings.When you do, (the hitters) kind of relax and make it look easy, which it isnt, Snitker said. Its just one of those things you ride, a crest in a game. Hopefully we can build on it tomorrow.Ender Inciarte broke a tie with an RBI single in the fifth inning and the offensively challenged Braves had 15 hits to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-4 on Wednesday night.Last in the major leagues in runs, the Braves crossed the plate eight times after the Pirates took a 4-0 lead in the first.Pittsburgh, which began the day two games out of a wild-card spot, has lost four five. Atlanta improved to 17-39 at Turner Field, the worst home record in the majors.Pirates starter Jeff Locke (8-7) blew the four-run lead and was chased on Inciartes single. He allowed nine hits, five runs, two walks and struck out one in 4 1/3 innings. Locke is 0-2 with an 11.91 ERA in his last three starts.I got ahead of plenty of guys, just couldnt put anybody away, Locke said.Atlanta scored two runs in the sixth and one in the seventh off Juan Nicasio, taking an 8-4 lead on Adonis Garcias RBI single, Matt Kemps sacrifice fly and Erick Aybars RBI triple.Braves starter Rob Whalen (1-0), making his first career appearance, gave up four hits, four runs, four walks and struck out five in five innings.Whalen put himself in a 4-0 hole on Matt Joyces 11th homer, a three-run shot, and a run that scored on a wild pitch. He labored early, throwing balls on 32 of his first 62 pitches.I was just trying to battle through it the best I can, Whalen said. What an amazing job by the offense to come through there and pickk me up and keep chipping that whole game.dddddddddddd It makes it a little easier.Atlanta crept back in the game on Anthony Reckers RBI groundout in the second, Freddie Freemans RBI double in the third and Reckers RBI double, which made it 4-3 in the fourth.The Braves took a 5-4 lead in the fifth on Nick Markakis sacrifice fly and Inciartes single. Inciarte went 3 for 4 and has hit safely in a season-best 14 straight games. He has a .377 average since July 19.Joyce, in the lineup for slumping Andrew McCutchen, is hitting .294 with three homers and nine RBI in his last 10 starts.TRAINERS ROOMStarling Marte was hit by two pitches but stayed in the game. The first one in the first grazed his left hand, but the next one in the fifth hit his left hand solidly. Marte has been hit by 15 pitches, third-most in the NL. ... C Francisco Cervelli is still being evaluated after getting hit in the left side of the helmet by a pitch on Tuesday. Cervelli, whos had concussion issues in his career, left the game after noticing his helmet was cracked as he stood at first base a few minutes later.ROTATION ROUNDABOUTThe Braves have used 13 starting pitchers this season, their most since 1987 when they lost 92 games. The Atlanta franchise record of 15 was set in 1975 when the Braves lost 94 games.ROSTER MOVESThe Braves optioned RHP Ryan Weber and INF Daniel Castro to Triple-A Gwinnett and selected the contracts of Whalen and RHP Brandon Cunniff.UP NEXTPirates: RHP Ryan Vogelsong (1-1) is 2/3 with a 5.08 ERA in five career starts and three relief appearances against AtlantaBraves: RHP Tyrell Jenkins (1-2) will make his fifth career start. He has never faced Pittsburgh.

Marathoners dont mess around.Desiree Linden, one of three American women headed to Rio to run the marathon, can sustain a roughly 5?-minute pace across 26.2 miles on race day. She might even log 20 miles on a training day.To replace all those calories, Lindens chow-down dish involves chicken, mushrooms, rosemary-orange salad and chipotle pan sauce.Its hearty enough to fill me up, and I love some good spice on a meal, Linden says. But timing is everything. A full stomach and spicy food, she points out, are generally not advised before a hard session, so its a good treat for after the work is in the books.Day and time: I love this for dinner after a big workout day.Place: At home in Rochester Hills, MichiganWhat Im eating: Roasted chicken and mixed mushrooms, with crispy rosemary-orange salad and chipotle pan sauceWhose recipe: I got this from Jeremy Ford on Blue Apron.Why Im eating it:?Its filling, full of nutrients, loaded with flavor, and simple to prepare and cook -- which is a bonus when Im already beat from working out.The recipe:Ingredients2 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs 4 ounces cremini mushrooms 2 ounces maitake mushrooms 1 navel orange 1/2 bunch collard greens 1 bunch rosemary 2 tablespoons crème fra?che 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar 1 chipotle pepper in adobo saucePreheat the oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Pick the rosemary leaves off the stems; discard the stems. Cut the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Remove and discard the collard green stems; thinly slice. Using a peeler, remove the orange rind, avoiding the pith; mince the rind to get 2 teaspoons of zest (or use a zester). Remove and discard the pith; small-dice the orange, discarding any seeds. Finely chop the chipotle pepper.Fry rosemary: In a large pan, heat a thin layer of oil on medium until hot. Add the rosemary and cook, stirring occasionally, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until crispy and fragrant. Turn off the heat. Carefully transfer the fried rosemary to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the oil in the pan.Cook chicken and mushrooms: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the pan of reserved oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken, skin sides down; cook six to eight minutes on the first side, or until browned. Transfer, skin sides up, to a sheet pan, leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan on the stove. Place the mushrooms on the sheet pan; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast 22 to 24 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the mushrooms are browned.Cook collard greens: Once the chicken and mushrooms have roasted for about 15 minutes, heat the pan of reserved fond on medium-high until hot. Add the collard greens, orange zest, half the orange and 1/4 cup of water; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, four to six minutes, or until the collard greens have wilted and the water has cooked off. Transfer to a bowl and set aside in a warm place.Make pan sauce: In the pan used to cook the collard greens, combine the vinegar, half the crème fra?che and 1/4 cup of water. Gradually add as much of the chipotle pepper as youd like (tasting as you go), depending on how spicy youd like the dish to be; season with salt and pepper. Cook on medium-high, stirring frequently, two to three minutes, or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.Make the orange salad and plate dish: In a bowl, combine the remaining orange and fried rosemary; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread a layer of the remaining crème fra?che onto the sides of two dishes. Divide the cooked collard greens and roasted chicken and mushrooms between the dishes. Top with the orange salad. Serve with as much pan sauce as youd like, depending on how spicy youd like it. Air Max ST China .

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- No. 10 Nebraska finally finished off Indiana on Saturday.Barely.They needed Stanley Morgan Jr. to take advantage of two Indiana safeties running into one another for a 72-yard TD catch. They needed a break from the officials -- and the replay booth -- when Terrell Newby nearly lost a fumble with the Cornhuskers clinging to a two-point lead with 2:06 to play. They needed a 39-yard field goal with 45 seconds left to force the Hoosiers to drive for a touchdown and they needed an interception on the Hoosiers final series to close it out.No, it wasnt pretty and it certainly wasnt easy. But for the first time in 15 years, Nebraska has won its first six games.Great teams win games, quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. said. Thats all I got to say about it. You can say what you want about it, but all we do is come out and win games.Nebraska (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) has won seven straight overall and five straight in this series, which was played for the first time since 1978.Afterward, relieved Nebraska players and coaches were just glad to be heading home still in charge of the conferences West Division.The improving Hoosiers (3-3, 1-2), meanwhile, sure didnt make it easy as they chased their first win over a top 10 team since 1987.Nebraska scored the first 17 points courtesy of a field goal and two TDs in a 14-second span.Indiana scored the next 15 and finally got into the end zone on the final play of the third quarter with a 33-yard TD run from Devine Redding on a fake reverse.Morgans TD catch finally gave Nebraska the upper hand and all the Hoosiers could muster after that was Reddings 4-yard TD catch that made 24-22 with 8:26 to play and the Cornhuskers played keep away the rest of the night.Three weeks in a row, play three pretty good games. One game we eliminate the mistakes and we get a victory, Indiana coach Kevin Wilson said. The other two weeks, we make mistakes and we lose the games.THE TAKEAWAYNebraska: The Huskers could start to lock up the Big Ten West over the next two weeks. Nebraska is the only unbeaten team leftt on that side of the conference standings, and No.dddddddddddd 8 Wisconsin comes to town in two weeks. A win there -- or a loss by the Badgers before then -- would make Nebraska a clear favorite to book a trip to Decembers Big Ten championship game.Indiana: The Hoosiers are in solid shape heading into an easier second half. Theyve already upset one ranked team, seriously challenged two more and their usually maligned defense has proven it can hold up. That bodes well for the Hoosiers, who need three wins to become bowl eligible for a second straight season for the first time in a quarter century.KEY NUMBERSArmstrong was held in check, running 11 times for 36 yards while going 10 of 26 for 208 yards through the air. Morgan had three catches for 93 yards and Newby ran 22 times for 102 yards. Indianas Lagow completed 19 of 32 passes for 196 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. His top target was Mitchell Paige, who had nine catches for 101 yards. Ricky Jones had six catches for 76 yards for Indiana.POLL IMPLICATIONSNebraska: This week, the Cornhuskers cracked the Top 10 for the first time in five years and they should continue moving up. How high theyll go depends on everyone in front of them.Indiana: The Hoosiers might be getting closer to a major breakthroughs but dont expect them to end their 22-year absence in the rankings this week.UP NEXTNebraska: Now the Cornhuskers have something to prove against Purdue. A year ago, the Boilermakers stunned Nebraska. But after Iowas 49-35 victory, the Boilermakers are reeling and Nebraska needs to keep the momentum rolling before facing No. 8 Wisconsin and No. 2 Ohio State.Indiana: After finishing a brutal stretch against three straight Top 20 foes, the Hoosiers visit underperforming Northwestern. For the Hoosiers, its a chance to get back on the right track with two more winnable games after next week.---Online:AP College Football: collegefootball.ap.org Cheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Wholesale Discount Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Baseball Jerseys Free Shipping Cheapest College Jerseys Sale Cheap Football Jerseys China Nike NFL Jerseys Canada Wholesale NHL Jerseys From China MLB Jerseys Outlet Canada Wholesale NBA Jerseys Canada Store Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap Authentic Jerseys Canada ' ' '

BOSTON -- By Tuesday, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney could tell his team needed a break. That victory against Louisville was dramatic and draining, and a long trip on short rest was looming.Swinney eased up a bit on the third-ranked Tigers and they responded with a sharp performance when they easily could have come out flat, beating Boston College 56-10 on Friday night.It was a taxing week, but our guys didnt complain, Swinney said. They just went through the grind. I love that mentality of that team.Deshaun Watson threw for 266 yards and four touchdowns, and the Heisman Trophy hopeful even helped clear the way for Wayne Gallmans 59-yard scoring run with a solid block.Clemson (6-0, 3-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) extended its conference winning streak to 12 games and its road winning streak to eight, which matches a school record set from 1978-79.Ive been doing this a long time. Theres a reason that records only eight. Its really hard to do, Swinney said, doing his postgame news conference with the big bronze ORourke-McFadden Trophy that goes to the winner of this rivalry sitting on the table next to him.Clemson linebacker Ben Boulware said he planned to spend his rare Saturday off back home in Anderson, South Carolina, chowing down on some food from J.C.s sandwich shop, riding his fathers new dune buggy and watching college football.Im super pumped, he said.The Tigers definitely earned their break.Boston College (3-3, 0-3) lost its 11th consecutive ACC game.Clemson broke three plays of at least 50 yards in the first quarter, two for touchdowns and another that set up a score. Watson picked off a defender on the edge to help spring Gallman for the games first touchdown. Watsons 59-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Leggett made it 21-0 late in the first half. That was all the Tigers needed.Those three plays were costly right there, Boston College coach Steve Addazio said. The last thing I wanted to see us do is give up some big plays.TAKEAWAYClemson: Hard to expect an A-plus effort from the Tigers considering the circumstances, but there was nothing to complain about. Swinney said the team hit a wall in the middle of the week so he cut back on practice and had the coaches and players catch up on rest. There was no looking past BC and a trip to the place where Swinney earned his first win as Clemson coach back in 2008.We dont look forward to the next game or (back at) game past, Watson said.There were plenty of Clemson fans in the sellout crowd of 44,500, but not much intensity in Alumni Stadium. Still, the Tigers took care of business and came out of the game relatively healthy.Boston College: The Eagles just cant match-up against this level of opposition. The Eagles have lost their last two ACC games by a combined score 105-10 to Virginia Tech and Clemson.BCs best first-half drive covered 80 yards and got inside the Clemson 1. Twice on fourth-and-goal, quarterback Patrick Towles fumbled the snap because center Jim Cashman, who was playing in place of the injured Jon Baker (ankle), was knocked into the backfield by Tigers tackle Scott Pagano. The first one was wiped out by an offside penalty by Clemson, so Pagano did it again.Baker is Boston Colleges best lineman.One of my fears was losing that guy and that happened, Addazio said.POLL IMPLICATIONSBeating one of the worst teams in the conference isnt going to push Clemson up the polls, but the Tigers did nothing to lose support In the AP Top 25 , which comes out Monday instead of Sunday because of the postponed Georgia-South Carolina game.HOMECOMINGClemson star defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, from Springfield, Massachusetts, had four tackles, two for loss, including a sack, in his first college game in his home state.UP NEXTClemson: The Tigers return home to face North Carolina State on Oct. 15.Boston College: If the Eagles are going to break the ACC losing streak, the next game could be their best opportunity. Boston College hosts Syracuse on Oct. 22 in a matchup of one team that cant play offense (BC) and another that cant play defense (Syracuse).---Follow Ralph D.

is season, putting him on pace to allow 39 dingers

On the eve of a new NFL season, ESPNs power panel (a group of more than 80 writers, editors and TV personalities) has Seattle and Pittsburgh ranked first and second. The Steelers have impressed this offseason, moving up to No. 2 after ranking sixth in the preseason edition.ESPNs Stats & Information contributed the following information.1. Seattle Seahawks2015 record: 10-6 Preseason ranking: No. 1Russell Wilson set career highs in just about every passing category last season, but the top-ranked Seahawks would probably prefer to reduce his workload this season. Wilson is 14-10 in his career when throwing 30-plus passes in a game, and 32-8 when throwing fewer than 30 passes.2. Pittsburgh Steelers2015 record: 10-6 Preseason ranking: No. 6The past two seasons rank as the highest-scoring seasons in Steelers franchise history. The Steel Curtain might be no more, but with an offense like that, theyd probably still win with linen curtains.3. New England Patriots2015 record: 12-4 Preseason ranking: No. 3What do you got, Jimmy Garoppolo? He makes his first career start against a defense that was second in takeaways (33) and had the highest blitz percentage (45 percent) last season. Garoppolo has faced eight blitzes in his NFL career.4. Arizona Cardinals2015 record: 13-3 Preseason ranking: No. 2Carson Palmer was the model of consistency last season, posting an above-average Total QBR (more than 50) in 15 of his 16 games played. More of that play will keep the Cardinals in the mix for as long as it happens.5. Carolina Panthers2015 record: 15-1 Preseason ranking: No. 5The Panthers won their first 14 games to start the 2015 season but could be staring an 0-1 start in the face in 2016. In two career starts against the Broncos, Cam Newton has taken 13 sacks and posted an 11.1 Total QBR.6. Green Bay Packers2015 record: 10-6 Preseason ranking: No. 4According to ESPNs Football Power Index (FPI), the Packers are currently favored in all 16 games this season. That doesnt mean theyll go 16-0, but odds are the Packers could find themselves climbing even higher than sixth in these rankings in the near future.7. Cincinnati Bengals2015 record: 12-4 Preseason ranking: No. 7With Tyler Eifert out and with no clear-cut No. 2 wide receiver, the Bengals could try to ride Jeremy Hill and Giovani Bernard in the early going. That might work in the long run, but their Week 1 opponent, the Jets, had the second-best rush defense last season.8. Denver Broncos2015 record: 12-4 Preseason ranking: No. 8Trevor Siemian?has earned the start for the Broncos in Week 1 despite having one career NFL snap, but his play might not be the difference. Broncos quarterbacks had the second-worst TD-INT differential last season and still won the Super Bowl.9. Kansas City Chiefs2015 record: 11-5 Preseason ranking: No. 9The Chiefs started 1-5 last season but won their final 10 games. If they can get off to a better start this season, thatll give them a nice cushion as they wait for Jamaal Charles and Justin Houston to return to full health.10. New York Jets2015 record: 10-6 Preseason ranking: No. 15The Jets first six games this season are against teams that finished .500 or better in 2015, and four of them are on the road. The Jets played nine games against teams that finished under .500 last season, tied for fourth-most in the NFL, and went 7-2 in those games.11. Oakland Raiders2015 record: 7-9 Preseason ranking: No. 11Anyone who thinks Derek Carrs 2015 season might have been a one-time thing will probably have to wait at least a week to feel vindicated. Carr faces a Saints team that allowed the worst NFL passer rating in league history last season.12. Minnesota Vikings2015 record: 11-5 Preseason ranking: No. 10Teddy Bridgewaters injury forced the Vikings to pay a steep price for Sam Bradford in hopes of salvaging their season. Problem is, Bradfords career Total QBR of 40.5 is lower than Shaun Hills 45.6.13. Houston Texans2015 record: 9-7 Preseason ranking: No. 16New quarterback. New running back. A few new wide receivers. The Texans offense will look a lot different this season, and theyre hoping the results will be different, too. The Texans have ranked 24th in scoring the past three seasons.14. Washington Redskins2015 record: 9-7 Preseason ranking: No. 18Theres a good chance the Redskins will find themselves a little lower in the Week 2 Power Rankings. They open their season on Monday Night Football against the Steelers (7:10 ET, ESPN). The Redskins havent beaten the Steelers since 1991.15. Baltimore Ravens2015 record: 5-11 Preseason ranking: No. 12The Ravens dont stay down for long, and a home game against the Bills seems like a recipe to start on the right foot. The Ravens havent missed the playoffs in consecutive seasons since 2004-05.16. Buffalo Bills2015 record: 8-8 Preseason ranking: No. 24Tyrod Taylor and Rex Ryan make their triumphant returns to Baltimore to start their season. The Bills havent won in Baltimore since 1999, which is, coincidentally, the last time the Bills made the playoffs.17. New York Giants2015 record:?6-10 Preseason ranking: No. 17The Giants are 0-8 all time in season openers against the Cowboys and have lost three straight in Dallas. A new coach and a shiny new defense could buck those trends in Week 1 though.18. Indianapolis Colts2015 record: 8-8 Preseason ranking: No. 14Andrew Luck struggled last season, but in his last game played he did beat the eventual Super Bowl champion Broncos, one of two games last season in which he didnt commit a turnover. The Colts need more of that Luck to keep rising in the rankings.19. Jacksonville Jaguars2015 record: 5-11 Preseason ranking: No. 20The young Jaguars will be put to the test early when Aaron Rodgers and the Packers roll into town in Week 1. The Jaguars havent won a season opener since 2011, but they have their best offense since 2007, when they finished sixth in scoring and made the playoffs.20. Detroit Lions2015 record: 7-9 Preseason ranking: No. 27The Lions will take the field without Calvin Johnson in a season opener for the first time since 2006. Mike Furrey was the leading receiver for Detroit that day, but the trio of Golden Tate, Marvin Jones and Anquan Boldin figure to do a little better this time around.21. Miami Dolphins2015 record:6-10 Preseason ranking: No. 26The Dolphins start their season on the road against the No. 1-ranked Seahawks and on the road against the No. 3-ranked Patriots. Theres a good chance the Dolphins will be lower than 21st in the rankings after that stretch.22. Atlanta Falcons2015 record: 8-8 Preseason ranking: No. 19Win or lose for the Falcons, Julio Jones figures to come out a winner in Week 1. He has averaged 9.3 receptions and 133.8 receiving yards in his past four games against the Buccaneers, catching 72.5 percent of his targets in those games.23. Dallas Cowboys2015 record: 4-12 Preseason ranking: No. 13The Cowboys took a big hit in the rankings following Tony Romos injury, and rookie Dak Prescott is in a unique position. No rookie quarterback has started and won a season opener for the Cowboys since Roger Staubach in 1969.24. Tampa Bay Buccaneers2015 record: 6-10 Preseason ranking: No. 23The Buccaneers are tied with the Titans and Cowboys for the longest active losing streak, but the good news is that they travel to Atlanta in Week 1. The Bucs swept the season series against the Falcons for the first time since 2007 last season.25. Philadelphia Eagles2015 record: 7-9 Preseason ranking: No. 25The Eagles will have a quarterback making his first career start in Week 1 against the Browns. Itll be a learning experience for Carson Wentz, but hey, at least its against the Browns.26. San Diego Chargers2015 record: 4-12 Preseason ranking: No. 28The Joey Bosa holdout finally came to an end, but will he make an impact in Week 1? The Chargers have lost four straight to their Week 1 opponents, the Chiefs, allowing nearly 5.0 yards per rush in those games.27. New Orleans Saints2015 record: 7-9 Preseason ranking: No. 22The Saints get to open their 2016 season at home, but that doesnt mean much for New Orleans anymore. The Saints are 4-9 in their past 13 home games, losing three of the past four.28. Los Angeles Rams2015 record: 7-9 Preseason ranking: No. 29The last quarterback to go first overall and not play in Week 1 was JaMarcus Russell in 2007, but the Rams hands are tied. When youve got a quarterback in Case Keenum with a career 5-10 record and 38 career Total QBR, you have to start him instead.29. Chicago Bears2015 record: 6-10 Preseason ranking: No. 21Bad news for Jay Cutler: J.J. Watt is now expected to play in Week 1. The last time Cutler faced a Watt-led defense was in 2012. Cutler didnt last two full quarters and threw two interceptions, and the Bears scored six points. Cutler wasnt sacked though ...30. Tennessee Titans2015 record: 3-13 Preseason ranking: No. 30Week 1 has been the Titans time to shine; theyve won their last three openers by a total of 51 points. An opener against a Teddy Bridgewater-less Vikings could extend that streak, but dont get too excited if they do. Tennessee is 9-36 in all other weeks in that time.31. Cleveland Browns2015 record:?3-13 Preseason ranking: No. 31Robert Griffin III will get his first regular-season action since Week 17 of 2014. If the preseason is any indication, it should be interesting. Griffins three preseason touchdowns went for 50, 29 and 43 yards, respectively.32. San Francisco 49ers2015 record: 5-11 Preseason ranking: No. 32The 49ers were exciting on Monday Night Football in Week 1 last season, beating the Vikings, 20-3.

If youre an NBA team trying to end a losing streak, the San Antonio Spurs are not likely the opponent youd want to square off against.Thats the task at hand for the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday when they host surging San Antonio at Spectrum Center in Charlotte, N.C.The Spurs (10-3) have been nearly bulletproof on the road to open the season, going 7-0 and winning games in Oakland against Golden State, in Houston and twice in Sacramento. But this three-game stretch -- which starts in Charlotte, heads to Boston and ends in Washington, D.C. -- undoubtedly will test the San Antonios mettle.San Antonio heads to the Queen City on the heels of a lethargic 96-91 win against shorthanded Dallas on Monday that Spurs coach Gregg Popovich labeled awful and pathetic. Just think about how Popovich can go off when San Antonio loses.The Spurs are still trying to find the proper roles for the seven new players on their roster. San Antonio rested guard Tony Parker and forward LaMarcus Aldridge against the Mavericks, a common practice for Popovich no matter the opponent as he looks at the seasons big picture.Everyone needs some time to adjust to our system, Spurs guard Manu Ginobili said after the win on Monday. It is what it is; we understand that thats the way it is. We all come from different roles. Once you get adjusted to it, you understand what Pops looking for from us.Spurs reserve forward David Lee, one of those newcomers, scored 12 points in the win over Dallas. He said the difference in the way San Antonio has played on the road as compared to home is nothing to be concerned about.Sometimes it just works out that way, Lee said. (Monday) we were without Tony and LaMarcus, two of the guys that really get us in rhythm. I just think weve had a couple of games where we havent played our best at home.Charlotte (8-5) fell behind by 22 at halftime and never rallied in a 105-90 loss at home to Memphis on Monday. Its just the second time this season that the Hornets have lost consecutive games.This whole thing is about getting better, Hornets coach Steve Clifford said. San Antonio is an elite team and we have to play to our game, which starts with having the right intensity, the right detail and the right togetherness. We have to start better and we have to sustain better.Guard Kemba Walker is averaging 24.7 points in 13 games, which is the second most points a Charlotte player has averaged since Glen Rice posted 26.8 in 1996-97. It marks only the second time a player has averaged more than 23 points in Charlotte history and is the highest scoring average since Al Jefferson averaged 21.8 in 2013-14.Backcourt mate guard Nicolas Batum continues to be one of the most versatile players in the league, doing everything from scoring, setting up his teammates and rebounding. Batum is averaging 14.1 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists and is one of only five players in the NBA averaging 14-6-5.We didnt have the energy we usually have, Batum said after the loss to Memphis. Maybe we had some hangover from the loss in New Orleans, which was really tough. We have to move on and get ready for San Antonio. New Balance Running Shoes Outlet .

Michael Bisping has become Britains first UFC champion but what did we learn from his shock win? Bisping wins belt Full UFC 199 results The 37-year-old from Lancashire became middleweight king with a knockout win against Luke Rockhold, his biggest rival, in a rematch from their 2014 fight which the American won.But what lessons did UFC 199 provide? Bispings legacy cemented Bisping aims a right hand at Luke Rockhold For a decade, Bisping has resided just one step away from the top of his chosen mountain. He had seen challengers ascend and fall back to obscurity, none of them able to permanently drag Bisping down with them. Yet, as past world title challengers settle into retirement, the Brit was still one step short from the pinnacle of his journey.Had he never beaten Rockhold, Bisping would have been heralded for his almost unrivalled longevity. In such a demanding sport, it is almost unheard of to find one athlete whose performance has remained so resolute throughout a decade. His next outing will equal Frank Mir and Tito Ortizs record of the most UFC fights (27) while winning the belt drew him level with Georges St-Pierres record of 19 wins inside the Octagon. Bispings place in cage history was already guaranteed but it would have always come with lingering disappointment that he never jumped the final hurdle. Lesnars opponent confirmed Brock Lesnar v Mark Hunt at UFC 200 For seven of Bispings 10 years in the middleweight division, Anderson Silva held the belt and his reign will go down as the greatest to date. There would have been no shame, for that reason, if the Brit never managed it. A victory over the ageing and belt-less Silva earlier this year was Bispings finest night and a far bigger achievement than all except the very elite will ever muster.By grabbing the belt at long last, Bisping has ticked the one box that would have hung over his head if he retired as a perennial contender. Iconic fighters like Dan Henderson, Wanderlei Silva and the Diaz brothers have never been UFC champions - now there is nothing to separate Bisping from the very best to ever step in the cage.Pillow fists? Bisping won after two powerful left hooks Can old dogs learn new tricks? For all the furore surrounding a major upset, it is notable that Bisping secured victory in a manner that is far from trademark.He is certainly not renowned as a power-puncher, leading to Rockhold to mischievously tell Sky Sports he wouldnt bother putting his hands up if they rematched. In the end, Rockholds low guard caused his demise.A one-shot left hook did the real damage and sent the champion hurtling to the ground, before the same punch finished the fight. At 37, Bispings power impressed against Silva in February but didnt cause a stoppage. In 10 previous fights spanning four years, Bisping has only stopped Cung Le and that was an attritional assault in the penultimate round. Perhaps, as well as a new belt, he has added a new weapon.Is nobody safe? Rockhold is the latest UFC champion to lose his belt Only one of the UFCs 10 champions has reigned from the present day back until 2014 - Demetrious Johnson - while only three still own a belt having won in 2015 - including Conor McGregor who has never defended his featherweight title.Rockhold was rated at No 3 on the organisations official pound-for-pound list and, having convincingly taken the title from Chris Weidman, was seen as part of an emerging generation who could reign for the long-term. Yet even he has failed to make a single defence of his belt. Bisping can expect to be immediately thrown to the wolves for his next fight so it remains to be seen if he can string any title defences together.Cruz control Dominick Cruz (left) must now be regarded as one of the very best Dominick Cruz methodically out-pointed Urijah Faber to defend his bantamweight title, and surge up the pound-for-pound rankings. How many fighters across all weight divisions can lay claim to being better than Cruz?Prior to his trilogy fight with Faber, he was rated at No 4 on the UFCs official pound-for-pound ranks but will shoot up a place after No 3 Rockholds loss. Only Jon Jones and Demetrious Johnson sit above Cruz - and Cruz owns a win over Johnson.Horrific injuries threatened to ruin Cruzs career but, having been stripped of his belt due to inactivity, he immediately took it back from TJ Dillashaw earlier this year. His only career defeat was to Faber nine years ago and he has since avenged that twice. His unique stick-and-move style should be the threshold for aspiring fighters and, aged 30, it appears his own brittle knees are his biggest opposition.Will Henderson call it a day? Dan Henderson might still have life left in his career Aged 45, Dan Henderson has been the UFCs oldest active fighter for longer than most athletes even compete on the top stage. He beat Hector Lombard with a spectacular elbow knockout but, regardless of result, his career may have drawn to a close.His UFC contract has expired and he has been non-committal about penning an extension, not helped by six losses in his previous eight fights. Arguably his best win in five years might be enough to coax him into extending his 46-fight career.

NEW YORK -- The Yankees four-game set against the AL-leading Rangers started Monday with what Chase Headley called maybe the toughest loss of his career.On Wednesday, Texas was two outs from winning the first three games. And yet the series ended Thursday with New York somehow earning a split when Headley scampered home on a passed ball for his teams second straight victory in the bottom of the ninth.Headley just beat the throw with two outs for a 2-1 win. Four Yankees pitchers combined to strike out 16 Rangers -- 12 by starter Michael Pineda.Didi Gregorius, who had the winning home run hours earlier when the Yankees rallied from a four-run ninth-inning deficit Wednesday night, hit a solo shot in the fifth to tie the score. Shin-Soo Choo had homered to lead off the game.Reliever Tony Barnette (5-3) walked Headley to lead off the bottom of the ninth. With runners on second and third and two outs, Robinson Chirinos dropped a fastball from Barnette.Headley had been concerned that Chirinos might try to throw behind him, and when he saw the pitch wasnt low, he started to take a half-step back before he saw the ball squirt away.Once it got by, though, theres no going back, he said. You just hope that you make it.Chirinos said he knew which pitch was coming and its location.Its my fault, he said.Barnette blamed himself for the leadoff walk.Its unacceptable, he said. You walk a guy to start an inning, most of the time hes going to score.Aroldis Chapman (2-0) worked around Adrian Beltres leadoff single in the top of the ninth to earn the win.In what manager Joe Girardi called his best outing of the season, Pineda was sharp after a shaky first inning, when Choo crushed the fourth pitch of the game for his 18th career leadoff homer.Pineda struck out Rougned Odor with two runners on to prevent further damage, and he didnt allow a hit the rest of the way -- reaching what is a magical six-inning mark for Yankees starters because of their trio of hard-throwing relievers.Dellin Betances, Andrew Miller and Chapman each pitched a scoreless inning.After a rough start to the season, Pineda had a 2.75 ERA in June, though he has just one win to show for it because of a lack of run support.Like Pineda, Rangers starter A.J. Griffin cruised after laboring through the first. Both pitchers struck out the side in the second, and overall nine straight batters struck out from the bottom of the first through the top of the third.Griffin retired 12 in a row before Gregorius tying homer. Griffin departed after throwing 88 pitches in five innings. He allowed the one run and two hits with two walks and eight strikeouts.After Headleys walk in the ninth, Gregorius came up again with a chance to win it -- but this time he sacrificed, bunting Headley to second with one out. Aaron Hicks then walked.Starlin Castro, who hit a walk-off home run of his own eight days earlier, grounded out to first to put the runners on second and third with two outs.MOMENTUM SWINGOn Monday, the Yankees blew a ninth-inning lead after a 3 1/2-hour rain delay, and the game didnt end until 2:44 a.m. But now they start a 10-game road trip back at .500.Hopefully this is what really got us going, Girardi said.TRAINERS ROOMYankees: Carlos Beltran, who didnt start for the second straight game because of right hamstring tightness, can bat, but he cant run. He pinch-hit for No. 9 hitter Ronald Torreyes in the seventh, and after he walked, Castro, who didnt start with a day game after a night game, pinch-ran for him. Girardi is concerned about Beltrans ability to play the field during this weekends interleague series at San Diego and doesnt expect him to start Friday. ... C Brian McCann played a day game after a night game even though tendinitis in his knee flared up Wednesday.UP NEXTRangers: Texas continues its 10-game road trip with a three-game series at Minnesota, with LHP Martin Perez (7-4) seeking his seventh straight victory when he faces RHP Ervin Santana (2-7) on Friday.Yankees: New York opens a 10-game road trip with an interleague series at San Diego, when RHP Nathan Eovaldi (6-5) looks for his first win in more than a month in a matchup against RHP Colin Rea (4-3).

Mayo was dismissed and disqualified from the NBA on Friday for violating the terms of the leagues anti-drug program, the first player to receive that punishment in a decade.The league said the No. 3 overall pick in the 2008 draft out of USC is eligible to apply for reinstatement in two years.Mayo, 28, spent the past three seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks.

He was reinstated in March 2008, won a championship with Miami in 2013 and spent last season with the Heat and Memphis Grizzlies.Mayo was drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves but his rights were dealt to Memphis in exchange for Kevin Loves.

2014 was a tough year for Justin Verlander. Just three years after winning the AL Cy Young Award, the Tigers ace unexpectedly posted an unsightly 4.54 ERA. He was better last year, but it came in only 133 innings and didnt feature his normally transcendent strikeout totals. After a middling start to this season, he began looking for answers.He apparently found them.Even after allowing seven runs to the Indians on May 3, he promised a return to dominance:He has been true to his word. Since that May 3 start, Verlander is 10-3 with a 2.58 ERA and close to 10 Ks per nine innings.So what has he done differently? Well, as always, its not just one thing. From the big-picture perspective, a coming-together of good health, sound mechanics and his trademark aggressive approach has made his stuff unhittable again. But lets dig a little deeper.

Dermot Gallagher believes at least one player should have been sent off as Tottenhams title hopes slipped away at Chelsea. Mauricio Pochettinos team set a new Premier League record as they had nine players cautioned by referee Mark Clattenburg in the fractious 2-2 draw on Monday Night Football.Gallagher, a top-flight referee for 15 years, says Eric Dier should have been dismissed for his lunge on Cesc Fabregas late in the game, but feels others - including an apparent eye-gouge by Mousa Dembele on Diego Costa - could be subjects of retrospective punishments in the days ahead. Gallagher said: There should certainly have been one (red card) and Dier, for me, is the one that stands out. Other incidents I would refer to the FA. It would be up to them to look at the incidents subsequently.Tottenham are already due to be fined £25,000 for receiving six bookings or more in a single match and further ramifications are expected following the match.Gallagher joined Rob Wotton and Rachel Wyse on Sky Sports Now for a Ref Watch special to go through all the contentious incidents from Stamford Bridge...INCIDENT: Cesc Fabregas appears to kick out at Mousa Dembele Cesc Fabregas appears to kick out at Mousa Dembele SCENARIO: Chelsea are attacking and Fabregas plays a one-two with Diego Costa. After receiving the return pass, Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld intercepts and clears, with Fabregas falling to the ground. He becomes trapped under Dembele, who steps over him and runs upfield. Fabregas flicks out his right foot and aims a kick at Dembele but does not make contact and no action is taken.GALLAGHER SAYS: Its a petty thing that Mark didnt see. I think its interesting - when you look back on this game, I dont think any Premier League referee will have a tougher match in the next 24 years. I think thats the toughest game Ive seen in the last 24 for a referee. It was a tough, tough test. The referee realised the stakes, the emotions and everything. I think hes tried to referee the occasion, stand back and let the players play the game. Hes at the behest of the players and they didnt buy in to what he wanted to do and thats why he had to come in really tough at the end. To come out with 12 yellow cards at the end of the match is really extraordinary.INCIDENT: Kyle Walker appears to kick out at Pedro Kyle Walker kicks out at Pedro after bundling him over SCENARIO: Tottenham are attacking and Pedro manages to get himself between Walker and the ball. With the players positioned a few yards up the touchline from the goal line, the former Barcelona player tries to shield the ball out for a goal kick but is bundled over by Walker before it gets that far. The assistant referee flags for a free kick to Chelsea and it is awarded, with Walker then kicking Pedros right ankle in frustration before turning and retreating back downfield.GALLAGHER SAYS: This is the same as before. Its a show of such petulance. You look back at when David Beckham was sent off for a petulant kick at Diego Simeone and everybody said: Was it worth that? I think on this occasion, the referee has tried to reason with the players and asked them to calm down. What he didnt want to do was go too heavy and end up with three or four yellow cards early, then end up having two red cards before half-time where were saying its a big showpiece game and the referee has ruined it because were now playing without 11 against 11.INCIDENT: Diego Costa clashes with Jan Vertonghen Jan Vertonghen and Diego Costa clash SCENARIO: Costa receives a pass from midfield on the halfway line as Chelsea attack and quickly has Vertonghen challenging behind him, using his arms for leverage and grabbing the striker on his left arm and right shoulder. Costa played a pass out wide looking for Willian which deflects away for a Chelsea throw, then the Spaniard immediately reacts to Vertonghen by pushing his arm into him, motioning his head towards his opponent then protesting to the referee that his shirt was being pulled.GALLAGHER SAYS: Again, he (Clattenburg) has tried to deal with it. Hes seen the shirt pull and could easily have given both players a yellow card for the pulling back or the reaction but we look at things in isolation. At this point in the game, it is really starting to bubble up and the referee has to be careful hes picking up the right challenges, the ones that really are reckless and are dangerous and using excessive force rather than the ones that are petulant. There were a lot of petulant, niggly fouls in this game and if he set his tolerance level too low, we wouldnt be looking at 12 yellow cards - wed be looking at more.INCIDENT: Danny Rose clashes with Willian Danny Rose and Willian square up to each other after a bad tackle from the Tottenham full-back SCENARIO: Chelsea are attacking on the right flank and Willian receives a pass before trying to cut back inside with the ball. Rose closes him down strongly and appears to take the Chelsea player out with his left arm. Willian falls to the ground but immediately gets up and goes towards Rose, who pushes him in the chest. Willian responds by pushing him back, then Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino steps on to the pitch and pushes the two players apart, something which sparks a mass brawl with players from both sides pushing and shoving.GALLAGHER SAYS: There comes a turning point, doesnt there? When you play football, you have a game plan and if the game plan isnt working, you have to alter it. There was a turning point in this game where the referee had set out to try to deal with things without yellow cards but there came a point where he realised the players werent allowing him to do that and this was it.INCIDENT: Mousa Dembele appears to gouge Diego Costas eye Mousa Dembele appears to reach towards Diego Costas eye during a mass brawl involving both teams SCENARIO: In the aftermath of the collision between Rose and Willian, several players and officials from both sides are pushing each other. Dembele and Costa come together and each has an arm around the others waist, before Dembele then reaches up and appears to reach towards Costas eye. The incident happens in front of assistant referee Simon Beck but no action is taken against Dembele.GALLAGHER SAYS: The assistant is there to see who is the aggressor. The interesting thing with retrospective action is for an action unseen by any of the four match officials. If the FA ask if any of them saw it and they say yes, they cant take action. What you would like to consider is if he had seen that, he is duty bound to flag that up to the referee. Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher believes Mousa Dembele will not play again this season after being caught eye gouging Diego Costa We have to think he has looked to see who has come a long way, who has been the instigator, who has got involved and who is being aggressive and who is being a peacemaker. In a lot of those instances there, the person might appear in a still photo to be pushing and shoving but hes actually trying to stop things. Simon Beck has gone there to take up that position but we dont really know what he has seen. Its only when the FA speaks to him that what he saw will come out.INCIDENT: Diego Costa and Kyle Walker clash Diego Costa and Kyle Walker get tangled up after colliding in Tottenhams penalty area SCENARIO: Chelsea are attacking on the left flank with Costa in possession and he uses good upper body strength to cut into the penalty area under severe pressure from Walker, who is being equally physical. Walker does enough to stop Costa from taking the ball any further and the two fall over, tangling with each other for a few seconds on the ground before getting back up. Clattenburg specifically hangs back to keep observing the incident from close range before choosing not to take any action.GALLAGHER SAYS: I think the referee is so close that hes the best judge of this. He was what? Six or seven yards away? Thats one thing the referee did - any incident that happened, he was right there and you can see from the way he has walked away, it would imply he didnt feel any action was needed. I dont think that was a particularly nasty one.INCIDENT: Erik Lamela appears to stand on Cesc Fabregas hand Erik Lamela stands on Cesc Fabregas hand as he walks past him SCENARIO: Fabregas is down on his hands and knees in front of the Tottenham technical area when Lamela - already on a yellow card by this point - appears to stand on the Spaniards hand. Fabregas reacts by writhing in obvious pain, with Lamela turning and looking intolerant at the way he has acted.GALLAGHER SAYS: The pictures are quite damning, arent they? We can all see what has happened. The interesting thing is that when you see it again, Simon Beck - the assistant referee - is looking straight through the incident and he hasnt picked it up. At the point when Mark Clattenburg went over to ask him, if he says he hasnt seen it, then thats a possible case the FA can refer to. If he says he has seen it, again its case closed. What I would say is if he has seen it, you would expect him to flag it up to the referee and for the referee to act upon it.INCIDENT: Eric Dier is booked for fouling Eden Hazard Eric Dier was booked for his foul on Eden Hazard SCENARIO: Hazard is trying to make progress across the field from left to right and Dier comes across him, timing his tackle badly and taking the Belgian out with his left foot. Clattenburg issues a yellow card to the Tottenham player.GALLAGHER SAYS: I think it is a yellow card. A lot of people have said to me its more than that but when you see it again, its a yellow card. It was reckless but nothing more.INCIDENT: Eric Dier avoids a booking for his tackle on Cesc Fabregas Dier avoided punishment for this late challenge on Cesc Febregas SCENARIO: Lamela loses possession and a loose ball breaks with Fabregas and Dier both pursuing it. Fabregas gets a touch on it first and plays a pass towards Hazard, before Dier comes in and tackles with his left foot, connecting with Fabregas right ankle after the ball has been played. Clattenburg waves play on to allow Chelsea the advantage they have in possession and Ryan Mason takes Hazard out, earning himself a booking.GALLAGHER SAYS: You cant defend Dier here. I really dont know what was on the referees mind here because this is the one decision of the night I cant understand. Its such a bad tackle and the referee is looking straight at it but he chooses to play on. I think thats very unwise and he (Dier) could easily have got a red card for that. The fact hes already got a yellow card means hes going to get sent off but it doesnt happen. The referee plays the advantage but if youre going to send somebody off, just stop the game because if you do that, thats the end of it. If you play on, you then have the subsequent act, another yellow card and possibly a red too. It could all have been put to bed early on. The mantra of the referee and how were taught is if you see an offence where a players going to be dismissed from the field, just blow your whistle because then there is no argument whatsoever. Why stop play to send off two players when you can stop it in the first place and send off one? When the referee plays an advantage, theres only one person taking a risk and thats the referee.INCIDENT: Players and staff from both teams clash approaching the tunnel after the full-time whistle A mass brawl broke out at full-time between players and staff from both sides SCENARIO: As players from both sides leave the pitch, a mass fight breaks out. A number of figures including Tottenham manager Pochettino, left-back Rose and Chelseas Costa are caught up in it. Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink - trying to act as a peacemaker and get his players off the pitch - is also pushed backwards and falls down a couple of stairs.GALLAGHER SAYS: The referees jurisdiction still applies here, definitely, and if you watch the pictures, hes at the back monitoring and his assistants are doing the same. What theyre doing is keeping an eye so they can make their own notes and then once they were back in the dressing room, they will have discussed what they saw. The big thing here is to say Ive seen this and Ive seen that but you must look at the DVD to see what I cant see. Theres a fair chance none of the match officials will know who pushed Hiddink or what happened in that situation because they could only see the people at the back.
