EVANSTON, Ill. -- Vic Law scored a career-high 26 points -- his second straight game establishing a new mark -- to lead Northwestern to an 86-72 victory over Eastern Washington Monday night in a Legends Classic opening-round game.Law, who had 19 points in the season opener, was 7-for-13 from the field. Bryant McIntosh had 18 points and Scottie Lindsey and Dererk Pardon each added 12 as Northwestern improved to 2-0.Bogdan Bliznyuk led Eastern Washington (1-1) with 25 points on 10-for-18 shooting. He had 20 points on 8-for-13 shooting in the first half.Jacob Wiley added 19 points on 8-for-11 shooting for the Eagles.Bliznyuk had four points and took only three shots in the season-opening win over Division III Linfield.Northwestern quickly jumped out to a 15-point lead (24-9) less than nine minutes into the game and it appeared a second straight blow out was in order following the 94-63 opening win over Mississippi Valley State.But Eastern fought back and pulled within 42-36 in the final minute of the first half. The Eagles were within six points (53-47) early in the second half, but that was as close as they would get -- although Northwestern never was able to open a comfortable margin.BIG PICTUREEWU: The Eagles were picked to finish fifth in the Big Sky in a preseason poll of media covering the conference following last season 18-16 finish. If nothing else, this is a scrappy bunch that played physical on both ends and refused to quit after falling behind early on the road against a Power 5 conference team.Northwestern: Although the season is only two games old, Law cleared as emerged as the Wildcats best player. The redshirt sophomore, who missed all of last season following shoulder surgery, has the versatile game and athleticism to be a threat every night.UP NEXTEastern Washington plays at Texas on Thursday in a game thats also a part of the Legends Classic.Following a pair of home wins, Northwestern plays its first road game Thursday at Butler. Kenley Jansen Jersey . 9. Price, heading to the 2014 Olympics for Canada, was named the First Star after posting wins in three starts with a 1.00 goals-against average and a .971 save percentage. Joc Pederson Jersey .ca. Kerry, Just watched the shootout in the Coyotes/Leafs game and I have to ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count? All of the video replays we were shown on TV were inconclusive about whether the puck had entirely crossed the line or not. http://www.baseballdodgersprostore.com/dodgers-adrian-gonzalez-jersey/ . Ancelotti says Ronaldo has recovered from a hamstring injury but "but he doesnt feel comfortable yet so we wont risk him." Madrid is third in the Spanish league, six points behind leader Barcelona, going into Saturdays game against Valladolid. Chris Taylor Jersey .R. Smith realized how easily basketball can be taken from him, and he wasnt going to take his place in the NBA for granted anymore. Tony Watson Jersey . "Four now," Carl Gunnarsson told the Leaf Report proudly following a 5-2 victory over New York on Tuesday night, the clubs fifth straight at home. CHICAGO -- From their torrid start to their dreadful slump and sudden resurgence, it sure has been a wild season for the Chicago White Sox.They are looking better as the All-Star break approaches.Miguel Gonzalez pitched five-hit ball over seven innings and the White Sox beat the New York Yankees 5-0 on Wednesday night.The White Sox have won six of eight and 11 of 16. They took two of three from the Yankees and won their fifth straight series.Thats more like it for a team that led the AL Central at 23-10 before going into a huge tailspin.Everybody seems to be contributing in one way or another and its nice, manager Robin Ventura said. Were playing better baseball, its that simple. Were playing all-around better baseball.The White Sox bounced back after getting blanked for the fifth time and handed the Yankees their fifth shutout.Tim Anderson capped a four-run second with a two-run double off Michael Pineda (3-8). Gonzalez (2-4) took it from there.He matched his longest outing of the season and shut down New York after it pounded out a season-high 20 hits in Tuesdays 9-0 romp.Gonzalez, who went seven innings in a loss at Houston last week, struck out three and walked one. The right-hander was 0-3 with a 7.25 ERA in his previous four starts.Zach Duke worked 1 1/3 innings, and David Robertson got the final two outs, striking out Chase Headley with runners on second and third to end the game.I think that we learned from our success early on, we learned from our failures last month, Adam Eaton said.Jacoby Ellsbury and Didi Gregorious each had three hits for New York. But the Yankees (41-43) missed a chance to reach the .500 mark and dropped to 2-4 on a 10-game trip that takes them to the All-Star break.We cant get over the hump, manager Joe Girardi said. We cant play consistent enough to get over the hump and get to five games over, get to 10 games over and its a number of different things. Its pitching at times. Its swinging the bats at times. You look at the two games here and we didnt hit with runners on and that was the difference.Pineda, who had a 2.75 ERA in six June starts, gave up five runs and five hits in six innings.The White Sox did most of their scoring in the second, pounding out four runs after Pineda retired the first two batters.ddddddddddddBrett Lawrie singled to ignite the rally and scored from second on a base hit by Avisail Garcia, who came in on a 6-for-46 slump. J.B. Shuck added an RBI ground-rule double to left, putting runners on second and third, and Anderson followed with a double to left that made it 4-0.NO BATTING PRACTICEBoth teams were forced to cancel batting practice after a pipe on the third-base side cracked. Workers dug a trench on the foul side of the base, though it was filled in by the time the game started.If we lose a player in a sink hole ..., Girardi said. Maybe one of their players should walk over it first.SALES PITCHWhite Sox ace Chris Sale was very appreciative after joining Billy Pierce as the only White Sox pitchers to make five straight AL All-Star teams. He also said it would be such a thrill to start, a possibility considering he leads the majors with 14 wins.Ive always been there and seen the start of the game and just everything that goes into it, he said. I would be thrilled to do that.TRAINERS ROOMYankees: Carlos Beltran was back at designated hitter after playing the outfield Tuesday for the first time in a week. He has been bothered by a tight right hamstring. The issue is not gone, so hes probably going to DH more than the outfield for a little bit, Girardi said. Girardi also said he thinks Beltran will be able to play in the All-Star Game after being selected for the ninth time.White Sox: The White Sox hope to get C Alex Avila (strained right hamstring) back during their series against Detroit at home July 21-24 after placing him on the 15-day disabled list on Wednesday.UP NEXTYankees: New York opens a four-game series at AL Central leader Cleveland, with RHP Ivan Nova (5-5, 5.06 ERA) starting for the Yankees and RHP Trevor Bauer (7-2, 3.02) pitching for the Indians.White Sox: Sale (14-2, 2.93) goes for his 15th win as the White Sox open a three-game series against Atlanta on Friday.

r years of damaging interceptions

I try to gravitate to great people who I see do great things. But theres one condition: You can be a great athlete, but if youre not a great person, I dont want to be in the same room with you.With Tatyana McFadden, whenever I see her, I cross the room to say hello. As accomplished as she is, she is very down-to-earth, unassuming and fun to be around. I believe, because of her spirit, she pulls people to her.Make no mistake, she is fiercely competitive and has a laserlike focus. When you peel back the layers of her story of how she was adopted from an orphanage in Russia and has overcome numerous challenges, you start understanding why Tatyana has this strong determination. Its a type that says, I will not be denied. I will find a way.For me and Tatyana, our backgrounds are to never be forgotten. Because some people try to erase your history or where you came from. You cant do that, because that is the link that gives you the sparkle. But what I went through as a person and an athlete doesnt even scratch the surface of what she has gone through. Its motivating on so many levels.I tell young people all the time: As long as you believe, you can turn a doubter into a believer, but youve got to believe first. No matter what people say, no matter how the odds are stacked up against you, as a competitor, you find a way to get it done.Thats what Tatyana has done time and time again. Her greatness will not be denied. She is so consistent and her longevity is remarkable. You talk about dedication. Its dedication on top of dedication! When you see Tatyana and you see what she does, it might appear to be easy, but anything that appears to be easy is extremely difficult. There are long hours of training involved.Her achievements are a testament to her willingness to want to compete at that high level, and not training for what she accomplished last year or yesterday. Shes willing to put herself in a position to always be the target, because when youre the best, everyone is coming for you.It says a lot not only about her physical capability, but her mental capability as well.Along with her strong determination, she is so appreciative. Ive been in sports for a long time and sometimes athletes lose a sense of humbleness when theyre achieving great success. Not Tatyana. She has won 17 Paralympic medals and swept the four major marathons this year -- for the fourth consecutive year, no less -- yet remains the same humble person shes always been. Thats what I see and respect in her.I think of Tatyana as a champion. Simply put, she is the best. Its inspiring for me to even know her.More on Tatyana McFadden?

Explore the 2016 list and more content at espnW.com/IMPACT25. Brian Leetch Jersey .Y. -- Bills receiver Stevie Johnson has a bone to pick with the NFL schedule maker. Brady Skjei Jersey . The visitors took a deserved lead in the 16th minute with midfielder Yohan Cabaye curling the ball beyond Adrian from inside the penalty area. http://www.wholesalenewyorkrangersjerseys.com/?tag=cheap-mats-zuccarello-jersey . LOUIS -- Cardinals cleanup hitter Allen Craig says hes recovered from a foot injury and ready to be put on St. Sergei Nemchinov Jersey . Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006. Mark Messier Jersey . Olli Jokinen, Mark Scheifele, and Bryan Little each had a goal and an assist as Winnipeg won 5-2, handing Calgary its record-setting seventh consecutive loss on home ice. In a video sent to teams this week, NFL senior vice president of officiating Dean Blandino said the uptick in taunting and unsportsmanlike conduct penalties this season was meant to strengthen the example that the league sets for lower levels of football.The bottom line is that theres many, many kids out there that are NFL fans that are playing football, Blandino said in the video, and they see our athletes and they mimic what they do. We wouldnt want some of these things out on the youth football field. We have a high standard in the NFL, and were going to maintain that standard.Through the first four weeks of the season, taunting penalties increased by 220 percent compared to the same period in 2015. All unsportsmanlike conduct penalties are up 55.6 percent, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said this week that he hoped to gain clarity from the league so that star receiver Antonio Brown could avoid penalties after being flagged (and fined) twice this season for sexually suggestive touchdown celebrations.The video was part of a weekly video series the league produces for teams. The taunting/unsportsmanlike conduct content was identical to the video the league distributes to the public on Friday afternoons, a league spokesman confirmed.Blandino, who says in tthe video that sportsmanship and player safety are really the two top priorities in the game today, ran through a series of examples to explain what would and will would be penalized.dddddddddddd He says the league is not trying to legislate emotion out of the game but wants to eliminate:Anything directed at an opponentAnything that mimics a violent act ... or weaponryCelebrations that are sexually suggestiveChoreographed celebrations that include more than one teammate, use the ball as a prop or include the player going to the ground.If we let this go, Blandino says in the video, it will continue to build and certain players will continue to try to outdo each other. Then it leads to other things. Then it leads to confrontations. It leads to stomping on logos; it leads to players hitting players for stomping on logos. So weve just got to continue to maintain the standard of sportsmanship and the professionalism that the NFL stands for.Legal celebrations, Blandino says, include:Spiking (as long as it is not directed at an opponent)Bowing to the crowdSaluting to the groundHugsFinally, Blandino says: This may seem crazy, but you can just hand the ball to the official. Thats fine, too. NFL Jerseys From China Jerseys From China Cheap Jerseys Store Cheap Jerseys China Cheap Authentic Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys Store ' ' '

PHOENIX -- Matt Kemp has had some big hits in his many trips to Chase Field in his many seasons in the NL West. He had another one Tuesday night.Kemps two-out, bases loaded double in the eighth inning erased a one-run Arizona lead and the Atlanta Braves beat the Diamondbacks 7-4 in the second game of a matchup of teams with the two worst records in the National League.Its a nice field, a nice backdrop, he said. You see the ball well. Ive played here a lot so Ive got some experience here.Kemp earned two RBI with the hit and a third run scored when right fielder Mitch Haniger bobbled the ball.Those are situations you want to be in, said Kemp, who also had a sacrifice fly.He said hes enjoying himself since he was acquired by Atlanta from San Diego on July 30, despite the Braves record.The guys here are good. They treat me well, he said. Were having as much fun as we can in the situation that were in.Kemps three RBI gave him 83 for the season.Hes been there, done that, Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said. You know, hes an RBI guy.Adonis Garcia had three hits, including a double, and scored twice for the Braves, who have won two of three after losing seven straight. Dansby Swanson, the former No. 1 draft pick by Arizona now with the Braves, singled twice and earned his first major league RBI with a sacrifice fly in the ninth.Jose Ramirez (2-0) allowed a hit and hit a batter but struck out the side in the seventh to get the victory. Jake Barrett (1-2) took the loss.I just feel it was the one pitch that hurt me and that was to Kemp, he said. I tried to throw inside and missed away.Jim Johnson pitched a scoreless ninth for his 11th save.Jake Lamb doubled in two runs and Yasmany Tomas singled in two in Arizonas four-run third inning. Lamb also doubled in the eighth, breaking out of a 2-for-47 slump. Tomas left the game in the eighth with mid-back stiffness.Atlanta starter Rob Whalen held Arizona hitless through 2 2/3 innings but never made it out of the third.With two outs, he walked three batters, the last two on full counts, to load the bases for Tomas. After the two-run single, Whalen hit Welington Castillo to load them again and bring up Lamb, who laced a two-run ground-rule double into the Braves bullpen down the right field line and Arizona led 4-2.That was it for Whalen in his fifth major league start.The Braves, who scored five in the first inning in Monday nights 9-8 loss, scored two in the first Tuesday, and Arizona starter Archie Bradley was fortunate it wasnt more.Nick Markakis singled in one run and Tyler Flowers doubled in another. Jace Peterson walked to load the bases but Swanson struck out looking to end the threat.Garcia doubled to start the fourth, took third on a groundout and scored on Kemps fly out to center to slice the Diamondbacks lead to 4-3.The Braves loaded the bases with one out in the third but failed to score. In all, Atlanta stranded eight runners in the first three innings.Freddie Freeman of the Braves went 0 for 3 to snap an 11-game hitting streak.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks: Manager Chip Hale said OF A.J. Pollock (wrist surgery) will be activated on Friday and will immediately be in the lineup.UP NEXT:Braves: RHP Julio Tehran (2-3, 4.89) gets the start in the third game of the four-game series. Tehran was the last Braves starter to go more than six innings -- on July 17.Diamondbacks: RHP Zack Greinke (11-4, 4.21) makes his first home start since June 28. He allowed two runs in seven innings in his last start, at San Diego, but got no decision. Karl Mecklenburg Jersey . Aduriz headed home Markel Susaetas cross in the sixth minute to open the scoring at San Mames Stadium. He bettered that with a long-range blast that went in off the goal frame in the 18th, and converted a penalty in the 72nd after Diego Mainz was sent off for fouling Aduriz with only the goalkeeper to beat. Jared Crick Jersey . SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. http://www.authenticnflshopbroncos.com/authentic-dennis-smith-jersey.html . -- Charline Labonte couldnt have asked for a better homecoming. Peyton Manning Jersey . 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. Custom Denver Broncos Jerseys . The phone hearing is scheduled for 4:30pm et/1:30pm pt. Winchester, who was not penalized for the hit, appeared to make contact with Kellys head early in the first period of Thursdays game in Boston. LOUDON, N.H. -- NASCAR, in an attempt to prevent teams from cheating and limit postrace talk to what happens on the race track, issued a stern warning to its drivers and crew chiefs at their prerace meeting Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.The warning followed a frustrating week for the sport in which the Chicagoland Speedway race-winning car of Martin Truex Jr. and the 12th-place car of Jimmie Johnson failed postrace rear alignment measurements by the smallest amount in NASCARs three-tiered punishment system.Because the typical 10-point penalty might not have impacted Truex -- whose win counts toward advancing to the quarterfinal round of the Chase but could have severely impacted Johnsons ability to advance -- NASCAR decided Wednesday to wipe away the two lower tiers of its punishment system retroactive to Chicagoland and did not penalize Truex nor Johnson.At the prerace drivers meeting Sunday, NASCAR Executive Vice President Steve ODonnell told the driivers and crew chiefs:I want to make clear to everybody here that in NASCARs judgment, any measures that are taken to circumvent what happens for postrace inspection, we are going to react.dddddddddddd We know thats subjective. But ask all of you not to put it in our hands because we will react if we have to. I think everybody knows what that means. We want to concentrate on the race. ... We couldnt be more clear. I hope everybody agrees with that.A NASCAR spokesman said afterward that certainly could include a driver weaving the car after the race on the cool-down lap. Drivers have been weaving the car to allow parts and pieces -- designed to move when at speed and under loads -- to settle to go over the tech platform.NASCAR could react with points penalties, fines, suspensions or the elimination of practice time in upcoming races.

Test matches in Australia will be in need of a new naming rights sponsor from mid-2017 after it was revealed that Commonwealth Banks new $15 million deal to support diversity in the game over the next three years is in fact a reduction of the banks investment in cricket by more than a third.The previous deal between the bank and Cricket Australia, announced in May 2013, was set to last four years to a value of no less than about $50 million. It included name sponsorship rights to the Australian Test team playing at home and home Test series. But ESPNcricinfo has been told this will not be renewed beyond July next year.Commonwealth Bank remains a proud partner of Cricket Australia and is excited to rebalance its sponsorship to help even up the gender and diversity scales in professional sport, a Commonwealth Bank spokesperson said. On top of the initiatives announced yesterday, we will continue to support the Test series until July 2017 and throughout the upcoming summer series.At the time it was a significant expansion of the banks role in support of Australian cricket, for its previous deal had covered the Southern Stars womens team and grassroots competitions for a far less significant sum. It arrived at a febrile time for the game down under also, with Mickey Arthur about to be sacked as coach and replaced by Darren Lehmann ahead of back-to-back Ashes series.Over the last 26 years we have been involved with Australias favourite sport from grassroots to grandstands, the Commonwealth Bank chief executive Ian Narev said at the time. Test Cricket is the pinnacle of Australian cricket, so we are proud to strengthen our commitment to the game by becoming the new sponsor of the Australian Test team and Test series.The bank was duly the beneficiary when a team clad in their logos not only won the Ashes 5-0 at home but also went on to win 2-1 in South Africa. Qantas subsequently took up sponsorship of Australian touring teams. Vodafone had previously been the naming rights sponsor for home Tests, a deal that began in 2010.The rebalance of the banks sponsorship will now be directed at womens cricket, indigenous players, players with a disability and local clubs. However the downgrade in financial investment will also leave a shortfall for CAs commercial and financial divisions to have to work through unless the next Test match naming rights sponsor can match or improve on the 2013 deal.We have had excellent partnerships with CBA over nearly three decades, and we welcome their continuing involvement in Australias favourite sport, the CA chief executive James Sutherland said when announcing the new deal. It is significant that they, like Cricket Australia, wish to be deeply involved in supporting and promoting the diversity of our community.We have taken this opportunity to review our sponsorship structure, and have decided to separate Naming Rights Sponsorship for the mens international team and the series itself, a CA spokesman said. This means that, from summer 2017-18, the mens team will have one naming rights sponsor, and the Test series will have another. Next year will be an Ashes series, which presents a very attractive proposition for any of our existing or potential partners.We have already tested this proposition with the market, where we have received a very enthusiastic response. An association with the Australian mens cricket team is clearly a highly attractive proposition for corporate Australia and we anticipate that this rebalancing of the portfolio will lead to significant revenue growth in corporate sponsorship. We have full confidence that we will have new commercial partners in due course. Matt Martin Jersey . The news was first reported on Gonzalezs Twitter account and confirmed by the Rockies. Gonzalez has a six-week window before position players have their first workout at spring training in Arizona. Dennis Seidenberg Jersey . Tracey comes to the Blue Bombers after spending over a decade with Queens University.

New York Islanders Jerseys . Louis Rams wide receiver Stedman Bailey last Sunday. The fine is the fourth this season for Goldson. He was fined $30,000 for a hit on the New York Jets Jeff Cumberland in Week 1. Shane Prince Jersey . Capitals head coach Adam Oates said Ovechkin was injured in the first period against the Vancouver Canucks on Monday and clarified it was not a head injury. WASHINGTON -- The Milwaukee Brewers were charged with batting out of order in the first inning of Mondays game against the Washington Nationals.With two outs, Ryan Braun singled off Max Scherzer, and Nationals manager Dusty Baker immediately came out to talk to plate umpire Cory Blaser.The umpires conferred briefly, and the third out was called. Jonathan Lucroy was charged with the at-bat and an out, and Braun led off the secondd inning.ddddddddddddOn the lineup distributed in the press box, Braun was indeed listed third -- his regular position in the batting order -- and Lucroy was fourth. But apparently that was not the case on the card handed to the umpires before the game.Braun grounded out leading off the second inning.

HOMESTEAD, Fla. -- A hard crash with 10 laps remaining in the Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway crumpled up?Carl Edwards Toyota as badly as his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship hopes.It also paved the way for Jimmie Johnson to claim his record-tying seventh Cup series title.Running second late in Sundays race, Edwards aggressively moved to block?Joey Loganos Team Penske Ford on a Lap 257 restart, only for the two cars to make contact as they speared toward the inside wall on the approach to Turn 1.Logano slowed but regained control of his car and continued with minor damage, while Edwards car shot backward up the track to be knocked slightly airborne by?Kasey Kahnes Chevrolet.Six other cars were swept in, including Martin Truex Jr.s Toyota, which briefly caught fire. None of the drivers were injured.The race was red-flagged for 31 minutes and 9 seconds.Edwards immediately radioed his crew to take responsibility for the accident, saying, Thats 100 percent on me.Edwards also stopped at Loganos pit to apologize to crew chief Todd Gordon and the No. 22 team.I just pushed the issue as far as I could because I figured that was the race there, Edwards said of the pivotal restart. Joey just timed it perfectly, he moved down. I was probably a little optimistic, but I thought I could clear him or force him to lift.I just thought I had just a little more time, but he drove down as far as a guy could be expected to drive down, and thats how it ended.Edwards was classified 34th, last among the four championship contenders in the Homestead race. Logano, meanwhile, pitted for repairs and fresh tires and quickly tore through the field from eighth place to third on the subsequent restart, only for the caution flag to fly again.Logano was not positioned well for the final restart, and he finished the race in fourth place, second in the championship to Johnson. Kyle Busch, the remaining title contender, ended up sixth in the race and third in championship.Anytime you put so much on the line and you have a late-race restart, you know its gonna get crazy. Then you add two or three [restarts] on top of that and its gonna get crazier, Logano remarked.I understand why he had to throw that block, and he understands why I had to make the move, because that was for the win, Logano added. Its the only move I had, and Im not going to look back at it and second-guess that move. That was the only play I had.Despite the damaged car, Logano still had a shot at winning the race and the championship thanks to quick work by his pit crew. But once out front, Johnson drove away to a relatively unchallenged victory.We just came up a little bit short, and it hurts, Logano said. When Carl and I got into each other there, it just pretty much parted the seas for the 48 [Johnson] to run through there and gain a couple spots and put himself in position to win.He was in the right place at the right time, and that was good for him. John Matuszak Jersey . Pierce was ejected in the third quarter of Indianas 103-86 win Monday. George Hill stole a bad pass and was going in for a layup, and Pierce hustled back and appeared to be trying to wrap him up. Ronnie Lott Jersey . With their top three point guards and Kobe Bryant all sidelined by injury, the Lakers signed Marshall out of the D-League on Friday before their home game against Minnesota. http://www.officialauthenticraidersstore.com/authentic-gabe-jackson-jersey.html . Andreas Johnson had a goal and two assists while Jacob de la Rose also scored for Sweden (2-0-0). Esa Lindell and Rasmus Ristolainen replied for Finland (1-1-0) Lindell opened the scoring for Finland just 41 seconds into the game, but the hosts quickly regained their composure and tied the score less than four minutes later on Wennbergs first of the game. Oakland Raiders Jerseys . Oyama had six birdies and two bogeys at Kintetsu Kashikojima in the event also sanctioned by the Japan LPGA Tour. "I have been having this neck ache thats been affecting my golf recently," Oyama said. Tim Brown Jersey . "Thank you for the warm welcome," Beckham said on an 80-degree February morning. In this case, it was soccer weather. The sport moved a step closer to returning to South Florida on Wednesday, when Beckham confirmed he has exercised his option to purchase a Major League Soccer expansion franchise in Miami.

The Atlanta Dream ended the Los Angeles Sparks quest to record the best start to a WNBA season the last time the two teams met. The Dream could deliver another blow to the Sparks on Thursday, when they visit Staples Center in a big game for both teams playoff seeding.The Sparks fell off their first-place perch after dropping a low-scoring slugfest with the Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday. Los Angeles fell behind early, suffered through a third-quarter scoring drought and couldnt complete a fourth-quarter comeback in a 77-74 loss to the Lynx, who moved into sole possession of first place.The loss snapped the Sparks three-game win streak and continued their uneven performance since returning from the Olympic break. Los Angeles is just 3-3 since the break.The Dream (15-14) are coming off a 91-87 win over the Phoenix Mercury on Tuesday. It was a bounce-back win for Atlanta, which lost to the Seattle Storm at home over the weekend.Sometimes it takes a difficult loss, like the last game against Seattle, to turn things around, Atlanta coach Michael Cooper told reporters. Obviously, we want to go out and win every game we play but that game really let us know that we have to keep our focus and come and play with energy in every single game.

oard, and after consecutive doubles

Erstellt 16.04.2018 11:23 von MJL456 16.04.2018 11:23 In der Kategorie Allgemein.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers functioned just fine after he strained his right calf muscle early in last Sundays win over the Seattle Seahawks, and the Green Bay Packers ailing quarterback expects hell do the same this Sunday in Chicago against the Bears.But he also knows hell do it with some discomfort.Itll be about pain management on Sunday, but the good thing is Ill be out there, Rodgers said. Ill be out there and ready.Rodgers did not practice on Wednesday, marking the first time this season hes been held out of an entire practice. The previous two weeks, he had been limited but still took some reps each day despite a left hamstring injury that dates to the Nov. 28 game at Philadelphia. This time, he was a full DNP on the injury report.Ive dealt with a lot of injuries over the years, and you just learn about pain management and how to keep yourself in the best shape to play on Sunday, and then playing with pain, Rodgers said. Obviously, I hurt it on the third play of the game and had to gut it out through some very difficult pain speaking to me at times and obviously slowing me down with some of the stuff Im good at moving in the pocket or outside the pocket.Rodgers strained the calf muscle on his other leg late in the 2014 season but did not miss any starts then, either. Coach Mike McCarthy said earlier on Wednesday that Rodgers told him not to hold anything out of this weeks game plan.But that doesnt mean Rodgers will be able to handle all the movement that he normally would on scrambles and designed roll-out plays. Im very optimistic by nature, Rodgers said. So we can always take things out. Its harder to add things back in. So get everything in, and if theres anything weve got to take out on Sunday, well do that.McCarthy said Rodgers may not practice on Thursday, either, and given that the team doesnt practice on Fridays during a normal week, the only other chance Rodgers would get to be on the field before kickoff would come during Saturdays short practice.It gives you more time to watch film, because youre in there doing rehab on your lower extremities, Rodgers said. Last week with the hamstring and this week with the calf, you get a little more extra time on the film. So you use your time as wisely as possible, but Im here a lot anyway. Riley Reiff Jersey . -- The proud fathers huddled near the Dallas Stars dressing room, smiling, laughing and telling stories while wearing replica green sweaters of their sons team. Stefon Diggs Jersey . Rousey will put her perfect 8-0 record and hardware on the line against another undefeated fighter, 7-0 Sara McMann in the main event of UFC 170, which will be held at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas Nevada on February 22nd. http://www.officialauthenticvikingsshop.com/authentic-tom-johnson-jersey.html . -- Charlie Graham stopped 67 shots as the Belleville Bulls edged the visiting Guelph Storm 6-5 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action. Dalvin Cook Jersey . A big centre with all the tools to be an elite player, Johansen paced the Blue Jackets with a standout game Saturday night. He had a goal and two assists for a career-high three points as Columbus beat the New York Islanders 5-2 to snap a five-game losing streak. Minnesota Vikings Jerseys . Brandon Morrow allowed five runs on six hits over three innings. He struck out two, walked one and hit a batter. Edwin Encarnacion had a two-out, bases loaded two-RBI double in the third inning. DENVER -- The Tampa Bay Rays waited 41 days to end their road futility, so a couple extra hours didnt bother them.When they finally got going, it didnt take long to seize control.Blake Snell waited out severe weather to hold Colorado to one hit over six strong innings, Evan Longoria homered and drove in three runs and Tampa Bay beat the Rockies 10-1 on Tuesday night to end an 11-game road losing streak.Snell (2-4) struck out nine and Matt Andriese pitched the final three innings for his first save. Steve Pearce also homered in his return from the disabled list for the Rays, who ended the third longest road losing streak in club history.It feels good, Snell said. I definitely think were turning it around, pieces are coming back. I feel like were going to get it going.Tampa Bay had dropped 25 of 29 games since June 15 to fall to 23 games under .500.Heavy rain and lightning delayed the start of the game by 2 hours, 1 minute. The late start didnt bother the Rays, who ended the longest road losing streak in the majors this season. Their last road win was June 8 at Arizona.They broke out against Rockies starter Tyler Chatwood (8-6). Longorias RBI single in the first got Tampa Bay on the board, and after consecutive doubles in the third, he launched a mammoth home run onto the concourse in left field that bounced out of Coors Field.The homer, his 22nd, went an estimated 462 feet and gave the Rays a 5-0 lead. It is the longest home run by a Rays player since J.P. Arencibias 464-foot blast at Detroit on Sept. 7, 2015.Thats a bomb in any park, Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash said of Longorias shot. That ball went a long way.They tacked on another run on Kevin Kiermaiers RBI double later in the third and Pearces two-run homer capped a three-run ninth off reliever Gonzalez Germen.Snell didnt allow a run for the first time in his seven starts. The only hit he allowed was a leadoff single by Charlie Blackmon in the fourth,, and he stranded him at third by fanning Nolan Arenado and getting Ryan Raburn to fly out.ddddddddddddeve been extremely positive with everything Blake has done since hes been here, Cash said. This justifies it, this type of outing. Its a little unfair to expect a ton out of a guy making his debut. Today he put it together and we saw the elite pitcher weve heard about for quite some time.Snell said he didnt use his curveball much because he didnt have a good feel for it, so he went to his slider and elevated his fastball to keep Colorados hitters off balance.I feel its a hard pitch to hit, especially when theyre looking down for sliders, Snell said. Fastball up in the zone is hard to get to.Only four Rockies hitters reached base against Snell. Trevor Story spoiled the bid for a shutout with his 23rd homer in the ninth.TRAINERS ROOMRays: Pearce (strained right hamstring) was reinstated from the 15-day disabled list and OF Nick Franklin was optioned to Triple-A Durham. ... RHP Brad Boxberger (oblique) will make another rehab appearance Thursday.Rockies: LHP Chris Rusin (left shoulder strain) allowed one run on four hits in four innings in his second rehab start for Triple-A Albuquerque.HOME COOKEDChatwood has been masterful on the road but has struggled at home this season. The righty is 3-6 with a 6.14 ERA at Coors Field after allowing seven runs in four-plus innings Tuesday night. Conversely, he is 5-0 with a 1.30 ERA on the road.At some point, you got to make an adjustment and I didnt make that adjustment tonight, Chatwood said.UP NEXTTampa Bay righty Chris Archer(4-13) has lost his last six decisions and is one shy of matching his career-high losing streak. Colorado left-hander Jorge De La Rosa (6-6) is 4-2 with a 2.68 in six starts since returning to the rotation on June 14.

Here are his mid-season NBA awards.

Erstellt 16.04.2018 11:23 von MJL456 16.04.2018 11:23 In der Kategorie Allgemein.

While you may be an avid fan of a particular NHL team -- and keep up to date on all the news and rumors regarding that franchise -- there are 29 others playing in 2016-17.As a fantasy owner, it can be a bit daunting to keep tabs on everything.Thats where the Fantasy 30 comes in -- a rundown of the most fantasy-relevant updates on every team. Heres whats happening around around the NHL in Week 2 of the young season.Anaheim Ducks: Although finally armed with a new six-year, $22.8 million deal, Rickard Rakell isnt expected back in Anaheims lineup for another week or so. While securing a work visa tops the to-do list, the 23-year-old forward is also in line for some warm-up practice sessions after missing training camp (and recovering from an appendectomy). But once ready and able, Rakell is expected to muscle his way into a top-six role for the Ducks up front.Arizona Coyotes: Coach Dave Tippett is quickly adopting the practice of shifting his top rookies in and out of the lineup in this seasons early stages. First, young center Dylan Strome sat out the opener, then Christian Dvorak was booted to the press box for Stromes debut a game later. Teen defenseman Jakob Chychrun has been made a healthy scratch as well. It serves fair warning to fantasy owners with these promising young guns on their own respective rosters.Boston Bruins: Recovering from a lower-body issue, Patrice Bergeron is a good bet to make his season debut against the New Jersey Devils on Thursday. If so, look for Bergeron to reclaim his gig as top-line center between Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak, bumping David Backes to the second-line wing.Buffalo Sabres: Three broken ribs mean forward Evander Kane will miss weeks for the Sabres. Without Kane and Jack Eichel -- out a few weeks himself with an ankle injury -- Buffalos top line of Ryan OReilly, Sam Reinhart and Kyle Okposo stands alone as a top permanent trio and reliable source of production for fantasy owners.Calgary Flames: After fumbling his first two starts, Brian Elliott seems up for another shot with his new club in Calgary. But a third straight substandard effort against the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday ensures Chad Johnson, who has been solid in his two appearances, will be back between the pipes to face the St. Louis Blues on Saturday.Carolina Hurricanes: By far Carolinas most effective forward line early on, the top unit of Victor Rask, Jeff Skinner and Lee Stempniak, is in little danger of being broken up. Owned in about a fifth of ESPN.com fantasy leagues, Stempniak -- an underrated guy in coach Bill Peters eyes -- actually leads the team with three goals and two assists in three games. Get on it.Chicago Blackhawks: Veteran Marian Hossa is considered iffy for Fridays contest in Columbus. After scoring his 500th NHL goal, Hossa suffered a lower-body injury in blocking a shot against the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday. Guessing coach Joel Quenneville would rather play it safe with his 37-year-old asset, forward Marcus Kruger is a solid candidate to take over Hossas spot with the man advantage.Colorado Avalanche: On a conditioning assignment with the San Antonio Rampage, Mikko Rantanen (ankle injury) is pegged to rejoin the Avalanche in about a week. Collecting 60 points in 52 AHL games last season, the 19-year-old winger has been considered a threat to crack the Avs top six in 2016-17. Keep an eye on this kid.Columbus Blue Jackets: Although already frustrated with his team on the whole (quelle surprise), coach John Tortorella seems reasonably pleased with the play of rookie blueliner Zach Werenski. Owned in only 18 percent of ESPN.com leagues, the 19-year-old top-pair defenseman already has a goal and an assist (nine shots) in his first two NHL games. Selected eighth overall in 2015, Werenski is also skating on the Blue Jackets top power play.Dallas Stars: Battling illness, Jiri Hudler is expected to miss Thursdays tilt with the Los Angeles Kings in Dallas. However, a return for Saturdays game against the Blue Jackets isnt out of the question. Fellow forward Ales Hemsky (groin) is also eyeing his season debut in the coming week or two. Beyond the No. 1 line of Tyler Seguin, Jamie Benn and Patrick Eaves, the Stars corps of forwards will be in for a significant shuffling once both are able to compete.Detroit Red Wings: Not all NHL backups are weighed equally. Some are limited to seeing exceptionally restricted action behind a healthy and dominant No. 1. Others -- like Detroits Jimmy Howard behind Petr Mrazek -- are more likely to enjoy a higher percentage of starts, particularly if the Red Wings No. 2 continues to stifle the competition like he did in Wednesdays 32-save, 2-1 victory over the Rangers. One game, sure, but Howard was terrific. And the Wings are scheduled to play back-to-back home games this Friday and Saturday.Edmonton Oilers: While Jesse Puljujarvi already has sat as a healthy scratch, Todd McLellan appears reluctant to send the 18-year-old to the AHL anytime soon. Instead, the Oilers head coach believes a consistent environment will help the young Finn adjust to the game on this side of the Atlantic. Of course, that isnt to suggest Puljujarvi is utterly immune from demotion to the minors this season either.Florida Panthers: Generally off the fantasy radar, Denis Malgin merits some attention in dynasty and deep redraft leagues. With Jonathan Huberdeau and Nick Bjugstad on the injured shelf, the diminutive forward is filling in as third-line center and competing on a top power play for the Panthers. Not bad for a 19-year-old with about a seasons worth of elite Swiss league games to his credit.Los Angeles Kings: Hello there. Peter Budaj! Showing up fellow understudy Jeff Zatkoff, who has floundered in relief of No. 1 Jonathan Quick early on, Budaj stopped all nine shots he faced in Tuesdays 6-3 loss to the Wild. That should earn the experienced netminder a subsequent start Thursday against the Stars. And if the veteran can hold his own against Dallas potent offense, the winless Kings are likely to run with Budaj until the wheels falls off. And/or until they trade for someone better (perhaps a demoted Ondrej Pavelec in Winnipeg?). Meanwhile, Quick (groin injury) has opted to skip major surgery and remains out until his loosely projected return in early January.Montreal Canadiens: Barring some sudden setback, Carey Price is in line to start against the Coyotes on Thursday. Down about 7 pounds after fighting the flu, the Canadiens elite netminder says he feels good and is ready to go. Utilize him as you usually would.Minnesota Wild: Perhaps we should start paying greater attention to the Wilds third forward line. According to Michael Russo of the Star-Tribune, center Erik Haula was at his best in Tuesdays 6-3 victory over the Kings, alongside Jason Pominville and Nino Niederreiter. Coach Bruce Boudreau seems to be demanding more than the usual scoring support from his third unit, and perhaps fantasy owners should, too. Also, all three forwards are valid candidates to move up the lineup -- especially Pominville -- if necessary.Nashville Predators: Fantasy owners hoping for a fruitful sophomore season from Miikka Salomaki will have to wait a while; the 23-year-old forward is out six to eight weeks with a broken hand. Salomaki still could be a modest fantasy factor down the road -- if/when more prominent members of the Predators offense fall injured.New Jersey Devils: In a gut punch to fantasy owners who targeted Adam Henrique this offseason, veteran Travis Zajac instead has emerged as the Devils centerman of choice alongside new star winger Taylor Hall (and P.A. Parenteau). Considering such, Zajac should be owned in more than 6 percent of ESPN.com leagues.New York Islanders: Were only a couple weeks in, but forward Josh Bailey appears to be succeeding where P.A. Parenteau (now with the Devils) and Jason Chimera fell short in making it work on a No. 1 forward line with John Tavares and Andrew Ladd. Remember when Bailey was picked ninth overall at the 2008 entry draft? If this top trio remains intact, that selection might finally flush out for the Islanders eight years later. An inexpensive DFS asset worth consideration, the 27-year-old is also largely available in ESPN.com leagues.New York Rangers: Badgered by a hip flexor (read: groin) injury, Daniel Girardi is eyeing a return for the Rangers in the next few days. A modest commodity in only the deepest fantasy leagues, the veteran defenseman wont be hurried in his return, meaning a comeback Saturday in Washington feels improbable.Ottawa Senators: This isnt to propose hes playing next week, next month, next year, or even ever again, but with concussion specialists at the helm, forward Clarke MacArthur is reportedly feeling much better. Not just better but much better. However, since its a fools act to prognosticate recovery from any head injury, well just leave it at that.Philadelphia Flyers: Injuries are never welcome, but this here is somewhat fortuitous timing for the Flyers. With his three-game suspension complete, Brayden Schenn is set to return to Phillys lineup just as Michael Raffl is ruled out for the next two weeks with an upper-body injury. This allows coach Dave Hakstol the luxury of plugging Schenn in Raffls place on the top line with Claude Giroux and Wayne Simmonds, no fuss or muss. Charged up after sitting out over a week, Schenn presents as a particularly appealing DFS play against the Ducks on Thursday.Pittsburgh Penguins: Defenseman Kris Letang is hurt again. This time, the Penguins elite blueliner is listed as day-to-day with an upper-body injury. Look for Justin Schultz or Trevor Daley to anchor Pittsburghs top power play in Letangs stead.San Jose Sharks: Netminder Aaron Dell was impressive in his NHL coming-out party, stopping 20 of 23 shots in Tuesdays 3-2 win over the Islanders. Unfortunately for Dell -- and fantasy owners desperate for any and all goaltending help -- the Sharks arent scheduled to play back-to-back games again until late November. Which means its Martin Jones show between now and then.St. Louis Blues: Recovering ahead of schedule from an elbow injury, Jaden Schwartz is tapped to make his 2016-17 debut on a top line with Alexander Steen and Vladimir Tarasenko, booting David Perron to the third unit with Patrik Berglund. Meanwhile, the cobbled-together second forward line including Paul Stastny, Nail Yakupov and Robby Fabbri should remain intact following Jori Lehteras placement on injured reserve. The Blues are in Edmonton to face Cam Talbot (3.92 GAA/.886 save percentage) and the Oilers on Thursday.Tampa Bay Lightning: As it stands, forward Ryan Callahan appears on pace to return from offseason hip surgery in early November. But with the Lightnings top six humming along nicely, a third-line role is likely in store for the 31-year-old veteran, diluting his fantasy potential -- at least until the injury bug bites.Toronto Maple Leafs: Four games in, netminder Jhonas Enroth is tapped to make his Maple Leafs debut on Thursday in Minnesota. A strong performance by Enroth, who was better than good in limited play as the Kings backup last season, could give Leafs coach Mike Babcock pause, considering the 11 goals allowed by Frederik Andersen through the first three games. Never mind that Andersen is the perceived No. 1 in Toronto -- Babcock wants to win. Keep an eye out.Vancouver Canucks: Not yet feeling up to snuff (click the link for a personalized and detailed accounting) Ryan Miller is pegged to dress as backup to Jacob Markstrom in Thursdays tilt with the Sabres. Markstrom has been solid to begin this campaign (2-0, 1.97 goals-against average, .913 save percentage) and could provide value in a spot start across the ice from a banged-up Buffalo squad.Washington Capitals: Dont count on 65-plus games from Braden Holtby this season. In light of the condensed schedule, Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post reports backup Philipp Grubauer is in line for a greater share of starts. What youre seeing with the schedule is that there are some more back-to-backs, but also, youre playing every second day, Capitals coach Barry Trotz said earlier this week. ... I said to the goaltenders, if I could go Grubi one game and then Holts three, that type of situation, that would be in the perfect world what Id like to do. How were playing and when were playing and our travel and all of that sort of messes with that. Additionally, Grubauers first career shutout Tuesday wont dissuade his head coach from giving Holtby another break, sooner rather than later.Winnipeg Jets: With No. 1 Jonathan Quick nursing a serious groin injury, theres been talk of potential interest on behalf of the Kings in demoted Jets netminder Ondrej Pavelec. However, now that were learning Quick is choosing to forego major surgery, with a return loosely projected for early January, that chatter might subside. (ESPN Insiders can check out why Rob Vollman believes the Kings will manage just fine without Quick.) This means Pavelec is destined to compete in the AHL for a while yet, assuming Connor Hellebuyck and/or Michael Hutchinson stay healthy and sufficiently competent. Sidney Crosby Jersey . Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday. Paul Martin Jersey . LOUIS -- Alexander Steen scored a power-play goal with 59. http://www.wholesalepenguinsjerseys.com/?tag=cheap-riley-sheahan-jersey . -- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson asked his players a simple question during Fridays morning shootaround: How many of them had ever been on a team 14 games over .

So we can always take things out

Erstellt 16.04.2018 11:23 von MJL456 16.04.2018 11:23 In der Kategorie Allgemein.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Jameis Winston and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will look to take advantage of what has suddenly become an uncharacteristically leaky Carolina Panthers defense on Monday night.The Panthers, a top-10 ranked defense in each of the past four seasons, allowed Matt Ryan to throw for a franchise-record 503 yards and Julio Jones to rack up 300 yards receiving in last weeks 48-33 loss to the Atlanta Falcons at the Georgia Dome.It was a stunning loss for the defending NFC champions -- one that defensive coordinator Sean McDemott admitted woke him up every hour on the hour looking for solutions.We cant have another day like that and expect to be a winning team, Panthers safety Kurt Coleman said.If Winston wants to mimic Ryan this week, he knows hell need to first take care of the football. Hes turned over the ball nine times during the teams current three-game losing streak -- two of those resulting in defensive touchdowns.We know that has been a problem early, Winston said. You move forward and you own it.This would seem an opportunity for Winston to get right against a defense that has struggled to get a consistent pass rush -- starting defensive ends Kony Ealy and Charles Johnson have yet to register a sack -- and that is young in the secondary without Josh Norman. But Winston said he isnt expecting the Panthers to just lay down, especially at home in front of a national audience.Atlanta has a great offense and we have to still know, in the back of our minds, that these are still the defending conference champions and NFC champions and they are definitely not a joke, Winston said.The Panthers intercepted Winston six times and sacked him four times last season as a rookie. Theyre looking at this as a potential bounce back game.We know what we have to do, Coleman said.Some things to watch in the Bucs-Panthers matchup:GET IT OUT QUICK: The biggest difference between Derek Anderson and the concussed Cam Newton -- aside from Newtons superior athletic ability -- is how quickly the two Carolina quarterback get rid of the ball.Derek takes what he can get, coach Ron Rivera said. That is one thing that he does well. Unlike Cam, who is going to stand tall in there and maybe skip an opportunity and work something downfield, Derek is going to be quick to pull the trigger and make a quick decision. That may be one of the bigger things they contrast in.Then, Rivera jokingly added, And when we run the zone read stuff, Derek will probably hand it off.OLSEN A FACTOR: Expect tight end Greg Olsen to be a major factor if Anderson starts at quarterback. The Pro Bowl tight end recalled exactly how many catches he had in Andersons two starts against the Buccaneers in 2014. Eighteen, he said with a knowing grin. Olsen also had 193 yards and a touchdown vs. the Bucs. In addition, Olsen caught a TD pass and a 2-point conversion toss from Anderson in last weeks loss to Atlanta.He does everything for them, Bucs coach Dirk Koetter said. I mean hes part wideout, all-pro tight end, part running back going in the backfield and does all the protections for them. The guys a coach on the field and a terrific player at the same time.NOWHERE TO RUN: With running back Doug Martin sidelined the past two weeks because of a hamstring injury, Tampa Bays running game has ground to a halt. Charles Sims moved into the starting role, but hes better suited for a role as a change-of-pace back whose forte is catching passes and creating in open space. Sims is averaging 2.8 yards per attempt, with 116 yards on 41 carries. He was limited to 28 yards on 15 carries during last weeks 27-7 loss to Denver, 1.9 yards per carry.Backup Jacquizz Rodgers could be an alternative. He didnt join the Bucs until Sept. 13, but has averaged 5.3 yards with 69 yards on 13 attempts in a limited role. Its been difficult because we love Doug and Doug is a great asset to our team, Winston said.STARTING A STREAK: Rivera said he was crushed when Carolinas streak of 35 straight 100-yard rushing games ended last Sunday against the Falcons. The Panthers are struggling with the running game with Jonathan Stewart out with a hamstring injury, but Rivera said the streak was a matter of pride and he is eager to start a new one.DOMINATING THE RIVALRY: The Panthers have won six straight games against their NFC South rival.---AP sports writer Fred Goodall in Tampa, Florida contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Carson Palmer Jersey . Mitch Holmberg added a goal and three assists. Connor Chartier also scored for the Chiefs (3-0-0). Luke Harrison spoiled Garrett Hughsons shutout bid with a power-play goal at 13:17 of the third period. The Spokane goaltender finished with 28 saves, including a Brandon Fushimi penalty shot in the second period that would have tied the game 1-1. J.J. Nelson Jersey .J. -- Pitcher Carl Pavano is retiring after 14 major league seasons. http://www.officialauthenticcardinalsshop.com/authentic-customized.html . Vettel, who has already clinched his fourth straight F1 title, enters the finale with a chance to equal Michael Schumachers 13 victories in a year and match the record of nine consecutive wins by Alberto Ascari in the 1952 and 1953 seasons. Karlos Dansby Jersey . Duchene scored two goals and had an assist, helping the Colorado Avalanche beat the Carolina Hurricanes 4-2 on Friday night to match the best 10-game start in team history. Pat Tillman Jersey . -- Devin Hester is done returning kicks in Chicago. GREEN BAY, Wis. -- As reporters encircled Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers at his locker, linebacker Clay Matthews hurried past and shouted out in jest perhaps the most important question of the week.A-Rod, are you playing? Matthews yelled.Oh yes, Rodgers plans to play Sunday against the Chicago Bears . He just didnt practice Wednesday to focus on rehabbing his leg injuries, a plan coach Mike McCarthy said will likely stay in place for the quarterback through Thursday.McCarthy said Rodgers told him not to hold anything back for the game plan against the Bears as Green Bay seeks a fourth consecutive victory as they chase a spot in the playoffs.Im very optimistic by nature. So we can always take things out. Its harder to add things back in, Rodgers said. So get everything in, and if theres anything weve got to take out on Sunday, well do that.The Packers (7-6) have won three straight heading into a three-game stretch to end the regular season against NFC North foes. Tied with Minnesota for second at two games behind Detroit, Green Bay needs help to return to the playoffs an eighth straight season.Rodgers hurt his left hamstring a few weeks ago against the Eagles. He hurt his right calf while throwing a 66-yard touchdown pass to Davante Adams on the third play of the 38-10 victory last weekend over the Seattle Seahawks.Im feeling better. I appreciate the time to rehab. With an injury like this, its really about maximizing rehab time, Rodgers said Wednesday. So I got to get a couple extra hours there with the training staff. It was good.The leg injuries have limited Rodgers mobility. The two-time NFL MVP was still able to dissect the Seattle defense for 246 yards and three touchdowns on 18-of-23 passing before leaving early in the fourth quarter with his team up by four scores.Oh yeah, I mean, Aaron Rodgers is as tough as anybody Ive ever known, McCarthy said.He recalled one instance in Rodgers first season as the starter in 2008 when he sprained his right shoulder against Tampa. McCarthy wasnt sure how limited Rodgers arm might bee the next week against Atlanta.ddddddddddddThen late in the first quarter of the Falcons game, McCarthy called a deep shot to Donald Driver on third-and-1, briefly forgetting about Rodgers injury. Rodgers hit the pass, then finished 25 of 37 for 313 yards and three touchdowns.That was a big moment for him and hes done that so many times now, probably things that may not seem as big, McCarthy said. His focus, its extraordinary.TIE IT UPThe NFLs oldest rivalry will have its 194th meeting, but Sundays game could mark a milestone in the series.The Bears lead the series 94-93-6, including a split of two postseason games. A Packers win on Sunday would tie the series for the first time since 1933.While that would be nice, Packers right tackle Bryan Bulaga dont need any extra motivation.I think the motivation is to win the game and keep ourselves in a good place with what we got going on here, Bulaga said. The overall record is what it is ... but its just about winning and playing good football and improving as a team.INJURY REPORTJared Cook was a full participant in practice after the tight end left the Seahawks game late in the second quarter with a chest injury. ... Matthews was a full participant for the first time in a couple weeks, a sign his shoulder injury might be improving. Matthews played mainly in pass-rush situations against Seattle. ... LB Nick Perry (hand) may not practice until Saturday, McCarthy said. The team leader with eight sacks, Perry missed the Seahawks game.TRANSACTIONThe team signed linebacker Jordan Tripp on Wednesday. A fifth-round draft pick of the Dolphins in 2014, Tripp last played with Seattle, appearing in seven games with one start before being placed on injured reserve on Dec. 3. He reached an injury settlement on Dec. 9. Tripp has 11 career tackles.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAP China Jerseys Cheap Wholesale Jerseys 2020 Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys 2020 Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Cheap Jerseys Online ' ' '

MEXICO CITY -- The WBC has decided not to ban Russian heavyweight title contender Alexander Povetkin after he tested positive for the banned substance meldonium, and has ordered him to fight Canadas Bermane Stiverne for an interim title.Povetkin was due to face WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder of the United States in May before it was revealed he had failed a drug test in the build-up.The fight was called off and Wilder was allowed to arrange a voluntary defense against Chris Arreola in July, which he won.The WBC said in a statement Wednesday that Povetkin must undergo extra drug testing at his own expense for a year. But he wont be banned given the impossibility to scientifically prove that Mr. Povetkin ingested meldonium after January 1 2016, when it became illegal in sport. If Povetkin tests positive again over the next year, he will be suspended from WBC events indefinitely.With Wilder injured and likely unable to fight until 2017, an interim fight with Stiverne has been ordered. Theres also ongoing litigation between Povetkin and Wilders promoters over the canceled fight.We won, Povetkins promoter Andrei Ryabinsky said on Twitter. Povetkin has been vindicated, and must now fight Stiverne because Wilder is injured. Ill still keep up the legal action against Wilders team.Povetkin has said he stopped taking meldonium, which has been claimed to boost stamina, last year.The Latvian-made heart drug was widely used as a supplement in Eastern European countries until it was banned for 2016.That was followed by more than 100 positive tests, many in Russia and neighboring countries. Almost all of the suspensions were lifted when the World Anti-Doping Agency conceded that athletes who had stopped taking it before January could still have traces in their systems for months.However, Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova received a two-year suspension in June because she had taken meldonium after it was banned. Sharapova has appealed. Jose Berrios Jersey .7 million, one-year contract, a raise of $2.2 million. Wieters had asked for $8.75 million and the Orioles had offered $6. Bert Blyleven Jersey .

NICOSIA, Cyprus -- Cyprus top sports official on Thursday urged lawmakers to pass legislation enabling authorities to wiretap suspects telephones and access bank accounts in the fight against match-fixing.Cleanthis Georgiades, president of Cyprus Sports Organization, said that those involved in match-fixing are extremely dangerous people, with huge financial interests at stake.Earlier this week, the Cyprus Football Association vowed to impose severe penalties on clubs suspected of match-fixing after UEFA ranked the countrys championship to be among the worst offenders in Europe.UEFA suspects six first-division matches and a domestic cup match may have been fixed since September, said Marios Lefkaritis, a vice president at UEFA and honorary president of the Cyprus Football Association..The Cyprus FA has received files on 75 matches suspected of being fixed since 2011, Lefkaritis said.Georgiades said the situuation was out of control.ddddddddddddIf authorities are going to stamp this out, legislation must be passed that unties their hands because its wiretapping that helps crack such cases, he told The Associated Press.Cyprus Justice Minister Ionas Nicolaou said legislation is expected to go to parliament for a vote in January,Meanwhile, police said a pre-dawn bomb blast on Thursday damaged the entrance of the Limassol offices of an insurance company headed by Cyprus FA chief Costakis Koutsokoumnis.Police spokesman Andreas Angelides said it was too early to definitely link the attack to the issue of match-fixing.Koutsokoumnis appeared to allude to the bomb attack in a written message on his personal Facebook page, saying, When you make reforms, you occasionally have to pay the price.

unt, a 10-yard catch on foourth-and-3.d

Erstellt 16.04.2018 11:22 von MJL456 16.04.2018 11:22 In der Kategorie Allgemein.

Forward Chandler Parsons has agreed to a four-year maximum contract with the Memphis Grizzlies worth a projected $94.8 million.Parsons committed to the Grizzlies immediately after a Friday meeting at agent Dan Fegans home in Beverly Hills, California. The contract cannot officially be signed until Thursday.I really believed in Coach Fiz, Parsons told ESPN in a text message, explaining his decision to commit to Memphis. Nobody in the league has coached better wings than him. I trust J.B. with my life. They have nobody like me, and their veteran, experienced players are a perfect fit with me.The 27-year-old Parsons also met with and received a max contract offer from the Portland Trail Blazers when free agency opened.Toughest decision of my life though. Portland is incredible, Parsons added.Parsons tweeted his thanks to the Dallas organization and fans Friday afternoon.Sources say Parsons made his decision with the expectation that point guard Mike Conley would return to Memphis, as the pair had several conversations about playing together with the Grizzlies. Conley is scheduled to meet with the Mavericks in Dallas on Friday, but sources say Parsons and Conley never discussed playing together in Dallas.With the Grizzlies able to offer a fifth year on his contract, the Mavs are widely considered an extreme long shot to sign the point guard. Dallas also missed out on two of its other top targets after center Hassan Whiteside committed to re-signing with the Miami Heat and small forward Nicolas Batum opted to stay in Charlotte.The Los Angeles Lakers and Orlando Magic?expressed interest in Parsons, who moved on after spending two seasons with the Mavericks?when the team?declined to offer him a max contract.Parsons has an advocate in Memphis in recently hired assistant coach J.B. Bickerstaff, who formed a close relationship with Parsons during their time together with the Houston Rockets.Parsons averaged 14.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game during his two-year tenure in Dallas but was only able to play in one playoff game because of knee injuries that prematurely ended both seasons.Parsons had hybrid microfracture surgery on his knee in spring of 2015, and the rehab from that operation lasted well into the 2015-16 season. The arthroscopic operation Parsons underwent this spring to address a torn meniscus in the knee wasnt nearly as serious as the previous surgery.Sources say multiple renowned orthopedic specialists have given Parsons clearance to resume full basketball activities and expressed optimism that his knee would not prevent him from having a long, productive NBA career.Parsons averaged 13.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 61 games last season, statistics skewed by a slow start as he dealt with strict minutes restrictions. He had the best statistical stretch of his five-year career in the two months before his season ended, averaging 18.9 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game while shooting 51.9 percent from the floor and 47.7 percent from 3-point range and proving he could thrive at power forward in addition to small forward.Information from ESPNs Marc Stein and The Undefeateds Marc J.

No. 13-seeded John Isner and No. 21 Philipp Kohlschreiber were among six players who dropped out of the tournament on Tuesday, joining No. 12 seed Tommy Haas and two other players who withdrew on Monday. ARLINGTON, Texas -- Tom Savage made it through Houstons preseason finale against Dallas unscathed despite getting slammed on his back while scrambling late in the third quarter.The third-year quarterback popped back up after a play that unfolded not far from where he sustained a season-ending shoulder injury on the same field in the same game a year ago.Already chosen as the backup to Brock Osweiler, Savage converted a pair of fourth downs for touchdowns -- both to running back Akeem Hunt on a run and a pass -- and the Texans beat the Cowboys 28-17 Thursday night.Savage, who was toppled on the short run and driven to the ground by Dallas defensive end Ryan Russell, was 12 of 18 for 119 yards as the Texans went 4-0 in the preseason for the first time.I dont think that was the smartest play of my career, Savage said. And it was in front of all the guys, so I couldnt slide. But Ill learn from it. Ill get down.Dallas quarterback Jameill Showers, currently the backup to rookie Dak Prescott with Tony Romo sidelined by a broken bone in his back, played the whole game as planned, but might not have helped his roster hopes much. The second-year player had a first-quarter touchdown pass, but fumbled at the Dallas 19 to set up Houstons first touchdown and threw an interception that was returned 9 yards for a TD by Antonio Allen.Showers, who spent most of last season on the practice squad, finished 10 of 25 yards for 91 yards.The Cowboys signed another former Texas A&M quarterback, Jarrod Johnson, before the game in case Showers was injured, but hes unlikely to last. Dallas figures to add a veteran backup, making Showers status more tenuous.Its only one day, but it feels like three weeks, Showers said of Saturdays roster trim from 75 to 53. Its waiting to find out your destiny. Its what all of us dream about since we were 9 years old. Its out of my control.Savage led an 80-yard drive to the other score by Hunt, a 10-yard catch on foourth-and-3.ddddddddddddSavage was the third-stringer a year ago when he got hurt late in a Dallas victory. With the backup job his now, it didnt matter as much what Brandon Weeden did facing his former team.Weeden, who lost three starts as the Dallas backup last year after the first of Romos two broken left collarbones, threw a 64-yard touchdown pass to Keith Mumphrey. Weeden also had an interception returned 59 yards for a touchdown by rookie Anthony Brown.Weeden finished 9 of 13 for 116 yards.ROOKIE WATCHTexans: KR/RB Tyler Ervin, a fourth-round pick, was held out of the return game, a good sign for his chances to have that role after gaining 111 all-purpose yards last week.Cowboys: Brown, a sixth-round pick, stepped in front of Weedens pass to Cecil Shorts III along the sideline and ran untouched to the end zone late in the third quarter. ... Darius Jackson, another sixth-rounder, had an 18-yard touchdown on a screen pass from Showers to open the scoring.POSITION BATTLESTexans: Kenny Hilliard and Hunt got most of the carries as the Texans try to sort out things behind Lamar Miller and Alfred Blue at RB. Hilliard had 27 carries for 89 yards, and Hunt ran 12 times for 44 yards.Cowboys: CB Deji Olatoye didnt help his cause for a job in the Dallas secondary. He was burned several times, including on Mumphreys long touchdown. ... DE Mike McAdoo, who spent most of last season on the practice squad, continued a strong preseason with a sack and two tackles for loss.QUOTABLE-- Cowboys WR Dez Bryant on the start of the regular season: Weve been waiting all the way up to this point. I cannot wait. Its time to go out there and see where its at.-- Texans CB Charles James on Allens pick six: I saw him bobbling it, and Im like, `Catch the ball. Youre fixing to score. And he caught it, and he ran it in.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- The first one was for the team. This one was a little more personal.The next three for Simone Biles could be for the record books.Where to start judging Biles after her romp to gold in the gymnastics all around? Perhaps by beginning the conversation with talk about the best in history.She already owns three world championships, and now has two Olympic golds. Before an appreciative crowd Thursday at the Olympic gymnastics arena, she capped off her latest with a floor exercise that included a move that is named after her.Three more golds, and her name will start coming up whenever Olympic greats are debated.Thats crazy to think about, Biles said when asked about winning five gold medals. I just have to stay focused when I go into my event finals.No, Biles will never have an overall medal haul that will stack up with Michael Phelps. There are only so many gold medals handed out in her sport and careers in gymnastics are usually limited to one Olympics, perhaps two at best.On a Wheaties box one day, they find themselves sitting at home watching a new generation of gymnasts on television the next.But if Biles can win her final three events over the next few days she should emerge as the star of the Rio Olympics. Add another handful of medals four years from now in Tokyo and she will be in rarified territory.Some of her fellow competitors believe thats exactly where the 4-foot-8 dynamo is heading.No one goes in thinking they can beat Simone, teammate Aly Raisman said after winning the all around silver. Most people dont go in thinking they can beat Usain Bolt either, its kind of the same thing.Bronze medalist Aliya Mustafina of Russia wasnt exactly brimming with confidence about her chances, either.I dont think I will ever be able to do it, she said.No female gymnast has ever won five gold medals in one Olympics, so Biles could make history even before she leaves Rio. Shes favored to win the vault and the balance beam golds and, along with Raisman, a co-favorite in the floor exercise.It gets a little trickier after that, if only because of unfortunate timing. She was only 15, too young to compete, in the London Olympics, but quickly began dominating world championships once she became competitive age.Biles will be 23 by the time the 2020 Olympics kick off in Tokyo, but Raisman is showing at the age of 22 that medals can be won in bunches even beyond teen-age years.The way Biles is handling this Olympic gymnastic competition so far, anything seems possible. She soars higher than other gymnasts, does moves others can never attempt.She really ranks at the top, said Martha Karolyi, the national team coordinator who helped Nadia Comaneci score a perfect 10 in the 1976 games as a coach in Romania. I just said the other day for me Nadia Comaneci is our first Olympic champion and Simone is my last Olympic champion. Those are the culminations of our career.Full of competitive fire, Biles also seems devoid of nerves once she gets in front of a crowd. She led her teammates to the team gold to kick off her Olympics, then calmly did her thing on the balance beam to take a commanding lead before capping off the night with a strong effort on the floor event.When it was over she shed a few quick tears and shared some hugs with Raisman, the so-called grandma of the team who now has five medals -- three of them gold -- in two Olympics.Every emotion just hit me at once, Biles said. It was just kind of a train wreck.Watching from close by was Aimee Boorman, who has coached Biles for nearly the gymnasts whole career.I was nervous a little bit for her today just to come out and do it and make it yours, Boorman said. Shes certainly proven herself over the past three years that shes the greatest. Now she can say shes the greatest of all-time. So far.Biles shrugged off the talk, just as she shrugged off a question afterward about whether she was a celebrity (she says shes not).Someone could say Im the best but then theres a whole different side saying Im not the best, she said. I just stay out of it. I just do my gymnastics.Left unsaid was that she does it better than anyone ever has before.----Tim Dahlberg is a national sports columnist for The Associated Press.

outrebounded them 52-44.Vucevic finished with 17 points

Erstellt 16.04.2018 11:22 von MJL456 16.04.2018 11:22 In der Kategorie Allgemein.

Match facts August 4-8, 2016 Start time 10.00 local (04.30 GMT)Big Picture Galled by their own performance in Pallekele, here Australia might be just be Galled full stop. Rod Marsh, the national selector, spoke after the loss in the first Test of Australias excellent preparation. What else can we do, really? he wondered out loud. He sounded like an exasperated parent whose wayward kids can only be guided so far. But Australia will need to do something different when the second Test starts in Galle. They enter the match 1-0 down in the three-Test series and a losing campaign would likely result in them slipping from No.1 on the rankings. They could even fall as far as third.It was Sri Lankas spinners - as well of course as Kusal Mendis with his outstanding century - who troubled Australia most in Pallekele. And that was the one venue on this tour that might actually have suited Australia somewhat. On a dry pitch in Galle, spinners are expected to gain significant turn right from the outset. Overall at Galle, 61.79% of Test wickets have been taken by spinners. Of all Test venues to have hosted at least 10 matches, only Chittagong has a higher proportion of wickets for the slow bowlers. You half expect Michael J. Fox to be Galles deputy mayor, such a spin city it is.It is also the only home venue at which Sri Lanka have a winning record of better than 50%. They are hard to beat on the turning pitch, and will be brimming with confidence after their win in the first Test. Steven Smith, by comparison, will be desperate to turn Australias fortunes around after his first loss as Test captain.Form guide Sri Lanka: WDLLL (last five completed matches, most recent first)? Australia: LWWDWIn the spotlight There is a reason left-arm wrist-spin is also known as left-arm unorthodox: it is extremely rare. Why? Hard to say. But right-armers are more common than left-armers, and finger-spinners more common than wrist-spinners, so it is natural that it should be the least prevalent variety of spin. So much so, in fact, that Lakshan Sandakan is the first left-arm wrist-spinner from Asia to play Test cricket. Its an extraordinary fact, considering how turning pitches are mostly the norm in the in the subcontinent. But Sandakans rarity makes him all the more of a threat, and Australias batsmen struggled with the unknown in Pallekele. On debut, Sandakan finished with match figures of 7 for 107; he extracted big turn and bowled very few bad deliveries. He could just be the perfect spin partner for Rangana Herath.Back in May, the national selectors picked five spinners to represent Australia during winter tours. Jon Holland didnt figure in the shortlist. In the Test squad to tour Sri Lanka were Nathan Lyon and Steve OKeefe, and in the Australia A squad were Ashton Agar, Cameron Boyce and Mitch Swepson. And yet here is Holland in Galle, set to become Australias 444th Test cricketer. Holland was called up for Australia A because of an injury to Agar. Now, an injury to OKeefe and Holland was flown to Sri Lanka before he even had a chance to play for Australia A. An attacking left-armer who has been highly rated since his early days, Holland has had limited opportunities with Victoria in recent years due to the presence of Fawad Ahmed. But when he plays, he takes wickets.Team news Nuwan Pradeep is in doubt with a hamstring strain, which could force Sri Lanka to field a debutant fast bowler - either Vishwa Fernando or Asitha Fernando. Three frontline spinners are again expected on a pitch that should turn plenty. There is the chance that Sri Lanka might drop the opener Dimuth Karunaratne, but the lack of experience elsewhere in the side could save him.Sri Lanka (possible) 1 Dimuth Karunaratne, 2 Kaushal Silva, 3 Kusal Mendis, 4 Dinesh Chandimal (wk), 5 Angelo Mathews (capt), 6 Dhananjaya de Silva, 7 Kusal Perera, 8 Dilruwan Perera, 9 Rangana Herath, 10 Lakshan Sandakan, 11 Vishwa Fernando/Asitha Fernando.Holland will come in for OKeefe, Australias only change to the XI.Australia 1 David Warner, 2 Joe Burns, 3 Usman Khawaja, 4 Steven Smith (capt), 5 Adam Voges, 6 Mitchell Marsh, 7 Peter Nevill (wk), 8 Mitchell Starc, 9 Nathan Lyon, 10 Josh Hazlewood, 11 Jon Holland.Pitch and conditions The Galle pitch was already very dry a couple of days out from the Test and should take turn from the beginning.Stats and triviaThe past 11 Tests in Sri Lanka have all brought results: seven wins for Sri Lanka and four losses. Not since they played South Africa in Colombo in July 2014 has there been a drawThis will be Sri Lankas 250th Test match since their debut 34 years ago. By comparison, it took Australia 83 years to get to 250 TestsSteven Smith needs 63 runs to reach 4000 in Tests. If he does it in this match he will be the third-fastest Australian to the milestone, behind only Don Bradman and Matthew HaydenQuotes As a chinaman bowler, Sandakan has impressed everyone with his control. When you have such control, you can be devastating. He can also bowl the googly. Then more than anything, he gets turn. Thats the complete package you expect from a spin bowler.Rangana Herath on his spin colleague Lakshan SandakanI wasnt yelling at the players. It was obviously disappointing, the loss in Kandy, my first loss as captain. It was a different experience and hopefully it doesnt happen too often. We know what we have to do to turn it around, its just about making sure we go out there and do it.Steven Smith seeks to rebound from his first loss as Test captain Brett Anderson Jersey .

er Canucks are shopping their goalie

Erstellt 16.04.2018 11:21 von MJL456 16.04.2018 11:21 In der Kategorie Allgemein.

LOS ANGELES -- After four seasons in the Golden State Warriors supporting cast, Harrison Barnes is seizing his opportunity to be the main man in Dallas.Barnes scored 31 points, Seth Curry added 23 and the Mavericks won their second straight game after an 0-5 start, 109-97 over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night.Two days after Barnes scored a career-best 34 in the Mavs victory over Milwaukee, he hit 11 of 18 shots at Staples Center while leading Dallas past the Lakers for the 11th consecutive time since April 2, 2013. Barnes scored seven consecutive points after Los Angeles took a lead with 7 1/2 minutes to play, and his teammates finished it off.Im just being aggressive, Barnes said. That was the biggest thing in my first few games (with the Mavs), figuring out when to be aggressive and when not to. You just kind of have to leave the switch on, and if you fail, fail aggressively.Its working: Barnes has scored 30 points three times in Dallas last six games after hitting that mark once in his first four seasons with Golden State.After getting their first win of the season Sunday against Milwaukee, the Mavs won again without injured Dirk Nowitzki and Deron Williams. Nowitzki missed his second straight game with a sore Achilles tendon, while Williams missed his second straight game with a strained calf muscle.Dallas used only eight players in LA, but it was enough.This is two team efforts, just scrappy and grinding, Barnes said. Everyone is getting in the mix offensively and defensively. Its not always pretty basketball, but were getting it done, and thats the most rewarding thing about it.JJ Barea had 18 points, seven rebounds and eight assists for the Mavericks, who beat the Lakers on the road for the sixth straight time.Our guys stuck to a game plan of tempo and patience and discipline, and they won the game, Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said.TIP-INSMavericks: Carlisle shared a quick pregame moment with Lakers F Metta World Peace, who played for Carlisle in Indiana a decade ago. Carlisle, who still calls him Ron, said World Peace has reached out to him to ask questions about coaching. ... Mavs rookie Dorian Finney-Smith had five points in his first NBA start.Lakers: Luke Walton coached Barnes and Curry as an assistant with Golden State. ... Luol Deng scored two points in 30 minutes, going 1 for 5. ... Julius Randle had 15 points and 10 rebounds, but also committed six turnovers.LAKERS LOSSJordan Clarkson scored 22 points and Nick Young had 20 as the Lakers three-game winning streak ended with 17 turnovers and some late-game struggles. Lou Williams scored 15 points for Los Angeles, which rallied from an 11-point deficit in the second half before failing to execute in the final minutes.I thought we did a little better job in the second half fighting, Walton said. I thought we were a little soft in the first half. We had our chances.Young scored 13 points in the first 3:15, staking the Lakers to an early lead. Dallas scored the final 11 points of the half to move ahead 58-54.HEADING BACKBarnes had his latest monster game one night before he returned to Oakland to take on the Golden State Warriors for the first time since leaving as a free agent during the summer. Barnes was a key player on the Warriors 2015 championship team and last seasons runner-up, but left after the Warriors renounced his rights when they landed Kevin Durant.When asked if the homecoming was anything special, Barnes said: Nah. ... Its another game. Were 2-5, so its another game. Trying to 3-5 and go back home.SHORT-LIVEDThe Lakers (4-4) had moved above .500 for just the second time since Dec. 6, 2013, with a victory over Phoenix on Sunday. Los Angeles also hadnt won three straight games since the 2012-13 season, but couldnt make it four.UP NEXTMavericks: At Golden State on Wednesday.Lakers: At Sacramento on Thursday. Buy Cheap Royals Jerseys . The 20-year-old Pelicans big man glanced up and smiled widely at the well-wishers -- a fitting end to a day he wont soon forget. Davis responded to his selection earlier in the day as a Western Conference All-Star with 26 points and 10 rebounds, and the New Orleans Pelicans overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves 98-91 on Friday night.

He struck out two, walked one and hit a batter. Edwin Encarnacion had a two-out, bases loaded two-RBI double in the third inning.The Vancouver Canucks are shopping their goalie once again. This time, however, it is Cory Schneiders name that is the topic of discussion. TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger reported Saturday morning that his sources indicate the Canucks are considering moving their 27-year-old netminder and that the Edmonton Oilers might well be in on the action. Dreger continued that the talks may be a contingency plan in the event the team is unable to move Roberto Luongo, who has been the subject of trade rumours for more than a year. The asking price is believed to start with a first round draft pick and a prospect, according to Dreger, though he added that the talks may simply believed to be a way to gauge Schneiders worth on the open market. Schneider posted a 17-9-4 record in 30 regular season games with the Canucks last season, his first in Vancouver earning the majority of the teams starts. A late-season injury would hand the starters role over to Luongo for the beginning of the Canucks opening-round series against the San Jose Sharks. The Canucks would lose both Luongos starts in the first two games, but would fare no better under Schneider. Schneider would get chased from the net after conceding five goals in Game 3. He returned to start Game 4, but the Sharks would complete the series sweep with a 4-3 overtime win.dddddddddddd Luongo - who has spent the last seven seasons in Vancouver has become a difficult piece to trade for the Canucks by virtue of the 12-year, $64 million deal he signed with the Canucks prior to the 2010-11 season. Nine years and more than $40 million remain on that deal, which carries an average annual value of $5.33 million. The Canucks were believed to be in talks with the Toronto Maple Leafs prior to the 2013 NHL Trade Deadline, but no deal was completed prior to 3pm et on Deadline Day. The Leafs have since acquired goaltender Jonathan Bernier from the Los Angeles Kings. Schneider has played parts of five seasons with the Canucks, posting a 55-26-8 record in 98 games played. During that time he has earned a .927 career save percentage and a 2.20 goals-against average. He is 1-4 in 10 career playoff games with a .922 save percentage and a 2.59 goals-against average. Schenider was originally drafted 26th overall by the Canucks at the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. He has two years remaining on a three-year, $12 million deal he signed with the Canucks prior to the 2012-13 season. He is slated to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of that deal.
