DENVER -- A quick start and timely baskets down the stretch ended Detroits early season woes on the road.Tobias Harris scored 19 points, Marcus Morris had 17 and the Pistons beat the Denver Nuggets 106-95 on Saturday night for their first win of the season away from home.Without a doubt, everyone in this locker room was really focused out there to get this `W today and we came out and accomplished it, Harris said. Its not the road trip we wanted, but we learned a lot from this road trip.Detroit, unbeaten in four home games, had lost five straight on the road before fashioning the wire-to-wire win in Denver, the final stop on a four-game road trip.Thats why this was huge because we have to know how to win on the road, guard Ish Smith said. Its a new year, and were 5-5 and feel good about it.Andre Drummond and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope added 14 points apiece for the Pistons, who also snapped a seven-game losing streak in Denver a week after beating the Nuggets in their first meeting in Detroit.Emmanuel Mudiay scored 19 points for Denver, which was done in by another slow start after being outscored 36-21 in the first quarter. The Pistons never trailed in the contest and also benefited from 16 Denver turnovers leading to 17 points.It is the same old story, Nuggets coach Michael Malone said. We outscored them 74-70 in quarters two, three and four. But when you spot them a 15-point lead in the first quarter. And we threw the ball over. Our turnovers are an epidemic.Danilo Gallinari added 18 points for the Nuggets, who remained winless in three games at home this season.Gallinaris mid-range jumper pulled Denver to 97-93 with 3:02 left but Drummond came right back to sink a hook shot for Detroit. Harris jumper with 1:07 left stretched Detroits lead to eight points.Denver fell behind by as many as 17 points early on but used an 18-6 run late in the second quarter to get back in the game, pulling to 57-49 at halftime.TIP-INSPistons: Drummond added 12 rebounds to complete his seventh double-double of the season. ... Caldwell-Pope has scored in double figures in six of his last seven games. ... Detroit also never trailed in its first win this season against Denver.Nuggets: F Darrell Arthur (left knee soreness) and F Will Barton (left ankle sprain) remain sidelined. Arthur and Barton have each missed the past six games. ... F Wilson Chandler was back in action after missing the previous two games with a sore left hamstring. ... Gallinari has scored 10 or more points in each of the first nine games.SECOND THOUGHTSMalone conceded an experimental switch to power forward from his natural position of center has not been working out well for second-year pro Nikola Jokic. The Nuggets coach said he plans to give Jokic more time at the 5 spot going forward. He had an unbelievable rookie year playing the 5, Malone said. I told him I feel like Ive done him a disservice almost, exploring playing big. There are some good things with that, but I took a kid who had a great year last year, changed his position on him and it hasnt been easy for him. So my hope is to try to get him more minutes at 5. He will play some 4 at times but we need to get Nikola back.UP NEXTPistons: Return home from a four-game road trip to play Oklahoma City on Monday night.Nuggets: Travel to Portland to play the Trail Blazers on Sunday night.

Former England captain Ollie Phillips has predicted that rugby Sevens will provide a cracking spectacle at the Rio Olympics. The Great Britain squads for mens and womens competitions are set to be announced in London on Tuesday.And Phillips, who skippered England during a glittering Sevens career that also saw him named 2009 world Sevens player of the year, is relishing a six-day tournament which starts at Deodoro on August 6.Its brilliant that rugby is part of the greatest sporting spectacle on the planet, and that both our men and women get a chance to be a part of that, he told Press Association Sport. To win a gold medal, for most sportspeople, is the biggest accolade you can have.I think the Olympics will get a cracking spectacle. There is nothing, really, that exists within the Olympics whereby the action comes very thick and fast, and there is always something going on. Sevens is short, sharp, with loads of points and a carnival atmosphere.GBs men and women have built for Rio by taking part in a series of preparation tournaments -- the men triumphed on successive weekends in Exeter and Gdynia, Poland earlier this month -- with final 12-player groups now ready for unveiling.The men have been drawn alongside New Zealand, Kenya and Japan in Rio, with the women facing Canada, Brazil and Japan during pool stages that will see the top two teams from each of three groups -- plus two best third-placed sides - securing quarterfinal places.Phillips ex-England Sevens colleague Simon Amor is head coach of the mens squad, and while injuries have ruled out two initial training squad members -- Wasps scrum-half Joe Simpson and Welshman Luke Morgan -- it is expected that Amor will be able to parade a powerful final contingent.What I like about Simons [training squad] selection is that most of the players have been playing Sevens all year for England, Scotland or Wales, so their fitnesss levels will be right up there, Phillips added.dddddddddddd. In Sevens, there is an expectation for players to be supremely fit.A lot of it in Sevens is just about the core skills that lots of people take for granted -- your handling, passing, tackling and how accurate you are at the breakdown.Sevens puts a huge magnifying glass over the core components of anyones game. There is no hiding. If you miss a tackle in 15-a-side, sometimes that can be recovered. In Sevens, more often than not, it cant be.Fifteen-a-side world stars like Bryan Habana and Quade Cooper failed in their attempts to secure respective Rio selection for South Africa and Australia, and while New Zealands Sonny Bill Williams made the final cut, Phillips has underlined how big the switch to rugbys abbreviated version can be.If you look at someone like Sonny Bill Williams, he came into the Sevens environment and it took him a good three tournaments to get used to the game in terms of what he was doing, how to play and what decisions to make, Phillips said. Players have almost become specialist Sevens players. There is a lot more focus on some players doing nothing but being out and out Sevens now, and that has seen the game grow.It is a challenge going from 15s into Sevens. You cover a lot more yardage, there is a lot more running. It is more about agility and speed. Also, the recognition of space. In 15s, there is less space and it is crowded with players, and on a Sevens field, it is all about appreciation of space, knowing when to take the gap between you and the defence or when to hold on and push out wide.The HSBC World Sevens Series has grown from six tournaments to 10, and the actual game of Sevens is really exploding. I think the Olympics will contribute massively to that.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Coach Ben McAdoo has talked with Giants players about making a statement on social injustice in the wake of police shootings in Oklahoma and North Carolina, but something other than kneeling or sitting for the national anthem.The rookie coach neither identified the players he spoke with Wednesday nor did he say what type of action was being considered.No Giants players have sat or knelt during the playing of the national anthem either in the preseason or at the opening two games of the NFL regular season. There was also no indication any of them would protest Sunday when the Giants will be home to play the Washington Redskins.Theyre conflicted and they want to make a difference, McAdoo said of his meeting with the players. The league is a platform to make a difference. I encourage them to. I would like to be involved in that. Anything I can do to help.Still, I feel that you can make a difference outside of the anthem. We can do something together to make a difference. It doesnt have to involve the national anthem. I still believe that you pay tribute to the people that sacrifice their lives so that we can coach and play in this great game.San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began the anthem protest that other NFL players and athletes in other sports have since joined.McAdoo said he would not stop any player who wanted to join that protest.Thats their freedom, McAdoo said. I just want an open dialogue, something that we can do together as a team to make a difference.Running back Rashad Jennings wanted the team to do something seen as more than a gesture that many view as disrespect for the sacrifices of those who defend the country. He wanted the protest to be seen as opposition to oppression and injustice.Cornerback Janoris Jenkins said he felt a little powerless when he heard about the recent shootings.They have to get that fixed, to the top, start with the president or whatever, he said. Man, you just drop your head and move on and hope that one day there will be a change.Defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul said he would stand for the anthem. He said what others do is up to them.Dont be a follower, be a leader, Pierre-Paul said. Do what you want to do.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Dale Weise Jersey .

STARKVILLE, Miss. --- Following almost two-hour weather delay, the Commodores came out to defeat the Mississippi State bulldogs in double overtime. The victory was the Commodores first SEC victory of the season, and fifth straight over the Bulldogs.Hannon Eberts came through for the Dores in the 104th minute for the game-winning goal. Eberts goal came off a fantastic run and assist by redshirt-junior Danae OHalloran, who powered up the field from Bulldog territory to rip a cross straight to the Somers, NY native.Amid the clangs of MSU cowbells and intermitted rainstorms, the Bulldogs took the early lead in the fourth minute off a set piece. Taking a free kick just outside the 18-yard box, MSUs shot ricocheted down off the bottom of the VU crossbar and into the back of the net.The Commodores movement throughout the first half kept the Bulldogs on their heels. Danae OHalloran and Sydney ODonnell continuously served the ball into the box, but the Commodores unable to finishLate in the second half the Commodores began playing with confidence.Forced to play physically the entire matchup, freshman midfielder Nia Dorsey gained possession in Bulldog territory after a fantastic cut. The Elkridge, MD native dribbled some 55-yards into the MSU box and connected a beautiful cross to Lydia Simmons. Simmons put a fantastic finish on the ball to tie the matchup in the 42nd minute.With the competition tied, Vandy headed into the locker room with momentum on its side, and used the power defensively as MSU won balls at midfield and kept possession throughout the first five minutes of the final half.Following the on slot of Bulldog shots, a yellow card awarded to the Bulldogs, which changed the tide of possession for the next 15 minutes. Simmons served a strong free kick into the box, which was batted down the MSU keeper. Second later, the Dores were back at it again offensively as OHalloran served an identical ball with the same result.The Commodores had an additional chance to take the lead as Simmons crossed the ball, to Grace Jackson. The freshman from Atlanta was unable to finish, as her diving header was saved by MSU keeper, Tanya de Souza.As the clock expired, the Bulldogs had two close opportunities to take the lead and the game, but were unable to finish in front of goal.Heading into sudden death overtime both squads were evenly matched on paper, tied with 14 shots, seven saves and three corners. Like the two halves prior, both the Commodores and Bulldogs had a slew of offensive opportunities, but were unable to finish throughout the first overtime periodLike MSU in the first period, Vanderbilt was on the offensive attack to begin the final ten minutes of OT right out of the gate. In the 100th minute, Eberts sent a shot wide, with Scarpa generating a shot on goal minutes later.After sprinting into the box, Eberts was ready and positioned in front of the Bulldog goal as OHalloran served the ball into the box to seal the victory.Vanderbilt returns home next week, hosting the Texas A&M Aggies Thursday at 7:00 pm for social media night. LSU heads to town for a 1:00 pm Sunday matinee. The Commodores will be celebrating International Day, and were bringing back Vanderbrunch! http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Carson-Wentz-Jersey/ .

MINNEAPOLIS -- Like the afternoon light on a short December day in Minnesota, the Vikings have been fading fast.For all the fight theyve displayed over the last two months in trying to overcome their offenses injury-influenced limitations, the harsh reality is that the 5-0 start has given way to a 6-6 mark. Victory in the rest of their games is likely the only route to the playoffs, and even in that scenario theyd probably need some help from other teams.Well have to win out, linebacker Anthony Barr said after the Vikings fell 17-15 to league-leading Dallas on Thursday night. I was hoping to get this win today and go on a run, but hopefully it starts next week.The Vikings visit Jacksonville on Dec. 11 before hosting Indianapolis, traveling to Green Bay and wrapping up against Chicago. Finishing on a four-game winning streak, as they did in 2012 to make the playoffs after falling to 6-6, wouldnt be a stunner even with the depleted offensive line and nonfactor running attack. Their 4-6 record in the NFC wont help their tiebreaker cause in the wild-card race, though, and theyd need to finish one game ahead of division-leading Detroit (7-4) to defend their NFC North title.Games among fellow conference competitors down the stretch will help guarantee some of the losses theyd need, but the crowd of teams in the mix is much bigger than the ones that are out of it.Now we go win four in a row. Thats our only chance essentially, linebacker Chad Greenway said. Thats our mentality. Weve done it before.Theres a chance that star running back Adrian Peterson will return during the final stretch from the right knee he hurt in the second game of the season. Perhaps tackles T.J. Clemmings and Jeremiah Sirles, repeatedly overmatched by recent opponents with the Vikings up to their seventh starting combinationn, will settle in and help keep quarterback Sam Bradford from feeling too much pressure.dddddddddddd Maybe the defense can repeat the stellar performance it produced against the Cowboys and their potent offense.The first priority, though, is to get coach Mike Zimmer back after emergency surgery Wednesday night to repair a detached retina in his right eye. That kept him from joining the team against the Cowboys while special teams coordinator Mike Priefer took over the main mans responsibilities .Vikings players were given off until practice Tuesday morning, with no availability with anyone in the organization scheduled until then. Team spokesman Bob Hagan had no update on the condition of the coach, who was scheduled for a doctor visit Friday.He eats, sleeps, drinks football. This is a guy who really wanted to be here tonight for us, cornerback Captain Munnerlyn said. For him not to be here, we know it probably kind of hurt him a little bit. At the same time, hes got to take care of his health and be ready to roll when he can go.Zimmers defense did him proud against Dez Bryant, Ezekiel Elliott, Dak Prescott and the rest of the Cowboys. Minnesota held them to season lows and well under their game averages in first downs, points and yards. Two big whiffs, letting Prescott scramble for 15 yards on third-and-14 and allowing Bryant to get loose in the secondary later on the possession, led to the first touchdown for Dallas. The Cowboys had only one other drive that went longer than 33 yards, and that time Everson Griffen forced a fumble.Weve got to find a way to win these, Griffen said.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Jerseys 2020 Wholesale Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys ' ' '

Superstar forward Didier Drogbas absence from the Montreal Impact roster is unlikely to end in Thursdays Eastern Conference knockout-round playoff match against host D.C. United.Despite scoring 10 goals in 22 appearances, Drogba hasnt played since the end of September -- partly due to a feud over playing time with manager Mauro Biello and more recently because of a back ailment.The 38-year-old Ivory Coast international and former Chelsea striker sat out most of training again on Tuesday. Multiple media outlets on Wednesday reported that he did not make the trip to Washington.I dont think those chances will be good, Biello said Tuesday, according to MLSSoccer.com. He hasnt trained, he still feels a discomfort, so the chances are very minimal.Drogba is out of contract at the end of the season, and fifth-seeded Montreal is actually 6-3-3 this season when he doesnt play.In the latter third of the campaign, Biello appeared to be more comfortable starting mid-season loan signing Matteo Mancosu at forward and bringing Drogba off the bench. Thee 31-year-old Italian has three goals and four assists in 15 appearances (seven starts).dddddddddddd(Drogbas) a different player than Mancosu, but I dont think much is going to change if they swap one for the other, D.C. United coach Ben Olsen said, according to MLSSoccer.com. So the way we go about the game isnt going to change.By contrast, fourth-seeded D.C. United have very few questions surrounding their personnel for a group that had won four straight before sitting most of its regulars in a 4-2 loss at Orlando City SC on Sunday.Midfielder Marcelo Sarvas (knee) and outside back Sean Franklin (calf) made their first appearances since September on Sunday, but seem unlikely to supplant anyone in Olsens starting lineup.We like our group, Olsen told reporters Tuesday. But those two players are very influential to the team. These are good choices to have, and Im certainly not going to tell you who Im starting.

WACO, Texas -- A woman who said she was raped by two Oregon State football players and two other men in 1998 shared her story with the Baylor football team Monday.Brenda Tracys talk with the Bears came two months after a 13-page report said Baylor failed to properly handle accusations of sexual assault, including some against former football players.After hearing about Baylors case, Tracy had called for the NCAA to shut down the football program.Tracy told ESPN Central Texas radio that Baylor football and basketball players were engaged and paying attention, and that she told them that they have an opportunity to exact real change and be an example to follow. She was invited to campus by Baylor acting head football coach Jim Grobe, who replaced Art Briles within days after the report from the Pepper Hamilton law firm.One thing I try to do is make this real for people. Look at me, Im a human being, I could be your neighbor, I could be your mother, I could be the person behind you at the grocery store, she said. But I spent all these years wanting to kill myself and hating myself because someone else took my body and I did not give it to them.Tracy said what she tries to do is put a face and a person and a human experience to rape.A month ago, Tracy shared her story with Nebraskas team. The Cornhuskers are coached by Mike Riley, who was Oregon States coach in 1998.The Associated Press generally doesnt identify sexual assault victims, but Tracy has spoken publicly about her experience. She has met with NCAA officials and said she will be speaking to other college teams, with expectations that she will be contacted by more.According to her Twitter profile, she is a Single mother, Registered Nurse, DV/SA Survivor turned Activist, Speaker, & Civilian Lobbyist. I believe one person can change the world...In a post on her Twitter account ((at)brendatracy24) after the talk, which was closed to the public, Tracy described Grobe as a good man with a good heart while thanking Baylor for hosting her. She also thanked Baylor players who had tweeted her afterward, responding that she appreciated them and telling them to remember the pledge they made to each other.Grobe told the AP before Tracys visit that he had spoken with Riley, who told him it was a hard thing to hear but educational.Weve got a great group of guys here, not good guys, great guys, great kids that would never be involved in these kinds of situations, but I think educating the good kids is just as important as educating the edgy guys, Grobe said earlier this month.The number one thing that I hope is that it brings home that these are real issues. It does pertain to you because you are your brothers keeper. ... Its your responsibility to make sure that not only are you behaving well, but that your teammates are behaving well, and we can take care of each other.Tracy said she talked to good men and called them out, asking them what can they do and how can we change this together.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Oakland Athletics returned home to a field still bearing markings from an NFL game played at the Coliseum 24 hours earlier and proceeded to get blitzed in their most lopsided loss of the season.That it came against the Red Sox shouldnt have surprised anyone. In four games versus Boston this season, manager Bob Melvins ballclub has allowed a minimum of 13 runs each time while being outscored 66-17.This was just the latest in a series of blowouts.David Ortiz singled twice and drove in three runs, David Price won his fifth consecutive start and the Red Sox routed the As 16-2 on Friday night.You know when you get behind in counts and get guys on base and you do it multiple innings, they end up making you pay, Melvin said. Theyre first in the league in runs, RBI, on-base percentage, everything. For a while we were in the game . then they did what they can do when you make some mistakes.Oakland committed two errors, but the big problem was pitching.As starter Andrew Triggs lasted one inning before leaving with a sore back. The three relievers who immediately followed combined to give up 14 runs over 6 1/3 innings.Its just frustrating to put the bullpen in that situation like that, Triggs said. Im hopeful it will be something that will get resolved pretty quickly.Stephen Vogt had an RBI double for the As. Oakland, which has lost eight straight to Boston, dropped a season-high 20 games under .500 (57-77).The As did all their scoring in the fourth. Billy Butler had a sacrifice fly and Vogt added an RBI double.Travis Shaw homered and had five RBI, Hanley Ramirez added three RBI and Xander Bogaerts doubled and scored three runs to help the Red Sox move within one game of first-place Toronto in the AL East. Boston (75-59) is three wins shy of matching last seasons total.Price (14-8) was mostly dominant while pitching seven solid innings against the overmatched As. The left-hander fanned five of the first seven he faced, gave up two runs and finished with seven strikeouts and three walks.HONORING BIG PAPIBefore the game, Ortiz -- wearing a blue Red Sox hoodie with his red cap on backward -- spent time shaking hands and taking pictures with employees and security guards at the Coliseum. The Boston slugger also paused to sign autographs for a handful of fans lined up near the tunnel behind home plate before making his way back to the clubhouse. Later, Melvin and team president Michael Crowley presented Ortiz with a three-liter bottle of Northern California wine.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: RHP Joe Kelly, LHP Robby Scott and INF Deven Marrero were added to the roster from Triple-A Pawtucket. C Ryan Hanigan came off the DL before the game. RHP William Cuevas was designated for assignment.Athletics: Former closer Sean Doolittle was activated from the DL after missing 59 games with a strained left shoulder. RHP Jesse Hahn was also activated off the DL and optioned to Triple-A Nashville. C Matt McBride was called up from Nashville.UP NEXTRed Sox: RHP Rick Porcello (18-3) faces the As for the second time this season Saturday night. Porcello has 23 strikeouts over his previous three starts overall and has gone seven innings or longer in five consecutive starts.Athletics: RHP Daniel Mengden (1-5) will be called up from Triple-A Nashville to start against Boston.

After the tragic death of Miami Marlins pitcher José Fernández on Sunday, there was an outpouring of grief and support around the baseball world. Teams and players saluted Fernández by writing tributes to him on their uniforms, and Marlins players all wore Fernándezs name and number for Monday nights game against the Mets. Following that game, the Marlins added a 16 memorial patch.The Marlins numerical tribute Monday night was unprecedented for a contemporary player (the only other MLB instance of everyone wearing the same number is the annual Jackie Robinson Day ritual, when all uniformed personnel wear No. 42), but the basic concept of memorializing a fallen comrade on an MLB uniform wasnt new or surprising. Its something weve come to expect.The surprising thing is that it used to be more the exception than the rule.Consider this: Big league baseball existed for nearly a century before the first memorial patch appeared in 1973. Up until then, a team only marked a notable death by wearing either black crêpe or black armbands. And the bar for being memorialized on a uniform during the armband was extremely high. When Lou Gehrig died in 1941 -- Lou Gehrig! -- the Yankees didnt wear an armband for him. Neither did any other team.The number of patches and other memorials has definitely increased over the years, said Tom Shieber, senior curator at the National Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, who charts the history and progression of uniform-borne memorials on the Halls website. Its a phenomenon that was a lot easier to keep track of in the old days than it is today. According to Shiebers records, only 10 MLB teams wore black memorial armbands in the 1950s and 60s combined. By comparison, at least eight MLB teams have worn memorial patches this season alone. And get this: There have already been more memorials appearing on MLB uniforms since the year 2000 than there were during the entire century of the 1900s.Whats the reason for the increased pace of uniform memorials? It appears that there are several explanations -- some logistical, some cultural and most of them interrelated:? Part of it is just a numbers game -- there are more teams and more players now than there were in, say, 1965. From a simple actuarial standpoint, that means there are more MLB-affiliated people who are, sadly, going to die, which in turn means there will be more situations that call for uniform memorials.? In addition, the scope of whos considered to be memorial-worthy has become much broader and more inclusive. Teams now routinely wear patches for deceased broadcasters, clubhouse managers, groundskeepers, minority owners, owners spouses, scouting directors and other figures who never would have been honored in years past.? Moreover, as sports teams have increasingly viewed themselves as part of the fabric of their local communities, uniform memorials have expanded to include the victims of natural disasters, mass shootings, or other public tragedies, as well as fallen civic and political leaders.? Culturally speaking, we now appear to be in a less stoic, more expressive era, where outward gestures of all sorts -- including expressions of grief or sympathy in response to death -- are much more common and acceptable than they used to be. One result of that is that the sports worlds default response to a death is to acknowledge it in some way on a uniform. Even the patches themselves have become more expressive, with simple numbers or initials often giving way to more elaborate designs.That spirit of expressiveness can even extend into the opposing dugout. In 2013, for example, the Angels wore a memorial patch for longtime team orthopedist Dr. Lewis Yocum. When the Mariners came to Anaheim for a three-game series in June of that year, several Seattle players wore the Yocum patch, creating the once--unthinkable scenario of players on one team wearing the patch of another team.dddddddddddd? The explosion of sports media coverage, social media and jersey merchandising (and, um, uniform columnists) has led to much more attention being paid to small uniform details. One result of this is that fans now expect and sometimes even demand that a team respond to a death on its uniform.? Finally, the advent of digital design software and digitally driven embroidery machinery has made it much easier for patches to be designed and produced very quickly. What once took days can now often be done in hours, so adding a patch is much simple than it used to be.Add all of that together and you have our current remembrance-intensive uniform scene. But it took a while to get here. Black armbands didnt give way to memorial patches until 1973, when the Pirates wore a 21 patch for Roberto Clemente, who had died in a winter plane crash during a humanitarian mission. And even then, the Pirates took a series of steps before wearing the patch. They wore a simple strip of black fabric during spring training, then briefly covered the fabric with what appears to have been a paper cut-out (details on that part of the story are sketchy), and then finally adopted the regular patch.If you look again at the list of uniform memorials compiled by Shieber, the Hall of Fame curator, you can see that patches didnt immediately catch on in the wake of the Clemente patch. With a couple of exceptions, black armbands remained the standard for the next 10 years or so, until patches began to overtake them in the mid-1980s. Today the black armband is nearly extinct (perhaps it deserves its own memorial). The last team to wear one on an extended basis -- as opposed to a one- or two-game placeholder stint until a patch was ready to go -- was the 2012 Red Sox, who wore a black band for Johnny Pesky on their road jerseys but used a patch on their home and alternate jerseys.As uniform memorials have spread, theyve also become more personal, with players increasingly inclined to add their own memorial messaging to their uniforms, regardless of whether the team has added a patch. Technically speaking, this practice violates MLB uniform rules, but team and league officials tend to allow it these days.Most of these personal memorials take the form of handwritten notes on the players caps, but a few players have gotten more creative. After Cardinals pitcher Darryl Kile passed away in 2002, for example, teammate Jason Simontacchi saluted him via a memorial ankle-band -- presumably the only such accessory ever worn in MLB history. And when another Cardinals pitcher, Josh Hancock, died in 2007, his former college teammate Tim Hudson, then pitching for the Braves, had Hancocks initials sewn onto his jersey.Still, no memorial gesture -- team-based, league-based, or personal -- can top what the Marlins did for Fernández on Monday night, with the entire team wearing his jersey. Itll be interesting to see if other teams do something similar when the next tragedy inevitably strikes. Heres hoping we have to wait a long time to find out.Would you like to nominate a uniform or uni element to be showcased in a future Friday Flashback installment?

NAPA, Calif. -- Bill Haas, Max Homa and Harold Varner III have something in common at the Safeway Open.They were fill-ins for Tiger Woods.Another PGA Tour season begins Thursday at Silverado in what was billed as the return of Tiger Woods, right up until the point that Woods decided his game was vulnerable and not where it needed to be for him to compete. The announcement at the start of the week spoiled the plans of the Safeway Open to make the golf course -- and not the vineyards -- the place to be.Woods was going to play the pro-am on Wednesday with Stephen Curry, the two-time MVP for the Golden State Warriors. Then, he was to be in the same group as Phil Mickelson and defending champion Emiliano Grillo for the opening two rounds.Varner took over as the pro in Currys group, with both going to college in North Carolina (Varner at East Carolina, Curry at Davidson).Got to thank Tiger, Varner said. If it wasnt for Tiger, I wouldnt be here. I had a good time.Haas is a six-time winner on the PGA Tour. One of those victories was at Congressional for the AT&T National where Woods was the host.As for Homa?The former Cal star made it back to the PGA Tour and was an alternate for the Safeway Open. He got into the tournament when Woods withdrew. Homa tweeted later that day, Thanks Tiger. Next time we hang out, dinners on me. Get back out here soon plz. Sincerely, Your biggest fan.In the meantime, the 2016-17 season begins without him.MICKELSON RIDING HIGH: Mickelson has played 24 times in 35 weeks this year, and the 46-year-old was full of energy when he arrived at the Safeway Open. Attribute that to the Ryder Cup, were Lefty was the vocal leader for the Americans and turned in the top performance on the final day of an American victory. He made 10 birdies and needed them all for a halve against Sergio Garcia.Mickelson hasnt won since 2013, but that team victory at Hazeltine filled a void.Im still on an emotional high, and even though Ive been running around this last week, my energy level is up and Im optimistic about having a good week, Mickelson said. I love the golf course and the feel. Its in California and Im excited to play.The first tournament of the new season is also the last tournament for Mickelson this year.THE COMEBACK: One player dressed head-to-toe in Nike has chosen the Safeway Open to return from a back injury.And yes, Nick Watney is playing.Watney had a herniated disc and last played at Torrey Pines in January. Instead of surgery, he opted to take eight months off for rest and therapy. He began chipping and putting in August. His back specialist put him on what amounted to a pitch count so he wouldnt overdo. Watney was excited to be back on the tour, and several players did a double take when they saw him head to the practice range Wednesday. It had been a long time.THE SHOW: Curry brought some star power to the pro-am, and he put on a show with a birdie on his final hole.But the biggest shot came from Varner.Someone set up a makeshift basketball goal in the bleachers, and Curry and Varner took turns heaving shots into the grandstand at the hoop. None came particularly close until Varner let one fly and banked it in.I dont know if he was really trying, Varner said.THE ROOKIES: The players who make their PGA Tour debuts as card-carrying members can seek inspiration from the defending champion.A year ago, Grillo won the Web.com Tour Championship, and two weeks later began his PGA Tour career with a playoff victory at Silverado. He wound up making it to the Tour Championship and finishing 11th in the FedEx Cup.The previous two winners since the tour went to a wraparound season in 2013 also reached the Tour Championship -- Jimmy Walker and Sang-moon Bae.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. -- Nelly Korda won the Sioux Falls GreatLIFE Challenge on Sunday for her first Symetra Tour title.The 18-year-old Korda, the sister of LPGA Tour winner Jessica Korda and daughter of former tennis champion Petr Korda, closed with a 5-under 66 for a three-stroke victory at Willow Run.I dont even have words, Korda said. Having my first professional win out here is just amazing. The atmosphere today was just amazing. I could not have asked for a better day and a better week.She earned $31,500 to jump from 27th to 11th on the money list with $57,316. The top 10 after the final five events will earn LPGA Tour cards, setting up a possible sister act next year.I mean its been my dream ever since I competed in the U.S. Open at 14, Korda said. Just being with her and alongside her has always been a really big dream of mine and hopefully I can fulfill that dream by getting my LPGA Tour card. But Im just going to take it a step at a time and not really think about that and just enjoy my time out here.Third-round leader Wichanee Meechai was second after a 70. She moved from 11th to fourth on the money list..ddddddddddddMoney leader Madelene Sagstrom and Ally McDonald, second on the money list, tied for third at 9 under. Sagstrom had a 71, and McDonald shot 64.Korda finished at 14-under 270. She birdied three of the first five holes to jump into a share of the lead, highlighting the run with a 25-foot chip-in on the par-4 third.With the chip-in, it was kind of an awkward stance, Korda said. It was downwind and downhill and it was a very delicate shot and I just told myself, `Youve had this putt a couple of times you know how it turns -- just execute it. Pick your target, hit it and move on. I was just going for a par and then it rolled in. It was definitely a big boost.Korda added birdied on the par-5 14th and the par-4 15th.I putted really well, Korda said. Every aspect of my game was really good. If I hit a couple of loose shots I knew I could get up-and-down. I was really comfortable with my short game and my putting. Everything really clicked this week and Im really happy about that.

LOUIS -- St. LAWRENCE, Kan. -- For a moment during the third quarter, the Oklahoma State Cowboys more resembled a rugby club than an American college football team.Mason Rudolph threw for 220 yards and one touchdown, Jalen McCleskey caught six passes for 129 yards, Justice Hill ran for 162 yards and Oklahoma State (5-2, 3-1 Big 12) extinguished Kansas homecoming excitement, winning 44-20.The rugby act came after Kansas Montell Cozart tossed a deep pass, intended for wide receiver LaQuvionte Gonzalez, but the ball ricocheted up and Oklahoma State free safety Jordan Sterns brought it down. Sterns scrambled up the field for 21 yards and then lateraled the ball to defensive tackle Vincent Taylor.Weve become the lateral kings, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said.And the play wasnt over.Taylor ran for 14 yards before lateraling to defensive end Jarrell Owens. Owens ran for another 29 yards before being brought down by Gonzalez at the Kansas 16.Gundy didnt know how many laterals were thrown during that play, but he knew more than one was enough.I was OK with one, Gundy said. ... Three times? I vote for one lateral and then tuck it away and get what you can get.Oklahoma State chipped in a 25-yard field goal a few plays after the chaos.With less than four minutes remaining in the third quarter, Kansas (1-6, 0-4) Cozart was pressed on third-and-7 deep in Jayhawk territory and threw an interception straight into the hands of Oklahoma State defensive tackle DeQuinton Osborne. Osborne, standing at 6-foot and weighing 310 pounds, ran down to Kansas sideline to the 1-yard line.Cozart said he, as a film junkie, hadnt seen where Oklahoma State has their nose guard drop back in coverage.They got us on that one. They got me, Cozart said of the Osborne interception. They had seven guys walk up. I knew one of those guys was going to be free. I had a high route to the righht and I knew.dddddddddddd They got us on that one.On the following play, Oklahoma State running back Rennie Childs punched in the ball to put the Cowboys up 31-20.Kansas started off hot, scoring first halfway through the first quarter by a Cozart-to-Gonzalez 68-yard pass. The Jayhawks held a lead until three minutes before halftime when Hill inched in a 1-yard touchdown run to make the score 17-13.Kansas came close to getting within one point, attempting a 59-yard field goal as time expired before halftime. With five seconds remaining in the half, Oklahoma States Motekiai Maile blocked the kick. Kansas couldnt recover, scoring only one more time before the game ended.Our coaches made some really good adjustments in the second half and the players did a nice job of taking it out on the field, Gundy said.Cozart threw for 250 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions, Keaun Kinner rushed for 145 yards, and Gonzalez hauled in six passes for 106 yards in the Jayhawks 21st-straight loss to FBS opponents.THE TAKEAWAYKansas: The Kansas defense sacked Mason Rudolph five times, the most a Jayhawk squad has brought down a Cowboy quarterback in program history. Dorance Armstrong sacked Rudolph once, extending his sack streak to five-straight games.Oklahoma State: The Cowboys scored 17 points off Jayhawk turnovers.STATLINE:With 14 points on Saturday, Oklahoma State kicker Ben Grogan is the new career scoring leader at Oklahoma State. He tied former Cowboy kicker Dan Baileys record with his first extra point of the day and surpassed Bailey on the first field goal of the day. Grogan currently has 383 career points.UP NEXTKansas travels to Oklahoma to play the Sooners on Oct. 29.Oklahoma State hosts West Virginia on Oct. 29.

Its rare for a pitcher to win an MVP award.For the same pitcher to win it twice is almost unheard of.If the season ended now, Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers would have a good chance to do just that. With an 11-2 record and a 1.79 ERA, the left-hander is putting up numbers awfully similar to those of his MVP campaign in 2014. The big question now is how quickly he can come back from a back injury that landed him on the disabled list.In 2014, Kershaw became the first pitcher to win the National League MVP since Bob Gibson in 1968. It isnt exactly common in the AL either, and for one pitcher to win twice in three years would be a staggering achievement. Since the MVP was first awarded by the BBWAA in 1931, only two pitchers have won the award more than once. Hal Newhouser took AL honors in 1944 and 1945, and Carl Hubbell won the NL version in 1933 and 1936.Both those players did it before there was a Cy Young Award for pitchers to win. So Kershaw faces an additional obstacle: Now that pitchers have their own award, theres always a debate over whether they should have a chance to be the MVP as well.Working in Kershaws favor is the fact that no position player in the NL has emerged in the way Bryce Harper did last year, when he won MVP honors. Among NL position players in 2016, the best candidates might be batting leader Daniel Murphy or home run leader Kris Bryant. Neither is having the type of transcendent year that would keep Kershaw out of the conversation.Heres a look at some other major award races:NL Cy Young: Its still possible for Kershaw to miss out on the MVP and the Cy Young. He has plenty of competition for the latter, be it from San Franciscos duo of Madison Bumgarner and Johnny Cueto or Jose Fernandez of Miami. And then theres Stephen Strasburg of Washington, who is 12-0 with a 2.62 ERA.AL MVP: Josh Donaldson of Toronto edged Mike Trout of Los Angeles for this award last year, and they might finish 1-2 again. Like in 2015, Donaldsons team is playing better than Trouts -- which could swing the race in the Toronto sluggers favor.AL Cy Young: Chris Sale of the Chicago White Sox has the eye-opening record (14-3) but his 3.38 ERA is high enough to leave the door open for other candidates. Oaklands Rich Hill is 9-3 with a 2.25 ERA, but hes thrown only 76 innings. Clevelands Danny Salazar could also factor into this wide open race, and there might even be room for a reliever to make a case -- Baltimores Zach Britton has 27 saves and an 0.72 ERA.Here are a few other developments from around baseball this past week:STRUGGLING CHAMPSThe Kansas City Royals lost arguably their most intimidating player when closer Wade Davis went on the disabled list with a strained right forearm. Davis is 1-0 with a 1.23 ERA and 19 saves -- and thats actually a higher ERA than he had in 2014 or 2015. Kansas City is tied for third in the AL Central, seven games out of first place. The Royals are also 4 1/2 games out of a wild card.FANTASY FOCUSSpeaking of injured closers, Boston lost Craig Kimbrel to a knee problem, and the Red Sox acquired Brad Ziegler from Arizona to fill in. Ziegler is expected to share closing duties with Koji Uehara.LINE OF THE WEEKYasmani Grandal of the Los Angeles Dodgers hit three home runs and had six RBI in a 10-6 win over San Diego on Friday night.

CLEVELAND -- Kris Bryant started to smile even before he fielded the ball. And with his throw to first for the final out, the agonizing wait `til next year was over at last.No more Billy Goat, no more Bartman, no more black-cat curses.For a legion of fans who waited a lifetime, fly that W: Your Chicago Cubs are World Series champions.Ending more than a century of flops, futility and frustration, the Cubs won their first title since 1908, outlasting the Cleveland Indians 8-7 in 10 innings of a Game 7 thriller early Thursday.They even had to endure an extra-inning rain delay to end the drought.It happened. It happened. Chicago, it happened, first baseman Anthony Rizzo said after gloving the ball for the final out. We did it. Were world champions. I tell ya, were world champions. I cant believe it.Rizzo put that final ball in his pocket as the Cubs piled up in the middle of the diamond, David Ross got carried off the field by his teammates and Bill Murray partied in the clubhouse.And the whole time, blue-clad fans who traveled from Wrigley Field filled nearly the entire lower deck behind the Chicago dugout at Progressive Field, singing Go, Cubs, Go! in rain. They held up those white flags with the large blue W on a night many of their forebears had waited for in vain.Lovable losers for generations, the Cubs nearly let this one get away, too. All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman blew a 6-3 lead with two outs in the eighth when Rajai Davis hit a tying, two-run homer.But the Cubs, after tormenting their fans one more time, came right back after a 17-minute rain delay before the top of the 10th.Series MVP Ben Zobrist hit an RBI double and Miguel Montero singled home a run to make it 8-6. Davis delivered an RBI single with two outs in the bottom half, but Mike Montgomery closed it out at 12:47 a.m., and the celebration was on.I think about so many millions of people giving so much love and support to this team for so many years, said owner Tom Ricketts, who family bought the team in 2009.Manager Joe Maddons team halted the longest stretch without a title in baseball, becoming the first club to overcome a 3-1 Series deficit since the 1985 Kansas City Royals.This is an epic game. Its epic. I cant believe we were able to do it -- 108 years in the making, Zobrist said. We did it.They never quit, either, Zobrist said. They kept coming at us.Cleveland was trying to win its first crown since 1948, but manager Terry Franconas club lost the last two games at home.World Series favorites since spring training, Chicago led the majors with 103 wins this season.The Cubs then ended more than a century of misery for their loyal fans -- barely. Bryant, one of Chicagos young stars, began to celebrate even before fielding a grounder by Michael Martinez to third base and throwing it across to Rizzo for the last out.Its the best rain delay of all-time, Rizzo said.Zobrist got a Series-high 10 hits, a year after he helped the Royals win the championship. Zobrist was among the players brought to the Cubs by Theo Epstein, the baseball guru who added another crown to his collection. He also assembled the Red Sox team that broke Bostons 86-year drought by winning in 2004.From Curse of the Bambino to the Billy Goat Curse, he ended another jinx.We dont need a plane to fly home, Epstein said. Its fitting its got to be done with one of the best games of all time.Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward had called a meeting during the rain delay, talking to his teammates in the weight room.I just had to remind everybody who we are, what weve overcome to get here, he said.While Cubs fans hugged with delight, there was only despair for the Indians, who now have gone longer than anyone without a crown. In the Indians previous World Series appearance, they were a double-play grounder from winning the 1997 title before losing Game 7 in 11 innings to the Marlins.Its going to hurt. It hurts because we care, but they need to walk with their head held high because they left nothing on the field, Francona said.Earlier this year, LeBron James and the Cavvaliers ended Clevelands 52-year championship drought by overcoming a 3-1 deficit to beat Golden State for the NBA title.dddddddddddd James and teammates were in a suite, rooting hard, as the Indians absorbed the same blow as the Warriors.After defeating San Francisco and the Los Angeles Dodgers in the playoffs, Chicago became the first team to earn a title by winning Games 6 and 7 on the road since the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates.Dexter Fowler homered on Corey Klubers fourth pitch of the game, 23-year-old Javier Baez and the 39-year-old Ross -- set to now retire -- also went deep for the Cubs, who led 5-1 in the fifth inning and 6-3 in the eighth.Chapman wound up with the win, and Montgomery got one out for his first save in the majors.Bryan Shaw, who gave up a leadoff single to Kyle Schwarber in the 10th, took the loss in just the fourth Game 7 that went to extra innings.Albert Almora Jr., pinch-running for Schwarber, alertly took second on Bryants long fly to center. Rizzo was intentionally walked, and Zobrist slapped an opposite-field double past a diving third baseman Jose Ramirez. Montero singled to make it a two-run lead.Then in the bottom half, Carl Edwards Jr. struck out Mike Napoli, Ramirez grounded out, Brandon Guyer walked and Davis hit an RBI single. Montgomery took over, and helped set off a wild celebration on Chicagos North Side.Even a dedicated White Sox fan could appreciate the victory.It happened: (at)Cubs win World Series. Thats change even this South Sider can believe in. Want to come to the White House before I leave? President Barack Obama tweeted.Twenty-one other teams had won the World Series since Cubs last were champions. They reached the top again on the 39,466th day after Orval Overalls three-hit shutout won the 1908 finale at Detroit in a game that took 1 hour, 24 minutes -- this latest Game 7 lasted 4:24, not including the rain delay.Back then, Theodore Roosevelt was president, New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska and Hawaii were not yet states, and the first Ford Model T car was two weeks old.The Cubs were last champions when Joe Tinker, Johnny Evers and Frank Chance won consecutive titles in 1907-08, until now the only ones in team history. The Cubbies had not even reached the Series since 1945.This one was for Ernie Banks, Ferguson Jenkins, Ron Santo and Billy Williams, who never reached the postseason.For Gabby Hartnett, Ryne Sandberg and Greg Maddux, whose October runs fell short.For Lee Elia and the nickle-dime people who spent so many wind-swept afternoons in the Friendly Confines watching loss after loss.For Bill Veeck, who planted ivy vines against Wrigley Fields outfield walls.For William Sianis, the Billy Goat Tavern owner said to have proclaimed when he was asked to leave Wrigley with his pet during the `45 Series: Them Cubs, they aint gonna win no more.For Steve Bartman, whose life was upended when he tried to catch a foul ball as the Cubs came apart in the 2003 playoffs.And for Harry Caray, who promised viewers after the 1991 finale that sure as God made green apples, someday the Chicago Cubs are going to be in the World Series.Maddon, hired before the 2015 season, won his first Series title after establishing a loose clubhouse that featured at times Warren the pink flamingo, Simon the magician and the motto: Try not to suck.It was just an epic battle, Zobrist said. Just blow for blow, everybody playing their heart out. The Indians never gave up, either, and I cant believe were finally standing, after 108 years, finally able to hoist the trophy.PEN PALSThis was the first World Series in which no starting pitcher got at least one out in the seventh inning, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The only other in which no starter finished at least seven innings was in 2002, when San Franciscos Russ Ortiz threw 6 1/3 innings in Game 6.UP NEXTClevelands spring training opener is scheduled for Feb. 26 against the Cubs in Mesa, Arizona.

PHOENIX -- Christian Friedrich had a chance to work out of trouble after allowing a run and two more runners in the third inning.Instead of escaping, he served up a pitch that Ricky Weeks Jr. launched over the wall in center for a three-run homer.It was the worst pitch at the wrong time, Friedrich said after the San Diego Padres lost 7-5 to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night.Weeks homer got the Diamondbacks started on a night when 14,110 fans showed up, the smallest crowd in Chase Fields 18-year history.Paul Goldschmidt had an RBI single and a sacrifice fly after being named to his fourth straight NL All-Star team. Jean Segura sparked Arizonas lineup from the leadoff spot, finishing with three hits, three runs and an RBI.Zack Godley (2-0) worked around trouble through five innings and so did Brad Ziegler in the ninth, giving up a leadoff homer to Brad Schimpf and two more hits before striking out Matt Kemp to close out his 18th save.The Diamondbacks had three triples to match a team record and twice scored in the bottom half of an inning after San Diego scored in the top half to win for the second time in 10 games.We appreciate the people who were here. I thought we played well, Arizona manager Chip Hale said. The guys didnt let down because it wasnt a big crowd with a lot of emotion. They created their own emotion in the dugout. Thats baseball.San Diegos Wil Myers had a run-scoring triple among his four hits and drove in a run after being named to his first NL All-Star team before the game. The Padres out-hit Arizona 12-10, but stranded seven runners and couldnt overcome Friedrichs shaky start.Its kind of what its been like the last few times out, Padres manager Andy Green said. He has some crisp innings and then gets into trouble. He misses some pitches and they take advantage of that.Godley made one start and five relief appearances during his first stint with the Diamondbacks and was called up from Triple-A Reno to start against the Padres.The right-hander caused himself some problems when he started the third inning by walking Friedrich. Myers drove him in with a run-scoring triple and later scored on Yangervis Solartes run-scoring single that put the Padres up 2-0.Godley ran into more trouble in the fifth, when Kemp and Alex Dickerson hit run-scoring doubles to tie the game at 4.Godley allowed four runs and eight hits in five innings. He was sent back to Reno after the game and left-hander Zac Curtis was recalled.A lot of mis-hit balls off him, Hale said. His ball moves a lot. If he can get that with the location, down in the zone a little more, hes going to be something.Friedrich (4-4) entered Tuesdays game 2-0 with a 1.17 ERA in 15 career appearances against Arizona.The left-hander did not have the same effectiveness this time, allowing one more run (4) in the third inning than he had the previous 25 combined. Goldschmidt drove in the first with a run-scoring single and Weeks followed with his three-run homer to center.Crooked numbers are hard to get rid of right now, said Friedrich, who gave up five runs, six hits and struck out five in five innings.LAMB ROARINGJake Lamb entered the game as a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning and fell behind in the count. Players on Arizonas bench said he should take a protective swing with two strikes.Hale knew better and Lamb proved him right, hitting a triple to the corner in right before scoring on Seguras RBI single.They said it when he got two strikes, just put it in play. I said `Hes going to get extra bases, theres no doubt about it, Hale said. Hes just a machine right now.Thats for sure. Lamb has an extra-base hit in seven straight games, longest by an Arizona player since Goldschmidt did it in eight straight games from July 2-9, 2009. Lamb has seven triples to match team record before the All-Star Break, previously set three times.TRAINING ROOMPadres: RHP Tyson Ross (shoulder) is expected to throw his final extended bullpen on Wednesday.Diamondbacks: CF A.J.

DeAnthony Thomas Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. (STATS) -- It was clutch, miraculous and just enough to get Youngstown State back to a place it used to go to frequently:The FCS national championship game.Redshirt junior tight end Kevin Rader caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from Hunter Wells with 1 second remaining to lift Youngstown State to a 40-38 victory over No. 2 seed Eastern Washington in a national semifinal Saturday at frigid Roos Field in Cheney, Washington.The Penguins (12-3) will play No. 4 seed James Madison (13-1) in the national final Jan. 7 in Frisco, Texas. Although they are appearing in the playoffs for the first time in 10 years, the program won four FCS (then NCAA Division I-AA) national titles in the 1990s and has been the runner-up twice. They are 29-7 all-time in the playoffs.The winning drive came after Eastern Washington (12-2) took a 38-34 lead on wide receiver Shaq Hills 1-yard run with 4:24 left.Following a squib kick by Eastern Washington, the Penguins drove 58 yards on 11 plays. The 6-foot-5, 250-pound Rader caught his winning touchdown in the rear of the Eagles end zone when he wrapped his right arm under linebacker Ketner Kupps arm and secured the football on the defenders back with his feet on the ground before he was pushed out of bounds.They played it very well, that linebacker walled me off. He played it pretty much perfect, Rader said. I saw the ball in the air and I made the play on it.I didnt have a good look at it, YSU second-year coach Bo Pelini said. All I could hear is the guys right next to me going, He caught it, he caught it, he caught it.An officials review of the play confirmed the touchdown. Ahead 40-38, the Penguins took a knee on the extra point to avoid risking a blocked kick that Eastern Washington could return for two points. On the ensuing kickoff, the Eagles went through a number of laterals before the Penguins downed Cooper Kupp with the ball to end the game.It was a heck of a football game. A real crazy way to end it, Pelini said. We had guys making plays all night, they had guys making plays in tough conditions.Tevin McCaster rushed for 154 yards and three touchdowns and the Penguins won despite facing as much as a two-touchdown deficit (24-10) in the second quarter.The Penguins also overcame a tumultuous week in which there were reports of key players being suspended for the semifinal because of possitive NCAA drug tests following the teams second-round win over Jacksonville State on Dec.dddddddddddd 3.While Pelini and school administrators did not confirm or deny the suspensions during the week, the short-handed Penguins played without second-leading rusher Martin Ruiz; wide receiver Darien Townsend, who leads the team in receiving yards; and safeties Jameel Smith and LeRoy Alexander, their No. 2 and 3 tacklers, respectively.The game-time temperature was 12 degrees and it eventually dipped below 0 with wind chill. Eastern Washingtons Gage Gubrud passed for 353 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions. Cooper Kupp had 10 receptions for 180 yards and two TDs, including one from Sam McPherson on a halfback option pass.Much of Eastern Washingtons aerial assault came in the first half. The Penguins running game grew more effective in the second half, with Jody Webb finishing with 101 of their 263 yards on the ground.In fact, Youngstown State outgained the Eagles more prolific offense 506-478. Wells was 16 of 24 for 243 yards, also throwing an 11-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Alvin Bailey to pull Youngstown State within 31-27 early in the fourth quarter.They might have changed a few things, and I felt like they were getting decent pressure, so sometimes it was a little tougher to let some things develop, Eagles coach Beau Baldwin said. We ran only so many plays, too, in the second half, so there werent as many opportunities. We were still able to get a two-score lead going into the fourth quarter.The loss marked the fourth time Eastern Washington has fallen in the FCS semifinals. The Eagles won their only title in 2010.Gubrud wound up passing former Old Dominion quarterback Taylor Heinickes FCS single-season record of 5,076 passing yards, finishing with 5,160. His 5,766 yards of total offense set the Big Sky Conferences single-season mark.NFL-bound Cooper Kupp ended his amazing career with 428 receptions, 6,464 receiving yards and 73 touchdown receptions -- all Division I records.But the passing play that will be forever remembered in the thrilling semifinal was Wells-to-Rader-to-the-FCS-final.I knew if he threw me the ball, Rader said, I had to come down with it.

A free beer from your mate is usually something youd be happy about.But Ricky Stuart hopes hes the one shouting a cold one on Saturday night, not Craig Bellamy.The NRL coaches will face off for a spot in this years grand final, with Bellamys Melbourne hosting Stuarts Canberra at AAMI Park.Only once before have they gone head-to-head at the helm in a finals match - in 2008, when a Stuart-led Cronulla lost to the Storm 28-0 in a preliminary final at Sydney Football Stadium.But the pair go way back.Back to the late 1980s and early 90s when they both played for the Raiders.Were best of mates, Stuart said.They regularly share texts and phone calls and bag each other out.Not even the ferocity of finals football can turn them into enemies, with the two still chatting throughout this week as they have done all season.Yeah, Ive been talking to Craig, Stuart said.I dont enjoy coaching against him though.I prefer not to coach against friends, but its a bit different this week.Well just go about doing our jobs the best we possibly can for our clubs and we both hope we win.I want to beat Craig, he wants to beat me.But its not about us. We dont have to play. Its about the boys and weve just got to get them prepared as best we possibly can.Few other coaches in the NRL can appreciate, or even understand, the passion Stuart has for his club as much as Bellamy.But, according to Stuart, the Storm mentor is no different and has plenty of purple pride.Were pretty similar personalities Craig and I - although Im a lot happier than Craig, Stuart smiled.No bets have been wagered between the pair, but theres one tradition that will stand regardless who wins.The winner always goes into the other shed and takes a beer, Stuart said.Hes been doing a lot of shouting over the past 10 years, so I hope Im taking a beer into him.RICKY STUART V CRAIG BELLAMY:Games played for Canberra - Stuart: 243 v Bellamy: 149Head-to-head record as coaches: Stuart 5 v Bellamy 10NRL games coached - Stuart: 318 v Bellamy: 366NRL games won as coach - Stuart: 156 (49.1%) v Bellamy: 245 (66.9%)NRL premierships as coach - Stuart: 1 (Sydney Roosters, 2002) v Bellamy 1 (Storm, 2012; stripped of titles in 2007 and 2009 for salary cap breaches) http://www.giantsrookiestore.com/Giants-Nat-Berhe-Jersey/ .Y. - Free agent outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, fresh off winning the World Series with Boston, reached agreement with the rival New York Yankees on a seven-year contract worth about $153 million, a person familiar with the negotiations said Tuesday night. http://www.giantsrookiestore.com/Giants-Lawrence-Taylor-Jersey/ .

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jaguars running back Denard Robinson insists he wasnt under the influence of drugs or alcohol when he fell asleep behind the wheel of his car that rolled through a red light and into a retention pond.Robinson was cited for careless driving a week after the July 3 accident. The Jacksonville Sheriffs Offices began an investigation of officers who responded to the scene.I feel blessed, man, Robinson said Thursday after the teams first training camp practice. It could have been a situation where I couldnt be talking to yall right now. The situation could have been way worse than that. I could have hurt somebody or killed somebody. Im truly blessed that nothing happened to nobody.Its one of those things that open your eyes and say youve got to count your blessing, and I understand that.Robinson said he ended up dozing off at the intersection a little after 4 a.m. after a busy day. The former Michigan star added that he probably should have just stayed in.Police say officers found Robinson asleep in his Chevy Impala while it was sinking in the pond. The 25-year-old player and a female passenger, his cousin, were unhurt. But officers had to tell Robinson multiple times the car was in the pond and persuade him to get out of the car, according to the police report.One officer questioned Robinson and determined he was not impaired. But the report said police did not perform any drug and alcohol tests.They questioned me. They did a lot of questions. They did a lot of tests, Robinson said. I made a mistake. It was a mistake that happened, and Ive got to deal with it. Im a man. Im going to have to face it and do what I have to do.General manager Daave Caldwell and coach Gus Bradley have defended Robinson, saying he did nothing wrong other than being out a little later than he should have.dddddddddddd.I think that is a cautionary tale for a lot of our guys that at 3 or 4 in the morning you leave yourself vulnerable for things to happen, Caldwell said earlier this week.The accident came two weeks after Jaguars linebacker Dan Skuta was arrested in Orlando for allegedly pushing the face of a woman whose head hit a glass window. The battery charge was dismissed July 14 after the state attorneys office determined the case was not suitable for prosecution.It was extremely odd for me because I didnt even know what happened, Skuta said Thursday. I didnt know what I was being accused of, so Im sitting there thinking Im just being attacked by a police officer. I had no idea.Obviously, they thought they had a reason or whatever. It was very odd. I was very confused. I had two people there that saw the whole thing, and I wish that maybe the police officers would have taken the time to talk to them. That would have been very helpful, but that didnt happen.Skuta said legal fees cost him $10,000.Robinson, meanwhile, had little damage to his car.Now, both are trying to repair their reputations and move forward.As far as Dan and Denard go, there are probably not two guys in our locker room that take care of their business as well as those guys do, Caldwell said. I think they are both class acts. They are both high-character guys.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Jerseys 2020 Wholesale Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys ' ' '

LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- Russian high jumper Anna Chicherova was stripped of her bronze medal from the 2008 Beijing Olympics on Thursday, the latest athlete sanctioned after the retesting of stored doping samples.Chicherova, who won the gold medal at the 2012 London Games, tested positive for turinabol and has been retroactively disqualified from Beijing, the International Olympic Committee said.The Russian Olympic Committee should secure the return of her bronze medal as soon as possible, the IOC said.The IOC also asked tracks governing body, the IAAF, to consider any further sanctions against the 34-year-old Chicherova, who is still active but could face a two-year ban.Another Russian -- Yelena Slesarenko -- finished fourth in the high jump in Beijing. She stands to move up to the bronze if the IOC decides to reallocate the medals.The IOC ruling made no mention of Chicherovas gold medal from London, which appears to be unaffected. She told Russian media earlier this year that retests of her 2012 sample came back negative.The IAAF said it would cancel all of Chicherovas results from 2008 to 2010, including her silver medal at the 2009 world championships in Berlin. Chicherova won gold at the 2011 worlds.The IOC stores doping samples for 10 years to allow for them to be reanalyzed when improved testing methods become available. The new tests can detect the use of steroids going back weeks and months, rather than days.The IOC has recorded 98 positive cases in recent retests of more than 1,000 samples from Beijing and London.The IOCs 22-page written decision in the Chicherova case cited a pattern of delay and obstruction by the athlete and her legal team.The IOC first noted that the athlete and her counsel had been deliberately attempting to obstruct the process, first the analytical process and then the disciplinary proceedings, the ruling said.The IOC also noted that turinabol was a doping substance commonly used in Russia in the concerned period.Chicherova won the high jump at the Russian nationals in June, clearing 1.98 meters.She would have been a potential medal contender at the Rio Games. The IAAF banned the Russian track team -- apart from U.S.-based long jumper Darya Klishina -- from the games over allegations of state-sponsored doping. Brandon Tate Jersey .

Call the cops. Call the FBI. Call the CIA. Tell them somebody kidnapped all the aces, because if youre trying to trade for one at this years trade deadline, hey, good luck.Over and over, we hear the same grumbling from one club official after another. If this isnt the worst deadline starting-pitching market ever, its definitely in the argument.If youre a team that desperately needs a starter, one NL executive said this week, its a tough year to try to find one who can make a difference.Oh, there are names out there, another NL exec said. I mean, you can call the White Sox about Chris Sale and they wouldnt hang up. You can call the Rays about Chris Archer. They wouldnt hang up. I just dont feel like theyre really as available as the kind of pitchers who were available in the past. Those guys in the past, they were getting moved. I dont see that this year.If Sale and Archer dont get traded this week, and with Drew Pomeranz already off the board, its likely that, if you check the major-league ERA leaders, NOBODY in the top 40 (among qualifying starters) will get dealt between now and the deadline. And the only qualifying starters with ERAs under 4.00 who are showing up in any legitimate rumors at the moment are Jeremy Hellickson (3.65), Ervin Santana (3.93) and Matt Shoemaker (3.99).Now compare that with the big-name starters who filled up the transactions column at previous deadlines:2015 - David Price, Cole Hamels, Johnny Cueto, Mike Leake, Scott Kazmir 2014 - Price, Jon Lester, Jake Peavy, John Lackey, Jeff Samardzija 2013 - Peavy, Matt Garza, Ian Kennedy 2012 - Zack Greinke, Ryan Dempster, Francisco Liriano 2011 - Ubaldo Jimenez, Doug Fister 2010 - Cliff Lee, Roy Oswalt, Dan Haren 2009 - Lee, Peavy 2008 - CC Sabathia, Rich HardenHeard of those guys? Great. Now lets put all those names in better perspective. Over the last eight deadlines, there were nine trades that involved former Cy Young Award winners. And the only year in that span that didnt include a deal involving at least one former Cy Young was 2011.But even 2011 featured the trade of Jimenez, a top-three Cy Young finisher the year before who was still a big-name guy at the time, one exec said. So to find the last deadline as bereft of impact starters as this one, youd have to journey all the way back to 2007, when Kyle Lohse, Matt Morris and Joel Pineiro were the only veteran starters who changed zip codes.At least this year there is more depth to the market, with Hellickson, Santana, Edinson Volquez, Rich Hill, Hector Santiago, Andrew Cashner, Ivan Nova and the Tampa Bay buffet line of Matt Moore, Jake Odorizzi and Drew Smyly all realistically available. But that still doesnt compare with the guys last year, an AL exec said.So how did it come to this? What forces have converged to produce this shaky a market? Lets take a look.1. A lousy free-agent classThe trade market, one of the execs quoted earlier said, is a direct reflection of the free-agent market. And this free-agent market isnt good.With Stephen Strasburg?signed through 2023 in Washington now, the best free-agent starters aged 32 or younger this winter are likely to be Hellickson, Nova, Cashner, Brett Anderson, Jon Niese and Clay Buchholz. All employable, but nobody youd confuse with Price, Greinke or Cueto.Hill, Volquez and possibly Kazmir (who has an opt-out) are attractive in the 33-and-up group. But the only current starters, at any age, who rank in the top 40 in ERA and are definitely heading for free agency are Fister and 43-year-old Bartolo Colon. So thats severely limiting the group of rent-a-pitchers you can trade for right now.If you look at past deadlines, how many guys were rentals? another exec wondered. Im betting its a lot.That would be correct. Of the five biggest deals involving starters last July, the only trade for a pitcher under control for multiple years was Texas deal for Hamels.2. Not enough sellersGet ready for that annual chorus of folks screaming that its time to move back the deadline, because too many teams find themselves in limbo in the last week of July. Its a tradition right up there with Mark Rzepczynski getting traded about 12 minutes before every deadline.There are still so many teams who are still in it, an AL exec said. With that second wild card, you have more teams than ever who think theyre still in contention. And this is one of those years. There just arent enough sellers.Heading into Tuesday night, there were 18 teams within six games of a playoff spot, versus only 12 that were clearly out of any sort of race. Then again, even that wasnt so clear.A year ago on July 26, Texas and Toronto were both more than six games back in both their divisions and the wild card. And we know how their seasons turned out. So even teams like Kansas City (8 1/2 out in the division, seven in the wild card) arent ready to sell the way clubs used to in the pre-wild card game era.This might not be the best explanation for this particular market. But its a factor.3. Bad teams have bad pitchersOK, we exaggerate. That isnt totally true. But if you peruse the list of teams at least 10 games under .500, theyre not exactly overflowing with starters to move -- either because theyre too young or too mediocre.A lot of these bad teams, you knew going in [to the season], they were going to be bad, an executive from one contender said. Theyre rebuilding, so theyd already sold off a lot of their guys.Hard to argue. The Phillies traded Hamels LAST July. The Braves moved Alex Wood at last years deadline and Shelby Miller over the winter. The Reds did their unloading, of Cueto and Leake, last year this time. Etc., etc.Those teams have already moved pretty much everything they had, another exec said. So theyre basically tapped out.4. R.I.P. the old-fashioned money dumpWhat used to drive the trades of legends and Cy Youngs at the deadline? Money, of course. What else? Life was so much simpler then -- for the rich teams. You had your haves. You had your have-nots. And they each knew their roles so well.But we dont live on that planet now. In a $9 billion industry with massive revenue-sharing, every team can afford to sign at least a handful of its best young players. And almost no club arrives at July obsessed with just clearing dollar signs off its books.Its not the same, one exec said. No team in the game has NO money. Some teams have less money than others. But no team has no money. It used to be that the teams with no money knew they had to move guys at the deadline. That basically doesnt exist anymore.To find the last legitimate midseason money dump of an ace, youd probably have to ride the time machine all the way back to 2008 and 2009, when the Indians sold off two Cy Youngs (CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee) at back-to-back deadlines. Thats a long, long time ago.The death of the good (or bad) old-fashioned money dump was a great thing for the game. It just wasnt a great thing for the late-July editions of Rumor Central. And the lack of top-of-the-rotation forces available here in July 2016 is pretty much all the proof you need. Camiseta Colombia Mundial 2018 .
