I couldnt be more impressed with true freshman QB?Jalen Hurts, who has accounted for 17 TDs thus far. Its amazing how much he is producing while being asked to do way more than many upperclassman quarterbacks. Between zone reads in the run game and decisions in the passing game, he seems to have no weaknesses, which must make opposing teams very nervous before they step on the field with Alabama. Air Max 97 Ultra Nere . 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.

Defencemen Drew Doughty, Shea Weber and forward Ryan Getzlaf also scored for the Canadians, who started their gold-medal defence 2-0.

FRISCO, Texas -- One day after the Columbus (Ohio) City Attorneys Office decided not to pursue charges against him stemming from allegations of domestic violence toward a former girlfriend, Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott admitted hes learned an important lesson.?Im a target, Elliott said Wednesday in his first public comments. Thats what Ive realized from all of this, and I have to conduct myself that way, so I cannot have any distractions so I can just focus on ball.In July, Tiffany Thompson filed two police reports claiming Elliott abused her and struck her several times ... leaving bruises on her arms. The former Ohio State star, however, told police that he never touched Thompson in a harmful manner, saying she suffered the bruises during a bar fight.On Tuesday, the City Attorneys Office said it declined to pursue charges because of conflicting and inconsistent information. It also said Elliott was cooperative in the investigation and offered affidavits and photographs to support his case.I feel like there has been some damages done, Elliott said of his reputation, but the past is the past. Im focused on now.Elliott, the fourth player taken in the NFL draft, said he wanted to focus on Week 1 opponent the New York Giants.Im ready to leave that all behind me, he said. I really dont want to talk about it much. I tried to block it out and try to focus on football -- whats important. I know I didnt do anything wrong.We were very confident since Day 1. I wasnt really worried that much. I was really ffocused on ball and let my lawyers and representatives handle the rest.ddddddddddddElliott remains under review by the NFL. A player does not need to be formally charged with a crime to be punished under the leagues personal conduct policy.Last month, Elliott found himself in the news for another reason. He visited a legal marijuana dispensary in Seattle before the teams preseason game against the Seahawks, and afterward, owner Jerry Jones and coach Jason Garrett criticized the rookies decision.The Dallas Morning News, meanwhile, obtained court documents that revealed an exchange of texts messages between Elliott and the former girlfriend regarding whether he thought he might fail a drug test.I know youre stressed out, if you need me, call me. Just do everything you can to pass your drug test tomorrow. Youll be okay. Im here for you, the womans text read.Im gonna pass (the test), Elliott replied.The next text, according to The Dallas Morning News, came from Elliott and read: About to live in this sauna the next 24 hours.When asked about the text exchange Wednesday, Elliott said, Honestly, I have no idea what youre talking about. I havent seen those. Im actually talking about football. Im sorry.Note: ESPN typically does not release the names of alleged domestic violence victims, but Thompson posted Instagram photos showing bruises on her body. One of her posts was tagged to Ezekiel Elliott.

MILTON, Ga. -- With Alabama getting set to play in the final of the NCAA mens golf championship for the second year in a row, coach Jay Seawell got a good-natured call from Nick Saban. Obviously, the Crimson Tides football coach knows a thing or two about winning national titles. "He asked, Do you want me to come over and coach your team?" Seawell said Sunday, breaking into a big smile. "I was like, Sure. Youve got a better record in championships than I do." No need. The Tide did just fine without Sabans help. Showing again its more than just a football school, Alabama won its first national title in mens golf with a dominating 4-1 victory over Illinois in match play Sunday. This championship was especially sweet for a team that lost to Texas in last years final. "Its been a long 365 days," Seawell said. "But that just makes it more special. It makes you appreciate it more." Bobby Wyatt got the Tide off to a rousing start in the first match at Capital City Clubs Crabapple Course north of Atlanta, winning the first seven holes on the way to a 6-and-5 blowout of Thomas Detry. Alabama didnt have to sweat it in the final match, either, as Cory Whitsett went 5-up by the turn and cruised to a 4-and-3 victory over Alex Burge. The middle three matches were much tighter -- each of them all-square at one point coming down the stretch, giving Illinois a glimmer of hope at improbably pulling out its first national title. But Trey Mullinax, after squandering chances to pull ahead with three-putts at the 14th and 16th, two-putted from 60 feet for a par at the 18th for a 1-up victory over Charlie Danielson. The Illinois player missed the green with his approach, chipped up to about 10 feet, but rolled the putt past the right lip of the cup for a bogey. When Mullinax knocked down his 3-footer, a huge roar went up from the predominantly Alabama crowd that could be heard by the other groups still on the course. After that, it ended quickly. When Burge missed a 15-foot par putt at the 15th, he conceded Whitsetts short bogey attempt to end that match. Up ahead on the 16th green, at essentially the same time, Scott Strohmeyer rolled in a 3-footer for par to beat Brian Campbell 3-and-2. "Roll Tide!" someone in the gallery shouted. Wyatts strong start helped calm his teammates. They knew the Tide already had one point in the bag, which meant the other four players merely had to split their matches. "Hes a really streaky player," Whitsett said. "When he gets hot, hes really hot. No one can beat him when hes firing on all cylinders." Even so, Wyatt never envisioned being 7-up as he walked off the seventh green. "It doesnt get any better than that," he said. "I just had to keep my head down, keep plugging along. I wanted to get to the finish as early as possible." Thomas Pieters, the 2012 individual champion, earned the Fighting Illinis lone point with a 1-up victory over Alabamas top-ranked player, Justin Thomas. That wasnt nearly enough to halt the Tide, which had been on a mission ever since the bitter loss to Texas a year ago. Alabama lost to the Longhorns 3-2 when, on the final hole, Whitsett came up short of the green and missed a birdie chip, then watched helplessly while Dylan Frittelli rolled in a 20-foot birdie putt to give Texas the crown. "I remember kneeling beside my bag," Whitsett said. "Its the worst Ive ever felt on a golf course." This was the best. "Pure joy," Whitsett said. The victory came nearly five months after Alabama routed Notre Dame in college footballs championship game, giving the school its third national title in four years in the sport that dominates most of the attention on campus. But the Tides athletic success goes far beyond the gridiron. Over the last two academic years, Alabama has also captured national championships in womens golf, softball and gymnastics. "We are a football school. No doubt. We dont have a problem with that," Mullinax said. "But I know the coaches on campus dont feel were just a football school. Weve got a lot of great athletes at Alabama. Were a great athletic school." The start of the match was moved up two hours because of the threat of an approaching storm, which was expected to hit the Atlanta area around mid-afternoon. There was no rain during the match, which ended just before noon under partly sunny skies. While Alabama was the nations second-ranked team, the Fighting Illini was a surprising finalist. They stunned top-seeded California 3-2 in the semifinals when Pieters defeated individual champion Max Homa on the second extra hole of their match. But Illinois couldnt pull off another upset. "Alabama had an edge to it today," coach Mike Small said. "We were up against a buzz saw." While the Fighting Illini has a bright future after sending out a lineup that included two freshmen and two sophomores, theyll have to make do next season without their top player. Pieters, a native of Belgium, had already announced his junior season would be his last before he turns professional. He broke down in tears after coming so close to adding a team title to the individual championship he won in 2012. "I dont think a lot of people expected us to be in the national championship," Pieters said. "We thought we could do it. We worked so hard to get to this moment. Its a shame we didnt get it done today. But Alabama played really, really well." A. J. Pollock Jersey .

ced three first-class saves – two f

Manchester United will feel incredibly hard done by after Anthony Martials opener was canceled out by Joe Allen in a 1-1 draw with Stoke City at Old Trafford on Sunday.The home side had dominated proceedings in the first half but couldnt find a way past Stoke goalkeeper Lee Grant, who produced three first-class saves – two from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and one from Jesse Lingard.After the break, United continued to press but couldnt find a way through, and were fortunate to still have 10 men on the field as Ander Herrera escaped with only a yellow card for a horror tackle on Joe Allen.As the game began to lull, Jose Mourinho introduced Anthony Martial and Wayne Rooney, and the two combined for the opener. Martial burst down the left and found Rooney inside the box. The forward shaped to shoot but Geoff Cameron nicked the ball from his toe, only for it to fall to Martial, who curled it in past the stranded Grant.It looked as if United would press on for more goals, but they were the makers of their own downfall when David de Gea couldnt keep his gloves on a low Glen Johnson shot. Substitute Jon Walters reacted quickest and as his deflected shot looped into the air, and Joe Allen arrived to poke it home.A frustrating day for United, but a decent point for Stoke. Carl Soderberg Jersey .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again. Mikko Rantanen Jersey . 24 Baylor in a Big 12 clash between teams trending in opposite directions. Andrew Wiggins made 10-of-12 from the foul line and scored 17 for Kansas (14-4, 5-0 Big 12), which capped a stretch of four straight games against ranked opponents unscathed. http://www.authentichockeyshopavalanche.com/Sven-Andrighetto-Jersey/ . A lawyer for MLB, Matthew Menchel, confirmed Wednesday the league dropped its case against Biogenesis of America, its owner Anthony Bosch and several other individuals. The lawsuit had accused Biogenesis and Bosch of conspiring with players to violate their contracts by providing them with banned performance-enhancing substances. Tyson Jost Jersey .

Surrey 154 for 4 (Sibley 40, Roy 36) beat Sussex 153 for 6 (Cachopa 45, Nash 39) by six wicketsScorecard Surrey kept their hopes of reaching the last eight of the NatWest T20 Blast alive with a comfortable six-wicket win over Sussex Sharks in front of a 22,601 crowd at The Kia Oval.Having restricted Sussex to 153 for 6 on a slow pitch, Surrey paced their response perfectly and won the game with ten balls to spare when Chris Morris swung Mustafizur Rahman over midwicket for six.It was Surreys sixth win in the ultra-competitive South Group and they join Sussex on 12 points, but the Sharks only have one game left - at home to second-placed Glamorgan next Wednesday - and their chances of making the quarter-finals appear remote.Surrey had been given a strong start by England opener Jason Roy, who made 36 off 25 balls, hitting six fours and a six.Roy looked in the mood but was becalmed by slow left-armer Danny Briggs who came on in the powerplay and bowled Roy in his second over as the batsman slogged across the line. A clearly frustrated Roy angrily swished his bat at the stumps as he departed, an act which may earn him a rebuke from umpires David Millns and Alex Wharf.Roys opening partner Aaron Finch had gone in the third over, caught at backward point off a huge top-edge to give Jofra Archer, the Barbados-born fast bowler playing only his third game in the competition, the first of two wickets.But Dominic Sibley and Rory Burns were determined not to squander Surreys good start. The third-wicket pair added 42 in 27 balls and although Burns (13) was superbly caught at long leg by the diving Rahman, Sibley made a composed 40 off 31 deliveries with three sixes and a four to put his side in control.He was athletically caught by Sussex captain Luke Wright at extra cover in the 15th over, but Surrey required just 38 runs at that stage and Morris (20) and Ben Foakes (22) eased them to their sixth win of the group stage.Sussex, who had been put in, were 15-20 runs short in the end. With four overs to go they were 135 for 3 but Jade Dernbach and Tom Curran bowled superbly at the death, taking three wickets as Sussex cobbled together just 18 more runs.Craig Cachopa and Matt Machan had put on 51 in 31 balls for the fourth wicket but they fell off successive Dernbach deliveries in the 19th over. Machan (18) top-edged a pull and Cachopa was held at long on for 45 (34 balls, 7 fours) while Chris Jordan gave Curran a deserved wicket when he holed out to deep mid-wicket in the final over.Sussex were without fast bowler Tymal Mills because of ankle trouble and their leading scorer in this seasons Blast Ross Taylor, who has joined up with New Zealand for their tour of South Africa.In Taylors absence they needed experienced openers Chris Nash and Wright to perform and although Nash played well for his 39 from 34 balls, Sussex captain Wright was out for just 7.Surreys seamers showed good control with Dernbach taking 2 for 25, Morris 2 for 21 and Tom Curran 1 for 20. D.J. Reader Jersey . -- The Magic have their first victory of the new year. Andre Hal Jersey . The Lightning are 2-0 so far on a four-game road trip, giving the club five straight wins as the guest and improving Tampas away record this season to 11-8-2. http://www.officialauthentictexansstore.com/authentic-jon-weeks-jersey.html .Y. -- Marcell Dareus and the Buffalo Bills defence made life miserable for Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco. Jeff Allen Jersey . The nimble-footed quarterback got his wish, dashing through the snow and a weary defence all the way into the NCAA record book. Breno Giacomini Jersey . -- Teemu Selanne scored the first goal of his 22nd NHL season, and the Anaheim Ducks extended the best start in franchise history with their fifth straight victory, 3-2 over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night. Well find out a lot more about where things stand in the race for the College Football Playoff when the official rankings come out next week. Leading up to the big reveal, our college football experts narrowed the field to the 10 teams with the best shot at the national title.Heres a look at Louisvilles title chances; to vote for who you think will win it all, go to our poll page or scroll to the bottom of this feature:The case for LouisvilleDespite Louisvilles one loss to Clemson, the Cardinals have been dominant in their wins -- tied with Alabama for third in the nation in average in-game win probability.Louisville leads the nation in offensive efficiency, and Lamar Jackson leads the FBS in Total QBR.Jackson has been responsible for 34 TDs this season, more than 108 FBS schools have combined as a team.-- ESPN Stats & InformationThe case against LouisvilleWith a loss to Clemson, ESPNs Football Power Index projects Louisville to have only a 10 percent chance at winning the ACC Atlantic Division. No team that failed to win its division has made it to the playoff.ACC-leading Clemson has a 78.2 percent likelihood to win out (up from 76.5 percent last week).-- ESPN Stats & InfoTalking pointsJacksons 91.6 Total QBR is on pace to be the fourth-best single-season Total QBR in the past decade.?-- ESPN Stats & InfoVegas odds:?Louisville has 7-1 odds to win the national title, better than Clemsons 8-1 odds despite the Tigers head-to-head win, according to the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook.What the FPPI says:?The FPI gives Louisville at least an 80 percent chance to win each remaining game, and favors the Cards on a neutral field against every team in the country except Alabama and Michigan.dddddddddddd But their FPI chance to win the Atlantic Division is low -- and even lower when it comes to winning the ACC championship game (9 percent).ESPN senior writer Heather Dinich: The most direct route for Louisville would be for Clemson to lose Saturday to Florida State, then lose in the ACC championship game. Under that scenario, the selection committee would at least debate whether Louisville is more worthy to be included among the top four -- despite the Tigers win in the head-to-head matchup.ESPN senior writer Todd McShay:?The toughest remaining game on Louisvilles schedule is at Houston. And while thats no cupcake, it certainly doesnt look as daunting as it did a few weeks ago, before the Cougars lost to Navy and SMU. Louisville has a tough road to the ACC title game, sitting a game behind Clemson (and having lost their head-to-head game). But if the Cardinals finish 11-1 and their only loss is a six-point defeat on the road to Clemson, theyll have a real case to be included in the playoff, depending on how the other conferences end up.Now that youre stuffed with numbers and analysis, are you convinced the Cardinals are going all the way? Cast your vote below. NFL Jerseys From China Stitched Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys From China Jerseys From China Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '

In November, espnWs weekly essay series will focus on giving.I first heard of Chinese Olympic swimmer Fu Yuanhui when someone on Facebook posted an article about her with the caption: I want to be her best friend. I winced and moved on. For days, I did not click on the link, until I saw even more people posting about her -- always with the same words. Shes amazing. I love her. Too real.Oh, no, I thought. Oh no. I knew exactly where this was going. But I clicked anyway.When I was in elementary school, I was the only Asian in my grade. On the playground, my classmates pretended to be Chinese, saying things like ching-chong-chaw and doing kung-fu. At my desk, I seethed but could not explain why -- only that it came from some deep feeling that my classmates were pretending to be Chinese the way kids pretend to be aliens or superheroes.One afternoon, my classmates had gathered around me, fascinated by my eyes. Theyre different, one of them announced, and then they all stepped in closer. I wondered if I had became a caricature by being fully Asian and half-Chinese.When I grew older, the narrative changed. After college, I spent some time studying Chinese in China, in an attempt to understand my mothers culture. The majority of my male classmates had arrived on a different quest: They wanted a girlfriend.Chinese women are beautiful, one of my classmates told me. He handed me his phone. The contacts list was filled with the names of women hed met clubbing. The album was packed with photographs of him wrapped around each of the women hed met, their faces green and silver from the flashing lights of the clubs.I cant speak the language, I hate the food here and I miss my family, he told me as he swiped through each picture so quickly the faces blurred together, but Im not going home until I get a girlfriend.Theyre different from American women, my apartment mate explained when I asked him about the allure. Theyre more feminine and more submissive. Perfect wife material.Chinese women had evolved to mean sexy. I couldnt decide if that was better or worse. Really, it was just about the same as being a caricature, but now served with a side of submission and breasts.With all of that in mind, I read all the stories and watched interviews of Fu Yuanhui, expecting a celebrity swimmer who was polite and poster beautiful.The unexpected happened: I too fell in love. I, too, wanted Fu Yuanhui to be my best friend. She wasnt poster-pretty. She was something far better: She was human.When Fu Yuanhui heard shed come in third at the 100-meter backstroke finals at the Rio Olympics, she gasped for air, stuttered and then mangled her lanyard from the sheer joy of winning. Her bubbling, over-the-top delight with life was infectious. In the photographs, while other athletes posed for the camera, smiles frozen in place, she clutched her medal mouth open in a silent roar of happiness. She made faces, grinned maniacally.The moment I truly fell for her was during the womens 4x100-meter medley relay when she emerged from the pool doubled over in pain. Her period left her feeling weak, she told the reporter, and she didnt swim her best. Then, she apologized for her performance and moved on.Never mind the cultural taboo that exists around periods, particularly in China, where tampons are hard to come by. Never mind the cultural taboos about periods that exist around the world. Fu Yuanhui swam in pain; she felt like she underperformed; she apologized; and that was all simply all there was to it.Fu Yuanhui didnt give us pretty, she gave us joy so fierce you could feel its power blasting through the camera lens. She didnt give us pitch-perfect celebrity-speak molded to showcase her best self to the press. She gave us herself, her incandescent happiness, her earthly pain.She showed us its possible to be loved by the world for simply being yourself. And for this, we loved her, for this we continue to love her: Fu Yuanhui, champion swimmer, champion human.Shalene Gupta is currently working on a novel about growing up Chinese-Indian in Minnesota.

WACO, Texas -- Natalie Chou is growing more comfortable, and thats a welcome development for No. 3 Baylor.The freshman went 5 for 6 from 3-point range and finished with 15 points on Tuesday night, helping the Lady Bears to a 90-24 victory against Texas State.All it comes down to is confidence, Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said. Even if she wouldve missed those shots, keep shooting it. The first part of the nonconference schedule she wouldnt even look at the basket. I can go get another player to do that. I brought her here to shoot the ball.The Lady Bears (10-1) shot 53 percent from the field and had six players score in double figures. Alexis Prince and Kalani Brown also scored 15 points apiece, Nina Davis and Beatrice Mompremier each had 12, and Lauren Cox finished with 11.Leading scorer Alexis Jones got the night off to rest, and Baylor was just fine without her.(Jones) has the ACL on one knee and the microfracture and every chance I get to rest her I will, Mulkey said. Weve got a long break for Christmas. I think I can rest her for two games, and she embraced it. No injury or anything, shes playing great basketball.Baylor freshman Calveion Landrum had team highs with 11 assists and seven rebounds.Taeler Deer led Texas State (3-4) with 10 points. The Bobcats managed just five points in the second half on 2-of-31 shooting.I think the disappointing piece was we got to Texas State shots, Texas State coach Zenarae Antoine said. Those are shots we generally knock down. To only score five points (in the second half) was really tough, largely because we pride ourselves on signing kids that can put the ball in the hole.BIG PICTURETexas State: The Bobcats were competitive for a quarter before they were overwhelmed by Baylors size.

Johnson had five total blocks to secure the MSU win. Senior Chelsea Duhs landed three kills in her final set as a Bulldog to add to Singletons five and Hills four.Behind Singleton was Hills 20 kills, her second-straight match with 20 kills and third of the season. Blossom Sato tallied her second 50-assist contest in as many matches, closing out her sophomore season with a career-best 968 assists. That total is the most by a Bulldog since Suzanne Horner earned 978 in 2013.MSU starred from the service line yet again this season, tallying its fifth match of the year with at least nine aces. Singletons trio of aces led the way, while Duzenack and Spell each tallied two.

WEST POINT, N.Y. -- After two straight narrow losses, Army got back on track Saturday -- halfway through its most promising season in years.Ahmad Bradshaw ran for 109 yards and a touchdown, fellow quarterback Chris Carter threw for two scores and Army beat Lafayette 62-7.Against a Lafayette team facing its first FBS squad since a 41-14 loss to the Black Knights in 1997, Armys triple option returned to form after last weeks 13-6 loss at Duke, with a season-high 671 yards of offense, 379 in the first half.The Black Knights rushing attack -- which came in ranked No. 2 in the nation -- was good for 537 yards as Army (4-2) racked up 31 first downs.If we cant run the ball effectively, were not going to do much on offense, Army coach Jeff Monken said. We certainly were able to do that today.The Leopards, who never led, gained just 10 rushing yards on 17 carries and dropped to 1-18 all-time against Army. Coming off a 58-34 loss to Fordham in which it gave up 516 yards on the ground, Lafayette (1-6) had no answers in its first look at an option offense.The Leopards had to punt on their first five possessions, and Army kept capitalizing with touchdowns thanks to strong blocking up front.The Black Knights scored first when Bradshaw sprinted down the right sideline for a career-long 60-yard touchdown run. Soon after, Jordan Asberry ran it in off a pitch from the 20 to give Army a 14-0 lead with 2:30 left in the first.Jordans a very good player. All of our slots have very good speed and make the game easier for me when I hand it to them, Bradshaw said.Carter ran for a 19-yard touchdown before Bradshaw found Jeff Ejekam inside the right edge of the end zone to put Army up 28-0 midway through the second quarter. Perhaps the prettiest play was Carters 59-yard touchdown heave over the middle to Asberry on the first play of Armys next series.Drew Reed was back under center after missing most of Lafayettes past two games with a head injury. The Leopards offense mostly relies on the pass, and Reed completed four of his first five attempts before finishing 21 for 36 for 205 yards and two interceptions.Lafayette coach Frank Tavani said it was the worst he had ever felt after a game.It looked like we didnt want to play. It was disgusting and embarrassing, the 17-year Leopards coach said.Blaik Field featured a painted 28 at each 28-yard line in honor of sophomore corner Brandon Jackson, who died in a car crash a day after the Black Knights last home game on Sept. 10.THE TAKEAWAYLafayette: Since beating Central Connecticut State in the opener, Lafayette has now dropped six straight -- five of those defeats by double digits. The loss also clinched a seventh straight losing season for Lafayette.Army: The fact that Lafayettes only victory in the series came 76 years ago meant this was a game the Black Knights had to have as they seek their first bowl game berth since 2010.BY THE NUMBERS: Armys offense had 31 first downs and its defense kept Lafayette to 10 rushing yards.BACK AT IT: After being dormant for nearly two decades, the Lafayette-Army series, which dates to 1893, continues in 2018.UP NEXT:Lafayette: The Leopards have a conference matchup at Bucknell on Saturday.Army: The Black Knights stay home to face North Texas on Saturday.

The Dallas Wings are still in the hunt for a trip to the playoffs but their quest has come down to a one-game-at-a-time scenario because of a season-long eight-game losing streak.Given that mantra, there will be no looking ahead when the Wings travel to Seattle to face the Storm on Wednesday at KeyArena in a contest with huge implications for the postseason.Dallas won both games against the Storm this season, beating Seattle 88-79 on the road on June 16 and 83-78 in Arlington, Texas, on June 30, but Seattle has been the better team of late, splitting its first two games since the WNBAs return to play after a month-long break for the Rio Olympics.The Storms win was against then-league leading Los Angeles at home while the loss was to Minnesota, which has the best record in the WNBA. Seattle (10-16) has a 3-3 record over its past six games and is 7-7 at home; the Storm plays just three of its final eight games in KeyArena.Seattle is led in scoring (18.3 points per game) and rebounding (9.2) by Breanna Stewart, the top draft pick in the league this season and the prohibitive favorite for WNBA Rookie of the Year. Stewart scored 29 points in the first meeting with Dallas and 17 in the second.Dallas, meanwhile returned from the break with two losses (to Phoenix on the road and to Chicago at home) and has hasnt won since July 5.Five of those eight losses have been by seven points or fewer and have the Wings in 11th place in the 12-team league, albeit only 1 1/2 games behind eighth-place Washington and Seattle with seven games to play. The top eight teams earn playoff berths.The Wings (9-18) are led in scoring (14.5) and assists (4) by Odyssey Sims. Logan Forsythe Jersey . -- Cam Newton pranced into the end zone, placed his hands over his chest and did his familiar Superman pose. Yasiel Puig Jersey . Jim Rutherford, President and General Manager of the Carolina Hurricanes, announced Wednesday that the team would assign Swedish forward Elias Lindholm to his nations team for the upcoming tournament. http://www.baseballdodgersprostore.com/dodgers-julio-urias-jersey/ . Isner, ranked No. 14, won his eighth career singles title and took the title in New Zealand for the second time after his victory in 2010. The match was similar to Isners quarterfinal victory over fifth-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber which went to three sets, all tiebreaks and contained no breaks of serve. Yu Darvish Jersey . Only three players drafted by NHL clubs were included on the Czech selection camp roster on Wednesday. Those players were Dallas Stars 2012 first-rounder Radek Faksa, Winnipeg Jets 2013 fourth-rounder Jan Kostalek and Phoenix Coyotes 2012 seventh-rounder Marek Langhamer. Curtis Granderson Jersey . Boucher previously coached the Tampa Bay Lightning and had a 97-78-20 record over two-plus seasons. He was dismissed by the team last March after the Lightning struggled in the lockout-shortened season with a 13-18-1 record. GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Safety Tyrann Mathieus frustration with the Arizona Cardinals defense carrying the rest of the team in Sunday nights 6-6 tie with the Seattle Seahawks was evident after the game.Its a team sport, Mathieu said. When the defense is playing well, the offense has to complement us, special teams has to complement everybody, [and] vice versa.The Cardinals held the Seahawks to their fewest total yards and rushing yards in a game this season with a swarming attack of quarterback Russell Wilson. Even though Arizona had just one sack, it hit Wilson five times.Arizona forced Seattle to punt on its first nine drives.It limited Wilson to just one run, for minus-2 yards. It happened on the games third play. The Seahawks didnt break 100 yardds until 10:13 was left in the game.dddddddddddd Wilson threw for 60 yards through three quarters, and Seattle ran for 29 yards through three quarters.The Cardinals offense failed to score a touchdown despite having eight drives that ended in Seattle territory, including six inside the 30.Arizonas special teams had three costly mishaps -- a blocked field goal, a blocked punt and a missed game-winning field goal in overtime.Its upsetting, Mathieu said. Its a team sport. We all got to get held accountable. We got to better on special teams. Offensively, we got to score points and defensively we got to create turnovers.

Triple-A Nashville to replace Gray on the roster

Erstellt 29.03.2018 09:52 von MJL456 29.03.2018 09:52 In der Kategorie Allgemein.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Athletics ended a 19-inning scoreless streak on Marcus Semiens home run off Kyle Hendricks in the eighth inning.Beyond that, manager Bob Melvins ballclub couldnt do much at the plate -- a recurring theme throughout the three-game series with the Cubs as well as since the All-Star break.Semiens 23rd home run of the season in the eighth inning prevented Oakland from being shut out for a second straight game but not much else went right in a 3-1 loss to Chicago on Sunday.Thats why you lose games, Melvin said after his team lost for the eighth time in nine games. Granted we had some decent pitching performances, certainly today. We couldnt do enough offensively to put any pressure on them. We needed to score more runs to give (the starters) some help.Oakland starter Sean Manaea (3-7) bounced back from a rough outing against the Angels but remained winless since June 29. The rookie left-hander allowed two runs over six-plus innings, struck out four and walked two.It wasnt enough on a day when the As managed only four hits, including two infield singles.I just needed to focus more, said Manaea, who has a 2.58 ERA over his last six appearances. I was kind of throwing my pitches and I wasnt really thinking about them. I was just going out and throwing them without really locating them.Kyle Hendricks pitched into the eighth inning for his fifth win since June to help the Cubs complete the three-game sweep.Kris Bryant and Jorge Soler both homered off Manaea. Bryants home run was his 27th this season, one more than the two-time All-Star had in 2015 when he was the NLs rookie of the year.The Cubs seventh straight win improved them to a major league-best 69-41 and marked their 10th series sweep this season. That topped their mark from a year ago, and increased their lead in the NL Central to 11 1/2 games over St. Louis.Ive been on some nice teams but this is trending in the right direction, Maddon said. Its up to us to maintain that daily and not get too far ahead of ourselves.Hendricks (11-7) was dominant against an As team that had dropped seven of eight going into the day. Chicagos right-hander allowed three hits over 7 1/3 innings, struck out four and retired 17 straight before Semiens one-out home run in the eighth.Hendricks lowered his ERA to 2.17, second-lowest in the majors among qualifiers behind the Dodgers Clayton Kershaw.The As had not scored since the sixth inning of Fridays loss to the Cubs before Semiens home run, a towering solo shot that ended Hendricks day.Pedro Strop retired two batters and Aroldis Champan pitched the ninth for his third save since arriving in a trade from the New York Yankees on July 25.TRAINERS ROOMAthletics: RHP Sonny Gray was placed on the disabled list with a strained right forearm. Its the second stint on the DL for Gray, who was pulled from his start against the Cubs on Saturday after only five innings. ... Chris Smith, a right-handed reliever, was called up from Triple-A Nashville to replace Gray on the roster.UP NEXTAthletics: RHP Kendall Graveman (7-7) faces the Orioles on Monday at the Coliseum. He has been Oaklands most consistent pitcher over the past two months, with six wins in his previous 12 starts. Fernandinho Jersey . Defencemen Drew Doughty, Shea Weber and forward Ryan Getzlaf also scored for the Canadians, who started their gold-medal defence 2-0. Goalie Roberto Luongo, getting the call in place of Game 1 starter Carey Price, was solid when needed in making 23 saves for the shutout. Giuliano Jersey .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again. http://www.officialbrazilstore.com/world-cup-paulinho-football-jersey/ . -- Linebacker Myles Jack ran for four touchdowns, defensive end Cassius Marsh caught a scoring pass, and No. Rafinha Jersey .

Vettel was 0.168 seconds faster than Red Bull teammate Mark Webber around the Suzuka circuit. Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg was two tenths of a second off Vettel. "The car balance is decent, but I think we can still improve," Vettel said. Wales coach Warren Gatland will coach the British & Irish Lions on their 10-match tour of New Zealand in 2017.It will be Gatlands third tour with the historic side having acted as assistant on their trip to South Africa in 2009 and then head coach in 2013 for Australia for their 2-1 series win.Gatland, who was born in Hamilton, is charged with masterminding a series victory against the worlds best side, the All Blacks. Deemed the hardest challenge in rugby, the Lions last tour against New Zealand in 2005 saw them lose the series 3-0.But Gatland is in no mood for pessimism.Its a huge honour. If there are people, players or coaches, who believe we havent got a chance put your hands up now and dont get on the plane, Gatland said. We have to go there as a team and believe we can be successful.To go to New Zealand and lead the team against the back to back world champions in their own back yard -- theres no bigger challenge. Im hugely looking forward to it.He plans to naame his backroom staff on December 7 and favours a mixture of continuity from the 2013 tour and fresh faces.dddddddddddd?And his appointment as Lions coach sees him take a sabbatical from Wales duties where he has led them to two grand slams and a further Six Nations championship since taking the post in 2007.We are delighted to have Warren as head coach for a second Tour, Lions tour manager John Spencer said. His international track record speaks for itself and he also understands the essence of the Lions and how to unite four nations in one purpose.Warren is acutely aware of the challenges we will face in New Zealand and we are confident he is the right man to lead us to a series victory.The 10-match tour starts on June 3 when the Lions face the NZ Barbarians, a game that falls just a week after the Aviva Premiership and PRO12 finals.

WASHINGTON -- The Cleveland Indians starting rotation is suddenly on a roll.After struggling through a tough stretch last week, right hander Josh Tomlin will look to turn in the teams fourth consecutive strong outing when the Indians close out their two-game series at the Washington on Wednesday.Tuesday night was Trevor Bauers turn. He bounced back from the worst outing of his career to pitch 6 1/3 shutout innings for the win as the Indians defeated the Nationals 3-1.That followed quality work from Corey Kluber and Carlos Carrasco over the weekend. The trio combined for a 1.27 ERA over 21 1/3 innings over the three games.What it does is it kind of sets up everybody for their roles, said bench coach Brad Mills, who managed Tuesdays game when Terry Francona was taken ill prior to the start. Its sure nice to get, theres no doubt.Like Bauer, Tomlin (11-4, 3.81 ERA) hopes to rebound from a bad outing. He allowed a season-high seven earned runs on nine hits over 4 2/3 innings in his last start, a loss to the Yankees.Tomlin ranks second in the majors in walks per nine innings (1.15) and third in strikeout to walk ratio (5.56). Hell be making his first career start versus the Nationals, and owns a career .600 batting average (6-for-10).The Nationals meanwhile are suddenly struggling to score runs, winning 1-0 on Sunday before Tuesdays loss.Max Scherzer took a no-hitter into the seventh before surrendering two runs. Jayson Werths homer cut the deficit to one before the Indians added a run in the ninth.It went from a no-hitter to a loss in a matter of time and we couldnt muster too much offense, Nationals manager Dusty Baker said. We hit a couple balls hard, but they hit a couple balls hard also. It was a well-played and well-pitched game.Perhaps its no coincidence that Washington was again without Bryce Harper, whos now missed two straight games with a stiff neck.Hes been getting worked on and stuff, Baker said. Anybody thats had a stiff neck realizes how tough that is, especially to swing. Hes on a day-to-day basis.The reigning National League MVP, Harper is hitting just .233, but is second on the team with 20 homers and third with 57 RBI.Werth also drew a walk in Tuesdays loss as he extended his on-base streak to 39 games.Washington starter Gio Gonzalez (7-9, 4.13) has been resurgent of late. He enters with a 3-1 record and a 2.03 ERA in his last five starts, including 6 1/3 innings with just two earned runs allowed in a no-decision at Cleveland on July 16.Gonzalez, the former Oakland Athletic, has enjoyed facing the Indians. In eight career starts against them, hes 5-0 with 1.07 ERA, though only one of those meetings has come since 2013.Hell have to contend with a red-hot Jose Ramirez. Hitting in the fourth spot, Ramirez drove in two runs with two hits Tuesday night, stole a base and scored a run.Hes been doing it all year, Mills said after the game. He was hitting cleanup tonight for a reason.In his last 15 games, Ramirez is batting .407 (22-for-54) with five doubles, two home runs, five RBI, 10 runs scored and eight stolen bases.One question mark for Cleveland is the status of its manager. Mills said Francona, who had expressed discomfort during his pregame media session, was examined at the ballpark.He started feeling ill. I know the doctors checked him out and so forth and they just felt itd be better for him to go back to the hotel and he did, Mills said.Knowing him he was probably really agonizing during the game, but I think hes doing fine hopefully and well see how it works out for tomorrow.

Despite the cost, effort and an improved steroid test, its possible that very few -- if any -- positives will be detected, Dr. Richard Budgett told The Associated Press in an interview.

Datsyuk will miss Tuesdays game against New Jersey and could be sidelined longer, while Cleary will likely miss at least the next three games. Its been an injury-plagued season for Datsyuk, who has suited up for just 39 games. ANAHEIM, Calif. -- When the Oakland Athletics wasted an excellent opportunity to take the lead, Albert Pujols made them pay.Pujols hit a two-run homer off Ryan Dull in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Los Angeles Angels an 8-6 victory Wednesday night that extended Oaklands losing streak to five games.Stephen Vogt tied it 6-all with an RBI single in the top of the ninth, but Mike Morin (2-1) relieved Cam Bedrosian and got pinch-hitter Danny Valencia to bounce into an inning-ending double play with the bases loaded.It was the second time the As grounded into an inning-ending double play with runners in scoring position.Those were two key spots where were talking about situational at-bats and getting an extra run, maybe two, manager Bob Melvin said. Late in games, when you have runners on and you get two outs in one at-bat, it ends up being a factor.Mike Trout led off the bottom half and hit a grounder to third baseman Ryon Healy, who threw high and wide of first for an error. Pujols then drove a 3-1 pitch from Dull (5-3) far over the left-field fence for his 581st home run.Just a fastball over the middle of the plate when he needed to throw a strike, Melvin said. But we had opportunities, several opportunities throughout the game -- not just in the last inning. And we didnt play defense very well. Those cost you in close games.Trout had three hits and reached on Healys error to start the ninth, diving headlong into first base to avoid a tag. Pujols also finished with three hits to go with three RBI.After his game-ending drive, Pujols slid feet first into home plate before a swarm of excited teammates helped tear off his jersey.The slugger is two home runs behind former St. Louis teammate Mark McGwire for 10th on the career list. Pujols has 1,192 extra-base hits, passing Lou Gehrig for sole possession of ninth place, and his 20th walk-off plate appearance tied him for third-most since 1969, behind Dusty Baker and Rickey Henderson.Guys like Albert, it seems like late in the game, those guys want to be up there, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. Theyre going to give you a good at-bat.Jefry Marte and Cliff Pennington homered in the fouurth for the Angels, who have won 10 of 12 at home.ddddddddddddOne night after earning his first save, Bedrosian, filling in for injured closer Huston Street, blew an opportunity when he allowed the tying run in the ninth. Bedrosian put the first five batters of the inning on base before being removed in favor of Morin.After the As scored once in the eighth on Jed Lowries bases-loaded walk to cut the Los Angeles lead to 6-5, Coco Crisp singled leading off the ninth. Max Muncy walked and Vogt tied the game with a single to left-center. Muncy was tagged out in a rundown between second and third, but Bedrosian walked Khris Davis and Yonder Alonso to load the bases.Morin got Valencia to ground into a 1-2-3 double play.Jered Weaver limited the As to four runs (three earned) and nine hits in six innings. Weaver gave up runs in the second, third and fourth, but the Angels tied it in the bottom of each inning before taking a 6-4 lead in the fifth.Thats definitely frustrating on my end. You want to be able to help a team win and hold a lead, Oakland starter Kendall Graveman said. I have to manage it and try to make pitches.Graveman lasted four-plus innings and allowed six earned runs, tying his season high and marking the first time in six starts that hes given up more than three.TRAINERS ROOMLowrie is playing with a bunion on his left foot. The team has ordered him orthotics in hopes of easing the pain but acknowledged that surgery might be an option. Lowrie is trying to avoid the disabled list.UP NEXTAthletics: RHP Jesse Hahn will be recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Thursday for his fourth start with Oakland this season. Hahn is 1-0 with a 2.84 ERA in two appearances against the Angels and 2-4 with a 5.53 ERA in eight major league games this year.Angels: RHP Ricky Nolasco will make his Angels debut in the series finale. Nolasco was acquired from Minnesota on Monday along with RHP Alex Meyer in exchange for LHP Hector Santiago. Nolasco, who grew up 50 miles northeast of Angel Stadium in Rialto, is 4-8 with a 5.13 ERA.

Drive thy business or it will drive thee. -- Benjamin FranklinAs the Cessna Citation X flashed through the desert sky between Los Angeles and Tucson, Arizona, Oscar De La Hoya sung the praises of a young Mexican boxer from Guadalajara he called Canelo. De La Hoya was on his way to help promote a Golden Boy card, but was much more excited about the redheaded prodigy than anybody fighting that evening at the Desert Diamond Casino.Even though Saul Alvarez was only 19 and virtually unknown outside of Mexico, De La Hoya was convinced that he was a future superstar and seemed almost beside himself at the prospect of becoming his promoter. That was in June 2009, and by the following January, Alvarez had signed a promotional contract with Golden Boy.De La Hoya hasnt always made the smartest business decisions. On the same flight he also said he could trust Richard Schaefer with his wallet. That, of course, was before their acrimonious split a few years later.But De La Hoya was right about Alvarez, who has grown to become Golden Boys top attraction and the cash cow that helped keep the company afloat through difficult times. And while that has been beneficial for Golden Boy, it has done little to help the sport in general.Immediately after Alvarezs ninth-round knockout of Liam Beefy Smith last Saturday night, HBOs Max Kellerman grilled Alvarez about his failure to fight Gennady Golovkin and the notion that De La Hoya was the one holding up a showdown.Oscar didnt say a word. He just stood there grinning, while Canelo, through HBO translator Jerry Olaya, told Kellerman that De La Hoya and he were partners and worked together.Then, clearly tired of the line of questioning, the victorious fighter raised his fist, yelled Viva Mexico! and walked away. You can do that sort of stuff when youve just drawn 51,240 to AT&T Stadium outside of Dallas and knocked the stuffing out of your handpicked opponent.Fans and much of the media have heaped blame on both Alvarez and De La Hoya for ducking GGG, but the situation goes deeper than that. Yes, the failure to make boxings hottest match is part of the problem, but its just one symptom among many others bedeviling a business model that is gradually self-destructing.One fighter ducking another is nothing new and not a particularly big deal in the big picture. Sometimes they eventually fight and sometimes they dont. Sometimes when they do, you wish they hadnt.A Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao stinker could reoccur at any time. Granted, its unlikely Golovkin and Alvarez would inflict such torture upon us, but you never know. Weve learned the hard way that public demand is no guarantee of excellence.There are many issues contributing to the current state of boxing and no quick fix or single solution. But one thing that would get things moving in the right direction would be to go back to promoting fights, not fighters. At the top level it usually takes two great fighters to make a great fight, not an A-side versus a B-side. In most cases thats a recipe for mediocrity.Money or the lack thereof is always part of the equation. Fights that belong on basic cable are now broadcast on subscription television, while fights that belong on subscription TV are now regular pay-per-view fodder. Its a mess and has been going on for so long now, its not even the new norm -- its the same old, same old.Promoters will tell you they have no choice, that theyre trapped in a cycle of spiraling costs and greedy fighters. But are they really trapped or just peddling second-rate goods, regardless of how it affects the long-range health of the sport?This sort of thing began long before Premier Boxing Champions arrived and sank hundreds of millions of dollars into purchasing television airtime and inflating its fighters purses in a bid to corner the market. Its safe to say, however, that PBC has complicated an already complicated situation.Except for buying airtime, HBO has done pretty much the same. Roy Jones Jr., for example, was paid excessive fees to fight a string of run-of-the-mill opponents such as Richard Frazier, Richard Hall and Glen Kelly. And if there was ever a fighter who didnt need to be babied, it was Jones in his prime.Jones never approached one million PPV buys. The closest he came was just over 600,000 for his match with heavyweight titleholder John Ruiz, which came at the end of Jones prime.More recently, Andre Ward was paid almost $5 million for a trio of tuneups against Paul Smith, Sullivan Barrera and Alexander Brand -- three overmatched opponents with next to no chance of winning. Its understandable that Ward wanted to ease back into to action as a light heavyweight after a lengthy layoff, but none of the bouts were worthy of subscription TV.Surely, there were far more worthy fights that could have been made for the same amount of money. When did it become a premium networks role to broadcast stay-busy fights?The rationale behind such cozy matchmaking is that important house fighters would remain obligated to a network when a valid match cropped up. They were allowed to beat up a bunch of guys who didnt belong in the same ring in order to keep them happy and in the fold. But is it a worthwhile approach?It is no accident that over the last decade only one of the matches selected fight of the year by the American Association of Boxing Writers was a PPV fight (Juan Manuel Marquez-Manny Pacquiao IV). Thats bound to happen when a significant chunk of the budget is allocated to pampering stars with meaningless paydays.Showtime has also invested in fighters rather than fights. Most recently, the subscription network has handsomely rewarded heavyweight titleholder Deontay Wilder for running roughshod over a modest collection of adversaries, none of whom posed a serious threat to his unbeaten record.The result is that after 37 pro bouts, we still havent seen the Bronze Bomber in a competitive fight. American fans want to fall in love with Wilder in the worse way, but even they are bound to eventually wonder why he has never fought a fighter theyd heard of before he signed to fight Wilder. If and when Wilder takes on what passes for an elite heavyweight these days, you can be sure it will be via PPV.The boxing industry woke up to the fact that PPV could be an extremely lucrative business model when George Foreman challenged reigning heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield on April 19, 1991, and 1.4 million homes bought the PPV.A month after the Holyfield-Foreman blockbuster, HBO televised the James Toney-Michael Nunn fight on PPV with disappointing results.Only 19,000 people bought that fight, said Mark Taffet, then senior vice president of HBO Sports. We found out that either an event is huge or its not, and when its not, you better be careful.It has been 25 years since those back-to-back PPVs and the lessons learned are routinely ignored, if not entirely forgotten.Holyfield-Foreman was a fight between a pair of future Hall of Famers, while Alvarez-Smith was what Kellerman called a showcase fight several times during the broadcast. By definition, a showcase is a setting for exhibiting something or someone in an attractive or favorable aspect.Brave Beefy proved the perfect foil for Alvarez to achieve the desired result, but despite the huge crowd on hand at the home of the Dallas Cowboys, it was not a PPV-worthy match. Alvarezs star power among Mexicans and Mexican-Americans made the fight a viable business proposition, but for a significant number of fans disappointed that Golovkin wasnt in the other corner, it was a nonstarter.Promoters and television networks bemoan the current lack of bankable stars, but are going about trying to create new ones the wrong way. The majority of broadcasters have become little more than salespeople, hyping fighters ad nauseam in the hope that the incessant puffery will turn them into box-office gold.But fighters dont become stars because talking heads say so. They do it by beating other top fighters in compelling matchups. If theres a magic formula, its this: Make good fights. The stars will rise on their merits.The Los Angeles Times reported that HBOs ratings for its regular fights are down 10 percent from 2015. Prior to Alvarez-Smith, the networks three PPV events this year have totaled an estimated 850,000 buys. Last years Alvarez-Miguel Cotto PPV in November alone generated 930,000. The reason for the disparity is simple: Alvarez-Cotto was not a showcase fight or a tuneup. It was a match between elite fighters.If less is more at this particular time, so be it. Quality always trumps quantity, and if an excellent fight is not available, it is foolish trying to persuade the paying public that it is. Thats the sort of bunkum that generates ill will and convinces consumers to spend their discretionary income elsewhere.Right now, boxing is like a sinking ship with a leaky hull, a broken bilge pump and a panicky captain running in circles like SpongeBob SquarePants.By its very nature, boxing cant expect to be perfect. Its always going to be like riding a wild horse, unmanageable and unpredictable. Good fights are its lifeblood, the only legitimate reason for its existence. Thats a truth the suits who run the sport need to tattoo backward on their foreheads so they see it every day in the mirror before going to work.Good fights are everything. Nothing else really matters. Paddy McNair Jersey . 8 Iowa State on Saturday, sending the Cyclones to their third consecutive loss.

Boston Celtics forward Jonas Jerebko is the latest athlete to buy in to the esports world.Jerebko purchased the rights to the Renegades franchise from Christopher Montecristo Mykles and Chris Badawi, his teams CS:GO position in WME | IMGs ELeague and in ESL, and the first right of refusal to negotiate new contracts with that team, for an undisclosed sum.Jerebko said he originally planned to buy into the sport at the beginning of 2017, but given that the deal included the rights to negotiate with the current Renegades CS:GO team, in which four of the players had expired contracts, Jerebko said he had to seize the opportunity.The Celtics forward signed the players, based out of Australia, and moved them into a house and training center in Rochester, Michigan, with a coach and a manager.He also aggregated a Call of Duty team that was working under the name Ground Zero, formerly under the Dream Team banner. That squad will now play under the Renegades name and will compete in the Call of Duty World League Championship at the start of September.Jerebko said his intention is to build a full team, which would once again field a League of Legends squad under the Renegades name, as well as Halo and Overwatch.The deal to buy the Renegades was consummated in Las Vegas. Jerebko had come for the NBA summer league and there met with Tobias Sherman, global head of eSports at WME | IMG, who was representing Mykles.The Renegades CS:GO team includes Aaron AZR Ward, Justin jks Savage, Yaman yam Ergenekon, Karlo Ustilo Pivac, Ricardo Rickeh Mulholland, Nicholas peekay Wise and Chris GoMeZ Orfanellis. The Call oof Duty team includes Adam KiLLa Sloss, Troy Sender Michaels, Martin Chino Chino and Steven Diabolic Rivero.ddddddddddddAlthough Jerebko said hes aware that esports has very much turned into the wild, wild west, he hopes he can lend credibility to the sport. That means that Jerebko, who has served as team player representative for the National Basketball Players Association, doesnt have a problem with pro gamers having rights.The Call of Duty players we were negotiating with were under contract last year and werent getting paid for three to five months, Jerebko said. Thats not going to happen with me. You get a paycheck on time.That being said, Jerebko also said he expects his players to buy into his long-term vision.There are some guys in this industry asking to do six-month contracts, Jerebko said. There isnt stability in that. Jerebko wouldnt give dollar amounts to deals, but did say that they are for one year with a one-year team option.The Renegades League of Legends team was kicked out of the League of Legends Championship Series after publisher Riot Games alleged that Mykles intended to give suspended Chris Badawi an ownership stake, something Badawis ban prohibited.Jerebko joins other NBA players who have gotten into esports. Rick Fox bought a team to form Echo Fox in December and Shaquille ONeal bought a piece of NRG esports earlier this year.NRGs League of Legends team was recently relegated, but the team picked up an Overwatch team earlier this month.

ESTERO, Fla. -- Baylor was unquestionably the elite club in the eight-team Gulf Coast Showcase.And no, that symmetry wasnt lost on Lady Bears coach Kim Mulkey.Each of the last three seasons has ended the same way for Baylor -- with a loss in the regional championship round in the NCAA Tournament, one game shy of getting back to the Final Four. So Mulkey went and made the schedule for this team as brutal as possible, with the hope that whatever lessons get learned now pay off at tourney time.Early returns are promising. The fifth-ranked Bears (7-1) topped No. 8 Ohio State 85-68 on Sunday to win the Gulf Coast title, capping a very difficult November slate for Mulkeys club. Baylor has already played four ranked opponents, three of them No. 9 or higher.Its what we need for late in the season, the playoffs in our Big 12 Conference, to be able to get past that Elite Eight, Mulkey said. Were tired of finishing in an Elite Eight. We present a schedule to them that makes them have to come from behind, makes them have to work for everything -- even if you get beat, theres so much to learn from that.And even with three big wins in southwest Florida this weekend, Mulkey and the Lady Bears think they learned plenty.Baylors three wins this weekend came by 42 over Kent State, 32 over No. 18 DePaul and 17 points on Sunday, and the reason why the margin over the Buckeyes was that close was the Lady Bears were 19 for 32 from the foul line. The Bears trailed for exactly 6 minutes, 16 seconds in the three matchups, and outrebounded their opponents 156-76 -- more than a 2-to-1 edge on the glass.Were good. We know were good. But how good are we? Mulkey said. The only way you can gauge that is go play other teams across the country that people think are good.The only loss so far was at UConn, a game where the Huskies revealed yet another national championship banner and played before a packed house. Baylor didnt succumb that night until the final minutes.Theres only one team this year thats going to go to Storrs when they drop a banner, and that was us, Mulkey said. We knew that going in and we need that. We need that environment, we need that type of setting.This weekend inside a minor-league hockey arena wasnt about environment or setting. The building held only a couple hundred fans or so for each game, and the chill from the ice below could be felt coming through the court.It was about the grind of playing three good teams in less than 72 hours, and Baylor came through with flying colors.Were looking to get that competition now so we can be ready at the end and embrace the moment, Lady Bears standout Kalani Brown said.Theres another big test coming next weekend when Baylor goes to Tennessee in the Big 12/SEC Challenge. Then before long, conference play will begin.Looking forward to it, said Lady Bears guard Kristy Wallace, the MVP of the Gulf Coast tournament. Its going to be a challenge. Itll be exciting.Last season, Baylor didnt face its third top-10 team until March 7. With this schedule, theres going to be no way Mulkey wonders if her team was properly battle-tested when this seasons NCAA Tournament rolls around.I know why we did it, Mulkey said.

Former USC Trojans quarterback Max Browne is headed to?Pittsburgh?for his final season of eligibility as a graduate-transfer.Browne visited the school over the weekend, and after returning to Los Angeles he had a pretty good idea thats where he would go.He sat on it for a few days before making the announcement on Twitter on Thursday.Its way different than USC is terms of the city and the feel and the weather and all that, Browne told ESPN. As far as the vibe to the team, the guys I was around when I was there, it was a good fit. I got along with those guys. Really like them and its a great opportunity for me in my fifth and final year.Browne will enroll in a graduate school program on Jan. 5, and be with the team in spring practice.On Wednesday, it was announced that Pitt offensive coordinator Matt Canada was leaving for LSU, but Browne said that wasnt a concern.Coach Canada was part of the equation, but at the end of the day, [head coach Pat Narduzzi] was the biggest factor for me, Browne said. Hes excited about me. Hes excited about what I can bring in.Browne said he was told Pitt would focus on bringing in a replacement after the Panthers game against Northwestern in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl on Dec. 28.As far as who theyre going to get, he said theyre going to get a guy that fits me, Browne said.Browne, the No. 2-ranked quarterback in the Class of 2013 and Gatorade National Player of the Year in 2012, sat behind Cody Kessler for three years at USC and was named the starter over Sam Darnold near the end of training camp. He started the first three games of the season for the Trojans, but after they started 1-2, Darnold replaced him.His final start came in a 27-10 loss at Stanford, which, coincidentally, was where he was when he made the announcement Thursday. He was in town visiting his girlfriend, who lives near Stanford.I made that joke to her, he said. I made my announcement on the Stanford campus, the last place I started that helped me lose my job.The coaching staff and Brownes teammates at USC have been overwhelmingly supportive of his decision to leave.Its a body thats gone and its a great guy like Max gone and its really sad, but you try to move on as best as you can, Darnold said. Its definitely a bummer without him in there and were going to miss him, but you just got to move on and just wish him the best of luck moving forward.USC coach Clay Helton said Wednesday he had not been contacted by any coaches interested in Browne, but would do whatever he could to help him during the process.Browne graduated from USC prior to this season and is two semesters short of an MBA. He said he plans to finish that program eventually. Craig Mager Jersey . Jeff Green scored 13 points and Kris Humphries 12 for the Celtics, who nearly blew an 18-point, second-half lead.

p with Detroits Luke Glendening early in

Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward failed to mention under-fire manager Louis van Gaal as he discussed record quarterly revenues with the clubs investors on Friday. United are on course to become the first British club to earn more than £500m in a single year, after announcing record revenues of £123.4m - up 29.9 per cent from last year - for the third quarter of 2016.But that success off the pitch has not been matched by the teams fortunes on it, with United trailing rivals Manchester City by two points in the race for fourth place heading into their final Premier League game of the season at home to Bournemouth on Sunday, live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 2.30pm. The clubs damaging 3-2 defeat at West Ham on Tuesday has piled pressure on the Dutchman as United face up to the prospect of missing out on Champions League football for the second time in three seasons. Woodward touched on a variety of topics in his nine-minute conference call with investors as he outlined Uniteds willingness to spend this summer, while also praising the clubs youth academy, but did not refer to Van Gaal at any point.There has been a continued inflation in player transfers, given the increase in money flowing around the industry, Woodward explained. It is the heart of the club. It is in our DNA. That will help in terms of net transfer spend. Ed Woodward on Man Utds academy You know as a club, we will always invest in the squad to the extent that we feel we need to so that were challenging for titles.But I think this sustained level is probably relatively high compared to what is needed.The academy is helping us in terms of net transfer spend. The market has become more competitive.It is the heart of the club. It is in our DNA. That will help in terms of net transfer spend. Louis van Gaal watches United lose to West Ham on Tuesday Uniteds transfer spending since Van Gaal succeeded David Moyes has been mammoth, with the Dutchman allowed to spend more than a quarter of a billion pounds on 12 new players as he has completely overhauled the squad.But that outlay has not translated into improved performances on the pitch with Van Gaals side, who are on course to shatter the clubs record total for fewest goals scored in a Premier League season, trailing champions Leicester by 17 points heading into the final weekend.Woodward admits it has become far more difficult for teams to simply spend their way out of trouble.I have to say it has become more competitive, Woodward conceded. It became more competitive when Chelsea had a change of ownership 13 years ago, it obviously got more competitive when Manchester City changed ownership about five years ago. Record revenue for United Manchester United announce record quarterly revenue The last round increase [of TV rights money] was 70 per cent domestically. Obviously were in the last year of that cycle, and visibility into the next years cycle - from domestic money going up by a similar percentage - obviously makes all the other clubs more competitive in the Premier League.But I think the way we view it is that we know we have strengths and we have to focus on giving ourselves the best chance in every single area of the club that we can.Yes, thats the academy, but it also means in recruitment, it means the coaching staff, it means having the best medical department, sports science facilities, etc. Its trying to get the extra one per cent from all of those areas that influences and impacts the first-team.
