IBARAKI, Japan -- Shanshan Feng needed every bit of the three-stroke lead she took to final hole Sunday at chilly Taiheiyo Club to finish off her second straight LPGA Tour victory.The 27-year-old Chinese star closed with a double-bogey 6 to beat Ha Na Jang by a stroke in the TOTO Japan Classic, the last of six straight events in Asia. Feng closed with a 2-under 70 for a 13-under 203 total, the double bogey her only dropped shots since the fourth hole Friday.She knew she had a three-stroke lead after birdieing the par-5 17th, not that she wanted to know.I have a habit where I dont look at leaderboards when I play, but I accidentally saw the board when I was on the 17th green, said Feng, the winner last week in steamy Malaysia.She drove to the left and needed two more shots to reach the green.I thought easy two-putt, but the first putt, I just hit it way too hard, Feng said. The second putt, I missed and left myself a 3-footer and said, `Its time to make this putt. I didnt want to lose by making a triple bogey on the last.The putt -- really only about half the length that Feng recounted -- fell for her sixth LPGA Tour victory.Projected to jump from eighth to sixth in the world ranking, Feng has finished no worse than a tie for fourth in her last seven events. She started the run with the Olympic bronze medal in Rio, tied for fourth at Evian in France, opened the Asia trip at home in China with a fourth-place tie, was second behind Jang in Taiwan and tied for third in South Korea.Coming into this week I had a lot of confidence and Im feeling really comfortable, Feng said. I knew that I would have a chance because Ive always liked the Japanese courses that Ive played and Ive played well in Japan.She broke through at Taiheiyo after losing a playoff to Momoko Ueda in the 2011 event at Kintetsu Kashikojima, the tournament venue from 2006 to last year.Playing two groups ahead of Feng, Jang birdied 16 and 17 in her third 68. The South Korean player has three victories this year, beating Feng by a stroke in Taiwan.Every day, I had strong front nine, but was a little tired on the back nine, Jang said. Just tried to be patient every hole. My target was 12-under par this week and I hit my target perfect.A stroke ahead after parring the first eight holes, Feng birdied the next three to open a four-shot lead. She made putts from 8 feet on the par-5 ninth, 25 feet on the par-4 10th and 6 feet on the par-4 11th.I wasnt actually striking the ball very well and then I didnt give myself many birdie chances, Feng said. Putting was OK and then after the eighth hole I said to the others in my group, `We are the last group, so we need to start making birdies. Then, the ninth hole I had a very good chance and made it and then 10th and 11th were great birdies.She earned $225,000, giving her $1,062,204 in her last six tour starts. Shes sixth on the money list with $1,416,301 after making $354,097 in her first 15 events.Feng shot a tournament-best 64 on Saturday to take one-stroke lead over second-ranked Ariya Jutanugarn into the final round.Jutanugarn missed a chance to wrap up the LPGA Tour player of the year award with a victory, shooting a 74 to drop into a tie for 10th at 8 under. The Thai star leads the tour with five victories and also tops the money list.Today was just not a good day, Jutanugarn said. I missed some tee shots and my putting was so bad.The top-ranked Lydia Ko, 14 points behind Jutanugarn in the player of the year race, had a 69 to tie for 43rd at 2 under. Ko and Jutanugarn are skipping the Lorena Ochoa Invitational in Mexico and will close the season in two weeks in Florida at the CME Group Tour Championship.Japans Kotone Hori (68) tied for third at 10 under with defending champion Sun-Ju Ahn (70), So Yeon Ryu (68) and Soo-Yun Kang (71). Suzann Pettersen had a 72 in the final group to finish at 9 under.Lexi Thompson shot a 68 to tie for 14th at 7 under. U.S. Solheim Cup teammate Stacy Lewis tied for 31st at 4 under after a 72.

Hard-core college football fans may not think they know anything about NASCAR. NASCAR fans can sometimes be a little sensitive when it comes to embracing stick-and-ball sports. But the reality is that no two big league sports are more interwoven than football and racing. And it is way more than just that they both wear helmets and have officials who throw yellow flags. So, leave it up to those of us who love both (and cover both) to use Saturday nights Battle at Bristol (Virginia Tech vs. Tennessee, 8 p.m. ET on ABC) as an opportunity to educate both sides on...um...both sides of the connection.Andy Papathanassiou: Known to most as Andy Papa, he played offensive guard at Stanford and shortly after graduation was introduced to NASCAR at the nearby Sonoma Raceway. In 1992 he was hired by Hendrick Motorsports (the Alabama Crimson Tide of racing) as the sports first-ever team pit-crew coordinator. Employing football-based physical training regimens and drills, Papa oversaw Jeff Gordons revolutionary Rainbow Warriors pit crew and dramatically shaved the time the car spent on pit road. As Gordon dominated the sport, rival teams who had initially laughed at Papas gridiron methods for changing tires started copying his ideas.Brian Piccolo: Bowman Gray Stadium, also known as The Madhouse is located in eastern Winston-Salem, North Carolina. It houses both a quarter-mile asphalt short track and a college football field, home of the Winston-Salem State Rams. The top floor of the fieldhouse is also home to WSSUs motorsports management school. The racetrack was co-opened by NASCAR founder Bill France Sr. in 1947 and has hosted NASCAR races since 1949, the longest run of any weekly track. That tally includes 29 Sprint Cup (then Grand National) Series races, won by legends such as Richard Petty, David Pearson and Bobby Allison. From 1956-67 it served as the home field for Wake Forest Demon Deacons football, including Brian Piccolo of Brians Song fame. In fall 1964, Junior Johnson won on the racetrack while Piccolo rushed for a then-stadium-record 140 yards vs. South Carolina.Cale Yarborough: Before he was a four-time Daytona 500 winner, the fire hydrant known as Cale Yarborough was a high school football star in Timmonsville, South Carolina, and earned a scholarship to play for Clemson. Upon arrival to his first training camp with the Tigers, Yarborough informed legendary coach Frank Howard that he needed to go back home in order to run one last race and secure his local short-track championship. (In a twist, that career began on Sumter, South Carolinas Gamecock Speedway.) Howard was having none of that. He told me if I went home to run that race to go on and pack all my stuff because I wasnt coming back to Clemson, Yarborough recalled last week at the Darlington Raceway. So I packed and left. He kept calling me after that. Finally, I said, I did what you told me to do, so now Im going to be a race car driver. He said, Son, youre gonna starve to death. Yarborough won 83 races, three Winston Cup championships and was elected to the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2011.Daytona: When NASCAR founder and chairman Bill France Sr. built the Daytona International Speedway in 1959, he also envisioned hosting other nonmotorsports events at his new show palace. There have been four college games played on the grass that separates the front stretch from pit road, the grass that Daytona 500 viewers are used to seeing painted with big corporate logos during the Great American Race. Those games, hosted by the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats, were played in 1974-75. Ever since the speedway maintenance crews have referred to that area as the football field. Just this year Daytona unveiled a $400 million facilities makeover to become what track officials like to call the first NASCAR stadium. Track president and uber-promoter Joie Chitwood III (yes, of the Chitwood Thrill Show Chitwoods) has floated the idea of hosting a college game, or even inviting the Jacksonville Jaguars to bring a game down I-95.Everywhere: Daytona, Bowman-Gray and Bristol are certainly not alone when it comes to sharing college football and NASCAR. Buffalos War Memorial Stadium was home to Canisius College football, early Buffalo Bills teams and a quarter-mile dirt track that hosted one NASCAR Grand National race, won by Jim Reed in 1958. Chicagos Soldier Field hosted the College All-Star Game for more than four decades and was also home to a half-mile asphalt oval. On July 21, 1956, Hall of Famer Fireball Roberts won the only NASCAR event held at Soldier Field. Just three weeks later the NFL champion Cleveland Browns defeated the college stars, including West Virginia linebacker Sam Huff 26-0. In one of my favorite explanations ever, a NASCAR historian Greg Fielden said the Soldier Field track was removed in 1970 following protests by hippies.Fast cars and superstars: In June 2007 ABC aired a reality show where NASCAR stars coached celebrities to race in a time-trial competition at Charlotte Motor Speedway. John Elway, coached by 2004 Cup champ Kurt Busch, defeated a field that included Serena Williams and John Cena. On set, the real drama came when former NC State player/Steelers coach Bill Cowher wrecked not once, but twice.Gibbs: While he was still in the midst of his first stint as Washington Redskins head coach, lifelong gearhead Joe Gibbs became a NASCAR team owner in 1991. The following year he won the Daytona 500 with driver Dale Jarrett (who turned down a football scholarship to Gardner-Webb to be a racer), and in the quarter-century since, he has built a NASCAR empire, winning 138 Cup Series races and four Cup titles. His right-hand men at Joe Gibbs Racing have been his sons. J.D. Gibbs was a defensive back and quarterback at William & Mary from 1987-90 and also made 29 starts as a driver across three different NASCAR series. Coy Gibbs was an outstanding linebacker at Stanford, leading the team in tackles in 1994. Both sons have been longtime executives at JGR.Harbaugh: Back when he was still Captain Comeback, the then-Indianapolis Colts QB became co-owner of the Panther Racing IndyCar team, winners of two series championships and near-winners of the Indianapolis 500. In June he attended the Sprint Cup race at the Michigan International Speedway as a guest of Joe Gibbs and is a fan of 2012 Cup champ and Michigan native Brad Keselowski. The whole drivers arent athletes debate is a joke, the head Wolverine said earlier this year. Anyone who says that has never been to a race.Instant replay: Reviewable calls arent just a football thing. Over the last decade NASCAR has been very aggressive about integrating video cameras and replay capabilities to help Race Control keep an eye on all 40 cars, 300-plus crew members and every inch of their miles-plus-sized playing surfaces. The multicamera NASCAR replay system is so advanced it has largely replaced the former army of on-the-ground human officials. That system has attracted calls of interest from college officiating coordinators with tech questions as they push toward centralized officiating HQs to oversee game weekends.Josh Jones: Known to NASCAR fans on Twitter as Mother Function and for his epic practical joke duels with his boss, Jones is director of business development for KHI Management, the celebrity marketing agency owned by 2014 Sprint Cup camp Kevin Harvick. Before he started helping boost the careers of people like country star Jake Owen and Miesha Tate of the UFC, Jones was an All-American kicker at Western Carolina. He was a career 28-for-35 on field goal attempts and in 1999 set the Southern Conference record with 20 kicking points in one game.King Richard Petty: Before his Royal Fastness became the all-time winningest NASCAR driver, he was a star right guard at Randleman (North Carolina) High School (and he had to be the skinniest guard in football history). After graduation he came back for a Tigers game and spotted head cheerleader Lynda Owens. They were married shortly thereafter. Their son Kyle later became the star quarterback for Randleman and was offered scholarships to East Carolina and Georgia Tech. Instead, he chose to follow his father into racing, even as that father tried to talk him out of it. Recalls The King: Kyle said, is it that hard being a race car driver, daddy? I said, no, I gotta go tell your mother youre turning down college. Thatll be the hardest part. Kyle went on to win eight races and is currently an analyst for NBC Sports. Grandson Kyle Barlow [Kyles nephew] just finished four years as a reserve QB at Hampden-Sydney.Les Richter: Known in the motorsports community simply as Coach, Richter was an ironman offensive lineman, linebacker and kicker at Cal, earning All-American honors over his final two seasons. The No. 2 overall pick of the 1952 NFL draft, he played 11 seasons for the L.A. Rams and made the Pro Bowl eight times. After football he became a giant in NASCAR, running the Riverside Raceway, guiding the opening of the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, and serving as a vice president of both NASCAR and its track ownership arm. In 2011 he was elected posthumously to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He has been a multiple nominee for the NASCAR Hall of Fame, and Sprint Cup Series race winners at Auto Club Speedway receive the Les Richter Trophy.Moss Motorsports: From 2008-11 Randy Moss co-owned a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series team (think Triple-A baseball). The former Marshall All-American receiver had moderate success before the team folded, but he did grant one of my all-time ESPN.com interviews.Nebraska: In 1996 the University of Nebraska announced that it was going to take on full sponsorship of veteran Lake Speeds No. 9 Ford. There was even a much-ballyhooed unveiling of the all-red car, driven onto the field at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln to thunderous applause. Unfortunately, the deal was yanked over the winter, and the car never raced. On the upside, a Huskers die-cast car has become a bit of a white whale for NASCAR memorabilia collectors.Ole Miss: Rebels head coach Hugh Freeze is an admitted NASCAR junkie and still has his collection of races he recorded on VHS in the 1990s as a big Jeff Gordon fan. Now hes buds with driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr., an Olive Branch, Mississippi, native who is a staple on the Oxford sideline with longtime girlfriend Danica Patrick.Punch: As in Dr. Jerry Punch. The former NC State backup QB is one of ESPNs longest tenured announcers, coming onboard as a pit reporter for NASCAR races in 1984 and adding college football sidelines in 1989. In 1988 he was working a race weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway when future ESPN coworker Rusty Wallace suffered a horrible crash in practice. Punch jumped the wall, shed his TV gear, climbed into the wrecked car and quite literally saved the NASCAR legends life.Quarterbacks: Former Dallas Cowboys signal callers Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach were co-investors in a NASCAR Cup Series team titled Hall of Fame Racing. The No. 96 car only earned four top-10 finishes over four seasons. Other former college stars who took a turn at NASCAR ownership included Joe Washington, Brett Favre and Dan Marino, who somehow convinced the notoriously superstitious racers to use his No. 13.Recruiting: No, NASCAR teams havent reached the borderline insanity level of college recruiting or NFL scouting, but they do a follow a similar model, scouting for college athletes who they think have what it takes to go over the wall on race day. Again, the leaders in this field has been Hendrick Motorsports. Chris Burkey, HMS head pit-crew coach, is a former Wingate University wide receiver and spent several seasons as NFL scout, including a stint with the Miami Dolphins under Nick Saban. Burkey travels the country to watch athletes and holds combines at the race shop in Concord, North Carolina. Last year, the team even held their own signing day to announce a new crop of candidates. There are currently 14 former FBS & FCS college football players at Hendrick Motorsports alone, some working on the four Sprint Cup teams, others pitting lower-level cars until theyre ready for the varsity squad. Among them is Rowdy Harrell, who owns three national championship rings from his time as a walk-on linebacker at Alabama. He also owns a Daytona 500 ring, working as a tire carrier for Dale Earnhardt Jr. When Burkey called Tuscaloosa looking for talent, Saban called Harrell. He said, Hey, weve found a job for you. I think it would be a great fit, so take it or leave it. He took it.Safety: ?Unfortunately, football and racing share the commonality of gruesome injuries. Fortunately for racers, their sport has worked faster in the prevention department than the football powers-that-be. Thats especially true when it comes to energy absorption and head injuries, thanks to development of safer soft-wall barriers, better helmets and head-and-neck restraints. Just ask Jim Brown, who visited with Richard Petty at Pocono Raceway in 2013. Football has a ways to go, because this is the first time that weve really ever taken the safety situation seriously, because of the lawsuits. And when we come out of this, I think we will have a much safer game, and we wont take away from the impact of the game. So were a little behind NASCAR, and if we pay attention to the fact that someone realized that something had to be done that would make it safer, the same thing has to happen in football. Two different sports, but if youre conscientious about it, and you want to make sure its as safe as you can make it, then you can do that.Tim Brown: Speaking of Browns, if this one had had his way, he would have followed Staubach as a Heisman Trophy winner who also tried to win NASCAR races. A decade ago he formed an alliance with longtime NASCAR owner Jack Roush to start a new race team. Unfortunately, it didnt work out. I would still like to get it going because I love NASCAR, Brown said during a visit to Pocono Raceway in 2012 to give Jeff Gordon the Heisman Humanitarian Award. But so many things have to happen just right to make it happen.Underwater: Thats where former Louisiana Tech QB Terry Bradshaw drove a Hoss Ellington-owned No.1 Hawaiian Tropic Chevy in the 1981 cinematic masterpiece The Cannonball Run, along with copilot Mel Tillis. Thats the same car made famous by Donnie Allison during the legendary finish of the 1979 Daytona 500, when Allison crashed with and then fought with Yarborough. The same year as the films release its director, stuntman-turned-Oscar winner Hal Needham, became a NASCAR team owner, teaming up with the Bandit himself, former Florida State QB Burt Reynolds. Hal and Burts Skoal Bandit cars won nine races, 13 poles and barely missed winning the 1984 Winston Cup title with driver Harry Gant. Also one of ?my favorite assignments ever.Video study: Just like college football coaches and players, racers have become film-room junkies. Drivers watch race recordings, studying the lines they run on the track like a wide receiver watches his routes. Pit crews have team meetings to watch film from isolated overhead cameras of each pit stop. Then they do the same during live pit practices, correcting missteps during their painstakingly choreographed mechanics. Crew chiefs, like head coaches, watch all of the above, creating very literal playbooks for every race day, tailored to individual racetracks, trends based on previous races at those tracks, and even weather conditions.Whoa Nellie! Jerry Punch isnt the only crossover commentator to call NASCAR and college football. Jack Arute was a staple of sidelines and garages with ABC and ESPN. Jim McKay called races from Daytona to Darlington, including the first-ever live flag-to-flag televised NASCAR event at the Greenville-Pickens Speedway in 1971. In the 1960s Howard Cosell voiced newsreel-style highlight films of the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway. Jim Lampley was the play-by-play man for Richard Pettys historic 200th career win on July 4, 1984. Eli Gold, the longtime voice of the Alabama Crimson Tide, was also a longtime anchor for the Motor Racing Network, NASCARs radio division. And Keith Jackson, the Voice of College Football, called dozens of races for ABCs Wide World of Sports, including Dale Earnhardts most infamous Intimidator moment, The Pass in the Grass in the 1987 All-Star Race.Exhibition games: The Battle at Bristol will not be the first football game played at Bristol Motor Speedway. On Sept. 2, 1961, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Washington Redskins 17-10, icing the preseason victory with an interception at the goal line. Sonny Jurgensen started for the Eagles and posted a 9-for-15/145-yard passing day. The temporary grass field wasnt ideal, but as Philly running back and former Wake Forest star Billy Ray Barnes recalls, Hey, we got $50 each.Your team logo here: These days race teams change their cars paint schemes as often as college teams change their uniform combinations. A countless number of times those schemes have been college-sports driven. In the 1990s Starter athletic apparel would cover the hood of driver Elton Sawyers car with the logo of their biggest clients nearest the tracks he visited each weekend, from Georgia and Wisconsin to UConn and The U. Over the years NASCAR has seen checkerboard Vols cars to houndstooth Tide rides to, most recently, a maize and blue Michigan Wolverines machine. On Oct. 19, 2013, Jamie McMurray won at the Talladega Superspeedway in an Auburn ride. That same fall the Tigers made their Cinderella run to the BCS title game. I still take credit for that, McMurray jokes now. Then the Joplin, Missouri, native adds, But dont tell them Im really a Mizzou fan.Zooming: Isnt this the most basic, primal connection between college football and NASCAR? Whether youre a tailback or wide receiver, a race car driver or tire changer, or merely just a fan of all of the above, everyone has the same goal. To quote Ricky Bobby, star of the only DVD that Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield keeps in his home theater, I wanna go fast. Air Max 97 Mens Nz .

Yorkshire 282 and 200 for 4 (Ballance 75*) lead Nottinghamshire 94 (Bresnan 3-15, Sidebottom 3-21, Brooks 3-41) by 388 runsScorecard The second day of this match was probably not one on which any Yorkshire supporter was well-advised to stay at home and cut his hedge. On the other hand, it may have been wise for Nottinghamshire loyalists in Scarborough to turn off their phones and head instead for the Howardian Hills.Unless more rains falls than is forecast, Chris Reads team will need to bat for around 150 overs to save a game they actually need to win. Wednesdays evidence suggests they are ill-equipped to get halfway towards this objective.Nottinghamshires decline on a day containing one collapse and the odd longueur gathered pace at 11.20 when Ryan Sidebottom ran in to bowl from the Peasholm Park End. Unkempt locks flopping in the breeze, the Yorkshire bowler looked uncommonly like a 17th century Puritan, an Anabaptist perhaps. It had already been a productive session for Sidebottom, who had dismissed Michael Lumb in his second over when the batsman groped at an away-swinger and edged a catch to Andy Hodd.Now Steven Mullaney played a shot almost at right angles to a very straight ball which whacked into his pad. Sidebottom swivelled and demanded that divine judgement be visited upon the unrighteous. Neil Mallender, who might be flattered by such a notion, obliged. The moving finger was raised and Mullaney moved on.Nottinghamshire were 48 for 4 when their opener was out and they had added only four more when Samit Patel attempted a brainless uppercut to a ball that was too close and too low for the shot. First slip Tim Bresnan took a two-handed head-high catch and Reads men were 230 runs behind with half their batting gone. Sidebottom had taken three wickets for five runs in 12 balls.All this was greeted with cheers by the stallholders on the North Marine Road side until they contemplated the effects on their profits of a two-day finish. The Scarborough Festival is a celebration of all things Yorkshire but its about making a bit of brass, too: there is the Yorkshire Foundation, a Yorkshire Bread stall and the whole affair is sponsored by - you guessed it - Welcome to Yorkshire. Even Jack Russell, that artist among wicketkeepers turned the real McCoy with brushes, makes sure there are pictures of the ground under his strawberry gazebo.Sadly for those wearing green and yellow, the morning was no sort of celebration of all things Notts. Chris Read, their very present help at all times of trouble, was caught at coveer by Alex Lees when attempting to pull a ball from Jack Brooks.dddddddddddd Brendan Taylor, who risked cricketing vertigo by reaching double figures, inside-edged Steve Patterson onto his off pole and Bresnan cleaned up the tail. Notts lost their last eight wickets for 53 runs in 23 overs, their deficit was 188 and no member of Yorkshires attack had bowled more than seven overs. We waited for the follow-on to be enforced and Scarboroughs landladies held a summit meeting to consider the impact of a mass checkout.But, dear reader, they batted on. Instead of going for the quick kill, Yorkshires stand-in skipper, Gary Ballance, chose to hunt the stag to exhaustion. We thought with a lead of 188, we didnt want to bat last on this wicket, he said. We thought it better to get a big lead, rest the bowlers up and come out with a refreshed attack. Well look to get a lead of 500 or so, depending on the weather, and then our bowlers will be ready to go.All the same, with rain forecast, Ballances decision surprised many, including some former first-class cricketers. Curiously, though, batting on was entirely in keeping with the spirit of the old-style Festival, when sides like TN Pearces XI, MCC and the tourists played first-class matches in which winning certainly mattered but had to be incorporated into the overarching aim of making sure games went the distance.So in the afternoon session, Yorkshire scored 113 runs off 35 overs. Lees levied a quartet of successive off-side fours off Mullaney before he was lbw to Brett Hutton for 30 and Adam Lyth had made a pleasant enough 41 when his leading edge was caught by the bowler, Luke Wood. In the evening session the lead was extended to 388 with Jake Lehmann and Jack Leaning passing up chances to make substantial scores but Ballance progressing ruthlessly to 75 not out.It all made fine watching for most of the spectators on a summer afternoon plucked from an Enid Blyton story in which everyone is safe and the children go home for macaroons and ginger beer. Certainly the spectators were not complaining: cricket is the true faith here and watching Yorkshire grinding opponents down is how they enjoy spending their days.And there was even talk of a pleasant epilogue to the cricket. It is rumoured that Ballance has been made a KGD (Knight of the Golden Dustpan) by Scarboroughs relieved landladies. He would be the first Old Harrovian to receive the honour. ' ' '

On Mar. 16, coming off a "fight of the year" performance at UFC 154 the previous November, St-Pierre faced Nick Diaz at UFC 158 in what would be his eighth defence of the welterweight title. Using his superior athleticism, St-Pierre cruised to a five round, unanimous decision victory setting up a much-anticipated title defence against number one contender Johny Hendricks. The Cubs broke serve in Game 2, and by winning on the road they fulfilled the the series starts once a home team loses a game cliché. So while conventional wisdom says we have a series, oddsmakers treated the win as if it were the first nail in the Indians coffin. The Cubs, roughly 2-1 favorites to win the Series before Game 1, are now listed as -230 favorites.With 2016 ERA champ Kyle Hendricks on the mound tonight, the Cubs are listed as a -200 favorite and similar odds are sure to follow for Game 5. That makes this an awfully big game for the Indians. Win this one, with Corey Kluber starting tomorrow, and Cleveland has a realistic path to not only get the series back to Cleveland but to have two chances at wrapping up the title on their home field.That cheery scenario is wholly dependent on winning tonights game though, and in truth, the manner in which the Indians lost Wednesday probably maximizes their chance for winning tonight. By virtue of falling behind early and losing decisively, the Indians have fully rested bullpen weapons in Andrew Miller and Cody Allen. Tonights starter, Josh Tomlin, has been good for five innings of very effective work in each of his two postseason starts this year. He gave up two runs to the Red Sox and one to the Blue Jays, and if he can do the same against another high-scoring offense tonight for five innings, the Indians intra-game win probability will soar.dddddddddddd.Whether he will do that tonight is another question and, in fact, its the most important question for baseball handicappers Joe Peta and Dave Tuley to tackle as they assess possible value offered by either side. Both of our handicappers have picks on the Cubs for the Series, although Tuleys savvy decision to delay the pick got him the discounted price of -115 before Game 2. Through Game 2 of the Series, Peta is 1-0, +1 unit, (10-0, +11.33 units for the postseason) while Tuley is 2-1, +0.93 units having successfully hit the under in both World Series games so far.Westgate line:?Cleveland Indians (Tomlin) +180 at Chicago Cubs (Hendricks) -200? Over/under: 8 (-110 over)Game 2 PickCenter:?56 percent picking the CubsJoe Peta: The tone of baseball headlines sure changed after Game 2, but as you know from reading these pages, there was never a need for the Cubs to panic after Game 1. They are simply the much better team, and as weve seen this October, it takes a superior pitching performance to negate that advantage. Corey Kluber, like Clayton Kershaw, Johnny Cueto, et al. before him, has the skill set to turn in such a performance. Josh Tomlin ' ' '

A Georgia man has filed a $500 million race discrimination lawsuit against NASCAR and its race teams, claiming his?attempts to make NASCAR more racially diverse were rebuffed by the sanctioning body.Terrance Cox III, who operated Diversity Motorsports Racing and who founded a group to protest what it views as injustices of NASCAR by sponsors and team owners toward the minority community, filed the lawsuit Friday in U.S. District Court in New York.Cox claims that NASCAR, racetrack operator International Speedway Corp. and its race teams have not made any efforts to have corporate sponsors support an African-American team. That lack of corporate sponsors is an almost insurmountable obstacle to the integration of NASCAR, according to the lawsuit.According to the complaint, Coxs potential sponsors were encouraged by NASCAR to not work with him but instead associate themselves with Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Tony Stewart. It also refused to promote various programs Cox created to help make NASCAR more diverse, the lawsuit stated, and that his efforts to work with the NASCAR Drive for Diversity program were ignored.In one allegation, Cox said that he talked with media personality Steve Harvey about creating Steve Harvey Races 4 Education and NASCAR ruined the potential deal by telling Harvey it would not sanction any race team associated with Cox.Cox claims that NASCAR and its teams have engaged in unlawful intentional racial discrimination by refusing to sanction African-American owned racing teams ... and by refusing to hire African-American drivers for its racing teams.In a statement, NASCAR defended its Drive for Diversity program -- which has been in place since 2004 -- and said it will fight the lawsuit.NASCAR embraces all individuals interested and involved in our sport, whether as partners, fans, competitors or employees, and there is no merit to this lawsuit, the statement said. NASCAR has a long-standing history of investing in diversity efforts including the NASCAR Drive for Diversity, NASCAR Diversity Internship and NASCAR Diversity Pit Crew Development programs. ... We stand behind our actions, and will not let a publicity-seeking legal action deter us from our mission.NASCAR not only will defend our organization against these meritless allegations, but we will be asserting our own claims against Mr. Cox for his defamatory actions.Cox also is founder of the Minority Youth Matters Movement, whose website lists its mission as to enlighten the American public, the corporate sponsors, NASCAR teams, and owners on the disproportion of sponsorship dollars dedicated to minority NASCAR teams, employment, educational programs and opportunities to race in all series. It has issued news releases about possible protests at NASCAR events and tweets often alleging racism in NASCAR.We established these [diversity] programs to create opportunities for women and minorities, and embrace people of all backgrounds, within the industry, NASCAR said in its statement. Diversity both on and off the track continues to be a top priority for NASCAR and its stakeholders.NASCAR has one full-time African-American driver in its three national series -- Roush Fenway Racing driver Darrell Wallace Jr., who competes in the Xfinity Series. Its national series team ownership includes JTG Daugherty Racing co-owner Brad Daugherty (an ESPN basketball analyst) and Xfinity Series team owner Victor Obaika. Wilmer Difo Nationals Jersey .

Here are his mid-season NBA awards. MVP: (KEVIN DURANT-Thunder) - Has been sensational this season and more importantly, the most consistent player in the league. Considering that his team has been without star guard Russell Westbrook and with the free agent departure of sharpshooter Kevin Martin, hes had to carry the majority of the load to not only keep his team afloat but more importantly, at an elite level.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Floridas home finale against South Carolina could be an awkward affair.Not only is former Gators coach Will Muschamp returning to the school that fired him just two years ago, but the first-year Gamecocks coach will be in the stadium for Floridas Senior Day, when most of the players honored will be guys Muschamp recruited to Gainesville.And if the banged-up and 22nd-ranked Gators struggle again -- they were noncompetitive in a 31-10 loss at Arkansas last week -- Muschamp surely wont be the target of the home crowds angst.Its going to be different, Florida receiver Ahmad Fulwood said. I havent had him as a coach for two years, but to actually be playing against him is something different.It also could be costly for the Gators (6-2, 4-2 Southeastern Conference).Florida leads the SECs Eastern Division and could clinch a spot in the leagues title game in Atlanta with a victory Saturday coupled with Kentucky beating Tennessee. If the Gators falter against the Gamecocks (5-4, 3-4), who have won three in a row, they also could lose control of the division race.So Muschamp has a chance to spoil his former teams season.Even crazier, the Gators are essentially paying him to do it.As part of his buyout at Florida, Muschamp got a $3.15 million payment following his termination on Nov. 16, 2014. The deal also included four annual payments of $787,500 on the anniversary of his firing. The second installment is due next week.Less than a month after he was fired, Muschamp landed at Auburn as defensive coordinator and started recruited against the Gators. Florida was seemingly so frustrated by the situation that it added a Muschamp Clause to coach Jim McElwains contract, which gives the Gators some financial protected if they fire McElwain without cause and he takes a job with another SEC school within 90 days.Muschamp has downplayed his return this week, declining to dissect his four years at Florida or offering insight into what it might feel like to be on the visiting sideline.I have been there before, he said earlier this year. Some Gator fans wanted me there when I was there.Being a visitor in the Swamp probably wont be as daunting as it once was, especially given Floridas mounting injuries .Quarterback Luke Del Rio, who threw six interceptions in hiss last three games, is sidelined indefinitely with a right shoulder injury.dddddddddddd Center Cam Dillard is out for the season with a knee injury, forcing the Gators to shuffle a line that has little depth. And maybe more troubling, Florida will be without its top two tacklers. Defensive leader Jarrad Davis (ankle) will miss his first game in nearly two years and fellow senior linebacker Alex Anzalone (arm) is out for the season.Losing those two, definitely a big loss, safety Marcus Maye said. But I mean were still going to go out with the young guys stepping up. ... Were still going to be the same defense, you know, go out, fly around and just compete.---Some other things to know about South Carolina and Florida:APPLEBY IN: Purdue transfer Austin Appleby will make his third start in place of Del Rio. But McElwain said hes not afraid to play freshman Feleipe Franks. Appleby threw for 440 yards, with three touchdowns and an interception, in his two previous starts.YOUNG GAMECOCKS: South Carolinas second-half surge has been led by its youngest players. Freshman quarterback Jake Bentley is 3-0 as a starter. Freshman Rico Dowdle had a career-high 127 yards rushing in a win against Tennessee. And Bryan Edwards, another first-year player, has 11 receptions for 130 yards and two touchdowns in the past three victories.GATORS HONORED: Florida will honor coach Steve Spurriers first title teams Saturday. Spurrier and players from his 1990 and 1991 teams will be recognized on the field between the first and second quarters. The 1990 team went 6-1 in league play but was ineligible for the title. The 1991 squad was Floridas first official SEC champions. Will really be neat to see all the guys, Spurrier said. I know all our guys want to give our guys a special recognition. Thats what its all about.DEFENSIVE TOUCH: Muschamp clearly has not lost his defensive touch. The man who molded Floridas current defense during his four seasons in Gainesville has had a similar impact on South Carolina. The Gamecocks are fifth in SEC scoring defense and sixth in total defense, improvements from a year ago.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '

Somerset 236 and 348 for 6 (Trescothick 124, Trego 115*, Podmore 3-75) lead Middlesex 381 (Fuller 93, Harris 78, Bailey 71, Gubbins 67, Allenby 4-67) by 203 runsScorecardMiddlesex will anticipate the final day of four at Taunton and reflect that on such days are Championships won and lost. With Warwickshire getting little change from the bottom club Hampshire, there is a chance to extend their lead at the top, but Somersets lead of 203 with four wickets remaining makes victory in the balance. A tense day lies in prospect.When Middlesex took a first-innings lead of 145 and then removed four Somerset wickets before conceding the lead, their hopes must have been high that they could be well on the way to their third win of the season which would be quite an achievement for an attack lacking Toby Roland-Jones, Steven Finn and Tim Murtagh: 76 wickets between them.Instead, they ran aground on both sides of tea against familiar foes as centuries from Marcus Trescothick and Peter Trego lifted Taunton spirits. For 40 overs, as they crashed and carved 181 runs, West Country cricket had a smile on its face again. Middlesexs stand-in seamers have much to commend them, but they deteriorated under pressure and as a green pitch became firm and true their hold over the match weakened.Here are two fine servants of Somerset cricket: the gentle roll of Trescothick, ambling around the crease with the contentment of a jolly sailor reaching dry land after a satisfying days fishing in the Bristol Channel, and the piratical figure of Trego, who is more likely to dock with cutlass and eye patch. They offer fine entertainment, even on a day when a chill wind is whistling around the Quantocks.Trescothicks 48th first-class century for Somerset takes him second in the countys all-time list, his innings coming to grief on 124 when James Harris had him caught at the wicket with a delivery of tight line. His latest landmark leaves him just one century behind the great Harold Gimblett, a batsman from five centuries of Quantocks farming stock.Trego, the great entertainer, only averages about one hundred a year - destructive 40s and 60s are more his metier - but he played with great certainty and remained 115 not out at the close. To reach his first century of the season, he needed a let-off by John Simpson, the wicketkeeper, on 81, a chance high to his right off James Fuller.Trego said; It was my 200th game and I never thought I would get to this point. But having been around for such a long time, I have had to make sure that my game has evolved. I needed to dig in for the team and I felt I did that today.Tres and I have got a great rapport, but a lot of our better partnership[s have been in one day cricket. With Marcus not playing one day games anymore, we dont often get the chance to bat together. So, yes, it was enjoyable.Fuller, resuming on 84, had failed to achieve his maiden Championship hundred before lunch, falling nine short when he edged Tim Groenewald to first slip. James Harris fell in identical fashion, their ninth-wicket stand stretched to 162 in 46 overs, and the match in Middlesexs grasp. There was talk of a three-day win as Middlesex, led by three wickets for Harry Podmore, worked through Somersets second innings. No batsman likes to lose his middle stump because of a leave alone, but Johann Myburgh could at last reflect that he was beaten by a ball that came back sharply and which he might have felt he could fairly leave on length alone.Chris Rogers - the captain who had risked a greentop, knowing that Somerset would have to have first bat on it - had reason to be doubly frustrated about his duck, guiding Podmore to his former Australian team-mate George Bailey at point. Spin has played a minor role on this pitch, but Ollie Raynor chipped in with the wicket of James Hildreth thanks to a sharp catch at slip from James Franklin.Trescothick, as he has so often, welcomed each new partner with equanimity, a figure of certainty while change happened all around hm. Jim Allenby first provided support until he pulled Podmore to mind-on. Then came Trego and Taunton put its gripes and grievances aside and soaked up the entertainment. Adidas Nmd r1 Herre Tilbud .

Having already dispatched Dominic Thiem and Milos Raonic, Djokovic made it three wins from three with a 6-1 6-2 triumph over the world No 11, who was playing as a replacement for the injured Gael Monfils.The result means Djokovic remains on course to regain the world No 1 ranking from Andy Murray - he needs to win all five matches this week to do so - and has now won 21 of his last 22 outings at the season-ending championships. Shot of the matchIt didnt have a bearing on the result, but Goffins deft lob in the fifth game of the first set was pure class. Djokovic gave David Goffin a thumbs up after this excellent lob Djokovics reactionI felt the most comfortable today from all the three matches I have played. I felt I increased the level and quality of tennis, so thats a good sign. Its not easy for him to come out. He came here and practiced for the last couple of days, he didnt play his best tennis, but I wish him all the best and he is a great player. Djokovic gives his reaction to beating Goffin Expert analysisGreg Rusedski: Goffin really doesnt have anything to hurt Djokovic; thats the problem. Djokovic does everything that much better than Goffin, so this was perfect. One hour and 10 minutes on court, tops the group, 3-0, and an extra 200 points, so what more do you want? It has been a perfect group for Novak Djokovic and he is coming into form at the right time. It will be very interesting to see how he plays in the semis.Leif Shiras: Novak was able to outmaneuver his man, who didnt really have enough in him today to figure out a response. You have to problem-solve against Novak constantly. When Djokovic plays with that kind of pace, the conviction, the accuracy, all those good things, he becomes a very difficult out. Djokovic speaks to Mark Petchey at the SkyPad The matchGoffin made a hesitant start and although he held his first service game, he was broken in his second largely due to a pair of double faults.dddddddddddd Match stats Djokovic Goffin Aces 3 1 Double faults 4 4 First serve in % 61 47 First serve pts won % 83 59 Second serve pts won % 36 36 Winners 7 11 Unforced errors 17 21 Net points won 7/11 1/2 Break points won 4/6 0/1 Djokovic was then penalised for a time violation and briefly argued with the umpire, but he did not let it affect his focus and broke Goffin for the second time on the way to winning the first set in 35 minutes.Djokovic also made a flying start to the second set by breaking a below-par Goffin in the third game, and although he didnt manage to break the Belgian again, he still completed a routine win to the loss of just three games.Watch every day of the ATP World Tour Finals, from November 13-20, live on Sky Sports.

Tweet @SkyFootball using the hashtag #TylersTeasersMartins starting statsI didnt do a Sky Sports commentary this weekend because Liverpool against Chelsea has been rearranged to May 11 due to the Blues involvement in the FA Cup - but I covered Leicester versus Newcastle for the world feed.It was the first league double Leicester had done over Newcastle since the 1974/75 season. The Magpies have lost their last seven away games in the Premier League and its 50 years since they last lost seven consecutive away games in a single league season. Shinji Okazakis goal against Newcastle was first home goal for Leicester Shinji Okazaki scored his sixth Leicester City goal and his fifth in the Premier League - but it was his first goal at home. One of his away goals was at Newcastle in November. He has started the last 10 Premier League games and been substituted in all of them.By contrast, Georginio Wijnaldum, Newcastles top scorer with nine, is still waiting for his first away goal for the club.We referred to the partnership of Robert Huth and Wes Morgan last week - and it has gone to 43 Premier League games and 24 wins to go with 12 draws and only seven defeats.Jeffrey Schlupp came on as a substitute for the fourth consecutive game to reach 50 Premier League appearances.Jack Colback, quite conspicuously, avoided any risk of getting a 10th yellow card that would have kept him out of a game that means so much to him against Sunderland - and he is ready to face the Black Cats on Sky Sports on Super Sunday.Fewest points for fourth Manchester City are currently fourth in the table Whats the lowest points tally a Premier League team has needed to qualify for the Champions League? RikMARTIN SAYS: Since the Premier League was awarded a fourth Champions League spot at the start of the 2001/02 season, the average points of the team that has finished fourth is 69.35.However, the lowest points total any team has mustered and still come fourth were Liverpool with 60 in 2003/04, while the most is Arsenal who managed to come fourth in 2013/14 with 79 points.The four main contenders for the final Champions League place this season - Arsenal, Manchester City, West Ham and Manchester United - are all on track to finish on more than the record low of 60 - but less than the average of 69.35.Arsenal are third on 52 points and have picked up 1.79 points per game. At that rate they will finish on 68 points at the end of the season.City are currently in fourth on 51 points, and will finish on 67 if they continue on their current points per game rate. While West Ham would finish on 64 and Manchester United on 62.If City finish on 67 points and finish fourth, it will be the lowest tally since Arsenal finished fourth with the same total in 2005/06.When Chelsea finished sixth in 2011/12 and won the Champions League to qualify for the next seasons competition, they still amassed 64 points - which in some seasons would have been enough to finish fourth.Villas goalscoring woes Aston Villa have only scored 22 goals this season What is the lowest number of goals scored in a Premier League season, and are Aston Villa in danger of beating this record? Stephen BonifaceMARTIN SAYS: Aston Villa are not in danger of becoming the lowest scorers in Premier League history during a single season, having already scored 22 goals - two more than Derby County managed when they were relegated in 2007/08.Remi Gardes side, however, could join an exclusive club of nine other teams that have mustered fewer than 30 goals in a single campaign.Sunderland lead the way having done so three times (29 goals in 2001/02, 21 goals 2002/03 and 26 in 2005/06), while Burnley scored just 28 times last season.Norwich (28 in 2013/14), Middlesbrough (28 in 2008/09), Birmingham (28 in 2005/06) and West Brom (29 in 2002/03) were also relegated after scoring less than 30 goals in a season.However, Manchester City (29 in 2006/07), Leeds United (28 in 1996/97) stayed up with fewer than 30 goals scored, a feat also managed by Sunderland in 2005/06.League leaders Tottenham have not been top of the Premier League yet this season If Tottenham go on to win the Primer League, would it be the least amount of time any side has spent at the top in a title-winning season?MARTIN SAYS: Tottenham have not finished a matchday top of the Premier League at all so far this season (and have only spent 33 days on top in the history of the competition).They currently trail Leicester by five points, so Saturday, April 2 is the earliest they could go top of the Premier League this season.Should they do so on that date, which would rely on Leicester to lose their next game at Crystal Palace and Spurs to win both of theirs, then the longest that Mauricio Pochettinos side could top the table for this season is 43 days.Only two sides have led the Premier League for less time in one season and lifted the title.Manchester City led for just 15 days in 2013/14 when they overtook Liverpool in the final days of the season, while Manchester United were on top for just 31 days of the 2002/03 season.At the other end of the spectrum, Chelsea led for an impressive 274 days last season after going top in August.Southamptons poor discipline Sadio Mane became the sixth Southampton player sent off this season in the Premier League Southampton have had six red cards this season. Whats the highest any team has finished after getting so many? PaddyMARTIN SAYS: To date, 37 teams have had at least six red cards in a season since the inception of the Premier League.Perhaps surprisingly, only seven of those clubs have been relegated during that campaign (Hull - 6 in 2014/15 and 2009/10, Nottingham Forest - 6 in 1998/99, Birmingham - 7 in 2005/06, Newcastle - 8 in 2008/09, Blackburn, - 8 in 1998/99 and Leicester - 8 in 1994/95).As you can see from the above, three of the four sides to finish a season on eight red cards were relegated - but the other side to do so - West Ham in 1999/2000 - finished ninth.No Premier League side has yet reached double figures for red cards in a single season, although QPR (2011/12) and Sunderland (2009/10) went close with nine dismissals. QPR finished 17th that year and Sunderland were 13th.Southampton are seventh in the Premier League table, despite their six red cards this season, and could become just the eighth side with at least that many to finish in the top eight.Arsenal have been the best performing side with a poor disciplinary record, winning the league in 2001/02 with six red cards, while they finished second in 1998/99 with seven and fourth in 2010/11 with six.They are the three highest finishes of any team with six red cards in a season.

SEATTLE -- Mired in a slump for the past month, the Seattle Mariners optioned first baseman Dae-Ho Lee to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.Seattle recalled Stefan Romero from Tacoma to take Lees spot on the roster and the Mariners put him in the starting lineup for Friday nights series opener with Milwaukee. Seattle also activated reliever Steve Cishek from the 15-day disabled list and optioned right-hander Joe Wieland to Tacoma.The move with Lee was not a surprise as the slugger has been unable to shake his recent slide thats seen the South Korean star hit .109 with one home run and four RBI in his last 20 games.Its been a pretty significant slide since the All-Star break and trying to get his timing going, Seattle manager Scott Servais said. Confidence-wise hes down. Ive met with him a couple of times. (Hitting coach) Edgar (Martinez) has tried to get some things going, the timing with his swing, just hasnt happened.Lee was a revelation the first half of the season, earning his way into a regular platoon situation at first base as Seattles primary option when facing left-handed pitching. But he injured his hand around the All-Star break aand said for a few weeks he was unable to keep up his regular hitting routine outside of games.dddddddddddd Servais noted that Lee has been struggling with timing and hoped the decision to send him down will allow Lee the opportunity to rediscover his swing but without the pressure of Seattle being in a playoff race.Lee said his hand is healthy now.It was on and off missing some pitches and a little bit I lost a little confidence of my batting, Lee said through an interpreter.For the season, Lee is batting .246 with 13 home runs and 41 RBI. He has just six hits since the All-Star break and is hitless in his past 14 at-bats.Cishek went on the disabled list on Aug. 4 with a labrum tear in his left hip. The injury did not require surgery and Cishek gives Seattle another right-handed option in the bullpen, but he wont go back to the closer role he had earlier in the year. Cishek was 25 of 31 in save opportunities, but took a blown save and a loss in his last two appearances before landing on the disabled list. ' ' '

Former All Blacks coach Sir Graham Henry hasnt minced his words when asked for his thoughts on the current Wallabies, panning them as the worst I have ever seen.The 70-year-old made the comments on New Zealand radio on Saturday, the same day Australia take on Argentina in Perth in the Rugby Championship and a week after they ended a six-match losing streak with victory over South Africa in Brisbane.That dismal patch included two heavy losses to the All Blacks to once again concede the Bledisloe Cup, which the Wallabies havent held aloft since 2002.Its a concern, Henry, who was coach of the 2011 World Cup-winning All Blacks, told Newstalk ZB.We havent played South Africa yet, but they got beaten by Australia and they are woeful.I think its probably the worst Australian team I have ever seen and thats a real worry for the game.The All Blacks will claim another Rugby Championship crown by beating the Springboks in Christchurch on Saturday night, but he was heavily pessimistic about the current standing of New Zealands two old southern hemisphere rivals.You want Australia playing rugby and you want Australia playing well and you want South Africa to be doing the same thing, he said.But South Africa have probably lost half of their Tests over the last three years.The All Blacks have lost just four times to the Wallabies in the last 30 Tests, while they are unbeaten in 14 straight Tests and unbeaten at home in 43 matches since 2009.

CHICAGO -- With the Cubs in desperate need of a win, manager Joe Maddon put Jason Heyward in right field for Game 4 of the World Series on Saturday night.?The move paid immediate rewards, as Heyward collected singles in his first two at-bats against the Indians. He finished 2-for-4 in the Cubs 7-2 loss.?It marked the first start for Heyward since he went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series at Los Angeles. The 27-year-old, who signed a $184 million, eight-year contract with Chicago last winter, did not play in the World Series opener at Cleveland and entered each of the past two games as a pinch runner before staying in to play right.The Indians also made a couple of intriguing changes with ace Corey Kluber on the mound. They put?Rajai Davis in left field and moved?Carlos Santana to first base. That meant Mike Napoli was out of the lineup for the first time in the postseason, after he played a key role in Clevelands run to the AL pennant.With Kluber pitching, Id like us to have a good defense out there, manager Terry Francona said. I labored back and forth on our first baseman. I hated like crazy not playing Napoli. I physically hate it. But Naps going to play tomorrow against the lefty, and we may put Santana back in the outfield tomorrow again. Well see. I just thought tonight it would serve us better, even havving Nap out of the lineup, to have a defense in there and with Rajai playing.ddddddddddddHeyward entered Saturday night 2-for-31 with nine strikeouts in 12 playoff games this year, continuing his struggles from the regular season. He hit .230 with a career-low seven homers in 142 games in 2016.For right now, pretty much just go play without overthinking it right now, Maddon said before the game. Just go play and just contribute to us winning somehow. But absolutely, its something that needs to be addressed, and he will address it in the offseason. I have a lot of faith in him going into next year.Maddon also moved second baseman Javier Baez down one spot in the order to eighth. The 23-year-old Baez, co-MVP of the NLCS with pitcher Jon Lester, went 0-for-4 in Chicagos 1-0 loss on Friday. He struck out with runners on second and third to end the game.The last couple nights maybe shows that he is 22 or 23 years of age, Maddon said. Maybe, finally, he demonstrates that. Again, what that requires more than anything is just talking to him. Having him getting back to the approach that made him so successful for the last two series in the latter part of the season. Thats it.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report. ' ' '

CLEVELAND -- Josh Gordons curious and complicated career has taken a new turn.Hes getting yet another chance.The talented but troubled wide receiver has been reinstated on a conditional basis by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who met face to face with Gordon last week and said he believes the 25-year-old can make the right choices going forward.Gordon has been banned since February 2015 for multiple violations of the leagues drug policies. He will be suspended for the first four games of the 2016-17 season, but hes allowed to join the team in its upcoming training camp and can participate in meetings and conditioning work.The league said once Gordon meets clinical requirements, he can take part in preseason activities, including practices and games. The Browns have their first practice of training camp Friday.Its a fresh start for Gordon, who emerged as one of the leagues rising stars in 2013 before several missteps led to his banishment.Gordon expressed his gratitude in a message on Twitter.Im blessed and grateful to be granted this opportunity, he wrote. I cant wait to get back out there and play the game I love in front of the great fans of Cleveland.I want to thank the NFLPA, Commissioner Goodell, the Haslam family and Browns organization, my agent Drew Rosenhaus, as well as my mentors for their continuous support along the way.Ive heard only good things from my teammates about the positive direction the organization is heading and I want to do everything I can to be there to help further that process not only for the team but to better myself as well.As long as he stays clean, Gordon, who met with Goodell in New York on July 19, is eligible to return to the team on Oct. 3 and play in the Oct. 9 home game against New England. Thats also the game in which Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will return following his suspension for Deflategate.During his four-game suspension, Gordon may participate in team meetings and other activities, but cant practice or play in games.The Browns said in a statement that would Gordon would be with the team for the start of training camp. At that time, we will discuss directly with Josh the direction of our team, our expectations of our players and a plan to support him on and off the field, the statement said.Gordon was suspended 10 games in 2014 and the entire 2015 season for substance violations, a pattern that began during his college career at Baylor and Utah. He was denied reinstatement in April after failing a drug test because of samples that also tested positive for marijuana.In a letter to Gordon, Goodell made it clear the onus is on the former Pro Bowler to stay clean.As we discussed at our (July 19) meeting, as Commissioner, I want nothing more than to see you turn your circumstances around and succeed, Goodell said.Countless others including your agent, teammates and coaches, (owner) Jimmy Haslam and the leadership of the organization, the Program professionals and Jim Brown also have pledged to provide you with every resource at their disposal. But as you acknowledged, ultimately, your future is your responsibility. I have every belief that you can make the right choices, but it will be up to you to do so.First-year coach Hue Jackson has mostly steered clear of discussing Gordon or the players future during his first months with Cleveland.Brown, the Hall of Fame running back and current team special advisor, had a prominent role in helping Gordon get back in good standing with the league.Gordon had a breakout season in 2013, when he led the league with 1,646 yards receiving, scored nine touchdowns and averaged 117.6 yards per game. However, he has missed 27 of 32 games since and his off-the-field shortcomings have threatened to end a promising future.With his situation unclear, the Browns selected Baylor wide receiver Corey Coleman in the first round of this years draft. Gordon will also be reunited with former college teammate Robert Griffin III, who is expected to be Clevelands starting quarterback this season.During his ban, Gordon has continued to receive support from Browns cornerback Joe Haden, who tweeted, Welcome back!! to his friend.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Nike Air Max NZ .

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Ryan Finley looked at ease as North Carolina States starting quarterback. Of course, he didnt need to do a lot of heavy lifting with Jaylen Samuels and Matt Dayes repeatedly getting to the end zone.Samuels and Dayes combined to score five touchdowns to help N.C. State beat William & Mary 48-14 on Thursday night, an easy win to open the season and build confidence with Finley running the Wolfpacks new offense.Finley had battled Jalan McClendon through preseason camp for the starting job. The graduate transfer from Boise State did enough to get the first gameday shot, then directed touchdown drives on his four first-half series to start Dave Doerens fourth season.At the end of the day we just went out and executed and got our athletes the ball in space, said Finley, who completed 17 of 21 passes for 174 yards and two scores.Steve Cluley ran and threw for scores for the Tribe (0-1), who came in ranked No. 10 in the Championship Subdivision ranks. But they couldnt keep up in a 21-point second quarter by the Wolfpack that may have also solidified Finleys hold on the starting job in the offense installed by Eli Drinkwitz -- who coached Finley at Boise State last year.Finley made a series of easy throws and distributed the ball to playmakers Dayes and Samuels, completing his first nine passes.Hes just got command, Doeren said. Hes not nervous at all. He just played. And I thought he looked really comfortable.Meanwhile, McClendon made a costly mistake in his first series. He rolled right toward the sideline under pressure, then threw late and high for an interception. The redshirt sophomore didnt make it back on the field again until the fourth quarter.William & Mary had just 168 total yards, with top tailback Kendell Anderson getting just five touches after being questionable with a shoulder injury. Cluley threw two interceptions.It was a very physical game and it took its toll on us, Tribe coach Jimmye Laycock said. I like to think that we could have played better but dont know if we could have with as touugh as they are.ddddddddddddTHE TAKEAWAYWILLIAM & MARY: The Tribe opened with a long touchdown drive but things soon fell apart. Then again, its the kind of thing that can happen on the road against a Bowl Subdivision team. Move on.N.C. STATE: Doeren cautioned this week that the Week 1 starting QB wouldnt necessarily be starter all year. That makes Finleys performance little more than a good start in a gameday audition against an overmatched opponent for now, though Doeren acknowledged it also could mean another start next week.PENALTY PROBLEMWhile Doeren was unhappy with the Wolfpacks seven penalties for 80 yards, one stood out in particular.Junior defensive end Kentavius Street made a third-down sack but was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct after ripping off his helmet to celebrate while motioning and pointing to the crowd. That gave the Tribe a first down and sent Street to the sideline, though Josh Jones bailed him out with an interception two plays later to avoid a score on a once-dead drive.Really disappointed, particularly on some of the stupid stuff, taking a helmet off after you get a big play, Doeren said. Act like youve been there before. Its stuff that weve got to get fixed and we will get it fixed this week.SUCCESSFUL RETURNDayes was in position to become the Wolfpacks first 1,000-yard rusher since 2002 last year before a foot injury sidelined him for the final five games. The senior ran 23 times for 138 yards and two touchdowns to go with a pair of catches for 18 yards.UP NEXTWILLIAM & MARY: The Tribe will aim to improve to 7-0 against instate program Hampton on the road.N.C.

There will not be any track suits in the MTS Centre Sunday afternoon.Buffalo Sabres left winger Evander Kane, who courted controversy during his 3 1/2 years in Winnipeg -- and hasnt changed much since arriving in Buffalo late in the 2014-15 season -- wont be in the lineup when the Sabres play the Jets in Winnipeg on Sunday afternoon.He is still recovering from cracked ribs suffered in the Sabres home opener.The Vancouver native finally wore out his welcome in the Jets dressing room after he arrived at a team meeting wearing a track suit, breaking the teams dress code. Defenseman Dustin Byfuglien famously tossed the track suit in a cold tub and shortly afterward Kane found himself packaged up with defenseman Zach Bogosian and sent to Buffalo in exchange for Drew Stafford, Tyler Myers and Joel Armia.When Kane returned to the MTS Centre last season, thousands of fans showed their approval. Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff regularly receives accolades for having pulled off what Jets fans believe to be one of the most one-sided trades by wearing track suits to the game.The Sabres will be playing their second afternoon contest in as many days, having defeated the Florida Panthers 3-0 on Saturday at the First Niagara Center for their first victory of the season. The opening face-off in Winnipeg is scheduled for 2 p.m. CST.Sabres center Johan Larsson told the Buffalo News that his team was relieved to finally get in the win column after snatching defeat from the jaws of victory several times this season.It was great to get a win here, get confidence in the group. We played really well and deserved the win, he said.The Jets return home after a quick one-game road trip to Colorado Friday evening when they defeated the Avalanche 1-0, which came on the heels of a 4-1 win over the Dallas Stars on Thursday.Byfuglien will be in the lineup on Sunday after briefly leaving Fridays contest with an undetermined injury after allegedly being slew-footed by the Stars Antoine Roussel in the third period. He missed about seven minutes of action.Jets coach Paul Maurice left no doubt about his opinion when he was asked if his big defenseman was the victim of a slew foot.Yes, Maurice said matter-of-factly to the Winnipeg Free Press. Its a fast play so its not as easy to pick up on the ice as you might think. You dont see it that much.The Jets come into Sunday with a 4-4-0-0 record for eight points, which puts them in fourth place in the Central division. The Sabres are tied for last in the league with four points and a record of 1-3-1-1.Some further optimism is creeping into the Sabres dressing room as sophomore center Jack Eichel is no longer wearing a walking boot to treat his high-ankle sprain.

NFL Nation reporters pick the greatest trade in franchise history for all 32 teams:AFC East | AFC North| AFC South | AFC West NFC East | NFC North | NFC South | NFC WestAFC EASTBuffalo BillsBills trade for first-round pick, select?quarterback Jim Kelly.?You probably havent heard of linebacker Tom Cousineau, the first overall?pick in 1979 who spurned Buffalo to play in the CFL. But in 1982, the Bills traded?Cousineau to the Browns for three draft picks, including the No. 14 overall selection in 1983, which was used to draft Kelly. You might have heard of him; hes in the Hall of Fame after leading the Bills to four consecutive Super Bowl appearances in the early 1990s. -- Mike RodakMiami DolphinsDolphins trade for wide receiver?Paul Warfield.In 1970, Miami made a rare acquisition of a Hall of Famer in his prime by trading?its third overall pick to the Browns?for Warfield. It seemed like a fair trade at the time, but the Browns wasted the pick on quarterback?bust Mike Phipps. Warfield, meanwhile, played five effective seasons for the Dolphins, recording 33 touchdowns and winning two Super Bowls. -- James WalkerNew England PatriotsPatriots trade for wide receiver Randy Moss.When the Patriots acquired Moss from the Raiders for a fourth-round draft choice in 2007, some wondered if Moss would be a fit in the Patriots hard-driving culture. For that particular year, it was a perfect fit, and he totaled an NFL single-season record 23 touchdown catches in the Patriots undefeated season. At the time of the trade, Moss value had been lessened with declining production in a losing environment in Oakland, but he came to life in New England. -- Mike ReissNew York JetsJets trade up in draft to pick quarterback Joe Namath.The Jets traded up in the 1965 AFL draft and used the No. 1 overall pick on Namath, still the best player in franchise history. They dealt the rights to quarterback?Jerry Rhome as part of a trade package with the Oilers. The Jets outbid the rival NFL for Namath, and the rest is history. He went on to a Hall of Fame career, leading the Jets to their only Super Bowl title. -- Rich CiminiAFC NORTHBaltimore RavensRavens trade for wide receiver?Anquan Boldin.Baltimore found a clutch receiver who helped it win a Super Bowl title when it?traded for Anquan Boldin in March 2010, sending third- and fourth-round picks to Arizona for Boldin and a fifth-rounder. In the 2012 playoffs, Boldin totaled 22 catches for 380 yards and four touchdowns, averaging 17.3 yards per reception and setting team postseason records for catches and receiving yards. The Ravens then made a huge mistake by trading Boldin to the 49ers a month after he helped them win the franchises second Lombardi Trophy. So, Boldin was involved in the best trade and the worst trade in Ravens history. -- Jamison HensleyCincinnati BengalsBengals trade for running back James Brooks.The Bengals and Chargers swapped disgruntled running backs in 1984, with San Diego receiving 30-year-old Pete Johnson and Cincinnati?receiving 26-year-old Brooks. The Bengals got the better end of the deal. Brooks spent eight seasons in Cincinnati, eventually finishing second on the franchises list of rushing yards leaders and making four Pro Bowl appearances while with the team. Johnson lasted only three games in San Diego. -- Katherine TerrellCleveland BrownsBrowns trade for?first pick in supplemental draft to pick quarterback Bernie Kosar.When Kosar left the University of Miami in 1985, he wanted to be a Brown. But the Browns could not get a pick high enough in the draft to get him. In a shrewd move, Ernie Accorsi traded three draft picks to Buffalo for the first pick in the supplemental draft, and Kosar delayed his application to the league so he was eligible only for the supplemental draft. Kosar became a Brown and led the team to an era of great success. He remains one of the most beloved players in team history. -- Pat McManamonPittsburgh SteelersSteelers trade for running back Jerome Bettis.Talk about added roster value. The Steelers pulled off a banner draft-day trade in 1996 by acquiring a barreling running back named Jerome Bettis. They sent second- and fourth-round picks to the Rams in exchange for a third-rounder and Bettis, who rewarded Pittsburghs faith with six straight 1,000-yard seasons on his way to the Hall of Fame. In his last two seasons in Pittsburgh, Bettis rushed for 22 touchdowns and won a Super Bowl. The Steelers dont swing trades very often, but this move was brilliant. -- Jeremy FowlerAFC SOUTHHouston TexansTexans trade for quarterback?Matt Schaub.?By trading for Schaub in 2007, Houston basically conceded that David Carr, a former No. 1 pick who was then a five-year veteran, was no longer their franchise quarterback. Schaub became the most successful quarterback in franchise history, leading Houston to consecutive playoff berths in 2011-12, including the first in team?history. -- Sarah BarshopIndianapolis ColtsColts trade for running back Eric Dickerson.The Colts sent two players and six draft picks to acquire Dickerson from the?Rams in 1987. Dickerson rushed for 3,981 yards and 26 touchdowns in his first 40 games with Indianapolis. The Colts sent rookie linebacker Cornelius Bennett to Buffalo to acquire a player and three draft picks that ended up being part of the package to land Dickerson. -- Mike WellsJacksonville JaguarsJaguars trade for first-round pick, select running back Fred Taylor.In 1998, the Jaguars traded backup quarterback Rob Johnson to Buffalo for the Bills first-round pick (ninth overall) and a fourth-round pick. With the No. 9 pick, the Jaguars took Taylor, who went on to become the franchises all-time leading rusher. He had seven 1,000-yard seasons in Jacksonville, including what was then a franchise-record 1,572 yards in 2003. Johnson was 9-17 in 26 starts with the Bills over four seasons. -- Mike DiRoccoTennessee TitansOilers trade for No. 1 pick, select running back Earl Campbell.For the Titans, it has to be dealing the No. 1 overall pick this year to the Rams along with the Nos. 113 and 177 picks for the Nos. 15, 43 and 76 picks as well as Los Angeles 2017 first-round and third-round picks. (The third rounder will be the Rams compensatory pick if they get one as expected). For the franchise, its the Houston Oilers deal for the No. 1 pick in 1978 that was used on Campbell, who went on to have a Hall of Fame career. The Oilers dealt their first-rounder to Tampa Bay (17th overall, used on Doug Williams) as well as a second-round pick (44th), third- and fifth-rounders in 1979 and tight end?Jimmie Giles. -- Paul KuharskyAFC WESTDenver BroncosBroncos trade for No. 1 pick, select quarterback John Elway.Its not often a franchise gets Hall of Fame-worthy players in trades, but the Broncos have done it twice. There is 2004, when Mike Shanahan shipped running back Clinton Portis to the Redskins for cornerback Champ Bailey and a second-round pick. Bailey played a decade for the Broncos in what is a Canton-worthy résumé. But the franchises best trade will always be when it sent quarterback Mark Herrmann, tackle Chris Hinton and a first-round pick in the 1984 draft to the Colts for the draft rights to Elway. Folks know the rest of the story: Elway became a Hall of Fame player and sports icon who then returned to run the team and help lead it to another Super Bowl win. -- Jeff LegwoldKansas City ChiefsChiefs trade for offensive tackle Willie Roaf.The 2002 trade with the?Saints, for a third-round pick, was the move that allowed the Chiefs to build a premier offensive line and the high-scoring offense they had when they were coached by Dick Vermeil. Roaf played for the Chiefs for the final four seasons of his Hall of Fame career, and he was consistently great. Its no coincidence the Chiefs declined sharply on offense the year after his retirement. -- Adam TeicherOakland RaidersRaiders trade for linebacker Ted Hendricks.Oakland got Hendricks from the Packers following the 1974 season for two first-round picks, and a?year after the deal they?finally broke through to win a Super Bowl. His arrival had a far-reaching impact on the franchise, however. In fact, Kick em in the head Ted freelancing along the line as an unblockable presence set the stage for Oakland winning three Lombardi Trophies in his nine seasons with the Raiders. Ted was one of the greatest players of all time, Raiders owner Mark Davis told me. He dominated. All the way to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and to the tune of four Pro Bowls, two All-Pro selections and being one of just six Raiders to play on all three title teams. -- Paul GutierrezSan Diego ChargersChargers trade for wide receiver Charlie Joiner.San Diego sent defensive end Coy Bacon to Cincinnati in exchange for Joiner in 1976, and Joiner spent his final 11 seasons in the NFL as a signature piece of coach Don Coryells air attack. Joiner?finished his career in 1986 as the franchise receptions leader with 586, a mark he held until Antonio Gates broke the record in 2011. Joiner earned three Pro Bowl invitations during his 18-year NFL career. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1996 and is a member of the Chargers Hall of Fame. -- Eric D. WilliamsNFC EASTDallas CowboysCowboys get eight draft picks in exchange for running back?Herschel Walker.Many thought the Cowboys were crazy for trading their best player in 1989,?but this move laid the foundation for their run of Super Bowls in the 1990s. How important was it? Its immortalized on a wall inside the teams new facility. It remains the most talked-about trade of its day and is unlikely to ever be equaled again. Coach Jimmy Johnson did not care so much about the players he received from Minnesota as he did the picks they turned into. -- Todd ArcherNew York GiantsGiants trade draft picks for quaarterback Eli Manning.ddddddddddddIn a blockbuster deal with the Chargers in 2004, the Giants received Manning, drafted No. 1 overall, and the Chargers landed a package that turned out to be quarterback Philip Rivers, defensive end Shawne Merriman, kicker Nate Kaeding and offensive lineman Roman Oben. The Giants paid a hefty price, but it was worth it when they were rewarded with two Super Bowls. It was a win all the way around. -- Jordan RaananPhiladelphia EaglesEagles trade for quarterback Ron Jaworski.In 1977, the Eagles acquired Jaworski from the Rams for standout tight end Charle Young. Jaworski?threw the bulk of his 28,190 career passing yards in an Eagles uniform and helped coach Dick Vermeil reach the Super Bowl in 1980. -- Tim McManusWashington RedskinsRedskins trade for quarterback?Sonny Jurgensen.The Redskins transformed their franchise in 1964 when they sent quarterback Norm Snead, coming off a 13-touchdown, 27-interception season, and defensive back Claud Crabbe to the Eagles in exchange for the 29-year-old?Jurgensen. With Washington, Jurgensen guided an explosive offense and earned a spot in the Hall of Fame. The Redskins werent winners in the 1960s, but the offensive success led to heightened expectations, which led to a successful run in the 1970s through the early 90s. Jurgensen earned four Pro Bowl berths one All-Pro selection and led the NFL in passing three years while with Washington. He also became a beloved broadcaster. -- John KeimNFC NORTHChicago BearsBears trade for draft pick, select linebacker?Dick Butkus.?The Bears did some wheeling and dealing on draft day in 1964, trading their 1964 second- and fourth-round choices to the Steelers for Pittsburghs top choice in 1965, which turned out to be the No. 3 overall pick. With that third choice in 65, the Bears took Butkus, who went on to become a Hall of Famer and is one of the greatest middle linebackers to ever play the game. Butkus was voted to the Pro Bowl in each of his first eight NFL seasons, and he had his jersey retired by the Bears in 1994. -- Jeff DickersonDetroit LionsLions trade for wide receiver Brett Perriman.While there were other interesting deals that had a positive impact for Detroit, this one was a steal for the Lions, who sent a fifth-round pick to the Saints for Perriman in 1991. They received a player who ended up in Detroit for six seasons, including 1,000-yard campaigns in 1995 and 1996. He became a good complementary piece to No. 1 receiver Herman Moore, and he ended up with 428 receptions, 5,244 yards and 25 touchdowns during his time with the team. -- Michael RothsteinGreen Bay PackersPackers trade for quarterback Brett Favre.Green Bay sent a first-round pick to the Falcons in exchange for Favre in 1992. A few months earlier, the Packers hired Ron Wolf as general manager. At his first game on the job in 1991, Wolf told then-team president Bob Harlan, Im going to go look at Atlantas backup quarterback in warmups. If his arm is still as strong as it was coming out of college, were going to make a trade for him, Harlan recalled. From Favre to Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback position in Green Bay has never been in question for the last two-and-a-half decades. -- Rob DemovskyMinnesota VikingsVikings trade for defensive end Jared Allen.The Sam Bradford trade wasnt the first time Rick Spielman made a bold move with a first-round pick. In the case of Allen, for whom the Vikings gave up four picks to the Chiefs in 2008, the move worked out fabulously. Allen posted 85.5 sacks in his six seasons with the Vikings, exiting as one of the most popular players in team history and providing the missing piece to one of the best defensive lines in the NFL. And while the price was steep -- one of the picks became running back Jamaal Charles -- the Vikings also used the sixth-round pick included with the deal on center John Sullivan, who became a fixture on the line until his 2015 knee injuries and 2016 release. -- Ben GoesslingNFC SOUTHAtlanta FalconsFalcons trade up in draft, select wide receiver Julio Jones.The Falcons surrendered five draft picks to the Browns, including two first-round picks, to move up from the No. 27 pick of the 2011 draft to No. 6, where they took Jones. Jones has become one of the most feared targets in the league, possessing the type of speed and athleticism that gives defensive coordinators and defensive backs nightmares. Some argued that the Falcons lost out on a chance to improve their depth by surrendering so many picks. Well, when you can get a player as dynamic as Jones, its well worth the sacrifice. -- Vaughn McClureCarolina PanthersPanthers trade for tight end?Greg Olsen.Carolina traded a third-round pick to Chicago for Olsen in 2011, and he has since made two Pro Bowls and rewritten most of the receiving records for a Carolina tight end. Olsen has gone over 1,000 yards receiving the past two seasons and is off to his best start ever with 40 catches for 621 yards after seven games. Hes also a consummate pro, a team captain and someone management uses as an example for the type of player it wants. -- David NewtonNew Orleans SaintsSaints trade for draft picks, select offensive tackle Willie Roaf and fullback Lorenzo Neal.The price wasnt cheap, because they gave up linebacker Pat Swilling, who had 76.5 sacks in seven seasons with New Orleans. But the Saints wanted to get tougher in the trenches, so they traded him to the Lions for the No. 8 and No. 89 picks in the draft. With that No. 8 pick in the 1993 draft, they landed Roaf, one of only two primary Saints players in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Roaf was selected to 11 Pro Bowls with the Saints and Chiefs and was on the all-decade teams in both the 1990s and 2000s. Neal was a nice bonus, too. He became a four-time Pro Bowler while playing for seven teams in 16 years. -- Mike TriplettTampa Bay BuccaneersBucs trade for coach Jon Gruden.In 2002, Tampa Bay sent first-round picks in 2002 and 2003, second-round picks in 2002 and 2004 and $8 million in cash to the Raiders for Gruden. The Bucs had been without a coach?for two months after firing Tony Dungy, and theyd been jilted by Bill Parcells not once but twice. Chucky brought some West Coast flair to a conservative offense and took the Bucs?to the Super Bowl, where they faced Grudens old Raiders team and beat them 48-21. In 13 seasons since, the Bucs have reached the playoffs only twice. They essentially traded away their future to get Gruden, but most Bucs fans would gladly do it again after so many losing seasons. -- Jenna LaineNFC WESTArizona CardinalsCardinals trade for quarterback Carson Palmer.?The Cardinals got a franchise-caliber quarterback from the Raiders for pennies on the dollar -- a sixth- and seventh-round pick -- in April 2013, just a few months after coach Bruce Arians was hired. Since trading for Palmer, the Cardinals have experienced their winningest stretch in franchise history, winning 34 games in three seasons. Palmer led the Cardinals to the NFC Championship Game last season with a franchise-best 13-3 record and earned an MVP vote. He was the perfect fit for Arians system, and together they accomplished something that, in some regards, might be bigger than a Super Bowl in Arizona: They turned around a franchise that had spent the large majority of its existence toiling in mediocrity. The Cardinals are now considered a winning team, and its a surprise when they start a season 3-4-1, as they have this season. Thats a credit to Arians and Palmer. -- Josh WeinfussLos Angeles RamsRams trade for running back Marshall Faulk.Three years after sending Jerome Bettis to the Steelers, depriving themselves of the prime years of one of the games best power runners, the Rams acquired the dynamic Faulk in a move that helped spawn one of the greatest offenses in NFL history. They sent second- and fifth-round picks to the Colts for Faulk, who joined quarterback Kurt Warner and receivers Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt to form The Greatest Show on Turf, which won two NFC championships from 1999 to 2001 and claimed Super Bowl XXXIV over Jeff Fishers Titans. Faulk led the NFL with 2,429 yards from scrimmage in 1999 and won back-to-back MVPs in 2000 and 01, a span that saw him score 47 touchdowns. -- Alden GonzalezSan Francisco 49ers49ers trade up in draft to select wide receiver Jerry Rice.Its hard not to choose the deal that landed Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young, but when you have another deal that landed arguably the greatest player in league history, that has to be the choice. San Francisco coach Bill Walsh saw Rice as the type of impact receiver who could keep the Niners dynasty rolling. As Walsh wrote in his book Building a Champion, he saw Rice on highlights late at night before a game against Houston and was instantly smitten. The 49ers dealt the Nos. 28, 56 and 84 picks in the 1985 draft to the Patriots for the Nos. 16 (Rice) and 75 picks. Rice, of course, went on to set every meaningful receiving record in league history and serve as one of the focal points of three Super Bowl teams. -- Nick WagonerSeattle SeahawksSeahawks trade for wide receiver Steve Largent.The Oilers drafted Largent in the fourth round of the 1976 draft but were ready to release him before the season. Thats when the Seahawks decided to pounce, sending the Oilers an eighth-round pick for Largent, who went on to have a Hall of Fame career in Seattle. He played 14 seasons for the Seahawks and is the franchises all-time leading receiver with 819 catches for 13,089 yards and 100 touchdowns. The Marshawn Lynch deal was also a home run, but acquiring a Hall of Famer for an eighth-round pick is tough to beat. -- Sheil Kapadia ' ' '

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Last year, Kansas pulled off the upset of the NCAA volleyball tournament by knocking out top-seeded Southern Cal to advance to the final four. This year, it was the Jayhawks turn to feel the weight of expectations, and that ended up being their undoing.The fifth-seeded Jayhawks, who won the Big 12 title for the first time in program history this season, were upset in the NCAA tournament second round Friday by Creighton, 3-2.The match ended with an amazing, nerve-racking 20-18 fifth set that the Bluejays initially thought they had won at 18-16 on a ball that Kansas hit out. But with Creighton celebrating, the officials conferred and said that the ball had been touched by a Bluejays player, making it 17-17.That could have really rattled Creighton, but the Bluejays didnt let it happen.We did touch it; Im not going to lie, said Creighton junior setter Lydia Dimke. Weve been saying all year long this team is really mature. So to [have] such a high like We just won! and then get brought back down, we just really stuck together. We knew we were going to win it again.Thats what Creighton did, advancing to the Sweet 16 for the second season in a row. Last year, the Bluejays beat North Carolina on the Tar Heels home court in the second round.Creighton was led by sophomore outside hitter Jaali Winters with 23 kills. Big 12 Player of the Year Kelsie Payne led Kansas with 26 kills.Creighton had lost 3-2 to Kansas in Omaha, Nebraska, on Sept. 8. The Jayhawks had gone 8-0 in five-set matches this season until Friday.Hats off to them on a phenomenal season, Creighton coach Kirsten Bernthal Booth said of the Jayhawks, who finish 27-3. To some degree, were playing with house money, and I think the pressure is tough. It was surreal. We made our first Sweet 16 last year, and that was pretty incredible. But this one is even bigger.Creighton, which went five sets in beating Northern Iowa in the first round, will face No. 12 seed Michigan in the regional semifinals. Also advancing to the Sweet 16 on Friday were No. 3 seed Wisconsin and No. 15 seed Missouri; the other 12 spots in the regional semifinals will be decided Saturday.

MINNEAPOLIS -- A chronology of key events leading up to the threat by University of Minnesota football players to boycott the Dec. 27 Holiday Bowl over the suspension of several players:---SEPT. 2: The day after opening the season, several players engage in sex with a woman in the early morning hours at an apartment building near campus. That evening, the womans mother calls Minneapolis police to report that her daughter may have been sexually assaulted.SEPT. 3: The woman meets with police, describes the events of night before, including going out after drinking five to six shots of vodka. In a police report, she describes going to Carlton Djams apartment and having sex with him and roommate Tamarion Johnson. The woman describes several people watching, and her yelling to stop sending people into the room because she couldnt handle it.She says two more players, Ray Buford Jr. and Dior Johnson, entered the room and forced or tried to force her to engage in oral sex, and that Buford had intercourse with her. She told police she got dressed and eventually left.SEPT. 6: The woman meets with police, says sex with Djam may have been consensual but sexual contact with Buford, Tamarion Johnson and Dior Johnson was not. She names Kiante Hardin as someone who may or may not have been in the room and suggests police speak with Seth Green, a player in the room where she first met Djam who was not believed to have been in the apartment where the sexual contact happened.SEPT. 6: Djam shows investigators video from his cellphone taken during the sexual contact with him and others. Investigator Matthew Wente watches one eight-second clip and one 92-second clip and writes that the woman was conscious and aware of what was going on and not slurring her words. Her coordination appears to be normal, and the sexual contact appears entirely consensual, he wrote.SEPT. 7: Djam is interviewed, tells investigators the sex was consensual and identifies Hardin as also involved in the sexual activity.SEPT. 9: Investigators interview and collect DNA samples from Tamarion Johnson, Dior Johnson, Buford and Kiante Hardin. All four say the sexual activity was consensual.SEPT. 30: The case is sent to Hennepin County prosecutors for possible charges.OCT. 3: Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freemans office announces no charges will be filed, citing insufficient evidence to prove that either force was used or that the victim was physically helpless as defined by law in the sexual encounter.OCT. 4: Buford, Hardin, Dior Johnson and Tamarion Johnson, who had been suspended since the incident, are reinstated to the team.OCT. 19, 21, 22: A judge grants the womans request for restraining orders against six players asking they be required to stay away from TCF Bank Stadium.NOV. 2: A settlement is reached to drop the restraining order but require the players to stay 20 feet away from woman or have no contact.DEC. 13: Minnesota suspends Buford, Hardin, Djam, Dior Johnson, Tamarion Johnson, Antonio Shenault, Antoine Winfield Jr., Kobe McCrary, Seth Green and Mark Williams from team activities. The school gives no details, citing privacy restrictions. The university recommends expulsion for Buford, Hardin, both Johnsons and Djam, one-year suspensions for Winfield, McCrary, Green and Williams and probation for Shenault.DEC. 14: The school says 10 suspended players will not play in the Holiday Bowl.DEC. 15: The entire Minnesota football team says it will boycott all football activities until administrators explain the suspensions.

Tuesdays MLB slate features three aces with a game score of 60 or better and 12 pitchers with a game score of 50 or less. Lets dig right into all the information you need to know to help set your fantasy lineups.PitchingEliteMadison Bumgarner dominates the NL West which isnt surprising, but it might be a little shocking to realize that he does his best work against the Dodgers. They are the only team in the division that has been consistently solid throughout Bumgarners career, but that hasnt stopped him from a 2.57 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and 5.0 K:BB ratio in 150 2/3 innings against them. Nothing good comes out of Clayton Kershaw being hurt -- the world is better when hes pitching -- but it could open the door for Bumgarners first Cy Young award. Hes the top pick for Tuesday.When is nearly doubling your walk rate not a major issue? When you also lead baseball in hits allowed per nine innings, as Jake Arrieta does this year. His walk rate has spiked from 1.9 to 3.5, but he continues to leads the league in hit rate at just 6.1, up slightly from last years 5.9. Now if he keeps walking seven per start as he did against Milwaukee last time out, then we are going to have a problem. San Diego is in the bottom 10 for walk rate against right-handed pitchers, so Id be surprised if they drew too many free passes out of him.SolidChris Archer might surprise you with a projected game score of 60, as Im sure you perception of his season isnt too favorable. But he has turned it around lately. Consider that he took a 4.66 ERA into the All-Star break and now has a 4.18 mark heading into Tuesdays showdown with Boston. Of course, those last two words are giving me pause: with Boston. Thats why I just couldnt put him in the elite, even with an elite-level projected GS. Since the break he has a 3.06 ERA and 0.91 WHIP with 56 strikeouts and a sparkling 7.0 K:BB ratio in 47 innings. Boston has hit him for 15 earned in 16 2/3 innings this year, all three starts falling below 50 in game score (26, 39, 48).Tanner Roark lacks the strikeouts to be a full-out DFS stud, but he has been really good this year. I give him real consideration every fifth day, especially if Im investing heavily in pitching and want to make him my SP2.Jaime Garcia is cut from the solid-if-unspectacular cloth. Hes not huge strikeout guy, but hell spike a big game as evidenced by a pair of double-digit strikeout outings. The veteran southpaw has a couple of duds in his seven post-break starts, but outside of those (six earned runs at Miami, five earned runs at Houston), he does have a 2.46 ERA in the other five starts. Garcia is in play at home against the New York Mets.StreamersKevin Gausman is finally showing the strikeout upside weve been waiting for, especially over his last 10 starts with 67 strikeouts in 59 innings, but it hasnt translated into surefire results just yet. He has been more good than bad, but still has a 3.81 ERA and 1.29 WHIP that should make you cautious about overinvesting. Facing the Washington Nationals also makes it tough to dive in headfirst. He cant seem to curb the homers with enough consistency to be fully trusted, either.The stupid thing about Coors Field is... well, everything if youre a pitcher. Jon Gray has some decent home starts this year, but by and large it has been problematic (5.11 ERA). Thankfully, hes back on the road Tuesday, and Id be willing to take a shot on him at Milwaukee. His three best game scores have all come on the road (78, 72, and 70). The Brewers have the highest strikeout rate and ninth-worst OPS against righties this year.Is there anything worse than seeing your gamble SP pitch well for six innings only to be pushed into the seventh and see it fade away? Thats what happened to Sean Manaea his last time out. Im torn because I generally like when teams start pushing the limits of their pitchers. After all, thats the only way theyre going to learn how to handle it. But Oakland sent Manaea out for the seventh with 101 pitches, five away from his season high. He allowed two base hits on three pitches, and he was out. The bullpen allowed both to score and a quality start quickly disintegrated into a 6 IP/5 ER dud. He and Gausman arent too far off in the second half with Manaea having a better WHIP, while Gausman is getting more strikeouts.Joe Musgrove was pummeled at Baltimore in his last outing, so it turns out hes just like every other pitcheer.dddddddddddd. In other words, Im not really holding it against him. If anything, Im going to spin it and say it was slightly impressive that he actually made it into the sixth inning despite giving up 5 ER on six hits in the first two innings. He has got solid stuff, generates swings and misses, and doesnt walk guys. Heading to PNC Park should help alleviate a redux of the homer-fest in Camden, too.Only 20 pitchers have at least two 80 game-score outings this year. Anibal Sanchez is one of them, and both have come in August. He also opened the month with a solid 55 (6 IP/1 ER), but his third start of the month was a 16 (4 IP/8 ER). The bottom line is that hes unquestionably pitching better, showing glimpses of his 2013-14 self, but that success was driven by home run suppression and he has got a 1.7 HR/9 since the start of 2015.Ivan Nova and Dan Straily have both pitched pretty well of late, but home runs keep both from consistently excelling. Well, thats not entirely true. Straily has a 2.61 ERA in the past month despite a 1.7 HR/9, but Nova has a 4.55 ERA in that same span, likely due to his 1.6 HR/9. The Astros offense has been better in the second half, but they still strike out a good bit, and Nova is at home, so I could see giving him a shot...Avoid...but Straily gets the Rangers and Great American Ballpark isnt exactly a good spot for a home run issue.Im going to be careful with Danny Salazar here and probably look elsewhere during a full slate. His first start off the DL went just an inning. The silver lining is that he threw a bullpen during that same game, which hopefully means he didnt suffer reinjury, but instead was just rusty. Its hard to ignore such a good pitcher in Oakland, but I think its best to do so today.HittingTheres no game in Coors! I cant remember the last Tuesday we had like this... and Im too lazy to look it up. The Tyler Skaggs-R.A. Dickey matchup in Toronto could be the Coors-esque game of the night. Options are limited for the Angels outside of Mike Trout and Albert Pujols. Jett Bandy has done the bulk of his damage against lefties, but Dickey has been an equal opportunity hit-allower with an .800 OPS against righties and lefties, so you could consider him if you need to save money behind the dish.Skaggs is returning from Tommy John surgery, and after a couple decent starts to open his season, he has been rocked in his last three. I really like Edwin Encarnacion, Josh Donaldson, Troy Tulowitzki?and Devon Travis getting the platoon advantage. Skaggs has really struggled with lefties which brings Michael Saunders into play as his breakout has been fueled by improvements against southpaws (.978 OPS, compared to .691 career).Robbie Ray continues to give up gobs of hard contact. Its basically either strikeout or well-struck ball, so he has a 4.31 ERA and 1.41 WHIP despite his gaudy 11.2 K/9. Ray has a 3.16 second-half ERA, but his hard-hit contact rate has surged to 40 percent. However, taking advantage of this will be difficult on Tuesday because youd have to draft some Braves hitters into your lineup. Can you even name four current Braves hitters not including Freddie Freeman?The Rockies are on the road in Milwaukee, but facing Chase Anderson can have a bit of a Coors effect on your numbers. For his career, he has struggled more with righties despite being a right-hander himself. The issue has been exacerbated this year with a .949 OPS against them. Miller Park isnt a bad venue at all for hitting, so Im looking at Nolan Arenado and DJ LeMahieu, for sure. Im not averse to dropping some lefties in the lineup, too. Carlos Gonzalez and David Dahl are of particular interest. Charlie Blackmon would be too, but he was scratched for the series opener on Monday with a toe injury, so stay tuned there.Most likely to go yard: Wilson RamosHe really crushes lefties, but 11 of his 19 home runs have come against righties, and I think he gets Gausman here.Most likely to swipe a bag: Keon BroxtonQuick, who has the most stolen bases in August? No, its not Broxton. I totally tricked you with that setup. Its Billy Hamilton by a giant margin (18 to Jonathan Villars 10), but Broxton does sit tied for third with nine. Hes finally panning out on that Spring Training hype... only took him four months! ' ' '

BOSTON -- Claude Julien doesnt pay much attention to compliments or criticism. And hes had plenty of both. Just give him a pair of skates, players to teach and a spot behind the bench and the coach of the Boston Bruins is thrilled.

Mahrez won the PFA Player of the Year award for this season Eventually, the cold got too much for him, leading him to leave his football gear behind as he left the club, borrow a bike and sneak out of his hotel in order to escape.An agent, Jean Evina, told me he had trial for me in the Scottish First Division with St Mirren reserves, Mahrez told LEquipe. He paid for my ticket and I went with another guy from Sarcelles [a suburb in Northern Paris], Dany Bekale. It went well. I played four friendlies and I scored seven goals. I killed them. And then they made me wait. Two-and-a-half months.Id had enough. It drove me crazy, Scotland. It was cold. It was abuse. It was snowing and everything...

Mahrez is on the brink of guiding Leicester to the Premier League title I did not speak English at all. I left my boots at the training ground. I borrowed a bike from a guy from the hotel, I took my football trainers, I made my bag and I left without telling anyone. Not even the lady at the hotel. I left via a staircase which avoided the reception.Mahrez eventually signed for French club Le Havre after a spell with amateur side Quimper, before joining Leicester for £400,000 in 2014.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons coach Dan Quinn said he expects running back Tevin Coleman to play Sunday against the?Broncos?despite Colemans concerns about how having the sickle cell trait could affect him in the altitude in Denver.Coleman told ESPN he was unsure about playing because his blood disorder, related to sickle cell disease, can cause complications in environments with low oxygen, such as the high altitude in Denver. Coleman said he would consult with Quinn about the best way to proceed.Quinn addressed the topic Monday and did not express doubt about Colemans playing status.Former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back and current ESPN personality Ryan Clark, who has the sickle cell trait, not the more serious sickle cell anemia, had an episode after playing in Denver in 2007, when he became gravely ill and ultimately lost his spleen and gallbladder. Clark was then kept from playing in two subsequent games in Denver, including a playoff game.Last year, Bengals defensive tackle Geno Atkins was cleared to play in Denver with the sickle cell trait and played 39 of 65 defensive snaps in a 20-17 overtime loss to the Broncos.Theres been a number of guys who have sickle cell trait whove played in Denver over the last nine years and certainly before then, Quinn said. So we fully intend on Tev playing and playing well.Quinn downplayed the possibility that Colemans reps would need to be monitored. However, a medical source with previous experience with an NFL team told ESPN that teams should strongly consider cutting down reps when a player has the sickle cell trait, depending on how that players body adjusts to the altitude. The biggest factor is staying hydrated, something Coleman planned to do all along.I guess coach will see how I feel when we get there, Coleman told ESPN. And I just have to communicate with him, if I am out there [playing], if Im dead [tired] or cant breathe. We just have to play it smart.In August, Coleman was pulled from the end of a practice as a result of his condition and the extreme heat.Coleman has been a major factor in the Falcons 3-1 start while sharing carries with starter Devonta Freeman. Through four games, Coleman has 129 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns on 40 carries. He also has 13 receptions for 181 yards. Dean Wade Cavaliers Jersey .

Collin Sexton Cavaliers Jersey . -- For the first time in two months, an opponent was standing up to Alabama. The ICC has agreed to support Sri Lanka Cricket and Kusal Pereras claim for costs and damages from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), SLC president Thilanga Sumathipala has said.Perera had been suspended after a Qatar-based lab found a banned substance in his urine sample, but the doping charges were dropped in May when an independent analyst found that the WADA-accredited labs findings were not sustainable.Though the ICC had previously said it does not accept that it is responsible for the consequences the labs findings, SLC believes it has got the ICCs support in its attempt to obtain both costs and compensation from WADA itself.Sumathipala said the boards request for compensation for Perera received widespread support at the recent ICC meeting in Edinburgh.We appealed to the ICC about the injustice that had happened to Kusal, and we were given an audience at the CEOs meeting. I must say the committee comprising of the CEOs unanimously supported our claim, he said. Then it came to the board meeting, and at the board meeting we made the appeal that there should be compensation - not just the cost. It was decided that the costs and the compensation should be paid to him, because the ICC took the position that the claim made by Kusal is fair and justifiable. ICC decided to stand by Sri Lanka Cricket and support the claim.SLC said it spent about 13 million Sri Lankan rupees (US $92,000 approx) on fighting the case. The player himself is expected to pay this figure back to the board, according to Pereras management. The boaard, however, has been adamant that those responsible for the imposition of the five-month suspension on Perera should ultimately bear the costs.ddddddddddddSumathipala suggested that no less than 35 million rupees (US $246,000) was appropriate, given Pereras loss of earnings during the suspension, and the damage to his reputation.This kind of compensation has never ever been paid to anybody in the history of cricket, Sumathipala said. The ICC and SLC are together in this - the money is ultimately coming from WADA, through the ICC, to Kusal. It is a new experience for WADA as well.Sumathipala said the board was optimistic WADA would provide compensation, as it has already accepted there was a flaw in its processes. I dont think we will have to go to court over it, he said. According to Sumathipala, the ICC and WADA have also blacklisted the Qatar-based lab.Discussions with WADA are believed to be in their very early stages, though, and Perera himself is yet to be brought up to speed on the situation. SLC officials are expected to meet with Perera and his management after the player returns from the England tour on Thursday.Perera missed a full tour of New Zealand, bilateral T20s against India, the Asia Cup and the World T20 as a result of the suspension. He was also ineligible for this years IPL auction, as well as the initial Test squad for England as he had only recently returned to training. ' ' '
