WASHINGTON -- The Kansas City Royals are going to have to work on their nicknames as far as President Barack Obama is concerned. Everything else was looking pretty good though as he honored the 2015 World Series champions at the White House on Thursday, describing them as one of the grittiest, most complete teams weve seen in a long time.The Royals last visited the White House in 1985, when President Ronald Reagan saluted their never-say-die spirit in the Rose Garden. The 2015 team showed the same quality. Six outs away from playoff elimination, the Royals scored seven runs to defeat the Houston Astros. They went on to win that series and to beat the Toronto Blue Jays and the New York Mets. Obama noted that the Royals held the record for comeback wins in the playoffs.Obama also acknowledged that it had been a long time between visits to the White House for Kansas City. Lets face it, its been a long road for Royals fans, Obama said. There were some dark years, some tough decades.But Obama said that began to change when general manager Dayton Moore was hired and the Royals started to develop talented players through their minor league system. Among them: outfielder Alex Gordon, infielders Mike Moustakas and Eric Hosmer, and catcher Salvador Perez.Obama called each of the players by his nickname: Gordo, Moose, Hos and Salvy. But the president didnt seem to find those too creative.Were going to have to work on these, Obama said.When the president calls you out, you definitely got to start thinking about something, Hosmer said after the ceremony. Weve got some guys in the locker room, Im sure theyre starting to bear down on that.However, Obama admitted to liking outfielder Jarrod Dysons description of one of the teams top weapons: Thats what speed do.Thats a good quote, Obama said.Obama noted that his press secretary, Josh Earnest, is a big Royals fan, and that the Royals visit Thursday was right up there as far as his best days ever. Manager Ned Yost, Hosmer and Perez interrupted the days press briefing to present the Kansas City, Missouri, native with a team jersey, an upgraded mug and an autographed World Series baseball. Yost said the team didnt want Earnest to get into trouble by him trying to hijack the presidents jersey.The team gave Obama a Royals jersey with the No. 44 in gold lettering, which nicely matched the ornate drapes in the White House East Room.

According to a report from the Winnipeg Free Press, the Bombers will name Acting GM Kyle Walters to the post full time.The Rugby Football League has made a canny decision to appoint guru Wayne Bennett, Sky Sports pundit Stevo writes... Steve McNamaras England may have beaten New Zealand in the series at the end of last year, but for me it wasnt the best New Zealand side weve seen so it didnt surprise me to see him let go.With the greatest respect England have ended the tenure of a coach who hasnt won a trophy, and replaced him with someone who has won many, which can only be a good thing. About four or five years ago the RFL wanted Bennett but at the time he said he would prefer to stay in Brisbane, however theyve now got their man and its an appointment that I am fully behind. There are some who will say that he shouldnt be combining his duties with the Broncos with his England role, but the RFL made it clear that they were happy for McNamara to do the same so its no different for Bennett really. Stevo Bennett is a coach who is frankly a guru of the sport who is revered the world over. Despite this hes a very modest person; a rugby league man through and through.His strength as a coach is his ability to get the best out of players. Some coaches make the mistake of finding a player then trying to make him something different. Eddie Jones gives his thoughts on Bennett replacing Steve McNamara as the new head coach of the England rugby league team Ive always been a firm believer that you dont try to change the way someone plays the game. If someone plays the game aggressively then allow them to do that. You cant change him, so just get the best out of the way he plays the game.Likewise if a player is likely to take risks then theres no point asking him to play a conservative style. Bennett is the kind of leaader who will pick players and give them the freedom to play the way they would like to.dddddddddddd Stevo thinks Bennett can bring success to England Another factor he will bring to the England team is his temperament, which will give confidence to the young players. He will be able to lift players who perhaps just need that little bit of confidence to take the next step.When you start playing for your country youre naturally a bit nervous. You dont want to make a fool of yourself and theres always that anticipation of whether or not youre going to fit in, because its a huge step from club level to international. Bennett will help those players to get their head in the right place while they are in the camp and on the field.There are some who will say that he shouldnt be combining his duties with the Broncos with his England role, but the RFL made it clear that they were happy for McNamara to do the same so its no different for Bennett really. Bennett consoles Jack Reed after defeat during the 2015 NRL Grand Final match In any case, if you want the best youve got to do whatever it takes to get him in. England want to have the best players, and with that comes a need to have the best coach. If this is what needs to be done in order to have a coach of the stature of Bennett in the fold, then its a very good move by the RFL.I for one am looking forward to England taking Australia apart in the future, and who better to lead England in doing that than of their own!
