HARRISON, N. Detroit Lions Jerseys .J. -- Before Saturdays practice, Tim Cahill had a premonition about New York Red Bulls teammate Fabian Espindola. "I told Fabian yesterday that he was going to score," Cahill said of the Red Bulls forward, who got his first goal since April 20 in a 2-0 victory over the Houston Dynamo on Sunday. "It didnt matter how long he had been without a goal," Cahill said. "Hes been playing well. When our front line plays well, it takes the pressure off the midfield. Im so happy for him. Ive said time and time again that this team cant worry about stats. We have to worry about getting wins." Espindola broke a scoreless tie in the 60th minute off a feed from Eric Alexander. Jonny Steele put the game away with two minutes left in regulation, giving the Red Bulls (8-6-4) their first win since defeating Los Angeles on May 19. They were 0-2-1 during that span, which included a three-week hiatus. "It was huge for us," said first-year coach Mike Petke. "I think todays game was vital. I wont say the must-win thing, but it was a very vital game. If we dominated like the way we did, thats a positive step to get back to the mentality we had before the break." The Red Bulls moved within one point of first-place Montreal in the Eastern Conference. Houston (6-6-5) remained winless in its last seven matches, going 0-4-3. "Were just making too many mistakes and those mistakes punish you," Dynamo coach Dominic Kinnear said. "Overall, our play has been good, but sometimes it comes down to what youre doing in both boxes. You go through things like this in the MLS, but just because youve done it before doesnt mean Im not worried and upset." Espindola, who had two goals in the season opener, got behind the defence after Alexander fed him with a perfect lead. He made a solid 20-yard run with the ball, then touched a left-footed shot past goalkeeper Tally Hall for Espindolas fourth of the season. Steele then put the game away in the 88th minute. He took a return pass from Thierry Henry and buried it hard into the upper right corner of the goal. It was Steeles second goal of the season. "We were playing very hard and we got some good chances," Steele said. "We had our chances in the second half and we capitalized. If you keep a clean sheet, then you have a good chance to win." Steele took a kick to the face from Kofi Sarkodie in first-half stoppage time and received a cut to the chin that required five stitches. "But nothing was going to keep me off the field today," Steele said. Petke credited the play of his two goal scorers. "If you would have told me before the season that Fabian and Jonny would be front-line starters for us at this point, I would have said, Probably not," Petke said. "The two of them work so hard. They epitomize what hard work means. They got rewards for their hard and work and it was good for them." Luis Robles made three saves for his fifth shutout of the season. "It was a real important win for us," Cahill said. "We needed to bring back some stability. We hadnt won in a while. But I felt confident from the start. I knew we had the upper hand. I didnt feel like they could hurt us as long as we played with discipline." The Dynamo failed to score a goal for their third straight game. "Its been a difficult time for us and things have been going against us," Giles Barnes said. "Its a game of inches. ... Once we get one, then things will open up for us."

The Barrie Colts defenceman, who impressed many with his play for Canada at the World Junior Hockey Championship, is the top-ranked skater in the February rankings. He has 19 goals and 24 assists for 43 points in 45 games with the Colts this season.Ronnie OSullivan says he passed up the chance of a 147 at the Welsh Open, claiming the £10,000 prize money on offer was too cheap. In the final frame of his 4-1 win over Barry Pinches at Cardiffs Motorpoint Arena, the five-time world champion was on course for the 14th maximum of his career having potted 13 reds and blacks.Off the 14th red, though, he played a simple positional shot onto the pink despite having made several audacious shots earlier in the break to return to the black. He duly cleared up for the more unusual feat of a 146 break and an imposing, but beatable, marker for the tournament high-break prize.OSullivan left the arena with a broad grin and then told BBC Wales: I could have got on the black and possibly made a 147. OSullivan did not think the maximum-break prize money was sufficient I knew it was 10 grand and I just thought thats a bit too cheap really. Barry Sanders Youth Jersey. To make a maxi, its such a massive achievement and if theyre going to pay us 10 grand, I think its worth a bit more than that.Once the prize goes up a bit, Ill go for the 147. A 146 is just as good!The prize for a 147 is calculated on a rollover basis, with £5,000 added to the pot in each tournament.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. Calvin Johnson Youth Jersey . -- Alabama will trot out an unproven quarterback, insert a new tailback and replace a collection of NFL draft picks.Its not the conventional formula for contention but it worked just fine for the Crimson Tide last season, when Nick Saban and `Bama navigated a similar scenario to claim their fourth national title in seven years.-New season, same old expectations. It seems a given these days that Alabama is as well stocked with talent as any team in college football, but Sabans standard theme is about mind-set and attitude not recruiting rankings.When we have a critical mass of players that buy into the team ... we seem like weve done pretty well in the past, he said. When we have lots of people preoccupied with other things like how much theyre going to play or who their agents going to be next year or whenever, we dont seem to do nearly as well.For the third straight season, the Tide carried a quarterback competition into fall camp. Cooper Bateman, Blake Barnett, David Cornwell and freshman Jalen Hurts all have been in the mix, though Cornwell was limited during the summer and early in camp by a foot injury.The biggest hole is the one left by Heisman Trophy-winning tailback Derrick Henry, who ran the ball more times (395 carries) than Jake Coker threw it (393).Henrys replacement -- likely a combination of Bo Scarbrough and Damien Harris -- will still be able to run behind All-SEC left tackle Cam Robinson. Ross Pierschbacher moves from starting left guard to center, replacing first-round draft pick and Rimington Award winner Ryan Kelly.Calvin Ridley headlines a loaded receiving corps that also includes tight end O.J. Howard, offensive MVP of the national championship game.A defense that led the nation against the run and ranked third in points allowed per game, total yards given up and sacks is loaded with returning stars like defensive end Jonathan Allen and safety Eddie Jackson.Young players like run-stopper DaRon Payne and cornerbacks Minkah Fitzpatrick and Marlon Humphrey look like future stars. Others like defensive end DaShawn Hand and Reuben Foster could be poised for breakout seasons.KEY GAMESat Mississippi, Sep. 17; at LSU, Nov. 5; Auburn, Nov. 26.SEASON OPENERFaces Southern California -- offensive coordinator Lane Kiffins former team -- Sept. 3 in Arlington, Texas. Its the kind of neutral-site game thats become a regular staple as `Bamas opener under Saban, and hes won all six by double-digit margins.NEW BACKFIELDThis is the first time Saban hasnt been able to insert an experienced tailback to replace the latest NFL-bound star (six Tide backs have been drafted in the first three rounds over the past six years). Scarbrough and Harris are former five-star recruits who got limited carries as freshmen so theyre still unproven. Plus, two recruiting services rated freshman B.J. Emmons as the nations top runner. It will almost certainly not be a one-man show like last season, when none of Henrys understudies even reached 80 carries.FRONT SEVENThe defensive front seven might lack last seasons tremendous depth, but Jonathan Allen and Tim Williams both put off entering the NFL draft to return after racking up double-digit sacks.PREDICTIONArguably the teams toughest SEC games come on the road against Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee and LSU. The Rebels have beaten Alabama the past two years. Theres plenty of backfield talent, if minimal experience. But the Tide remains strong on both sides of the line of scrimmage, and Ridley is one of the SECs top receivers. The result: An 11-1 (12-0 is certainly a possibility) regular season and another SEC West championship.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.org Kenny Golladay Youth Jersey .

SYDNEY -- That burns a little bit. Jonathan Ogden Youth Jersey .With that, Adam Scott summed up his 2013 Australian Open implosion at Royal Sydney and showed just how badly he wants to win at the same course this week.The world No.7 is the highest ranked Aussie vying for the Stonehaven Cup, a tournament another local Geoff Ogilvy described as a major for all Australian players.Yet it is even more personal for Scott after he walked up the 18th green at Royal Sydney with a one-shot lead in 2013, only to bogey and open the door for Rory McIlroy.I certainly feel like Id like to get a win here at Royal Sydney after what happened a few years ago - that burns a little bit, Scott said on Wednesday.Also to win the Aussie Open is special, but it would kind of cap off what was a good year but it would make it feel just that bit better because I got another win.Looking back on the 8-iron error that helped open the door for McIlroy, Scott lamented a lack of judgement that saw him miss out on a win that would have completed the Australian Triple Crown.Yeah I just, from memory, obviously the 18th hole stands out and I made an error on the last hole, one I couldnt afford to, Scott said.Its just the way the game goes. If Id just hit a pretty average shot to the front of the green and two-putted, Rory probably doesnt make his putt and I win the tournament. But I just slightly pushed the 8-iron and misjudged the wind, it goes over the green into a tough spot and make a five.And then the doors open for Rory and being such a great player, you know youve got to take those breaks when theyre given to you and he knocks it in. It was a shame because Id had such a great run down here, but maybe a good motivator for me this week to try and get out and do it all again.While McIlroy proved his tormentor in 2013, Scotts main challenge at Royal Sydney this time around will come from world No.5, American Jordan Spieth.The 23-year-old two-time major winner has travelled to Australia the last two years, a win in 2014 and runner-up finish in 2015, but he is getting his first look at Royal Sydney this week.Still, Scott wasnt sure whether his extra course knowledge would be a factor this week.Over Jordan? Maybe, Scott said when asked if he had the edge due to his local knowledge.I mean hes such a good player he can figure a course out pretty quickly.I think even though hes young hes already got so much experience, playing everywhere around the world which is I think to his advantage that hes coming out here and playing this event. And in some small way Im sure its going to help him, whether its with an Open Championship or something like that in the future.But the young guys playing around the world I think get so much experience and hes got a very mature head on his shoulders so hell figure it out.But just having played here a fair bit over the years I feel very comfortable and I might have a little bit of an advantage in that sense.While Scott will be the sentimental favourite with the local fans, there is no shortage of other Australian players capable of taking out the Stonehaven Cup. And it will likely be well received, too, given the flailing fortunes of Australias other leading sports teams.Well theres heaps of us playing so the odds are pretty good, Scott said with a smile when asked if he could deliver and Australian victory.Well Jason had a good year again, hes No.1 in the world - hes holding Australian sport high at the moment.

PITTSBURGH -- Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin fought to a draw on their home ice. Max Scharping Texans Jersey .Canada, however, remains a bit ahead of Russia. At least for now.Ryan Getzlaf beat Sergei Bobrovsky on a breakaway at 3:29 of overtime to give Team Canada a 3-2 victory over Team Russia in a World Cup of Hockey exhibition Wednesday night.Bobrovsky made 45 stops, some of them spectacular, but couldnt wrangle the puck when Getzlaf slipped it between his pads during the 3-on-3 extra session.John Tavares and Patrice Bergeron scored for Canada. Crosby assisted on Bergerons score while playing underneath the familiar banners at Consol Energy Center. Carey Price had 24 saves for Canada, which finished 2-1 in exhibitions before the eight-team tournament begins in Toronto this weekend.I think the whole thing with a short tournament event is to keep getting better, keep improving and keep building off each game, said Crosby, who had two assists in the three exhibitions. I think were able to do that. I think theres still another level, but Im sure thats the case for a lot of teams. We need to get to that level gradually.Artemi Panarin had a goal and an assist for the Russians. Alexander Ovechkin also scored. Malkin assisted on Ovechkins goal to match longtime Pittsburgh teammate Crosby.We go up against each other a lot, Malkin said. Hes tough on the boards protecting [the] puck every time. Its a hard battle against him. I like how I play, too.The Canadians open the tournament Saturday against the Czech Republic. Russia, which went 1-1-1 in three tuneups, begins on Sunday against Sweden.We didnt lose the game right away, Ovechkin said. We battled and got the lead. The boys feel much better now and for the future.Canada is a heavy favorite to continue its run atop international play, a surge that started with a triumph at the 2010 Olympics and continued two years ago in Sochi when they grabbed gold again while the host Russians missed the medal stand completely.Anything less than hearing O Canada play after the final at the end of the month would be a disappointment, particularly at home. Its a role Crosby and his countrymen thrive in, though theyve been a bit uneven during their three exhibitions, following up a 5-2 romp over the U.S. last weekend with an up-and-down performance against Russia. Canada dominated early and then spent the middle portion of the game on its heels a bit before collecting itself late.I think weve gotten more and more comfortable, Crosby said. Special teams is going to be big ... Its a process, but I thought we definitely got better with every game and generated a lot.Crosby and Malkin both joked about facing each other on the same sheet of ice theyve shared for a decade, with Crosby good-naturedly saying he may take a friendly shot at Malkin if the moment called for it. The moment ended up coming in the first period, when the two briefly met in the corner before Malkin skated away with both players unharmed.Canada controlled the first period and took the lead when Crosby fed a streaking Bergeron, who slipped it by Bobrovsky to put the Canadians in front during a 20-minute stretch in which they outshot the Russians 14-5 and tilted the ice heavily to once side.Russia slowly found its footing and finally converted when Malkin won a faceoff and dropped it to Panarin, who slipped it across the ice to Ovechkin. The Washington Capitals star drilled a one-timer from his familiar spot in the left circle to tie it 3:40 into the third. Panarin put Russia up less than four minutes later when he jumped on a rebound to give the Russians the lead.Tavares picked up his third goal in as many exhibitions by threading a wrist shot from the top of the zone by Bobrovsky at 13:58. Bobrovsky sent the game into overtime with a series of stellar stops in the final minutes of regulation, including a slick glove-hand save against Crosby from in close.I like how we play, Malkin said. Next time we play [the] semifinal or final, I hope. Kahale Warring Jersey .

We just couldnt get the next hit to get something big, a big inning going there.St. Louis took two of three games to improve to 13-0-1 in the last 14 series against the Brewers. The Cardinals are 29-12 at Miller Park since beating the Brewers in the 2011 NLCS.Aledmys Diaz scored from first on a single in the fifth to snap a tie and the Cardinals entered the All-Star break having cut a 12-game deficit to the Cubs to seven in the NL Central.Thats pretty impressive, manager Mike Matheny said, because we havent played well.Adams snapped an 0-for-27 skid with a solo homer to right estimated at 455 feet to lead off the second. That ended a 16 1/3-inning scoreless streak for Guerra (6-2). The 31-year-old rookie allowed another solo shot to Grichuk in the sixth and snapped a three-start winning streak.I didnt make quality pitches at times, Guerra said. When I missed my spot, they took advantage and got some big hits when they needed them.Grichuk and Adams added RBI hits in the ninth off Jeremy Jeffress.Jonathan Lucroy had two hits, including an RBI single in the first for the Brewers.Strikeouts have been a problem Milwaukee season, and Leake (6-7) was an unlikely candidate to keep that going.Leake entered with a rate of 5.7 strikeouts-per-nine-inning, ranking 91st out of 99 qualifying pitchers in the majors. However, he used his slider to keep Milwaukee off balance.I had that to go to because it was working and they were swinging over it, Leake ssaid. DOnta Foreman Youth Jersey. So why not use it a little bit more?Leake allowed six hits and no walks in his first win since June 12.Hernan Perez fanned three times, and the Brewers struck out 10 or more times for the 42nd time in 87 games.Former Brewers reliever Jonathan Broxton struck out two in a perfect eighth before a two-run ninth put it away.The Cardinals took a 2-1 lead in the fifth thanks to their speedy All-Star. Diaz reached on his 19th infield single with two out. He then never stopped and scored from first on Stephen Piscottys bloop single off center fielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis glove.The 31-year-old Guerra walked Leake with two out in the sixth to end his day. The former independent league right-hander gave up seven hits and three walks while striking out five.The home run by Grichuk was a pretty good pitch, really, Counsell said. I thought Junior pitched well. He had to battle through it a little bit, but he had good stuff.TRAINERS ROOMBrewers OF Domingo Santana (elbow) will remain in Milwaukee during the All-Star break to rehab. The goal is to hopefully increase his on-field activity starting Friday in Cincinnati, Counsell said. Hopefully by the weekend, we can determine dates for (a minor league rehab assignment).BLAZEK DEMOTEDMilwaukee optioned right-hander Michael Blazek to Triple-A Colorado Springs after the game. He has a 12.15 ERA in eight appearances since coming off the disabled list June 21.Ive just got to be able to go out there and do my job, Blazek said. Obviously the last few weeks I havent been able to do that. So Ill go down and work and some stuff. Ill be back.WEB GEMA fan in the first inning made a leaning catch of a foul ball with his glove, bounced off the top of the Milwaukee dugout and fell backward to the ground. The man held onto the ball and drew cheers from Brewers owner Mark Attanasio, sitting nearby.UP NEXTBrewers: Lucroy heads to his second All-Star Game.

A garland was put around Taskin Ahmeds neck as he was mobbed by neighbours, friends and relatives on Friday evening. Dan Marino Youth Jersey . The Bangladesh fast bowler couldnt enter his house in southern Mohammadpur as kids of all ages tried to lift his hand. He waved at the crowd and shed a few tears.Less than a kilometer to the west, selector Habibul Bashar was about to go to the pharmacy when his wife, scared of all the bursts and pops in the nearby area, asked him to stay indoors. Bashar headed out nonetheless, unaware of what was happening just few blocks away. When he arrived at the Shere Bangla National Stadium on Saturday, he greeted Taskin who then described what had happened outside his house.They burst crackers and rockets worth thousands. Everyone was celebrating, including my parents. I joined in too, said a smiling Taskin, who had informed his mother first when he heard the good news on Friday afternoon.It was a scene out of an election campaign, and hardly something you would imagine for a fast bowler who had just had his bowling action cleared by the ICC. Certainly no cricketer who had just got cleared for an illegal bowling action has received such a reception.But that is how they roll in Zakir Hossain Road, Taskins quiet central Dhaka neighbourhood. When he plays for Bangladesh, there are posters of him everywhere in the area and kids try to imitate his bowling action and latest hairstyle. When he does well, his parents see neighbours bursting crackers and wishing them well. Now, they were celebrating the end of his exile, or at least thats what it felt like.When I walked out in the street, people asked me why my arm wasnt straight, Taskin said, recalling the time after his action had been reported. There was a lot of pressure on me, so I am really happy now. This is an occasion to feel relieved, and I look forward to returning to international cricket.The clean chit for Taskins action came as a satisfying reward for his hard work in the nets with bowling coach Mahbub Ali Zaki. It also vindicated his decision to play for Abahani Limited in the Dhaka Premier League, Bangladeshs domestic one-day tournament, which was seen at the time as a risky move and a hindrance to his rehabilitative training routine.But Taskin regularly worked overtime after Abahanis training sessions between April and June, ensuring he was progressing as planned by Heath Streak and later Zaki. He monitored every single delivery, and then the footage was passed on to the BCBs newly-formed bowling action review committee in August. He gave a mock test in front of their cameras, after which he was told that his bouncer, the delivery identified as illegal in Chennai in March, looked clean. But no one could be sure.Taskin and Arafat Sunny headed out earlier this month to Brisbane for their reassessment, their only route back to international cricket. Both are now in the clear, and for Taskin there is immediate on-field action in the Afghanistan-Bangladesh ODI series.The boisterous celebrations demonstrated Taskins popularity, but the experience he and Sunny have had over the last six months should serve as a cautionary tale for the many domestic bowlers whose actions have been questioned by the BCBs review committee. It was the suspensions of Taskin and Sunny that spurred the BCB to take suspect bowling action seriously in domestic cricket, so the garlands and firecrackers shouldnt mark the end of this problem.It was Taskin and Sunny who were given the relief, and before them Abdur Razzak and Sohag Gazi. The rest of the countrys suspected and illegal bowlers would still need to correct their actions, and the BCB must remain vigilant and keep weeding out the suspects.

HOUSTON -- Despite mounting criticism in recent weeks, Brock Osweiler continues to look pretty comfortable in Houston.Osweiler bounced back from an ugly performance by throwing for 186 yards and a touchdown to help the Texans remain perfect at home this season with a 20-13 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday.The Texans (5-3) have lost all of their road games, including a 27-9 loss to Denver on Monday.He had a good day, coach Bill OBrien said. Youre judged as a quarterback by helping your team win and I thought he did a nice job of helping us win.Osweiler has struggled in his first season with the Texans, but has been better at home where hes thrown eight of his nine touchdown passes.Im not concerned about the criticism, Osweiler said. Getting a win at home going into the bye to really put an exclamation mark on the first half of the season means so much to me.On Sunday, he gave the Texans a 7-0 lead on a 6-yard touchdown pass to C.J. Fiedorowicz in the second quarter. The Texans made it 14-0 when Lamar Miller bulled his way into the end zone from a yard out later in the quarter. That score was set up when DeAndre Hopkins used one hand to make a 12-yard reception.Osweiler believes hes starting to find chemistry with his star receiver.Every time I break the huddle, Im looking to see where hes at ... trying to see if I can get him the football, he said.Hopkins finished with four receptions for 44 yards.The Lions (4-4) cut the lead to seven when Theo Riddick connected with Matthew Stafford on a 1-yard touchdown reception early in the fourth quarter.Houston added a field goal after that before a 34-yard field goal by Matt Prater got Detroit back within a score. But Houston recovered an onside kick and ran out the clock to secure the victory.We couldnt put enough points on the board, offensively, in the first half, we were just stagnant, Lions coach Jim Caldwell said. Defensively, we stopped the run until midway through the third quarter and they really took control on the ground. We just didnt play as well as were capable of.Stafford threw for 240 yards and a touchdown forr Detroit, which had a three-game winning streak snapped as the Lions were unable to continue a string of late-game comebacks. Bob Griese Jersey. I wish I could have done it earlier in the game, Stafford said. Ive got to play better and we have to play better as a team, as an offense, earlier in the game so were not in that situation.INJURIES: The Lions were without top cornerback Darius Slay, who missed the game because of a hamstring injury. Houston receiver Jaelen Strong injured his ankle in the second quarter and didnt return. Texans nose tackle Vince Wilfork didnt return after injuring his groin in the third quarter and receiver Will Fuller left the game in the fourth quarter with a leg injury.OBRIENS OUTBURST: Houston coach Bill OBrien was seen yelling at special teams coach Larry Izzo after the Texans had just 10 men on the field for the opening kickoff of the second half. OBrien got in Izzos face and yelled for several seconds before being pushed away by another member of the staff. He turned around for a second and started to walk away before whipping back around and screaming at him for several more seconds.But OBrien denied the incident.I dont know what you guys are talking about, he said. No idea.Then he was asked about being pushed away by a staff member.No, I dont think so, he said. I dont remember that one bit.A second follow-up yielded perhaps the most telling answer of the exchange.Theres conversations that happen on the sideline, he said. Thats just kind of the nature of the game.CLOWNEYS CONTRIBUTIONS: Houston defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, who was the top overall pick in the 2014 draft, sacked Stafford for a 9-yard loss to give him three sacks this season. It was his ninth tackle for a loss this season, which is a career high.UP NEXT:Lions: Detroit visits Minnesota on Sunday.Texans: Houston is off next week before visiting the Jaguars on Nov. 13.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholeslae Jerseys NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Cheap MLB Jerseys Wholesale Soccer JerseysCheap College Jerseys Cheap Football Jerseys Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap Baseball Jerseys ' ' '

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- Jay Haas got the opening he needed Sunday to become the second-oldest winner in PGA Tour Champions history.Haas -- at 62 years, 10 months, 7 days -- took advantage of Bart Bryants closing bogey to get into a playoff and won the Toshiba Classic with a birdie on the first extra hole.Its been a while since Ive been in that position to win, and to pull it off today was awfully special, Haas said.Haas trails only Mike Fetchick, the 1985 Hilton Head Seniors Invitational winner at 63 years to the day, on the age list.Just to win, to know that I can do it again at 62 is pretty amazing, said Haas, also the 2007 winner at Newport Beach Country Club.After opening with bogey-free rounds of 64 and 63 to take a five-stroke lead into the day, Haas found himself a stroke behind Bryant -- two groups ahead playing the reachable 18th -- and facing a 7-foot par putt on the par-3 17th.Im thinking Im either going to be two or three behind, Haas said. When I made that one and then looked up and saw that we were tied, it really gave me a boost.Haas parred the 18th -- missing a 15-footer -- for a 1-under 70 to match Bryant (64) at 16-under 197.Im disappointed right now, Bryant said. To bogey the 18th hole, a reachable par 5, is extremely disappointing. Then to not make a very good run in the playoff is just fairly inexcusable to hit the two shots that I hit.Haas won his 18th title on the 50-and-over tour and first since 2014. He won nine times on the PGA Tour and captained the United States winning Presidents Cup team last year in South Korea.The victory was his first with wife Jan as his caddie.Maybe shell retire on top now, Haas joked.On 18 in regulation, the 53-year-old Bryant hit into the left greenside bunker in two and struck something under the ball in the sand that sent the ball right and long. He three-putted from about 40 feet, missing a 6-footer to the left.When it was going down in the sand, it just didnt go down, it just stopped, Bryant said about the clubhead on the bunker shot. It didnt get underneath the ball, so I kind of caught a little bit the edge of the club where normally you catch that shot in the middle or high on the club. Seth Joyner Jersey. aving said that, theres always rub of the green, theres always things that happen. You have to manage that well and you have to go forward and I didnt recover and thats why I lost the golf tournament.In the playoff, Bryant drove so far left that he was closer to the 10th fairway, then hit over the trees and into a grandstand to the right of the green. Haas hit the fairway, and his second settled on top of light rough, also right of the green. Bryants chip raced across the green and off, and Haas hit his inside a foot to set up the winning birdie.I felt like I needed to make a 4, that he was going to up-and-down from there, or even might chip it in, Haas said. I felt like I needed to make a birdie. I couldnt play conservatively at that point and probably hit the best chip Ive ever hit really under the circumstances.Playing two groups ahead of Haas, Bryant pulled even with a 20-foot birdie putt on the par-4 16th and took the lead with a downhill, breaking 20-footer on the 17. Bryant birdied six of the first 12 holes, hitting inside 5 feet on the last three on Nos. 9, 11 and 12.Haas hit left into the water on the short par-3 fourth en route to a double bogey. He hit a 6-iron to a foot to set up a birdie on No. 8, made a 5-foot birdie putt on 12 and closed with six pars.Larry Mize (65) and Billy Andrade (66) tied for third at 14 under.John Daly, playing alongside Bryant, had an eventful even-par 71 to tie for 19th at 9 under. His scorecard nearly as colorful as his pants, Daly didnt make a par until the eighth hole. He drove the 319-yard first to set up a 10-foot eagle putt, made a 40-footer for birdie on No. 2 and two-putted for birdie on the par-5 third. He made double bogeys on the next two holes, also hitting into the water on No. 4, then birdied No. 6 and bogeyed No. 7. After a string of pars, he closed birdie-bogey-bogey-birdie.Wholeslae Jerseys NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Cheap MLB Jerseys Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Cheap College Jerseys Cheap Football Jerseys Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap Baseball Jerseys ' ' '

The All-Pro lineman got the leg bent under him while trying to make a tackle during the first half of a 22-20 overtime loss at Miami on Thursday night. The medical staff initially thought hed torn the ligament, and the test a day later in Cincinnati confirmed it. RIO DE JANEIRO - Mo Farah joined some of the greats of Olympics distance running as he retained his 10,000 metre title but it was his composure as much as his athletic ability that stood out.The Britons name can now be listed alongside those of Emil Zatopek, Lasse Viren, Haile Gebrselassie and Kenenisa Bekele as the only men to have won the title at successive Games.Yet the way Farah achieved his latest success was all the more remarkable for the fact that he fell early in the race, picked himself up and eventually made his way through the field, surging to the front at the death in his trademark style.He never loses his head, said former training partner Galen Rupp, who finished fifth and took responsibility both for bumping Farah to the ground and helping him recover. In all the times Ive trained with him, he always keeps his composure well.There was a lot of pushing, guys slowing down and people pushing from behind. I didnt want it to effect the race at all. I told him to get behind me and I would lead him back up. Im just grateful he was still able to run his race.Farah admitted he came pretty close to losing his cool and had to play some mind games to stop thinking his race was over and get himself back in the reckoning. No wonder he was, in his own words, mentally tired at the end.What got him through was thinking of his older daughter Rihanna, the promise he made to her that he would bring back a medal, and the reassurance of knowing that he had more than half the race left after going down in the 10th lap.I told myself dont panic, dont panic, he said on Saturday night at the Olympic Stadium after he had recorded another victory that must have sapped a little more spirit from his rivals.I managed to dig deep, Farah said. And how. Kenyan Paul Kipngetich Tanui pushed him so close, finishing a fraction of a second behind the winning time of 27 minutes 5.17 seconds. He also claimed the Somali-born Briton was an inspiration, but could have been forgiven for describing him as an irritatingly impressive obstacle.The 33-year-old who became Britains fiirst track and field athlete to win three Olympic gold medals just never seems to have a bad day. Archie Manning Womens Jersey. t longer distances - half-marathon and marathon - he is at the start of his career and has some work to do. But on the track he must seem almost unbeatable, particularly on nights like this.One of the things that keeps me going is winning medals for my country and making my nation proud, Farah said.I remember 2012 like yesterday and most people have had four years to try to beat me. Its nice to make history and Im going to enjoy it.Asked after the race what made him such a successful athlete, Farah pointed to the way he has learnt what his body can and cant do, and the confidence he has gained from his training endeavours repeatedly paying off.He might just as well have said that he was born with an amazing talent and he has found, more by luck than judgement at first, the right way to hone it for success.Farah wanted to be a soccer player and he is still an enthusiastic fan of Premier League team Arsenal but fortunately for Britain, and the world of track and field, his speed and endurance was spotted early on.The controversy over his Nike Oregon Project coach Alberto Salazar still lurks in the background, with the New York Times having reported in June that the United States Anti-Doping Agency was investigating him.Salazar has emphatically denied any involvement with performance-enhancing drugs and Farah has never been accused of wrongdoing, but the runner was still questioned on the subject after this victory.Beyond saying again that he supports clean sport, which he did in his media conference, Farah can do little more to make the topic go away than keep winning and passing his doping tests.His next chance to shine comes on Saturday in the 5,000m, when he can become only the second man to defend both that and his 10,000m title. You can almost hear his rivals trying to convince themselves he is beatable already.

The sailing regatta at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics will be both filthy and photogenic. Nat Moore Dolphins Jersey .The troubled waters of Guanabara Bay have made news for the wrong reasons, with an independent study by The Associated Press showing high levels of viruses and sometimes bacteria from human sewage. There have also been unsightly buildups of trash.Sailors have tried to downplay the effects of sailing on the dirty water, saying theyre taking precautions and that Rio isnt the only place on the planet with polluted waterways.Still, German sailor Erik Heil was hospitalized in Berlin and underwent surgery to treat inflammation and skin infections after competing in a test event in August.One big improvement so far is at the venue, the new Marina da Gloria, where the water is clearer just months after a new sewage system was installed to stop brown, untreated sludge from being poured into the small harbor.Dirty water aside, sailors rave about Rio as a good place to sail, both on the bay and on ocean courses.This will be one of the rare times sailors have competed in the center of the Olympic action. The Christ the Redeemer statue and Rios round natural features will provide a stunning backdrop. The medals races will be sailed off Flamengo Beach, with the windward mark right under Sugarloaf Mountain.Here are some things to watch for in the Olympic sailing regatta:ITS THE WATER: Some sailors will end up in the water, particularly in the wild 49er class, which is prone to capsizing. You dont want to ingest the water, said New Zealand 49er skipper Peter Burling. Its not that different to what China was eight years ago. Obviously weve taken precautions with all the immunizations. You try to stay out of the water. U.S. sailor Paige Railey of Clearwater, Florida, has made several trips to Rio. She said shes even gone wakeboarding and swimming there, and has eaten fish from the bay. I dont have any fear about the water at all, actually, she said.ANY MEDAL WILL DO: At the 2012 London Games, the United States failed to win a sailing medal for the first time since 1936. Americas best medals bets for Rio are Annie Haeger of East Troy, Wisconsin, and Briana Provancha of San Diego in the womens 470; Stu McNay of Providence, Rhode Island, and Dave Hughes of Miami in the mens 470; and Railey in the Laser Radial. Haeger and Provancha won the gold at the Olympic test event in Rio in August. McNay and Hughes won the gold at the 2015 European Championships. Railey won the gold at the 2015 Pan Am Games. The United States leads the overall medals table with 59, although Britain has 25 golds to the Americans 19.THE STREAK: After winning the silver medal in London, New Zealanders Burling and Blair Tuke won 27 straight regattas, including four straight world championships. Their streak ended in mid-July when they finished third in the South American Championship in Rio. Their trans-Tasman rivals, Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen, the defending Olympic gold medalists, won that regatta, which featured just six races in two-days. The Olympic regatta will be sailed over a week. The Kiwis remain the odds-on gold medal favorites. Its not about the winning streak, Burling said earlier this year. Were not too worried about that. The last four years have been about trying to get a gold medal for New Zealand in Rio. Burling and Tuke (Emirates Team New Zealand) and Outteridge and Jensen (Artemis Racing) also are rivals sin the Americas Cup.THE HEIR APPARENT? The big story in the London Games was British hero Ben Ainslie rallying in the Finn class to win his fourth straight gold medal and fifth Olympic medal overall, making him the most-decorated sailor in games history. With Ainslie having moved on to the Americas Cup, countryman Giles Scott is the man to beat in the Finn, the heavyweight, single-handed dinghy class. Scott has 16 wins in 18 regattas this quadrennial, with two silvers.GOING AND COMING: The venerable Star class was dropped from the Olympic lineup for the first time since 1932. That didnt sit well with Brazilians. Torben Grael won two gold medals and two bronze medals in the Star class, and countryman Robert Scheidt won a silver and a bronze. Graels daughter, Martine, will sail in the womens 49er FX class, which has been added to the Olympic lineup, along with the Nacra 17 multihull. Graels son, Marco, will compete in the 49er class. Scheidt will sail in his sixth Olympics, in the Laser class. Josh Rosen Jersey . It might not have mattered.

SALT LAKE CITY -- Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott has no issue with players protesting during the national anthem long as its done in a respectful way.Athletes across the country have staged a variety of pregame protests after San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began kneeling during the anthem in protest of police violence against African-Americans and minorities.Very much believe in the idea of freedom of speech and individuals right to express themselves, Scott said. Ive also always seen sport as a great platform for positive social change. To the extent that theyre individuals that want to use their celebrity or use the platform to try to send a positive message and make a positive impact on society. I think thats great.Ive seen plenty of examples in my career of tennis players and others doing that. As long as its done in a respectful way, in a way thats not demeaning to other people and not disruptive, I think its absolutely fine.The entire Indiana Fevver team recently knelt during the anthem before a playoff game.

The newfound power of todays athlete comes from monetary wealth, celebrity status and having the vehicle of social media to communicate directly with the masses.

Junior lightweight world titleholder Francisco Vargas will make his second defense when he takes on Mexican countryman Miguel Berchelt on Jan. Drew Bledsoe Womens Jersey . 28 at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, California, Golden Boy Promotions announced Friday.The fight, which figures to provide intense fireworks, will headline the 2017 debut of HBOs Boxing After Dark. The card will include another potentially action-packed, 12-round junior lightweight fight between former world titleholder Takashi Miura and Miguel Mickey Roman.Fans love knockouts, and these four guys have 110 KOs among the four of them, Golden Boy CEO Oscar De La Hoya said in a news release. We are excited to open our 2017 HBO year showcasing the kind of action-packed fights that will get people up and out of their seats from start to finish.Vargas, 31, has made a habit of doing just that. He is coming off back-to-back epic slugfests. In November 2015, he made a dramatic comeback to knock out Miura in the ninth round to win a 130-pound world title belt in a bout that was hailed as the fight of the year.In June, Vargas made his first defense and slugged his way to a majority draw with former titleholder Orlando Salido in the leading contender for 2016 fight of the year honors. Vargas suffered severe cuts in the bout against Salido and required surgery, which is why he sat out the second half of this year.But Vargas (23-0-2, 17 KOs) is healed and ready to go at it again.Boxing fans know what to expect every time I step in to the ring -- and that is a war, Vargas said in the news release. I am aware of my opponents knockout power, but hes never faced a true world champion, and I am confident I will come out on top.The 25-year-old Berchelt (30-1, 27 KOs) holds an interim belt but has faced limited competition.Im going to shock the boxing world on Jan. 28, Berchelt said. This is the opportunity I have been looking forward to.Golden Boy Promotions president Eric Gomez told ESPN that the company plans to match the winners of the bouts with each other, meaning there is a reasonable chance for a Vargas-Miura rematch.We want the winners to fight each other and its very likely the WBC will order the winners to fight in a mandatory fight anyway, Gomez said. We want to make the best fights, so this card is a win-win and its even better if we can match the winners.Japans Miura (30-3-2, 23 KOs), 32, had been scheduled to fight Salido on Dec. 17, but the fight was canceled when Salido suffered a back injury. Now Miura faces the tough-as-nails Roman (56-11, 43 KOs), 31, of Mexico.I am excited to return to the United States and fight in such an exciting bout with Mickey Roman, Miura said in Fridays news release. I was very disappointed when I lost to Vargas, but I have rededicated myself and am excited to begin my journey towards winning back my title.Miura made four successful defenses of his junior lightweight title before losing it to Vargas. He has fought once since, scoring a first-round knockout of novice opponent Jimmy Borbon in May.Roman has twice fought for world titles, losing a unanimous decision to Jonathan Victor Barros for a featherweight belt in 2011 and getting knocked out by Antonio DeMarco in the fifth round of a lightweight world title match in 2012. But Roman is riding an 18-fight winning streak since 2012.I am performing better than ever in my career, and I am looking forward to showing my skills against Miura, Roman said. My goal has always been to be a world champion and I am hopeful that after I win this fight, I can get another title shot.Gomez, an astute matchmaker, believes both fights will produce action.Berchelt is a tough kid, a big puncher with a great record and he will pressure Vargas and try to take the title away from him, he told ESPN. Vargas is coming off back-to-back wars and wont let up. Hes fighting a hungry young lion. But Vargas wants to keep proving he belongs with [titleholder Vasyl] Lomachenko and the other top fighters in the division.As for Miura-Roman, Gomez added, I love the matchup because of the styles. Its a train wreck. Roman just keeps coming and coming at his opponent and Miura -- what can I say? Always action and still one of the top 130-pound fighters in the world. John Hannah Womens Jersey .

The Austrian failed to serve out the match at 5-2 but broke Knapp immediately afterward when the Italian ended the match with two double faults. "I didnt play spectacular tennis, I just tried to be consistent," said Meusburger, who hasnt dropped a set in the tournament. "I kept the ball in play and waited for her mistakes. These tactics have paid off." In a match that included 20 breaks of serve, Hlavackova got treatment for a right ankle injury toward the end of the opening set. She came from 4-1 down to take the second into a tiebreaker before breaking Svitolinas serve three more times in the decider.
