Roy Krishna has continued his stellar A-League form to inspire Wellington to a dominant 2-0 win over a flat Central Coast in Canberra. http://www.redskinsrookiestore.com/Customized/ .Krishna showed off his signature speed in the 49th minute on Saturday to net his fourth goal in three games before putting one on a platter for teammate Hamish Watson soon after.The Phoenix overcame the loss of five international players to record back-to-back wins for the first time in 13 months, and their first road victory for the campaign.The visitors took advantage of the free flowing affair in the Mariners home for the night in Canberra, firing off seven shots on target compared to just two for the hosts.Wellington coach Ernie Merrick described his attacking trio of Krishna, Watson and Roly Bonevacia as first class but was just as proud of his inexperienced line-up.Hamish did really well. Roy was on fire upfront and his pace is incredible. We knew that, so wed set up for a counter attacking game, Merrick said.Our defence though, that was where the real inexperience was. Lui Italiano, that was his second game. Ryan Lowry, thats his first A-League game.Jacob Tratts only played six and the left back hasnt played left back very often, Mark Ridenton. So with an experienced line-up at the back, we had to make sure we were very compact and we relied on fastbreaking and I thought Roy, Hamish and Roly were first class.Wellington started underdogs in front of the 5497 at GIO Stadium, having lost regular first-teamers to New Zealand duty, including Kosta Barbarouses, Glen Moss and Andrew Durante.But they made a mockery of having an understrength unit against a loose Mariners defence that struggled to contain the Phoenixs speed and wizardry in the front third.Central Coast goalkeeper Paul Izzo had his hands full from start to finish, pulling off three classy saves in the opening 15 minutes, and watched a set piece crash against his posts.Left back Scott Galloway also succumbed to a first-half hamstring strain.The home side werent without their own opportunities, with Fabio Ferreira twice cannoning free kicks into a wall before halftime, and Roy ODonovan spurning a decent chance just after.However, Wellington were in control for most of the match and edged ahead when Krishna flew onto a long ball from Watson, took a touch past an advancing Izzo and finished acutely.The 29-year-old then returned the favour to Watson seven minutes later, latching onto a Finkler through-ball and teeing up a goal into an open net.It was probably the worst performance so far this season, certainly that first half, Mariners coach Paul Okon said.If its one from six, you cop it on the chin, move forward and you try to make sure it doesnt happen. But tonight wasnt the level we expect and it needs to be better next week.http://www.redskinsrookiestore.com/Redskins-Terrelle-Pryor-Jersey/ .ca NHL Power Rankings for the second straight week, ahead of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Colorado Avalanche. http://www.redskinsrookiestore.com/Redskins-Terrell-Mcclain-Jersey/ .

LONDON -- Arsenal strengthened its squad by signing striker Lucas Perez from Deportivo La Coruna and Germany defender Shkodran Mustafi from Valencia on the next-to-last day of Europes transfer window on Tuesday.England goalkeeper Joe Harts departure from Manchester City looked to move closer after he appeared with a Torino shirt after visiting the Italian club.Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been trying to buy a striker since the end of last season, only to see bids for Leicesters Jamie Vardy and Lyons Alexandre Lacazette get rejected. With time running out to add to his squad, Wenger settled on the 27-year-old Lucas -- a scorer of 17 goals last season.Hes not only a goal scorer, hes a guy who combines well with partners, who can give a final ball and makes good runs, Wenger said. Hes got a good eye for goal and had an outstanding season last year.British media reported Lucas will cost Arsenal about 17 million pounds ($22.3 million).Within hours, Arsenal had also re-shuffled its defensive options by signing center half Mustafi for a reported fee of 35 million pounds ($45.7 million), and sending Calum Chambers on loan to promoted Premier League club Middlesbrough.The 24-year-old Mustafi, who will join up with fellow Germany international Mesut Ozil at Arsenal, came through the Everton academy before going on to join Sampdoria and then spending the last two seasons at Valencia.Mustafi became Wenggers third high-profile signing for the new season, having brought in Switzerlands defensive midfielder Granit Xhaka from Borussia Moenchengladbach in May. http://www.redskinsrookiestore.com/Redskins-Junior-Galette-Jersey/. .Hart was on the verge of leaving Man City on loan, having landed in Italy to tie up a move to Torino for the remainder of the season. He has slipped to third-choice goalkeeper at City, behind new signing Claudio Bravo and Willy Caballero.The 29-year-old was greeted by around 200 fans loudly chanting his name at Torinos headquarters, and there were further cheers and applause when he appeared at the window brandishing a club jersey with his name on the back.Hart was given permission to leave the England camp to seal the move.Back in London, Chelsea loaned France striker Loic Remy to Crystal Palace for the rest of the season.Hull signed three players: England midfielder Ryan Mason from Tottenham for an undisclosed club-record fee, Scotland goalkeeper David Marshall from second-tier team Cardiff, and striker Will Keane from Manchester United.Sunderland sent Netherlands midfielder Jeremain Lens on loan to Turkish club Fenerbahce for the rest of the season, a year after signing him for 8 million pounds ($10.5 million) from Dynamo Kiev.

Canada is now down to its 22-player limit, although but players wont be registered until Christmas Day. Changes could still be made as a result of a suspension or injury. OAKVILLE, Ontario -- Jared du Toit was in position to become the first Canadian to win the Canadian Open in 62 years -- and the first amateur to break through on the PGA Tour in 25 seasons.Brandt Snedeker was in a little better position. U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson was right there, too.I think Im going to be the most-hated man in Canada tomorrow, but its going to be a lot of fun trying to figure it out, said Snedeker, the 2013 winner at Glen Abbey who eagled the par-5 18th on Saturday for a 6-under 66 and a one-stroke lead over du Toit and Johnson.Du Toit matched Snedeker with an eagle on 18, holing a 40-footer for a 70. The Arizona State senior is from Kimberley, British Columbia.Pat Fletcher, born in England, was the last Canadian winner in 1954 at Point Grey in Vancouver, British Columbia. Carl Keffer is the only Canadian-born champion, winning in 1909 and 1914. Albert Murray, a Canadian also born in England, won in 1908 and 1913.Doug Sanders was the last amateur to win the event in 1956, and Phil Mickelson was the last amateur winner on the tour in the 1991 Northern Telecom Open.Snedeker overpowered the 18th, hitting a 378-yard drive and 121-yard approach to set up the 6-footer. The 35-year-old American won in February at Torrey Pines for his eighth PGA Tour title.Johnson, tied for the lead with Luke List after each of the first two days, birdied 18 for a 71.UL INTERNATIONAL CROWNGURNEE, Ill. -- Charley Hull and surprising England grabbed the lead in the UL International Crown, and the United States advanced with a sweep against Japan.Hull, who missed the four-ball session Friday with a fever and trouble with her asthma, teamed with Melissa Reid for a 3-and-1 victory over sisters Ariya and Moriya Jutanugarn of Thailand. Holly Clyburn and Jodi Ewart Shadoff routed Pornanong Phatlum and Porani Chutichai 7 and 5, helping seventh-seeded England to a Pool B-best nine points.The U.S., which began the day with just three points, turned in its best performance so far in the rare team event on the LPGA Tour. Lexi Thompson and Cristie Kerr posted their second straight win with a 4-and-2 victory over Ai Suzuki and Ayaka Watanabe, and Stacy Lewis and Gerina Piller surged to a 3-and-1 win over Haru Nomara and Mika Miyazato.Taiwan also wrapped up a spot in the fourth session before a storm delayed play for the day with two Pool A matches still on the course, leaving two spots open for Sundays 10 singles matches. The country with the most points at the end of the weekend wins a silver trophy.SENIOR BRITISH OPENCARNOUSTIE, Scotland -- Miguel Angel Jimenez opened a four-stroke lead in the Senior British Open, shooting a 7-under 65 in mild conditions to fall one short of matching the Carnoustie Golf Links record.The 52-year-old Spaniard had a bogey-free round in wind at 6-12 mph on the mostly cloudy afternoon. He had an 11-under 205 total after opening 70-70, putting him in position for his first major title. Aaron Gordon Jersey.

Lee became the first Australian winner and combined with older sister Minjee to become the first brother-sister tandem to win USGA junior championships. Minjee Lee won the 2012 U.S. Girls Junior, and is a two-time LPGA Tour winner.On the par-5 35th hole, Goodwin found the green with his second, while Lees approach came up just short in a grass bunker. Goodwins long downhill eagle try rolled 9 feet by the hole. Lee followed with a flop shot that stopped 3 1/2 feet from the hole. Goodwin pulled his par putt and, as Lee was lining up the potential winning putt, the USGA blew the horn because of inclement weather. After the delay, Lee converted the birdie putt.U.S. GIRLS JUNIORPARAMUS, N.J. -- Eun Jeong Seong rallied to beat Andrea Lee 4 and 2 in the U.S. Girls Junior to become the first player to successfully defend the title since Hollis Stacy in 1971.The 16-year-old South Korean overcame an early five-hole deficit to join Stacy (1969, `70, `71), Judy Eller (1957 and `58) and Nancy Lopez (1972 and `74) as the only multiple winners.The 17-year-old Lee, from Hermosa Beach, California, will be a freshman at Stanford this fall.On the par-5 30th, faced with an uphill, almost-blind third shot from the left edge of the fairway, Seong hit a 60-degree wedge from 42 yards that hit the flagstick and dropped in for eagle and a 2-up lead.They halved the par-5 31st with birdies, Seong won the par-4 32nd with a par and closed the match with a 40-foot birdie putt on the par-4 34th.AMERICAN CENTURY CHAMPIONSHIPSTATELINE, Nev. -- Former tennis player Mardy Fish had a 28-point round to take a two-point lead over actor Jack Wagner in the American Century Championship celebrity tournament.Fish shot a 3-under 69, making seven birdies and four bogeys at Edgewood Tahoe to reach 50 points in the modified Stableford event.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Declaring that the global drug-testing system is damaged, Olympic leaders and anti-doping officials vowed Tuesday to fix the problems and prevent the type of scandal that has embroiled Russian athletes in the lead-up to the games in Rio de Janeiro. Aaron Dell Jersey .The IOC and the World Anti-Doping Agency clashed again Tuesday over the allegations of state-sponsored doping in Russia that have rattled the Olympic movement and created chaos ahead of Fridays opening ceremony in Rio.But both sides agreed on one thing -- the need to repair the international anti-doping system and restore trust and credibility in the fight against drugs.This is not about destroying structures, IOC President Thomas Bach said, referring to WADA. This is about improving significantly a system in order to have a robust and efficient anti-doping system so that such a situation that we face now cannot happen again.Bach spoke after a debate in which International Olympic Committee members overwhelmingly backed the executive boards decision not to take the nuclear option of banning Russias entire Olympic team. Bach and many members pointed fingers at WADA for failing to act sooner on evidence of state-run doping in Russia and for releasing its findings so close to the start of the games.I dont feel as if Ive been run under a bus, WADA chief Craig Reedie told reporters, insisting that both sides were in general accord on the need to find solutions for the future.Somebody said this system is broken, he said. I dont think all the system is broken. i think quite a lot of the system still works, but that certain parts of the system need revision.Reedie said he had received assurances from officials at high levels of the Russia government that they accept they have a problem and need to fix it.It is absolutely essential that we cannot have the biggest country in the world non-compliant on a permanent basis, he said.Bach opened the IOCs three-day general assembly by seeking formal backing for the boards decisions on the Russian crisis. After a debate lasting more than two hours, Bach asked for a show of hands, and only one of the 85 members -- Britains Adam Pengilly -- voted against his position.Despite evidence of a vast state-organized program involving Olympic sports in Russia, the IOC board rejected calls for a total ban and left it to international sports federations to decide on the entry of individual Russian athletes for the games.Bach said it would be wrong to make individual Russian athletes collateral damage for the wrongdoing of their government.Leaving aside that such a comparison is completely out of any proportion when it comes to the rules of sport, let us just for a moment consider the consequences of a `nuclear option, Bach said. The result is death and devastation. This is not what the Olympic Movement stands for. The cynical `collateral damage approach is not what the Olympic movement stands for.The IOC has been roundly criticized by many anti-doping bodies, athletes groups and Western media for not applying a complete ban on the Russian team. Pressure for a full ban grew after WADA investigator Richard McLaren issued a report accusing Russias sports ministry of orchestrating doping program and cover-ups involving athletes across more than two dozen summer and winter Olympic sports.Natural justice does not allow us to deprive a human being of the right to prove their innocence, Bach said.Underlying the deep split between Olympic leaders and anti-doping officials, Bach and others put the responsibility on WADA.I think its not the reputation of the IOC that has to be restored, its the reputation of WADA, Israeli member Alex Gilady said.Argentine member Gerardo Werthein added: At times WADA has seemed to be more interested in publicity and self-promotion rather than doing its job as a regulator.Reedie said he spoke later with both men and addressed their concerns.IOC spokesman Mark Adams said Reedies positon was not compromised by the debate.We dont always agree on everything, he said. It wasnt a totally one-sided debate. We aired a lot of issues.Russian Olympic Committee President Alexander Zhukov claimed there was a political campaign against Russia and cited discrimination against clean athletes not connected to doping.I urge you to resist this unprecedented pressure that is now on the entire Olympic movement and not to let this pressure to split the entire Olympic family, he said.U.S. member Larry Probst said it was wrong to attribute the problem to international politics.We have a doping problem, the U.S. Olympic Committee chairman said. And its not just Russia, its global. The current system is broken and we need to fix the problem.A few members did question the IOC decision to keep Russian whistleblower Yulia Stepanova -- an 800-meter runner who helped expose systematic doping in her homeland -- out of the games.If there was to be one exception, it should have been her, Richard Peterkin of St. Lucia said.The strongest criticism came from Canadian member Dick Pound, a former president of WADA who has been outspoken in calling for a complete ban on Russia -- something he had previously called the nuclear option. He said the reputation of the IOC was on the line.We need to do a lot more to show that we really do care about fair play, honest competition and clean athletes, he said.By the end, however, Pound was among the 84 members who voted in favor.The arrows left the bow, he said. The decision has been made, its not going to be changed between now and the start of the games.---AP Sports Writer Stephen Wade contributed to this report.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts made a choice. Cheap Juventus Jersey .Rather than take their bye week immediately after playing in London, like every other team has done, they delayed it.Turns out, it was a perfectly timed win-win. First, the Colts beat the Chicago Bears seven days after returning from their European excursion and now they head into their weekend off following a crucial win at Green Bay. They couldnt have plotted it any better.We need to build on that (win) now, Andrew Luck said. I think this week comes at a perfect time to self-evaluate and to see football-wise, tactically, and technique-wise maybe why it hasnt been as good as you want it to be.Certainly, this has not been the season the Colts envisioned. At 4-5, they still havent won back-to-back games. They trail defending AFC South champion Houston by 1+ games.They relied on a makeshift secondary to get through September, and a makeshift offensive line to survive October, perhaps paying a price for their patience. While Luck has been sacked a league-high 33 times and is on pace to go down almost 60 times this season, the short-handed defense is ranked No. 29 overall.Its been even tougher than it looks.Indys first three wins all came courtesy of fourth-quarter comebacks, and Sundays by staving off the Packers late rally.Luck spent the first half of the season getting acclimated to a new offensive line and a new offensive coordinator while the defense tried to learn the new system installed by first-time defensive coordinator Ted Monachino.Coach Chuck Pagano heard critics complain about slow starts, poor decisions, a torrent of penalties and a continual barrage of mistakes. Some even questioned whether Pagano should be fired during the bye week.Yet his message never wavered. He implored players to buckle down, clean things up and stick to the plan. He even sent them home with a friendly reminder to come back ready to work.For us to not build on this, for us not to do the right thing and not stay in our iPads and go work out and do the things necessary over the next four or five days that need to be done and not take advantage of this (win), then shame on us, Pagano said. Thats on all of us.Whether that offseason decision to push back the bye was shrewd planning or just dumb luck, things have worked out.As Luck and his teammates spoke to reporters, there was a noticeable change. They looked relaxed, happy and eager to start what they hope will be a more enjoyable final seven weeks.That was probably the most fun I had in my whole career, that game right there, Pro Bowl receiver T.Y. Hilton said, referring to Sundays victory. Just to be able to play at full strength and have that many weapons, it makes my job easier, it makes their job easier, and especially Andrews (job).The one looming question is timing. Pagano acknowledged that even in the locker room, there were players who wanted to build off the momentum from Sunday and keep playing.Savvy veterans such as 35-year-old outside linebacker Robert Mathis want to see the Colts do that, too, after some badly needed rest.We need the break. Ill leave it at that, Mathis said with a laugh.The schedule wont be forgiving, either. They play two home games in five days in Thanksgiving week before hitting the road for three of the next four games.If they intend to chase down Houston and capture their third division title in four years and return to the playoffs, the Colts cant afford to take another break. They need to come back rested, ready and healthy enough to turn their late bye week into an advantage that will help them during the closing flurry.Yes, 100 percent, Luck said about stringing together some wins. And the goal is for us to look back and this (victory) to not be the biggest win of the year. This wont be the highlight of the year.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Mattia De Sciglio Jersey .

In November 1962 one of crickets lingering anachronisms was finally abolished when the distinction between amateurs and professionals was officially scrapped. While of significance until World War Two - until the growth of Test cricket, outside an Ashes summer the highlight were the Gentlemen v Players matches - it all but fell apart in the social upheaval that followed.The splitting of players into two distinct groups was a fundamental part of the game. In its simplest form, professionals were paid, amateurs (widely known as gentlemen) were not. Within that the British class system was prevalent. Almost all amateurs were public school or at least middle-class; the professionals were generally working-class. Even then there were professionals who made a living from the game and those who were professional because they could not afford to me amateurs.Professionals were often treated much as servants would be and were expected to be as deferential to amateurs and committeemen as a butler would be to the master of the house. They had separate hotels when they travelled, separate changing rooms and food at the grounds, referred to by their surnames only, and at most counties could never aspire to captaincy. Even scorecards made a small but marked distinction - amateurs were given full initials, professionals surname only.Perhaps the way captaincy was handled was the most ridiculous aspect of it all. Professionals were deemed unable to take on such a role and so often found themselves playing under amateur captains who were barely of club standard. Counties often scratched round to find someone - anyone - willing to take charge. Some were so poor that they did little more than stand on the field while the senior professionals ran the show.The lines between the two were always murky - WG Grace, technically an amateur, earned more from the game than even the top professionals - and caused deep resentment. After World War One fewer people had the time or money to play for the fun of it and so the lines became ever more blurred. Some were often found work by counties and given under-the-counter payments to allow them to remain amateur - or shamateurs as they were widely known - making the distinction even more meaningless.In 1938 Wally Hammond had to switch from being a professional to a gentleman to allow him to become England captain. He was the same man, the same cricketer, but overnight he became acceptable in the eyes of the establishment. Even when Len Hutton became Englands first professional captain in 1952 it was only after he refused to go down the same route as Hammond. The mood of the country after World War Two was one of change and in 1946 Glamorgan proposed the abolition of the amateur but they found little support.By the late 1950s the distinction had long lost any credibility and amateurs were all but extinct. One by one the distinctions - dressing rooms, initials on scorecards, accommodation - were chipped away but the old guard refused to go down without a fight. Several committees reported it was time to treat everyone as simply cricketers but it was not until May 1962 the Advisory County Committee put forward a proposal to scrap amateur status.To distinguish between them is often humbug, reported the Times. That did not stop the same newspaper still refusing to print initials for anyone other than the so-called amateurs in the first matches on the 1962-63 MCC tour of Australia. At the start of the MCC tour of Australia the ccaptain, Ted Dexter, nominally still an amateur, admitted he earned considerably more from cricket than his various business ventures. Douglas Costa Jersey. The debate rumbled on all summer but even those who fought the change seemed to realise they were railing against the dying of the light. The curtain came down at Scarborough when fittingly the Players beat the Gentlemen in the final match of the summer. It was the 274th meeting of the teams in a contest dating back to 1806.On November 26 the 17 first-class counties met at Lords and after a six-hour meeting voted - although not unanimously - to end the distinction. The formal and official scrapping of amateur status came on January 31, 1963 when the MCC confirmed without dissent the earlier decision.Its a sad day and signals the end of an era, said Sir Jack Hobbs, the first professional to be knighted for services to the game. They were a great asset because they could freely whereas many professionals felt they couldnt take chances.In the Daily Telegraph EW Swanton lamented the change and questioned the moral authority of those making the decision.Those views were in a minority. in the same paper Michael Melford countered all that had been abolished was a form of legalised deceit. And Herbert Sutcliffe, who as a professional had turned down an at-the-time remarkable approach to captain the ultra-conservative Yorkshire in 1927, said he was in full agreement. Stuart Surridge, who as an amateur had led Surrey to seven successive Championships in the 1950s, said its a good thing … we are all cricketers at heart.Vic Wilson, who led Yorkshire to the Championship in 1962, said: A team is one body of men … it is commonsense to out all players on one footing.In a lead editorial the Daily Mirror congratulated the lawmakers … this silly social distinction needed hitting for six and could not resist a swipe at the Times into the bargain. Perhaps now this olde-world journal will print the initials of all MCC players … or is that expecting too much? As with many such long-debated changes there was actually little fallout. The Gentlemen v Players game disappeared off the fixture list but was largely unmourned. Several counties who had steadfastly refused to pick a professional captain were freed to choose the best man with a clear conscience.On February 14 Surrey picked their first non-amateur captain in Micky Stewart, ten years at the club but until then ineligible for the role. He said: It was a farce that an amateur could receive money for putting his name to sports equipment and writing articles without it affecting his status.Ken Grieves, who took charge at Lancashire that same summer, was even blunter. This cuts out the snobbery, he said. In the past a lot of things have been pushed aside for the old school tie.What happened next?Former England spinner Phil Edmonds asked to play as an amateur in 1988 as his business ventures meant he couldnt afford the time to commit to full-time cricket. You decide which games you want me to play, and Ill play, for nothing, he said according to the Daily Telegraph and he even began signing autographs Mr P H Edmonds. His offer was refused by the committee and he retiredIn 2010 a match between Gentlemen and Players was staged at Wormsley, with the Gentlemen recording their first win since 1953.

MIDDLESBROUGH, England -- Chelsea moved to the top of the English Premier League on Sunday after a first-half strike by Diego Costa earned the visitors a convincing 1-0 victory at Middlesbrough. Glenn Hubbard Jersey .Chelsea dominated the game and was rewarded for its unrelenting pressure when Costa scored four minutes before the break, reacting quickest to a loose ball after a goalmouth melee and firing home from close range. It was his 10th goal of the season.Middlesbrough showed more ambition in the second half but the next clear chance also fell to Chelsea, shortly after the hour mark, when defender David Luiz pushed forward and sent a high cross into the area. Costa headed the ball back invitingly for Pedro Rodr?guez -- but his first-time shot slammed against the crossbar.After six consecutive league wins without conceding a goal, Chelsea now has 28 points from 12 games in Antonio Contes first season in charge.Liverpool and Manchester City have 27 points each, with Arsenal in fourth with 25.

MONZA, Italy -- Lewis Hamilton topped the third and final practice session for the Italian Grand Prix with a healthy 0.4s advantage over Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg.The Mercedes drivers also exchanged quickest times in Fridays two practice sessions and on Saturday morning looked like they were on another planet at F1s most power-dependent circuit. Hamiltons session-leading 1:22.008 was nearly a full second clear of Sebastian Vettels Ferrari in third place. Kimi Raikkonen finished fourth as Ferrari appeared to hold its Friday advantage over Red Bull.Williams drivers Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa took the next two spots after showing their usual Saturday morning improvement. The team will be hoping to carry that form over into qualifying as it looks to overhaul Force India in the battle for fourth. Daniel Ricciardo finished seventh for Red Bull, 1.7s off the lead and half a second off the nearest Ferrari.Max Verstappen finished eighth and continued to be at the center of incidents, blocking Rosberg at the Roggia chicane early on.

BARCELONA, Spain -- Barcelona has drawn widespread criticism for its campaign to support Lionel Messi after a court found the Argentine forward and his father guilty of tax fraud.Barcelona launched its social media campaign following last weeks court verdict that found Messi and his father guilty of defrauding the Spanish state of 4.1 million euros ($4.6 million). Neither man is expected to go to jail despite being sentenced to 21 months in prison because courts in Spain often suspend sentences under two years for first-time offenders.The slogan We Are All Leo Messi is a play on the public awareness campaign by Spains tax authorities We Are All The Tax Office. That is meant to encourage people to pay their due in a country still struggling to recover from an economic recession that has left unemployment at more than 20 percent.The campaign invites all of Barcelonas fans to show the best player in the world their unconditional support, Barcelona said. We want to transmit to Leo that he isnt alone.The club also posted a video of several dozen of its employees gathered together with hands raised in a show of support for Messi.Widely panned in Spanish newspapers and online, Barcelonas campaign has earned a rebuke from Spains government.I am not Leo Messi. I havent committed a fiscal crime, acting Justice Minister Rafael Catala said Thursday.The president of Spains Higher Sports Council, the countrys leading sports authority, has also blasted the league champions for their rally call.If the campaign intends to make a complaint of some type against the judicial ruling, then it is completely incorrect, council president Miguel Cardenal said. We have to respect and honor the (courts) decision. You cant have campaigns of this type in order to disagree with a court ruling.A workers union that represents Spanish tax inspectors has asked Barcelona to end the campaign, calling it irresponsible.The best thing for the club and the player would have been to accept the ruling and move on, said Carlos Cruzado, the president of the union Gestha. But this campaign . is destroyying the educational work that must be carried out to make citizens conscientious (of their fiscal responsibilities. Mattia Perin Jersey. )Messi and his father deny any wrongdoing and have said they will appeal the verdict to a higher court in Madrid.While his club has launched its campaign to back him, photos of Messi spending his vacation on a yacht have appeared this week in Spanish newspapers. Those photos of Messi soaking up the sun in a bathing suit have spawned several jokes on social media about how he must be suffering.The spokesman for Barcelonas board of directors, Josep Vives, has defended both Messi and the clubs campaign.In similar cases, we havent seen attacks like those Leo Messi is receiving, Vives said. Its obvious that we cant tolerate this derision of our player.We have found ourselves in a controversy because it appears that FC Barcelona is defending tax fraud. What we are defending is a person that is being treated unjustly.Besides his club, the Spanish leagues president has also said he believes Messi is innocent.I hope that the Supreme Court revokes the ruling because Messi is not a delinquent and shouldnt be found guilty, league president Javier Tebas said. I have interpreted the campaign as meaning that Messi shouldnt worry, and so he knows that his club is with him.Messi is not the only player to have gotten into trouble over taxes.Also this year, Barcelona midfielder Javier Mascherno was handed a suspended one-year sentence for tax fraud; teammate Adriano is being investigated for allegedly not paying all he owes; and former Real Madrid player Xabi Alonso has been accused of tax fraud. Alonso and Adriano deny any wrongdoing.In June, Barcelona paid a fine of 5.5 million euros ($6.21 million) to settle a case brought against the club by Spains tax authorities regarding the signing of Brazil striker Neymar. In that agreement, the club acknowledged it had made an error in the fiscal planning of the players transfer.

P.A. Parenteau scored early in the third period to help the Avs edge Toronto 2-1 on Tuesday night. Cory Sarich also scored for Colorado (3-0-0), which is off to its best ever start. MINNEAPOLIS -- Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts were left for dead after a deflating home loss to the Houston Texans last week.Slicing and dicing one of the leagues best defenses on the road breathed some life right back into them.Luck threw for 250 yards and two touchdowns and the Colts rolled to a 34-6 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.Robert Turbin rushed for two touchdowns, Mike Adams forced a fumble and added an interception for the Colts (7-7).Frank Gore rushed for 101 yards and Indianapolis won on the road for the fourth time this season in surprisingly easy fashion over the leagues second-ranked defense.We understood where we were, that we needed to come out and win and thats our job as professionals, Luck said. Its a duty to each other and we managed to do that.Adrian Peterson had just 22 yards on six carries and lost a fumble in his first game back from a knee injury for the Vikings (7-7).The Vikings entered the game believing they needed to win the final three games of the season to make the playoffs. Sam Bradford threw for 291 yards with one interception and one lost fumble for Minnesota.After a critical home loss to Houston last week, the Colts entered the week trailing the Texans and Titans in the AFC South and facing a daunting road matchup against coach Mike Zimmers defense.The Vikings ranked second in the NFL in yards and points allowed and had made star quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers, Cam Newton, Eli Manning and Matthew Stafford look ordinary with their relentless, attacking scheme.But Luck completed 21 of 28 passes and was barely touched all afternoon, hitting Erik Swoope for a 27-yard touchdown in the second quarter that gave the Colts a 17-0 lead.The big play seemed to sap some of the Vikings spirit on defense, a rarity in Zimmers three seasons at the helm.They showed little fight on Turbins second TD run of the game, a pin-balling 6-yard score in which he bounced off two attempted tackles by Everson Griffen and ran through half-hearted attempts from Brian Robison and Captain Munnerlyn that made it 24-0 just before halftime.I want to find out who is going to fight, Zimmer said. That was not a fighting performance there. They were more physical than us today. They played with more tenacity than we did. Thats usuually not how it goes. Jason Hammel Jersey. So well find out.Luck capped the day with an easy 50-yard strike to Phillip Dorsett.It was hard for us, Gore said of the Texans defeat. We know what we got. We put ourselves in a hole. We know when our backs are against the wall, we come back and just show that.PETERSONS RETURNThe Vikings star running back missed the previous 11 games while recovering from a torn meniscus in his right knee, but was able to return to the field one week sooner than he expected .His fumble in Colts territory in the second quarter came after his only decent run of the day, a 13-yard burst.Disappointment, especially with the fumble at a critical point, down 17 at that time, Peterson said. Entering into the red zone and to give up that fumble really killed the momentum. It was rough.GORES MILESTONESGore had 115 yards from scrimmage to give him 16,332 for his career, surpassing Tony Dorsett for 10th on the NFLs career list. He also passed John Riggins for 12th on the leagues career carries list.It was the 33-year-olds second 100-yard game of the season, and just the third time a Colts running back has topped 100 yards in Lucks 68 games.FIRST-HALF DOMINANCEThe Colts never gave the Vikings a chance to get into this one, thoroughly dominating the first two quarters. They outgained Minnesota 281-69, had 21 first downs to the Vikings two and held the ball for 23 minutes and 32 seconds to take a 27-0 lead at the half.INJURIESColts: LB Chris Carter left the game in the first half with a shoulder injury and did not return.Vikings: WR Adam Thielen left the game with a neck injury after a big hit from Darius Butler. ...

It is Aug. Derick Brassard Jersey . 25 -- just 90 seconds into a preseason game in Seattle -- and Tony Romo has lost his job.He doesnt know this, of course. No one does. The crunching hit by Cliff Avril that cracked Romos back and forced him out of that game looked bad, but neither Romo nor the Dallas Cowboys thought it would cost him time. He asked back in, and the next day, the stories out of Dallas all said hed avoided a scare. The story of the night was the preseason debut of first-round running back Ezekiel Elliott, who had 48 yards on seven carries after missing a bunch of practices with a hamstring injury. A few people noted how good fourth-round rookie Dak Prescott looked in relief of Romo.I was ready to go, Prescott said, simply, after hitting 17 of 23 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown that night. While no one expected it to matter right away, that readiness did not go unnoticed.Thats all he had to show, for me, one Cowboys official said nearly two months later, with the phenomenon in full flower. He had to go into that game, without any warmup, against the best defense in the league, that was playing its starters, and he was just -- like it was nothing. He was ready. Whatever we needed him to do, he was ready for it.That was said in retrospect, though. In the days that followed this particular preseason game, Cowboys coaches talked of Prescott as a project. One said Romos injury would offer a rare chance for a rookie to get first-team reps. They believed the system in which Prescott played at Mississippi State would translate well in the pros, and they were starting to convince themselves they might be able to get by with him as Romos primary backup, though Kellen Moore was still in the picture and the plan for Prescott was education, not expectation.Just getting him that exposure right now is huge, one Cowboys coach said in that final week of August, before they knew the severity of Romos back injury. It gives you a good feeling about whats to come.There was a bad feeling in the organization -- that Romo was hurt again, and that the story of Romo from this point forward would be the need to always worry that the next hit could get him hurt again. They werent talking about life after Romo in late August, but they were thinking about it. And Prescott was already nibbling at the corner of that picture.It is Sept. 19, and for the very first time, owner Jerry Jones gets the question.Its the morning after Dallas first win, a 27-23 escape from Washington, a game the Cowboys entered as the underdog. Prescott was close to perfect, with an 88.2 QBR and a passer rating of 103.8, and people inside and outside of Dallas were getting surprisingly excited. This is Daks team now was uttered into many radio microphones, and the phrase scrolled across a lot of TV screens. At this time, the Cowboys still think its a cute idea and nothing more.I think Dak said it best, Jones told local radio hosts. Its Tonys team. Tony has the experience and he has just the ability to make us a better team, so thats the only way you look at it right now.And later: Boy, I dont even want to go there, really, because its a great place to be, to have someone of Tony Romos stature that could be playing for several years, and then have Dak Prescott as well for the future. It just feels good.It is Oct. 13, and Prescott is on the cover of Sports Illustrated.He is nonplussed. Asked by a gaggle of reporters what it feels like, Prescott says, Its always exciting, and points out that he has been on the cover before.Thats when you realize none of this is too big for him. Prescott played high-level college football, has done more than his fair share of interviews and is well versed in football narrative. Hes aware, at this point, that the talk outside the building is about a looming quarterback controversy between him and Romo, who is inching closer to a return. Prescott doesnt care.My job is to win, so Im going to continue to try and do that, he says. If you guys want to make it bigger than that, go ahead.At this time, the Cowboys locker room is a fun place. Backup quarterback Mark Sanchez takes his turn playing laundry basketball with teammates, competing to shoot balls into laundry hampers a few yards away from each other in the part of the locker room where Prescott and Elliott are fielding questions. Elliott talks of what its like to room with Prescott on the road. Prescott brags about a collection of peacock bow ties.In a far corner, star receiver Dez Bryant, still working his way back from an injury that has cost the team nothing in the standings, is smiling and talking about team chemistry.Its fun to go to meetings, Bryant said. Think about that. Meetings are never fun. Theyre not supposed to be fun. But with this group we have here, its all fun. The feeling in here right now, I cant describe it. Its like nothing weve ever had here.Whats clear is that this is not a locker room divided. Romo is still present. Hes a helper for Prescott and is still maintaining the same relationships in the room and in the front office that he has had for years. The strong belief is that, if something happened to force Romo back into action, he would play well behind this monster offensive line, and the team chemistry would be unaffected as long as losing didnt set in.At this time, in mid-October, there are whispers by people in the know about where Romos support lies. They say Jones, coach Jason Garrett and tight end Jason Witten are among the strongest voices in giving the job back to Romo when hes healthy. But the weeks that follow will convince even the strongest Romo loyalists that its better to keep things the way they are until something changes.In the halls of the Cowboys gleaming new training facility in Frisco, Texas, no one will talk about the quarterback. Theyre under orders. The best you can do is off-the-record, walkaway stuff from people who are afraid to be seen talking to you. Even those are on-message.What good does it do us to talk about this right now? one decision-maker asked. We dont know whats going to happen. This is the NFL. [Prescott] could have an injury and then Mark Sanchez is playing in the second half Sunday. Were just going to keep it even and see where it goes.It is Nov. 6, and Romo wants back in, but youre not going to hear him say it.Romo is on the road with the team, watching Prescott take apart the winless Browns in a matchup that more or less amounts to an extra bye week. Romos practice work has ramped up, and teammates say he looks fantastic throwing the ball. There is little doubt he could play, if they needed him to. But they dont.Cowboys sources say theres no doubt Romo would like his job back, but that hes being the good soldier. They say his relationships with Jones and Garrett are strong enough that hes all-in on the decision and wont rock the boat. And just in case, Jones postgame comments Sunday night put Romo in a position where to complain, either publicly or behind the scenes, would instantly label him the bad guy.Tony is on board to ride this thing out as well, Jones said. Let me be real clear on that. There is no equivocation. He is totally committed to doing the very best thing to win the game.Those same sources also point out that Romo is smart enough to know 19 of the NFLs 32 teams have had more than one quarterback throw a pass this season, and 11 teams have had more than one QB start a game. The odds are decent that something will happen to land Romo in a game before this season is over. And if not, theres a chance that means they all get to win the Super Bowl together. Backups get rings, too, after all.It is Nov. 15, and now its official.Romos back is healed and hes ready to return. Only problem is, the kid hasnt let up. Prescott has the Cowboys at 8-1 and in first place in the NFC East. Romo will trade in his game-day sweatsuit for a uniform and pads this week at home against Baltimore, but he will not start. Practice is likely to be different for him this week, too. Weeks ago, he was tough to find, throwing on a back field with equipment staff, tucked into a corner near where Jones helicopter lands at the teams spanking-new practice facility. This week, he should be out there taking Sanchezs snaps, sliding in with Alfred Morris and the backup offensive line after Prescott, Elliott and the starters have their turn.The Cowboys havent ruled out the possibility of Romo starting for them at some point this season, because why should they? Prescott could get hurt. He could struggle, as rookies do, especially as the length of the NFL season starts to affect them. Right now, given his track record, Romo is obviously the best backup quarterback in football, and the Cowboys feel as though they have an embarrassment of riches at the games most important position.Weve got a great luxury, a wonderful problem to have, Jones said after the teams Week 9 victory in Cleveland. Weve got some real talent at the quarterback position. I think Tony Romo is one of the best quarterbacks to play this game, and I get very excited when I look at Dak and his future. I just dont have a problem with this situation.As Jones talked, the Cowboys locker room was in full bubble. Bryant had caught one measly pass for 19 yards in the 35-10 victory in Cleveland and couldnt care less. He laughed with reporters as they discussed how wide open the three receivers were who caught Prescotts touchdown passes, and at how unstoppable Elliott continued to look.Romo sat not far away, dressing quietly but with his own big smile. He has remained silent throughout. Hell make small talk but clearly doesnt want to do interviews for fear of being a distraction. No one with the Cowboys wants anything to distract from whats going on right now.After Prescott and Elliott authored a stunning comeback victory in Pittsburgh on Sunday, Jones said Romo would be Prescotts backup upon his return to the active roster. Were going to let the decision make itself, Jones said. To this point, the decision has been made: Prescott is playing too well for the team to make any changes.But that decision is likely to continue to make itself. Dont expect the Cowboys to make any formal announcements about Prescott being the starter for the rest of the season, or for next season, because why should they?It is Feb. 6, 2017, and the Cowboys have a decision to make.Its too murky at this point to know what has befallen them in the interim. A Super Bowl run? A late-season fizzle? A season done in by an ultimately overmatched defense? Regardless, the Cowboys enter the offseason with the same beautiful quandary they carried with them throughout their season. Theyre confident in Prescott as their quarterback of the future, but also confident that Romo is still one of the best in the game.There are calls to trade Romo. Assuming hes healthy, QB-starved teams would offer high picks for him, even though hes about to turn 37 and, at this point, is clearly a major injury risk. By trading him (or releasing him), they would save $5.1 million on their 2017 salary cap. Prescott is scheduled to cost a mere $635,848 against the 2017 cap, and not much more in 2018 or 2019.But even if they trade or release Romo, the Cowboys will still carry a $19.6 million cap charge for him in 2017 -- the result of an unwieldy contract made even more challenging by continual restructures. So its not as if theyll be able to just throw around money like a team thats committing only 0.4 percent of its cap to the most important position. If the Cowboys think Romo can still play at a high level, theres a case for keeping him, given how much hell cost them regardless.The important thing to know about the Cowboys quarterback situation -- short-term and long-term --?is that its a good thing. If Romo is the backup, they have the best overall quarterback situation in the entire league. If Prescott struggles and Romo takes over again, Prescott isnt the type to crawl into a shell and pout. He knows he has shown he can play in the league, and if his career doesnt turn out to be an unbroken arc of success, hes smart and circumspect enough to know thats more normal than not. What have we seen from Prescott to indicate he wouldnt bounce back if he got benched, Romo got hurt, and he had to go back in and play?And if Prescott doesnt struggle, and the Cowboys decide to move on from Romo after this season, financial consequences be damned, the relationship between him and the team is solid enough that it wont be an ugly parting. If he can figure out a way to keep himself healthy -- a big if at this point -- Romo has every reason to believe he can help someone win in 2017. That could be any number of teams, including the Cowboys.On its own, Prescotts ascendance illustrates the moral of the Cowboys quarterback situation: You never know whats going to happen. Having Romo healthy and Prescott playing well makes Dallas that much better prepared. Cheap NHL Jerseys .

Phoenix, however, has plenty of work to do.Brandon Knight scored 18 points for the Suns (0-4), who gave Los Angeles a little scare on Halloween when they cut the lead to 56-55 in the third quarter.

We have to weather that storm and be mentally tough and play through that.TIP-INSSuns: G Devin Booker, third on the team in scoring, was a game-time decision and sat out with a sprained toe.
