Great Britain could continue as a combined sevens side, World Rugby CEO Brett Gosper has suggested. Jalen Richard Jersey .Although England, Scotland and Wales currently compete as separate nations on the World Sevens Series circuit, the three sides combined at the Rio Olympics as the men returned with a silver medal, and the women finished fourth.?Both squads in Brazil were drawn largely from England, who had qualified Britain for the Games.Welshwoman?Jasmine Joyce did take part, though, while compatriots James Davies and Sam Cross, as well as Scotsmen Mark Bennett and Mark Robertson returned home with a silver medal.If they really are taking the Olympics seriously, it would be normal that they look at it, Gosper told BBC Wales.And we would welcome either alternative [playing as separate nations or combining as GB] in terms of it fitting into the [world series] programme.Its up to the host nations of those countries to work out if its much better for them to combine their resources and present a GB side. Clive Walford Jersey .

Still, Brewers manager Ron Roenicke thought taking him out before the fifth inning was an unusual move. "Im looking up at the board and hes got two hits given up and one run, and Im taking him out after the fourth inning," Roenicke said. SILVERSTONE, Great Britain -- Lewis Hamilton set the fastest time during second practice for the British Grand Prix as Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg had to sit out of the session with a car problem.Hamilton led the two Red Bulls comfortably as Mercedes dominance looks set to continue over another weekend. Rosberg will be playing catch up, however, after losing out on crucial preparation time with a water leak, which meant he failed to turn a wheel throughout the 90-minute session.After 30 minutes of work on the car, Mercedes attempted to send Rosberg out but the run was aborted before the car left the garage. As a result, Rosberg will have to rely on Hamiltons long-run data, which included a 15 lap stint on the softs and a 13 lap stint on the mediums.Although Hamilton was 0.391s quicker than his nearest competitor, his soft tyre lap was 0.006s slower than the time he set on the medium in the first session. That suggests Mercedes will be able to extend its advantage even ffurther given a problem-free run. Jim Plunkett Jersey. Sebastian Vettel was 0.910s off Hamiltons fastest time using the same compound, while his Ferrari teammate Kimi Raikkonen was a full second slower than the Mercedes. Fernando Alonso set a respectable time in the McLaren Honda to go sixth fastest while teammate Jenson Button was limited to just 15 laps after a problem midway through the session.Romain Grosjean was eighth fastest in the Haas, just one place behind Valtteri Bottas Williams and ahead of Button and Felipe Massa. Both Force Indias ended up outside the top ten as they focused solely on the medium and hard compound tyres over long runs.After scoring his first point in Austria last weekend, Pascal Wehrlein again showed promising pace with the 19th fastest time ahead of Jolyon Palmer, Marcus Ericsson, Kevin Magnussen and teammate Rio Haryanto. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ChinaCheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '

Joe Root has revealed that it was a few home truths from Mark Ramprakash that helped inspire him to a career-best score in the Old Trafford Test. China Adrian Peterson Jersey.Describing his two dismissals at Lords as almost the final straw, Root turned to Ramprakash, the England batting coach, for advice. But rather than suggesting technical alterations or reassuring Root as to his quality, Ramprakash questioned whether he was in the frame of mind to be playing Test cricket at present.Root had looked well-set in the first innings of the first Test at Lords. He had added 110 for the second wicket with his captain, Alastair Cook, and moved within two of another half-century. But then he attempted an unnecessarily aggressive slow-sweep and top-edged to mid-wicket. Englands innings fell away and, with Root also succumbing to a loose pull in the second innings, Pakistan went on to win the game.It was far from the first time that Root had played a part in his own dismissal once set at Test level. Indeed, it was the 17th time in almost exactly 24 months that he had been dismissed with a score between 48 and 99 in a Test, in which time he had scored five Test centuries. And it was that failure to capitalise on his starts, that lack of ruthlessness, that persuaded him to seek advice ahead of the second Test in Manchester.It worked. Root produced his most controlled, mature innings to date to help England to a vast first innings total and, eventually, a victory that left the series level at 1-1 with two to play.The most frustrating thing about this Test match summer so far is that the majority of my dismissals have been batsman error, Root said. They have been things that are my own fault rather than good pieces of bowling where I couldnt do much about it.I look back at a number of dismissals and think thats not good enough, Ive got to be doing better than that. It was almost like the final straw at Lords. Id really wound myself up and I knew having been moved up the order, being 1-0 down in the series, I needed to put a really big performance in.I worked really hard in practice and, after the Tests, spoke to Mark Ramprakash about areas I could potentially go further with my game.I asked him: is there anything I could be doing differently or better to offer more to the team. He said it must be your mental approach to things because your game looks in good order, youre playing well in the nets and you look pretty comfortable out there.One thing he said was are you mentally in the right place to play Test cricket at the minute?I didnt even think about that at the time. That sort of hurt me, that someone would say that to me. But it was a good motivator to get me in the right place for Old Trafford.It was actually exactly what I needed to hear. Thats why he is such a good batting coach and why he is getting a lot out of our batters at the moment.Part of the problem, Root believes, was adapting to playing all three formats of the game within a short space of time. While he dismisses any sense that he was tired or jaded, he does admit that adapting to the different tempos of the formats has challenged him and that, at times, he has lost his wicket in Tests to the sort of stroke that might have been more appropriate in the limited-overs formats.The way I was approaching things was still edging towards one-day cricket a bit, Root said. Maybe I was expecting to score at a certain rate or play in a way that didnt really suit the situation or the way the opposition were bowling.It may have had something to do with switching across three forms. I dont think its a fatigue thing. I was just trying to turn that mental approach from one-day cricket to Test cricket. Previously Ive got that right but on this occasion I dont think I did quite.The fact that Ramps picked up on that and I was able to turn that round in quite a short space of time was really pleasing. It was nice to have push in the right direction, which is probably what you need from the coaching staff.It is not the first time Root has used the pain of defeat to drive him to improve. He was stung by his experiences on the Ashes tour of 2013-14 when England were thrashed 5-0 and Root was, for the only time in his career, dropped from the Test team.But while he admits it was a tough experience at the time, he also feels he benefited from it. He believes it taught him not only which areas of his game he needed to improve, but how to react in adversity. But, most of all, it has given him a hunger to put things right. While England have a lot to think about before the next Ashes tour - not least a tour to India and the Champions Trophy next June - it is only about 15 months away and Root admits both to training with one eye on it and to dreaming of what he believes would be an immense victory.At the time, that tour was difficult for me, he said. More than anything when I look back at that series, it was the amount of things I tried to change when it wasnt going well.I learnt a lot on that trip about my technique, areas I needed to learn but also what were my strengths and the basics of my game.Now, in situations like that, I just try to strip my game down to the bare basics and really rely on what I know works consistently for me. I had the mental strength within myself to know that and not to panic and just keep working hard. So going through that experience really did help me.At no point over the last 12 months have I really felt out of form, and since the start of the summer my game has felt in a really good place even though I wasnt getting the big scores.That was the lesson I learnt from that trip and I suppose it is a big driver for me to keep improving and keep looking to go big when I get the chance.There are a few players in our squad who were on that tour and would like to get back out there and put some really strong performances in. Me and a few of the other guys are doing things now to get us ready for Australia and India and playing on different surfaces so that you dont just turn up and say I need to do this and I need to do that youve already got a base layer in your locker before you get there.I would imagine that winning in Australia is one of the best feelings in Test cricket. It was great watching the guys do it not long ago and the stories and memories from a few of the guys who are still playing now are great to hear about.Hearing it makes you very hungry to go and do it yourself. Weve got a really strong squad of players who can go and do something special over there. It would be immense to be on a winning tour down there having scored a lot of runs.Joe Root was speaking at his first club, Sheffield Collegiate CC, on behalf of Hardys Wine & their Heartbeat of the Club campaign.

Giles Clarke, the ECB president, is set to renew his relationship with the Pakistan Cricket Board, after being tasked alongside Dave Richardson, the ICC chief executive, to explore ways to boost the boards economy in the absence of any home international matches. Koa Misi Jersey .The decision was taken at the quarterly ICC board meeting that concluded in Cape Town on Friday. The board also agreed to look into financial assistance for the PCB given that it has now been almost eight years since their cricketers were last able to play a match in front of their home fans.Clarke, who is a member of the powerful Financial and Commercial Affairs Committee, headed up the ICCs original Pakistan Task Force in 2009, although he was unable to visit the country in that capacity due to the ongoing security concerns.Despite their difficulties, Pakistans Test team rose to become the No.1 nation earlier this year following a hugely creditable 2-2 draw in their away series against England. It is understood that Clarke is scheduled to meet PCB officials in a months time to chalk out the details of the ICCs funding exercise.We reflect the unique contribution of Pakistan to world cricket. There is a huge amount of goodwill at the ICC board table for Pakistan, Clarke told ESPNcricinfo. Along with the [ICC] chief executive, I have been charged with looking at how we can assist Pakistan. Some of the economics of life has not been easy for Pakistan because they cant play home games.We are looking at the economics of Pakistan cricket, seeing where the ICC can help in recognising the importance of Pakistan to the international cricketing community, and to the cricketing world. They got the Test mace and played a superb series in England this summer. They were magnificent on and off the pitch during the England series.Describing himself as a very committed supporter of Pakistan cricket, Clarke said he had spent seven years trying to figure out ways to develop the game in the country.We have made a bit of progress today with some of the ideas that came out of the meeting. Dave Richardson and I are going to see what we can do to help Pakistan cricket economically and what we can do what possibilities are there for anyone to tour Pakistan.However, the prospect of international cricket making a permanent return to Pakistan remains doubtful. Earlier this year, memories of the terrorist attack on the Sri Lanka team bus in March 2009 were revived when another terrorist attack ripped through Lahore, killing at least 72 people and injuring 300 others in Gulshan-i-Iqbal, a popular hangout.As you know, we were a very long way down the road with a concept of having a heavyweight world team tour Pakistan and play against Pakistan, said Clarke. Then the atrocity in Lahore absolutely scuppered that.As a consequence of that attack, the PCB had to terminate a planned World XI versus Pakistanis match, an exercise that had been intended to provide a first step towards a return of full international cricket.Cricket does not belong in a war zone, said Clarke. [But] Cricket does belong in Pakistan. If we are going to bring world cricket back to Pakistan, then we will need the help of the vast number of massively enthusiastic Pakistani cricket followers - which in my view is most of the country. Because it is the bad guys who are stopping us. If you love cricket in Pakistan, you know we cant have atrocities. It stops people from coming. But if you give up, then the terrorist wins. I am not bloody giving up.According to Clarke, PCB executive chairman Najam Sethi made a very powerful plea which had struck a chord with the ICC board during the Cape Town meeting. Sethi had been representing his board in the absence of Shaharyar Khan, who could not attend due to health reasons.During his address, Sethi focused on the major issues that were denting Pakistan cricket financially. Aside from Zimbabwes limited-overs tour in May 2015, have played all of their matches since 2009 in the UAE. However, the extra costs incurred by those matches have directly hampered the development of the game back home in Pakistan.In a bid to shore up their domestic infrastructure, the PCB recently began work on 16 regional academies as a part of their developmental plan. Another option under consideration is that ICC should help carry the cost of Pakistans bilateral series in the UAE.There is, however, an acceptance from all parties that it will ultimately be down to the players themselves to determine whether they are prepared to tour Pakistan again. As Englands current tour of Bangladesh shows, administrators cannot force players to tour when they are not comfortable with the security. Cordrea Tankersley Jersey .

Jon Montgomery of Eckville, Alta.Renault have become the first F1 team to reveal their new car for 2016 at a glittering launch ceremony in Paris marking the groups return to F1 as a constructor outfit. Following Pastor Maldonados exit, Kevin Magnussen was confirmed as Jolyon Palmers team-mate, with Esteban Ocon appointed reserve driver, while Frederic Vasseur was presented as the teams new boss under the title of racing director. Bob Bell will take on the role of chief technical officer.Renault, who powered Red Bull and Toro Rosso last year, have returned to F1 as a fully-fledged team for the new season after buying back the Lotus outfit they sold in 2009. They will be known as the Renault Sport F1 team. The teams new car, the RS16, will be adorned in a predominately black livery with only flecks of yellow - which was Renaults traditional colour scheme during their previous stint as a full F1 team. The livery may change again before the season-starting Australian GP, however.I think we have learned that Renault are back as serious players and aim to compete for wins and championships in the medium term, commented Sky Sports News HQs Craig Slater.It was interesting that they debuted the new car rather than just a team launch. It is a wonderful looking piece, but not much in the way of evolution from last year. Magnussens appointment as Pastor Maldonados replacement caps a roller-coaster six months for the young Dane which started with Magnussen being told on his 23rd birthday he was being dropped by McLaren as their reserve driver but has now culminated in his own return to the grid. Magnussen was a race driver for McLaren in 2014 but was then ousted when Fernando Alonso returned to partner Jenson Button.Its not only a Formula 1 drive but its a top drive. Renault Sport will be fighting for world championships in the future, it might have a build-up phase, but theyre here to win and thats a goal I share, said Magnussen. Lotus finished sixth in the Constructors Championship last year but have warned they face a transitional season in 2016 as Renault reintegrate at the teams Enstone base.While the new livery was the most eye-catching feature of Wednesdays launch, the most significant change is likely to have occurred underneath the bodywork with Mercedes class-leading engine replaced by a Renaults own V6 unit. F1 gossip column Carmen Jorda still part of Renault team set-up We know when the team wins it is the car and when it loses it is the engine. That is why we had to come in as a full team, said Renault chairman Carlos Ghosn. Cheap NFL Jerseys. We know we are starting at a handicap compared to the winner in F1, but we believe we have the talent to close the gap. We are not here to participate, we are here to compete at the highest level and eventually win.I want every time a race starts for Renault to compete. That is not going to happen in 2016. Whos who at Renault in 2016 Managing director Cyril Abiteboul Racing director Frederic Vasseur Chief technical officer Bob Bell Race drivers Kevin Magnussen and Jolyon Palmer Reserve driver Esteban Ocon In an indication of their commitment to returning to the front of the F1 grid, Renault have created a new motorsport division, Renault Sport Racing. It will be run by Jerome Stoll with Vasseur reporting to managing director Cyril Abiteboul.Renaults last period of team ownership, between 2002 and 2009, delivered two world championship doubles and Abiteboul made clear: The ambition is not just to participate - we have no intention to make up the numbers.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- After starting the season with a 6-1 record, the Oklahoma City Thunder were being looked at as the surprise team in the NBA. Shaquill Griffin Jersey . A week later, the Thunder are in a tailspin, riding a four-game losing streak.That is the situation that awaits the Thunder (6-5) when they play host to the Houston Rockets (6-4) on Wednesday night at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.The latest loss came Monday night when Thunder traveled to Detroit on the second night of a back-to-back. Near the end of the first quarter and the start of the second, Oklahoma City allowed the Pistons to go on a 23-6 run. It was an uphill battle from that point on, and Detroit emerged with a 104-88 victory.Defensively we started with really good energy, Thunder coach Billy Donovan said. In fairness to our guys, you can always expect on a back-to-back that youre going to be a bit leg weary. Generally thats going to affect your offense. Sometimes on back-to-backs you cant put stock or onus on having a great offensive output, but you have to hang your hat on your defense.Oklahoma Citys defense is getting precipitately worse, but it hasnt just been against teams such as the Golden State Warriors or Los Angeles Clippers.The Thunders last two defeats came at the hands of the Orlando Magic and Detroit, clubs that rank in the bottom seven in the NBA in scoring. Each team managed to score over a 100 against the Thunder.Were one of the top teams in the league when we play defensively, Thunder guard Russell Westbrook told The Oklahoman. So Im not really worried about whos playing and whos not.Having issues with defense, however, is not a good problem to have with the Rockets in town. Houston is 10th in the league in scoring at 107.8 points per game and fifth in 3-point shooting at 37 percent.Houston has not had a problem putting up points this season. The Rockets are coming off a 115-88 plastering of the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday.I thought they came out with the right intensity, they came out the way they should have, Rockets coach Mike DAntoni said. We talked about it and came out in the second half the way we should have. That way we got some good rest. I saw a lot of good things.The Rockets might get even stronger Wednesday with the possible return of guard Patrick Beverley, who has been out since the preseason after undergoing left knee surgery.Beverley and the Thunder have a history that goes back to when he crashed into Westbrooks knee during the 2013 postseason. Westbrook ended up with a torn meniscus that cost him the rest of the postseason. Thunder fans catapulted Beverley to the top of their most hated list, which he has held onto since then.Against the 76ers, Rockets guard James Harden posted 33 points, seven rebounds and nine assists. He is now one of only three players in history to average at least 30 points and 10 assists through 10 games. Harden was also named Western Conference Player of the Week.However, Harden seems to be more focused on making sure his team plays the right way.Were getting better game by game, and defensively were getting better and offensively has been better, too, Harden told ESPN.com. We take it one game at a time. These next three games will be extremely tough; well be all right as long as we continue to do the things weve been working on.Asked his assessment of the Thunder in the wake of Kevin Durant exit in free agency, Harden said, Its Russ. Its Russ, and its a one-man show. Dion Jordan Jersey . "Theyve both been real good," said Babcock. "Havent changed our minds."

PHILADELPHIA -- Shavar Newkirk scored 28 points and Lamarr Kimble added 16 -- both career highs -- to help Saint Josephs hold on for a 77-76 win over Toledo in the season opener for both teams on Saturday night.Newkirk hit 9 of 16 from the field, including 3 of 4 from 3-point range, with a career-best seven rebounds and three assists. James Demery added 11 points and tied a career high with eight rebounds.Steve Taylor Jr.s jumper gave Toledo a 71-70 lead with 2:04 to play but St. Mark Glowinski Jersey. Joes got a pair of offensive rebounds on its next possession before a putback by Markell Lodge, and then a jumper and two free throws by Newkirk, gave the Hawks the lead -- 76-71 -- for good.Jonathan Williams led Toledo with 18 points.

PHILADELPHIA -- Carson Wentz threw for 301 yards and two touchdowns, a fierce defense shut down Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown and the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 34-3 on Sunday to remain unbeaten. Y.A. Tittle Jersey .The rookie No. 2 overall pick connected with Darren Sproles on a 73-yard, catch-and-run TD and tossed a 12-yard TD pass to Jordan Matthews.?After beating the Browns and Bears in the first two games, the Eagles (3-0) proved they could compete with the big boys. The Steelers (2-1) averaged 31 points the first two weeks and are considered Super Bowl contenders.?Pittsburgh was 19-2 against rookie quarterbacks since 2004. But Wentz is no ordinary rookie.Everyone is jumping on the Wentz wagon in Philadelphia. And he was the No. 3 quarterback until Sam Bradford was traded to Minnesota just eight days before the season opener.Sproles finished with six catches for 128 yards and Kenjon Barner and rookie Wendell Smallwood each had their first career rushing TDs.BRONCOS 29, BENGALS 17CINCINNATI -- Trevor Siemian threw a career-high four touchdown passes in his first road start and was nearly perfect under fourth-quarter pressure, rallying Denver over Cincinnati.The defending Super Bowl champions are 3-0 under Siemian, who took over after Peyton Manning retired and Brock Osweiler went to Houston. He completed 11 of 12 passes while rallying the Broncos to a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns.The previous Bronco to throw for four touchdowns was Manning in 2014 against the Dolphins. Siemian went 23 of 35 for 312 yards and a passer rating of 132.1.Siemian had a 41-yard touchdown pass to Emmanuel Sanders to get it started, and stood in under a heavy rush and connected with Demaryius Thomas on a 55-yard score with 4:23 left to clinch it. Sanders finished with nine catches for 117 yards.The Bengals got their dormant running game going, but were still out of sync as they fell to 1-2 for the first time in five years. Jeremy Hill ran for a pair of touchdowns and 97 yards.PACKERS 34, LIONS 27GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers threw for 205 yards and four touchdowns, including two in the first half to Jordy Nelson, and Green Bay snapped out of its offensive funk before holding off Detroit.Rodgers was 15 of 24, leading the Packers to touchdowns on their first three series. Nelson had 101 yards on six catches, returning to the form that made him one of the NFLs best receivers before missing the 2015 season with a knee injury.The Packers (2-1) led 31-10 at the half before the Lions slowly chipped away.Marvin Jones 35-yard touchdown catch with 3:34 left got Detroit (1-2) within seven. Jones had a career-high 205 yards on six receptions.Matthew Stafford passed for 385 yards and three scores for the Lions, who held advantages in total yardage (418-324) and time of possession, holding the ball for 35 minutes.COWBOYS 31, BEARS 17ARLINGTON, Texas -- Dak Prescott led scoring drives on all four Dallas possessions in the first half before throwing his first career touchdown pass, and the Cowboys beat Chicago to snap an eight-game home losing streak.With his second straight win, Prescott doubled the number of victories the Cowboys (2-1) had in 14 games without injured quarterback Tony Romo over three seasons before the rookie fourth-round pick showed up. Prescott was 19 of 24 for 248 yards in Dallas first home win since last years opener.Prescotts first TD pass was a 17-yarder to Dez Bryant for a 31-10 lead in the fourth quarter, and hes up to 99 throws without an interception to start his career. Philadelphia rookie Carson Wentz has 102, and those are the two highest career-opening totals in NFL history.Rookie Ezekiel Elliott had his first 100-yard game for Dallas, finishing with 140 yards on 30 carries and a 14-yard run when he hurdled safety Chris Prosinski.Chicago is 0-3.VIKINGS 22, PANTHERS 10CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Sam Bradford threw a touchdown pass to Kyle Rudolph, Marcus Sherels returned a punt for a score and Minnesota snapped Carolinas 14-game home winning streak.The Vikings (3-0) put the clamps on Cam Newton, intercepting the leagues reigning MVP three times and sacking him eight times, one of those resulting in a safety by Danielle Hunter.The eight sacks were the second-most ever against Newton.The Panthers (1-2) had come in averaging 42 points per game in their past three home games, but could do little after bolting to a 10-0 lead. The Vikings held Carolina receivers Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess without a catch.Bradford improved to 2-0 as the Vikings starter, completing 18 of 28 passes for 171 yards. With Adrian Peterson injured, Matt Asiata and Jerick McKinnon combined for 70 yards rushing on 22 carries. Rudolph had seven catches for 70 yards, including a 15-yard TD catch to put the Vikings ahead for good in the early in the third quarter.SEAHAWKS 37, 49ERS 18SEATTLE -- Russell Wilson threw for 243 yards and a touchdown before suffering a left knee injury and Seattle rolled to a rout of San Francisco.Wilson was injured with about 10 minutes to go in the third quarter getting pulled down awkwardly on a sack by San Franciscos Eli Harold. Harold was called for a horse collar penalty, but the bigger concern was how he fell on Wilsons left leg.Wilson stayed down on the field for a few moments before walking off. Wilson missed the first play of his career due to injury, but returned to throw one more pass. The completion led to the third of Steven Hauschkas three field goals for a 27-3 lead and after that Wilsons day was done.COLTS 26, CHARGERS 22INDIANAPOLIS -- Andrew Luck shook off a sore throwing shoulder, then watched T.Y. Hilton break a tackle on a 63-yard touchdown pass with 1:17 to play, giving Indianapolis a victory over San Diego.Its the second time this season Luck has produced a late score to give Indy a lead in the waning seconds.But, unlike the season opener two weeks ago, the Colts (1-2) recovered two fumbles in the final 62 seconds to preserve the win.Luck finished 24 of 37 for 331 yards with one TD and one interception to earn his 15th come-from-behind win -- not bad for a guy who missed practice Wednesday and did limited work Thursday in practice because of the injury.REDSKINS 29, GIANTS 27EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Dustin Hopkins kicked a 37-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter for his fifth of the game and Washington Redskins avoid a near-disastrous 0-3 start with a win over the penalty-and error-prone New York.Kirk Cousins threw touchdown passes of 44 yards to DeSean Jackson and 55 to Jamison Crowder as the banged-up Redskins (1-2) handed new coach Ben McAdoo his first loss with the Giants (2-1).Sua Cravens ended the Giants final drive with an interception in New York territory. It was Eli Mannings second pick of the quarter, with the other coming in the end zone by Quinton Dunbar after New York got to the Redskins 15 on a big play by Odell Beckham Jr.RAMS 37, BUCCANEERS 32TAMPA, Fla. -- Case Keenum threw for the Rams first touchdown since relocating back to Los Angeles, and Todd Gurley rushed for two more scores in a victory over Tampa Bay.The Rams (2-1), who did not get into the end zone in the first two games of the season, also scored on Ethan Westbrooks 77-yard fumble return and Tavon Austins 43-yard reception in the fourth quarter before thunder and lightning caused a 69-minute weather delay with two minutes remaining.Keenum, who used three field goals to beat Seattle 9-3 in Week 2, completed 14 of 25 passes for 190 yards, two TDs and one interception, which Bucs linebacker Kwon Alexander returned 38 yards for a first-quarter touchdown.In addition to throwing a TD pass to Austin for a late 11-point lead, he got the Rams on track early with his 44-yard scoring pass to Brian Quick for the franchises first TD as the L.A. Rams since 1994.Jameis Winston threw for 405 yards and three TDs for Tampa Bay (1-2). He threw an interception that set up one of Gurleys two 1-yard touchdown runs and was stripped by the Rams Robert Quinn on the fumble that Westbrooks returned up the left sideline for a 31-20 lead.CHIEFS 24, JETS 3KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kansas City Chiefs returned two turnovers for touchdowns, intercepted three passes in the end zone and forced eight turnovers total in a victory over New York.Marcus Peters had two of the picks for the Chiefs (2-1), including the first of four off the Jets Ryan Fitzpatrick in the fourth quarter. Daniel Sorenson had another, Derrick Johnson returned his 55 yards for a touchdown, and D.J. White snagged his in the end zone with 1:54 left in the game.The eight turnovers were the most by the Jets (1-2) since they set a franchise record with 10 in a loss to the New England Patriots on Nov. 21, 1976.Alex Smith was 25 of 33 for 237 yards and a touchdown for Kansas City, while Spencer Ware added 75 yards rushing. But it was the performance of the defense -- and all those Jets turnovers -- that helped the Chiefs bounced back from their first regular-season defeat in 12 games.RAVENS 19, JAGUARS 17JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Justin Tucker kicked a 54-yard field goal with 1:02 remaining, lifting Baltimore over Jacksonville.Tucker raised both arms in celebration as his fourth field goal of the day split the uprights with plenty of distance. The Ravens improved to 3-0 for the third time in franchise history and first since 2009.The Jaguars fell to 0-3 for the third time in the last four years and surely will hear more talk about coach Gus Bradleys job security. Bradley is now 12-39 in four seasons, the second-worst winning percentage of any NFL coach with at least 50 games.Tucker also made kicks of 43, 42 and 37 yards.BILLS 33, CARDINALS 18ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- LeSean McCoy scored twice and safety Aaron Williams returned a botched field-goal snap 53 yards for a touchdown in leading Buffalo over Arizona.Quarterback Tyrod Taylor also scored on a 20-yard run at a time the Rex Ryan-coached Bills spent the past week taking the brunt of criticism after opening the season 0-2.The win also came on the heels of Ryan firing offensive coordinator Greg Roman and replacing him with running backs coach Anthony Lynn.McCoy scored on 24- and 5-yard runs, and finished with 110 yards rushing after combining for just 117 in his first two games. Taylor had 76 yards rushing, including a 49-yarder, the longest by a quarterback in team history.Arizona is 1-2.RAIDERS 17, TITANS 10NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Derek Carr threw for 249 yards and a touchdown, and Oakland beat Tennessee with its defense finally coming up with some big plays.The Raiders (2-1) forced three turnovers and had a sack after coming into this game having given up more yards than any team since at least 1940 through the first two games. Coach Jack Del made a couple of lineup changes, starting linebacker Cory James and rookie safety Karl Joseph, their top draft pick.Oakland never trailed and took control in the second quarter, scoring 10 points and outgaining the Titans 129-40 to take a 17-3 lead into halftime.The Titans (1-2) rallied from a 15-3 deficit a week ago in beating Detroit 16-15, and they thought they at least had forced overtime when Marcus Mariota found Andre Johnson alone in the end zone for a touchdown. But officials flagged Johnson for interference on Raiders cornerback TJ Carrie.DOLPHINS 30, BROWNS 24, OTMIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Jay Ajayi scored on an 11-yard run with 8:26 left in overtime, and Miami escaped with a win over Cleveland.Ajayis winner came one play after Miami quarterback Ryan Tannehill found a wide-open Jarvis Landry for a 32-yard gain, as the Dolphins (1-2) avoided what would be their first 0-3 start since 2011.Tannehill threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns for Miami, and Landry caught seven of those passes for 120 yards.Cody Parkey missed three field goals for Cleveland, including a 46-yarder as time expired in regulation.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Malcolm Smith Jersey .

LOS ANGELES -- The last time they metm the Golden State Warriors smoked the Los Angeles Clippers 120-75 in an exhibition on Oct. 4 at Oracle Arena.Afterward, Clippers coach Doc Rivers, who frequently likes to tweak the Warriors with snarky comments, said Golden State approached the contest like a postseason game while his club showed up for glorified scrimmage.On Wednesday, the two Western Conforence foes engage in the first of four regular-season clashes as the Warriors visit the Clippers at Staples Center.The Warriors (18-3), who own the NBAs best record, captured six in a row over the Clippers, including the last three at Staples. The bitterness between the two clubs began in earnest during their 2014 playoff series, which the Clippers won in seven games. It reached a boiling point after Game 7 at Staples, where several players from both teams enaged in verbal confrontations in the hallway between the locker rooms. Since then, its been one of the leagues spiciest entrees.As much as Rivers has gone out of his way to publicly downplay any rivalry between the two clubs, the players tell a different story.Theyre a top team in the West, a top team in the league no matter what, Clippers forward Blake Griffin told the Los Angeles Times before Tuesdays practice. Yeah, its a different type of game than if youre playing the last seed in the East. Absolutely it is. Id be lying to come in and just say its a regular game.Anytime theres hype. ... This is the most media Ive seen before a game this whole season. Obviously, you guys will make it that.The Warriors are coming off a 142-106 rout of the Indiana Pacers behind Klay Thompsons 60-point performance in 29 minutes. Thompson, who scored 40 points in the first half, connected on 21 of 32 shots from the floor and 8 of 14 from 3-point raange. Solomon Thomas Jersey. ve never seen anything like it, Warriors forward Kevin Durant, who finished with 20 points and eight rebounds in only 22 minutes, told the Bay Area News Group. In 29 minutes? And not even play the fourth quarter? Thats unheard of. I mean Ive watched Kobe (Bryant) score (81) and 62 in three quarters but to be on a team and be at the game and be on the sideline to watch it, that was crazy.The Warriors have been on a major roll. They won 14 of their last 15 games, a 132-127 double-overtime loss to the Houston Rockets on Thursday being the only blemish. Golden State leads the league in points per game (120.2) -- scoring more than 140 twice this season, assists (32) and field-goal shooting (50.3 percent).The Warriors also average a league-high 9.6 steals per contest.Meanwhile, the Clippers (16-6), who got off to one of the leagues best starts, have struggled lately. One night before the Pacers ventured to Oakland, Calif., they beat the Clippers 111-102, handing Los Angeles its fourth loss in six games.Fatigue has been one of the reasons mentioned for their troubles, some of the players admit. Since Oct. 30, Los Angeles played 21 games in 37 days, one of the busiest runs in the league.But the Clippers swear the early wear and tear is no reason for excuses.I think our record could have been a lot better over this past stretch, which is the toughest part, point guard Chris Paul said. We knew we were going into a six-week stretch without having two days (off) between games, but Im glad that we got through it. Im still a little disappointed (with the losses) because given the situation we still had given ourselves more opportunities to win. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '

The pressure has cranked up on Roberto Martinez after a 4-0 Merseyside derby humbling for his Everton side at Anfield. Speedform Apollo Vent Blue . While Jurgen Klopp laughed and joked in the home dugout, the Spaniard cut a stern figure on the touchline, as Liverpool pulled his 10-man team apart in the second-half.The hosts were already 2-0 up when Ramiro Funes Mori saw red for an ugly challenge on Divock Origi on 50 minutes and from there on it was an exhibition from Liverpool, with Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho rounding off a miserable night for Everton. Here, we look at the talking points from the match…Martinez feeling the heat Roberto Martinez told Sky Sports Evertons defeat to Liverpool was embarrassing It was a horrible, horrible showing… Its a feeling of embarrassment. Roberto Martinez, so often eager to put a positive spin on his Everton teams defeats, could not hide his disappointment at this heavy loss to Liverpool. The Spaniard had gone into the game under pressure and this result and performance has only served to exacerbate the situation.Thats an embarrassing defeat, an embarrassing performance and if he gets something similar against Manchester United [in Saturdays FA Cup semi-final] I think its difficult for him to come back, said Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher. Liverpool on top Liverpool are unbeaten in the last 11 Premier League Merseyside derbies (W4 D7 L0). The numbers dont make for good reading. Liverpool had 37 attempts on goal to Evertons three. The visitors didnt force Simon Mignolet into a single save. The Reds also enjoyed 67 per cent possession and had 64 touches in the opposition box. On only three occasions did one of Martinezs players touch the ball in the Liverpool box. Everton didnt manage a single shot on target.It was one of the most one-sided derbies in recent times - although Liverpool did also beat Everton 4-0 in January 2014. Martinez was manager of Everton that day, too.Now Martinez has to find a way to lift the spirits of his players for their trip to Wembley this weekend. His future tenure as Everton manager could depend on it. He said himself it was a defining four or five days, said Carragher. The first half of that has been a disaster for him. How can he pick them up now and go again?Everton dealt FA Cup blows John Stones was forced off with stomach cramps As if a thrashing at the hands of your rivals was not bad enough preparation for a major Wembley fixture, Everton are facing a defensive crisis for their FA Cup semi-final.Ramiro Funes Mori will be suspended, following his straight red card. John Stones was forced to leave the pitch in the second half with stomach cramps. Thats in addition to Seamus Coleman and Phil Jagielka, who are both struggling with hamstring problems.Muhamed Besic and James McCarthy finished the game at centre-half for Everton at Anfield, and Martinez may well be forced into playing another inexperienced pairing in defence on Saturday.Funes Mori sees red Ramiro Funes Mori grabbed the Everton badge as he left the pitch During his time with River Plate in Argentina, Funes Mori played and scored against arch rivals Boca Juniors in a Superclasico Copa Libertadores final, so the notion that hed get carried away in this fixture seems an odd one. But, with his team seemingly reeling from a half-time dressing down from the management, the 25-year-old made an ugly challenge on Origi and was rightfully dismissed.Referee Robert Madley at first drew a yellow card from his pocket, before appearing to be advised by assistant that the challenge warranted a more severe punishment. It was a decision Carragher in the Sky Sports studio agreed with, although he was critical of Funes Moris reaction to his dismissal. Merseyside derby dismissals There have now been 21 red cards in the Merseyside derby in Premier League history, more than any other fixture (14 Everton, 7 Liverpool). He has let himself down with the challenge, said the former Liverpool defender. It happens in football. Ive made bad challenges and other players have made bad challenges, but going off the pitch he was kissing his badge to the Everton fans.Why was he kissing the badge? Number one, he has only been here for two minutes and number two, why is he playing to the crowd? Because hes injured a Liverpool player? Are they going to be happy with that?They were getting battered in the game and hes now going to miss the biggest game of the season when theyve got Jagielka out. Its embarrassing. What is he doing? Everton fans wont fall for that nonsense. It was the only challenge anyone put in by the way, but it was a bad one.Liverpool on a roll Liverpool have won their last four fixtures across all competitions Regardless of how many changes Jurgen Klopp makes, Liverpool keep on winning. Despite 10 changes at Bournemouth and nine on Wednesday, the Reds have now notched up four victories in a row across all competitions - with an aggregate score of 14-5.With a Europa League semi-final on Thursday, expect further changes for the visit of Rafa Benitezs Newcastle to Anfield this weekend. But the momentum is with Klopps squad right now, and Liverpools former manager Benitez will face a huge test with his relegation-threatened side.Against Everton, Liverpool impressed from front to back, but Mamadou Sakho, Philippe Coutinho and James Milner deserve special credit. Milner on song James Milner has recorded 11 assists in 2016 in all competitions, three more than any other PL player. The latter was imperious at the back, aggressive in the opposition box and careful in possession. His Brazilian colleague had 116 touches (almost twice as many as any Everton player), fired nine shots at goal and recorded six key passes.However, Milner took home the man of the match prize after registering two assists in one game for just the second time in his Premier League career. The previous occasion came just 10 days earlier at Stoke.Klopp has got his Liverpool squad firing at the business end of the season. Origi injury opens the door for Sturridge Daniel Sturridge scored his 50th Liverpool goal Despite the win, Klopp conceded he could not be 100 per cent happy with the outcome, given Origis injury. The 21-year-old Belgian appeared to have established himself has his managers first-choice forward and, after his first-half goal against Everton made it five in five games, all was going to plan.However, Funes Moris challenge saw Origi leave the field on a stretcher and, while the full extent of his ankle problem is yet to be revealed, there are concerns he could be set for an extended period on the sidelines.That presents an opportunity for Daniel Sturridge. The England striker grabbed a goal and attempted to claim Coutinhos after replacing Origi and he is now in a position to stake a claim for a regular starting spot. Divock Origi was stretchered off with an ankle injury Sturridges cool finish made it 50 goals in 87 games for Liverpool - only Fernando Torres has reached the milestone in quicker time for the Reds during the Premier League era. However, Carragher says Sturridge still has work to do to ensure he is part of Klopps plans going forward.That record hes got shows the quality of Daniel Sturridge, said Carragher. Hes an unbelievable striker. But hes got to think to himself, why am I not in this team? Its not an unbelievable Liverpool team. The fact hes not playing is something that has to sink in.

IRVINE, Calif. -- And yet another lesson to be learned when your nearly every move and sentence is being recorded for public consumption.Mom is watching.Los Angeles Rams coach Jeff Fisher learned that after the first episode of the HBO Hard Knocks documentary series aired Tuesday night, capturing him using some R-rated language. The next day, a phone call came.I got one of these yesterday, Jeffrey! Fisher said Thursday. This is from Mom. So I said, Sorry, Mom. Thats our world. Ill try to do better.When I hear Jeffrey! Its uh-oh. Something went wrong.The segment in question captured Fisher addressing the Rams in a morning meeting before the second day of practice. In the opening practice, star receiver Tavon Austin had been carted off when he cramped up after eating only two bananas at lunch. Then he cut receiver Deon Long for having a female guest in his room.Little things are important, you follow me? Fisher said. I am not f---ing going 7-9 or 8-8 or 9-7, OK? Or 10-6 for that matter. This team is too talented. I am not going to settle for that, OK? I know what I am doing. Under Armour Shoes For Men. We had some 7-9 bulls--- this morning. Now, Deons gone. That is 7-9 bulls---. We dont need it.The Rams went 7-9 last season. Some wondered just how far he would continue his countdown, how high his expectations for this team.Part of the whole process is inviting them in to the meeting rooms, Fisher said Thursday. But there are spontaneous things that come up, that, as coaches, you have to go and address. So I addressed something that took place in the morning and wanted to get my point across. People can read into whatever they want. But that was me talking to the team as if the cameras werent there. I was OK with what I said.I stopped at that point. I could have gone on. You dont know that I didnt go on because theres an edit guy there. So theres a lot of stuff that takes place that is edited.Just not exactly for Mom. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '

LOS ANGELES -- Led by talented freshmen Lonzo Ball and T. Jordan 4 Retro Royalty Mens .J. Leaf, No. 2 UCLA is back in college basketballs upper echelon for the first time under coach Steve Alford.The Bruins (9-0) are off to their best start since 2006-07 after upsetting then-No. 1 Kentucky at Rupp Arena last week , boosting them to their highest ranking since November 2007.Ball has made an instant impact in what is expected to be his lone season in Westwood. Hes averaging 14.6 points, 5.0 rebounds and his 9.3 assists leads the nation. Hes also shooting 55 percent from the floor and 43 percent from 3-point range.The confident newcomer even put his finger to his lips in a shushing motion to Kentuckys fans.I really dont like the attention like that, he said Thursday. It was a good win, but we still have a long journey to go.While Ball has grabbed most of the attention, Leaf asserted himself against the Wildcats with 17 points and 13 rebounds. Hes averaging 17.2 points and 9.4 rebounds while shooting 67 percent from the floor.Leaf and Ball have just been exceptional, said Michigan coach John Beilein, who scouted Leaf three times while recruiting him in high school.Ball and Leaf are among six UCLA players who average double figures in scoring, led by Isaac Hamilton with 18.1 points. The Bruins high-octane offense averages 97.0 points, second in the country.No one really cares what their numbers are like, Leaf said. We just want to win.Thanks to the arrival of Ball and Leaf, which invigorated veterans Bryce Alford, Hamilton and Thomas Welsh, things have changed quickly for the Bruins.In March, fans were irate after a 15-17 finish and no postseason invite. The programs fourth losing season since John Wooden was hired in 1948 prompted Alford to return a one-year contract extension he signed after his first season. He also wrote an apology letter to the fans.From about Christmas on, I mishandled the team and we did a lot of changing around and we should have just stayed focused on getting better, Alford said. Weve done a lot better job of that this year and the talent is back up this year.Not a popular hire among the schools older fan base in 2013, Alford guided the team to consecutive Sweet Sixteen appearances in his first two seasons. Now, the players and fans are thinking much bigger at a school that owns a record 11 national championships.Weve been talking about trying to get to Phoenix, the younger Alford said, mentioning the site of the Final Four. Weve really been confident in ourselves and really starting to trust each other.The Kentucky win injected UCLA into the national conversation and is already having an effect on campus. Saturdays home game against Michigan is nearly sold out, something that has been rare at Pauley Pavilion in recent years. The Bruins are averaging 7,481 through five games in the 13,800-seat arena.People have been congratulating us as we walked to class, the younger Alford said.In Michigan (7-2), the Bruins will find a team that plays at a glacial pace compared to how UCLA likes to run and gun. The Wolverines are allowing 58.2 points a game and holding opponents to 42 percent field-goal shooting. Their top scorer Zak Irvin averages 13.6 points.We have a bigger target on our back than ever. Were ready for it, Leaf said. Were going to try to establish our pace and get out and run.The Bruins are wrapping up finals on Friday and havent played since beating Kentucky last weekend. They had plenty of time to savor the victory, including on the charter flight home. Instead of sleeping, the players hit up Twitter and watched replays of their favorite moments.But once they got back to practice, the younger Alford was quick to invoke his senior leadership.Its finding that balance of enjoying what youve done so far but realizing at end of day it doesnt mean much, he said. If you dont continue to progress and move forward, it all goes to waste.The younger Alford has benefited the most from Balls arrival. The freshman has taken over ball-handling duties, allowing Alford to revert to his more natural position of coming off screens while playing slightly fewer minutes. Alford is in his final season playing for his father, who won the 1987 national championship at Indiana under coach Bob Knight.This team has a high, high ceiling, Steve Alford said. They know they havent come anywhere near what their peak is. Jordan 3 Katrina For Sale . -- Anaheim Ducks defenceman Luca Sbisa will be out at least six weeks with a torn tendon in his right hand. Jordan 3 Cyber Monday Mens .

She beat Mitu in the quarterfinals last year, and has her next match against Polana Hercog of Slovenia, whom Niculescu beat iin the 2014 quarterfinals, too. Jordan 13 White And Blue.

COLUMBIA, S. D.J. Swearinger Jersey .C. -- No. 3 South Carolina finished off three cruise-control wins on its home court. Things wont be so easy next time against No. 4 Louisville.The Gamecocks (4-0) routed St. Peters 93-38 on Tuesday night in the Basketball Hall of Fame Womens Challenge. Alaina Coates has 16 points as all five South Carolina starters finished in double figures and handed the Peacocks (0-4) their 19th straight loss.Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley believes her program is ready for the step up in competition.Its a great way to put our identity on the line, Staley said. Its a good way to see where we match up with other great teams across the country.The tests wont stop for the Gamecocks after Louisville. Theyll travel to No. 14 Texas on Dec. 1, then close the road stretch at typically dangerous Duke. Theres also a home game Dec. 18 against No. 9 UCLA.Kaela Davis, the Georgia Tech transfer, scored 14 points, going 4-of-4 on three pointers. She said the teams runaway wins over the past three days -- the Gamecocks topped Hampton 92-38 on Sunday and Maine 79-42 on Monday night -- have helped the team develop flow and revealed deficiencies to work on at practice.Obviously, with our three-game stretch weve got coming up, we need to fine tune a lot of things, Davis said.Davis got the Gamecocks off quickly with a 3-pointer from the right corner. Allisha Gray and Bianca Cuevas-Moore also had early 3s and the Gamecocks led 13-2 four minutes in. Things trended South Carolinas way the rest of the game.The Gamecocks were up 64-21 at the break, tied for third most points in a half in program history.Aja Wilson had 14 points, Gray 13 and Cuevas-Moore 11 as the starter spent most of the final two quarters on the bench cheering their younger teammates.St. Peters coach Pat Coyle said the Gamecocks are hard for a team like hers to stop. We talk about the peaks and the valleys. If youve got good kids, you get out of the valleys quickly, which we do, she said. After Thanksgiving, well regroup.Talah Hughes led St. Peters with 11 points, its only double-figure scorer.THE BIG PICTURESt. Peters: The Peacocks had a terrible time in Columbia, losing all three games by awful margins: to Maine, 59-43; to Hampton, 71-42; and to the Gamecocks. St. Peters was out-rebounded by South Carolina 27-7 in the first two quarters and committed 12 turnovers. They let the Gamecocks shoot better than 68 percent in the first half. It looks like another long season for the Peacocks.South Carolina: The Gamecocks showed they be dangerous from the outside, too, to go along with their post success. Davis hit all four of her first-half 3-pointers. All seven Gamecocks who took shots in the first two quarters had a shooting percentage over .500. If South Carolina can knock down outside shots, it will add to the effectiveness of 6-5 Wilson and 6-4 Coates down low.POLL IMPLICATIONSFor South Carolina, its simple: Beat Louisville and stay No. 3 or higher. Lose to the Cardinals on Sunday and expect to slide down a few notches.HOT SHOOTINGThe Gamecocks finished with season highs in field goal shooting and three-point shooting. South Carolina hit 37 of 66 shots (56.1 percent) from the field while making 10 of 24 shots (41.7 percent) from behind the arc.SHE SAID ITFor me, its about bringing these kids to experience this environment. Were a mid-major and were not kidding anybody, Coyle said.UP NEXTSt. Peters takes on Bowling Green on Sunday in Springfield, Massachusetts.South Carolina faces No. 4 Louisville on Sunday in Springfield, Massachusetts.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.orgRuss Grimm Jersey .

Nathan Buck has become the fourth player to leave Lancashire since the end of the season as Ashley Giles, their director of cricket, rebuilds the countys playing staff. Cheap Jordans From China .Buck, who was released from his contract a year early, has joined Northamptonshire, the defending NatWest Blast champions, on a three-year deal.Last month, Lancashire announced seamers George Edwards and Gavin Griffiths along with opening batsman Luis Reece were not having their contracts renewed.Bucks two years at Lancashire have been largely unproductive. He joined them at the end of the 2014 season from Leicestershire, but suffered an injury-hit first season for the Club, featuring in just two games before spending last winter in Sydney playing grade cricket for Manly.He went on to play a further 17 games for Lancashire this season in all competitions, taking 12 wickets in this years NatWest T20 Blast including T20 career best figures of 4 for 26 at Edgbaston against the Birmingham Bears.Buck It will be a new challenge for me and Im looking forward to getting back to my best with some exciting cricket.Northants are a strong, tight-knit side that have done exceptionally well this season. I cant wait to be a part of it. Wholesale Authentic Jordans . Tuesdays surgery at Atlantas Piedmont Hospital was performed by Dr. Xavier Duralde and Hawks team physician Dr. Michael Bernot. Off White Vapormax 2018 .

Kerry, Two nights after the Scott-Eriksson incident in Buffalo, the Bruins returned home to play San Jose. In that game, Zdeno Chara put a check on Tommy Wingels that clearly targeted his head. The first leg of the greatest Heisman Trophy race in recent memory seemed to take place in sand or mud.The projected favorites werent awful by any measure, but not much came easily. Christian McCaffrey did some Christian McCaffrey things Friday at Stanford Stadium, including recording touchdown runs of 41 and 35 yards, but he had only 50 rush yards on his other 20 carries against a salty Kansas State defense. After a slow start, Leonard Fournette accounted for 68.5 percent of LSUs offensive production at Lambeau Field and finished with 138 yards on 23 carries in a loss to Wisconsin. Oklahomas Baker Mayfield completed his first nine pass attempts in a loss to Houston, a team buoyed by its own Heisman candidate, Greg Ward Jr. Clemsons Deshaun Watson didnt display his usual precision and dominance at Auburn, but he still fired a huge, fourth-quarter touchdown and re-established his chemistry with wideout Mike Williams.Its still quite possible that one of the top four candidates wins the Heisman in December. But Week 1 was underwhelming, according to their skyscraping standards. Fortunately, another group of players picked up the star power slack. Most impressively, these players did so in their first collegiate games.Week 1 will be remembered for dazzling debuts by freshmen, especially quarterbacks. Fittingly, opening weekend ended with Florida State redshirt freshman quarterback Deondre Francois rallying the Seminoles to the biggest comeback in team history against Ole Miss.Heres a look at some of the most impressive introductions by college footballs next batch of potential household names.Texas QB Shane BuecheleHe was the quarterback Texas fans wanted to see, and he led the offense they wanted to see. It all came together Sunday against Notre Dame, as Buechele passed for 280 yards and two touchdowns with an interception in Texas overtime win. Buechele, the first freshman quarterback to start a Texas opener since 1944, didnt flinch in the national spotlight and made big throws all night. He sparked a revamped Texas offense to 26 first downs and 517 yards.Buechele finished with a QBR of 83.1 and added 33 rush yards and a touchdown on five carries. Tyrone Swoopes will and should continue to have a big role, but this is Buecheles offense.Georgia QB Jacob EasonIts hard to upstage the triumphant return of Nick Chubb to Georgias offensive backfield, but Eason nearly did so with his debut. Although Georgia has an older, potentially safer option in Greyson Lambert, Bulldogs fans yearned for Eason, and he delivered, as he completed eight of 12 passes for 131 yards and a touchdown, including a beautiful, 51-yard strike to Isaiah McKenzie. Although coach Kirby Smart could continue to platoon Lambert and Eason, the teams future is the freshman, who avoided an interception against North Carolina and looked comfortable.Chubbs production is the biggest reason to be excited, but he shouldnt log 32 carries a game. If Eason provides a consistent downfield passing threat to complement Chubb, Georgia can lean on its offense for big things this fall.Florida State QB Deondre FrancoisIf Florida State goes on to the College Football Playoff, we will remember Francois standing his ground despite an impending hit from Marquis Haynes and firing a 16-yard touchdown to Travis Rudolph with 28 seconds left in the first half Monday against Ole Miss. Jordan Concord 11 2018. The scoring strike set off a 33-0 Florida State run that erased a 22-point deficit.Thrust into a starting role after Sean Maguires preseason injury, Francois overcame early struggles to show toughness, talent and poise. He finished with 420 yards passing and two touchdowns on 33-of-52 passing. Francois sealed the win with a 20-yard run, which gave him 59 rushing yards for the game.Alabama QB Jalen HurtsHurts showed why he was the talk of Tide training camp when he accounted for four touchdowns (two passing, two rushing) in a season-opening blowout of USC. His age and skill set are unique for a Nick Saban quarterback, but Hurts gives Alabamas offense a different look while answering a familiar question at the quarterback position. No Tide quarterback had recorded multiple passing touchdowns and rushing touchdowns in a game since Tyler Watts in 2001.Although Hurts passing numbers (6-of-11, 118 yards, 49.4 QBR) werent astounding, he didnt look overwhelmed by the moment. Its important for Alabama to find clarity at quarterback before a Week 3 trip to recent nemesis Ole Miss.Houston DT Ed OliverBig 12 coaches thought Houstons offense could hang with Oklahomas, but the Sooners rushing attack of Samaje Perine and Joe Mixon?proved to be the difference. Thanks to Oliver, possibly the most decorated recruit in program history, Houston shut down the OU ground game and allowed just 70 yards on 26 carries (2.7 ypc). Oliver triggered the pass rush with two of Houstons five sacks and led defensive linemen in the game with seven tackles.Houstons defense was vastly underrated entering the season, and Olivers instant emergence helps offset some key personnel losses as the Cougars make a potential playoff push.Some other notable freshmen performances included:Florida State K Ricky Aguayo: Different Aguayo, same results. Ricky followed his record-setting brother, Roberto, with a record-setting Seminoles debut against Ole Miss and became the first kicker at Kicker U to make six field goals in a game. No other FBS kicker made more than four field goals in Week 1.Oregon LB Troy Dye: The Ducks defense remains a work-in-progress, but Dye provided a major spark Saturday, with 4.5 tackles for loss, the most in the FBS in Week 1, as well as a blocked field goal and 11 total tackles against UC Davis. He earned Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week honors.Minnesota DE Taiyon Devers: Few defenders impacted a Week 1 game more than Devers, who recorded two sacks and two forced fumbles in Minnesotas 30-23 win over Oregon State. Both forced fumbles led to Gophers touchdowns.Iowa DE Anthony Nelson: Why wasnt Devers the Big Tens freshman of the week? Because Nelson upstaged him with 2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and a pass breakup in Iowas opening win over Miami (Ohio). Both forced fumbles led to Hawkeyes touchdowns.Ohio State RB Mike Weber: Despite lingering depth concerns, Ohio State appears to be in good shape with Weber, who gained 136 yards on only 17 carries in his collegiate debut against Bowling Green. At 5-foot-10 and 212 pounds, Weber is a bowling ball of a back who isnt much fun to tackle. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys AuthenticWholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '

Nico Hulkenberg is determined to cap his final race for Force India with a celebration by helping the team secure fourth in the championship at Abu Dhabi. 2017 Nike Free RN Distance 2 Mens/Womens Legion Green/Palm Green/Black/White .Hulkenberg is leaving Force India for Renault, having driven at the team for the three years since 2014 and for a single season in 2012. The team is on the verge of its best-ever constructors championship finish, with Williams needing an unlikely 27-point swing to deny Force India fourth position.Hulkenberg is expecting an emotional send-off at his final race and is determined to go out in style.The final race of the season is always special, but this year even more so, Hulkenberg said. It will be my final race with the team, so it will be emotional to work with the crew and the other team members for one last time. People move around teams a lot in Formula One, so I know its a goodbye and not a farewell.I want to enjoy this last race together and make sure it turns into a celebration: I want us to confirm fourth place in the championship, then we will see a lot of big smiles on everyones faces and be proud of what we achieved together.Force India has already confirmed Hulkenbergs replacement, having signed Manor driver and Mercedes junior Esteban Ocon to partner Sergio Perez in 2017. Saucony Womens Shoes Sale . - Derek Wolfe says hes finally healthy after suffering a seizure in November that doctors now believe was related to the spinal cord injury he suffered in the preseason. Nike Free Run Rn Flyknit .

From filmmaker Nanette Burstein (On the Ropes), The Price of Gold revisits the saga that rocked the figure skating world ahead of the 1994 Lillehammer Olympic Winter Games: the assault on Nancy Kerrigan, and the plot that led its way back to her rival Tonya Harding.Ferraris hopes of challenging Mercedes for the world title in 2016 received another boost as Sebastian Vettel ended winter testing top of the timesheet. The Scuderias new SF16-H has proved quickest on five of the eight test days in Spain and Vettels fastest lap on supersoft tyres on Friday, 1:22.852, was the second quickest of the whole winter.Title favourites Mercedes had only given a glimpse of their W07s true pace before the final day and again chose not to engage in any qualifying simulations on Pirellis softest tyres. The stunning reliability of the new W07 has allowed Mercedes to rack up over 3,500 miles of Barcelonas Circuit de Catalunya - but the car finally broke down just before the lunch break when a transmission problem meant Hamiltons pre-season ended by the side of the track. World champion Lewis Hamilton says qualifying changes make no sense to him at the moment and adds he is not willing to use the new Halo device However, world champion Lewis Hamilton told Sky Sports News HQ: Im glad l broke it! Its better to break it now than in Melbourne. I pushed the car here and there but Australia is when l will really get to open it up.Its been an incredible two weeks for the team. They have done an amazing job. Weve done more mileage than ever before - which has been tiring! Whats the 2016 pecking order? Crunching the numbers and analysing the lap times from F1s winter testing Hamilton ended up on 69 laps before Nico Rosberg took over the W07 once it was repaired for the afternoon, with the German focusing solely on heavy-fuel long running as he set the slowest time of all.In addition to Vettel, the three other drivers who finished ahead of Mercedes on the timesheet ran softer tyres. Toro Rossos promising pre-season ended with Carlos Sainz setting the second-fastest time, a 1:23.134 which was just four tenths of a second slower than the winters best time set by Kimi Raikkonen.Felipe Massa was third for Williams after they ran their short stints in the afternoon, the Brazilian finishing just a tenth ahead of Force Indias Sergio Perez on the same supersoft tyres.Behind sixth-fastestt Daniel Ricciardo - who was one of six drivers to clear a century of laps - were McLaren as the teams much-improved pre-season ended with the MP4-31 again running reliably. Womens Saucony Jazz Original Retro Sneakers Green White. Jenson Button racked up a healthy 121 laps but lapped 1.8 seconds slower than Ferrari on the same ultrasoft tyres. We are not running the 2016 spec here, said McLaren racing director Eric Boullier. We are a bit behind the programme.So that means we are going to turn up in Australia with more bits on the car that have unfortunately not been signed off here. But it is what it is - we have been able to run most of the days, which is very good news. Every race live in 2016 Sky Sports F1 brings you every race live in 2016.
