GREENVILLE, N. Max Pacioretty Jersey .C. -- The wins keep coming for East Carolina against Atlantic Coast Conference teams, only now with a new coach passionately pushing the Pirates from the sideline.Anthony Scott scored the go-ahead touchdown with 5:49 left to help ECU beat North Carolina State 33-30 on Saturday for the programs sixth straight win against ACC opponents.The Pirates (2-0), an American Athletic Conference member, have now beaten N.C. State (1-1), North Carolina and Virginia Tech twice each dating to the 2013 season.People want to talk down or look down on us like were a scrub team, receiver Zay Jones said. And thats fine. But when youve got to come out here and play football, thats the only thing that matters.You can talk all you want. Youve got to talk with your pads. Thats what we did today.The Pirates missed two shots at a field goal, had two turnovers and even had Scott drop a sure TD when he got behind the Wolfpacks defense. But on a hot day backed by a rowdy home crowd, they did enough after blowing a 12-0 lead and falling behind 30-26 early in the fourth.They were as physical as advertised, East Carolina coach Scottie Montgomery said. A lot of times we couldnt get them on the ground, sometimes we couldnt block them. But what we did do today, we played together.Scott scored twice for ECU along with James Summers, whose second TD was a 15-yarder that saw him running through hits and dragging tacklers into the end zone.N.C. State got a final chance from its own 38-yard line with 51 seconds left and no timeouts. After crossing midfield, Ryan Finleys 22-yard pass over the middle to BraLon Cherry killed the final seconds. ECU players spilled onto the field to celebrate while Montgomery crossed his arms into a crossbones-style celebration toward the Pirates crowd.Matt Dayes ran for 103 yards for the Wolfpack, while Finley, Jaylen Samuels and Reggie Gallaspy II each ran for touchdowns.I told our team that we had our chances, that we were not opportunistic at key moments, Wolfpack coach Dave Doeren said.THE TAKEAWAYN.C. STATE: While N.C. States new offense racked up 497 yards, its defense struggled to keep up in its first true test. That doesnt bode well with a schedule that only gets tougher with No. 2 Clemson, No. 3 Florida State, No. 13 Louisville, No. 18 Notre Dame and No. 25 Miami still to come.I told them, `Weve got 10 games left and we can decide what we want to do with them right now, Doeren said. Im not pointing fingers at them. I said, `I lost the game, you lost the game, we lost the game. We need to get back to work and go win one together.EAST CAROLINA: Montgomerys first big win is sure to charge up the Pirates fans and give the program a jolt of confidence in the midst of a tough nonconference slate. Not to mention some stuck-it-to-the-big-boys bounce in the step.MISTAKES ABOUNDN.C. States list of miscues included a 2-point conversion play that went nowhere, a stuffed fake field goal, two missed kicks, even a 15-yard sideline interference penalty on a drive that ended with Scotts 25-yard TD catch.We have to be a more mature team and at the moment of truth, we have to do all the things right to become a better team, Doeren said.AGGRESSIVE PLAYCALLINGThe Pirates converted all three fourth-down opportunities in the first half, including a fourth-and-1 from their own 34.My heart was probably racing a little too much in the first half, Montgomery said. You go for it on fourth down three times in one half, you just want to make sure you give your kids the best opportunity to win.UP NEXTN.C. STATE: The Wolfpack continues the nonconference schedule with a home game against Old Dominion. N.C. State has won the only two meetings, 46-34 at home in 2014 and 38-14 on the road last year.EAST CAROLINA: The Pirates travel to South Carolina, the second of three straight against power-conference opponents.---Follow Aaron Beard on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/aaronbeardap and the APs college football site at http://collegefootball.ap.or g Dickie Moore Jersey .

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- The No. 11 Texas A&M Aggies succumbed to an 83rd minute goal, dropping a 1-0 decision to the No. 15 UCLA Bruins in front of the third-largest crowd in school history.The Aggies drew 5,875 for their annual Fish Camp Night, a tally that ranks ninth in the NCAA Division I record books for non-NCAA Tournament match attendance.The Bruins scored the lone goal of the match with 7:58 remaining in the second half. MacKenzie Cerda started the scoring play at the left of the penalty arc. She sent a pass across the top of the box to Anika Rodriguez on the right side of the arc. Rodriguez took one dribble and slotted a pass to Chloe Castaneda entering the penalty box from the right corner. She found a shooting window and fired from 15 yards, hitting the right upper 90 for the 1-0 lead.UCLA had an opportunity to add another goal in the 85th minute, but Texas A&M goalkeeper Danielle Rice stonewalled Annie Alvarado on a penalty kick to keep the score at 1-0.Rice came up with five saves on the afternoon, as did UCLAs Teagan Micah who recorded her second shutout of the season.For the match, Texas A&M owned an 11-8 edgee in corner kicks, but were unable to convert the opportunities into goal.

Bates got a foot on it, but was upended by late-arriving defender Kaiya McCullough, forcing the shot just wide right.The Aggies came out of the intermission with a flurry, Bates and Pounds ripping off menacing shots, with Bates coming from six-yards, but Micah made saves on both efforts in the first three minutes of the second half.Cienna Arrieta forced Micah to make a pair of brilliant, one on a ripped shot from 20 yards in the 57th minute and another on a point-blank corner kick header in the 58th minute.The Aggies return to action Sunday when they host the Tulsa Golden Hurricane in a 6 pm match at Ellis Field.

BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Orioles scored a big victory over the first-place Toronto Blue Jays Tuesday night. Cameron Payne Jersey . Now, the question is, can Baltimore come up with one more in Wednesdays finale of this crucial series.Matt Wieters hit a tie-breaking eighth-inning homer, giving the Orioles a 5-3 victory on Tuesday. That brought Baltimore (72-60) to within three games of the Jays (75-57) and one behind Boston (73-59), who also lost Tuesday.Orioles manager Buck Showalter said there is no doubt that was a big win but the Orioles also need another Wednesday and more after that.If you look at who youre playing and who youre chasing, and how many games are left, Im not going to deny that storyline, Showalter said. But its still another ... its part of the journey and a part of the challenge that you face trying to do what were trying to do.Wieters put it very simply when asked about the importance of the series finale. He said that theyve got to put the dramatic Tuesday victory away.Weve got to come back and win another one tomorrow, Wieters said.Toronto manager John Gibbons said his team is very much aware of what is coming in the final weeks -- American League East baseball.In fact, 24 of the Jays last 31 games will be in the division. So he said its about continuing to play good baseball at the right time. The Jays got hot late last year and ran to the division title -- and its looking like theyre starting to do something like that again.We know what were up against, some good teams, teams that we always have battles against, Gibbons said. So you never feel great. Youve still got to play them. Really, anybody gets hot at the right time, or cools off...a lot of teams, thats all it takes sometimes. Theres not a lot of games left but there is a lot of games left.The Jays will send right-hander Aaron Sanchez (12-2, 2.99 ERA) to the mound versus Baltimore right-hander Yovani Gallardo (4-6, 5.69 ERA) on Wednesday.Toronto has been watching Sanchezs innings count carefully as he was mostly a reliever before this season and hadnt pitched more than 92 1/3 innings in a season.But Sanchez already is at 156 1/3 innings over 24 starts, and the Jays last started him on Aug. 20. He had been sent down to Class A Dunedin to do some work since then, and this will be his first major-league appearance since that start.Gallardo has struggled off and on all season. He pitched better in four straight starts before giving up eight runs in 1 1/3 innings in the Aug. 26 loss against the Yankees in New York.Adam Jones has missed four straight games for Baltimore with a strained hamstring but Showalter said he is close to returning.Toronto will need to open a spot for Sanchez, and Gibbons said Tuesday night that Darwin Barney is going home to take care of some personal business. Ryan Goins will join the team and take his spot. Dennis Rodman Jersey .

LAS VEGAS -- Polish sensation Joanna Jedrzejdczyk defended her UFC strawweight title for the third time at The Ultimate Fighter 23 Finale, weathering an early storm from rival Claudia Gadelha en route to a unanimous decision Friday.Jedrzejczyk (12-0) surrendered takedowns in each of the first three rounds but avoided taking significant damage and forced Gadelha to expend a lot of energy in the process. As usual, she was brilliant on the feet and eventually ran away on the scorecards in the later rounds.The three judges scoring the fight all had it for the champion: 48-45, 48-46 and 48-46. ESPN.com also scored it 48-46 for Jedrzejczyk.It was the second meeting between the 115-pound rivals. They met in a three-round bout in December 2014. Jedrzejczyk picked up a narrow split decision and would go on to win the UFC championship in her next fight. Although the two exchanged words as recent coaches on TUF, they showed mutual respect after the fight.We knew it would be a real tough fight, Jedrzejczyk said. I said after our first fight, shes No. 1 and I am champion. I have so much respect for her.Gadelha, who trains out of Nova Uniao in Rio de Janeiro, embraced Jedrzejczyk after the scorecards were read. The 27-year-olds UFC record fell to 2-2.Things looked promising for Gadelha in the first two rounds, as her wrestling heavily dictated where the fight went. In addition to the grappling, she actually dropped Jedrzejczyk in the opening seconds with a left hook, but the champion recovered quickly.The momentum started to turn in the third. Gadelha walked into a stinging counter right hand that put her on her back foot for the first time. With the space to finally work, Jedrzejczyk opened up with kicks to the legs and body. She utilized her reach advantage well, popping Gadelhha with the jab. Dwyane Wade Jersey. Gadelha started to breathe heavily in the third but managed to mount one big moment late in the round when she wobbled Jedrzejczyk with an elbow near the fence. Jedrzejczyk was in phenomenal shape, however, and went on to dominate the last two rounds.According to Fightmetric, Jedrzejczyk out-landed Gadelha in total strikes 234 to 78. In the fourth round alone, she landed 75 to Gadelhas six.Jedrzejczyk improves to 6-0 in the UFC. ESPN.com ranked Jedrzejczyk the No. 2 pound-for-pound fighter in the world coming into the contest.Brooks victorious in UFC debutFormer Bellator MMA lightweight champion Will Brooks (18-1) picked up a unanimous decision victory against Ross Pearson (19-11) in his UFC debut. Brooks wasnt overly impressive and appeared hurt by punches in the third round, but he controlled pace and range well to earn unanimous 29-28 scores.Brooks, 29, signed with the UFC last month. He vacated the Bellator 155-pound title in May and secured his release from the promotion. He looked at ease in his debut in the Octagon, as he kept Pearson guessing in the opening rounds and used his wrestling to secure a takedown in the second frame.An aggressive Pearson stunned Brooks with a left hand midway through the third round. He followed with an effective kick to the body and a flurry along the fence, but Brooks covered up and eventually circled out of trouble.Brooks won the Bellator title in 2014, after it was vacated by current UFC champion Eddie Alvarez. After the win, Brooks mentioned a future fight against Alvarez.You got away from me in another organization, Brooks said.The victory was Brooks ninth straight win.

SALT LAKE CITY -- Once Joe Williams turns on his full speed, few people have a realistic chance of keeping up with the Utah running back.Williams hammered that point home during the spring. He blew away all other returning Utes players in the 40-yard dash, clocking in at 4.35 seconds. The next-fastest 40 times were posted by receiver Kyle Fulks (4.44), fellow running back Troy McCormick (4.46) and receiver Kenric Young (4.46).I always pride myself on being fast, Williams said. Its one of my (best) qualities. Me and Troy McCormick go back and forth to see whos the fastest kid and I got him this past spring. Ill take that off into the season and see how that goes.Can Williams translate that speed and elusiveness into major production for Utahs offense this season? Thats the vision the Utes have for the senior in 2016.Williams entered Day 1 of Utahs fall football camp Thursday as the leader in the race to replace Devontae Booker as the teams backfield workhorse. He got a taste of what that job entails when Booker went down with a season-ending knee injury against Arizona late last season.Williams started the final three games for Utah. He rushed for 399 yards and three touchdowns on 85 carries in those starts. He finished third on the team in all-purpose yards (561 yards) in limited action.Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said Williams enters fall camp as the lead back for the Utes. McCormick, who sat out last season following knee surgery, will also see time in the backfield and at slot receiver. Whittingham expects to see Williams flourish in his second season in the program.Hes a whole different ball player right now than he was at this time last year, Whittingham said. Much more confident. Obviously, a lot of that is with knowledge of the offense. And, physically, hes much stronger. Hes bigger and hes stronger than when he got here.If Williams can pick up where he left off, it should lend some stability to a Utah offense looking to fill holes at several skill positionss. Evan Turner Jersey. The Utes have three players -- junior Troy Williams, redshirt sophomore Brandon Cox and freshman Tyler Huntley -- battling for the starting quarterback job. Utah also must replace its top two receivers from last season.Receiver became an even bigger question mark when Utah announced Thursday that senior Cory Butler-Byrd was suspended indefinitely from the team. Butler-Byrd remains on scholarship but is banned from participating in team activities until the suspension is lifted.Williams knows he needs to be ready to carry a big load and he has been working to mentally prepare himself to be a lead back this season. He has focused on improving his nutrition, getting stronger in the weight room and doing all the little things in practice to improve his running and blocking in pass protection.I came in last year as a JUCO kid and it was little baby steps, Williams said. But this year I feel like I can take off.Teammates feel confident that having Williams and McCormick in the backfield will keep the Utes from suffering any drop-off in the run game. Both players have enough breakaway speed when they find a hole to turn a five-yard run into a 60-yard play. Williams demonstrated that trait plenty of times in his starts late last season. McCormick gives Utah a similar weapon.Behind an offensive line returning four starters and boasting its best depth since joining the Pac-12, that could be a winning formula as the passing game develops. Booker dominated opposing defenses behind the same line a season ago.Its always great to have elusive backs, left guard Issac Asiata said. You never know where Troy and Joe are going to go. Theyre so slippery. Whoever is there, if they can get the job done, its all the same to me.Utahs fall football camp continues through Aug. 20. The Utes open the 2016 season at home against Southern Utah on Sept. 1.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Noah Vonleh Jersey . -- The longest regular-season win streak in the NFL these days belongs not to the Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos, the NFC champion Carolina Panthers or the perennially contending New England Patriots.It belongs to the Kansas City Chiefs.The team of Alex Smith, Jamaal Charles and Co. that lost to the Patriots in the playoffs last season has not dropped a regular-season game since Oct. 18, 2015. And that means the Chiefs carry a 10-game streak into a season full of optimism that begins against the San Diego Chargers on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium.It was such a good run last year and we felt like we had so much more in the tank, Chiefs center Mitch Morse said. We are ready to prove ourselves this year and go all the way. Thats the ultimate goal, and anything less is unsatisfactory.The Chiefs certainly hope to get off to a better start. After winning their opener in Houston a year ago, they proceeded to lose five straight games, a run of misfortune that included the loss of Charles to a season-ending knee injury.But behind the calming poise of Smith, the running duo of Charcandrick West and Spencer Ware, and a top-flight defense, the Chiefs pieced together one of the best stretches in franchise history. Not only did they return to the playoffs, they also won their first postseason game in nearly three decades.Now, they want to take another step.The ultimate goal, veteran pass rusher Tamba Hali said, is to win a championship here.As the Chiefs prepare for their season opener, here are the dominant story lines:INJURY WATCH: Pro Bowl linebacker Justin Houston will not be back until at least midway through the season after having surgery to repair a knee ligament in February. The Chiefs have also been cautious with Charles and Hali, both of whom are coming off their own knee surgeries.Im ready for whatever the coaches ask, said Charles, who likely will sit out the opener. Im ready, happy and looking forward to getting on the field. When my time comes, its going to come.SHARING THE LOAD: Charles, West and Ware give the Chiefs three running backs capable of carrying the load, so it will be interesting to see whether there are enough carries to go around. Charles is the most complete of the three, but the scatter-bug West and bruising Ware offer a nice change of paceAll of those guys have different things that they do well, co-offensive coordinator Brad Childress said. We expect them to do the same type of things.DEFENSIVE QUESTION MARKS: The absence of Houston and Halis age and health make the pass rush a significant question mark. Former first-round pick Dee Ford has not lived up to expectations, and a season-ending hip injury to middle linebacker Josh Mauga leaves the linebackers corps in flux.The Chiefs may need to generate quarterback pressure from Jaye Howard, Dontari Poe, Allen Bailey and rookie Chris Jones, who together form one of the leagues best defensive lines.We continue to come out and do a lot of good things, Poe said. I feel like we can be the best weve ever been since Ive been here. I feel like if we keep pushing well be right where we want to be.BUCKLING DOWN: There are also questions in the secondary, where second-year pro Steven Nelson and Phillip Gaines have been competing for the starting cornerback spot opposite Defensive Rookie of the Year Marcus Peters.Eric Berry should provide some leadership, but will he be rusty early on? The All-Pro safety did not sign his franchise tender and report to training camp until Aug. 31, so he missed all of the preseason.The only thing is just getting used to so many bodies flying around, NFL bodies, he said. You try to fill it in with high school players and other people that are around training, but its different when you have 11 guys on the field that know what theyre doing and know where to be. Things tend to move a little faster, so just getting that rust knocked off and adjusting quickly.CALLING THE SHOTS: Chiefs coach Andy Reid will continue to have the final say on offense, but hell have new voices helping him out. Offensive coordinator Doug Pederson is now the head coach in Philadelphia, so Childress is sharing duties with Matt Nagy. But both coaches insisted very little has changed.Theres some staples to our offense, but we grow, Nagy said. We adapt to the players that we have, and (Reid) is very creative. He does a good job of mixing guys around -- mixing and matching. So thats a part of keeping the game fun as well.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Clyde Drexler Jersey .

OLYMPICSRIO DE JANEIRO -- Just days ahead of the Olympic Games the waterways of Rio de Janeiro are as filthy as ever, contaminated with raw human sewage teeming with dangerous viruses and bacteria, according to a 16-month-long study commissioned by The Associated Press.Not only are some 1,400 athletes at risk of getting violently ill in water competitions, but the APs tests indicate that tourists also face potentially serious health risks on the golden beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana.The APs survey of the aquatic Olympic and Paralympic venues has revealed consistent and dangerously high levels of viruses from the pollution, a major black eye on Rios Olympic project that set off alarm bells among sailors, rowers and open-water swimmers.Since the AP released the initial results last July, athletes have been taking elaborate precautions to prevent illnesses that could potentially knock them out of the competition, including preventatively taking antibiotics, bleaching oars and donning plastic suits and gloves in a bid to limit contact with the water.RIO DE JANEIRO -- The kidnapping of Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestones mother-in-law was allegedly planned by one of his helicopter pilots, Sao Paulo police said.Police said Jorge Eurico da Silva Faria took care of F1 helicopter operations in Sao Paulo until 2014 but still often worked for Ecclestone in Brazil. The pilot was among three men arrested by police in connection with the kidnapping.Police found 67-year-old Aparecida Schunck, who had been held since Friday last week, tied up but unharmed in a house on the outskirts of Sao Paulo on Sunday.Schunck is the mother of Fabiana Flosi, married to Ecclestone since 2012.Sao Paulo, Brazils largest city and the center of commerce, for decades has had problems with people being kidnapped and held for ransom, but a dedicated police task force reduced the crime over the last 15 years.The incident came just ahead of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Authorities say they are deploying 85,000 troops and soldiers during the Aug. 5-21 competition.RIO DE JANEIRO -- IOC President Thomas Bach issued another defense of his handling of the Russian doping scandal, saying the decision not to exclude the entire Russian team from the Rio de Janeiro Olympics was based on human rights and justice.Bach used his speech at the opening ceremony of the IOCs general assembly to address the continuing criticism of the Olympic bodys response to evidence of state-sponsored doping in Russia, declaaring that individual athletes cannot be punished for the wrongdoing of their government. Terry Porter Jersey. his decision is about justice, Bach said. Justice has to be independent from politics. Whoever responds to a violation of the law with another violation of the law is destroying justice.Rejecting calls from anti-doping bodies for a total ban on Russia, the IOC instead gave international sports federations the authority to rule on the entry of individual Russian athletes. The IOC also ruled that any Russian athletes with prior doping sanctions could not compete in the Rio Games, which open Friday.BASEBALLJonathan Lucroy got a deal he liked, Carlos Beltran joined him in Texas and Jay Bruce and Rich Hill also moved during an 18-swap frenzy at the trade deadline.Matt Moore, Francisco Liriano and Joe Smith found new homes, too, as playoff contenders stocked up for the stretch.Monday was the busiest deadline day since at least 1995, eclipsing the 15 deals made on the final day for non-waiver trades in 2010 and 2015, according to Major League Baseball.Teams had until 4 p.m. EDT to make trades without waivers. From now, no player can be dealt unless he goes unclaimed by everyone else.Bruce was traded to the Mets, and Hill went with Josh Reddick to the Dodgers. Moore was traded to the Giants for Matt Duffy, Liriano was sent to the Blue Jays and Smith will now pitch from the Cubs bullpen.LOS ANGELES -- Yasiel Puig expects to be sent to the minors on Tuesday after the Los Angeles Dodgers were unable to trade him at the deadline, according to his agent.Adam Katz said he was told Puig didnt show up to Dodger Stadium before the club departed on its road trip to Colorado. Katz said the Cuban slugger wasnt there because the Dodgers didnt expect him to be on their big-league roster for Tuesdays game.Puig followed the Dodgers wishes when he didnt show up to the stadium, manager Dave Roberts told The Associated Press.Los Angeles picked up Josh Reddick from Oakland on Monday, possibly squeezing the oft-injured, struggling Puig out of a job in right field.(Puig) did what the organization asked him to do, Roberts said in a text message. We didnt want him to come to the ballpark because we knew he wasnt going to Denver with us. We were looking for more production from that position, so we acquired a player who is having a really good year and great track record.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 ' ' '

Renault is looking to 2017 as an opportunity to make significant progress but has warned that it is doing so from an inferior starting point that its rivals. Caleb Swanigan Jersey .Renault has scored just six points on its return to Formula One as a constructor this year after taking over the Lotus team last winter. Uncertainty over the Enstone teams future at the end of 2015 resulted in a lack of investment in this years car, which is essentially the 2015 Lotus with a Renault engine.Changes to the technical regulations for 2017 create an opportunity for teams to move up the grid, but Renaults team principal Fred Vasseur says his teams development starts from a lower base than its rivals.Yes, we do consider 2017 a good opportunity for us, he told Formula Ones official website. Right now we are using a 2015-designed car that was built around a Mercedes engine, so when switching to a Renault engine we suffered from the very beginning.It is a fact that we are not building the 2017 car based on the 2016 one, but on the 2015 car -- and that is a lot of catching-up! But as I just said, 2017 holds a good opportunity for us. Yes, right now it is a bit stressful to manage such a huge gap based on the structure that we have - but we are working hard on it.Vasseur stressed that Renaults plans for success are long term, spanning over the next five seasons.Outsiders probably dont have the same understanding of the situation: if you want to be successful, you sometimes have to bite the bullet, he added. This is a long-term project -- we need to build up a completely new team.If somebody joins at the end of 2016 he will design the car of 2018, so this in itself is a time that has to be considered. Yes, right now we are improving on track -- we already have a better organisation than at the start of the season, so we are moving forward -- but again: we will get results in mid-term and not next week.And Vasseur admitted he is resigned to Renaults current ninth place in the constructors championship.Well, the pecking order seems quite clear and it will be difficult to change it, as we are not working on the car. So unless a gift comes from God I dont know how we should jump ahead. Portland Trail Blazers Jerseys .

Brisbane chief Greg Swann says the Lions are willing to put the No. Matt Schaub Jersey .2 pick in this years AFL draft on the table for the right deal.The Lions are looking to rebuild their lacklustre list following another terrible season, culminating in the sacking of coach Justin Leppitsch who has been replaced by former Hawthorn football boss Chris Fagan.Its definitely on the table, and if it helps get us something we think is going to make us better, then well look to do that, Swann told SEN radio on Thursday.Our preference is we want to go to the draft and keep building from underneath. Thats the thing for us. We think the last couple of years, weve brought in some really good young talented players.We still need some experienced players to make us competitive ... and there might be one or two others that well have a look as the trade period unfolds.Essendon hold the No.1 pick in this years draft but have signalled they wont trade the selection.Brisbane, who have also appointed a new football boss in David Noble, have declared they are willing to deal senior players in exchange for first-round draft picks after finishing in the bottom four for a third-straight season.Captain Tom Rockliff has declared he wants to stay put and looks unlikely to be moved despite speculation about his future.Midfielder Pearce Hanley has met with Gold Coast and will be traded if an appropriate deal can be struck, Swann said.Weve had two pretty poor years and so youve got to make changes to your list, he said.I think thats just a given.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- A few weeks ago, Michael Jordan helped induct Russell Westbrook into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame and called himself a fan of the Thunder guards game.Now, Westbrook has accomplished something no one has since Jordan -- he became the first player with five consecutive triple-doubles since Jordan had seven straight in 1989.

Cheap Padres Jerseys Online .In its place, Mary Hardin-Baylor will play in its first Stagg Bowl since 2004 -- the season before Mount Unions 11-year streak began.Mary Hardin-Baylor converted a first down on fake punt with 45 seconds left and the Crusaders upset defending champion Mount Union 14-12 on Saturday in the Division III semifinals.The Crusaders last title game ended in a 28-21 defeat to Linfield.

Cheap Padres Jerseys Authentic . -- Jakob Silfverberg is making himself right at home with the Anaheim Ducks, scoring four goals in his first four games. http://www.wholesalepadresjerseys.com/ . The showiest items on Calgarys lot were forwards Mike Cammalleri and Lee Stempniak. Both will be unrestricted free agents this summer. Two sides of the Adelaide Football Club show themselves in the aftermath of a 62-point elimination final thrashing of North Melbourne on Saturday night.First there is respect: in the form of a guard of honour for the quartet of retiring Kangaroos, led dolefully off Adelaide Oval by the AFLs games record holder Brent Harvey.Later, there is ambition: the team song sung in recognition of a finals victory to advance the Crows to the same staging post they reached in 2015 is a rather flat rendition, reeking of the sense that more remains to be done. A bad game against West Coast in the last minor round tipped Adelaide out of the top four, but it did not dent the belief that this team is capable of much more.Weve touched on that already as a group, said Tom Lynch, a key man in the Crows formidable forward line and kicker of four goals on Saturday night. We want big things this year and this is just the first box weve been able to tick but weve got three more games hopefully to win.That [Eagles] game was really disappointing, it was really not our way. Sometimes after those games you just want to get out there straight away. It was great to have a six-day break but we just had the bye and it probably made us think about it a bit more, but to the boys credit we were able to put that behind us and focus on this week and put on a pretty good performance.We had some proud guys who were disappointed the way they played individually, but as a collective as well. We were able to rectify that, weve been able to bounce back from most of our losses this year and have good wins. Hopefully we can get on a bit of a roll now and have an impact.The Crows were heavily favoured to beat North Melbourne with good reason - the Kangaroos had limped into the finals, and the Adelaide deficiencies exposed by West Coast were unlikely to be tested by a team with so few recent wins behind them. But they took their time to find fluency: big advantages in possession and forward entries were offset by indifferent kicking for goal, and enough turnovers to mean the game was overmuch in the balance at halftime.Finals footy is always about contests and pressure, said Lynch, and thats what we base our game on and turning the ball over. At times we wished wed kicked a little straighter but most of those shots were long shots, so it wasnt like we were inaccurate and missing easy goals.Well have to look at that and address how we can get some deep entries. When we needed to put the foot down we were able to tonight, but theyre a quality side and to their credit they were able too keep working hard in the contest. Wholesale Padres Jerseys. When the arm wrestle was in play we were just able to hold them at bay a bit more than they were for us.Over time, Adelaide found their range. Forward entries did get deeper, shots on goal were more precise, and the Adelaide Oval faithful found their most raucous voice to send their team hurtling towards Sydney with plenty of momentum.Lynch and the rest of the forward line ended the night looking threatening once more, not the thwarted combination restricted to 10.11 by the Eagles. A final tally of 21.15 was near enough to twice as good. This was as much down to team play as individual heroics, though Eddie Betts six goals were as memorable as ever.Thats a strength of our whole forward line, guys are really trying to bring others into the game and a really unselfish group, Lynch said. To play in that front six or anywhere on the ground thats the mindset youve to have otherwise you just dont fit in.Tex [Taylor Walker] and Eddie had great nights, Josh Jenkins competed really hard as did Mitch McGovern and Charlie Cameron was electric - those guys all played their role and made sure when it was their moment to step up they were able to do so.How much this was to do with the pre-finals bye is a question still swirling. Certainly Kyle Cheney and Luke Brown were better for the week off. But in the considered opinion of the coach Don Pyke the break had offered another important edge for his men - the chance to train with both quality and quantity, at a time of the year when injury management and recovery schedules can impact skills and team patterns.We had opportunities to have four really good sessions with our guys, Pyke said. Off the two six-day breaks we had, they dont allow you the opportunity to train too much. The last two weeks weve had some really good training.Its like a cricketer going out to bat, he wants to be in the nets and hitting balls so hes confident he can do it. Our guys like to be able to train so we can train the things we need to work on and take confidence from that in the games. The two weeks gave us an opportunity to do that.The cricket metaphor was apt for a club now overmuch at home on Adelaide Oval. To go any further in this finals series the Crows will need to play straight and punish the loose balls at the SCG, against a chastened Sydney Swans. That match will provide another chance to measure the club in terms of respect and ambition.
