OKLAHOMA CITY -- Tired wasnt an option for Russell Westbrook on Friday night. Tyler Pitlick Jersey .The explosive point guard had 51 points in a triple-double and scored the winning points in the Oklahoma City Thunders 113-110 overtime victory over the Phoenix Suns. He played just over 45 minutes and never slowed down.Youve got to want to win, he said. Very simple. When you want to win, you dont think about being tired. To me, being tired is a mind thing. Its in your mind. Youve got to go out there and compete at a high level and leave it on the floor.According to the Thunder, it was the first 50-point triple-double since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had one in 1975. Westbrook finished with 13 rebounds and 10 assists and took a career-high 44 shots to claim his 38th career triple-double.It was the franchises first game without Kevin Durant on the roster since it moved to Oklahoma City in 2008. Durant left in the offseason to play for the Golden State Warriors. In Oklahoma Citys home opener, Westbrook reminded the fans that theres still star power in town.Westbrook made a layup to put the Thunder up a point with 7.6 seconds remaining. Phoenixs Devin Booker missed a layup and Westbrook was fouled. Westbrook scored his 50th and 51st points at the free-throw line with 3.5 seconds remaining. Booker missed a 3-pointer as time expired.Westbrook was 17 of 44 from the field, 2 of 10 from 3-point range and made 15 of 20 free throws. He scored 39 points in the second half and overtime.Thats what he does, Booker said. He is an aggressive scorer. One of the best players in the league. We knew that coming in here.T.J. Warren had a career-high 30 points for the Suns.Westbrook tied it at 59 on a layup and free throw early in the third, but the Suns responded with a 12-0 run. Westbrook kept the Thunder in it with 23 points in the third quarter on 7-for- 12 shooting, but the Suns led 83-77 heading into the fourth.Westbrook returned from a rest with 8:50 remaining and the Thunder trailing 89-81. Four minutes later, his driving layup gave the Oklahoma City a 97-96 lead. Westbrook then found Roberson open, and Robersons 3-pointer pushed Oklahoma Citys lead to 102-98 with 2:39 to play.After Phoenix rallied to tie it at 102, Westbrook missed several chances to put the Thunder ahead late in regulation, including a missed 3-pointer with 2.9 seconds left.Late in overtime, Westbrook didnt hesitate on his way to the hoop.I should have attacked the first time and be able to get to the paint and try to finish, he said.---TIP-INSSuns: Coach Earl Watson played for the Thunder during the 2008-09 season. ... The Suns led 31-13 in the first quarter and 40-25 at the end of the period. ... Phoenix shot 69.6 percent in the first quarter and 19.2 percent in the second.Thunder: Domantas Sabonis, a rookie, started in his first-ever regular-season home game. He finished with eight points on 4 for 6 shooting. ... Backup point guard Cameron Payne sat out with a fractured right foot. ... Westbrook was issued a technical in the third quarter, but it was taken away upon review. ... Victor Oladipo scored 21 points.STAT LINESWestbrooks averages through two games are 41.5 points, 12.5 rebounds and 9.5 assists. His 23 points in the third quarter matched Durants Thunder record for a quarter.DEFENSIVE SWITCHThe Suns led by 18 in the first quarter, but Oklahoma City held Phoenix to 5-for-26 shooting in the second quarter to cut it to 53-49 at halftime.Just defending, Westbrook said. We know that we came out sluggish, especially on the defensive end. We locked down.QUOTE OF THE NIGHTWatson, on defending Westbrook: For us, Westbrook shot 44 times, 20 free throws. Were living with that. Well live with that many shots. Our team played great.UP NEXTSuns: Sunday, they travel to Golden State to face Durants new team.Thunder: Sunday, they host the Lakers and new coach Luke Walton.---Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter (at)CliffBruntAP Brett Ritchie Jersey .

NEW YORK -- Aroldis Chapman and the rest of the New York Yankees dressed in their Sunday best for a flight to Houston following a 5-2 win over the San Francisco Giants that completed a 6-4 homestand. Los Angeles Kings Jerseys .Who returns in 10 days is unclear.Were very much in this, Brett Gardner said. Theres no point in me sitting here campaigning for us to stay together.Nathan Eovaldi (9-6) pitched shutout ball into the seventh inning, Carlos Beltran and Mark Teixeira hit early solo home runs of Jeff Samardzija (9-6) and Chad Green pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings.But the Yankees (50-48), who matched their season high of two games over .500, may have shown their management too little, too late to prevent a selloff of veterans ahead of the Aug. 1 deadline for trades without waivers. New York trails AL East-leading Baltimore by 7 1/2 games and is 4 1/2 games behind Toronto for the leagues second wild card, with the Astros and Detroit also ahead.Chapman has 20 saves in 21 chances and his fastball, at up to 105.1 mph, has entertained fans focusing on the scoreboard velocity of every pitch.Its tough. I feel comfortable here. I feel like part of the family here, he said through an interpreter, adding the Yankees have been talking to his agent.Chapman has formed the Yankees No Runs DMC bullpen trio with Dellin Betances and Andrew Miller, which has 203 strikeouts in 123 2/3 innings. Chapman, pitcher Ivan Nova, Beltran and Teixeira are eligible for free agency at the end of the season; Miller, signed through 2018 at $9 million, also is of interest to contenders.We dont want to see him go, Teixeira said of Chapman. Were trying to win games, and hes a big part of that.Chapman maintained he could be dealt and still re-sign with the Yankees as a free agent during the offseason.Oh yeah, if theres a possibility, and God willing, yes, he said.Beltran hit his team-best 21st home run in the first and Teixeira doubled the lead on the second with his 200th home run for the Yankees, his sixth in 20 games since returning from the disabled list. Teixeira and Jacoby Ellsbury wore white Ken Griffey Jr. Nike Swingman spikes with gold soles as a tribute to Juniors induction Sunday into baseballs Hall of Fame.New York chased Samardzija in the sixth, when Ellsbury grounded into a run-scoring double play, Starlin Castro singled in a run and Didi Gregorius hit an RBI double.Making his second start following a brief bullpen banishment, Eovaldi used a new cutter for the second time in the homestand. He escaped bases-loaded, one-out trouble in a 33-pitch fourth inning when Mac Williamson fouled out and Ramiro Pena grounded out.Eovaldi left after Angel Pagans two-out double on his 118th pitch, two shy of his career high. With the No Runs DMC trio unavailable after two days of heavy use, Chasen Shreve came in and loaded the bases with a walk to Brandon Belt, and Buster Posey poked an opposite-field, two-run single to right against Green, who then retired Brandon Crawford on a groundout.After losing the first two games of the homestand to Boston, the Yankees won six of eight against the Red Sox, Orioles and Giants.Weve told our players, and it includes me, you have to stay away from the noise, what youre hearing and rumors and things that might be going on, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.Beltran, traded in midseason from Kansas City to Houston in 2004 and from the New York Mets to San Francisco in 2011, knows not to think too far ahead.Ive been in this situation before, the 39-year-old said. For me its day by day.WEB GEMNew York turned a spectacular 4-1-5 inning-ending double play in the eighth. Pena grounded past a diving Teixeira at first but Castro slid on his stomach to come up with the ball on the outfield grass between first and second, and from his knees threw to Green covering first. The pitcher made a one-hop throw to third, where Chase Headley tagged a sliding Williamson.Thats a play we work on a lot in spring training, Green said.UP NEXTYankees: RHP Michael Pineda (4-9) starts Monday and LHP Dallas Keuchel (6-9), the AL Cy Young Award winner, goes for the Astros. Opponents are hitting .181 in Pinedas last five starts. Christian Folin Jersey . It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing.

Tim Fiorvanti recaps every match on Sundays WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view card, which takes place from The Air Canada Centre in Toronto. Rams Jerseys Store . Senior stats analyst Sean Coyle offers ratings worth a maximum of five points. Criteria for ratings is based on storytelling, in-ring execution, match?psychology,?timing and innovation -- worth up to one point each.The following is updated in real time.5-on-5 womens elimination match: Team Raw def. Team SmackDown (17:30)[Rosters: Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, Bayley, Nia Jax and Alicia Fox for Raw; Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss, Natalya, Naomi and Carmella for SmackDown Live.]Bayley was the first person to enter the ring, and her entrance set the tone for an interesting series of reactions from the crowd. Everything went smoothly for the first nine entrances, before Nikki Bella didnt come out for hers. After about 30 seconds, the camera cut to backstage, where a mystery assailant had laid out Bella. SmackDown general manager Daniel Bryan and erstwhile coach Natalya were standing there, and in a pinch, Natalya stepped in for the team. This certainly set the stage for a longer-term story going forward on SmackDown, but it also was a bit disappointing, as there was no continuation to the Charlotte Flair-Bella tension from SmackDown LiveAlternating chants for each team filled the arena in the early stages, with Carmella and Alica Fox opening the match. Carmella hit a nice spinning head scissors to get the first major piece of offense in. We then got a Bayley versus Becky Lynch tease, only for Charlotte to tag herself in, followed shortly by Sasha Banks tagging herself in and a complete breakdown in the middle of the ring.Nia Jax continued to show her unmatched physicality in dominating several members of the SmackDown team, but immediately upon her tagging out the team lost control. Fox hit a scissors kick on Carmella to gain the first elimination. Alexa Bliss immediately charged into the ring, sent Fox into the ring post and then hit a Bliss Flip from the top rope to eliminate Fox.Naomi continued to prove her willingness to lay it all out with high-flying moves with a top rope cross-body onto Jax, who was standing on the outside. Even after hitting it, Jax laid her out and, as the Toronto crowd feverishly chanted 10 (as they did Saturday for NXTs Tye Dillinger), Naomi was the next one out, via countout.With some interference and an assist from Bliss, Natalya earned the first major shocker of the night, when she rolled up Banks for a three count, leaving the match 3-on-3.Natalya also slapped on the sharpshooter against Charlotte, but immediately ate a massive clothesline from the Raw womens champion and fell to a three-count. Bliss tagged herself in, and she and Lynch had a shoving match before the teammates attempted to line up Jax for a double suplex. But Jax reversed it and suplexed both Bliss and Lynch at the same time. Lynch eventually caught Jax in a Disarmer for the submission fall to eliminate Raws biggest threat, but Jax laid out Lynch and forced Bliss to tag in. Bliss ate a massive boot from Flair and became the next pinfall victim.This left Flair and Bayley on one side against Lynch by herself, and the two WWE womens champions had a lengthy back-and-forth. Bayley broke up a pinfall on Flair at the very last minute and then had her own stretch against Lynch, while Flair recovered in the corner. After dodging several attempts for a Disarmer, Bayley caught Lynch with a Bayley-to-Belly suplex to pick up the victory for her team. Flair then laid out Bayley for a perceived affront and immediately shed the last elements of brand loyalty in the most brutal fashion imaginable.Sole survivors: Bayley and Charlotte.?WWE Intercontinental championship: The Miz (c) def. Sami Zayn by pinfall (14:05)In the first of two interpromotional title matches, Zayn received a massive reaction from the crowd in his first major event in his home country of Canada since joining the WWE, which included both a sing-along with his entrance theme and Ole chants that rang out throughout the match.It was a bit of a shock to the system to see The Miz up against anyone other than Dolph Ziggler, but the early stages of the match felt familiar for anyone who has watched SmackDown Live over the last few months. Maryse inserted herself by pulling The Miz out of harms way once, but Zayn scored a creative bit of offense when he jumped up on the ring barrier and hit a moonsault soon after. When Maryse got up in Zayns face, he used her patented hand taunt, only to eat a chop block from The Miz for his troubles.The Miz once again used Daniel Bryans signature offense with a double stomp to the back of Zayns knees, followed later by running dropkicks in the corner and kicks to Zayns chest. The match then settled into a familiar pattern; Zayn kept fighting his way back into things, but Miz countered with something sneaky and underhanded to regain the edge. A hobbling tope con hilo over the top rope to The Miz on the outside gave Zayn a brief edge and another big spot to hang his hat on, but several attempts at a Blue Thunder Bomb were stifled and things eventually turned back in The Mizs favor.Zayn successfully hit the Blue Thunder Bomb for the first true near-fall of the match, but kept favoring his leg. He hit an exploder to set The Miz up for a Helluva Kick, but missed and immediately got put into a Figure Four leg lock in the middle of the ring. The hold was locked in for well over a minute, with Zayn selling it hard, but he eventually turned it over and reversed it to put the pressure back on Miz.As it has almost every time he has done it, the final kick missed for Miz and Zayn slapped on a Figure Four of his own. As Miz sat in the middle of the ring, seemingly seconds from giving up, the bell started ringing in a moment somewhat reminiscent of the Montreal Screwjob. It was actually Maryse hitting the bell, though, so as Zayn let go of the hold in apparent celebration, The Miz rolled him up and held the tights to pick up a three count and retain his title.10-on-10 tag team elimination match: Team Raw def. Team SmackDown Live (18:55)[Rosters: The New Day, Sheamus and Cesaro, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, Enzo Amore and Big Cass, and The Shining Stars for Raw; Heath Slater and Rhyno, The Hype Bros, American Alpha, The Usos and Breezango for SmackDown Live.]Enzo and Cass opened up the second traditional Survivor Series match and got the crowd on their side by name-dropping Tim Hortons. The New Day also got a little bit of time, but used to it to try to get the somewhat hokey Team Raw Rocks chant over to mixed results. Team SmackDown was a bit more silent, with Slater and Rhyno walking out first to a big reaction and American Alpha closing out the entrances to a similarly big pop.Fandango made the quickest of exits when he focused too much on giving out tickets as part of the fashion police and?immediately got hit with The New Days finisher, Midnight Hour, to eliminate Breezango. But it wasnt going to end well for The New Day on this night, as all three members mocked Breezango and allowed Jimmy Uso to hit Kofi Kingston from behind and pin him for the sudden elimination, that did a lot to balance out these seemingly imbalanced squads.The action slowed for a bit, as most tag team duos took turns getting in some offense. Gallows and Anderson took control back for Team Raw by hitting Zack Ryder with the Magic Killer to eliminate the Hype Bros.Chad Gable entered the ring for SmackDown and spent a surprisingly long stretch selling, but eventually Jason Jordan tagged in and, in concert, American Alpha hit an Electric Chair and bulldog combo to eliminate Primo and Epico. A complete breakdown led to two of the most popular teams in the WWE -- Slater and Rhyno and Enzo and Cass -- to throw down in the middle of the ring.Then there were several consecutive spots where guys got thrown onto the assembled crowd outside. Big Cass threw Enzo onto everyone outside of the ring before booting Rhyno onto the crowd. Slater then did a stage dive and Gable did a flip. There was also a crazy sequence where a Cesaro spin got turned into a crazy roll followed by a deadlift German suplex by Gable, but the tide quickly turned against SmackDown.A Magic Killer on Jordan led to American Alphas elimination, and things seemed bleak for Team SmackDown with only Slater and Rhyno and The Usos left until Team Raw started falling apart. A gore on Gallows eliminated him and Karl Anderson, but Enzo and Cass quickly hit Air Enzo on Rhyno to get Team SmackDown down to their last tag team. The Usos dispatched Enzo and Cass, though, with a superkick and a Samoan splash, and it left the unlikely pairing of Cesaro and Sheamus to take on The Usos for the honor of sole survivorsBoth teams fought for a lengthy stretch, with Sheamus hitting a crazy avalanche White Noise off the top rope only to eat a splash from Jey Uso. Cesaro broke it up and then took control by running all over the ring and hitting uppercuts. A Tequila Sunrise attempt on Cesaro nearly got the win, but Cesaro turned it over and slapped on a sharpshooter to the delight of the Canadian audience (and likely his former tag team partner, Tyson Kidd). It was nearly broken up, but a Brogue Kick save from Sheamus allowed Cesaro to earn the submission final fall for Team Raw.Sole survivors: Cesaro and Sheamus.?WWE cruiserweight championship: Brian Kendrick (c) def. Kalisto by DQ (12:25)With no stereotypical popcorn matches on this card, the early stages of Kendrick and Kalisto suffered from a good chunk in the crowd heading to the snack bars and restrooms of The Air Canada Centre. Both men tried their best to get the crowd into things early, with Kalisto throwing himself out of the ring and back into it as part of his offense, and Kendrick countering with a suplex and some strikes.A Sliced Bread miss fed right into a Salida Del Sol miss, but Kendrick took control by trapping Kalisto between the ringpost and steel steps and kicking the steps. Kalisto stumbled back into the ring, but Kendrick went to work and didnt allow for an inch of breathing room as he battered and choked Kalisto all over the ring. He nearly locked in his signature Bully Choke, but Kalisto fought him off.The crowd seemingly woke up when Kalisto grabbed Kendrick and hit a Spanish Fly from the apron, as both men flipped to the outside with Kendrick taking the worst of it. Kalisto nearly hit a Salida Del Sol from the top rope, but Kendrick reversed it and flipped Kalisto over from his neck to lock in the Bully Choke. Despite rolling it over to get Kalisto away from the ropes, the title challenger finally worked his way toward grabbing the bottom rope to break the hold.Kalisto eventually took back control with a sequence of five moves that was capped by a rope-aided Salida Del Sol, but Kendrick got his leg on the ropes to save his title. Just as Kalisto seemed to be climbing the ropes to finish off the match, Baron Corbin ran in to get his revenge on Kalisto for taking him out a few weeks ago on SmackDown Live. By attacking Kendrick first, the champion earned the disqualification win as Corbin hit an End of Days on Kalisto and walked up the ramp to bring an otherwise solid match out on a sour note.5-on-5 mens elimination match: Team SmackDown Live def.

Rams T-shirts . -- Patrick Reed got an early start in golf. http://www.cheaplosangelesramsjerseys.com/john-kelly-jersey/ . Hargreaves began his career in 2008 with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and has played with the Edmonton Eskimos and last season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. The day after Jose Fernandez died, Michael Hill sat down at his desk, took a deep breath and tended to his first big procedural chore as president of baseball operations for the Miami Marlins. He logged on to the Major League Baseball database, typed the word deceased next to Fernandezs name and removed him from the teams active roster.The seven weeks since have been a blur of emptiness and obligation for Hill and Miamis front office. The Marlins still grieve daily over the loss of Fernandez, who died Sept. 25 with two companions in a boat crash off the south Florida coast. But Hill and the executives and scouts on his watch are also conscious of their mandate to put the best possible team they can on the field for 2017. The task is exponentially more difficult without Fernandez, who was yanked from their presence without a semblance of a warning.Hills office at Marlins Park overlooks the West Plaza where the team painted a stadium pillar orange and fans lined up by the hundreds to inscribe messages of love and remembrance in the days after Fernandezs death. Every now and then, a passerby stops to pay respects or take a photo. Then the fan moves on, and Hill is left with a swirl of emotions and the gravity of his mission.You never forget the human [side] or what happened, but you know you have a job to do, Hill said. Were never going to replace Jose, but we have to try to move forward. The memory of him will always be with us and be a part of who we are. Thats a bond well all have forever.Fernandezs death came during a time of promise and hope for the Miami organization. A young Marlins roster improved from 71 to 79 victories under first-year manager Don Mattingly, and the pieces were in place to bring continued growth. Right fielder Giancarlo Stanton is one of the games elite power hitters. Left fielder Christian Yelich just won a Silver Slugger Award at age 24. And the foursome of catcher J.T. Realmuto, shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria, second baseman Dee Gordon and center fielder Marcell Ozuna combine to give the Marlins a strong up-the-middle presence.Starting pitching was the tenuous link in the teams chain, with the exception of the stability Fernandez provided every fifth day.In 29 starts in 2016, Fernandez logged a 2.86 ERA with a 1.12 WHIP and 12.5 strikeouts per nine innings. In comparison, Miamis other 12 starters combined for a 4.70 ERA, a 1.44 WHIP and 7.2 strikeouts per nine.The Marlins arent even entertaining the possibility of trying to replace Fernandez, because his impact was so profound. If spring training began today, Miamis rotation would consist of Wei-Yin Chen, Adam Conley, Tom Koehler, Justin Nicolino and Jose Urena. Even if the Marlins wanted to sign a big name -- which is typically a foreign proposition for them -- the free-agent market is bereft of front-of-the-rotation arms. The other alternative is a trade, and they lack the talent in their farm system to make a run at Chris Sale, Sonny Gray, Chris Archer or other commonly mentioned alternatives.Miamis top pitching prospects are a ways away. Tyler Kolek, a former first-round pick with a 100 mph fastball, underwent Tommy John surgery in April. Lefty Braxton Garrett, selected out of an Alabama high school with the seventh pick of the 2016 draft, will begin his journey through the minors in the spring. During the Arizona Fall League, the Marlins have been monitoring the progress of starter Jarlin Garcia and reliever Drew Steckenrider. Scouts regard both as future big leaguers, but neither is the type to anchor a staff.With few alternatives, the Marlins have discussed fortifying their staff at the back end to help compensate for the loss of Fernandezs 182 innings. Relievers A.J. Ramos, David Phelps, Kyle Barraclough and Brian Ellington combined for 332 strikeouts in 256? innings this season. If the Marlins can add a power arm or two this winter, theyll have a bullpen that will take some heat off the rotation and allow Mattingly to pick his spots.We leaned on our bullpen a lot last year because it was a strength for us, and our starting pitching on the whole wasnt as strong, Hill said. Rams Jerseys Hoodies. To build that way is another route we can take. Get versatile, multi-inning pieces in the bullpen and try to shorten a game. Weve seen the trends of late with Kansas City and [Cleveland] in the postseason. We have the pieces in place already, so that might be a way to ease the blow.If Hill is looking for a current road map on how to move past Fernandez on and off the field, none exist. The closest comparable came two years ago in St. Louis, when star outfield prospect Oscar Taveras died in a car accident in his native Dominican Republic at age 22.Taveras death marked the third encounter with tragedy for St. Louis general manager John Mozeliak in 20 years with the organization. Mozeliak was assistant GM under Walt Jocketty when veteran starter Darryl Kile died of a heart ailment in 2002, and was in the same role when pitcher Josh Hancock was killed in a car accident in 2007.Mozeliak reached out to Hill immediately after Fernandezs death, and the two have spoken several times since. Among the insights Mozeliak has shared: Work can be therapeutic.You want to be respectful to the parents and siblings and people in that inner circle who are going to grieve for a long time, Mozeliak said. But going back to business actually helps with the healing. Its hard to get your hands around a tragedy when youre [forcing yourself] not to think about it. When you have something to focus on -- like getting the club going again from an organizational standpoint -- it makes it a lot easier.At the time of Taveras death, he was regarded as an elite prospect still trying to get over the hump. Taveras had just hit .239 with a .590 OPS in 80 games as a rookie, and the Cardinals knew he had some maturing to do and adjustments to make to take his game to another level.The Cardinals were coming off a 90-win season and a National League Central title in 2014, and Mozeliak couldnt afford to stand pat and let things sort themselves out in the spring. So he made a bold offseason move, acquiring right fielder Jason Heyward and reliever Jordan Walden from the Atlanta Braves for pitchers Shelby Miller and Tyrell Jenkins before Thanksgiving. Heyward logged a .293/.359/.439 slash line and won a Gold Glove to help the Cardinals win 100 games in 2015 before leaving to sign a $184 million contract with the Chicago Cubs.What the Marlins are doing, and specifically Mike Hill, is a little different than what we were dealing with, Mozeliak said. He was dealing with the rumors: Do we trade Jose Fernandez or try to sign him long term? Jose had already established himself as one of the elite players at the major league level.Not to sound callous or coldhearted, but I remember shortly after Oscars passing I was reflecting and I said to a few people, Were not going to miss him next year from a baseball standpoint. Its going to be two or three or four years down the road, when we dont have the No. 3 hitter we thought wed have.Left without their ace, the Marlins try to take solace in positive signs. Stanton, Miamis quiet superstar, assumed more of a vocal leadership role in the days after Fernandezs death, and the players and staff grew closer amid painful circumstances. But Fernandezs absence wont truly hit home until the first day of spring training in Jupiter, Florida, when the clubhouse will be a much quieter place.You felt Jose every fifth day on the mound, and the energy he brought, Hill said. But this was also a young man who loved life and lived it to the fullest. He had a pure energy and passion for the game that was infectious. I dont think you can separate the two.As the Marlins go down an uncharted path this offseason, the memories of Fernandez will simultaneously haunt and sustain them.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. Teuvo Teravainen Jersey . -- An investigation launched after a freshman high school player in Tennessee was attacked by three teammates at a holiday basketball tournament has revealed widespread, systemic problems going unaddressed at every level in his countys public schools.The countys district attorney and sheriffs office jointly investigated allegations of hazing and bullying on Ooltewah High Schools basketball team, and found problems on a much wider scale. Their report released Thursday says permissive coaches and an apathetic administration allowed a culture of bullying to spread around the county.The investigation was launched in January, days after Gatlinburg police said three Ooltewah players assaulted a freshman teammate with a pool cue on Dec. 22. In juvenile court last month, one was convicted of aggravated rape and aggravated assault, and the other two were found guilty of aggravated assault.From the moment the basketball coaches drove the team out of town without Board approval, the system failed, the report says.There was failure to adequately supervise the students, failure to recognize the significance of the horrific injuries suffered during a rape, failure to notify the victims parents, failure to provide a swift and appropriate response to the attacks, and failure to assure the public that proactive measures would be taken to address the root causes of these failures.Many of adults referred to in the report are no longer working in the countys schools. Kirk Kelly, the interim superintendent, said in a statement that the board will determine additional steps as we continue to improve our district.We have already made significant changes in our district over the past six months, including new and stricter policies, stronger training for our employees about abuse reporting, and a more comprehensive approach to crisis management and communications, Kelly said. However, the report may provide us an additional opportunity to enhance our practices, provide better support and safety for all students moving forward.While this has been a difficult time for many, I believe we will be better positioned in the future by having taken the right training path, creating greater awareness of appropriate behavior and encouraging the sharing of timely information.According to the report, the teams coach, Andre Montgomery, attempted to grossly minimize the situation and attempted to cover up the crimes. The report says Montgomery told players to keep quiet and not inform their parents.Montgomery was indicted in May on four counts of failing to report child sexual abuse. His lawyer, Curtis Bowe, said Thursday he hadnt seen the report and declined further comment.The report says authorities widened their investigation after fielding complaints about other bullying at Ooltewah and other Hamilton County schools. They found that neither Ooltewah High officials nor central office administrators at Hamilton County acknowledged the seriousness of the Dec. 22 case.And it says there is no indication that Rick Smith, the Hamilton County schools superintendent at the time, took his duty to manage the situation seriously. It says that Smith failed to communicate the gravity of the situation to School Board members or the public.The report says Hamilton County Department of Education has a glaring lack of training on how to handle these types of incidents. And it states that Ooltewah athletes continue to display bullying and threatening behavior.This report comes one month after a separate investigation commissioned by Hamilton County school officials said that Ooltewah had a culture of hazing and bullying even before the Dec. 22 attack.Meanwhile, the victim filed suit on Sept. 9 against his former coach, the former vice principal and athletic director, the former principal and the countys board of education, accusing them of knowingly ignoring the abuse of athletes.The lawsuit alleges that Montgomery told players after the assault, Were a family and what goes on in the family stays in the family.

PHILADELPHIA -- The struggling Giants couldnt add to their lead and it cost them. Charles Hudon Jersey .Maikel Franco drove home the winning run with one out in the 12th inning on a play that eventually was ruled a single, giving the Philadelphia Phillies a 5-4 victory over San Francisco on Wednesday night.Buster Posey singled, doubled and drove in three runs for the NL West leaders, who have lost 13 of 17 since the All-Star break. Denard Span had three hits.The Giants blew a 4-0 lead and managed just two hits against six Philadelphia relievers, who combined for seven shutout innings.We couldnt tack on, we couldnt do anything with their bullpen, we couldnt get anybody on, San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. That was difference in the game. Their `pen shut us down completely.Giants starter Johnny Cueto was cruising along until giving up consecutive solo homers in the seventh and Francos two-run single that tied it in the eighth. He was lifted after allowing four runs in 7 2/3 innings while recording his 12th career double-digit strikeout game by fanning 10 Phillies. The right-hander gave up seven hits and walked one.I felt normal, Cueto said through a translator. I made all my pitches. The only thing I can say is they beat me.Cueto said the Giants have to play their way out of their slump.Its hard to believe, he said. Were a good team. The only thing we can do is keep grinding and keep putting our best effort out there, every time we go out.Cuetos night was long over when the game ended in strange fashion.With the bases loaded and one out in the 12th, Franco lined what appeared to be a clean single into right-center field. But young teammate Aaron Altherr, who was on first base, got so excited about the Phillies winning that he rushed out to right field to congratulate Franco without ever touching second base.Posey, the Giants catcher, noticed the blunder and took a throw at second from right fielder Hunter Pence -- and second base umpire Dale Scott signaled that Altherr was out. Franco did indeed cross first base, though, so Tommy Joseph scored easily from third and the Giants had no chance at an inning-ending double play.When I saw (Hunter) Pence run out to center field to get the ball, I was like, `Whats going on here? Altherr said. Then when I saw him throw to second I was like, `Oh, (no). I feel terrible about it. Im just thankful we still got the win.Altherr said he would buy Franco dinner if the mistake cost his teammate a hit, but after a long delay following the game, the official scorer credited Franco with a single.Its more important that we won the ballgame, Franco said before the ruling. I got my RBI, we win the ballgame, thats what this game is all about.Ryan Howard homered among his three hits and Cameron Rupp also connected for Philadelphia. Franco finished with three RBI.George Kontos (2-2) started the 12th by hitting Joseph with a pitch. He went to second on Luis Garcias sacrifice bunt and Philadelphia had runners on first and second with one out after Kontos walked Cesar Hernandez.Bochy called on Jake Peavy for his first appearance since being demoted to the bullpen when the team acquired left-hander Matt Moore from Tampa Bay on Monday.Peavy induced a grounder by Altherr, but he reached to load the bases when third baseman Eduardo Nunez bobbled the ball for an error.Franco drove the next pitch from Peavy into right-center.Anytime you win in extra innings, its a great win, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. When you lose, its terrible.Garcia (1-0) pitched a scoreless inning, capping an impressive performance by Philadelphias bullpen.The teams combined to use 14 pitchers in a game that took 4 hours, 2 minutes.FOR STARTERSPhil Klein recovered from a shaky first inning in an emergency start for the Phillies and lasted five innings, giving up four runs and eight hits. Philadelphia scratched scheduled starter Aaron Nola 4 hours before the game and placed him on the 15-day DL with a strained elbow.Prior to Wednesday, Klein made eight relief appearances for Texas this season and had pitched 36 games in his big league career. He was a 30th-round selection by the Rangers in 2011.Klein was optioned back to Triple-A following the game.UP NEXTThe teams conclude their three-game series Thursday afternoon when Phillies RHP Vince Velasquez (8-3, 3.32 ERA) opposes Moore (7-7, 4.08).

LONDON -- London has made Liverpool feel right at home.In three trips to the capital in the first five rounds of the English Premier League, Liverpool is still unbeaten after comfortably accounting for Chelsea 2-1 on Friday.Having won at Arsenal and drawn at Tottenham, Liverpool ended Chelseas unbeaten start in the league at Stamford Bridge, where the visitors posted consecutive wins for only the second time in 40 years.Liverpool, more energetic and inventive, was 2-0 up in about half an hour and controlled proceedings for an hour. Not until Diego Costa put Chelsea on the scoreboard did the match begin to feel competitive.But not for long, as Liverpool weathered Chelsea briefly coming out of its slumber, and returned to smothering the Blues.Only Manchester City and Everton remain unbeaten in the league. Chelsea dropped to third and Liverpool rose to fourth.Its a big victory, it keeps our momentum going, captain Jordan Henderson said. We defended excellently, and deserved the three points. It gives good confidence.Having already beaten last seasons league champion and runner-up, Liverpools third win makes the second-round loss to promoted Burnley even more confounding. On Juergen Klopps watch, Liverpool has been strong against Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, and the Manchester clubs, remaining unbeaten in six away games against them, and losing only once in 11 matches.Reds defenders Dejan Lovren, Joel Matip, James Milner, and Nathaniel Clyne ensuredd Costa and Eden Hazard were virtually non-entities in Chelseas first Friday night game in 14 years. Noah Juulsen Jersey. Lovren was so comfortable that he even scored the opener. Given a free kick conceded by Chelsea stand-in captain Branislav Ivanovic on the left sideline, Liverpool eventually got the ball to Philippe Coutinho, who spotted Lovren and two more teammates unmarked at the far post.Coutinhos expertly weighted cross fell perfectly in front of Lovren to practically roll the ball past Thibaut Courtois.It became 2-0 with a cracking goal from Henderson. He accepted a poor clearance from Chelsea on the left side of the box, had time to sight the goal, and unleashed a dipping shot into the top right corner.The beginning was brilliant, Klopp said. We played football like hell.Chelsea, sure to have been blasted at halftime by manager Antonio Conte, started the second spell better, with Nemanja Matic tiptoeing along the byline, and dinking the ball inside for a leaping Costa to volley in for his league-leading fifth goal in five games.But Chelsea never threatened again, as infrequent shots clattered off the legs of Liverpool defenders.Only the relentless NGolo Kante, in midfield, gave Liverpool trouble. And the second Chelsea debut for expensive defender David Luiz finished like his first in 2011, a home loss to Liverpool.

The Denver Nuggets experimented with two 7-footers in the starting lineup but it didnt work out. Cheap Quenton Nelson Jersey . They stumbled to a 3-5 record with Jusuf Nurkic and Nikola Jokic manning the post together, so coach Michael Malone inserted Kenneth Faried at power forward.It took a couple of games but the Nuggets finally got a win with Faried starting and Jokic coming off the bench. Turns out, Faried thought he should have been starting all along.When I came out of that starting spot, it kind of gave me a wakeup call, Faried said after Denvers 120-104 win over Phoenix on Wednesday. Like, Hey, you need to get back to who you are.Faried had 20 points and 15 rebounds, both season highs, in the win, and he and the Nuggets want to ride that momentum against the Toronto Raptors on Friday night.The Nuggets (4-7) also want to get even with the Raptors, who won the first meeting between the teams, 105-102, in Toronto on Oct. 31.The Raptors (7-4) are going to be hungry for a win after losing back-to-back games to the two NBA Finals teams from last season. Toronto lost by four at Cleveland on Tuesday and then fell to Golden State at home on Wednesday.These two games are a good test for us, they let us know how quickly mental mistakes will cost you and breakdowns will cost you and then in the second half when we got focused in, locked in, we started switching some things properly, talking, communicating we kind of got back in the game, Toronto coach Dwane Casey told the Toronto Sun. But you cant have lulls like that against great teams.Star guard DeMar DeRozan hasnt had any lulls this season. He has scored 30 or more points in nine games this season, including 34 against the Warriors on a night he was 17-for-17 from the line.One of those 30-point games came against Denver. He had 33, and his backcourt mate, Kyle Lowry, had 29.Stopping those two will be a tall task for the Nuggets. Their best perimeter defender, Gary Harris, is out with a foot injury and Will Barton hasnt played since spraining his ankle against Toronto, leaving Denver thin at guard.Malone started backup point guard Jameer Nelson against the Suns and went with a three-guard rotation with rookie Jamal Murray. It worked well enough against the Suns, but it will be a different story against the Raptors.Fridays game is the beginning of four road games in six nights for Toronto. The Raptors also play Sacramento, the Los Angeles Clippers and Houston.The Pacific Division-leading Clippers will provide a tough challenge, but Denver thinks it has found something with Faried back in the lineup, so the Nuggets will be tough to beat, especially after getting their first home win in four games.Very happy to get the monkey off our back, get the first home win, Malone said. Now we have to turn around and get ready for Toronto. Wholesale Colts Jerseys . -- Matt Ryan needed one of the best games of his career to lead the Falcons and their depleted offence out of their three-game losing streak last week. Cheap Deon Cain Jersey . The Browns coaching search remains incomplete. http://www.cheapcoltsjerseyselite.com/?tag=cheap-tyquan-lewis-jersey . The winner Saturday will remain in the elite 10-team field next year. "We talked about wanting to be disciplined and stick with our game plan and good things will come," Draisaitl said, who had two goals for the victors. Army and Notre Dame have at least one thing in common this season: Each has had trouble against option attacks.When they meet on Saturday in San Antonio at the Alamodome, Army (5-4) just might have a small edge. The Black Knights use the clock-chewing triple option, and the Irish (3-6) are reeling from a one-point loss to Navy, their third setback in four games in what so far is the worst of Brian Kellys seven seasons as head coach.The chance to play in a bowl game is still a possibility for both teams. Kelly said he planned no changes.Were all going through a tough spot, but were persevering, Kelly said. Its not where anybody wants to be. But were handling the situation as best we can and were trying to make certain that everything that we do makes us stronger for right now and for the future.The Black Knights are coming off a 31-12 loss at home to Air Force, whose option was in high gear. Despite a subpar showing against the Falcons -- 144 yards on 40 carries -- Army still ranks second nationally in rushing (320.3 yards per game), averaging 5.3 yards per carry.Defensively, another challenge of playing a triple-option team that ... runs the ball very, very well and can be opportunistic throwing the football, Kelly said. So, focus is on, obviously, the details and the execution. In a large degree, we were able to do a lot of those things well last week, but not as well as Navy.Notre Dames six losses have come by a combined 29 points (4.8 per game), and all were one-possession games.That happens, Army coach Jeff Monken said. Theyve had opportunities to win a lot of football games and just havent had a break go their way or the other team has made a play. Thats sports.Last week, trailing 28-24 midway through the fourth quarter Kelly opted for a 31-yard field goal instead of gambling on fourth-and-4 deep in Navy territory. He made the call even though his defense had not forced a punt, and Notre Dame never got the ball back, finishing the game with just six possessions.Navy ran out the clock with its triple-option offense, converting two huge fourth-down plays on the final drive.We learned quite a bit the last week. We definitely learned how to value our possession on the offensive side of thhe ball, Notre Dame quarterback DeShone Kizer said. Cheap Colts Jerseys Authentic. . When you have the opportunity to take shots, youve got to be successful with them because your possessions are limited when youre playing against a triple-option team.Other things to know when Army plays Notre Dame on Saturday:KELLY-HOLTZ CONNECTIONKelly will tie Lou Holtz for the most losses at Notre Dame with his next defeat. Holtz had a 100-30-2 record in 11 seasons at South Bend. Kelly is 58-29 in seven seasons at Notre Dame and just 14-13 in his last 27 games with the Irish. Charlie Weis is next in losses with a 35-27 record in five seasons.STOUT DEFENSEThe Army defense is fifth in the nation in passing yards allowed per game (166.6) and sixth in total defense (286.4). Its also 13th in the country in scoring defense (18.1 points).NAVY HANGOVERNotre Dame has often struggled in the week after playing Navy, going 3-6 the past nine seasons. The streak includes losses to Air Force in 2007, Syracuse in 2008 and Tulsa in 2010, narrow victories against Wake Forest in 2011 and Purdue in 2012, losses to Pittsburgh in 2009 and 2013 and Arizona State in 2014. The Irish beat USC 41-31 last season.SHAMROCK SERIESNotre Dame is 7-0 in Shamrock Series games, which are officially home games played at neutral sites. The series was started in 2009 when the Irish beat Washington State 40-14 in the Alamodome. San Antonio is the first repeat site for the game, and Army is the first repeat opponent. The Irish beat the Black Knights 27-3 at Yankee Stadium in 2010.HISTORY LESSONIn this storied rivalry , Notre Dame has beaten Army 14 straight times and the last time it lost to Navy and Army in the same season was 1944. That year, the second-ranked Irish lost to No. 6 Navy 32-13 and a week later, after dropping three spots in the AP poll, they lost to top-ranked Army 59-0 in the largest loss in Notre Dame history.---AP Sports Writer Tom Coyne in South Bend, Indiana contributed.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .---Follow Kekis on Twitter: www.twitter.com/Greek1947 Cheap NFL Jerseys China China NFL Hoodies Wholesale Jerseys 2020 White NFL Jerseys Cheap Cheap Jerseys 2019 Cheap Stitched Jerseys Wholesale Stitched Jerseys ' ' '
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Matthew Lorito Jersey . -- Jose Berrios rookie season has not gone smoothly with the Minnesota Twins.Berrios was removed after 4 2/3 innings and 77 pitches in a no-decision in the Twins 4-3 loss in 11 innings to the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night.He acknowledged he was surprised when manager Paul Molitor came out to get him with two runners on base and the Twins clinging to a 3-2 lead.I knew that I gave up those two runs in the fourth inning, but I felt good, Berrios said through a translator. I felt comfortable and I felt like I was doing a good job of getting the batters out. But, hes the manager, so thats his position. You have to respect that and move on.While Berrios led the minors with 175 strikeouts in 2015 and had struck out 46 in 48 2/3 innings in the majors this season, he failed to strikeout a batter on Tuesday.I dont remember, he said the last time he failed to log a strikeout. Tonight I worked in the strike zone. I like strikeouts, but if I can get an out more easily I take it.Berrios has an 8.61 ERA in 13 starts. Molitor indicated Berrios would likely start the season finale at the Chicago White Sox, but would talk to him first on how he feels.I feel a hundred percent, Berrios said. I want to go out there and pitch. I feel like thats what every athlete wants is to win a game. Thats what they pride themselves on. So, yeah, if thats what they want, thats what Ill do.Bill Burns sacrifice fly scored Raul Mondesi in the 11th inning as the Royals staved off postseason elimination.The defending World Series champions are five games behind Baltimore for the second AL wild card with five to play.

Milone (3-5) was charged with the loss.Royals starter Ian Kennedy was removed after five innings and 106 pitches. He gave up three runs on five hits, while striking out five and walking three.

The Scot will take over from Novak Djokovic at the top of the rankings when they are published on Monday and he will hope to have an eighth title of the most impressive year of his career to go with it.After Djokovics quarter-final defeat on Friday, Murrays position was confirmed on Saturday when Milos Raonic withdrew from their semi-final, making him Britains first ever tennis world No 1 and ending the Serbs 122-week stranglehold at the head of the game. With the considerable side issue of the No 1 ranking now out of the way, Murray will concentrate on claiming the 14th Masters title of his career and a third of the season, having already claimed victory in Rome and Shanghai.Murray is into his fifth Masters final in succession this season and his 12th final of a memorable 2016. He will be a hot favourite against surprise finalist Isner, who beat Djokovics conqueror, Marin Cilic, in Saturdays first semi-final. Croft: Murray worthy of top spot Annabel Croft and Peter Fleming discuss Murrays rise Andy Murray took to the court for a knock-up after Milos Raonics withdrawal Murray has won all seven meetings between the pair, including a 6-1 6-3 quarter-final victory in Vienna last week, but he wont be underestimating the American, who overtook Ivo Karlovic for the most aces served on tour this year when he fired down 18 to take him to 1,141 for the season.He played a great match as I saw quite a bit of it after I finished practising, Murray told Sky Sports.He looked like he played very well, the court is very quick here and you look at the guys who have reached the latter stages - Tsonga, Cilic, Isner, Raonic - its a lot of the big servers. It seems to suit there game very well here, so I will need to play very well.Isner is into his third Masters final and, having started the week ranked 27th, his run in Paris has ensured he will end the season in the worlds top 20 and as the top-ranked American for the fifth year in succession.The 31-year-olds last 1000 Series final came in Cincinnati in 2013, where he was beaten 7-6 7-6 by Rafa Nadal, and his only other final at this level was Indian Wells in 2012, where Roger Federer got tthe better of him in straight sets.

Nelson Cruz stood up in Texas clubhouse and apologized to the Rangers, telling them why he accepted a 50-game suspension from Major League Baseball rather than appeal and try to stay on the field now. Chiefs Jerseys Online . "Its disappointing, but at the same time, we all love Nelson, and were going to support him through this," second baseman Ian Kinsler said. "Hes serving the suspension like he should, and were going to help him go on with this." While teammates wouldnt discuss specifically what Cruz told them, they uniformly expressed support for their top slugger who will miss the rest of the regular season for the playoff-contending Rangers. Cruz was among 13 players disciplined Monday by Major League Baseball for their relationship to Biogenesis of America, a closed anti-aging clinic in Florida accused of distributing banned performing-enhancing drugs. The All-Star right fielder didnt speak publicly, but acknowledged in a statement that he made "an error in judgment" in the wake of a gastrointestinal infection from November 2011 through January 2012. He said the illness wasnt properly diagnosed at first and he lost 40 pounds before getting proper treatment. "Just weeks before I was to report to spring training in 2012, I was unsure whether I would be physically able to play," Cruz said. "Faced with this situation, I made an error in judgment that I deeply regret, and I accept full responsibility for that error. I should have handled the situation differently, and my illness was no excuse." He provided no other specifics, including what he might have taken. That happened around the same time the Rangers were fresh off their second consecutive World Series appearance, and Cruz signed a $16 million, two-year contract to avoid salary arbitration. He was MVP of the 2011 AL championship series. The 50-game suspension corresponds with the last 50 games of the regular season for Texas, which is trying to get into the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year. The 33-year-old Cruz, who can be a free agent after this season, would be eligible to play in the post-season if the Rangers make it. The suspension will cost Cruz $2,732,240 in salary for the rest of this season and the possibility of earning another $500,000 in potential performance bonuses based on plate appearances that are no longer attainable. General manager Jon Daniels said the team would be "open-minded" to Cruz returning for the playoffs. "Assuming that theres no other information that were not yet aware of and if his teammates welcome him back, and Nellie handles this well, which I expect he probably will, then were open to it," Daniels said. Manager Ron Washington said Cruz would "unequivocally" be accepted back for the playoffs by his teammates. "Thats the love weve got in that clubhouse," said Washington, who described the day as emotional. "That dont mean that theyve accepted it, but I wouldnt expect anything else." Cruz is batting .269 with a team-high 27 home runs and 76 RBIs in 108 games this season. He homered three times in his last seven games, when the Rangers went 6-1 to cut their deficit behind AL West-leading Oakland from six games to 2 1/2 games. "It goes without saying were not going to replace Nelsons production with any one player, whether thats internally or via a trade," Daniels said on a conference call. "Were going to be creative" Daniels also reiterated a statement issued earlier by the team expressing its disappointment in Cruz for violating MLBs drug policy and its full support of "efforts to eliminate performance-enhancing substances from our game." The non-waiver trade deadline passed last week without the Rangers being able to add a right-handed hitter to potentially help fill his absence. The Rangers recalled outfielder Engel Beltre from Triple-A Round Rock and selected the contract of outfielder Joey Butler from the same team. They also designated infielder Adam Rosales for assignment, three days after adding him on a waiver claim from Oakland. David Murphy took Cruzs regular spot in right field Monday night in the series opener against the Los Angeles Angels. Washington is considering a four-person platoon to fill the outfield -- with Beltre and Murphy in against right-handed pitchers, while Gentry and Butler, who is looking to make his major league debut, would play against lefties. Cruz had never been linked to performance-ending drugs before he was among the players targeted by MLB in a scandal that started last January with a Miami New Times story about Biogenesis. After his name showed up in that report, attorneys for Cruz issued a statement denying the allegations. When Cruz arrived at spring training in February he said it was "shocking" and "depressing" to have his name connected with Biogenesis. In his statement Monday, Cruz expressed thanks "for the unwavering support of my family, friends, and teammates during this difficult time. I look forward to regaining the trust and respect of the Rangers organization, my teammates, and the great Rangers fans, and I am grateful for the opportunity to rejoin the team for the playoffs." Cruz has replaced agents Sam and Seth Levinson with Adam Katz, the representative Daniels said contacted him Sunday night with the players decision to accept the penalty. The Rangers got Cruz in a six-player deal with Carlos Lee from Milwaukee in July 2006. Cruzs first full major league season was 2009, when he was an All-Star and hit a career-high 33 homers. "Its sad. You obviously didnt expect anything like that to happen, but nobody is perfect," said Derek Holland, the teams union rep. "Everybody makes a mistake, and once he gets back, well be waiting for him. Weve just got to take care of what weve got to do now, and thats go get the West." Kahlil McKenzie Jersey .

NEW YORK -- Cynical about the Olympics? You must not be from Fiji.The Pacific Island nation won its first Olympic medal ever, and it was gold, by routing Great Britain in the rugby final. It was a joy to see on NBCSN, and a great example of the benefits to searching beyond NBCs prime-time to see all that is being offered.Its hard to put into words how big icons these players will be, said NBC announcer Bill Seward on Thursday. Being gold medalists, they will be heroes in their country forevermore.The win produced an outpouring of celebrations in the stands and by players after the match. The sport is huge in Fiji, and the nations prime minister traveled to Brazil for the games.RATINGS: NBC reached 26.4 million people with its Wednesday prime-time telecast, dominated by swimming and beach volleyball. Add in streaming and the 1.9 million people who watched the U.S.-Australia basketball game on NBCSN, and there was a total of 28.6 million consuming Olympic content. During the corresponding night in London, NBC had 30.8 million vieewers. Derrick Nnadi Jersey.

This is the only time I get to talk about her stroke, Gaines said. Shes so fast in the 400.FORE: NBC has clearly not been happy with the golfers who chose to stay away from Rio de Janeiro, making the Olympics first golf competition a little less star-studded than expected. Jordan Spieth, Jason Day, Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson cited concerns about the Zika virus; some critics have suggested concerns about a lack of prize money were in the mix, too. NBC host Mike Tirico said Thursday they were missing the chance to increase their sports popularity worldwide. Im a believer that golf needs the Olympics more than the Olympics need golf, he said.

Somerset 95 (Barker 4-33) and 211 (Rogers 58, Patel 5-86) beat Warwickshire 123 (Westwood 34, Bess 6-28) and 152 (Clarke 55*, Wright 45, Leach 6-42) by 31 runsScorecard Jack Leach finished with 6 for 42 as Somerset completed a 31-run Specsavers County Championship victory over Warwickshire on the third morning at Taunton. Omri Casspi Jersey.Resuming on 131 for 8, needing a further 53 to win, the visitors battled for 14 overs before being bowled out for 152, Rikki Clarke ending unbeaten on 55.Lewis Gregory was the other wicket-taker as Somerset took 19 points to keep alive their hopes of a maiden Championship title. Warwickshire had to be content with three points and are not yet out of relegation danger with only one game remaining.The first half hour saw Clarke and Chris Wright carefully build on their ninth-wicket stand against the spin of Leach and Roelof van der Merwe.Clarke reached his half-century off 138 balls, with eight fours and a six, and the pair had reduced the deficit to 37, with the stand worth 86, when an inspired piece of captaincy by Chris Rogers brought the breakthrough.He introduced Gregory from the River End and, with his fourth delivery, the seamer had Wright caught behind for 45.I brought Lewis on because I felt the batsmen were getting into a rhythm against our spinners, Rogers said. I just had a bit of a feeling that a change of pace might cause problems.Such decisions often come down to luck and its nice when they go your way. It makes you look like you know what you are doing!When Clarke took a single off Leachs third ball of the 58th over, Somerset moved in for the kill, surrounding last man Josh Poysden with close fielders.The tail-ender got an inside edge and Marcus Trescothick ended the game with the 394th first class catch of his Somerset career, at leg-gully, breaking a club record set by Jack White, whose career ended in 1937.The wicket sparked jubilant celebrations on the pitch and the home side could celebrate an unlikely win after being bowled out for 95 on the first morning.It wasnt the sort of pitch I would want to spend my career batting on, Rogers added. Each ball behaved a bit differently and that creates questions in the minds of batsmen, which makes them tentative.But our spinners are bowling well and Id take the same sort of wicket in our final home game against Notts if it means winning the title!However, Warwickshires captain, Ian Bell, was more critical of the surface that Somerset had laid on.The pitch wasnt dangerous in any way so there was no cause for complaint, he said. The ECB want wickets that turn, but I dont think that sort of surface is great even for the development of spinners.It may bring them more wickets, but they will then find themselves bowling on slow low tracks if they step up to international level.As for Warwickshires prospects for the final throes of the season, Bell added: Its disappointing because we are now right in the mix at the wrong end of the table. The game summed up our Championship cricket this season because we were good in spells, but not consistent enough.We have a big final at Lords to look forward to so we cant afford to dwell on this defeat. But whatever happens we need to look at our four-day cricket because there have been problems stretching back to the end of last season. Nick Young Jersey . He was followed closely by David Clarkson, donning red, seconds later.

His tenure as the GM in Vancouver was all too brief. Though he led the Canucks to what was then a franchise record-shattering campaign in just his second season, Nonis was gone and replaced one year later. The Rajkot Test was filled with tough lessons for India. But a draw was secured, and the team moves on to Visakhapatnam, its picture postcard beaches and possibly turning pitches.At the most recent international match played at the venue, Amit Mishra picked up five wickets and New Zealand were bowled out for 79 after having been 63 for 2. Before the start of that ODI, the host broadcasters pitch report suggested it would be a belter. Fifty or so overs in, it was turning from one corner to the other.Indias bowlers may not mind a similar setting come Thursday. They tend to work better when theres something in it for them, much the way children are far more inclined to do their chores when they get extra dessert at dinner. Work needs incentive and, often, it is in the form of chocolate cake.They werent too bad in Rajkot. In fact, Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami were able to find reverse swing when it looked like none of Englands bowlers could. They created chances with the new ball on the first day but were let down by their fielders. R Ashwin, often the big brother pulling this bowling attack out of trouble, crafted two fine wickets to redress the dropped catches but from there on; from the second session of the Test, India slowly lost their way.It raised a familiar question. Can Indias bowlers be effective on a good pitch?Its a difficult proposition because the window of opportunity you have is quite small. Say the first half hour when you can expect some sideways movement. Making the batsman play as much as possible in this period is vital. So too is attacking each ones weaknesses. For example, India rarely tried to bounce Moeen Ali when they themselves had success with the ploy before. England were very keen to test Cheteshwar Pujara with the short ball.The other thing when dealing with stubborn pitches is having a clear plan and sticking to it. When the batsman knows there is no seam or swing or spin, when he can trust the pace and bounce, it is only the bowlers discipline that creates doubt: keeping the ball outside off stuump if he is susceptible to nicking off, getting closer if he tends to get bowled or lbw. David West Jersey. Be boring. Be repetitive. Play on his ego. Induce the mistake. Savour the triumph.India were lacking in this regard. At times, it seemed like they didnt have an idea of what they wanted to do. They were hoping for wickets rather than pushing for them. They were hoping to keep the runs down rather than devising ways to find wickets. They had an in-out field on the second morning in Rajkot. Yet, they conceded 21 boundaries in a single session. This spell of play forced India so far back in the match that it required their five batsmen to bat at their peak not once but twice to save it. Could they have done so had they conceded 537 runs in the first innings away from home? Losing the toss was a mitigating factor, a sizeable one. It meant India had to bowl when the pitch was at its most docile. England too conceded a total of 488. But they made the batsmen take a lot longer to get there. Chris Woakes took the pitch out of the equation with his pace. Stuart Broad was skillful enough to repeatedly hit a crack, which ran length-wise down the pitch, to see if it could give him some natural variation.There are ways to overcome a stubborn pitch. The margin of error is small and it often takes an exceptional effort to succeed but there are ways.Harking back to the Eden Gardens where India clinched the No. 1 Test ranking, Virat Kohli was noticeably chipper. He had won the Test mace a year into full-time captaincy, he had another series victory on his record and the signs pointed to dominance over the entire home season in 2016-17. But the reasons for his happiness were none of those things. The batsmen did well on a seamer-friendly surface. The fast bowlers outdid New Zealands, who were arguably more used to such conditions. Kohli had seen his team stand up to adversity. He wouldnt want that to be a one shot.

LOUIS -- Cardinals cleanup hitter Allen Craig says hes recovered from a foot injury and ready to be put on St. Legendary surfer Bernard `Midget Farrelly was a pioneer for Australias current dominance in the sport.Farrelly, who died on Sunday aged 71, was the sports first world champion when he claimed the title in front of more than 60,000 fans at Manly beach in 1964.Since then, Australians have won 31 of a possible 94 world championships across both the male and female titles.And as far as Surfing Australia chief executive Andrew Stark is concerned, that is because of Farrellys influence.It wouldnt be where it is today without guys like Midget - he really led the charge, Stark said.He was the first legitimate superstar and the first household name.And theres been a lot of surfers since him in terms of Nat Young and Tom Carroll and Barton Lynch and Mick Fanning.Farrell began surfing as a six-year-old and remained heavily involved in the sport until his late years.He rose to stardom when he became the first Australian to win a major tournament overseas at the unofficial world championships in Makaha, Hawaii.He then turned his hand to the growth of the sport, helping establish both the International Surfing Federation and Surfing Australia.He was the epitome of the sport, Stark said.A style masster himself in terms of surfing.
