MILWAUKEE -- Ryan Braun wonders whether he still will be with the Milwaukee Brewers when spring training starts. James Crawford Jersey .Not knowing 100 percent where [Ill] be playing is hard. It definitely complicates things, the outfielder said Wednesday at the teams annual Thanksgiving food drive. Obviously, things come up. Its a part of the business. Its a part of the profession. If something were to happen, wed figure it out when we get there.Braun has a limited no-trade provision but would have the ability to block any swap starting in late May, when he becomes a 10-year veteran who has spent his past five seasons with his current team.I get asked about it regularly, Brewers general manager David Stearns said of a possible trade. I know thats a big story this offseason, but Im very happy that Ryan is a member of the Milwaukee Brewers. I expect him to be a member of the Milwaukee Brewers going forward. Im happy that hes here at the event today.The 2011 National League MVP, Braun was suspended for the final 65 games of the 2013 season for violating baseballs drug agreement and labor contract.He hit .305 with 30 homers and 90 RBIs last season following back surgery in October 2015. He is owed $76 million over the remainder of his contract: $19 million in each of the next two seasons; $18 million in 2019; $16 million in 2020; and a $4 million buyout of the Brewers $15 million option for 2021.I learned some really good exercises during my rehabilitation process last year that Ive been able to incorporate into my offseason routine, he said. I feel like it really helped me last year. So having a full offseason to be able to work out as well as incorporate all those core exercises I learned is something Im really excited about. I feel great. Randy Ramsey Jersey . -- Ryan Getzlaf grabbed the three pucks wrapped in tape and held them up to his chest in the Anaheim Ducks dressing room for a celebration nine seasons in the making. Reggie Gilbert Jersey . -- Playing time has been limited for Maxim Tissot this season, so the Montreal Impact defender made the most of his first scoring opportunity on Saturday. http://www.wholesalepackersjerseys.com/?tag=youth-marcedes-lewis-jersey . "It was nerve-wracking, but we pulled through," said Collaros, who threw four touchdown passes to lead the Toronto Argonauts (8-4) to a 33-27 win over the Calgary Stampeders (9-3) in front of 28,781 fans at McMahon Stadium. LOS ANGELES -- A central theme in the opening weeks of the NHL season has been the rash of significant injuries that have sidelined marquee players. Its no different for the New Jersey Devils and the Los Angeles Kings when they meet on Saturday afternoon at Staples Center.The Devils (9-4-3) continue their Life Without Taylor saga on the third stop in their five-game road trip. New Jersey lost their most explosive offense threat, left winger Taylor Hall to a left knee injury suffered in its 4-2 win over Buffalo last Saturday and his absence will reinforce the Devils reliance on their tight-checking defensive style that ranks them second in the NHL in goals against average.While its no surprise that starting goaltender Corey Schneider has posted quality numbers in net (7-4-2 record, 2.21 goals-against average, .926 save percentage), the work of backup Keith Kincaid has been as strong (2-0-1 record, 1.66 GAA, .944 save percentage). With the tandems performance between the pipes, the Devils are off to a surprising start despite being tied for last in the Metropolitan Division in goals scored.Also impacting the offense is the absence of Mike Cammalleri who is dealing with an undisclosed personal issue and hasnt played since November 8.Without two of their best offensive weapons, its no surprise the Devils have played a defensive game on the four-game road trip. They beat Dallas 2-1 in overtime on Tuesday and dropped a 3-2 decision to the Anaheim Ducks Thursday but Coach John Hynes refuses to use the absences as an excuse for the loss.The guys we had on the ice can score and are good players, Hynes said after the loss. After we went up 2-0 we got a little bit soft. We could have been harder on the puck in certain areas.Coach John Hynes has been pleased with the teams overall play as he tries to get a more consistent effort from his power-play unit that went 0-for-3 against Anaheim and failed to convert its last 24 chances over seven games.Thats a fair assessment, Hynes said. Theres parts of it that are reallly good and there are times when the power play is doing a lot of good things. Danny Vitale Jersey. . But its not consistent enough and I think to score you have to be more consistent. You can say you hope one goes in but were not in the hope business. We have to be more consistent in certain areas.The Kings (8-9-1) are trying to stay in the mix for playoff contention while dealing with multiple injuries that are a major reason for its sub-.500 record through 18 games. Every facet of the roster has been impacted, and serious injuries to goaltender Jonathan Quick, left winger Marian Gaborik and defenseman Brayden McNabb have forced coach Darryl Sutter to lean heavily on role players to pick up the slack.The better news for Los Angeles is that another of the walking wounded, center Anze Kopitar is hopeful to return to the lineup against on Saturday after a three-game absence as his injured wrist continues to improve.With pivotal players out its up to the Kings depth players like Devin Setoguchi to provide support. Setoguchi scored his third goal of the season in Thursdays 4-2 win over Edmonton and realizes it is incumbent upon to produce if the Kings are going to break out of their inconsistent play.We have to find a way to be more consistent, its tough. Every team on any given night has a legitimate chance to win, Setoguchi said. We just have to find a consistent way to put together 60-minutes and stick to our game plan.With the Pacific Division appearing to be far weaker than in previous seasons, coach Darryl Sutter knows that every point will be valuable in a division race that could go down to Game 82. He admits that the injuries has weakened his team significantly and is hoping their continued solid play at home will carry them.We arent the same team that we were, Sutter said We have one of the best home records in the National Hockey League and were in a fight for the division.

The Chicago Blackhawks halted the Los Angeles Kings eight-game home winning streak in the playoffs, taking Game Four of the Western Conference Final 3-2 and giving the Blackhawks a 3-1 series lead. Isaiah Wynn Jersey . Chicago faced a big challenge coming into the game as they were without the services of suspended D Duncan Keith. In Keiths absence, Niklas Hjalmarsson contributed two assists and played 24:57, his high time on ice mark for this postseason. It wasnt just Hjalmarsson that stepped up, however. Veteran Michal Rozsival played 25:28, his second-highest total all season (he played 27:11 in Game One of the playoffs, an OT win against Minnesota). Not only did Rozsival play, but he and partner Johnny Oduya had the best possession numbers on the Blackhawks. Blackhawks RW Patrick Kane has been maligned for his playoff performance (no goals, two assists in his last seven games), but came to play in Game Four, registering a game-high seven shots on goal as well as scoring Chicagos second goal. It was the second time in the playoffs that Kane had seven shots on goal, following a season in which his single-game high had been six shots on goal. Marian Hossa scored the winning goal for Chicago. He has seven points (3 G, 4 A) and is plus-6 in the last seven games. Blackhawks LW Bryan Bickell scored another goal, giving him eight in 16 playoff games, after a regular season in which he scored nine in 48 games. Kings C Anze Kopitar continues to have trouble putting points on the board. It was his fourth straight game without a point, leaving him with three points in the last dozen playoff games. While Kopitar isnt necessarily a huge volume shooter (a career-low 2.1 per game during the regular season), he was held to one shot on goal Thursday, giving him 28 shots in 17 playoff games (1.65 per game). Tough to score when youre not generating chances. Kopitars not alone, either. LW Dustin Brown and D Drew Doughty were both held without shots on goal in Game Four. The Kings offence did come from familiar faces. D Slava Voynov scored again, his sixth of the playoffs (after six goals in 48 regular season games) and Dustin Penner, from linemates Jeff Carter and Tyler Toffoli, had the other Los Angeles goal. The Carter line is ostensibly the second line, but has been the Kings best in all three games that it has been together (since Mike Richards was hurt in Game One). Los Angeles is in a tough spot and the only answer is to score more goals. They are 1-for-14 (7.1%) on the power play in this series and have scored a total of 16 goals in their last nine games. As well as Jonathan Quick has played, thats leaving no margin for error. Down three games to one, the Kings as a whole are now left with no margin for error if they are going to defend their crown.

Roman Josi had a goal and an assist to lead the Predators to a 4-1 victory over the Dallas Stars on Monday night. The fall portion of the 2016-17 PGA Tour concludes this weekend with the RSM Classic at Sea Island Resort in St. Simons Island, Ga.And although more than 25 fully exempt PGA Tour players in the field either live nearby or consider the Sea Island Golf Performance Center as their base, its anything but a certainty that the title will be won by a hometown favorite.The event, which was founded in 2010 and formerly called the McGladrey Classic, is famously hosted by PGA Tour player Davis Love III, one of many Tour players among the areas residents.Love is faced with myriad of responsibilities and challenges before and during tournament week. On top of his tournament host duties, Love also competes in the event and said that when its time to tee it up he simply wants to go play.Its worth all the hard work to get to do what I go do, Love III said. I want to continue to see how good I can get. World No. 1 is probably not realistic at (52) years old, but staying out on the PGA Tour until you are 60 and trying to win more golf tournaments is a fun goal.Three of the previous four champions of this event claimed their first title here, including Kevin Kisner, who won by six shots last year while setting 54- and 72-hole scoring records.Kisner validated a year of near misses in with a dominating victory, shooting 12-under par on the weekend to cruise to the win over distant runner-up Kevin Chappell.Kisners six-stroke victory in 2015 is the largest in tournament history. Until 2015, all five previous editions in the RSMs short history had been decided by no more than one shot.It was one of those weeks when everything was going my way, and you have to remember those because they dont happen very often, Kisner said.Kisner temporarily relocated to St. Simons Island while his Aiken, S.C., house was being renovated.Two of the tournaments six champions have been part-timers -- Kisner and Chris Kirk (2014). But with all the big names that call St. Simons Island home, the RSM Classiic still is looking for its first true hometown winner. Jamie Collins Sr. Jersey. .The closest a fulltime resident has come was Loves tie for fourth in 2012.Eleven players in the field seeking their first win have at least one runner-up finish since the beginning of the 2015-16 season.Other Golden Isles residents in the field this week are Matt Kuchar, Zach Johnson, Harris English, Brian Harman, Hudson Swafford, Patton Kizzire, Bobby Wyatt and Trey Mullinax.The tournament usually has a strong field because of its place on the schedule right before the holidays, the challenging courses at the resort and the measuring stick it provides players before many go on an extended break.Ten players who are ranked inside the top 30 in the FedExCup standings are in the 156-player field that will battle for the $5.7 million purse, $1.026 million of which goes to the winner.The highest ranked-players in the field in the Official World Golf Rankings are Kuchar (No. 20), Brandt Snedeker (26), Chappell (28), Jim Furyk (34), Johnson (35), Bill Haas (38) and Kisner (41).Sea Islands 7,005-yard, par-70 Seaside course will be the feature track and the site of play for the remaining field on Saturday and Sunday.Once again, entrants also will play one of the first two rounds at the revamped Plantation course.Unlike Harbour Town to the north, Sea Island was fortunate to suffer minimal damage from Hurricane Matthew. The Seaside Course withstood Mother Nature better than the Plantation and Tour officials said damage set them back only about a week in preparation.The RSM Classic is the seventh event in the PGA Tours wraparound schedule that bridges two years with 47 official events.Over the span of 43 weeks, players vie to become the FedExCup Champion. After a break, the season will resume in January with the traditional swing through Hawaii before moving to the West Coast.Wholeslae Jerseys NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Cheap MLB Jerseys Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Cheap College Jerseys Cheap Football Jerseys Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
TUCSON, Ariz. Air Max 97 Nere Scontate . -- Two games in and Arizona freshman Lauri Markkanen is already drawing high praise from his coach.Lauris one of the best players in college basketball, Sean Miller said. He is. Hes a monster.The 18-year-old 7-footer from Finland scored 26 points and the 10th-ranked Wildcats held off a furious second-half rally by Cal State Bakersfield for a 78-66 victory on Tuesday night.Jaylin Airington scored 31 for the Roadrunners (1-1) and led a 17-0 run that cut Arizonas lead to four with 9:04 to play. But Markkanen sank a 3-pointer, converted a three-point play and made a short jumper to lead the Wildcats out of trouble.Markkanen is accustomed to such moments.I am used to it, he said. Pretty much my whole life, in big moments, I have the ball in my hands.The already short-handed Wildcats (2-0) were without starting senior guard Kadeem Allen, who sprained a knee in Arizonas 65-63 victory over Michigan State last Friday in Honolulu.Rawle Alkins was 4 for 6 on 3-pointers and scored 15 for the Wildcats and Kobi Simmons added 13. Both also are freshmen.Dedrick Basile added 14 for BakersfieldHaving the opportunity to play a top 10 team is going to give us an opportunity to have some confidence coming out of this game, Roadrunners coach Rod Barnes said.Airington was 10 for 25 from the field, and Miller said its hard to get 25 shots in a college game. It wasnt enough.It was a good individual effort, Airington said, but I wanted to win more than anything.Arizona was up 44-26 at the half and was cruising along when a tip-in by yet another freshman, Keanu Pinder, gave the Wildcats a 53-32 lead with 14:45 to play. Arizona didnt score for the next 6:46.The McKale Center crowd fell into an uncomfortable silence when Damine Durhams basket cut the lead to 53-49 with 9:04 to play.A ruckus under the Arizona basket finally woke the Wildcats up.Chance Comanche went up for a layup and was hit hard by a pair of Bakersfield defenders. Some shoving occurred with Comanche lying on the court and officials called time out to review the incident on video.Taze Moore was called for a flagrant foul one and Comanche ended the long drought by making one of two free throws with 7:59 left. Arizona got the ball out of bounds on the play and Markkanen sank his only 3 of the night to boost the lead to 57-49.Playing small forward on Arizonas big front line, he drove hard down the lane, was fouled and converted a three-point play with 5:51 left and made a short jumper with 5:17 to go, giving the Wildcats a 64-54 lead and they held on from there.Lauris strong, Miller said. Hes not skinny, hes not thin. Hes 18 years old buy physically he can take a pounding and I think that really shows. He doesnt appear to be 7 foot because hes not a rail-thin 7-footer.His pull-ups that he made tonight, watching him go to the free throw line under pressure, hes a special, special player.Hes also a great team player and a good student.I dont think hes got a B at Arizona, Miller said. And practice-wise hes consumed with becoming a great player. Hes one of our teams hardest workers. ... Im so glad we have him.BIG PICTURECal State Bakersfield: The Roadrunners were not cowed by the atmosphere and look like WAC contenders.Arizona: After the opener against a big name school, the young Wildcats fell into a lull with a big lead. That might not have happened if Allen had been available.PLAYER SHORTAGEThe absence of Allen left Arizona with only seven scholarship players with a particular shortage at guard. It got even worse when Jackson-Cartwright got into foul trouble.UP NEXTCal State Bakersfield: returns home to face UC Santa Barbara Saturday night.Arizona: Plays the second of three straight home nonconference game against teams from lesser conferences, facing Sacred Heart on Friday night. Nike Air Max Plus Scontate . After dropping their final six games of December, the Wild opened the new calendar year with four consecutive wins. Following a loss to Colorado on Saturday, Minnesota rebounded the following night to blank Nashville 4-0, but then had the tables turned on them Tuesday. Air Max Scontatissime . One game after a miserable showing in Oklahoma City, Gay tied a career high with 41 points and the Sacramento Kings cruised to a 114-97 victory at the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. http://www.airmaxoutletscontate.it/max-95-scarpe-scontate.html . LeBron James and Chris Bosh didnt need any more. Williams scored 11 points in 10 minutes, Alan Anderson scored 17 points, and the Brooklyn Nets finished the exhibition season with a 108-87 win over the Miami Heat on Friday night. CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Quarterback Cam Newton said the Carolina Panthers offense is lacking a killer instinct.While Newton wasnt about to trade anything for emotional high that comes with a win, he wasnt pleased with the offenses production after a 28-16 victory over the San Diego Chargers on Sunday.The defense played lights out for us, gave us unbelievable field position. Offensively, not to rain on the win, we have to put up points -- points as in getting touchdowns, Newton said after the Panthers snapped a two-game losing streak.It has been a common theme for the Panthers (5-8) all season.The defense has repeatedly set up Newton and company with good field position, only for a drive to end in a Graham Gano field goal attempt, a punt or turnover. The Panthers settled for four field goals on Sunday and the managed two touchdowns. But another Carolina drive inside the Chargers 10-yard line ended in a Newton interception.Part of it we press, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. We get down in the red zone and we want to try to make something happen. And whether its a negative play that crops up and puts you in a negative position or youre trying to force it or just the missed opportunities.Rivera pointed to the Newtons pass to Kelvin Benjamin in the end zone that was intercepted by Trovon Reed as a perfect example of the Panthers being just a little off.If he puts that ball a little wider to the outside where only Kelvin can get it that could have been a touchdown, Rivera said. If he throws a high fade, that could have been a touchdown. Or maybe he runs the ball. He had options out there. He read what he was supposed to reead and went with what the play that he did. Nike Air Max Saldi. And thats unfortunate.Said tight end Greg Olsen: A couple of times, we settled for field goals which fortunately didnt come back to hurt us. We understand we have to be better in those situations. When we have short field like that, especially early, we have to be able to convert those into touchdowns.Carolinas red zone numbers are good, but their overall production is way down from a year ago.The Panthers led the league in scoring last season and finished second in overall in offense, but things have fallen off this year despite the return of Benjamin -- the teams No. 1 receiver as a rookie in 2014.Carolina has dropped to 13th in the league scoring and 19th in offense in 2016.I didnt feel as good as I normally feel after a win, but when I watched the tape I felt better about what we did, Panthers offensive coordinator Mike Shula said. Sometimes those one or two plays make you feel real bad and you forget about the good things that we did. But yes, we need to get the ball into the end zone -- and we have that type of offense to do it.Carolinas next chance to improve those numbers will be Monday night at the Redskins.Newton said the Panthers offense has struggled to impose its will.We have to have that type of mentality, that killer instinct and we didnt have it, said Newton, before managing to find the bright side. But we found ways to win and thats positive.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholeslae Jerseys NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Cheap MLB JerseysWholesale Soccer Jerseys Cheap College Jerseys Cheap Football Jerseys Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
Tournament overview Rangpur Riders will feel hard done by, after Khulna Titans qualified for the playoffs on the last evening of the league stage. DeShawn Williams Jersey . Dhaka Dynamites fielded an under-strength side, and Khulna dominated them for most of the contest.But Rangpur got themselves into a situation where their qualification depended on other results, which is never ideal. They should have defeated Comilla Victorians in their last game, which would have all but ensured their progress.It ended up being a season of missed opportunities as Rangpur, who were sitting on top of the table at one stage.However, they still have a few reasons to be happy, given the performances of Mohammad Shahzad, Mohammad Mithun, Shahid Afridi, Sohag Gazi, Rubel Hossain and Arafat Sunny. Liam Dawson looked in good touch at times, while Ziaur Rahman, too, had a good finish to the season despite not being an automatic choice in the XI.High point Rangpur were on top of the table at the end of the Chittagong leg, with 10 points in six games. They chased down 126 easily against Khulna Titans, with Shahzad, Mithun and Afridi making important contributions.Low point Rangpurs defeat in their last match would probably go down as their worst moment. Needing a win against Comilla to qualify, Rangpur were insipid with bat and ball, and lost by eight runs. That summed up their campaign of missed opportunities.Top of the class Wicketkeeper batsman Mohammad Shahzads ability was already well known, but, in this tournament, he showed greater consistency. Shahzad topped Rangpurs batting charts with 350 runs, which included two fifties. On the down side, Shahzad earned a suspension for poking his bat at Sabbir Rahman; he needs to work on controlling his temper better next time.Under-par performer Opener Soumya Sarkars poor form did not do Rangpur or himself any favours ahead of Bangladeshs tour of New Zealand later this month. Sarkar ended his season with 135 runs at 12.27 and a highest of 26.Tip for 2017 Rangpurs owners have had a feel of what will be required next season, and will be more prepared to build a squad that takes them into the qualification stage. A more experienced coaching unit can also give them an advantage. Horace Richardson Jersey .

Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal.

Baltimore Ravens reserve tight end Darren Waller was suspended four games Friday for violating the NFLs substance abuse policy. Darrin Hall Jersey .Waller, a 2015 sixth-round pick who switched from wide receiver to tight end this offseason, will be eligible to return to the Ravens active roster on Oct. 3. He can participate in all preseason practices and games.Waller is the second Ravens tight end to get disciplined by the league this year. Nick Boyle was suspended for 10 games in February for violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances.It was going to be difficult for Waller to make the Ravens season-opening 53-man roster. He is behind Benjamin Watson, Dennis Pitta, Crockett Gillmore and Maxx Williams on the depth chart.Waller played six games as a rookie last season and made two catches for 18 yards. He is considered an up-and-coming special-teams player.While this is the first time Waller has been disciplined in the NFL, he was suspended twice at Georgia Tech for violating team rules.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Unlike last seasons 32-point victory for Dayton, this one went down to the wire.Ryan Mikesell made his second 3-pointer of the game with 76 seconds left and Dayton beat Alabama 77-72 on Tuesday.That was a big shot, a really big shot for him, Dayton coach Archie Miller said. Hes a tough-minded kid, hes got guts and I knew when he shot it he would have a chance to make it just because of who he is as a competitor.Alabama coach Avery Johnson called his last timeout to set up a tying 3-point play with 19.5 seconds remaining, but Corban Collins open attempt from the corner was off the mark.Coach Johnson did a really good job of drawing up a play to get us open, Collins said. I just had to take my time and I rushed it a little bit. But like coach said, its something we can look at in film and fix, and next time we see that situation we know how to handle it better.Scoochie Smith made three of Daytons nine 3-pointers and scored 20 points. Charles Cooke had 19 points and 10 rebounds for Dayton (2-0), which connected on 24 of 44 shots from the floor while Alabama made only 23 of 59 (39 percent). Mikesell and Josh Cunningham each scored 12 points.Really, really hard fought game, especially early in the season to come out on the road and find a way to get a win was big for our group, Miller said.Collins and Braxton Key scored 15 points apiece for the Crimson Tide (1-1), which outrebounded the Flyers 40-28, includding 18-5 on the offense end. Jordan Evans Jersey. Dazon Ingram had 14 points and seven assists.Where we wouldve lost the game, obviously would have been on the glass, Miller said. Obviously we could not rebound the ball like a college basketball team today so thats something were going to take into account.BIG PICTUREDayton: The Flyers found themselves one spot outside the Top 25 this week, but with a win over the Crimson Tide, Dayton could be poised to move up next week.Alabama: The Crimson Tide lost to Dayton for the second consecutive year and must now wait for another chance to prove itself on a national stage.INJURY REPORTDaytons Josh Cunningham was fouled on a one-handed dunk to give his team a four-point lead in the final three seconds. He suffered an injury which knocked him out of the game and Miller said afterward that Cunningham could miss time due to knee and ankle injuries.FRESHMAN STANDOUTKey scored 10 of his 15 points in the second half for Alabama and he had a team-high six rebounds.NEXT UPDayton: The Flyers will return home, where they are 15-3 since the start of last season, and will face Saint Marys on Saturday.Alabama: After having its 16-game home winning streak against non-conference competition snapped, Alabama will attempt to start a new streak on Friday when it hosts Ball State.

INDIANAPOLIS -- At age 43, Adam Vinatieri hasnt lost a thing. Peter Kalambayi Jersey .The NFLs oldest player is still kickin it with guys almost half his age. If anything, the best clutch kicker in NFL history seems to be improving with age.On Sunday, Vinatieri made all five field goal attempts, including two from more than 50 yards, to help the Indianapolis Colts get past the Chicago Bears 29-23.He is just money, coach Chuck Pagano said. Twenty-one years (in the league), 43 years old, all that stuff, and producing and doing the things that hes doing, its just incredible.Aside from the graying temples and the calming voice in the locker room, theres no hint Vinatieris end is nearing.Instead, he continues to play the game like a young kid.The four-time Super Bowl champion has made a career-high five field goals in six regular-season games. Its the first time he achieved the feat since 2013 -- and it comes more than two decades after his first milestone day, Sept. 22, 1996 against Jacksonville.If thats not enough to marvel at, there is this: Vinatieri has made 38 straight field goals dating to last season, a career high, and he needs five more to break Mike Vanderjagts record, set from 2002-04. Vanderjagt was Vinatieris predecessor in Indy (2-3).Still not enough?Vinatieri extended his streak of field goals made from 50 or more yards to nine, thanks to a 54-yarder in the first quarter Sunday and a 53-yarder into the open window end of Lucas Oil Stadium -- the end Vinatieri told the Fox broadcast team would probably cost kickers about 5 yards on their range.Naturally, Vinatieri still made it because hes at his best when the Colts need him most .Im just happy I made all the kicks today, went out there and helped put points on the board, he said in his typically low-key tone. It was a good day.Meanwhile, 30-year old kicker Connor Barth missed a 54-yarder into the closed end of the stadium and a 49-yarder after the Bears got a second chance because the Colts were called for running into the kicker penalty.That crucial sequence prompted postgame questions about whether the Bears (1-4) may try out some players this week.I think the kicker missed one kick and I think it was plus-50, Chicago coach John Fox said. I dont know that that was his forte coming in to begin with, but we look at everything every week. I dont think thats on one guy.In Indianapolis, its one of the few positions the Colts dont worry about.Time after time, Vinatieri has bailed the Colts out when the offense has bogged down or bungled chances, as was the case again Sunday when the Colts were called for delay of game on third-and-4 from the Bears 23-yard line with 2:39 to go and following a timeout. Lucks ensuing pass to Phillip Dorsett in the front corner of the end zone fell incomplete.But Vinatieri made a 46-yard field goal, forcing Chicago (1-4) to win the game with a touchdown rather than sending it to overtime with another field goal.We preach all the time, `Do your job, and its my job to go out and try to put points on the board, Vinatieri said. Im happy its going in there right now.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Jordan Thomas Jersey . Scott Kazmir allowed four hits in seven shutout innings, Michael Brantley hit a two-run homer in a three-run first inning and the Indians maintained their hold on an AL wild-card spot with a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night.

The return match will take place next Wednesday. Udinese leads Fiorentina 2-1 in the other semifinal. Napoli staged a second-half comeback from two goals down after Gervinhos opener and a stunning strike from Kevin Strootman. MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The Memphis Grizzlies have signed guard Andrew Harrison and center Deyonta Davis to multiyear contracts, waived guard Tony Wroten and announced the acquisition of guard Troy Daniels.All four moves were announced Tuesday. Terms of the Harrison and Davis signings werent disclosed.The Grizzlies acquired the 24-year-old Daniels from Charlotte for cash considerations as part of a sign-and-trade deal. The Hornets received a trade exception that will be available for one year.Daniels and his representatives had tweeted over the weekend that he been acquired by Memphis, but the Grizzlies and Hornets announced the deal Tuesday afternoon. Priority Sports, which represents Daniels, tweeted that he had received a three-year contract.Daniels averaged 5.6 points, 1.3 rebounds and 11.1 minutes in 43 games with Charlotte this past season. The 6-4 guard also shot 48.4 percent from 3-point range. The 24-year-old Daniels has played in 95 regularr-season games with the Houston Rockets, Minnesota Timberwolves and Charlotte. Malcolm Pridgeon Jersey. The Grizzlies acquired the 19-year-old Davis on the night of the draft after the Boston Celtics selected him in the second round with the 31st selection. Davis, who is 6-foot-11, averaged 7.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 18.6 minutes in his lone season at Michigan State.Harrison, 21, averaged 18.5 points, 4.9 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 46 games this past season for the Iowa Energy, the Grizzlies NBA Development League affiliate.The Grizzlies acquired Harrison the night of the 2015 draft after the Phoenix Suns selected the 6-6 guard from Kentucky in the second round with the 44th pick.Memphis had claimed Wroten after he was waived by the New York Knicks last month. The 23-year-old has played in 145 NBA games.

Forty-five years ago, on May 13, 1971, Ben Hogan walked away from professional golf -- literally. Mike Weber Jersey .This was more than two decades after a near-fatal crash with a Greyhound bus. He didnt just recover from that crash; he won four titles at the U.S. Open, two at the Masters and one at the Open Championship.Hogan knew a thing or two about dealing with adversity and overcoming it. He also apparently knew when enough was enough.On that day, nearing his 59th birthday, he opened with an embarrassing 44 on the front nine of the Houston/Champions International event. On his 11th hole, he tweaked a leg injury while walking into a ravine and then withdrew from the tournament.While riding on a cart back to the clubhouse, Hogan was asked what happened. Dont ever get old, he reportedly answered.He never again teed it up in a competitive event.Mondays news that Tiger Woods has withdrawn from this weeks Safeway Open doesnt feel like his Ben Hogan finish. It doesnt feel like this will be his figurative walk-off moment, if not the literal one Hogan endured.Soon after the news became official, Woods posted an explanation to his website.After a lot of soul searching and honest reflection, I know that I am not yet ready to play on the PGA Tour, he said. My health is good, and I feel strong, but my game is vulnerable and not where it needs to be.Those dont sound like the words of a man who is finished overcoming adversity. They dont sound like the words of a man resigned to believing enough is finally enough.Theres an excellent chance that this speed bump in Woods comeback is exactly that -- a mere delay before he once again starts playing competitive golf, gradually improving with each event he enters.At 40, Woods is a full generation older than current superstars Rory McIlroy,?Jason Day and Jordan Spieth, but he is hardly the age of Hogan when he stopped playing. Woods is still younger than Phil Mickelson, Darren Clarke and Ernie Els, all of whom won majors in their 40s in recent years. It doesnt take the most optimistic mind to believe that if those guys can reach that level of success late in their careers, maybe Woods can too.Of course, thats getting way ahead of ourselves. As is the case with everything swirling around Woods these days, we dont know for certain when hell next play -- not yet, at least. All of which leaves open the possibility that this isnt just a speed bump, that this isnt just some delay in the process.As Woods alluded to on his website, this is less about his physical limitations and more about some combination of technical and mental issues that is holding back critical parts of his game. Even he would admit it would be better the other way around. Hed rather have a physical injury that he can rest, recuperate and recover from than something that has no definitive timeline.Woods cant confide to the world that he will unequivocally be ready for the Hero World Challenge in early December or the Farmers Insurance Open in January because he doesnt know. His guess is as good as anyone elses.?Theres more than a little irony in that scenario.As Woods was, in theory, preparing to compete this week and the golf world was once again buzzing about his return, the highest intrigue stemmed from the fact that the player who was once the games surest thing is now the great unknown. We didnt know how his swing would look, how hed chip, how hed putt, how his mannerisms would be. Apparently, neither did he.?And so our great unknown is now also his great unknown. Woods admitted that his game is vulnerable, and we can speculate that he himself feels vulnerable right now as well.Theres an excellent chance that this isnt the end of the road, that this is a speed bump on his way to a comeback, rather than his Ben Hogan finish.Theres also a chance, small as it might be, that Woods walk-off is more figurative than literal. That after two decades atop the golf world, 14 major championships, 79 PGA Tour victories and the domination of an entire era, this might be the uncelebrated ending. The great unknown might forever remain concealed. Lance Lenoir Jersey . With Parker having a quiet game for once, Nicolas Batum and Boris Diaw provided the scoring as France won its first major basketball title by beating Lithuania 80-66 on Sunday. It was a victory that ended a decade of frustration for Parker and a talented French generation, which lost the final against Spain two years ago and took bronze in 2005. Justin March-Lillard Jersey . 10 Texas Rangers jersey for one last time. Young formally announced his retirement Friday after returning to Rangers Ballpark, his baseball home for all but the last of his 13 major league seasons. http://www.cheapcowboysjerseyschina.com/dalton-schultz-jersey/ . Haas said he "felt a lot of pain" in his right shoulder when he slammed his racket to the ground in frustration after losing his serve at 3-3 in the first set. LAC DE PAYOLLE, France -- A gastronomical, sporting and cultural glance at Stage 7 of the Tour de France on Friday:Region: The stage began in LIsle-Jourdain in the Gers region and followed a 162.5-kilometer (101-mile) route to Lac de Payolle in the Hautes Pyrenees.Aperitif: Hypocras, a medieval recipe mixing wine, cinnamon, ginger, sugar and nutmeg.Baguette and butter: British rider Steve Cummings won the stage, which came to a bizarre end when an inflatable arch marking the final kilometer collapsed. Adam Yates, a British rider with the Orica team, was hit by the arch and reached the finish with a bloodied chin. Greg Van Avermaet of Belgium, who was in a breakaway with Cummings, held on to the yellow jersey he claimed two days earlier. Overall favorites Chris Froome and Nairo Quintana finished in the main pack during the first stage in the Pyrenees.Plat du jour: A plate of Noir de Bigorre ham. Its one of the finest and softest cured hams in the world, made from black pigs fed with grass, cereals and acorns. Another local specialty is garbure, a mountain soup made with cabbage and chunks of ham.Culture: The Pyrenees are part of Tour de France lore but the most popular sport in the Midi-Pyrenees region is rugby, which is like a religion in many villages. The most-titled club in France, Stade Toulousain, has won a record 19 French Championship titles plus foour European Cups. Dak Prescott Jersey. Vin du jour: Jurancon Sec is a dry white wine produced in the foothills of the Pyrenees with Gros Manseng and Petit Manseng grapes grown on mountain slopes then carefully hand-picked by local winemakers. Its a richly-flavored wine with floral aromas and a well-balanced acidity.Stat of the Day: 1. The complete peloton of 198 riders started the stage. It was the first time in 103 editions of the Tour de France that the entire bunch was still racing this late.Quote of the Day: I had no time to react. Its a good thing it was just me on my own. It could have been a lot worse with the peloton sprinting at 70 kph (45 mph). Adam Yates, after getting hit by an inflatable arch.Dessert: The spit cake, or gateau a la broche, has been baked in southwestern France for centuries in wood burning ovens. The traditional recipe with flour, eggs, butter, sugar, salt, rum and vanilla is quite simple but requires patience as the dough needs to be dribbled very slowly over the spit.Next order: Stage 8 on Saturday is a much more challenging 184-kilometer (114-mile) leg from Pau to Bagneres-de-Luchon featuring four serious climbs, beginning with the Col du Tourmalet, which is so difficult its labeled beyond classification.

Surfing, for me, was a consuming, urgent lust that wouldnt fade until it was consummated, at a rustic surf camp in California. Tashawn Bower Jersey . Never mind that I was 15 and from a landlocked Boston suburb where, I later learned, being a surfer is synonymous with masochism. Never mind that I had yet to meet anyone who surfed. Or that Id had to take my lifeguarding test twice.As soon as I saw that surfer gliding across a tiny Cape Cod wave, there was no turning back.What I didnt know was that the sport would become a kind of passport, pain point and calling card all in one. I couldnt have imagined that, 20 years later, it would be a gateway to both my dream career and a contested space, where Id be alternately glowing in the embrace of a global family and struggling to find where I fit in.When summer came around again, I took all my babysitting money and some of my moms air miles and landed at a surf school in San Clemente, California, a wave-centric town where the flames of my passion grew to new heights. To some, San Clemente is known as the moneyed village where President Richard Nixon retired. To me, it was a magical land where parents drove Volkswagen buses piled high with boards; kids had golden-brown skin and sun-bleached hair; and the air smelled of campfires and eucalyptus.My first wave, however, was far from divine. It was at a heavy shorebreak -- no fun for neophytes -- and on my first ride I washed up on the sand into a spray of pebbles, with my polka dot bikini top around my waist. Far from the ecstasy that imbues most surfers first times, I had my doubts. Was this going to be as bad as the torment of gym class?But after a few sessions at a gentler spot, I actually got the hang of it. My bikini stayed on. I made friends. I got tan. And I felt strong and beautiful and free. Thats no small thing when youre sporting glasses, braces and pubertys effects all in one awkward bundle. Nothing made me feel as good as surfing and, whatever markings of adolescence I might have had on the outside, on the inside I was starting to become a more confident girl.The week in San Clemente -- camping on the bluff, surfing three times a day and eating hot dogs under the stars -- felt like a year. In fact, it changed my life. I returned to the camp the next summer, this time as a counselor, and bought my first board (a terrible, paper-thin choice for a beginner). Between family ski trips and school breaks, I spent winter weekends watching every surf movie I could find, dreaming of sunnier climes and sparkling seas.After four years of college in New York City, where I still clung to my ocean-bound love, I wanted to see what building a life around surfing would look like. I moved to Bondi Beach in Sydney, still seedy in parts and bustling with expats. We waited tables and cooked brekkies for hungover Brits, and saved up for camper vans and surfaris. In truth, my surfing didnt get much better, but my ideas about how to live definitely were.Yet for all the enviable evenings at open-air restaurants with a table full of Kiwi cooks or sultry afternoons on Bondis crowded beach, what I didnt resolve was how to dive into adulthood without abandoning my passion. It seemed easy for Aussies with leathery skin and scruffy beards. But it wasnt like that for me.For a while, I resented surfing because it complicated life choices. Where I was from, women became lawyers, doctors and academics -- jobs with educational distinction and clear career paths. But I knew there had to be a way to do both -- to have my sun-splashed Saturdays in the waves, and work at something I loved during the week.The big caveat, of course, is that its not all perfect: Ive hit major stumbling blocks on land and, yes, Im still scared of getting pounded in the water, pebbles or not. But this summer, after an intense few years of learning the ropes and working nonstop, Im surfing regularly again -- not big waves and not heavy shorebreaks, but paddling out nonetheless. In essence, its a surfing life on my own terms, in a way that feels strong and beautiful and free. Roc Thomas Jersey . -- Three close looks at the bucket, three misses. Adam Thielen Jersey . Radwanska, making her debut in the Seoul tournament, hit eight aces in a match that lasted 1 hour, 4 minutes at Olympic Park tennis stadium. "It was definitely a very good match -- I was playing really good tennis," Radwanska said. http://www.cheapvikingsjerseyselite.com/?tag=cheap-laquon-treadwell-jersey . The CFLs leading rusher kept adding to his gaudy numbers this season and scored the winning touchdown with just over two minutes to play. The New Westminster, B.C., native plowed three yards into the end zone for the last score of a heated, see-saw battle between the two teams with the best records in the CFL. NEWARK, Del. -- Elena Delle Donne had dreamed of playing basketball in the Olympics since she was little.Shell get her chance next week as a member of the U.S. womens team. Before heading to Rio, Delle Donne got an opportunity to celebrate at home in Delaware with a lot of the fans who have been watching her play since she was in eighth grade.She scored 10 points to help the U.S. beat France 84-62 in an exhibition game at the University of Delaware on Wednesday night.It was by far the most emotional game I played at [Delaware], said Delle Donne, who helped Delaware reach the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament her senior year. Seeing faces that had watched me here since eighth grade and have been on the entire journey with me and now see me in a USA jersey. Its been my dream my entire life. Its so special to come out and share it with them. This is a really special night. There have been a lot of special nights on this court. This is the biggest night. Its a dream come true for me and the fans as well.A loud, spirited crowd gave her quite the ovation when she was announced before the start of the game. They cheered for her and the rest of the U.S. team the rest of the game.Thats amazing what happened today, Diana Taurasi said. Thats really awesome to see the fans come out and support her and us. Shes obviously done so much for the state. That was really nice for us to get a reception like that for our team. Its rare that we play in America were usually across the pond. That was cool, getting the USA chants from the whole crowd, that felt really good. That hasnt happened a lot in my 14 years with the national team.The game was a rematch of the 2012 London Olympics gold-medal game, which the Americans won 86-50. This time the U.S. took a halff to get going, which wasnt a total surprise, because the Americans have had little training since getting together for the first time as a full team Saturday in Los Angeles. Davion Davis Jersey. They played Monday night against a U.S. select team, winning by four, before flying across country for this three-game exhibition series. Frances core has been together for months qualifying for the Rio Olympics in a last-chance tournament in June.The U.S. led by only one at the half, but Charles and Moore spearheaded a 9-2 spurt to start the third quarter to create some space. The Americans extended the lead to 63-46 after three quarters.France couldnt get within 15 the rest of the way.Marine Johannes scored 13 points to lead France.Tina Charles scored 17 points and Maya Moore added 13 to lead the Americans.With the U.S. leading 12-9 early on, Delle Donne made a hustle play on the defensive end, sprinted down the court and was rewarded with an open 3-pointer much to the delight of the fans.The U.S. extended the lead to six, but France wouldnt capitulate, taking a brief 31-30 advantage late in the first half. The Americans led 32-31 at the break.The Americans will face Canada on Friday in Bridgeport, Connecticut. France will play Australia in the second game of this exhibition series. All four teams will conclude play at Madison Square Garden in New York on Sunday.From there the U.S. will head to Houston to meet up with the mens basketball Olympic team before both head to Rio together.
