History was made in the Football League play-off semi-finals as all the best-placed teams were beaten for the first time. Pepe Reina Jersey . Brighton, Walsall and Accrington Stanley all suffered play-off heartbreak, losing to Sheffield Wednesday, Barnsley and AFC Wimbledon respectively.The Seagulls had finished 15 points ahead of Wednesday in the Championship, Walsall 10 points ahead of Barnsley in League One and Accrington 10 clear of the Dons in League Two. But, for the first time in the play-offs, none of the three teams who finished highest made the final.The last third-placed team to miss out on the Championship final was Nottingham Forest in 2009/10 while in League One it was MK Dons in 2008/09, with the final for the last five seasons being contested by third vs fourth.The previous two sides to finish fourth in League Two (where there are three automatic promotion positions) had made the final, but the five before them had all missed out. Watch highlights as Brighton drew with Sheffield Wednesday in their second leg Since the introduction of the play-offs in 1987 there have been several examples of teams missing out on promotion after finishing well ahead of their rivals in the regular season.However, the stats before this years play-offs favoured progress for at least one of Brighton, Walsall or Accrington.In fact, 39.5% of the teams that had finished in the top play-off place across the three divisions had been promoted. Barnsley reached the League One final after a thumping win over Walsall Only 21% of teams in the second play-off spot had been successful while those in the bottom two places went up 19.8% of the time.In the Championship, 37% of the sides who had finished third were promoted, with Norwich, West Ham and Swansea all going up to the Premier League in recent seasons after missing out on the top two.A good omen for Sheffield Wednesday is that the last three sides to finish sixth and reach the final have all gone on to win promotion, while only once in the last 17 seasons has the team finishing fourth - Hull this year - gone up. AFC Wimbledon made it past Accrington in League Two In League One, where Walsall missed out on second place by a point, the play-offs have proved more unpredictable in the past.Before this year, teams in third had gone up 33.30% of the time, a slightly better success rate than those in fourth (25.90%), fifth (18.50%) and sixth (22.20%).But Accrington had more reason to be optimistic as almost half (48.10%) of the teams that had finished fourth in League Two had gone up through the play-offs.Those in fifth (18.50%), sixth (14.80%) and seventh (18.50%) had not enjoyed anywhere near as much success.Who will win promotion this year from the play-offs?

HOMESTEAD, Fla. Womens Uruguay Jerseys . -- NASCAR chairman Brian France staunchly defended Sunday the health of the sport, saying that it is in a good spot to replace Sprint as an entitlement sponsor amid television ratings and attendance declines.In his first general news conference with motorsports media since January, a feisty France also staunchly defended his commitment to diversity, a commitment that was challenged when he endorsed Donald Trump earlier this year.Nobody wants to hear my political views ... so I wont be talking about that, France said before the season-ending race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. But on diversity, nobody in this company has worked harder, done more and resourced it better than me.I founded [NASCARs] diversity council. I fought for every single thing that makes sense because thats my core belief: Diversity is very, very important. I talk about it frequently. And my efforts there should never be challenged no matter what my political view. Thats a ridiculous thing to do.With all but two of the Chase for the Sprint Cup race television ratings down at least 10 percent, the track public-operating companies reporting admission revenue down 9 percent after the Daytona 500 and potentially seven of NASCARs charters (its version of franchises) changing hands as teams still have trouble finding sponsorship, France said the sport is in a better position than those numbers indicate.We are still very pleased with our position in sports, France said. The audience isnt going away at all. Its sliding to different places, consuming in different ways. ... Our digital consumption is off the charts.Multicar teams Richard Petty Motorsports, Roush Fenway Racing and Stewart-Haas Racing are among well-established teams that are still seeking significant sponsorship to field one of their cars in 2017 that they fielded in 2016.You have some teams that for whatever the reasons cant compete at such a high level and they have some problems, and thats throughout history, France said. Its not abnormal at all.The other hurdle for NASCAR this year has been finding a replacement for Sprint, which will leave this year after 13 seasons of sponsoring the sport. NASCAR has not announced a new sponsor. Industry insiders have indicated Monster Energy is the leading candidate. Monster Energy sports marketing director Mitch Covington said last week he would not respond to rumors.Its taken a little longer than I thought, France said. But its also a big agreement, and its an important agreement. Its not just dollars and cents. Its a fit for us. ... Im confident were going to end up in a very good spot.France also said that NASCAR will look at rewarding the regular-season champion and that discussions continue to bring additional manufacturers into the sport.Would I like to have everything perfect? Of course I would, France said. Thats sports and thats a competitive business, and the model is changing a little bit, too. ... Were pleased with the health of the sport. Cheap Uruguay Soccer Jerseys . Any real chance at payback wont come until the playoff. Still, Pittsburgh knows its taut 3-2 win over the Bruins on Wednesday night is a pretty good place to start laying the groundwork. "They are a very good defensive team," Penguins forward Brandon Sutter said. Cheap Football Uruguay Jerseys . "I was fortunate to play many years at this level with a great organization and unbelievable teammates," said Hejduk in a statement. http://www.cheapuruguayjerseysauthentic.com/ . The move comes after the Canadiens were approached by the Buffalo Sabres for permission to speak to Dudley - a former Sabres player and head coach. "The Sabres called for permission and I appreciate that, Im flattered, Dudley told TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun of ESPN. The Monday night matchup of the New York Giants (No. 18 in ESPNs Football Power Index) versus the Cincinnati Bengals (No. 17 in FPI) is strength against strength and weaknesses against weakness. The Bengals strong offense (fifth overall in efficiency this season) will go against the Giants eighth-ranked defense, while Eli Manning will lead the Giants terrible offense (No. 24 in efficiency) against the Bengals Swiss cheese defense (No. 30 in efficiency). Since both teams also have special-teams units ranked in the low 20s, this really could not be a more even matchup.FPI does give the edge to the Giants (54 percent chance to win), but only because they are at home. In a matchup this close, every little thing will count and could be the deciding factor. One of those factors is coaching decisions on fourth down. So far this season, Giants head coach Ben McAdoo has been a better decision-maker on fourth-down than Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis. Every fourth-down decision these coaches made this season can be analyzed from the perspective of whether going for it was a better decision than punting or kicking aa field goal, in terms of how the decision would change the chance for a team to win. Replica Uruguay Jerseys. . When a team chooses to punt in a situation in which its chances to win would be higher if it tried to convert the fourth down, the difference in the chances to win in the two situations can be called the win probability lost on that play.Summing up the Win Probability Lost for both coaches this season, the edge goes to McAdoo. McAdoo has lost win probability on 16 percent of those for a total win probability lost of 0.17, which ranks No. 23 overall. Lewis has lost win probability in 19 percent of fourth-down decisions for a total Win Probability Lost of 0.25, which ranks 29th overall.Given the even matchups on both sides of the ball, making the right decision at the right time could be the deciding factor, and while neither coach runs away with the edge in decision-making so far this season, the Giants edge in this area reinforce their home-field advantage and FPI chances to win. Cheap NFL Gear Wholesale Black NFL Jerseys Stitched NFL Jerseys China JerseysCheap Jerseys Wholesale China Jerseys Cheap Jerseys 2019 ' ' '

ROSARITO, Mexico -- Former world champion Antonio Margarito reached another milestone Saturday in his comeback as he beat fellow Mexican Ramon Alvarez by split decision in the Baja California Center. Cheap Travis Shaw Jersey .Margarito (40-8, 27 KOs) dropped Alvarez (23-5-2, 15 KOs), the brother of lineal middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez, in the eighth round as he showed he can still be a force to be reckoned with after being out of the ring for more than four years.Scorecards from two judges favored Margarito 97-92. A third judge saw the fight in favor of Alvarez 95-94.Alvarez took the offensive in the second round with jabs, trying to keep Margarito at a distance and hit punches to the lower body. At a distance, Alvarez was more consistent against Margarito, who didnt throw many punches.The 30-year-old Alvarez kept Margarito at bay with straight punches and uppercuts before the Tijuana native started counterpunching and took Alvarez to the ropes.Margaritos jab took over in the fifth round, sending Alvarez to the ropes while avoiding his counterpunching. From the sixth round on, Margarito kept the pressure coming, taking Alvarez off his fight plan and shrugging off his opponents intent to control the rhythm of the fight.Margaritos physical condition took over in the eighth round, and he dropped Alvarez with a straight right. Alvarez tried to rebound in the final two rounds, hitting a left hook that shook Margarito, but it was not enough to change the cards in his favor.After retiring in 2011, Margarito, 38, returned to the ring in March, winning a unanimous decision over Jorge Paez Jr. He has been vocal about fighting in the United States and getting another shot at a world title. Cheap Yovani Gallardo Jersey .

Coach Tom Thibodeau says the former MVP will probably start travelling with the team in the next few weeks. Rose tore the meniscus in his right knee at Portland in November and was ruled out for the remainder of the season by the Bulls.TORONTO - As anyone who has ever tried cleaning a basement or garage filled with junk knows, things get worse before they get better. Toronto FC is at that messy stage of the clean-up. A year ago at this time, the perennial MLS underachiever was 1-10-0 in the league basement and had just fired manager Aron Winter. Today the club sports a new president, manager, chief scout, two new assistant coaches and has brought in 19 new players since the end of last season. The team is 1-6-4, proving that progress can be painfully slow. It stands 18th in the 19-team league, is winless in nine league games and has lost four straight. Toronto has shot itself in the foot, failing to take its chances while dropping nine points from six games by conceding late goals (in stoppage-time on three of those occasions). On the plus side, all six league losses have been by just one goal. "Every league game this season, you can make an argument that we could have won," said manager Ryan Nelsen. "As Ive been saying all the time, were probably the only team in the league that hasnt been beaten by two or three goals in a game yet." Some might say a loss is a loss is a loss. But hope springs eternal for Nelsen as Toronto heads to Boston for a Saturday night game with the New England Revolution (3-4-4). Count New England coach Jay Heaps in the Nelsen camp. He too sees beyond the standings when it comes to Toronto. "Torontos a good team," he told local reporters this week. The makeover has only just begun in Toronto. Nelsen all but salivates at the thought of the summer transfer window opening July 9. Currently 11 points out of a playoff place, Nelsens goal is not to lose any more ground in June until he can make more changes. "Even if thats 10 points off the playoffs come the window, Id be more than confident well have a very good chance getting in (the post-season)," he said. Asked for the reason for that confidence, Nelsen smiled and said: "Because I like the window. Its a nice time." Citing conversations with such noted managers as Sir Alex Ferguson, Sam Allardyce and Harry Redknapp, he said: "They tell me it takes three windows minimum to even get a team to where you want it to be. "And weve only had really half of one — or one really. Were starting to get competitive and when this window comes, I think it will be a wee bit different." As a former well-respected player, Nelsen has plenty of ties in Britain. You can bet he is twisting as many arms as he can. As seems to be Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainments way (remember the 1,300-pound boulder in the Raptors dressing room and Toronto FCs "Burn the Boats" locker-room slogan), Toronto FC chose a new symbol this year for the franchise. For the most part, it seems to have been ignored in the disappointing weeks since. But new president Kevin Payne, an American, proudly pointed to the Inukshuk when he met media during the pre-season. Ignoring the Inukshuks original Inuit inteent as a land marker, Toronto FC actually chose the more modern inunnguaq (or imitation of a person). Cheap Stephen Vogt Jersey. . TFC says the Inukshuk "symbolizes co-operation, balance and unselfishness." "Each stone is a separate entity, yet each supports and is supported by the one above and the one below it. No one piece is any more or any less important than the other. Its strength lies in its unity. Its significance comes from its meaning as a whole," read a TFC handout Be that as it may, come the opening of the transfer window, Nelsen is looking to collect some better rocks. Of the 19 new faces to date, four — Julio Cesar, Ashton Bennett, Taylor Morgan and John Bostock — have already been cast aside. Israeli defender Tal Ben Haim never made it here although Nelsen says talks continue with his former teammate. Attacking midfielder Hogan Ephraim is slated to return to Queens Park Rangers. Veteran defender Danny Califf, brought in for his experience and savvy, has fallen so far down the depth chart youd need a dredger to find him. Califfs crime? He missed a game due to a stomach virus, never got his spot back and has dropped to the back of the bus since. He has become a US$165,000-a-year bench player, seemingly for no fault of his own. Goalie Stefan Frei, who lost his job through injury and Joe Bendiks acrobatics in his absence, is a $200,000 observer come game-time. Young Canadian international Ashtone Morgan, a holdover, is also watching from the bench these days. Jeremy Hall, who has flourished in the midfield this season after shifting from fullback, says change is part of pro soccer. "Our job is to win games and we havent won so the coaching staff and Kevin are trying to do whatever it takes to bring a winning team here," said Hall, who at 24 is on his fourth MLS team. Both Toronto and New England have injury concerns. Nelsen says his injured list includes Justin Braun, Califf, Bobby Convey, Richard Eckersley, Stefan Frei and Darel Russell. Captain Darren ODea may remain at left back, with Steven Caldwell and Doneil Henry at centre back. Ephraim is healthy and could sub for Braun. Star striker Danny Koevermans is ready to play after a 10-month absence due to a knee injury but is being held out of the game because the artificial turf at New England is where he ripped up his knee last July in a 1-0 Toronto victory. TFC has not managed a league win on the road since. Koevermans is expected to make his return next week at home to the Philadelphia Union. New England defender Ryan Guy and midfielder Stephen McCarthy will miss the game through injury while forward Dimitry Imbongo is suspended after being red-carded last week. Defender A.J. Soares (hamstring) is close to returning and Heaps can also count on 20-year-old striker Juan Agudelo who made his debut for New England last week New England is coming off a big 2-0 win in Houston. The Revolution have only scored eight goals this season, but have conceded just nine at the other end. Cheap NFL GearWholesale Black NFL Jerseys Stitched NFL Jerseys China Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Wholesale China Jerseys Cheap Jerseys 2019 ' ' '

When Rosberg approached the same area, he appeared to lift through Turn 8 where yellows were being waved, before gaining on those in front of him through Turn 9 and on the run down to Turn 10.Red Bulls Christian Horner?immediately voiced his doubts about whether Rosberg lifted sufficiently but the championship leader insists he lost time at that part of the circuit.For sure there was a waved yellows but I had a very, very big lift and lost a lot of time as a result, Rosberg said after qualifying. I was also slower than on my previous lap in that yellow sector, or in that yellow seggment or whatever its called so Im sure that will be OK. DeMarcus Cousins Jersey. It came at the end of a qualifying session spanning nearly two hours - double the usual time - due to rain and a frantic Q1 featuring four red flags. Rosberg, who starts alongside teammate and title rival Hamilton on Sunday, said he was just pleased to master the changing conditions for pole.It was a really challenging qualifying, the conditions changing all the time and very exciting out there and in the end. Pretty amazing that it did fully dry out at the end. I mean some kerbs did still have some patches, like going onto the start/ finish you had to be really careful opening DRS.I think you saw a lot of moments coming onto there and yeah, got a really good lap in on that last lap so yeah awesome, very happy with that. Cheap NFL Gear Wholesale Black NFL Jerseys Stitched NFL Jerseys China Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Wholesale China Jerseys Cheap Jerseys 2019 ' ' '

Sri Lanka 166 for 4 (Tharanga 57*, Mendis 57, Vitori 3-52) beat Zimbabwe 160 (Musakanda 36, Williams 35, Gunaratne 3-10, Vandersay 3-50) by six wicketsScorecard and ball-by-ball details Sri Lanka followed a clinical display in the field with steady middle-order batting to chase down 161 with 75 balls to spare and complete a convincing six-wicket victory over Zimbabwe in the tri-series final. Wholesale Sweden Jerseys . Kusal Mendis starred with the bat, hitting ten fours in his sparkling 57, to lead Sri Lankas robust recovery after they had slipped to 42 for 3.Mendis was supported by Upul Tharanga in a 75-run fourth-wicket partnership that put the visitors firmly on course for the win. While Tharanga was decidedly scratchy early on, and survived a couple of chances, he took over the mantle after Mendis departed. He wrapped up proceedings by clubbing a four and a six to finish on 57 not out and, more importantly, put the finishing touches on Sri Lankas successful campaign in his first series as captain.Zimbabwes slump to 160 after opting to bat on a decent Bulawayo track was largely a product of their own failings. Poor shot selection left them chasing the game from an early stage. But the dubious choices began even before a ball was bowled, with the omission of their regular openers in the series, Chamu Chibhabha and Brian Chari.That forced Hamilton Masakadza and Peter Moor to fill the opening slots. Moor, in particular, looked uncomfortable with the promotion, and it was not long before he scooped an innocuous straight delivery from Suranga Lakmal to gift an easy catch to midwicket. Masakadza followed him back soon thereafter when he was trapped in front by a Nuwan Kulasekara in-dipper.Rain interrupted play with Zimbabwe on 20 for 2 in 5.1 overs, but their real troubles began almost an hour after the resumption. A promising third-wicket partnership of 53 between debutant Tarisai Musakanda and Craig Ervine ended when Ervine closed his bat face early to give the simplest of return catches to legspinner Jeffrey Vandersay. Musakanda was busy and energetic during his 36 off 37, but he perished to the same bowler, reaching for a ball that was leaving him to nick to first slip. Then Sikandar Raza missed an attempted sweep by a big margin and Zimbabwe were 89 for 5.They were not yet done shooting themselves in the foot, though. Malcolm Waller and Sean Williams both threw away decent starts with ugly, cross-batted slogs that went high in the air. The tail did not offer much resistance and Zimbabwe were bowled out in 36.3 overs on a pitch that had not offered anything out of the ordinary to the bowlers.That said, Sri Lanka turned out a professional performance with the ball and in the field. Kulasekara and Lakmal bowled with discipline with the new ball to tie down the batsmen from the outset. Vandersay, brought in to replace Nuwan Pradeep, then extracted decent turn and exposed the home teams weakness against spin. Along with left-arm spinner Sachith Pathirana, he pegged Zimbabwe back in the middle overs. The two spinners took 5 for 76 in 17 overs between them, helped by a screamer of a catch by Mendis at short cover to get rid of Graeme Cremer. Asela Gunaratne then cleaned up the tail, finishing with 3 for 10.When the sides came back out to begin the second innings before the lunch interval, Brian Vitori effected a wobble with three early wickets. He pinned Dhananjaya de Silva lbw for a golden duck and snuck one between Niroshan Dickwellas bat and pad to splay his stumps. Then, Kusal Perera slogged him only as far as Waller at mid-on, leaving Sri Lanka on 42 for 3.But Mendis and Tharanga steadied the chase after the break, despite the latters early struggles. Tharanga found it difficult to rotate the strike against spin and was reprieved on 18 when Masakadza spilled a tough chance at short midwicket. He survived through it all, though, while Mendis unfurled a number of glorious cover drives at the other end. By the time Mendis holed out to Williams at deep square leg, Sri Lanka were on course for a thumping win, and it was Tharanga who took them past the finish line in style. Replica Sweden Jerseys .J. -- Marshawn Lynch said Thursday it will be good to get back to football after the Seattle quiet talking running back wrapped up his final mandatory media session of Super Bowl week. Authentic Soccer Sweden Jerseys . LUCIE, Fla. http://www.cheapswedenjerseysauthentic.com/ .J. -- Seven games into a disappointing season, New York Giants defensive catalyst Jason Pierre-Paul is getting the feeling hes back. NEW YORK -- Sidney Crosby got angry, and then the Pittsburgh Penguins got even in a big way against the division-leading New York Rangers.Following a first-period skirmish with Ryan McDonagh, Crosby had two goals and an assist during a five-goal second period and the Penguins shut down the Rangers in a 6-1 rout on Wednesday night.The Penguins held New York without a shot on goal over 23:59 spanning the second and third periods. Scott Wilson, Conor Sheary, Phil Kessel and Matt Cullen also scored for Pittsburgh, and Matt Murray had 16 saves.The Penguins moved two points behind New York for first place in the Metropolitan Division.This is as good of a game as weve played all year, Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said.The Rangers won at Pittsburgh 5-2 on Monday behind a breakout second period, and the Penguins exacted revenge Wednesday in nearly the exact same fashion.We learned from (the last) game, Crosby said.Pittsburgh trailed 1-0 after 20 minutes, but then the defending Stanley Cup champions took control, chasing Henrik Lundqvist after four goals on 17 shots.It starts with scoring, Sheary said. I think weve been having chances and were putting the puck in the net the last few games. I think tonight we got a little puck luck. I think we earned our chances and youre not going to lose much when you score six goals so that was good for us.Wilson got his third of the season 2:02 into the second to tie it. Stationed in front of Lundqvist, Wilson corralled a cross-ice pass from Kessel and fired a forehand shot.Crosby put the Penguins ahead 2:56 later by redirecting Ian Coles point shot. Cole had intercepted Mats Zuccarellos clearing attempt inside the blue line to start the counter attack.Kessel increased Pittsburghs lead to 3-1 with a wrist shot over Lundqvists left shoulder at 10:12, and Crosby pushed the advantage to 4-1 2:45 later with his second of the game and NHL-leading 14th of the season. Crosby and Sheary broke in on a 2-on-1 with McDonagh defending, and Crosbys attempted pass deflected off of McDonaghs stick and fluttered over Lundqvists paddle.We gave them some chances, Marc Staal said. Just an avalanche we couldnt stop.Following Crosbys second goal, New York coach Alain Vigneault replaced Lundqvist with Antti Raanta.The goaltending change didnt work, as Sheary wristed his fourth goal of the season with 3:18 left.

McDonagh had his jersey pulled over his head during the tussle, and officials assessed McDonagh a five-minute major for boarding and Crosby got a two-minute minor for roughing.I saw (Sheary) kind of get in the numbers, Crosby said.

Zuccarello ended the nearly 24-minute shot drought with a backhander with 3:45 left in the game.I cant explain to you at this time exactly what happened, Vigneault said. Obviously Im disappointed.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. Youth Japan Jerseys . --Edmond Sumners free throw with 0.3 seconds left in overtime gave the Musketeers an 83-82 win over Missouri in the opening round of the Tire Pros Invitational on Thursday. He was fouled after Xavier inbounded near midcourt, after a heady timeout that Macura called to give his team a chance to set something up at the end.Sumner was fouled by Missouris Terrence Phillips as both went for the ball along the sideline on the deciding play. He missed the first one short, then rattled in the second for the win.Frankie Hughes scored 24 points for Missouri (1-1), and Kevin Puryear finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds. Phillips scored seven of his 21 points in overtime for Missouri, which never got off a desperation shot after Sumners deciding free throw.I think he was just being aggressive, Missouri coach Kim Anderson said. Im sure hed love to take it back, but you know what? He made a lot of great plays to get us to where we were, so if it wasnt for that it wouldnt come down to that play.Missouri led by 10 in the first half and held the lead most of the second half, but needed to scramble both late in regulation and then from an early five-point deficit in overtime. Missouri went on a 7-0 run late to grab the lead, but Macura made two free throws with 17.8 seconds remaining to tie the game for the 15th and final time.A great basketball game, first of all, Anderson said. I thought our guys did a lot of great things and played one of the top 10 or 15 teams in the country toe-to-toe.BIG PICTUREXavier: It was the second time in three games that the Musketeers were put to the test -- they beat Lehigh 84-81 to open the season last week. ... Xavier missed its last 12 3-pointers, shooting 2 for 22 in the game from long range.Missouri: Hughes is averaging 23.5 points after two games. Only 10 Missouri players have managed to go their entire freshman season averaging more than 10 points. ... The Tigers were outrebounded 52-39.HELLO, AGAINThis is the third straight season that Xavier and Missouri have played.Xavier won 74-58 at Missouri on Dec. 13, 2014, in the start of what was going to be a two-game series, and prevailed again at home 78-66 exactly one year before this meeting -- Nov. 17, 2015.Missouri will be in that position with another non-conference foe later this season, when it meets Arizona for the third consecutive year.UP NEXTXavier: Faces Clemson in the tournament semifinals Friday.Missouri: Faces Davidson in the consolation semifinals Friday. Authentic Soccer Japan Jerseys .

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The new backup for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is a little hobbled.Second-year pro Brett Hundley has an ankle injury that kept him out of practice a second straight night Thursday.Rodgers also didnt practice, given the night off for rest.Hundleys injury, which happened in practice Monday, could impact Green Bays plan for the Hall of Fame game against the Indianapolis Colts in Canton, Ohio, on Sunday.I think you have to be ready for the alternative, coach Mike McCarthy said before Thursdays practice.McCarthy has been mum about playing time for the Packers first preseason game, saying those decisions would be made when he meets with his staff Friday morning.With Rodgers unsure earlier in the week about how long he would play, if at all, Green Bay could turn to a pair of undrafted rookies to operate the offense against a Colts team that plans to play all of its available players.Joe Callahan and Marquise Williams, the unheralded newcomers behind Rodgers and Hundley on the depth chart, apparently were a focal point in the Packers preparations Thursday for the game.The two young quarterbacks were going to play a lot anyway going into it, and the game plan for the offense will reflect that, and thats part of the reason why we started working on that today in the individual meetings, McCarthy said. Thats tthe way it goes. Womens Japan Jerseys.

West Coast coach Adam Simpson has urged fans not to write off the Eagles premiership hopes just yet, saying the team can still contend for the flag even if Nic Naitanui has torn his ACL. Brandon Morrow Jersey .Simpson is bracing for the worst after Naitanui injured his left knee while landing awkwardly during Friday nights 25-point win over Hawthorn at Domain Stadium.Naitanui was on crutches after the match, and the early signs indicate he has torn his anterior cruciate ligament.Scans over the weekend will confirm the extent of the damage.I fear for the worst, hope for the best at the moment. It doesnt look great, a shattered Simpson said.When any of your soldiers get hurt like that, youre going to feel for them.With Naitanui almost certain to play no further part this season, West Coasts flag hopes appear doomed.Naitanui played pivotal roles in recent wins over premiership hopefuls GWS and Hawthorn.The 2012 All-Australian kicked the winning goal against the Giants, and he was pivotal in the ruck against Hawthorn before getting injured in the third quarter.West Coast struggled earlier this season when Naitanui missed six games with an Achilles tendon injury.Although the Eagles ended up winning five of those matches, they were mostly against easy beats.But Simpson is adamant his team can still cause some damage this year, even if its from outside the top four and without Naitanui.Hes one of our best players, and we saw the influence hes had in the past few weeks, Simpson said.But we need to mature to a point where we dont have to rely on just one player to get it done.Its another test for us, which our boys are looking forward to. Its been a different year, but weve found a way to win 15 games.Dont write us off. The seasons still alive and were up for the challenge. Ben Zobrist Jersey . - The Oakland Raiders re-signed offensive lineman Khalif Barnes on Friday. Wholesale MLB Cubs Jerseys . -- Gus Malzahn finally had his day in Fayetteville. http://www.cubsjerseyscheap.com/?tag=fergie-jenkins-jersey .

WINSTON-SALEM, N. Nike Vapormax Off White White 2018 .C. -- The noise from the postgame celebration echoed well outside Wake Forests locker room into the adjacent space where reporters waited to talk to coach Dave Clawson and his players.And who could blame the Demon Deacons for their exuberance? It was the first time any of the players on this roster had enjoyed the feeling of securing bowl eligibility.Wake Forest (6-3, 3-2 ACC) took advantage of two fourth quarter interceptions thrown by Virginias Kurt Benkert, with safety Jessie Bates returning the latter 39 yards for the winning touchdown with 6:47 remaining, as the Deacons defeated UVA 27-20 on Saturday.The victory secured bowl eligibility for Wake Forest for the first time since 2011, when the Deacons lost to Mississippi State in the Music City Bowl.Weve got some kids who have really busted their butts, put a lot into this program, for three, four, five years, Clawson said. People say, `Why do you coach? You can ask my wife. I dont sleep. Why do you do this to yourself? The high of enjoying moments like that is why you keep going at it. Theres no feeling in the world like getting to share that with your team. Thats what keeps you going.The team had its stalwart defense to thank, as the pair of fourth quarter picks directly led to 10 of Wake Forests points. Cameron Glenn returned the first interception 41 yards to set up a short Mike Weaver field goal, which tied it at 20-all.It took just three more plays for the Deacons defense to generate another turnover, as Benkert was flushed from the pocket and threw a panicked pass across his body into a host of black-clad defenders. Bates secured the interception and needed only a couple of blocks to find space along the home sideline and get into the end zone.Sometimes youre going to get sacked, Virginia coach Bronco Mendenhall said. Its sometimes better to take the sack than deliver the ball in traffic. (Benkert) was trying so hard to extend plays, and I applaud him for that. He doesnt have to do it all by himself.The teams traded momentum through the first three quarters. Jordan Ellis 6-yard touchdown run punctuating a 75-yard game-opening drive for Virginia.But Wake Forest took control soon after, as quarterback John Wolford scored on a 64-yard touchdown run. A Weaver field goal and a short touchdown pass to Cam Serigne just before halftime gave the Deacons a 17-6 lead at the break.But Virginia (2-7, 1-4) rallied in the third quarter, as Benkert threw a 2-yard scoring toss to Doni Dowling. The Cavaliers then recovered an onside kick, and later took the lead when Benkert scrambled long enough to find an open Taquan Mizzell for a 45-yard touchdown pass to make it 20-17.Its not always pretty. Its not how you script it, Clawson said. But we ran for more than 200 yards, our defense played really well, and we got a fourth quarter comeback to get to six wins.THE TAKEAWAY:Wake Forest: The Deacons ground game paved the way for their offensive success. Wake Forest eschewed all pretense of play-calling balance in the early stages; Wolford didnt attempt a pass in the first quarter. The Cavaliers defense simply could not stop the ground game, as Wolford combined with running backs Cade Carney and Matt Colburn for 130 rushing yards on 14 carries by the end of the quarter, including Wolfords 64-yard scoring run.I was feeling pretty fast, Wolford said. I just didnt want to fumble. That was my whole thought process, so if I felt anyone get close, I was gonna go two hands (on the ball). I was able to pull away. Its always fun to get those big runs, because people dont expect it.Virginia: The loss ensured the Cavaliers would finish with a losing record for the fifth consecutive season. Their last bowl appearance, like Wake Forest, came in 2011, when they lost to Auburn 43-24 in the Chick-fil-A Bowl.ILL TAKE THAT:Wake Forests defense forced three turnovers, and the Deacons scored 17 of their 27 points on the possessions which immediately followed those takeaways. It was the fourth time this season that the Deacons forced at least three turnovers. Bates interception was his fifth of the season, good enough for second in the ACC, and his second return for a touchdown of the year.The difference in the game today was Wake Forest took the ball away three times, and we didnt take it away, Mendenhall said. There might be other story lines that branch off from there, but really you can trace that to being the difference in the game.UP NEXT:Wake Forest: The Deacons will play their final road game of the season next Saturday when they travel to No. 5 Louisville. Wake Forest has not beaten a nationally-ranked opponent since knocking off then-No. 22 Florida State 35-30 in 2011, and it has not beaten a team ranked in the top 5 since a 1946 win at then-No. 4 Tennessee.Virginia: The Cavaliers return to Charlottesville to host Miami next Saturday.

SAN MARTIN, Calif. Authentic Kris Bryant Jersey . -- When Gerina Piller hit her tee shot into a hazard and double-bogeyed the ninth hole at CordeValle Golf Club on Friday during the second round of the U.S. Womens Open, one interested and knowledgeable member of her gallery wasnt worried.Shell find a way to get it back, said her husband, Martin, who plays on the PGA Tour. I dont really get nervous watching her. Her game is pretty good.Indeed, it is. While Martin looked on in shorts and a T-shirt, protecting his fair complexion with a sun umbrella, Gerina did what she has done often recently: get in contention to win a tournament. Piller rallied quickly after making a 7 on No. 9 with two birdies on the next three holes. Two bogeys on the closing stretch gave her an even-par 72 and 36-hole total of 142.Being 2-under, I dont think Im far off, Piller said. There are some tough holes out there, and the wind can switch at any second. Thats the great thing about the U.S. Open. It keeps a lot of people in it.Piller, 31, is within striking distance of her first LPGA victory and also giving herself a shot at moving into the top 15 of the Rolex Rankings, from her current 16th position, and making the U.S. Olympic womens golf team when qualifying is finalized on Monday. Lexi Thompson (No. 4) and Stacy Lewis (No. 8) have locked up berths on the U.S. team. Jessica Korda (No. 24) is in position to make a big move after shooting 4-under for 36 holes, while Brittany Lincicome (No. 25) hurt her chances for a late surge after a 75-72 start.With a strong finish, Piller can also vault past Bo-Mee Lee of South Korea, who entered the weekend ranked No. 14 in the Rolex Rankings but missed the cut with a 6-over 150I think it would be a really big deal for me, personally, Piller said earlier this week of the Olympics. I love my country. I love America. And nothing gives me more honor than to put on the Stars and Stripes. And to have that honor, to represent your country at an event like that, would be pretty awesome.The highlight of Pillers career came last fall at the Solheim Cup, when, with a dramatic American comeback hanging in the balance, she sank a 10-foot par putt to beat Caroline Masson as the U.S. rallied from far behind to defeat Europe.Thats something shell remember the rest of her life, Martin said. Anytime youre playing for your country, it just means more. It was a time where she clutched it up and did something. Not only was it great for her but it was great for all the other girls. For them to come back from that deficit was pretty remarkable.Buoyed by coming through under extreme pressure, Piller has had three top-three finishes -- and four other top-10s -- this season, but is still looking for her first-career win. Martin, meanwhile, hasnt experienced victory on the PGA Tour yet, but has five career Web.com Tour wins.I wish I knew what that secret sauce was, Martin said. It seems like when you win a tournament, you save shots that you would normally waste. You get a ball up-and-down. Between finishing 10th and finishing first, theres not a ton of difference. Its frustrating when youre close to lead and dont pull it out, but at the same time, youre playing really well. And shes done a really good job of reminding herself that. Youre playing against the best in the world -- its going to be hard.Piller is trying to keep things simple and not let the Olympics situation complicate her mindset.That [the Olympics] is on the line, but thats something I cant control, Piller said. I cant control where I finish. I can control the process. And so thats kind of my main goal this week is just sticking with the process. And even with trying to win this tournament, thats obviously an outcome. And if I come in here giving every shot my all, with my ability I think that Ill be in contention and hopefully get my first win. And if I do, then that will definitely take care of that world ranking.If she does qualify for the Games, will she play given the concerns about health and safety in Brazil? She hasnt made up her mind yet, Martin said. Its kind of been like if she makes the team then shell cross that bridge. I dont know what shell decide. Knowing her, shell probably want to go and represent her country.The Pillers are spending the week at Juli Inksters home in Los Altos, California. Inkster, who captained the 2015 U.S. Solheim Cup team, is more than a Hall of Fame golfer and inspirational leader, according to Gerina.Shes actually a really good cook, believe it or not, Gerina said. I havent had a bad meal over there. Her chicken parm is pretty money.The murder of five Dallas police officers Thursday night was particularly tough on Gerina. The Pillers live near Dallas, where Martin was born. Gerinas step-father, Alan Stevenson, has been on the police force in Roswell, New Mexico, Gerinas hometown, for two decades.Its heart-wrenching, because police officers are humans, Piller said. Theyre not perfect. There are some who may do something wrong. They have less than seconds to make a decision. Im 100 percent with the police. My father retires this year. Im super excited for him. Hes done everything from working on the streets to doing polygraphs. Right now, he works on the task force. Hes a commander.On the weekend, playing a game, Piller will try to be in command of her skills.I think shes already kind of a star now, Martin said. The only thing thats missing is a victory somewhere. Shes good enough to play with anyone. Its just a matter of walking through the fire and doing it. Authentic Javier Baez Jersey . Here are his mid-season NBA awards.  MVP: (KEVIN DURANT-Thunder) - Has been sensational this season and more importantly, the most consistent player in the league. Considering that his team has been without star guard Russell Westbrook and with the free agent departure of sharpshooter Kevin Martin, hes had to carry the majority of the load to not only keep his team afloat but more importantly, at an elite level. Authentic Drew Smyly Jersey .

INCHEON, South Korea -- Carlota Ciganda beat Alison Lee with a birdie on the first hole of a playoff Sunday in the rainy LPGA KEB HanaBank Championship after each player lost big leads.The 26-year-old Spaniard won her first LPGA Tour title with a 6-foot putt after Lees birdie chip from the rough off the back edge of the green missed a half-inch to the right.Its very special because its been a tough few years for me, Ciganda said. My coach [Rogelio Echeverria] passed away two years ago, and I had to look for a new coach. I changed caddies, too. Its been a long journey, but at the same time its really nice to get the win. I love competing and playing and being an athlete. I couldnt ask for a better life.She is now working with Terry McNamara, Annika Sorenstams former caddie, and instructor Jorge Parada.Ciganda overcame a 5-stroke deficit to Lee and had a 4-stroke lead after 10, then blew a 5-stroke advantage on the final five holes -- getting into the playoff when Lee bogeyed the par-5 18th after hitting her third shot into the water.The last three, four holes I was pretty nervous, Ciganda said. I was looking more and I was 1-up, and then I was on 18 I saw I was 1-down and I couldnt believe it. So its just golf. Only one can win. Anything can happen in the last few holes.In tears after the round, Lee declined to speak the media.Ciganda played the final five holes in 4 over -- making a double-bogey on 14 and bogeys on 16 and 18 -- for a 2-over 70 at Sky 72.The event had an emotional start with Se Ri Pak ending her Hall of Fame career Thursday in front of her home fans.I was just trying to stay in the present and hit as best I could, Ciganda said. In the end, it was so close. I think I was the lucky one today, and Im very happy.Three strokes ahead of U.S. Womens Open champion Brittany Lang entering the day, Lee had a 75 to match Ciganda at 10-under 278 on the Ocean Course. The 21-year-old American, still a student at UCLA, is in her second season on the tour.Ciganda birdied five of the first eight holes, taking a 1-stroke lead with a 6-foot birdie putt on the par-3 eighth. The two-time European Solheim Cup player added a 20-footer on the par-4 10th for a 4-stroke margin and was 5 ahead soon after.I didnt look at the leaderboard until I think it was on No. 12, Ciganda said. I saw I was winning by 5. I wasnt expecting that. Authentic Carlos Zambrano Jersey. She compounded trouble in and just above a greenside bunker into a double-bogey on the par-4 14th, dropped another stroke on the par-4 16th and three-putted 18.I was positive, Ciganda said. I just tried my best, and I tried to play each shot the best I could. So its not that I was giving up or anything.Needing a par on 18 for her first victory, Lee hit a wedge that smacked into the front bank and bounced into the water. She was able to drop a few feet off the right edge of the green, chipped past and made a 5-footer to force the playoff.Lee had four birdies in a five-hole stretch in the middle of the round to seemingly fall out of contention. But while Ciganda faltered in the group ahead, the American made a 5-foot birdie putt on the par-4 15th and a 12-footer on the par-3 17th.It was tough. It was windy at the end and a little bit of rain, so it wasnt easy, Ciganda said. But Im from the north in Spain, which is cold and rainy in the winter, so Ive been practicing a lot in those conditions.Chinas Shanshan Feng (70) and South Koreas Min Sun Kim (71) tied for third at 8 under. Feng had her third straight top-four finish in Asia after tying for fourth in China and finishing second last week in Taiwan. The tour will return to China next week for the Blue Bay LPGA on Hainan Island, then make stops in Malaysia and Japan.Lang had three bogeys in a 75 to tie for third at 7 under.Lexi Thompson, the winner last year, had a 73 to tie for 13th at 4 under. Second-ranked Ariya Jutanugarn (69) and No. 3 In Gee Chun (71) also were 4 under.Top-ranked Lydia Ko closed with a 74 to tie for 51st at 3 over. She has four victories this year, one behind Jutanugarn for the tour lead.Fourth-ranked Brooke Henderson also struggled, shooting 78-72 on the weekend to finish at 5 over. The Canadian teen plans to play all six weeks in Asia.Ciganda is the third European winner this year, joining Swedens Anna Nordqvist and Germanys Caroline Masson.I think you have to enjoy life first, enjoy being out there, and then the win just comes to you, Ciganda said. Like I think if you are really looking for the win, its tough because you put more pressure. I think when you let it happen, thats when it happens. Cheap NFL Gear Wholesale Black NFL Jerseys Stitched NFL Jerseys China Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Wholesale China Jerseys Cheap Jerseys 2019 ' ' '
