Sussex 111 for 1 (Nash 62*) trail Glamorgan 252 (Wallace 61, Wagg 57, Archer 4-91) by 141 runsScorecard Luke Wrights decision to insert Glamorgan paid dividends as they fell for a below par 252 in 60. Under Armour Curry One Italia .1 overs, before Chris Nash and Ed Joyce compiled an opening partnership of 111 that kept Sussexs hopes of a late promotion challenge simmering. Sussex trailed by 142 at the end of the first day and are well placed to gain a substantial lead on first innings.Not for the first time this season Glamorgan relied on their middle and late order batsmen to get them out of trouble, slumping to 56 for 5 before lunch. The last five wickets added 196 runs with Graham Wagg and Mark Wallace scoring half centuries and Owen Morgan, who last week scored an undefeated 103 as night watchman against Worcestershire, again impressing with 32 not out.Jofra Archer, a former West Indies U-19 player whose breakthrough in all three formats in the past month has won a contract until the end of next season, achieved career-best championship figures of 4 for 91, but he will bowl better than this and be less rewarded.Nick Selman, who three weeks ago carried his bat against Northants, scoring 122 not out, was out to the fifth ball of the innings, and has now failed to score in four successive innings. He was quickly followed by Jacques Rudolph, whose miserable season continued when he gloved an innocuous delivery from Archer down the leg side to the wicketkeeper.The Sussex seamers continued to take wickets, but Glamorgans batsmen contributed to their downfall with some poor shot selection - Will Bragg following one from Steve Magoffin and David Lloyd, who struck his first ball for six, nudging to slip.Wagg and Aneurin Donald began Glamorgans revival with a partnership of 50, before Donald played on to Archer, and although Craig Meschede was out soon afterwards, Wagg went on to score 57 with ten boundaries before giving David Wiese a return catch.Wallace top scored with 61 from 59 balls, putting on 44 with Wagg and 62 with Morgan who surely deserves promotion in the batting order from No. 9. He shared a stand of 33 for the last wicket with Michael Hogan that enabled Glamorgan to gain two batting points.The green pitch was soon put into perspective by Nash and Joyce, who were soon into their stride, striking nine boundaries from the opening 12 overs, as Glamorgans opening bowlers Craig Meschede and Timm Van Der Gugten failed to make any impact.Nash reached his fifty from 89 balls, but Joyce nibbled at one from Meschede three overs before the close, having completed his thousand runs for the season.Scarpe Under Armour Uomo Stephen Curry Two Suprise Party Mid Bianche/Azzurro .

The gold medal went to Swiss snowboarder Iouri Podladtchikov.NASHVILLE -- The Nashville Predators have hired Phil Housley as an assistant coach to fill the spot left open by the firing of associate coach Peter Horachek after nine seasons with the franchise. General manager David Poile announced the move Tuesday just hours after the Predators confirmed Horacheks firing in a statement posted on the franchises website. Housley played 21 NHL seasons with eight different teams, and he just coached the United States to a gold medal at the World Junior Championships. "Phil brings a unique skill set to our coaching staff," Poile said in a statement. "He was one of the most talented offensive defencemen to play in the NHL, and he has worked extensively with young players during his coaching career. He will continue to focus his efforts on our young defencemen and assisting on the power play." Housley, 49, ranks fourth all-time among defencemen with 1,232 points as a seven-time All Star. He also was an assistant coach for the United States at the World Championships where the Americans took home bronze for their first medal at the tournament in nine years.

"A coach with history as a defenceman who was offensively gifted and excelled on the power play is something we have never had on our coaching staff," coach Barry Trotz said. "His insight and viewpoint will bring a fresh perspective to our team." The hiring comes after Horachek reportedly was fired Monday night, though the Predators would not comment. They finally confirmed Horacheks firing Tuesday posting a statement on the teams website. Poile thanked Horachek for his contributions on the website, but the GM said in a short statement they made the "difficult decision" to allow Horachek to pursue other opportunities. Horachek had been with the Predators since June 2003, and he interviewed for Dallas head coaching job in 2011. With Nashville, he helped develop the Predators draft picks and worked with the power play and the penalty kill. But the Predators went 16-23-9 for their first season below .500 since 2002-03.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts may have salvaged their season Sunday. Chad Williams Cardinas Jersey .Barely.By avoiding their first 0-3 start in five years, Indy will not have to dig itself out of an historic hole to make the playoffs. Nope, all they have to do now is catch the Houston Texans, who have a one-game lead in the AFC South over three other teams that have combined for only two wins this season.Its huge, coach Chuck Pagano said after Sundays 26-22 victory over San Diego. Doomsday, soon thereafter. It isnt, but it is.Pagano was aware of how much more trouble Indy (1-2) could have been in with a third consecutive loss. Under the current playoff format, established in 1990, only five teams that have started 0-3 made the postseason. The last was the 1998 Buffalo Bills.So if the Colts do make it back to the playoffs, for the fourth time in five years, they will look back at T.Y. Hiltons tackle-breaking 63-yard TD reception with 1:17 to play as the turning point.Hilton had a huge day, catching eight passes for 174 yards and the winning score -- his best statistical day since the 2014 season. And he saved the game twice -- first with a spinning 8-yard catch on fourth-and-7 just after the 2-minute warning and then two plays later when Andrew Luck hit him in stride, allowing him to get free and zig-zag his way down the field.You need that first one to start stacking wins together, Luck said. Its hard to verbalize how important it is, but Im sure you can tell by my demeanor up here, it means a lot.Especially now that the Colts face a midseason trip to London, where they will take on Jacksonville with a chance to get back to .500.Meanwhile, for San Diego (1-2), things may have gotten a lot tougher.Starting inside linebacker Manti Teo left in the first quarter with an Achilles tendon injury. Coach Mike McCoy said after the game that the former Notre Dame star will go through more tests Monday morning to determine the severity of the injury.Here are some things learned from Sundays game:GOOD HANDS?: Indys defense snuffed out one possible score with less than 2 minutes to go in the first half, thanks to Erik Waldens strip sack. But on the ensuing series, the Chargers turned the tables by ripping the ball out of Lucks arms. Caraun Reid then scooped it up and ran it back for a 61-yard TD return for the tying score. Its the second straight week an opponent has scored off of a fumble by Luck -- a trouble spot Indy must get fixed.STRANGE DAYS: San Diego had its own problems with some strange calls. After taking a 55-yard field goal off the board when the Chargers were called for leverage, the Colts drove for a TD. Philip Rivers was 26 of 39 for 330 yards and was called for unsportsmanlike conduct after a 43-yard completion to the Colts 6-yard line that led to a field goal instead of a TD. Worse, Rivers may have set himself up for a fine when he said: Thats the most unfair penalty Ive ever gotten. Ive never gotten one like that. Ive never gotten one for really doing nothing. It maybe was the cleanest thing said on that field today and he (the official) was 30 yards away. From what I hear it looked like nothing on the TV, but I dont know. Playing smarter would help, too.INJURIES HURT: After losing playmaking receiver Keenan Allen in Week 1 and versatile running back Danny Woodhead in Week 2, the Chargers offense didnt look the same. Melvin Gordon followed up his first career 100-yard game by running 16 times for 35 yards and one TD, and Travis Benjamin had four catches for 82 yards. Rivers will have to continue spreading the ball around to make up for the absence of two key players.THE STREAK: Frank Gore looked as though he was finally going to end the Colts streak of consecutive games without a 100-yard rusher at 52. Not so fast. After running 13 times for 70 yards and one TD in the first half, the Colts played the second half without their starting right tackle or starting right guard because of back injuries. The result: Gore ran eight times for 12 yards and Indy will try to snap its 53-game streak in London.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Budda Baker Youth Jersey . Meanwhile, there were huge victories for Sunderland and West Ham over fellow relegation rivals, leaving the battle to avoid the drop up for grabs with the bottom 11 teams separated by just six points. Eden Hazard and Fernando Torres scored second-half goals to seal a fourth straight victory for Chelsea, which climbed above Arsenal and Manchester City in the standings ahead of their games on Monday and Sunday respectively.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Giddy Potts scored seven of his 22 points in the final minutes to give Middle Tennessee a 68-63 victory over North Carolina-Wilmington in the third annual Challenge in Music City on Friday night.It was tied at 59 with 1:51 left when Potts hit a jump shot and followed that with a 3-pointer with 43 seconds remaining. After UNC-Wilmington pulled to 64-63, Potts drove for a layup in the final 15 seconds for a 66-63 lead. Reggie Upshaw, who finished with 12 points, hit two free throws in the final seconds to seal the win. T. J. Logan Womens Jersey.

Baylor University on Tuesday launched a website to provide more details about the sexual assault scandal that led to the firings of university president Kenneth Starr and football coach Art Briles and the resignation of athletics director Ian McCaw this summer. Markelle Fultz Womens Jersey .?In an open letter to Baylor alumni and students that was obtained by ESPN on Tuesday, interim president David E. Garland wrote that he directed the University to be more transparent wherever possible about the sexual assault crisis that has severely impacted our campus, our alumni and the entire Baylor family.Both the Administration and the Board of Regents are taking this step because we came to understand that, in order to heal, the Baylor family needs more information about what happened and why, Garland wrote.In the letter, Garland confirmed what members of the Baylor board of regents told the Wall Street Journal last week: Since 2011, there were a total of 17 reported allegations of sexual assault or domestic violence allegedly committed by 19 football players. In 2012, there were four allegations of alleged gang rapes involving Baylor football players.Garland said the webpage (www.baylor.edu/thetruth) will provide details about what happened at Baylor and the schools efforts to learn from those mistakes and make the right decisions moving forward.Garland wrote that the website will include disclosures of important facts and a clear accounting of past Title IX incidents, including sexual assaults.In the letter, Garland said the school wouldnt release a copy of the full Pepper Hamilton report, which detailed the universitys failures in responding to allegations of sexual assaults by students, including many football players, because attorneys from the Philadelphia law firm never created a written report (it instead was done via PowerPoint) or delivered one to the Baylor board of regents.Garland said that Pepper Hamilton attorneys examined reports of sexual assault and domestic violence and how they were handled by the university, but were not engaged to determine whether the underlying assaults occurred or to create a comprehensive catalogue of all sexual assaults.Since Briles firing in May, some influential Baylor donors and alumni have wondered whether he might have been made the scapegoat for a larger sexual assault problem at the university. Such talk has taken hold in some Baylor corners because of the secrecy around the Pepper Hamilton report, which has never been made public.Baylors former Title IX coordinator, Patty Crawford, resigned last month and has sharply criticized university officials for what she says were efforts to prevent her from trying to handle a sexual assault problem that went beyond the football program.Three Baylor football players have been indicted for sexual assault and crimes against women in the past four years. Former defensive end Shawn Oakman was indicted by a McLennan County grand jury on charges of second-degree felony sexual assault in July. Defensive ends Tevin Elliott and Sam Ukwuachu were convicted of sexual assault in 2014 and 15, respectively.The Journal on Friday quoted Baylor regents who detailed some of the Pepper Hamilton findings for the first time. According to the regents, in at least one case, Briles knew about an alleged incident and didnt alert police, the schools judicial affairs staff or the Title IX office in charge of coordinating the schools response to sexual violence.J. Cary Gray, a Dallas lawyer and a member of the Baylor board, told The Journal: There was a cultural issue there that was putting winning football games above everything else, including our values. ... We did not have a caring community when it came to these women who reported that they were assaulted. And that is not OK.Garland said in the letter on Tuesday that Baylor regents had no choice but to fire Briles after learning the Pepper Hamilton findings.Faced with the weight of the information from Pepper Hamilton, the Regents concluded by an overwhelming majority that Baylor University and its football program needed new leadership, Garland wrote. No other university faced with similar circumstances has moved as decisively to change leadership at the highest levels -- its President, Athletic Director and Head Football Coach.These painful, often agonizing decisions were not based on specific incidents -- but on the extent of the problems, organizational shortcomings and repeated failures to care for those who came forward to report sexual violence. With regard to assistant football coaches and other administrators, we decided it would be unfair to remove those further down in the organization for the mistakes of their leaders.Garland ended the letter by apologizing to the victims and their families.That Baylor did not respond as a caring Christian community to those who were hurt grieves all of us -- regents, administrators, faculty and staff, Garland wrote. On behalf of everyone at Baylor, I want to apologize again to the victims and their families. I will do all I can to ensure this never happens again.

Badenhop was 2-3 with a 3.47 ERA in 63 relief appearances for Milwaukee this season. He is 18-20 in his career with three saves and a 3.(Sports Network) - With their four-game series knotted up at a game apiece, the Baltimore Orioles and the Toronto Blue Jays will face off at the Rogers Centre on Saturday afternoon. The Orioles came away with a 10-6 win on Friday night, taking control of the game early by scoring three runs in each of the first three innings, resulting in an early exit for Toronto rookie Sean Nolin (0-1). Four of Baltimores 16 hits came via the long ball, with J.J. Hardy, Adam Jones, Chris Davis and Danny Valencia all depositing homers. It was Daviss MLB-leading 16th homer and his 45 RBI rank second behind only Miguel Cabrera. Nick Markakis finished 3-for-5 with three RBI out of the leadoff spot, while Manny Machado and Davis also collected three hits. "When we got a ball over the plate, it seemed like we didnt miss it," Markakis said. "Thats the main objective of hitting - when you get your pitch, dont miss it." It wasnt always smooth sailing for Chris Tillman (4-2), as he allowed 10 hits over five innings of work, but he surrendered only three runs while striking out seven to earn the win. For Toronto, Nolin was roughed up in his major-league debut, lasting just 1 1/3 innings while yielding seven hits and six earned runs. He was 2-0 with a 1.17 ERA in three starts at Double-A New Hampshire prior to his call up. "I think I just had too much energy going," Nolin said. "I kind of felt like I already threw a few innings, kind of wasted some gas without doing anything." The Blue Jays also got involved with the sluggfest, as Melky Cabrera, Adam Lind and Brett Lawrie all left the yard as well. Markelle Fultz Blue Jersey. Despite piecing together 17 hits, the squad was plagued by leaving nine runners on base. The Orioles will send journeyman right-hander Freddy Garcia to the hill on Saturday. Garcia has been effective in terms of base runners, boasting an impressive WHIP (1.07) and batting average against (.222), but hes allowed six home runs over 22 1/3 innings this season, ultimately resulting in an 0-2 record with a 4.84 ERA. Garcia was solid in a May 20 no-decision versus the Yankees, allowing three hits, two walks and two earned runs in six innings of work. Over the course of his 15-year career, Garcia has made 19 starts against the Blue Jays, going 8-8 with a 5.85 ERA. Toronto will counter with R.A. Dickey. The reigning National League Cy Young Award winner has gotten off to a modest start with his new team in 2013, sporting a 4-5 record with a 4.50 ERA. Dickey has curbed his struggles of late with back-to-back gems. After striking out 10 over six innings in a May 14 win over San Francisco, the knuckleballer pitched eight strong innings against Tampa Bay on May 20, allowing four hits and two earned runs in the victory. "Ive felt like Ive been stuck in a quagmire for the last week, two weeks," Dickey said. "So its nice to feel like youve got at least one foot out of it. Im not going to say I feel great ... Im hopeful to continue to progress. But Im not all the way there yet." Baltimore took two of three from the Jays earlier in the year.

In one of the biggest World Championship upsets in history, Brazilian champion INTZ E-Sports silenced Chinas champion Edward Gaming in a stunning opening day victory. Leonard Fournette Jaguars Jersey . Edward Gaming entered the tournament as one of the odds-on favorites to win it all while INTZ, who struggled in the Wildcard Regional Qualifiers, was seen as merely a small speed bump on EDGs road to the quarterfinals.We sat down with INTZs star top laner, Felipe Yang Zhao, following the monumental win.We knew we had a [small] chance of winning, but still a little a bit, said Yang. Because of that little bit [of a chance] we had, by the end when [I realized] we really could do it, we started screaming a lot. I had the same feeling as when I won CBLoL.Although INTZ has always been considered one of the best wildcard teams, it has failed to impress on the international stage before tonight. After a grueling series in the Wildcard Regional Qualifiers against Turkeys Dark Passage, it was Yang on his signature Shen who pulled his team across the finish line and into Worlds. Now that hes here, Yang is making sure people will remember his name.Right now, mechanically speaking, Im right up there with everybody else, the great top laners in the world, he said. But I still miss a little bit of the knowledge of the game -- rotations, everything -- so I learned a lot in Europe, we bootcamped in Europe, so I learned a lot and realized that. I think that right now Im still learning a lot, and am not putting myself up there. Im learning, and I think once I have this knowledge, I will be one of the best top laners.The top laner I think I respect the most is Smeb, he admitted, His mechanics, his rotations, he has a good champion pool.While the Brazilian dynamos sit atop of Group C after the first day, Yang knows it isnt going to be easy. He mentioned how there is a bit of light at the end of the tunnel and making it to the quarterfinals as the first wildcard team to do so would be a dream.I just want to thank everyone who is cheering for us, especially those who are still cheering for us even after we [didnt do well], he said to the fanatical fans at home in Brazil. I just want to say thank you very much for everybody, and just keep supporting us. Even if we dont make it, were going to do our best. Dawuane Smoot Youth Jersey .

The Redskins announced Monday that the quarterback who led the team to the Super Bowl championship in the 1987 season will serve as a personnel executive. STANFORD, Calif. -- Dorian Pickens scored 17 points and Stanford beat Colorado State 56-49 on Sunday in a matchup of two teams still trying to figure out how to consistently score.They certainly did a great job playing a very compact defense, but we also made some mistakes, said first-year Stanford coach Jerod Haase, whose team improved to 4-0 but had its lowest point total of the season.We didnt capitalize on certain things. We need to make a few more open shots. The biggest thing is we need to get the ball inside.Pickens made 4 of 6 from 3-point range, but was the only player on either team to shoot with success from the perimeter. Pickens teammates were a combined 1-for-12 and the Rams were 5-for-18.Stanford, which won its third home game in a span of six days, also got 11 points from Reid Travis. But the junior forward, who averaged 21.7 points through the Cardinals first three games, managed just five shot attempts against a collapsing CSU defense.They made it tough for us to get the ball inside, Stanford point guard Robert Cartwright said. Its a great opportunity for us to grow. We havent really been challenged this way. We have to find ways to win and we did that.The Rams (2-1) hadnt been held under 50 points since a 56-43 loss to San Diego State on March 13, 2015.Colorado State coach Larry Eustachy played a young lineup that included as many as three sophomores and a freshman at times.We expect this is going to be a time when were going to learn. Its as good a defensive team as Ive had in a long time for such young kids, Eustachy said. They werent more physical tthan us. Dede Westbrook Jersey. I thought we tried really hard. You just cant overcome 20 turnovers.Prentiss Nixon led Colorado State with 15 points. Braden Koelliker, who averaged 14.5 points in the teams first two games, was scoreless.We were close against a very good Stanford team, Eustachy said. Im not sure our guys believed we could beat them, and I thought we could. Well get it right.BIG PICTUREStanford: The Cardinal is 4-0 under first-year head coach Jerod Haase, although early success is not necessarily indicative of long-terms results. Previous coach Johnny Dawkins started 10-0 in his debut season of 2008-09 (including a win over Colorado State) before the Cardinal lost 90-60 to Arizona State in its Pac-10 opener. Stanford wound up finishing ninth in the conference.Colorado State: The Rams need to shoot the ball better. They converted just 38 percent from the field -- including 6 for 33 from the 3-point arc -- in their first two games. They were worse against a stronger Stanford defense, making just 29.8 percent (14-for-47).UP NEXT:Stanford, having concluded a three-game homestand, treks east to play in the AdvoCare Invitational in Orlando, Florida, where it opens the three-day event against Miami (3-0), which averaged nearly 87 points in three easy victories.Colorado State returns home for a Wednesday night matchup vs. Maryland-Eastern Shore (0-4), which comes off a 116-79 loss at Wichita State and will play its fourth game in five on the road.

As a full moon began to set over the Del Mar stables Thursday morning, a superhero in a horse suit was trying to ignore the golden Labrador nosing around his stall.Nike Air Max Womens Green .Jasper, knock that off or Chromell nail you, chided Alan Sherman, Jaspers owner.It wasnt exactly a scene from Town & Country, but it was business as usual in the Art and Alan Sherman shed row, where the sober routine of preparing the richest Thoroughbred in the history of North American racing for a return to competition is tempered by the grateful joy of being so close to such a remarkable creature for so long.Hes been good here, said Art Sherman, Alans dad, as he headed for the track to train another horse in the barn. Eating good, acting good. Handles the track fine. What could go wrong?At this, Sherman let fly one of his cackling laughs, knowing full well that things go wrong in racing all the time, and only a diligent attention to detail can at least reduce the chances. For all his accomplishments, California Chrome is still an equine athlete whose value, at least for now, is based upon running faster than the horses arrayed against him.To that end, his return Saturday in the $200,000 San Diego Handicap will provide a solid test of his status four months removed from his glorious victory in the $10 million Dubai World Cup. The fact that California Chrome did it with his saddle slipping steadily back to his haunches as the race progressed was only one of the many remarkable stories from that memorable desert night.Ill tell you one thing, Sherman said, were not using that new English chamois we used over there again. I thought it wouldnt make any difference, and, boy, was I wrong.Its the little things that count, but it is a very big thing California Chrome will be facing Saturday when his main opposition in the San Diego comes from Dortmund, the towering winner of the 2015 Santa Anita Derby who is making his first start since winning the Native Diver Handicap at Del Mar eight months ago.I figure hell go to the lead like he does, Sherman said of Dortmund. After that, Im hoping he needs the race.The San Diego Handicap has been around forever, which in the case of Del Mar means since 1937, and for all but eight of its 73 runnings, it has been a 1-1/16-mile main-track event.Native Diver himself won the San Diego three straight years, 1963-65, and ended up in the Hall of Fame. Bates Motel won the San Diego on his way to an Eclipse Award. Skywalker took the race in 1986, then later added the Breeders Cup Classic.More recently, the San Diego has been won by Dubai World Cup winner Well Armed, Breeders Cup Dirt Mile winner Dakota Phone, Godolphin Mile winner Grey Memo, and Kentucky Derby winner Giacomo.So much for history. What counts on Saturday is that California Chrome brings the same vibrant energy to the San Diego that he displayed in his Dubai campaign earlier this year. If the last few mornings at Del Mar are any indication, he should be a handful.Let him go, cried exercise rider Dihigi Gladney to the pony boy as California Chrome went up on his back legs and bounded out of a saddling stall in the Del Mar paddock.The muscles around Shermans heart tightened slightly as he watched Gladney slip free of Chromes gray pony and trot around the ring. The red stallion calmed to a walk and immediately dropped one of his trademark erections, which was enough to let his people know all was well.He doesnt do that back home at Los Alamitos, Sherman said. But here hes got new sights and sounds, a different kind of atmosphere. Gets him a little stirred up.Once on the track for his gallop, California Chrome was all class. He put in a smooth mile and a half and then walked easily to the training gate at the back of the seven-furlong chute.Thats just the way he is, Sherman said. I am a little concerned, though, what he might do running against that mare.That mare, of course, is Beholder, who looms on California Chromes horizon for the $1 million Pacific Classic on Aug. 20. Her trainer, Richard Mandella, was in the paddock with his own horses Thursday morning when California Chrome put on his show. The idea of a robust female horse distracting a virile stallion from the focus it takes to win a million-dollar race is one of those jokes that has plenty of basis in experience.I was thinking about sending Beholder to the gate with him this morning, Mandella deadpanned. But theres not enough money on the line.Once the San Diego in the books and Beholder has dealt with the Clement L. Hirsch Stakes on July 30, the excitement for their Pacific Classic showdown will begin to boil.The respective camps are already getting into the spirit. Owner B. Wayne Hughes, who normally keeps his cards close, let loose with a mischievous Chrome who? line when asked about the pending showdown with Beholder, the apple of his eye. Perry Martin, California Chromes majority owner, countered with a respectful nod to the three-time champion mare but then warned with a wink, When Chrome goes by her, shell go from Beholder to bewildered.Is this going to be a fun summer or what?

Nike Air Max Womens Rose . -- The Missouri Tigers might not have a roster full of superstars. http://www.nikeairmaxwomens.com/ . -- Ryan Blaney provided more evidence that Penske Racings No. OKLAHOMA CITY -- Even without another scoring outburst from Russell Westbrook, the Oklahoma City Thunder easily handled Miami.Westbrook had just 14 points -- 19 below his season average entering the game -- but the Thunder still beat the Heat 97-85 on Monday night.Enes Kanter had 24 points and 10 rebounds, shooting 10 of 12 in 21 minutes off the bench. Victor OIadipo scored 17 and rookie Domantas Sabonis had a season-high 15 points to go with 10 rebounds for Oklahoma City.Westbrook finished with 11 assists, and his control of the action helped the Thunder build a 22-point lead after three quarters. He didnt play in the fourth.Hes always looking for his teammates, Kanter said. Hes looking to score, but he knows that hes going to get double-teamed, triple-teamed. They cannot guard him. Theres no one guy in the league that can guard him 1-on-1. Hes making himself better, and hes making everybody else better on the team.Oklahoma City improved to 6-1, the best seven-game start for the franchise since moving to Oklahoma City in 2008.Miamis Hassan Whiteside, who entered averaging 20 points and 14.2 rebounds, finished with five points on 1-for-9 shooting and 12 rebounds.Westbrook said Thunder center Steven Adams played well against Whiteside.Steven did a good job of buckling down, using his size, using his ability to be able to use his body and his strength to match, Westbrook said.James Johnson led the Heat with 18 points. Miami shot just 36.9 percent from the field.You have to give them credit defensively, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. Theyve shown this year theyre long, theyre athletic, they make multiple efforts.The Thunder led 55-47 at halftime, despite Westbrooks 2-for-10 shooting.The Heat chopped their deficit down to four before Westbrook went off. He converted a three-point play, a mid-range jumper and a 3-pointer to spark a 20-0 run that put the game out of reach.Hes a great player, so hes going to have his fingerprints on the game one way or another, Spoelstra said. Its a matter of time, and you have to find a way as competitors to overcome all of that, and we didnt.---TIP-IINSHeat: Former Thunder player Dion Waiters was cheered loudly during pregame introductions.

Adams banged his right thumb in the first quarter, but returned to play with it wrapped.HEAT UNIFORMSThe Heat wore patches bearing the names of deceased military members on the front of their uniforms for the first time, a tribute that will continue for four more games. The Home Strong uniforms -- which have been worn before, without the soldier-name patches -- feature military insignia and patriotic symbols. Heat President Pat Riley founded the program to honor returning soldiers in 2006, and the franchise has been active with several veterans programs since. Its just a very small part that we can play in this, to let them know that their lives did have significance, Spoelstra said.QUOTABLEWestbrook on Sabonis performance: I was very, very happy for Domas. He stayed aggressive all night long. He missed some shots early, but he stayed consistent.STAT LINESThe Thunder held Miami to 7-for-24 shooting in the third quarter to take an 83-61 lead at the end of the period.UP NEXTHeat: Miami hosts former teammate Dwyane Wade and the Chicago Bulls on Thursday.

NEW ORLEANS -- A country music festival bumped from LSUs Tiger Stadium for two years by offseason renovations will be held next Memorial Day weekend in New Orleans, and the Superdome could become its permanent home, an official said Tuesday.Next years Country Music Superfest will have a new feature: a free outdoor concert Friday night, May 26, said Quint Davis, CEO of Festival Productions Inc.If the two-day indoor festival that follows May 27-28 is a success, he said, it might not return to Baton Rouge in 2019.Everybody involved ... everything is designed and pointed toward a multi-year annual event, Davis said.But, he said, its too early to say where the 2018 festival will be, let alone the one in 2019.Its up to the people. Do they come? Do they embrace it, do they love it? Otherwise, if people dont come, its like the worlds greatest country music sound-check, he said.LSU said in August that it will renovate bathrooms and concession stands and make other stadium improvements after the 2016 and 2017 football seasons, making it impossible for the music festival to use Tiger Stadium.If LSU had been able to host it ... we would have been there. We were talking aboutt another three-year agreement, Davis said. Chris Paul Grey Jersey. .The Superfest has been held at the 102,000-seat stadium in Baton Rouge since it started in 2010. It expanded from two nights to three in 2014.That year, George Strait and Reba McEntire helped draw a record 135,000 fans. Attendance fell to 125,000 in 2015 and 100,000 last year.Davis said falling attendance isnt the reason for the change back.He said the Fridays were added because We had some extraordinary things -- Taylor Swift starting her tour, George Strait making it one of the last concerts on his retirement tour. We had the flexibility to add the Friday. But traditionally from the beginning this was a two-night stadium festival.Davis said the New Orleans Food and Wine Festival has had the 76,500-seat Superdome booked up for the Memorial Day weekend for a decade or more, but is moving to the citys convention center next year.So coincidentally or fate or whatever you call it -- the year we need to go somewhere is the first year that the Dome is open on Memorial Weekend, he said.

The announcement came nearly a year after the now Republican presidential nominee accused Mexican migrants of bringing drugs to the U.S. and being rapists.The only mention of Trump at Wednesdays announcement came when Bernardo Villacecias of Grupo Salinas said that fortunately Trumps comments made it possible for them to bring the tournament to Mexico.In June, PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem said the move was being made because a sponsor could not be found to keep the event in Miami. He conceded that Trumps ownership might have complicated the sponsor search.

In a way, the 2016 season will pick up where 2015 left off: Alabama is No. Adrian Dantley Jersey . 1 and Clemson is 2.The defending national champion Crimson Tide is the No. 1 team in The Associated Press preseason Top 25 for the fifth time overall and third time under coach Nick Saban.The Tide received 33 of 61 first-place votes from the media panel and 1,469 points in the poll released Sunday. No. 2 Clemson, which lost a thrilling College Football Playoff championship game to Alabama in January, received 16 first-place votes and 1,443 points. This is the first time since 1992 that the teams that ended the previous season at Nos. 1 and 2 in the AP poll began the next season in the same spots. Miami and Washington did it that season.Oklahoma is No. 3 in the preseason poll and received four first-place votes. No. 4 Florida State had five first-place votes. No. 5 LSU, No. 6 Ohio State and No. 7 Michigan all received one first-place vote. A year after Ohio State became the first unanimous preseason No. 1 in the history of the AP poll, seven teams received first-place votes, the most in the preseason since 1998.Stanford is No. 8, followed by No. 9 Tennessee and No. 10 Notre Dame.Alabama has won an unprecedented four national championships in the last seven seasons, but none has come when the Tide started No. 1 (2010 and 2013). Thats one of a couple of trends the Tide will be trying to buck this season. The last preseason No. 1 to win the national championship was Southern California in 2004. Alabama is the fourth straight defending champ to start the next season No. 1.Its basically human condition to get satisfied with success, said the 64-year-old Saban, who is 105-18 at Alabama. Theres a lot of books written on how to be successful. Theres not a lot of books written on how to stay successful.The Tide need to replace Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry and defensive All-Americans Reggie Ragland and AShawn Robinson and will be breaking in a new quarterback, but the next wave of four- and five-star recruits is ready to step up. In Calvin Ridley, Alabama has one of the best receivers in the country, and linebacker Reuben Foster and pass rusher Tim Williams will anchor another potentially dominant defense.Clemson returns quarterback Deshaun Watson, a Heisman finalist whose 2016 campaign essentially started with a magnificent performance against Alabama in the championship game, and nine other offensive starters. The Tigers face tough opposition in their own division with Florida State.The Tigers and Seminoles give the Atlantic Coast Conference two top five teams in the preseason poll for the first time in the history of the conference.---POLL POINTSStreaks- This is the eighth straight year the Tide have been ranked in the preseason top five, matching the second-longest streak since the preseason poll started in 1950. Oklahoma had an eight-year run (1974-1981) and Florida State did it 11 straight seasons (1990-2000).- Ohio State is making its 28th straight appearance in the preseason poll. Only Penn State (34) and Nebraska (33) had longer streaks.- Oklahoma is making its 17 straight preseason poll appearance. LSU is at 16 and No. 20 Southern California is at 15 straight.Best since ...- No. 2 Clemson has its best ranking in the preseason poll ever. Previous high was No. 4 (1984 and 1988).- No. 9 Tennessee has its best preseason ranking since 2005 (No. 3).- No. 10 Notre Dame has its best preseason ranking since 2006 (No. 2).- No. 14 Washington has its best preseason ranking since 2002 (No. 9).- No. 15 Houston is ranked in the preseason for the first time since 1991 (No. 12).CONFERENCE CALLTeams in the Top 25 by conference:SEC -- 6Pac-12 -- 5Big Ten -- 4ACC -- 4Big 12 -- 4AAC -- 1Independent -- 1 John Stockton Jersey .

Speaking to the Chicago Tribune at baseballs Winter Meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, Boras called the former home of the Expos a "tremendous environment" for baseball.INDIANAPOLIS -- NBA officials decided Sunday that Dwyane Wades forearm shot to Lance Stephenson was a flagrant foul -- just not enough of a shot to warrant a suspension. The league issued its ruling shortly before the Heat were to face Indiana in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals. Neither Pacers coach Frank Vogel nor Heat coach Erik Spoelstra expected the league to hand down a suspension with a berth in the NBA Finals at stake. Wade explained to reporters before the game that he was not surprised by the decision. "I wasnt worried because it wasnt intentional," he said. "All I was trying to do was get out of the way of him trying to set a screen." Wade then cut off questions, saying he only wanted to talk about Game 3, which is Sunday night at Indiana. He will be in the starting lineup. The play occurred in the fourth quarter of Indianas Game 2 victory when Stephenson was running down the court on a fast-break. Trey Lyles Jazz Jersey. Wade jumped into the air and hit Stephenson in the back of the head with his arm, knocking Stephenson to the floor. No foul was called on the play. Spoelstra didnt complain about the decision. "We take it for what it is, we cant control what the league decides," he said. "We just have to move on." Before Wade spoke, LeBron James explained he believes the league needs to protect players from taking head shots -- just like the NFL and NHL do. But he backed his teammate.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Shaka Smart will start his second season as Texas coach a bit short-handed. Slava Voynov Kings Jersey .Mareik Isom, a senior forward expected to be an important reserve, will miss a few weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery for a bacterial infection in his left ankle, Smart said Monday.Sophomore guards Kerwin Roach Jr. and Tevin Mack, both competing for starting positions, will also miss Wednesdays exhibition against Angelo State for violating unspecified team rules.It was a matter than occurred months ago, but obviously we havent played games, Smart said. Its important for us to provide accountability for our guys.The 21st-ranked Longhorns open the regular season on Nov. 11 against Incarnate Word. Smart would not say if Roach and Mack will play in that game, only that they will be back soon.Isom is one of four Longhorns who play center or power forward. He averaged 6 points and 2.7 rebounds per game last season at Arkansas-Little Rock before transferring to Texas. The likely starting big men are 6-8 senior Shaq Cleare and 6-11 freshman Jarrett Allen.Roach averaged 7.5 points last season as a reserve. He might be the starting point guard this season, but freshman Andrew Jones is also in the mix. Both are combo guards who have not played the point exclusively, Smart said. Mack averaged 5.1 points as a wing or power forward when Smart used smaller lineups.Texas finished 20-13 last season, losing to Northern Iowa on a buzzer-beating, half-court shot in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

John Lucas, signed as a mentor for rookie Trey Burke, showed he can score if required, scoring 12 points of his 16 points in the second quarter as Utah built an 18-point lead. GLENDALE, Ariz. -- No risk it, no biscuit was back for the Arizona Cardinals.So was the big play.The result was a much-needed 31-23 victory over the Washington Redskins on Sunday.Carson Palmer threw for 300 yards and three touchdowns and David Johnson scored twice on another dynamic afternoon for the second-year running back.I think hes the best player in the NFL, Palmer said. Point blank.The loss by the Redskins (6-5-1) clinched a playoff spot for the NFC East-leading Dallas Cowboys (11-1).Palmers 25-yard touchdown pass to Johnson with 11:09 to play put Arizona ahead 24-20, the fourth lead change of the second half.The big gamble came when, leading 24-20, Arizona went for it on fourth-and-1 at its 34-yard line.I was shocked, Palmer said. I was ready to jog off the field.But Johnson ripped off a 14-yard run and, moments later, when most teams would just try to run out the clock, Palmer threw a 42-yard touchdown pass to J.J. Nelson that gave the Cardinals (5-6-1) a 31-23 lead with 1:56 to play.Ive had a few drops, Nelson said. And with that opportunity to ice the game and get in the end zone, I thought `I cant miss this opportunity.Such long passes have been few and far between for an Arizona team that routinely pulled them off in its 13-3 season a year ago.We finally found a big play at the end that we needed desperately, Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said, because I didnt want to play for a three-point game. We wanted to play for that eight-point win. And sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, but if you dont try, you dont ever win.Washington drove to the Arizona 28-yard line before Patrick Petersons interception of Kirk Cousins pass with 41 seconds left sealed the victory.Johnson, who also scored on a 1-yard run, became the second player in NFL history to top 100 yards from scrimmage in the first 12 games of a season. Edgerrin James was the other.Ive been very fortunate to be around two pretty good backs, Arians said. Actually three, but Marshall Faulk and Edgerrin James arent too shabby when they were young, and he reminds me a lot of those two guys.Johnson carried the ball 18 times for 84 yards and caught nine passes for another 91.Cousins completed 21 of 37 passes for 271 yards and a touchdown. His 59-yard pass to DeSean Jackson on the first series of the second halff set up his 1-yard touchdown sneak. Marian Gaborik Kings Jersey. In the third quarter, Cousins was stripped of the ball by Calais Campbell, and Markus Golden returned the fumble 20 yards to set up Palmers 6-yard touchdown pass to Michael Floyd.I dont know if it is my job to really put a grade on my performance, Cousins said. It is up and down. Each play has its own reason on why things happen. It is hard to give a blanket statement to summarize it.That gave Arizona a 17-13 lead. The Redskins came right back. Cousins threw to a wide-open Jamison Crowder on a 26-yard touchdown to put Washington back on top, 20-17, with 1:06 left in the third quarter.The Cardinals avoided what would have been the teams first three-game losing streak since Arians came to the desert four seasons ago.We came out flat to start the game, Washington defensive end Chris Baker said. They go down and have a 15-play drive and then we get the ball back on offense and have two false starts. Against a good team like Arizona, you cant come out flat like that.Palmer, in one of his best games of the season, completed 30 of 46 for 300 yards despite constant pressure behind a patchwork offensive line .Josh Norman saved one touchdown by breaking up a pass intended for Floyd.FITZGERALDS CLIMBLarry Fitzgerald caught 10 passes for 78 yards, moving past Cris Carter and Marvin Harrison into third on the NFLs career receptions list.Its great, Fitzgerald said. The most thing Im happy about is it came in a winning effort. ... Its always nice to climb up a little bit higher, but its humbling to know that Im still 400 catches behind Jerry Rice.He also became the youngest player in NFL history to top 1,100 catches.INJURIESRedskins center Spencer Long left the game early to be evaluated for a concussion and did not return.Washington was without standout tight end Jordan Reed and Arizona didnt have do-everything defensive back Tyrann Mathieu. Both have shoulder injuries.UP NEXTRedskins: Washington returns to NFC East play with a game at Philadelphia next Sunday.Cardinals: Arizona travels across the country to face Miami on Sunday.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
