McDavid was also the captain in Erie, where he played junior hockey before joining the NHL.Now, hes the 15th captain in Oilers history. Jordan Eberle, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and new addition Milan Lucic were named alternate captains.That [North America role] was even more of a difficult job than this, McDavid said Wednesday. Youre trying to get to know the guys all at the same time, while here in Edmonton everyones so close.I definitely feel more comfortable in this dressing room than that one.Oilers coach Todd McLellan said the phenom is ready to handle the pressures that go along with the title of captain.Hes mature beyond his years, so hes dealt with all of you since he was 14, McLellan said Wednesday. He handles himself very well and takes care of his teammates in front of and with the media, which we think is very important in a Canadian franchise.?McLellan said he sees similarities between McDavid and Crosby.Hes an ambassador of the game, McLellan said of McDavid.

This is what happened from my point of view.Ekakitie said he did not initially respond to police orders to stop because he was approached from behind and was wearing headphones.In this situation, what the media would fail to let people know is that the suspect had his headphones in the entire time the Police Officers approached him initially, Ekakitie wrote.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- With one shoe on and one shoe off, Etenesh Diro raised a big cheer at the Olympics on Saturday with a gutsy finish in her 3,000-meter steeplechase heat. Tiger Williams Jersey .Initially outside the qualifying places, the Ethiopian was rewarded -- after a protest by three teams, including her own -- with a place in Mondays final.Diro was cruising along comfortably in the pack with a couple of laps to go when she got tangled up with some other competitors and her right shoe came half-off. For precious seconds, the Ethiopian athlete kneeled on the track and tried to pull the shoe back on.It just wouldnt go, and runner after runner passed her. Finally giving up on it, Diro ripped the shoe off completely, threw it away, took a few steps and then removed her right sock too.Diro ran the rest of the grueling race, about three laps, with just one shoe on and her right foot bare, negotiating the barriers and the water jump and overtaking a number of rivals as the crowd urged her on.She finished seventh and fell to the track, exhausted and clutching her foot. She thought she had missed out.But after protests by the Ethiopia, Ireland and Jamaica teams, Diro, Irelands Sara Treacy and Jamaicas Aisha Praught were advanced to the final.Emma Coburn, the United States best hope for a medal in the event, finished with the third-best time in the prelims and was among the runners advancing to Monday.Diro was clipped from behind, but her shoe issue also caused a pileup of runners behind her, with Praught taking a tumble because of it.I went down pretty hard. You brace because you dont expect that, Praught said. All I know is the girl in front of me stopped to put on her shoe. She stopped right in front of me. Thats when I fell. ... You dont expect that.Praught said brake lights on the runners ahead of her would have been helpful.As for her own shoes, Praught said: I tie them very tightly.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

GRAPEVINE, Texas -- The smallest Power Five conference is not getting any larger. Max Unger Jersey . The Big 12 is staying at 10 schools.After three months of analyzing, vetting and interviewing possible new members, Big 12 leaders on Monday took expansion off their agenda.This was not a decision to not expand, Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said. This was an endorsement and reinvestment in the 10 that we had.Oklahoma President David Boren said the decision was unanimous and no specific schools were discussed or voted on during five hours or so of expansion talk while Big 12 presidents and chancellors met Sunday night and Monday.Boren, the chairman of the Big 12 board of directors and the only president who has been in the league since its inception in 1996, insisted he has never seen such a unified sense of purpose on the board.Texas President Greg Fenves said 10 is the right number for the league.It promotes a competitive balance and allows for a round-robin schedule in the different sports, which is best for our student-athletes, Fenves said. This is the right way to ensure a strong conference moving forward.Conference officials held interviews in September with Air Force and Colorado State from the Mountain West; Central Florida, Cincinnati, Connecticut, Houston, South Florida, SMU and Tulane from the American Athletic Conference; Rice from Conference USA; and BYU, which is a football independent with its other sports in the West Coast Conference.Moving into a Power Five conference for those schools would mean tens of millions of dollars more revenue per year, along with greater exposure and prestige.Houston athletic director Hunter Yurachek said the Big 12s decision is not just about the University of Houston and the Big 12 Conference, its about the evolving landscape of collegiate athletics. It does not, and will not, deter our mission of building champions for life.UConn President Susan Herbst said going through the process was a positive experience and it gave her a better understanding of where UConn stands and what it has to offer.Most of the schools they were talking to were in our conference, she said. I think that shows, without question, that our conference plays at their level and are athletically and academically appropriate to be a Power Five.Boren once called the Big 12 psychologically disadvantaged as the smallest Power Five league and the only one without a football championship game.The circumstances have radically changed, Boren explained Monday when asked about the comment he first made in June 2015.Boren said his interest in expansion was tied to his desire for the Big 12 to start a television network like the ones the Big Ten, Southeastern Conference and Pac-12 have and the one the Atlantic Coast Conference is on target to start with ESPN in 2019. Once it was determined that the market was not there for a network, his interest in expansion cooled.And the Big 12 announced earlier this year it was bringing back its football championship game in 2017, no matter its composition.Knowing now there will be 10 teams, Big 12 athletic directors can move forward with the process of determining if the league will split into divisions and how to determine which teams will play in the championship game.Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione, part of a subcommittee addressing those issues, said that decision could be made by November. As for the site of the title game, he said the league got bids from four potential hosts.While never committing to expansion, the Big 12 has been tossing around the idea for almost two years as it tries to find ways to increase revenue and improve the conferences chances to make the College Football Playoff. The Big 12 was left out of the first playoff in 2014, but conference champion Oklahoma made it last season.Boren and Bowlsby both said that expansion could be re-addressed in the future, but said it no longer is an active agenda item.In June, the conference announced record payouts to members of $30 million each, and expansion talk seemed to fade.A month later, at their last board meeting, school presidents were briefed by consultants who explained how the conference could bolster its playoff chances by adding schools and boost revenue.Two new members would have meant an extra $50 million in TV revenue per year for the Big 12 on contracts with ESPN and Fox that run through 2025.The networks have not been keen on the idea of paying the Big 12 to add schools. When asked if the league would be getting more money from ESPN and FOX for not expanding, Bowlsby wouldnt get into specifics about negotiations.We have a new piece of inventory with our championship game, so were in the process of discussions with both FOX and ESPN on that, Bowlsby said. There are components of the contract that we also talk about in the context of those changes, and were going to continue to talk about those.---AP College Football Writer Ralph D.

John Scott, who had a rule named after him because of last seasons All-Star Game voting controversy, is retiring after 10 seasons in the league, saying he appreciated every second of it.The enforcer became the focus of a fan voting movement in last seasons All-Star Game despite not ever racking up star stats. When it looked like hed make the team, it appeared that the league didnt want him to play, and he was suddenly traded from the Arizona Coyotes to the Montreal Canadiens and then demoted to the AHL. After fan backlash, however, the NHL backed off.Not only did Scott serve as captain of the Pacific team, he also earned MVP. The league subsequently passed the John Scott Rule that doesnt allow injured or demoted players to make the game. Scott doesnt mind that the rule will be his NHL legacy.Thats right, hockey fans. Thanks to me, you will never have another John Scott in the All-Star Game again. I gotta say, I wouldnt have it any other way, he wrote on The Players Tribune. It has been a hell of a ride. But Im done. I am officially retired, as of today.I scored five goals. I had four kids. And I had one hell of a good time over the years.Scott, 34, called the All-Star Game appearance simply amazing, but he came back to reality in St. Johns, Newfoundland, after the weekend. His wife had just given birth to twins and was taking care of their four kids while he rode buses with young players. Wholesale Saints Jerseys Online. One night, I was sitting all alone in a dark hotel room and my wife was too exhausted to put the girls on FaceTime, and I just couldnt deal with it anymore, Scott wrote.Thats when I knew.The 6-foot-8 Scott played for the Minnesota Wild, Chicago Blackhawks, New York Rangers, Buffalo Sabres, San Jose Sharks, Coyotes and Canadiens and knew that he was on the roster for basically one reason: protect the star players by dropping the gloves. He even thinks its a useful role in the league.Can I just make a final confession, though? he wrote. I dont care what people remember about me as a hockey player, but please remember this one thing: I didnt love to fight.He wrote that the anticipation of the fight drives you crazy. Its not very easy on your psyche, especially once you have a family.But he has no regrets and is currently working on his second career as a stay-at-home dad.?On Tuesdays, I take my oldest girls to dance class, Scott wrote. Im usually the only dad in attendance. Its probably quite a sight for the moms. This big, hairy 6-foot-8 guy standing around the dance studio, waving to his little princesses every five seconds.

Rio -- Indias fourth-seeded pair of Sania Mirza and Rohan Bopanna took their first step towards an elusive Olympic medal with a 7-5, 6-4 win inside one hour and 13 minutes against the Australian duo of Samantha Stosur and John Peers. Kemoko Turay Jersey .A big Indian contingent waited patiently for the mens doubles semi-final featuring Rafael Nadal to finish on court three before making their way into the premises. It was a small court but every seat was taken in the media enclosure. Among those watching was Leander Paes, who has won four mixed doubles slams over the last couple of years.Peers began the match serving strong and held his first two serves comfortably. With the balls not bouncing as much as the evening grew chillier, the Indians too held their serves quite easily. Stosur, the shortest player on court was a muscular presence, whipping groundstrokes and firing big serves in; she did not drop a point in her first two games.?The men were serving into a strong wind and the first eight games went unbroken. It was in the ninth game that the Indians made an incision, with Peers losing his serve. However, just like in the mens doubles match, Bopanna lost his serve while serving for the set on a backhand volley error by Sania.India, though, stayed focused and put Stosur under pressure right back. A third straight break gave them another opportunity to take the lead, and it was duly completed on Sanias serve.The second set began much like the first, with both teams holding serve. Bopanna faced a challenge, but Australia started to make more errors. At 2-2, Peers serve came under assault with Sania ripping a backhand that Stosur could not volley back. A double fault by Peers gave India the all-important break as yelps of Bahut acche (Very good) started to be heard from the Indians in the crowd.Sania was moving sharply now and creamed an overhead in the next game as Bopanna held serve again. The finish line was nearing, but India were not there yet.Peers avoided another break, but Bopanna was serving full strength now and finished the match off with three aces in his final game -- fittingly the last of them was on match point against Peers. It lasted just over 70 minutes and gave an Indian contingent thirsting for some success reason to cheer.The conditions are tough, especially because it is very windy. We are used to the heat but this is harder, Sania said after the match.?It is easier for the guys because they have the power. Windy is tough to play, especially when guys serve to you in the mixed it is very tough to connect on your returns. I return well normally but when its windy it takes away a big strength of mine. I was happy that I was able to connect at the crucial points and thats why we came out on top.Bopanna and Sania will next face Great Britains Andy Murray and Heather Watson in the quarterfinals.?In 2012, the Indian pair of Sania and Leander Paes had also made the quarterfinals, before going down to eventual champions Victoria Azarenka and Max Mirnyi of Belarus.I have been saying this from the very beginning how tough it is going to be to win every match here, Sania said. We play multiple grand slam winners in every match, no matter who we play either the girl or the guy has won slams.Heather is a great player, she has won a slam very recently at Wimbledon. Shes confident and we all know what a champion Andy is. We feel good to have won our first round but we obviously feel we can play better. Hopefully that will happen. Tarell Basham Jersey .

Spieth only just made the cut after three rounds at Pebble Beach The 22-year-old tees off for the opening two rounds alongside long-time friend Justin Thomas and former Masters champion Fred Couples, with Spieth remaining confident of having another big season.I think that we have the right balance and the right team, Spieth told a press conference on Tuesday. I think last year kind of proved that we could do it throughout a season and stay in contention in the biggest events, so I have full confidence in that. Sure, youre going to get good breaks and youre going to get bad breaks. For me, the more you look at it as hopefully Im out here for 30 more years, youre going to see a lot of both. Matthias Farley Jersey. I think its all gotten a bit more consistent.  When the pressure comes on, I can now really relate and look back to a lot of key moments where Ive hit shots in the past when the pressure has been on. The world No 1 struggled with his putter in Abu Dhabi and Singapore This weeks par-71 course overlooking the iconic Hollywood sign is a popular destination for Spieth, who is making his fourth appearance in five years at the West Coast Swing finale.Ive probably played this course close to 30 times now, which is a lot compared to other tournaments, Spieth added. Its one of my favourites in the entire world.I love being here. Its one of the very few (courses) with the history that it has ... not only just the champions but all those who have walked these fairways.For me to win on a golf course that I consider one of the top few in the world, I mean, thats always a goal.

MIAMI -- Matt Kemps September slugging wont get the Atlanta Braves into the postseason. Custom Pittsburgh Pirates Jerseys . Its a nice sign heading into 2017, though.Kemp hit two home runs to power the Braves to a 6-3 win over the Miami Marlins on Thursday night.Hes a really good player, Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said. Hes a big, strong man and when he swings that bat it goes.Kemp is hitting .400 (22 of 55) in his last 14 games and has 33 home runs and 104 RBI on the season, his highest totals since the 2011 season when he was NL MVP runner-up with 39 homers and 126 RBI.Its been good, Kemp said. Honestly I wish we could be in the playoffs right now and in a playoff race. It would be way more fun doing those type of things and being in a race, but for us to finish strong and show everybody what the offense and what this team is capable of going into the final weeks of the season is very important for next year.Freddie Freeman singled in the third inning to extend his hitting streak to 26 games and drove in two runs for the Braves, who have won six straight for the third time this season.The whole roster is helping the pretty good week that weve had, Snitker said. Just playing with a lot of enthusiasm and energy. Were down to nine games left in the season and theyre getting after it. Theyre playing like were trying to grab a wild card.Atlantas Josh Collmenter (3-0) pitched seven innings and allowed two runs.Im not going to blow it by a lot of guys, Collmenter said. Im not going to strike them out. Its using my defense to my advantage and keep them off-balanced and uncomfortable in the batters box as much as I possibly can.Mauricio Cabrera pitched the ninth for his fifth save in six chances.Ender Inciarte, Wednesdays hero with the game-saving catch at the New York Mets, went 2 for 4 with a triple and scored twice.J.T. Realmuto homered for the Marlins, who cut the deficit to 6-3 on an RBI double by Martin Prado in the eighth. Justin Bour flew out with two on to end the threat.Kemps multihomer game was the 10th of his career and third this season.Kemps second homer was a solo shot to left field in the sixth. It was caught on a bounce by Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow , who also threw out the ceremonial first pitch.Who comes to his first baseball game in Miami and catches a baseball? Kemp said. Thats pretty cool.Freemans streak is the longest of his career and the longest active streak in the majors. It is the fifth-longest for the Braves since moving to Atlanta in 1966. Freeman has also reached base in 42 consecutive games.Freemans two-run triple and Kemps two-run homer broke the game open in the third, giving the Braves a 5-0 lead.You get down early its tough on your club, Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. To be down five after a couple innings puts you in a bind.Marlins starter Jose Urena (4-8) allowed five runs and four hits in three innings.Ive been leaving the ball a little high when Ive been down in the count, Urena said.INCIARTES CATCHInciartes impressive catch in Wednesdays 4-3 win at the New York Mets is the highlight of his potential Gold Glove-winning season.If that dont win him a Gold Glove, I dont know what will, Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said. Ive been saying it all along, hes unbelievable.In addition to his impressive defensive plays in center field, Inciarte is also one of the hottest hitters in baseball since the All-Star break with a major league-leading 94 hits.Hes kind of burst onto the scene here and everybody is aware of him now and rightfully so, Snitker said. Hes as good as it gets.NEXT UPBraves: RHP Matt Wisler (7-12, 4.93 ERA) will start Fridays game at Miami. Wisler has allowed two runs or fewer in three of his last four starts including an eight-inning, one-run performance at Arizona on Aug. 25.Marlins: RHP Andrew Cashner (5-11, 5.27) will be looking to toss at least six innings for just the second time in his last nine starts.

LA UNION, Colombia -- Colombian authorities searched for answers Tuesday into the crash of a chartered airliner that slammed into the Andes mountains while transporting a Brazilian soccer team whose Cinderella story had won it a spot in the finals of one of South Americas most prestigious regional tournaments. All but six of the 77 people on board were killed.The British Aerospace 146 short-haul plane declared an emergency and lost radar contact just before 10 p.m. Monday (0300 GMT Tuesday), according to Colombias aviation agency. It said the planes black boxes had been recovered and were being analyzed.The aircraft, which departed from Santa Cruz, Bolivia, was carrying the Chapecoense soccer team from southern Brazil for Wednesdays first leg of the two-game Copa Sudamericana final against Atletico Nacional of Medellin. Twenty-one Brazilian journalists were also on board the flight.Colombian officials initially said the plane suffered an electrical failure but there was also heavy rainfall at the time of the crash. Authorities also said they were not ruling out the possibility, relayed to rescuers by a surviving flight attendant, that the plane ran out of fuel minutes before its scheduled landing at Jose Maria Cordova airport outside Medellin.Whatever the cause, the emotional pain of Colombias deadliest air tragedy in two decades was felt across the soccer world.Expressions of grief poured in as South Americas federation canceled all scheduled matches in a show of solidarity, Real Madrids squad interrupted its training for a minute of silence and Argentine legend Diego Maradona sent his condolences to the victims families over Facebook.Brazils top teams offered to loan the small club players next season so they can rebuild following the sudden end to a fairy tale season that saw Chapecoense reach the tournament final just two years after making it into the first division for the first time since the 1970s. It is the minimum gesture of solidarity that is within our reach, the teams said in a statement.Sportsmanship also prevailed, with Atletico Nacional asking that the championship title be given to its rival, whose upstart run had electrified soccer-crazed Brazil.Rescuers working through the night were initially heartened after pulling three people alive from the wreckage. But as the hours passed, heavy fog and stormy weather grounded helicopters and slowed efforts to reach the crash site.At daybreak, dozens of bodies scattered across a muddy mountainside were collected into white bags. They were then loaded onto several Black Hawk helicopters that had to perform a tricky maneuver to land on the crest of the Andes mountains. The planes fuselage appeared to have broken into two, with the nose facing downward into a steep valley.Officials initially reported 81 people were on board the flight, but later revised that to 77, saying four people on the flight manifest did not get on the plane.Images broadcast on local television showed three of the six survivors on stretchers and connected to IVs arriving at a hospital in ambulances. Chapecoense defender Alan Ruschel was in the most serious condition, and was later transported to another facility to undergo surgery for a spinal fracture. Teammates Helio Zampier and Jakson Follmann also suffered multiple trauma injuries, with doctors having to amputate the goalkeeper Follmanns right leg.A journalist traveling with the team was recovering from surgery and two Bolivian crew members were in stable condition, hospital officials said.The aircraft is owned by LaMia, a charter company that started off in Venezuela but later relocated to Bolivia, where it was certified to operate last January. Despite such apparently limited experience the airline has a close relationship with several premier South American squads.Earlier this moonth, the plane involved in Mondays crash transported Barcelona forward Lionel Messi and the Argentina national team from Brazil following a World Cup qualifier match. Sean Rodriguez Jersey. . The airliner also appears to have transported the national squads of Brazil, Bolivia and Venezuela over the last three months, according to a log of recent activity provided by Flightradar24.com.Before being taken offline, LaMias website said it operated three 146 Avro short-haul jets made by British Aerospace, with a maximum range of around 2,965 kilometers (1,600 nautical miles) -- about the same as the distance between Santa Cruz and Medellin..Hans Weber, a longtime adviser to U.S. aviation authorities, said the aircrafts range deserves careful investigation. He noted that the air distance between cities is usually measured by the shortest route but planes rarely fly in a straight line -- pilots may steer around turbulence or change course for other reasons.Given the model of the plane and that it was flying close to capacity, I would be concerned that the pilots may have been cutting it too close, Weber said.Bolivias civil aviation agency said the aircraft picked up the Brazilian team in Santa Cruz, where the players had arrived on a commercial flight from Sao Paulo. Spokesman Cesar Torrico said the plane underwent an inspection before departing for Colombia and reported no problems.We cant rule out anything. The investigation is ongoing and were going to await the results, said Gustavo Vargas, a retired Bolivian air force general who is president of the airline.Colombian authorities said they hope to interview the Bolivian flight attendant who relayed the fuel concerns on Wednesday.Moments before the flight departed, the teams coaching staff gave an interview to a Bolivian television station in which they praised the airline, saying it brought them good fortune when it flew them to Colombia last month for the championships quarterfinals, which they won.Now were going to do this new trip and we hope they bring us good luck like they did the first time, athletic director Mauro Stumpf told the Gigavision TV network.The team, from the small Brazilian agro-industrial city of Chapeco, was in the midst of a breakout season. It advanced last week to the Copa Sudamericana finals after defeating some of the regions top teams, including Argentinas San Lorenzo and Independiente, as well as Colombias Junior.The team is so modest that tournament organizers ruled that its 22,000-seat arena was too small to host the final match, which was moved to a stadium 300 miles (480 kilometers) to the north, in the city of Curitiba.The team won over fans across Brazil with its spectacular run to the finals, with some even taking up a campaign online to move the final match to Rio de Janeiros iconic Maracana stadium, where the 2014 World Cup finals were played.The tragedy of so many young and talented players lives and dreams cut short brought an outpouring of support far beyond Brazils borders. Atletico Nacional said in a statement it was offering its title to the team, saying the accident leaves an indelible mark on the history of Latin American and world soccer.Closer to home, fans mourned the terrible loss.This morning I said goodbye to them and they told me they were going after the dream, turning that dream into reality, Chapecoense board member Plinio De Nes told Brazils TV Globo. The dream was over early this morning.---Goodman reported from Bogota.
