Englands batting versus spinR Ashwin tweeted his congratulations after Bangladesh secured their historic Test win over England last month - but the details of Englands collapse on the third evening in Dhaka, when they lost 10 wickets in a session, surely excited him even more. Yellow Air Jordan 12 Retro . The teenaged Mehedi Hasan, an orthodox offspinner, picked up his third six-for in four innings to be named Man of the Series and left England in no doubt about the size of the challenge facing them on the subcontinent. Ashwin recently claimed 27 wickets at 17.77 in three Tests against New Zealand, while Ravindra Jadeja is a metronomic menace on helpful surfaces, and they are primed to pick apart English techniques against spin; among the top seven, only Alastair Cook (who averages 61.85 in India) has significant experience of the conditions. Englands batsmen face not so much a learning curve as a cliff if they are to avoid getting turned over.The leading lights: Kohli and RootIndias captain, Virat Kohli, sets the tone in the field and with bat in hand, while England will seek inspiration from Joe Root, the highest-ranked batsman on either side. For both, this could be a defining series. Kohli has banked more than his share of failures against England, averaging 20.12 in 17 Test innings, but has a vastly improved record since taking over from MS Dhoni, which includes two double-hundreds in the last four months. Root, meanwhile, has established himself among the best in his generation since making 73 on debut in Nagpur four years ago - but is still awaiting a first Test hundred in Asia. Sam Billings, one of the few Englishmen to play in the IPL, says Kohli and Root share a work ethic that sets them apart. Theyre both seriously, seriously good, he said. Id go as far as to say theyre freaks, but with a kind of un-freakish nature. May the best freak win.India versus Moeen Ali: Round TwoDuring the summer of 2014, England faced a dilemma about how to replace Graeme Swann. Moeen Ali was picked and, despite an underwhelming debut series against Sri Lanka, he suckered India spectacularly on the way to 19 wickets at 23.00 as England came from behind for a 3-1 series win. A couple of years on and England still have plenty of problems in the spin department but Moeen is sure to have a key role (not least because of his batting). He admitted in Bangladesh that he is still nowhere near where I want to be as a spinner and has struggled with the demands of leading an inexperienced spin attack: wicket-taking deliveries will doubtless materialise but control remains an issue. Bangladesh and, in particular, Pakistan have found success in attacking Moeen but that was Indias downfall in their last meeting. If Moeen maintains his mozz, things could get interesting.The role of the rookiesIndia have three uncapped players in their 15-man squad, while England head into the first Test having fielded a debutant in their previous two matches. Indias young guns, Hardik Pandya and Karun Nair, may be in a shootout for one place but the absence of Rohit Sharma means an inexperienced pivot at No. 6 (unless they go for a five-man attack); there is also the possibility of KL Rahul returning from injury to win his 10th Test cap, should Gautam Gambhirs latest comeback not go to plan. For the tourists, there is a decision to make on whether to stick Ben Duckett and his reverse-sweep stylings at the top of the order - after one fifty in four innings in Bangladesh - or bring in another new face in Haseeb Hameed. England may also stick with Zafar Ansari, on the grounds that he will turn the ball away from Indias right-handers. By Christmas, some of those names might ring a few more bells.Batsman-wicketkeeper versus wicketkeeper-batsman Jonny Bairstow is two-thirds of the way through a record-breaking year as Englands Test wicketkeeper. In Bangladesh, he first passed Andy Flowers mark for the most runs by a wicketkeeper in a calendar year (and could still eclipse Michael Vaughans overall England record); then he moved ahead of Matt Prior with the most calendar year dismissals for England. And yet… as soon as Bairstow drops a chance, as he did in the Chittagong Test, the murmurs about whether he merits the gloves will return. Five matches in six weeks in India will stretch him in every way imaginable and the scrutiny will be sharpened by the contrast with the oppositions man. Wriddhiman Saha is something of a throwback, a wicketkeeper first and batsman second (although he can certainly hold his own), tidying up assiduously behind the stumps. He was only required to take two catches in three Tests against New Zealand but, after almost two years in the job, he has achieved the wicketkeepers grail: not being talked about.

PHILADELPHIA -- On Nov. Justin Hardy Jersey . 21, 1976, audiences met Rocky Balboa, the southpaw boxer from south Philadelphia. Four decades later, Sylvester Stallones lovable character resonates with fans drawn to his underdog tale of determination, grit and sleepy-eyed charm.The reach of Rocky is international, and the film serves as a slice of Americana. It is shorthand for Philadelphia as much as the Liberty Bell or Benjamin Franklin.Anytime we are speaking to overseas visitors ... the conversation always turns, at some point, to `Rocky, said Julie Coker Graham, president of the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau. They ask, `Have you met Rocky? A lot of them think its an actual, real-life person.On the films 40th anniversary, a few reasons for its enduring legacy:---LOVABLE UNDERDOGWritten by Stallone in three days, fans fell hard for the ballad of Rocky Balboa. For the uninitiated (SPOILER ALERT): The small-time boxer from the heavily Italian neighborhood of South Philly stumbles into a bout with the heavyweight champion of the world, Apollo Creed, fighting in the city to celebrate Americas bicentennial. To get him into fighting shape, Rocky (played by Stallone) is trained by the peppery Mickey Goldmill (Burgess Meredith), whose many one-liners make him a frequent scene stealer. Rocky also finds love in the film with sheepish neighborhood pet store clerk, Adrian (Talia Shire). Though he ultimately loses the fight, Rocky proves himself and wins Adrians heart, making him the winner of much more than a title.The film itself was a long shot, made on a budget of only $1 million and shot in 28 days, with a largely unknown cast, including Stallone himself. And it was shot in working-class Philadelphia, a city that -- despite its roots as the crucible of freedom -- had long had a chip on its shoulder as second-tier as compared to more cultured East Coast metropolises like New York and Boston. (It is worth noting that the film had its premiere in New York.)---CHEERS FOR ROCKYWhat the movie lacked in beauty, it made up for in heart, something that resonated with audiences worldwide. The film was the highest-grossing of the year, earning $117 million at the North American box office and another $107 million overseas. Rocky received 10 Oscar nominations in nine categories at the Academy Awards, winning three: best picture, best director (John G. Avildsen) and best film editing. Stallone, Burgess and Shire were all nominated in acting categories, and Stallone was nominated for his screenplay.Rocky is preserved in the Library of Congress National Film Registry as being culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant. It was also ranked one of the greatest sports films ever made and is the second-best film about boxing behind Raging Bull, according to the American Film Institute.---GONNA FLY NOWThe score for Rocky, which was also nominated for an Oscar, was penned by Bill Conti. The main song, Gonna Fly Now, was originally intended as filler for the training sequence marking Rockys journey from amateur to contender. The opening fanfare is among the most recognizable in American culture, and the soaring melody that plays on the melancholic theme woven throughout the movie is the backdrop to Rocky doing impressive one-armed pushups, punching meat in his girlfriends brothers butcher shop and running through Philadelphias Italian Market, along the Schuylkill River and past the shipyards.Conti went on to win an Oscar for his score to 1983s The Right Stuff and made music recognizable to millions in theme songs to Dynasty and Falcon Crest.---THE ROCKY STEPS AND STATUEThe montage climaxes in one of the films most memorable scenes, as Rocky bounds up the 72 steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, raising his arms in triumph. Four decades later, the run and pose atop the steps are re-created daily in Philadelphia, mostly by tourists. In 1982, a statue of Rocky commissioned by Stallone for Rocky III was placed in the spot where he stood in the original film. Its current home is just to the right of the steps and is a selfie stop for visitors.---ROCKYS NEXT CHAPTERThe original movie was followed by six sequels. In 2015, Rocky was reborn in Creed, the story of Adonis Creed, the son of his nemesis-turned-best friend, Apollo. An aging and dying Rocky trains Adonis for a brawl not unlike the grizzled boxers first fight nearly two generations earlier. The New York Times reviewed it as a dandy piece of entertainment, soothingly old-fashioned and bracingly up-to-date. Deion Jones Jersey . -- James Young couldnt wait to apply those tweaks to his jump shot, and the first one he made against UT Arlington told him it could be a good night. Blidi Wreh-Wilson Jersey . Bryzgalov stopped 25 shots on Saturday in the Oklahoma City Barons 4-1 victory over the Abbotsford Heat. The Oilers signed Bryzgalov to a one-year $2 million contract last Friday after shedding payroll by dealing defenceman Ladislav Smid to the Flames. http://www.falconsauthenticofficialonline.com/authentic-brooks-reed-jersey.html . While hell be dialed in to that tournament on a course he loves, you can forgive him if his eyes glance down the calendar just a bit, towards April. Dan Biggar believes that public criticism is part and parcel of the game as Wales look to bounce back from their Wallabies walloping when they tackle Argentina on Saturday.But the Wales fly-half has also cited a famous number 10 from another sport - England football captain Wayne Rooney - as an example of when he feels things can go too far.Rooney has unusually been a substitute for Manchester United several times this season and was also on the bench for England in their World Cup qualifier against Slovenia - a combination of events which sparked sometimes fierce critical comment about him.Biggar and company also faced headlines of the wrong type this week following a 32-8 defeat against Australia that was Wales heaviest home defeat for 10 years.I am not on social media, but of course you pick up little things and what people say in articles and that, but for me, its just part and parcel of the game, said Biggar, who wins his 50th cap this weekend.The way I look at it, Im in a great position.Imagine being someone like Wayne Rooney over the last three months and the press, their disgusting treatment of one of Englands better players. If I think Im having a tough time, just look at him.Living and playing in Wales can be very much a goldfish bowl. Sometimes, it can be nice to be outside of that and get on with your day-to-day life.But I dont take any notice of the criticism and, ultimately, everyone wants Wales to do well and get better.If everyone had gone out there and not tried (last Saturday) and rolled over, been lax and not hurt by it, fair enough, but it is not as if we werent trying.Its always easier to slow the tape down and criticise after the event.We were hugely disappointed, weve spoken very honestlly about it, but now its about focusing on Argentina, putting a better performance in, enjoying ourselves a bit more and taking a little bit of pressure off ourselves. Duke Riley Jersey. What Ive learnt over the years is that you cannot change peoples opinions.I watched a little bit of the football last Sunday, went out for food with my wife and did normal things. Was it going to change the result if we stayed in hiding for two days? Is it going to change what people say?Its not going to change a thing. You have just got to be mature about it. A couple of years ago, I would have probably stayed in the house and drawn the curtains.Biggar will be key to Wales hopes of posting a first Test match win since March, aiming to pull the tactical strings for a much-changed team that sees no Jamie Roberts, but Roberts fellow British and Irish Lions Test players Sam Warburton and Alun Wyn Jones both returning.Recent history in the fixture favours Wales, having beaten Argentina in four of the countries last five meetings, but Biggar knows a powerful Pumas challenge awaits.Argentina have got a Super Rugby franchise now, they were semi-finalists and finished fourth at the World Cup last year and they have got some world-class players, he added.We will have to put in a very good performance - certainly better than last week - to pick up a result.The way they play the game, there is going to be plenty of off-loads, and I wouldnt have thought there would be too much kicking from them. I am sure it will be an entertaining game and a real challenge for us - we are being prepared for a full-blooded Test match.

PAUL, Minn. MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Jets receiver Brandon Marshall kept complaining all afternoon -- to the officials, to his quarterback, to Dolphins cornerback Byron Maxwell and to anyone who would listen after the game.Maxwell let the scoreboard do the talking.Miami beat New York 27-23 Sunday, in part because Maxwell held Marshall in check. The Jets star receiver totaled only 45 yards on six receptions , and said his matchup against Maxwell wasnt fair.I think I did an amazing job of keeping my emotions in check, a frustrated, dejected Marshall said. He was exactly who I thought he was. Hes a holder, hes a grabber. Thats not how you play football.Marshall said during the week that Maxwell held him on every play in a previous meeting. The feud was news to many, because while Marshall is a six-time Pro Bowl receiver, Maxwell is with his third NFL team and briefly lost his starting job earlier this year.The two had faced each other only once previously, but went one-on-one on almost every Jets snap Sunday. There was a shoving match after the first play, and Marshall often waved in arms after the whistle in protest. Once, he stood hollering at Maxwell from a distance of 10 yards after a pass was thrown in the other direction.What did Marshall say to Maxwell?Everything, everything. `Stop holding, stop holding. You get paid way too much money to play like that. He has to believe in himself, and he needs to practice. Thats what I was saying, Marshall said.What did Maxwell say to Marshall?`What you say dont matter. Lets go. Theres nothing going to change. Im going to be still here, Maxwell said. He was really blowing hot air. Dexter McCoil Jersey. Whatever.Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said the constant jawing didnt throw Marshall off his game.Theres always gamesmanship involved, Fitzpatrick said. He knows what hes doing out there.Marshall did draw two pass interference penalties on Maxwell, one for 26 yards in the fourth quarter. Miami was called for one other interference penalty, and one for defensive holding.A lot of those calls put us in a very good position and moved us down the field, Marshall said. Their guys around him rallied, because he could have really hurt his team.Marshall was also upset about the lack of productivity by the Jets, who squandered numerous chances and were hurt by two Fitzpatrick interceptions. After a third-down incompletion by Fitzpatrick in the second quarter, Marshall gave his quarterback an earful .Thats just part of football and part of our relationship, Fitzpatrick said. The great thing about him is hes just a crazy competitor, and he wants the ball on every play.Marshall was targeted nine times in 54 plays and took a big share of the blame for the loss.Im so disappointed in the offensive performance, Marshall said. It falls on Fitz and me. The whole season falls on Fitz and me.

What do you need to know about the weekends big stories? Joe McDonald gives us his take on the biggest and best. Nike Air Max 270 White Volt For Sale . This is where we say Morning, Joe.Flyers scorching-hot: The Philadelphia Flyers have won nine consecutive games for the first time since 1995, impressively extending the streak with the past two wins on back-to-back nights. Brayden Schenn scored in overtime for a 1-0 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday after scoring a hat trick in Saturdays 4-2 win over the Dallas Stars. Schenn, who posted a career-high 26 goals and 33 assists for 59 points in 80 games last season, has taken another step forward this season. It helps that the Flyers have three players among the leagues top 15 in scoring with Jakub Voracek (11 goals, 21 assists, 32 points), Claude Giroux (9-20--29) and Wayne Simmonds (15-13--28). Voracek is having a bounce-back season and has 15 points in his past nine games to push him to a tie for second in league scoring. The Flyers showed grit and determination while earning a postseason berth last season but lost to the Washington Capitals in the first round. With their play lately, the Flyers are proving that was no fluke and are a playoff contender again.Laine is learning: The Winnipeg Jets Patrik Laine has enjoyed an impressive rookie season, with 17 goals in 31 games. Hes also learned that every once in a while youre going to have one of those nights when you want to crawl under the Zamboni. On Sunday, with the Jets and Edmonton Oilers tied at 2 in the third period, Laine inadvertently scored an own goal that led to a 3-2 loss. The 18-year-old forward is a confident and emotional kid. He was obviously disappointed with the miscue, and you can bet hell quickly bounce back and continue his offensive prowess. At the other end of the ice, Oilers captain Connor McDavid earned his 26th assist of the season and now has a league-leading 38 points in 30 games.Wild bringing tighter D: The Minnesota Wild have won four consecutive games, and the majority of the focus has been on goaltender Devan Dubnyk, who is 6-0-2 in his past eight. Overall, he leads the league with a 1.66 goals-against average, a .946 save percentage and four shutouts. Coming off Sundays 3-1 win over the St. Louis Blues, Minnesota is in third place in the Central Division. The new coaching staff has been inspirational for the Wild. Coach Bruce Boudreau has done a terrific job on his own, but his addition of former NHL defenseman Scott Stevens to run the defense has paid dividends. Early on, the Wild had no problem scoring goals, but keeping the puck out of their own net was a challenge. Its evident that Stevens message is being received because Minnesota has been sound as a five-man defensive unit, and it shows with Dubnyks performance. And, honestly, whos going to argue with Stevens, a former bone-crushing hitter? When he talks, you listen.?

LOS ANGELES -- Although the San Jose Sharks and the Los Angeles Kings have one of the NHLs liveliest rivalries, the ice has been tilted decidedly toward the north in the past 14 months. Cheap Air Max Tailwind 2 .Particularly when the clubs meet down south at Staples Center, where the Sharks have made themselves at home.Logan Couture had two goals and an assist, Ryan Carpenter scored his first NHL goal and San Jose extended its recent mastery over the Kings with a 4-1 victory Wednesday night.Kevin Labanc also scored and Martin Jones made 26 saves against his former team in the Pacific Division-leading Sharks fifth win in six games. Couture and Carpenter scored 30 seconds apart in the final minute of the first period, and Los Angeles couldnt recover from that defensive lapse.Anytime we play LA, theres no speeches needed, San Jose coach Peter DeBoer said. We know its going to be a hard game, and our guys respond to the challenge.They also make themselves at home in downtown Los Angeles. The Sharks won at Staples Center for the sixth consecutive time, including three playoff victories last spring.San Jose ousted the Kings in the first round on the way to the Stanley Cup Final, and the Sharks control over their oldest rival has continued this fall with two regular season victories.They play tough in this building, Couture said. They come out with energy. Theyre physical. Theyre big. Theyre strong. Theyre difficult to play against, (but) this is how we played last year down the stretch and into the playoffs. We get up on teams, (and) its tough for teams to come back. We defend well, and (Jones) makes big saves and we walk out with the win.Couture, who sharply criticized the Kings and Norris Trophy-winning defenseman Drew Doughty last year after their playoff series ended, added an empty-net goal. He has only two multipoint games this year -- and both were against the Kings.Doughty tried and failed to keep Coutures late clearance from settling in the Kings empty net.I saw the replay and got a little chuckle out of it, Couture said. Hes a special player, a guy I see all the time in the summer. Its always fun to play the best players in the world, and its fun we get to play him all the time.Dustin Brown scored for the Kings, whose five-game winning streak ended with another frustrating night against their upstate rivals. Peter Budaj stopped 20 shots in Los Angeles first home loss in seven games since Nov. 1.We know theyre a good team, Gaborik said. It was a tight game out there at times, but they had a few odd-man rushes which we normally dont give up. Hopefully our game will get better and better.After Labanc converted Coutures pass on a 2-on-1 break to open the scoring, Couture got his team-leading eighth goal in the final minute of the Sharks three-goal first period.Carpenter, an AHL All-Star last season while leading San Joses top affiliate in scoring, found the net in his fourth NHL game over two seasons -- although Budaj probably should have stopped the shot between his legs.Joel Ward had two assists in the sequence for the Sharks.Brown finally got the Kings on the board early in the second period, roofing a rebound of Gaboriks shot during a power play for his fourth goal.Game notes Gaborik played his second game of the season and got his first regular season point since Feb. 12.

In qualifying, Grosjean lost the rear of his car under braking for Turn 10 and later admitted it was partly borne out of frustration about the gap to teammate Esteban Gutierrez.Esteban is pretty happy with his car to be fair, he said. I was more than 1sec away from him and then we started qualifying, I did my first lap which I thought was quite a decent lap and then I checked and I was 1.2s away.So I said f--- it, I switched off the brain and I go for 200%. It was going for as long as it could but eventually I just braked, lost the rear and that was it. Honestly, I dont understand what is going on this weekend.Grosjean said his confidennce in the behaviour of the car had taken a big hit this weekend. Cheap Air Max Flyknit. .My confidence is s---! Close to zero... when you spin once at high-speed and the second time you spin under braking, how do you gain confidence?We are looking at data to see what we can do, checking the car after the crash to see the damage and then in the race hopefully the first few laps are good and I can build from there. Clearly I wont attack the first few laps.The first few laps are always slower than normal but I hope the feeling will come back and I can drive the car as I would. Right now I am just looking at data and thinking OK braking 15m later, just go for 15m but it isnt like my body is telling me thats the braking point, thats the minimum you should carry, it is almost like I need help in every corner.

From afar, thats the story, the tension.But up close, the reality is far less dramatic.Entering this weekends competition, which began Friday night at the SAP Center in San Jose, California, and continues Sunday evening, four of those five spots were considered to be all but locked up by three-time world champion Simone Biles, 2012 Olympic floor champ Aly Raisman, reigning Olympic all-around champion Gabby Douglas and 16-year-old newcomer Laurie Hernandez.That leaves one spot for an athlete who can contribute a high-scoring bar routine -- the weakest event for the collective four women named above -- during the team competition in Rio. And because the team selection is based on the discretion of national team coordinator Martha Karolyi and a selection committee, a gymnast doesnt need to place in the top five at trials in order to make the team. Instead, the final decision is based on more intangible criteria that includes past results, consistency in practice, and how the athlete fits into the team dynamic.That fifth and final spot will likely go to one of two women: Madison Kocian of Plano, Texas, the 2015 co-world champion on bars, and Ashton Locklear, the bars champion at the 2016 Pacific Rim Championships and 2016 U.S. national champion in that event.At the start of Fridays competition, the potential for either gymnast to make the team seemed almost identical. Both women own recent titles on the apparatus at international competitions and consistently put up the highest scores on bars of any current American gymnasts. Either would give a strong U.S. team an even greater advantage to win gold in Rio.In San Jose, Locklear was the first of the two women to compete on bars, in the second rotation, and she made a strong statement to the selection committee that her name should be called Sunday night. Her score of 15.750, the best of the night until that point, was higher than her winning score at nationals in June, higher than her score at Pac Rims, and higher than Kocians winning score at the World Championships.Im really confident, Locklear said. Ive done so well at past competitions and won so many times, and I feel like Im building a good record for myself.If shes named to the team, Locklear would be the first Native American gymnast to compete for the U.S. at the Olympics. A member of the Lumbee Tribe, the largest in North Carolina, Locklear wears a Lumbee pin on the strap of her competition bag and carries a dream catcher with her that was given to her by a member of the tribe.ddddddddddddts a great feeling knowing theyre cheering for me back home, Locklear said. Its very unique and it means the world to me that I have their support.Locklears score set the bar in San Jose. But Kocian says she didnt notice.I didnt see [Locklears] score before I competed, Kocian said. I try to focus on myself. Thats all you can control. What she does doesnt affect what I can do. If I let my mind wander to anyone else, you dont have 100 percent focus on yourself, and thats when you start making mistakes.In the next rotation, as Locklear prepared to mount the balance beam, the only other event in which she competes, Kocian completed her bar routine and was also awarded 15.750. It was a tie. At least in the literal sense.The scores dont really matter to the selection committee right now, Kocian said. Its what you have been doing in practice throughout the week and your consistency. After tonight, my confidence has increased.Soon after the crowd celebrated Kocians score, Locklear fell from the beam.I dont think I fell once this week in training, so its frustrating coming into a competition like this and falling, Locklear said. I have to turn the page. Beam is not my specialty, and that is not what they are looking at me for. I showed them that I have a good bars routine, and Ive had good bars in the past. They know I have a good record.But so too, does Kocian, who backed up her impressive bar routine with solid performances in each of the other three rotations and finished sixth in the all-around. Kocian also competes a bar routine with a higher difficulty score than Locklears, which leaves more room for mistakes -- and for improvement.They tied on bars, but [Kocian] had some other routines that could be useful in a team situation, Karolyi said. Right now, she is placing well in my eyes.Still, Locklear believes if the selection committee focuses not on her fall on beam -- where she is unlikely to be asked to contribute in Rio -- but only on her strength and consistency on bars, she has a legitimate shot at the final spot.Its the little things, she says. There were a couple handstands I missed, and my dismount might have been a little low. I could have done better.As the Lumbee Tribe watches from North Carolina, shell have one final opportunity to do so on Sunday.

Chris Woakes, the England fast bowler, has admitted the players have to pinch ourselves after the dramatic turnaround in their one-day fortunes over the last year. Since crashing out of the 2015 World Cup at the group stage, England have completely revolutionalised their approach to ODIs, culminating in a record-strewn performance at Trent Bridge that saw them set a new mark for the highest total by any team.Englands 444 for 3 was built on 171 from opener Alex Hales - an ODI record for an Englishman - and included Jos Buttler striking a 22-ball fifty, another national best. It was the latest astonishing feat from a team that began the revival against New Zealand last summer, during a series in which they passed 400 for the first time and then recorded their highest successful ODI chase, also at Trent Bridge.Victory over Pakistan gave England their fourth series win out of six since the World Cup (excluding an abandoned ODI in Ireland) and they are yet to lose a limited-overs match at home this year. Woakes nevertheless suggested England had been short of their best in the first two matches against Pakistan - victories by 44 runs (DLS method) and four wickets - and that the 169-run thumping handed out on Tuesday wasnt perfect, at least from a bowling perspective.Its credit to the way the guys have played, the way its led from the coach, the captain and all the way through, Woakes said. We are encouraged to play our natural games and the batsmen have led that. Its only happened since 12 months ago, that series against New Zealand, but we do have to pinch ourselves a little bit because the improvements have been dramatic from where we were. Hopefully that can continue.We realise theres still a lot of improvement to make, we arent the finished article, and I think that showed in the first two games of the series - although we were winning we felt we could improve and we showed that. It still wasnt perfect, probably the perfect performance with the bat, but still things to work on.There were certainly a few flaws in Englands fielding display, with dropped catches by Hales and Buttler preventing an even more emphatic margin of victory. Woakes was the pick of the attack, his 4 for 41 including the final wicket to cap off another special performance. Just an amazing day, really, to set a world record is phenomenal. Its a really amazing achievement by the team, he said.Hales innings was the second time this summer that one of Englands openers had threatened the previous individual record, set by Robin Smith in 1993 - Jason Roy fell just short when dismissed for 162 against Sri Lanka at The Oval. With a power-packed line-up to follow them, including the consistently productive Joe Root and the scorer of Englands fastest ODI century in Buttler, there was speculation about whether England could go even further, though Woakes suggested that the 500 barrier might remain safe for a while yet.Who knows? If the boys keep batting the way they are you can never say never but it would be a really freakish day, he said. Weve seen 400 reached a lot more often but whether 500 can happen, Im not sure it can to be honest. I hope not as a bowler.Woakes also became the latest England player to be asked about the tour of Bangladesh, scheduled to depart in a months time, and while he would not confirm his own preference either way, he said you have to respect the briefing given to the team by Reg Dickason, the ECBs head of security.Its a tricky one, he said. Im going to sound like a bit of a broken record from what the lads have said before, we are trying to concentrate on our cricket for this series. We are having all the discussions with Reg, the security people, [Andrew] Strauss, and Im sure by the end of the series everyone will have to have made their minds up and Im in exactly the same boat. You have to respect the security level that Reg has reported back on. IRVINE, Calif. -- Technically, the Los Angeles Rams game Saturday with the Dallas Cowboys is just a preseason opener at a temporary home for a relocating team that hasnt made the playoffs in 11 years.But that temporary home is also the teams traditional home, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, where theyll play as the host team for the first time in 36 years, giving the day huge sentimental and symbolic importance for fans.Im really ecstatic to see my team back on the field in LA, said longtime fan and local native Dan Salcedo.For now fans have to watch a rebuilding Rams team, though with reasons for excitement including explosive young running back Todd Gurley and No. 1 overall draft pick quarterback Jared Goff, who for now will back up starter Case Keenum.The young players have been getting the Hollywood treatment already.The teams training camp is the focus of this years Hard Knocks on HBO, which had its red-carpet premiere this week.Hip stars like rapper Kendrick Lamar visited the team at training camp, and their games are likely to become a new version of the Lakers sideline for celebrities.Their jerseys, hats and stickers have begun flourishing on store shelves and car bumpers alongside Lakers and Dodgers gear, and tens of thousands have already watched the team at camp.Unlike Brooklyn when it lost its Dodgers, or Cleveland when it lost its original Browns, LAs famously relaxed fans didnt shed many public tears when the Rams skipped town for St. Louis.But that doesnt mean the Rams didnt leave a hole that theyve now begun to refill.I was heartbroken when they left, said Salcedo, 40, who wore an old-school Rams Jack Youngblood jersey as he attended a team scrimmage at the Coliseum last week. When they announced they were coming back I was ecstatic.There are also plenty of young fans who never knew the LA Rams, many of whom are just as excited as the old-timers at the new-old franchise coming to town..ddddddddddddRefugio Gonzalez, 26, who lives in nearby Pomona, is feeling especially lucky as he adopted the team based solely on their merits back in 1999 while they were in St. Louis.I turned on the TV one day and they were playing the Titans in the Super Bowl, Gonzalez said at the scrimmage. They won, and the next season I started following them and fell in love with the team and the players. Marshall Faulk, Kurt Warner, Tory Holt, Isaac Holt. The Greatest Show on Turf. Ever since then I started following them, became a big fan, cant miss the games on TV and now they are here in Los Angeles. Having the opportunity to come see them in person, its an awesome experience.Itll be a seasons worth of sentimental games at the Coliseum, where the Rams will play until their state-of-the-art new home is built in Inglewood. Plenty of former USC players and coaches, including Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, will get to return to the Coliseum, which the Trojans call home.The Rams played at the Coliseum -- and won four NFL championships there -- from 1946 until 1980. They then played their next 15 seasons at Angel Stadium in Anaheim before moving on to St. Louis in 1994.The Cowboys are a fitting opponent for the homecoming. They have a typically large following in a town that has lacked an NFL team, they have long held their training camp in Southern California and owner Jerry Jones was among the NFL power brokers who most strongly fought for returning a team to the LA area.Im so grateful for the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Salcedo said. He was an engine to bring the Rams back here to LA. Im grateful for them, but Im an LA Ram fan. Were going to beat the Cowboys. As far as the first game of the season, were going to rock.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Jerseys 2020 Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys 2020 Cheap Jerseys Store Cheap Jerseys Jerseys From China ' ' ' 

RIO DE JANEIRO -- University of Oregon multisport star Devon Allen finished fifth in the mens 110-meter hurdles final Tuesday in Rio de Janeiro in the first time the Americans have been shut out of a medal in the event.Omar McLeod, the world indoor champion, converted his season dominance of the 110m hurdles into an Olympic gold medal, a first for Jamaica in the event.Add the hurdles to the growing list of things the tiny Caribbean Island is dominating. McLeod said he fed off the medal-winning performances of Usain Bolt in the mens 100 and Elaine Thompson (gold) and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (bronze) in the womens 100.You see them go out and represent themselves and represent their country, have fun -- and they win. They harness medals, McLeod said. You want to do the same thing. Its contagious. You want to feel how it feels. I felt how it feels.Could McLeod turn into the Bolt of the hurdles?Well see, he said. The feeling is indescribable. I dont know whats going through my mind right now. I need to go back and just recite it a couple times, saying, Youre an Olympic champion.McLeod, who was a track standout at the University of Arkansas before turning pro, gained the lead quickly and pulled away as he won in 13.05 seconds.?Cuban-born Orlando Ortega of Spain took silver in 13.17 seconds, and Dimitri Bascou of France won bronze in 13.24. Ortega gave Spain its first medal in track and field since 2004.I was just thinking, Come on. Go. Go finish, Ortega said. I see the [big screen] TV and see my second place. I cant believe this moment.Allen said he didnt run the technical race hed hoped for but was proud of a top-five finish.?For it being my first international competition, as well as my first Olympics, I think I did well, he said. In hurdles, there are barriers, and theyre in the way, and its about maneuvering and managing those barriers, and my body position wasnt as great as I would have wanted it to be, and thats why I wasnt as fast.The Ducks wide receiver said he plans to wind down and enjoy the last few days in Rio with his family before?he joins his?Oregon?football teammates on the practice field.Ill probably be the best-shaped athlete on the field right now, Allen said with a laugh.Allen had nine catches for 94 yards last season for the Ducks as he eased back into action after tearing a ligament in his right knee during the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, 2015. He said it wont take him long to get up to speed on the football field, and hes already at his playing weight of 185 pounds (84 kilograms). Still, rest might be a good thing.Jumping back in, it could work, Allen said. But maybe resting will make for a better athlete in the long run. Eventually, Ill get back in there.During the U.S. Olympic track trials, Allens high school track coach, Tim ONeil, said the 21-year-old has the potential to break the world record of 12.80 seconds.?Asked about ONeils claim following his fifth-place finish Tuesday, Allen said the record is still in sight.?I think thats something I am going to be doing in the next couple years, he said. This is my fifth year hurdling, and you see a lot of guys -- it takes technique to hurdle, and that takes time. The world record gets broken at later ages.Aries Merritt was 27, and Liu Xiang was a little older. It takes time, and I got nothing but time.There were quite a few tumbles and falls in the hurdles Tuesday. Haitis Jeffrey Julmis smacked into the first hurdle in his semifinal heat, tumbled over it and took the hurdle right along with him. Then he got back up and finished to a roar from the crowd.It didnt make sense to go down as a sore loser, Julmis said. The Olympic spirit -- finish the race.Information from ESPNs?Alyssa Roenigk?and The Associated Press was used in this report.? When it comes to our personal top 10 lists for our All-Time #MLBRank 100 project, there have been some good ones. David Schoenfield, Buster Olney and Jerry Crasnick picked Willie Mays as No. 1 in their all-time top 10s. Jayson Stark went with the Bambino.There are five names that have popped up on every top 10 list: Hank Aaron, Barry Bonds, Willie Mays, Babe Ruth and Ted Williams. And, no surprise, theyre on mine. But I do have one name on my list that no one else has. Without further hesitation, heres my all-time Top 10 list.10. Walter JohnsonThe greatest pitcher ever: 417 wins, 110 shutouts, a 2.17 ERA. I am a little biased. I went to Walter Johnson High School in Bethesda, Maryland.9. Ty CobbThe all-time leader in batting average, an extra-base hit machine and the greatest base stealer the game had seen for nearly 50 years.8. Stan MusialHe won three MVPs, had four second-place MVP finishes and is the most underrated superstar in the games history.7. Mickey MantleIn his prime years, he was as good, if not better, than Willie Mays. His career was shortened by injuries, but hiss career was highlighted mostly by winning championships -- seven.dddddddddddd6. Barry BondsEarly in his career, Bonds was the games best player with his speed, power and defense. Later, as sluggers go, he was third only to Ruth and Williams.5. Hank AaronThe all-time leader in total bases and RBIs, he also was a top five defensive right fielder.4. Lou GehrigIf he hadnt fallen sick, he might be the record holder in runs scored, RBIs and who knows what else.3. Ted WilliamsThe second-greatest hitter ever. If it werent for his military service, which was exceptional and heroic, he might have been the greatest.2. Willie MaysWhen he arrived in the big leagues in 1951, he was the greatest combination of power, speed and defense that the game had ever seen. And 65 years later, he still is.1. Babe RuthHes the greatest hitter ever. He was also the first to hit 30, 40, 50 and 60 homers in a season, and still has as many career shutouts (17) as Pedro Martinez.

Bryant The gameAtlanta started the game with a steady build up, before the drive stalled and they settled for a 36-yard field goal. However it was Aaron Rodgers and the Packers who got the first touchdown of the night. Missing a raft of their starting attack, including Randall Cobb, James Starks, Eddie Lacy and Ty Montgomery, Rodgers found his favourite receiver Jordy Nelson for a 58-yard gain, before firing to Nelson once more for a short five-yard pass into the end zone, to give the Packers a 7-3 lead. Jordy Nelson got the first touchdown of the night from five yards It took Atlanta just three plays to re-establish their advantage, Ryan throwing two consecutive 12-yard passes, before connecting with Taylor Gabriel for a 47-yard touchdown throw. Rodgers had to make the most of an unfamiliar offence, using Trevor Davis, Aaron Ripkowski and Knile Davis before passing to Geronimo Allison, who was promoted from the practice squad on Monday, for a four-yard touchdown to hand Green Bay a 14-10 lead. It was then Green Bays defence who stepped up, restricting Atlanta to a 40-yard field goal.  It was Geronimo Allisons first career touchdown and the third of five first half TDs Rookie wide receiver Trevor Davis who scored the first touchdown of his career to extend Green Bays lead, before a late field goal left the Packers 24-19 ahead, to cap an exhilarating first half. It wasnt until the end of the third quarter that the Falcons retook the lead, Devonta Freeman bursting through for a one-yard score to get his second touchdown of the night, and give Atlanta the 26-24 advantage. Green Bay forced a fifth lead change in the fourth quarter as Rodgers found Jeff Janis at the back of the end zone for a seven-yard score, before running in himself for the two-point conversation to make it 32-26. But the Falcons had the final say in the last minutes of the game as Ryan led the Falcons offence 75 yards on 11 plays, finishing with an 11-yard pass to Mohamed Sanu to move one point ahead with 31 seconds to go. Rodgers couldnt find an available receiver, giving Atlanta a 5-3 record and a two game cushion in the NFC South.  Mohamed Sanu scored the all-important touchdown which moves the Falcons to 5-3 for the season The Packers remain a game behind NFC North leaders Minnesota Vikings, who play the Chicago Bears on Monday night. Despite an improved performance from Rodgers, who rushed for a career high 60 yards, the lack of first choice receivers told, particularly down the stretch.

LeBron James misses the Olympic stage. http://www.authenticshopbroncos.com/broncos-tom-jackson-navy-blue-jersey/ .The Cleveland Cavaliers superstar, who decided to skip his fourth Olympics after leading the Cavs to an NBA title in June, said in an interview with ESPNs Rachel Nichols that he is keeping an eye on his teammates at the Rio Games.Every time I watch em, I wish I was out there, James said in the interview, portions of which will debut Thursday on ABCs Good Morning America and air subsequently during editions of ESPNs SportsCenter. I did not retire from Team USA. I just did not play this summer. So I still left the door open.The full interview with James will air Sunday on ESPN.Team USA advanced to the Rio semifinals with a 105-78 win Wednesday over Argentina.James joined USA Basketball for the 2004 Games in Athens, where the Americans lost their opener to Puerto Rico, dropped two more games and settled for bronze. He returned on the 2008 Redeem Team and won gold in Beijing and captured another gold medal four years ago in London.After leading the Cavs to a historic comeback against the?Golden State Warriors?in June, James said he needed rest and would?not play in Brazil. If he decides to return to the national team, he would be 35 at the 2020 Tokyo Games.James also addressed the call for social change he delivered at last months ESPYS with Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony.We wanted to start off the show with something that meant something, you know, that really was true to our hearts, and let our fellow athletes know where we stand, he said.He also talked about his work with the LeBron James Family Foundation and why building something in the Akron, Ohio, community where he grew up is so important to him.Im similar to these kids in every way, every way, shape or fashion, he said. I walk the same roads as these kids. I breathe the same air as these kids. You know, I understand what theyre going through, growing up in an inner city and having people just -- basically forget them. Like, theres no way theyre gonna make it. I had days where I just felt like it was just me and Mom, you know, and no one cared, and theres no way that were gonna be able to make it outta this.I definitely couldve been a statistic. I mean, I grew up in a single-parent household. My mother was 16 when she had me. I grew up in the inner city, where theres a lot of violence.James, who signed a three-year, $100 million deal with the Cavs last week, said in an online interview that he would be interested in NBA ownership when his playing days are over.I feel like my brain, as far as the game of basketball, is unique, James said on Open Run, a new podcast that is part of the Uninterrupted media platform he co-founded. I would love to continue to give my knowledge to the game. I would love to be a part of a franchise -- if not at the top. My dream is to actually own a team. If Im fortunate enough to own a team, then Im going to hire the best GM and president that I can. But I feel like I got a good eye for not only talent, because we all see a lot of talent, but the things that make the talent.The Associated Press contributed to this report. http://www.authenticshopbroncos.com/broncos-britton-colquitt-navy-blue-jersey/ . The Australian is competing in his final season in Formula One and still looking for his first win this year. He will look to end Vettels run of six straight race wins on Sunday. Webber, who is fifth in the championship, earned his second pole from the past three races and 13th of his career. http://www.authenticshopbroncos.com/broncos-a-j-derby-navy-blue-jersey/ . -- Peyton Manning will have all of his wide receivers available for the first time in a month when the Denver Broncos begin their playoff run Jan. http://www.authenticshopbroncos.com/broncos-virgil-green-navy-blue-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. TWICKENHAM -- This was the most curious of matches. The scoreboard showed a record 58-15 win over Fiji; it was job done but England at times looked vulnerable.Rhyme and reason was sometimes thrown into the cold, November air in a quiet Twickenham. For the first 30 minutes England played with a wonderful fluidity, exploiting Fijian lapses and lack of organisation to rack up a point a minute.But then the England systems started to creak, holes opened and suddenly the intensity had gone. The second half was at times played at walking pace with only momentary bursts from the Fijians and Englands back three interrupting the odd half cooked version of Swing, Low.The question hovering over this game is exactly what Eddie Jones would have learned from a match as, with the best will in the world, England were always going to win.The various close-ups of Jones face which appeared on the two big screens at Twickenham showed the characteristic upturned left eyebrow and the odd shake of the head.He will be pleased with their execution when try-scoring opportunities allowed but will be fuming at their defensive lapses. If they were a six out of 10 last week, you imagine hell offer this a lower mark.There were positives for England and if Jones was to take heart from a handful of performances then Elliot Dalys would be high up. In his first start on the wing since March 2013, and his first for England, he showcased his versatility with a performance of supreme assuredness.He drifted between his left wing berth and operating in the midfield with ease and took his try well. With Fijian kicking a little wayward, the ball rarely bounced around him and the way he popped up in the backline moves while also staying patiently on the wing would have pleased Jones.Alex Goode similarly impressed. His first involvement in the match was to, uncharacteristically, let a ball bounce in front of him but that was the only time he really showed nerves. http://www.authenticshopbroncos.com/broncos-peyton-manning-navy-blue-jersey/. Like Daly he was patient for his try and again like Daly he slotted into Englands backline as a playmaker, a dummy runner and the man to carry forward.Mike Brown has real competition for that fullback shirt. Completing the back three was Semesa Rokoduguni in his second cap and he showcased his attacking ability in devastating fashion.He is someone who is a ruthless finisher, a man so comfortable under the high ball and someone who manages to exploit any holes in opposition defences.But under the ever-critical eye of Jones, he will look at how Nemani Nadolo crashed through him - stopping the giant wing is no easy task, mind -- and then his positioning in the build up to the lineout which teed up Fijis second try.These positional nuances can be fixed, hes incredibly talented, but it remains to be seen if Jones wants to marshal that in-camp or ask for improvement back at Bath, restoring Marland Yarde in the process.This was more a match where Jones got to test Englands systems. During the week he talked about how the decision to play Daly on the flank and start Goode ahead of Brown was to build strength in depth ahead of the 2019 World Cup.Those are perhaps the most important lessons. You rarely get a free hit in international rugby but in a bizarre sort of way, these are the sorts of matches where Jones may learn the most.The England players focus, positioning and decision-making were all questioned by Fiji. Their scramble defence also had a work out.Up next is Argentina who will offer a far sterner test and it remains to be seen if Jones keeps the faith with those who were offered the opportunity of laying down their England marker.
