Dylan Hartley is still in the mix to be British & Irish Lions captain, according to coach Warren Gatland. Jimmy Smith Jersey .Hartley will find out on Wednesday how long a suspension he will serve after he was shown a red card in Northamptons match against Leinster on Friday.With 54 weeks of suspensions against his name, some have questioned whether he would be a suitable candidate for Lions captain but Gatland says he has some sympathy for the England skipper.I dont think its about ruling anyone out - its so early to be thinking that far ahead, Gatland said on Sky Sports. There are a number of people who will be in contention for a potential captains role. But it is about picking the squad first.There is a lot of water to go under the bridge before those sort of things are finalised.To be fair to Dylan in the last 12 months he has had a great track record and you have to feel for him. Hopefully he will take his punishment and get back for the Six Nations and hope he goes well.Gatland was speaking on a visit to the Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff and said his choice of captain will come after he has picked his squad for the Lions tour with a number of candidates in the mix for hooker.Ideally you pick a captain who you think is good enough to start in those Test matches but there are no guarantees -- form is paramount and whoever does get selected as captain on tour, their form has to be good enough for them to start, Gatland continued.Hartley has played very well for England but a lot of people have spoken about other hookers -- Rory Best and Jamie George who has been going great for Saracens. George is someone who has been putting pressure on Dylan as well. Tony Jefferson Jersey . - The Oakland Raiders re-signed offensive lineman Khalif Barnes on Friday. Alex Lewis Jersey .C. Lions has come to an end. Banks told TSN on Jan 2 that he had no interest in playing out the option year of his contract with the Lions in 2014, and he again made that clear in a conversation with Lions GM Wally Buono last week. http://www.cheapravensjerseyselite.com/?tag=cheap-marlon-humphrey-jersey . From filmmaker Nanette Burstein (On the Ropes), The Price of Gold revisits the saga that rocked the figure skating world ahead of the 1994 Lillehammer Olympic Winter Games: the assault on Nancy Kerrigan, and the plot that led its way back to her rival Tonya Harding. MONTREAL -- The Montreal Impact added a second designated player Tuesday with the signing of Argentine midfielder Hernan Bernardello. The Major League Soccer club did not disclose contract details. Bernardello, who turns 27 on Aug. 3, is known as a mainly defensive midfielder who is also a strong passer. He joins Italian striker Marco Di Vaio, who will earn $1.9 million this season, as the teams second designated player. "We are very pleased to have finalized the acquisition of a player who has played at the highest levels," Impact sporting director Nick De Santis said in a statement. "He fits in well with the identity of the club and we believe he will play an important role for us moving forward. "Hernan has consistently played between 25 and 30 games a season over his career. He is a player with great quality in midfield that covers a lot of ground, all while displaying great technical skills and great ability to relaunch attacks. He plays the game with a lot of passion and emotion." The deal will be finalized when Bernardello receives his international transfer certificate. Earlier on Tuesday, fullback Hassoun Camara welcomed the teams plan to add a top talent. The Impact has a busy schedule ahead both in Major League Soccer and the CONCACAF Champions League. "If he comes it will be good for us," said Camara. "It shows the ambition we have to do well in the league and to have other weapons in our arsenal for the league championship and the Champions League." The Impact is tied for second in the MLS Eastern Conference, with games in hand on its closest rivals. Montreal is four points behind first-place Kansas City, who it faces in its next match Saturday night at Saputo Stadium. Montreal qualified for the Champions League by winning the Amway Canadian Championship earlier this season. The first game is seet for Aug. C.J. Mosley Jersey. 7 at home against the San Jose Earthquakes. There was concern Bernardello may displace all-star Patrice Bernier, who plays in the defensive midfield spot. The Brossard, Que., native said he would wait and see what coach Marco Schallibaum decides to do with the lineup. "Well see once he gets here what the coach decides and what the new scheme will be," said Bernier. "Are we going to play the same system, or have players in different positions? We dont know." Schallibaum would not comment until the player officially joined the club. MLS teams are allowed up to three DPs at a time. A designated player can be paid more than the maximum under the salary cap, with only US$368,750 counting against the cap. Former Bologna striker Di Vaio joined as Montreals first DP midway through the its expansion season in 2012. Di Vaio missed the Impacts 0-0 draw on Saturday night with FC Dallas when he returned to Italy to attend to a family matter. The 37-year-old was back at practice Tuesday. "Its a pity when Marco cant play," said Schallibaum. "We needed him Saturday. "Daniele (Paponi) and Andrew (Wenger) did well, but maybe (missing) Marcos experience was the difference. But Im happy hes back and also that he has good news from his family." Bernardello began his pro career with Newells Old Boys in his home town of Rosario, Argentina before moving to Almeria in the Spanish league for three seasons. He was loaned to Atletico Colon, one of Argentinas top teams, last season. The five-foot-nine Bernardello played once for his country in 2009. He will be the second Argentine on the roster after midfielder Andres Romero. Another midfielder from that country, Maximiliano Rodriguez, has been placed on the long-term injury list. The Impact has 11 spots for foreign players filled on its roster.
