10Kyle Abbott (two matches, 13 wickets at 14. Cheap Adidas Shoes .84) Brought on the tour as a reserve bowler, Kyle Abbott was picked ahead of Morne Morkel for the Hobart and Adelaide Tests and stepped up in spectacular fashion. With red ball, he found swing and took a match-haul of nine including 6 for 77 at the Bellerive Oval to win the series. With pink ball, he managed to make the ball just wobble off the seam and added four more. These two Tests were the first Abbott has played consecutively in a series since his debut three years ago, proving why he is called the best 12th man around. He has earned the right to a longer run.9Vernon Philander (three matches, 12 wickets at 23.58, 136 runs at 27.20, one fifty) Making his comeback from an ankle ligament tear that kept him out of action for almost seven months last season, Vernon Philander looked back at his best - maybe even a little better. He stepped up in Dale Steyns absence in Perth to limit the Australian first-innings lead, scored 73 to build South Africas second innings, and ripped through the hosts in Hobart to dismiss them for 85. Philanders pink-ball game was not quite as good but, all-round, he put in a performances away from home that proved he is much more than a Newlands bully.8Quinton de Kock (three matches, 281 runs at 56.20, one hundred, two fifties, 11 catches) Wicketkeeper Quinton de Kocks hot streak with the bat featured four consecutive half-centuries, dating back to the New Zealand series in August, before he topped that up with what proved to be a match-winning century in Hobart. De Kocks ability to score quickly has bulked up South Africas lower-middle order and, although he will be disappointed not to have helped build more of a target in Adelaide, he is the only one of their batsmen to have showed consistent form.Kagiso Rabada (three matches, 15 wickets at 22.40) At just 21, Rabada plays with the maturity of a man much older and the results are speaking for themselves. Rabada was South Africas highest wicket-taker, two behind series-topper Josh Hazlewood, and combined raw pace with excellent control to earn the title of spearhead. Although Rabada has shrugged off such comments, he is increasingly looking like the leader of the attack. His five-for completed the Perth win and he took wickets in Hobart and Adelaide at crucial times to underline his value to the South African team.6Faf du Plessis (three matches, 206 runs at 51.50, one hundred) The stand-in captain went from hero to villain to hero again (to some) in a series in which he made a case to take over the role permanently. Faf du Plessis managed his troops excellently in Perth, especially after Dale Steyn broke down, and Hobart before he needed them to back him up in the mint-gate scandal. That they rallied behind him with such force showed how much respect he commands. The Australian public were much harsher on du Plessis and have branded him a cheat (he was found guilty of ball tampering and is fighting the verdict on appeal) but he used that as fuel to change his fortunes with the bat. Du Plessis hundred came amid boos in Adelaide but was seen as a sign of character in his own changeroom. After being dropped last season, du Plessis has now come full circle and South Africa have the problem of plenty in the batting and leadership departments.Temba Bavuma (three matches, 162 runs at 32.40, two fifties, two run-outs) The little man with the big heart, Temba Bavuma won many fans in Australia for his commitment and class. He scored two gritty half-centuries in Perth and Hobart and would have been disappointed at being unable to convert either of them into bigger scores, but has given South Africa a glimpse of a bright batting future. His series will be best remembered for his lively fielding and the run-out of David Warner in Perth that has become the stuff of legend.5.5JP Duminy (three matches, 184 runs at 36.80, one hundred, one wicket at 84.00) In Perth, where his Test career began, Duminy resurrected it with a big hundred to help South Africa post a match-winning total at the WACA. But he did not contribute much after that, and his bowling was hardly required. Although Duminy played an essential role as a senior player, he looks likeliest to have to make way when AB de Villiers returns.Dean Elgar (three matches, 161 runs at 32.20, one hundred) As the senior member of the top two, much rested on Dean Elgar and he shouldered the responsibility well with a century in Perth. That innings also helped bury some demons - Elgar made a pair there, on debut, four years ago. He may be concerned, however, that none of his other scores were higher than 17 and he was unable to share in any substantial stands with his opening partner.5Stephen Cook (three matches, 179 runs at 35.80, one hundred) After a tough tour in which his technique was dissected and dismissed as inadequate, Stephen Cook showed why he had thrived for a his decade-and-a-half on the first-class scene with an ugly but effective hundred in the second innings in Adelaide. Cooks patience and determination are the two ingredients most needed in an opener, but he may still have some work to do outside his off stump. He is likely to be retained for at least the next series but will know that he and Elgar need to start clicking if they are to survive in the long term.Keshav Maharaj (two matches, four wickets at 40.50) One of the two rookie spinners on the tour, Keshav Maharaj put his hand up as a future prospect with an impressive debut in Perth. He was disciplined and complemented the quicks while also proving feisty with bat in hand. Maharaj did not have much of a role in Hobart and may have thought himself unlucky to miss out in Adelaide, but will take comfort in knowing that the international stage is sure to see more of him.4Tabraiz Shamsi (one match, two wickets at 75.00) The other South African debutant was chinaman bowler Tabraiz Shamsi, who was held back as a secret weapon for the day-night Test. Much like Imran Tahir, he appeared overawed by the occasion and seemed to try too many things in the first innings, but returned well to find turn and bounce in the second. Shamsi is a unique asset to any team and is difficult to pick, but will need to work on his keeping things a little tighter going forward.3Hashim Amla (three matches, 98 runs at 19.60) South Africas most experienced batsman had a disappointing series to add to a lean away run that stretches back to 2014. Hashim Amlas last four away tours have only brought 233 runs at 16.64. He was out to Josh Hazlewood on all five occasions here, leading to an examination of his technique - he seems to playing inside the line too often - and questions over whether he is in decline. That he put down three catches only added to such suggestions. But Amla was more vocal than he has ever been, particularly in defence of Faf du Plessis, and seems to be stepping up in the senior-role stakes. Batting coach Neil McKenzie has predicted the Sri Lankan attack may come in for some punishment during South Africas home summer, which may prove pivotal in Amlas distinguished career. Cheap UA Shoes .ca! Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one. I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks. We witnessed that when Zack Kassian hit Edmontons Sam Gagner in the face after a missed check. Cheap Nike Shoes . -- Tony Stewart is 20 pounds lighter and has a titanium rod in his surgically repaired right leg. http://www.cheapshoesfree.com/ . You can watch the game live on TSN at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt. The Flyers had won seven of eight before dropping their last two outings on consecutive days over the weekend. Philadelphia was handed a 6-3 loss by the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday afternoon before dropping a 4-1 decision to the Rangers the following night in New York City.Ref Watch is back to debate another batch of controversial decisions from the weekends football fixtures. Weve got yet another bumper edition this week as former top-flight referee Dermot Gallagher joined Rob Wotton in the Sky Sports News HQ studio to go through a number of contentious calls, not only in the Premier League but also an unusual incident in League TwoFrom questionable penalty decisions, two yellow card incidents and a bizarre disallowed goal, we have picked out eight incidents reviewed during Mondays Ref Watch. Was your team affected by a contentious decision? Read on to find out...MATCH: Crystal Palace v Liverpool, SundayINCIDENT: Penalty given to Liverpool in injury time. Referee Andre Marriner felt Damien Delaney made contact with Christian Benteke in the box and a penalty was awarded. Should Liverpools injury-time penalty against Crystal Palace have been awarded? It was a decision hotly debated between Jamie Carragher and Thierry Henry SCENARIO: In the 94th minute, Delaney dived in on Benteke in the penalty box with the referee Marriner feeling there was enough contact to award a penalty.GALLAGHERS VIEW: Wrong decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: A decision that has polarised opinion. I think no, but there are many people that think yes. I have watched this all the time and I think no, but what this does highlight to me is that if we have a video referee and we go to the video referee, we are still not going to get a decision that everybody is going to agree on. The reason I say that is that the two guys sat here - Neil McCann and Ray Parlour - spoke to me earlier and they are poles apart. One says penalty and one says no.The law has to be applied from minute one to minute 90, there is no comfort zone for saying: It is 90+4 and you cannot give a penalty.MATCH: Crystal Palace v Liverpool, SundayINCIDENT: James Milner sent off for two yellow cards. James Milners second yellow card was given after a challenge on Wilfried Zaha SCENARIO: The first yellow card came in the 40th minute when James Milner went in late on Yohan Cabaye. The second yellow was given for a tough challenge on Wilfried Zaha just past the hour mark.GALLAGHERS VIEW: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: I think he can have no complaints. The first tackle on Cabaye is just late and reckless and everybody expects a yellow card. It is just a tackle that every player is going to get a yellow card for in the Premier League in any match.The second one he has gone in from behind to stop a counter-attack, he is reckless and gives the referee no alternative but to send him off. And unfortunately it is just a case of two mistimed tackles equals red.MATCH: Tottenham v Arsenal, SaturdayINCIDENT: Francis Coquelin sent off for two yellow cards. Coquelins tackle on Kane saw him get sent off SCENARIO: Coquelin brought down Eric Dier on the half-hour mark. The Frenchman was given a second yellow for a late tackle on Harry Kane on the touchline.GALLAGHERS VIEW: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: Michael [Oliver] did not think [that he was fouled in the build-up to his first yellow], but what you can definitely say is that he committed a yellow-card offence. It is interesting as he went to play advantage and then came back to give a free-kick and quiet rightly yellow carded him. He has handled the ball and stopped the play.His body tells you everything [for the second yellow] and unfortunately it is a decision Michael cannot not make.MATCH: Tottenham v Arsenal, SaturdayINCIDENT: Possible foul by Eric Dier on Olivier Giroud after already being on a yellow card. Eric Dier and Olivier Girous tussled near the halfway line SCENARIO: Giroud got past Dier but is then pulled back by the midfielder. Its a free-kick to Arsenal but no yellow card for Dier, who had already been booked.GALLAGHERS VIEW: Wrong decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: He pulls him back and stops a promising attack, so you cannot argue with that.The second one he hauls him down and I have no idea why Michael did not send him off. I think everybody would expect to be sent off. What I would say is the thing to learn about for the referee is that if he had to stand here, I think it would be easier for him to explain sending off the player than to try defending not sending him off. I think that is the key issue here. I cannot give a case for not sending him off, but I can certainly give a case for sending him off.MATCH: Tottenham v Arsenal, SaturdayINCIDENT: Hector Bellerin brings down Dele Alli when already on a yellow card Hector Bellerin and Dele Alli were involved in a collision SCENARIO: Alli is pulled back by the Arsenal right-back on the halfway line, but is not given a second yellow cardGALLAGHERS VIEW: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: I think the first one is definitely right, without a doubt, as once he has gone past he is away and has an avenue to go in and has a good promising attack, and he has stopped it.The second one I am not so sure about. It is on the halfway line, but is it stopping a promising attack? Is it breaking up a promising move? I think he is on the wing on the halfway line, and this is a case where there has to be a stepping process. And in this case that is pulling him over and saying: Listen this is your last chance. Because at that point, he is not stopping a promising attack, it is not what I would say is a mandatory yellow card.MATCH: West Brom v Manchester United, SundayINCIDENT: Juan Mata sent off after picking up two yellow cards for separate fouls on West Broms Darren Fletcher. Mata appears to make contact with Darren Fletcher, resulting in a yellow card for the Spaniard SCENARIO: Booked for blocking a Darren Fletcher free-kick, then received a second yellow for another challenge on Fletcher just 26 minutes in.GALLAGHERS VIEW: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: The first one he is delaying a restart. At the time, you neverr think of a second yellow, he is just taking one for the team.ddddddddddddhe second one, it is life and no matter how nice a guy is - I once sent off Matt Le Tissier and you could not meet a nicer guy! - the law does not allow you to pick and choose. He has committed a second yellow card and unfortunately he has got to go.MATCH: Everton v West Ham, SaturdayINCIDENT: Evertons Kevin Mirallas sent off for two bookings, the second one was a challenge on Aaron Cresswell. Kevin Mirallas was sent off after receiving a second yellow for a foul on Aaron Cresswell SCENARIO: Having already been booked for diving, Mirallas went in late on Aaron Cresswell as he tried to clear the ball. Red card was given in the 35th minute.GALLAGHERS VIEW: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: For the first yellow, it was the right call. The good thing is the referee is in the right spot, so he has the perfect view. He has got an angled view so he can see and so he has got a better view than us as he is looking sideways on and can see there is no contact and he has yellow carded him for attempting to deceive him.He has paid a heavy price for the first one and he has actually been sent off for the first one really, because for the tackle, he is going to get a yellow card every day of the week. But the first one could have been avoided. It is just instinctive really, he has gone for the ball and the referee has gone for his card.MATCH: Everton v West Ham, SaturdayINCIDENT: Mohamed Besic blocks Dimitri Payets shot in the box with his hand. Mohamed Besic blocks Dimitri Payets shot with his hand, but did he enough time to bring it back down? SCENARIO: The ball is floated across the box to Payet, whose volley then strikes Besics hand in the penalty area, but the referee gives no penalty.GALLAGHERS VIEW: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: I think he is right. If you watch, he is so close, he has turned, it has come so fast, he has made no attempt to play the ball. But it comes back to every week we are talking about handballs. Handball to me is the new offside, it is every week we are looking at it, but I think that would be very, very harsh.MATCH: Chelsea v Stoke, SaturdayINCIDENT: Erik Pieters on Oscar in the 79th minute after already being booked. No second yellow given. Dermot Gallagher feels Erik Pieters should have got a second yellow card after fouling Oscar SCENARIO: Pieters looked to have kicked Oscar, claiming the Brazilian made too much of it afterwards. Clattenburg doesnt issue a second yellow.GALLAGHERS VIEW: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: The first one was late and reckless. I think was is also good is that the assistant flags this as well as he has got the best view, which reinforces it.I do not think the second one is a yellow card as he pulls out and does not go in recklessly. It is a foul and not every foul is a yellow card.Match: Chelsea v Stoke, SaturdayINCIDENT: Oscar falls over in the box under a challenge from Marc Muniesa. Dermot Gallagher feels Marc Muniesas challenge on Oscar warranted a penalty SCENARIO: Oscar turns Muniesa in the penalty area, before being brought down by the Stoke defender, but referee Mark Clattenburg decides it is not a penalty.GALLAGHERS VIEW: Wrong decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: I think it is a foul and is in the penalty area. I think that should be a penalty, but for whatever reason the officials did not. Maybe the referee saw it from a different angle to me, I do not know, but from every angle I have seen Muniesa pushes over Oscar and he never once plays the ball.MATCH: Southampton v Sunderland, SaturdayINCIDENT: Jose Fonte sent off for foul on Sunderlands Fabio Borini. Jose Fonte was sent off for pulling back Fabio Borini SCENARIO: Saints skipper Fonte is sent off for pulling back Borini as the Sunderland striker runs clean through on goal in the 79th minute. A red card is issued.GALLAGHERS VIEW: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: The only decision is, is it a foul? I do not think he has played the ball, but once the referee has given the foul, there is no choice and he has to go as it is denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity. There is no doubt in my mind that if he is not fouled, the player gets free and goes on to have an attempt on goal.The assistant referee did not give it, but maybe over the headset he has said to the referee… That is the one thing about the communication system that we see no tangible evidence. He may have said, he may not, but if he had flagged it would have reinforced the referees decision.MATCH: Wimbledon v Accrington Stanley, SaturdayINCIDENT: Accrington take the lead just seconds after the referee blows for half-time Referee Trevor Kettle blew for half-time just as Accringtons Billy Kees shot hit the back of the net. Were Stanley hard done by? SCENARIO: Accringtons Billy Kee appears to score the opening goal, but referee Trevor Kettle chalks it off as he blew for half-time just as Kee shot.GALLAGHERS VIEW: Technically a correct decision, but not one he would have made.GALLAGHER SAYS: I can only put myself in that position and I think if I was in that position and I see a player turning in the box, I cannot be accurate to a split second when half-time is, so I do not think I would be blowing then. I think I would either blow long before he turns and shoots, or I would blow after he shot. I would not blow in the middle and you just see the furore it caused at half-time.As you say, technically he is right, but I do not know how he can be so accurate and how he wants to risk such match control because you saw what unfolded afterwards and I think that is probably a very difficult second half to referee.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. Asics Womens Shoes On Sale . -- The student section sang Happy Birthday to Brad Kaaya before the game, and there were a slew of text messages awaiting the Miami quarterback afterward.All that was nice, but all he really wanted was what was on the scoreboard.Kaaya threw for four touchdowns on the day he turned 21, Miami scored a school-record 42 points in the third quarter and the Mark Richt era began with an easy 70-3 win over Florida A&M on Saturday night.This is the only birthday present I wanted today, honestly, Kaaya said. All the other things are cool and stuff, but this is what the day was about.The Hurricanes (1-0) had three backs -- Joe Yearby, Mark Walton and Gus Edwards -- all top 100 yards, the first time a Miami trio has done that since 1987. Yearby ran for two scores, Walton and Edwards each ran for one, and seven other Hurricanes reached the end zone.Miami scored touchdowns on 10 of its first 12 possessions.We were just ready, said Miami receiver Braxton Berrios, who returned a punt for a touchdown.Kaayas four TD throws tied a career-best. He completed 12 of 18 passes for 135 yards.Kenneth Coleman completed nine of 16 passes for 135 yards for the Rattlers (0-1), who lost to Miami for the 10th consecutive time.We didnt come to play, Coleman said. Weve got work to do.Miami outgained FAMU 373-22 on the ground, and 523-197 in total yards.We had a chance for the first time in 2016 to see our kids compete in game conditions, which is a good thing, Rattlers coach Alex Wood said.It was Richts first game leading the Hurricanes. His team took a 28-3 lead into halftime, then scored touchdowns on all six of its opportunities in the third -- with Edwards going 74 yards for a score as the quarter expired.Ill just say this: I really, really like it here, said Richt, a 1982 Miami grad. I like these players. I like this university. I like the vibe of the city. Im very thankful to be here.THE TAKEAWAYFlorida A&M: The Rattlers got plenty of players involved both rushing and receiving, played two quarterbacks and put together a pair of relatively solid drives in the second quarter. In short, plenty of players got experience.Miami: The Hurricanes flirted with matching the school-record for points (77 against Savannah State in 2013) and sold more than 60,000 tickets. And the starting linebacker trio of Zach McCloud, Shaq Quarterman and Michael Pinckney -- all true freshmen -- got their college careers off to a flying start. It was a great experience, Quarterman said. The last trio of Miami backs to top 100 yards in the same game was Leonard Conley, Melvin Bratton and Warren Williams against Cincinnati on Oct. 24, 1987.POLL IMPLICATIONSMiamis drought may be over.The Hurricanes last appeared in the AP Top 25 on Nov. 10, 2013 -- 39 polls ago. Since then, 61 different programs have been ranked. If Miami appears in the poll that will be released Tuesday, itll be the first time the Hurricanes were ranked so early in a season since 2010.Thatd be awesome, Kaaya said. But at the same time, we cant just sit on that. ... In the grand scheme of things, we have lot bigger fish to fry.UP NEXTFlorida A&M: At Coastal Carolina, Sept. 10. Coastal Carolina beat FAMU 48-3 in 2014. For whatever this is worth, itll be the second straight week the Rattlers visit a school that made the 2016 College World Series -- the Chanticleers won the title.Miami: Host Florida Atlantic, Sept. 10. The Hurricanes are 2-0 all-time against the Owls, though were tested in the first half of last seasons meeting at FAU. Miami has rushed for 6.5 yards per carry in the two games.

The Cincinnati Reds remain perfect with their speedy rookie outfielder in the starting lineup.Stéphane Waite is coming home! After spending the past 10 years with the Chicago Blackhawks organization, Waite, a Sherbrooke, Quebec native, has been named the new goaltending coach of the Montreal Canadiens. The Habs have been looking for a new goalie coach since they decided not to renew the contract of Pierre Groulx back on June 3 of this year. Waite grew up a Canadiens fan and felt it was the perfect time for him and his family to move back to Quebec.

Along wiith over 30 years of experience as a goalie coach, he knows a thing or two about what it takes to win the Stanley Cup. Asics Womens Shoes Sale.

Waite made sure to call fellow Quebec native Crawford this morning to let him know the reasons as to why he has decided to join the Habs. The Canadiens and Carey Price both agree his game needs to be taken to another level and the Habs are hoping Waite can be the difference.

The four All-Star teams will play for $100,000 in prize money during TSNs annual skins game, airing live this weekend on TSN from The Fenlands Banff Recreation Centre.The Columbus Blue Jackets made a big move in free agency, committing to a long-term deal for a power forward who is about to undergo shoulder surgery. Numbers Game looks at Columbus signing of Nathan Horton. The Blue Jackets Get: RW Nathan Horton. Horton, 28, has been a part of one of hockeys better trios in Boston, playing with Milan Lucic and David Krejci. While they havent been as consistent as some other high-powered lines, they have been crucial to the Bruins run to the Cup Final twice in the last three seasons. In Hortons case, he had 36 points and a plus-31 ranking in 43 playoff games during the 2011 and 2013 playoffs, has had strong puck possession over the last three years and his 2.65 shots per game last season matched his previous career-best. Those were high points, however, and Horton has endured a number of challenges in recent seasons. Horton was a blossoming power forward who could score and scrap, if need be, but a concussion caused him to miss 36 regular season and seven playoff games in 2011-2012 and that, coupled with a chronic shoulder problem, may have taken away some of the bite in his game (22 penalty minutes in 43 games in 2013 was a career-low PIM rate). Going to Columbus will present challenges for Horton, not least of which is finding linemates with whom he will have the same chemistry that he did with Krejci and Lucic. Hortons shoulder surgery should leave him out for four-to-six months, so he could miss half of next season while hhe recovers. Cheap Football Italy Jerseys. If he returns to the lineup prepared to take a leadership role, go to the hard areas to score and bang bodies, then Horton can be a valuable addition. The concern anyone will have is the term which the Blue Jackets have committed. Seven years and $37.1-million (a $5.3-million cap hit) is a major investment in a player whose scoring rates last season (0.30 gpg and 0.51 ppg) were his lowest since his rookie year. Hortons young enough that he could be a productive scorer for the majority of the deal, but thats going to depend on who the Blue Jackets end up playing him with, because Horton doesnt carry the puck a lot; he does some, and he can dangle, but his game is predicated on being a big body forward who can go to the net and score from in close. If the Blue Jackets have a playmaker that can get Horton the puck in position to score, he very well could be a 25-to-30-goal scorer and if a healthy Horton is more a more physical presence, all the better. Surely part of the Blue Jackets reason to sign Horton so seven years is that it helped make the salary cap hit more palatable, but a healthy Horton scoring goals will be what provides value to Columbus. A team that ranked 25th in goals last season (2.40 per game) made a move to help address that shortcoming.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- It came down to a dare in the headwinds, a bit of verbal jockeying by elite triathletes at a moment when mere mortals would have been too gassed for banter. Cheap Football Japan Jerseys .Two-time world champion and prerace favorite Gwen Jorgensen of the United States knew she wouldnt win on reputation alone. A flat tire derailed her chances in the Olympic triathlon in London four years ago. On Saturday, she found herself rounding into the bell lap with defending champion Nicola Spirig of Switzerland. The two women hadnt been on the same course since that day in 2012.The 34-year-old Spirig had fought to get to the start on Copacabana Beach after a bike crash in early March. She raced with three plates and 23 screws in her surgically repaired left hand. She had helped make it a two-woman race with multiple aggressive attacks during the bike leg.Now, with no other athletes within realistic striking distance, the front-runners had a short discussion.No one wanted to lead, Spirig said. I was like, Come on, we share the work. And she said, No, I was leading before. I said, I was leading over there.It was just some mental games. I had to try everything to get her out of the rhythm a bit.It didnt work. She said, I already have a medal, Jorgensen said. And its fair enough. Now she has two and I still only have one.Jorgensen has the color she wants -- the gold she won by 40 seconds in 1 hour, 56 minutes, 16 seconds as she pulled away in the stretch, taking the first Olympic triathlon title by a U.S. athlete. Her pursuit compelled her to search for a coach on the other side of that world and to train with a group of young, hungry Australians who refer to her as grandma because she is 30 years old and consistently early to bed.Even as her honors and her aura expanded over the past few seasons -- two world championships, 17 World Triathlon Series wins and an undefeated 2015 -- Rio remained the big, flashing object on her radar.Jorgensen had controlled all that she could control. She won the test event held on the same course a year ago, and she was not about to let her feet betray her. She allowed herself a smile as she bore down on the finishing arch and hit the tape with her face awash in relief, followed by a few tears.She credited her husband, Patrick Lemieux, and Kiwi coach Jamie Turner, saying, Its as much their medal as it is mine.Ive said for four years that this was my goal, Jorgensen said, with just the slightest hitch in her voice. Aug. 20. I wanted to cross that line, I wanted to get a gold medal. Its pretty incredible that I was actually able to do it. Four years comes down to one day. To be able to perform on the day is something pretty amazing.Jorgensens quest combined her long-held Olympic ambition, the methodical mind of a certified public accountant, a multisport background at the University of Wisconsin and fearsome closing speed in the 10-kilometer run.Swimming was her first love, and when she was tapped by USA Triathlon college talent scout Barb Lindquist, I kind of laughed at them, Jorgensen said. I just felt like I didnt have what it took, Im not good enough.[Lindquist] said, On paper, you could be an Olympian. I just didnt believe that, and actually when I qualified for my first Olympics in 2012, it was a complete shock to me. Im just really thankful that Ive had those people to believe in me throughout the way and encourage me along the way, because without them I wouldnt be doing triathlon.Great Britains Vicky Holland saw Jorgensens kick from a familiar vantage point.To watch Gwen in full flight, usually from behind, is quite something, said Holland, who outsprinted teammate Non Stanford for the bronze medal.

There are big college football games and then there are those that rise to the level of being called Game of the Century. To be one of those games, whats needed is a No. 1 and No. 2.The Associated Press poll has been ranking college football teams for 80 years, helping to set the agenda for the season and provide context for big games. A matchup of undefeated teams or rivals with winning records is appealing. Make it 1 vs 2 and now you have something special. Maybe even a Game of the Century.In 1966 Notre Dame and Michigan State played a Game of the Century that still holds up today. It produced a memorably unsatisfying result and led to a vote in the AP poll that is still debated.College football in the 1960s began with an AP championship by Minnesota, its last before fading away as a Midwestern power, and ended with a Texas title, the last by an all-white team. In between, coach Bear Bryants Alabama Crimson Tide was the most dominant team, winning three national titles. But the centerpiece was a 10-10 tie between the Fighting Irish and Spartans that put more focus than ever on before on who finished No. 1.There were nine 1 vs. 2 matchups before the Notre Dame-Michigan State game on Nov. 19, 1966.This was different. Television was now a part of the equation. The game was initially not scheduled to be televised nationally because of restrictions about how many times each school could be on a national broadcast. Pressure from fans on the West Coast and down South helped persuade ABC to air the game everywhere on tape delay.It was the final regular-season game for Michigan State and second-to-last for Notre Dame. With the last poll still being taken before the bowls were played, it was apparent the winner would be in line for a national championship.The buildup was unprecedented. There was too much emphasis on the game, said 89-year-old Roger Valdiserri, who was Notre Dames sports information director in 1966. We had press conferences every day. There was so much interest in that game.Michigan State recceived more than 600 requests for media credentials, Valdiserri said. Replica Japan Jerseys. hat was unheard of at the time, he said.Playing with a banged up team and confident a tie would be enough to hold on to the No. 1 ranking going into the Southern California game the next week, Fighting Irish coach Ara Parseghian played it safe with the ball in his own end of the field and mostly ran out the last 70 seconds of the game.As Parseghian suspected, Notre Dame held the top spot in the poll, thumped USC 51-0 the next week and won the championship. Michigan State was second and unbeaten Alabama third.The result of the game and the vote led Michigan State coach Duffy Daugherty to call for a major college football playoff -- in 1966!Crimson Tide fans understandably felt slighted by the vote and wondered if AP voters from outside the region held the contentious politics of Alabama Gov. George Wallace during the Civil Rights movement against the football team. Despite Alabamas success in the 1960s, the Tide was only voted No. 1 nine times, less than Texas (23), Southern California (19), Ohio State (17), Notre Dame (16) and Michigan State (13).BEST PROGRAMSAlabama appeared in 77.78 percent of all polls taken.Texas, 71.43 percent.Southern California, 64.29 percent.BEST RIVALRYTexas vs. Arkansas. While Southern Cal vs. UCLA was great, Frank Broyless Razorbacks and Darrell Royals Longhorns were at the top of the old Southwest Conference. Their famous 1969 game was a 1 vs. 2 matchup that effectively decided the national championship, with the help of President Richard Nixon.MAIN TAKEAWAYNotre Dame changed course and started participating in the postseason in 1968, the same season the AP decided for good that the final poll would be taken and national title awarded after the bowl games.---Follow Ralph D.

Heading into the second full week of the fantasy football season, its important to not overreact too much to the opening games. Mens Air Max Retro .One full slate is not enough to establish pure trends yet.Heres what to watch and plan for in Week 2:---TIGHT END TURNAROUNDSGary Barnidge was shut out in Week 1. He should bounce back against the Ravens with Josh McCown taking over at quarterback again. Delanie Walker was held to three catches for 42 yards in the first week, but the Titans should make more of an effort to get him the ball against the Lions. Coby Fleener caught one ball for six yards in his Saints debut. He has a better matchup against the Giants this week. Barnidge and Walker should definitely be started, and Fleener has to prove himself with his new team, but this may be the week to do it.---COWBOY UPDez Bryant was held to eight yards on one catch last week, and Ezekiel Elliott ran for just 51 yards. Look for both Dallas playmakers to rise in Week 2 against the rival Redskins. Dak Prescott will make a strong effort to get the ball to Bryant often, as the offense may open up a bit more this week. Elliott is a key if the Cowboys want to control the clock, and he should get a lot of usage to balance the offense and take some pressure off Prescott.---MINNESOTA FLATSAdrian Peterson was very disappointing in the first week, as he rushed for 31 yards on 19 carries. Now, owners who drafted him in the first round are quite concerned. His Week 2 outing against Green Bay will be a pivotal performance. Peterson is likely going to be fired up to show that his clunker against the Titans was just a fluke. In a rivalry game against the Packers, with Sam Bradford likely taking over controls of the offense, Peterson should display his better form. Keep the faith and expect a strong statement that he is still not close to being done.---HIGH FLYING BIRDSCarson Wentz led a seemingly explosive offensive attack in a Week 1 opener against the Browns. Now the Eagles have another good matchup at Chicago, but this is the first road start for the rookie, and he may be without tight end Zach Ertz. Look for Philadelphia to rely heavily on Ryan Mathews, who is a good start as a second running back, and Jordan Matthews will be peppered with a lot of targets. If Wentz can pass his first road test, the Eagles may be a better fantasy resource than projected in the preseason.---POWER OUTAGEWithout Keenan Allen, the Chargers offense becomes less dynamic again. Travis Benjamin may now be overmatched as the potential No. 1 wideout, and Tyrell Williams must prove himself before he cracks your lineup. Philip Rivers now becomes much less of a sure thing as a top-12 quarterback. But Danny Woodhead should get a lot of additional work in the passing game and Antonio Gates can bounce back from a quiet opener as the Bolts host the Jaguars this week. Dont start any of the San Diego WRs, but Woodhead and Gates should be in point-per-reception lineups, and Melvin Gordon deserves some flex consideration after a good opener.---HURTING `HAWKSThe Seahawks frustrated fantasy owners in Week 1, scoring only 12 points against Miami in what seemed to be a very good matchup for their passing game. Russell Wilson suffered an ankle injury, and Tyler Lockett dropped a pair of passes. The Rams have a strong defensive line and always give the Seahawks fits no matter where they are in the standings. The Seattle offense may sputter again in what could be a close and low-scoring NFC West matchup. Thomas Rawls has regained the starting RB job, though, and is worth a start as a second running back.---HIGH-SCORING SAINTSNew Orleans exploded for 34 points in its season opener, led by 424 passing yards and four TD passes by Drew Brees. But they also allowed 35 points, and the Giants offense appears poised to hurt the Saints defense this week. Eli Manning could be headed for three TD passes or more, and even his secondary targets, such as promising rookie Sterling Shepard, and Victor Cruz on the comeback trail, are worthy of starting consideration. Rashad Jennings could finish off a TD drive or two. The New York defense has improved, so dont expect Brees and Co. to roll quite as easily as they did against the Raiders.---DENVER DILEMMAThe Colts legitimately looked like they had the worst defense in the league last week against the Lions. But how much advantage can the Broncos take of the matchup this week? Demaryius Thomas has a hip issue that may prevent him from fully exploiting the Indianapolis secondary, and the teams only true playmaker in the passing game besides Thomas is Emmanuel Sanders. Thomas is expected to play late Sunday, so we may not know his full status in time enough to comfortably slot him in as a starter. You may have to think about using a healthier alternative in an earlier game. Sanders is a must-start as a third wide receiver, though, and C.J. Anderson is a great daily play. The Broncos may lack the firepower to make the best of the situation if Thomas is not 100 percent, and their defense may get overworked against Andrew Luck as well.---This column was provided to The Associated Press by the Fantasy Sports Network, http://FNTSY.com .

The reason for his departure: he has been suddenly compelled to move back to his home country and fulfill mandatory military service.Polt was invited to the World Championship tournament based on his top-eight record in 2016 in the WCS Circuit, a collection of tournaments and leagues for players who compete outside of South Korea. His replacement at the WCS Global Playoffs has yet to be announced by Blizzard.I have been really happy for the past six years, Polt said in a press release on Team EnVyUs website. Playing StarCraft 2 and meeting a lot of people in the world gave me plenty of unforgettable memories. I have been able to [accomplish] a great achievement and I appreciate all of the support from [manager Andrew Tomlinson] and Team EnVyUs. Unfortunately, the time has come to say goodbye. However, remember that every ending is a new beginning. I am looking forward to seeing you again soon.Polt joined Team EnVyUs this past May as its second StarCraft 2 player. Prior tto joining, he took first at the WCS Winter Circuit Championship at Intel Extreme Masters Katowice in Poland. Air Max 90 Sale Red. After joining EnVyUs, he had a string of top placements at DreamHack Austin, Tours France, Valencia, and most recently at Montreal, where he took second overall in the WCS Summer Circuit Championship.Today, our entire organization is saddened that Polt must depart from competitive play, Team EnVyUs CEO Mike Hastr0 Rufail said in the press release. Polt has been one of the most iconic and fiercest competitors throughout his career in electronic sports. He will be remembered as a champion. We know he will take that success into whatever the future holds for him and we hope to see Polt back in esports as soon as possible.Polt first moved to the United States in Jan. 2014 from South Korea after being granted a P1-A athletic visa by the US State Department. Polt was only the second esports athlete to obtain such a visa, the first being now-former EnVyUs teammate Kim viOLet Dong Hwan. That process has become an important precedent for many esports competitors who seek to bring their talent to the US.

OTTAWA -- As good-luck charms go, fibreglass shrapnel isnt high on most hockey players lists. Nike Air Max Scontate Online . But it seemed to do the trick for Colin Greening, whose double-overtime heroics lifted the Ottawa Senators to a 2-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series. Greening needed six stitches to close a gash on his left cheek after taking a wayward stick to the face early in the game. The euphoria of his goal was still settling in even as the Senators medical staff were picking tiny bits of fibreglass out of his face. "You get a lot of adrenaline going through your body, but they were just small pieces," Greening said. "Like I said, the big pieces were all taken out." Greening scored 7:39 into double overtime to salvage a game for the Senators that looked to be going the other way with just seconds left on the clock in the third period. Pittsburgh still leads the series 2-1, with Game 4 in Ottawa on Wednesday. Tyler Kennedy scored with just over a minute to play in the second period to give the Penguins a 1-0 lead. It looked as though Pittsburgh would hold onto their lead when Senators defenceman Erik Karlsson took a slashing penalty with less than two minutes remaining in regulation time. But Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson brought the sellout crowd to its feet with a short-handed goal with 28 seconds left to send the game into extra time. "It looked like they had it wrapped up, and we were able to get a big goal shorthanded to get into overtime, and then both teams had their chances before we got the winner," Alfredsson said. Both teams had good scoring chances in the extra periods. Perhaps the best chance came when a Pittsburgh shot grazed the outstretched pad of Senators goaltender Craig Anderson and ricocheted off the post to nearly end the game in the first period of overtime. Anderson was on his game, stopping 49 shots Sunday night after being pulled in Game 2. He robbed Penguins captain Sidney Crosby early in the second period and then moments later stopped a hard shot by Evgeni Malkin, who smashed his stick against the ice in frustration. He again stymied Malkin with a sprawling save in the first overtime. Andersons extra-time heroics brought the crowd of 20,500 to its feet with chants of "Andy! Andy!" "You dont know what kind of bounces youre going to get. You just got to find a way to just keep getting pucks to the net and hope for some lucky bounces," Anderson said. "I had some luck my way with a couple of posts they hit, but you know, sometimes youve got to be lucky to be good." At the other end of the ice, the Senators struggled to get the puck past Penguins netminder Tomas Vokoun, who stopped 46 shots. All eyes were on Spezza as he made his return to the Senators lineup for the first time since Jan. 27, after undergoing back surgery to repair a herniated disc. The sellout crowd chanted the 29-year-olds name during his first shift. He lined up alongside Milan Michalek and Cory Conacher. He faced a familiar opponent. Spezzas last game before going under the knife was at home against the Penguins, when he got one assist and logged 21 minutes of ice time. In his first game back, Spezza was slow to backcheck but he did manage to generate a few scoring chances and made some nice passes. His back was put to the test in overtime when Penguins forward Craig Adams delivered a bone-crunching hit along the boards. Spezza shook off the hit and seemed none the worse for wear. "I popped up as quick as possible and tried to get to the bench," Spezza said. "I was just trying to get the puck out and was in a vulnerable position, and he picked me a little clean there." The win means the Senators remain undefeated on home ice during this years playoffs. Nike Air More Uptempo Nere . Hey!"

New Memphis coach Mike Norvell wants to build on the momentum established by his predecessor. Cheap Morocco Soccer Jerseys .Norvell begins his head coaching career this season by taking over for Justin Fuente, who turned around a traditionally losing program before Virginia Tech hired him away. Memphis has gone a combined 19-7 over the last two seasons.I was excited about the direction of where our program has been able to go -- and where I believe we can continue to help it grow in the future, Norvell said. Its been a great transition. The excitement about the things we have in place and the places that were going is pretty remarkable.The biggest challenge facing Norvell is making sure the offense continues moving the ball effectively without Paxton Lynch, the quarterback who teamed up with Fuente to orchestrate one of college footballs most dramatic turnarounds. Lynch left school after his junior season and was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the first round.Taking over for Lynch is former Tennessee quarterback Riley Ferguson.Hes got a great skill set, Norvell said. Hes got a strong arm, can really drive the ball down the field but is extremely accurate.Norvell spent the last four years at Arizona State, where he worked as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. He previously worked on Arizona State coach Todd Grahams staffs at Tulsa and Pittsburgh.But hes quite familiar with the Memphis area from his own playing days as a receiver at Central Arkansas. He believes Memphis has the elements in place to continue winning even in a new era that doesnt include Fuente or Lynch.Were excited about the things that are in place, Norvell said. We believe in the values of our program and what were going to accomplish. Now we just have to get out there and start getting it done.Here are some things to watch about Memphis.FERGUSONS SECOND CHANCE: Ferguson began his college career at Tennessee but never played a down for the Volunteers. After redshirting in 2013 and participating in spring practice the following year, Ferguson transferred in the summer of 2014. After spending the 2015 season at Coffeyville (Kansas) Community College, Ferguson is back in the state of Tennessee as Memphis starting quarterback.ANOTHER SEC EXPORT: Ferguson isnt the only former Southeastern Conference player set to make an impact for Memphis. Safety Jonathan Cook, who spent the 2013 and 2014 seasons at Alabama, should give the Tigers secondary a boost. Cook had 61 tackles last season at Garden City (Kansas) Community College.EXPERIENCED BLOCKERS: Memphis offensive line features four returning starters in tackles Gabe Kuhn and Trevon Tate, center Drew Kyser and guard Christopher Roberson. That group helped Memphis set school single-season records in total points (522) and yards (6,330) last year.SOLID SPECIAL TEAMS: Kicker Jake Elliott and punter Spencer Smith are both back after filling those roles last season. Elliott made all his extra-point attempts and went 23 of 28 on field goals last season and was a finalist for the Lou Groza Award, given annually to the nations top kicker.RUNNING BACK CONCERNS: Although Doroland Dorceus is back after rushing for a team-high 659 yards last season, the transfers of Jarvis Cooper and Jamarius Henderson leave Memphis without much depth in the backfield. That could create an opportunity for freshman Darrell Henderson.PREDICTION: The losses of Fuente and Lynch make it natural to assume the Tigers take at least a small step backward. Memphis still features enough talent to produce a third straight winning season, but a 7-5 record plus a bowl invitation seems more likely than a repeat of the 10-3 campaign in 2014 or the 9-4 mark from last season.SEASON OPENER: The Tigers host Southeast Missouri State on Sept. 3.---College football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Youth Morocco Jerseys . -- On the field, it was business as usual for Jameis Winston and No. Cheap Football Morocco Jerseys . -- Jimmy Walkers first PGA Tour trophy came with a special gift tucked inside. http://www.cheapmoroccojerseys.com/ . - Chris Tierney snapped a tie with a power-play goal late in the third period as the London Knights rallied from a 3-0 deficit to beat the Erie Otters 5-3 in Ontario Hockey League action on Wednesday.

Alam set about reviving the innings after the early loss of the openers, with a brace of pulled fours. Manzoor, becalmed till then, struck three fours in four balls, and motored to his half-century in 36 balls, bringing it up in the 15th over. By then, Blues were 118 for 2.Manzoor kicked into a higher gear when he crashed back-to-back sixes off Azam in the 17th over. But he fell next ball, skewing a catch to gully. Alam then reached his own half-century off 35 balls, and was assisted by Mohammad Samis unbeaten 20 off 10 balls. Blues took 64 off the last five overs, and it proved just enough to deny Whites.

They committed 11 turnovers that led to 16 points for Atlanta, got burned on defense while giving up easy baskets and missed their own open looks in shooting just 45.2 percent.Green returned after missing Saturdays hard-fought win against Minnesota because of a bruised left ankle sustained in a collision a night earlier at the Lakers that left Clark with a throat injury. Clark also sat out Saturday.Green quickly made an impact in this one, forcing a turnover on Atlantas first possession and emphatically pointing to signal it was Golden States ball. He dished out seven assists and first made a big block against Schroder before stuffing Kent Bazemore to finish with four blocks.The Warriors had double-digit blocks for an NBA-best fourth time this season.That was amazing.
