ATLANTA -- As cars speed on Techwood Drive by Hank McCamish Pavilion, the venue for thousands of basketball games, another much-anticipated sporting event is ready to kick off across the street for its second season of the year. Cameron Artis-Payne Jersey . ELeague, a collaborative project between television network Turner Broadcasting and sports management agency WME|IMG, is set to host four teams in its first group as it prepares for its second season of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive action.And for Jason Moses OToole, a former Counter-Strike player of analyst and casting fame, he prepares to once again provide analysis to hundred of thousands at home watching on television and on livestreaming platform Twitch. Moses, for his part, is known as one of the best, if not the best, North American analysts, often partaking in the analysis desk of most events within the Counter-Strike scene.Today, hes set to analyze a wide array of teams as North Americas Cloud9, Brazils Immortals, Germanys mousesports, and European-mixed team FaZe Clan have upcoming matches. This group, ELeagues group A, has some key differences from its sister groups.Group A lacks some of the strengths and [brand] names like some of the other ones, Moses tells ESPN. It doesnt have the Ninjas in Pyjamas, the Fnatics, Na`Vi, Virtus.pro obviously, but it still has some very interesting storylines. Can mousesports repeat? What are they going to look like after the [Tomá? oskar ??astny] situation? Cloud9, obviously, can they continue this run? How are they going to continue to look as they go on? Immortals, who I think is a dark horse, they dropped their first map. There is kind of some cool, interesting storylines without the strength of name.Moving forward, two of the groups, in particular group B and C, pit some of the best -- such as G2 Esports, Ninjas in Pyjamas, and Virtus.Pro in group B and Natus Vincere (Na`Vi), SK Gaming, and Astralis in group C -- against one another. But only two teams can make it out of each group alive and move on to playoffs.With the way [ELeague] has cut the groups down to the four groups of four, there are a lot of groups out there where you cant predict a winner, Moses says. There are very, very good teams that are going to be left out of the playoffs just because [there are groups] that are basically only good teams.ELeagues format change for this season, shortening the season from six groups and a last chance qualifier to four groups who automatically seed into playoffs, comes after feedback from teams, such as Virtus.pro, who had to stay for extended periods of time in Atlanta last season. Now with the new format, many teams have been seeded in extremely difficult groups.But if previous Counter-Strike tournaments are any indication, group B may be one of the best tournament groups any Counter-Strike competition will see this year. Polish team Virtus.pro, who is expected to top that group, is the best team in the world right now, according to Moses.Its rise to contest for first comes after the previously undisputed first place team, SK Gaming, who won both Major League Gaming Columbus and ESL One Cologne, have been in a slump since the departure and now return of Fernando fer Alvarenga; he was absent from the team for an extended period of time due to nasal surgery.I think also part of it has to do with those couple of months off [SK] took when fer was out with his surgery, that natural decay over their spot from just not competing in too many tournaments while Virtus.pro is doing a massive tour of the world, Moses explains. I wouldnt put Na`Vi up there as a danger to take the number one spot yet, just because I think they have critical issues in their map pool that looks very weak; I think thats whats going to stop them, despite the amount of skill [they have] and [the fact that] theyve been able to overcome [map pool weakness] to a certain degree.The Counter-Strike scene, for the past few months, has taken a swirling change with massive roster moves on both major continents, North America and Europe. Some teams, such as Cloud9 and Na`Vi, have seen improvement from said changes, while others like Fnatic and Godsent -- who made a swap with one another for several players -- have taken a hit in their performance.North America has seen improvement this year as well, particularly with Team Liquid, who took third-fourth at Columbus and second at Cologne, as well as a third-fourth recently at ESL One New York, showing moments of fantastic play. But Liquids lacked consistency and Cloud9, at least online, has recently shown that it too should be taken seriously.Despite these small weaknesses, Moses, a former North American player of the game, has an optimistic outlook.Its obviously the best weve seen North America; this region is the strongest its been, he says. Still, I think there are a lot of question marks. Im not sure, this Liquid team is like the eternal tease of North America, where all the roster changes and coaching changes theyve gone through over the entire year, theyve always been poised to get there.He says his questions lie in that of Liquid, Cloud9 and OpTic Gaming, each of which have had some good performances, but have failed to remain consistent. Consistency will be key if North America, as a region, wants to perform well at the upcoming ELeague major, the first of 2017, at Atlantas Fox Theatre. Moses has a pick for which NA representative will go the furthest.I dont think were going to see an American team in the final again [at the major in January], he explains. Cloud9, its going to see how things shape up with the group draw goes; I would still say at this moment that Cloud9 is the best hope [for North America] right now.He says he wont count out Liquid though, who has had two great major performances in 2016. But with a roster change in July of adding Jacob Pimp Winneche, the team has looked off base from its previous outings with former player Oleksandr s1mple Kostyliev. Additionally, Liquid has just parted ways from coach Luis Peacemaker Tadeu, who signed on in May.I think Liquid, if they can fix some of their issues, if they can find a way to get [Josh jdm64 Marzano] a little bit better, continue to improve with Pimp, I think theyre going to be the best hope come January, Moses says. I still think that that roster still has better pieces to be a stronger team, they just havent realized it yet and thats been the story of this core of [Nicholas nitr0 Cannella, Jonathan EliGE Jablonowski and Spencer HiKo Martin] ... since mid-2015, since whenever HiKo joined on basically.But as Counter-Strike moves into 2017, a glaring issue within the industry has come to a head: oversaturation. With many investors and tournament organizers taking interest in Counter-Strike in 2016, events have become plentiful, too plentiful in many cases. Often times, teams dont get breaks nor much time to practice before competing online or offline. Many players and teams complain that there are too many events, something Moses agrees on.To end this year, we have, even outside of ELeague: minors, the major qualifier, theres another DreamHack event, theres IEM Oakland, theres like four or five events coming in the end of the year and theres only two months [left] in the year, he says.Recently, one team, Australian squad Renegades, had to cancel its trip to the ESL Pro League finals in S?o Paulo, Brazil, as they have to travel to Johor Bahru, Malaysia instead to compete in the Asian Minor. There they will play to earn a chance to play in the major qualifier for the ELeague major in January. Much of the Counter-Strike community was outraged by this scheduling issue when it was announced.Thats atrocious, the Renegades situation should never happen, Moses says on the topic. This team qualified for a huge event with the ESL Pro League and they should never be forced to choose between that and going to a minor. Unfortunately, you look at it and who can you really fault? Thats the tough part because these minors have to get scheduled at some point and with the way were going at it, and Ive heard about this same issue with different tournament organizers, where theyre looking for space to fit their league or tournament or whatever it might be, but no matter where they put it, someones getting screwed.But theres no easy solution and Moses says that hes certainly not in the position to come up with one. Some of the Counter-Strike community on social media has expressed that teams should just not attend events, but Moses says that doesnt make sense.Thats just, to a certain degree, not realistic when you dont know in esports how long Counter-Strike is going to be around, when you get a tournament thats $250,000, $500,000, were starting to get some high prize pools, he explains. As a player and being competitive, you want to go to all of them. Its not always realistic, whether its sponsors, whether its the exposure of an event, whether its your organization wanting you to go. Its not always a simple yes or no answer for players, especially considering the fact that when youre a team performing well -- weve seen it with multiple teams -- that your window to win championships is very, very small.

Editors note: This column appears each week to give ESPN Chalk readers a first look at the next weeks NFL lines. The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook also puts out the advance lines on the prior Tuesday (so Week 8 lines will be posted this upcoming Tuesday), and well examine how the weekend action affected those lines from the openers on the Don Best odds screen. Well also look at which lines were the first to be bet by the professional bettors in Vegas (traditionally, those are the bettors most likely to fire away on these openers, though its not the exclusive club that it used to be). LAS VEGAS - The marquee matchup of NFL Week 7 was expected to be the New England Patriots visiting the Pittsburgh Steelers, but the game was conspicuously off the betting board at the Westgate SuperBook on Sunday afternoon.QB Ben Roethlisberger was injured in Pittsburghs 30-15 loss at Miami in the early games on Sunday and it was later learned that he had a torn meniscus and would undergo surgery on Monday. The game stayed off the board until Monday morning, and with oddsmakers certain that Landry Jones would be starting for the Steelers, the line was posted with the Patriots favored by 7 or 7.5 points depending on the sports book. The Westgate went with New Englland -7. Brenton Bersin Jersey. 5 (EVEN) and it stayed there most of the day on Monday before being bet down to 7 late Monday afternoon.Its interesting to note that in the advance line at the Westgate last week, the game was set at pick em. After the Steelers loss (and before the full extent of Roethisbergers injury was learned, especially since he finished the game), CG Technology actually opened Pittsburgh -1 and early bettors took New England and bet the Patriots to -2.5 before it was taken off the board.Lets take a look at the Week 7 lines and how theyve been bet into place (lines in parentheses are from the Westgate SuperBook as of the kickoff of the Monday Night Football game):Thursday: Chicago at Green Bay (-9): The advance line at the Westgate last week was Green Bay -10.5, but after the Packers lost to the Cowboys, the Westgate adjusted the line down to 8.5 (the Bears also lost, but by just 1 point after closing as 2.5-point favorites, so that didnt affect the line as much). Most other books opened the Packers between -8.5 and -10 with CG Technology on the high end, and the line has settled in between at -9 or -9.5.

CINCINNATI, Ohio -- The Cincinnati Bengals have signed defensive end Carlos Dunlap to a five-year contract extension worth $40 million. josh hill stitched jersey . The Bengals announced the deal Tuesday. Dunlaps contract would have expired after this season, but it now runs through 2018. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, says Dunlap gets $20 million over the first two years in a deal with incentives. The 6-foot-6, 280-pound Dunlap is a fourth-year pro from Florida. He had 55 tackles and six sacks in 14 games last season. In a 20-13 victory over San Diego, he had two sacks and forced fumbles, and recovered one late in the game to preserve the victory. He was chosen AFC Defensive Player of the Week for that. He also had a 14-yard interception return for a touchdown against Baltimore. brandon coleman stitched jersey .2 billion agreement with Rogers Communications for the leagues broadcast and multimedia rights. marshon lattimore stitched jersey .ca.

The death of a legend is always a time of great sadness, but it should also be a time of great hope and inspiration. Millward was both a great player and a successful coach.If you have the chance, please spend some time and search for footage on the internet which shows just how good a player he was. He was fast, brave, skilful and evasive, but more than anything he was instinctive. He used his eyes and the creative part of his brain to attack his opponents. He set up and scored hundreds of tries by reacting to what was happening around him. The best tries are always the ones that you dont expect to see, and he scored many of those. I hope his legacy can be an inspiration to the next generation of midfield maestros. Phil Clarke on Roger Millward In my opinion, most fans pay to see creativity on a rugby field. They appreciate the brutal battle that takes place in the middle of the pitch, and they dont mind seeing a try from a pre-planned move now and again, but it is magic moments that they talk about on their way home, ones that are totally unrehearsed. These are what makes them return for the next game.I watched a great TED talk recently by Sir Ken Robinson. It posed the question Do schools kill creativity? - he looked at the path all educational systems have gone down over the past 100 years and identified that we have prioritised logical thinking over creativity. WATCH: Super League tries Phil Clarkes top 5 Super League tries from round 13 It is a bit the same in rugby league. The structured play of who stands where, runs into which hole in their opponents defensive line, passes behind which team-mate, its a bit like watching a driverless car.It just does not excite you even though I can see that it efficiently gets you from A to B, or over the tryline. If we are not careful we are in danger of ridding the game of creative thinking by simply focusing on having more attacking numbers than defending ones. As rugby league mourns the death of one of its greatest players, Sky Sports remembers Millwards career in this fascinating interview with Brian Carney Its logical but it doesnt fire the part of the brain that makes you smile or get up out of your seat. a.j. klein stitched jersey. There is a bigger danger that the shift away from an autonomous thinking in attack will become boring - if it hasnt already. Worse still, we are in danger of damaging young players by encouraging them to copy this style of play.Not all coaches are guilty of it but I worry that we are stifling the talents of more players by getting them to play like robots. The obsession with completion rates discourages players from taking a risk. We need to radically alter that thinking and encourage players not to worry about being wrong and losing the ball, mistakes will happen. Millward lifted the Challenge Cup with Hull KR in 1980 after beating Hull FC 10-5 in the final It seems to me that coaches need to feed the imagination of their players, not just provide a template like a choreographer would do for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. Professional sport is about entertaining people and we need to remember that.Roger Millward epitomised the sort of play that I think is in danger of disappearing from the game. The best tries are always the ones that you dont expect to see, and he scored many of those. I hope his legacy can be an inspiration to the next generation of midfield maestros.

BOSTON -- Wins are a lot tougher to come by when you dont have a Vezina Trophy winner between the pipes. Tank Carradine Jersey .Thats the case for the Boston Bruins right now.Bostons No. 1 goalie,?Tuukka Rask, is listed as day-to-day with an undisclosed injury that he suffered in a 2-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils last Thursday in the Bruins home opener. Its the first time in his career that Rask has suffered any type of serious injury, and his status remains uncertain. Backup Anton Khudobin was felled by an upper-body injury during Mondays practice and will be sidelined at least three weeks.With both goalies hurt, the Bruins are in a bind. Coach Claude Julien had no choice other than to go with inexperience in goal against the?Minnesota Wild?on Tuesday and it resulted in a 5-0 loss to the Wild at TD Garden. Rookies?Malcolm Subban and Zane McIntyre?both played.To be fair: Bostons goaltending wasnt the only reason for the blowout loss. The Bruins had too many defensive breakdowns and zero offensive punch. Thats not a recipe for success. It shouldnt matter which goalie is playing, captain Zdeno Chara?said.Injuries are a part of the game, but we should really respect the way we play and what we want to accomplish and how we want to play, Chara said. If were not going to do that, it doesnt really matter who is in net. Its really up to us as players to make sure we play in the right way on the right side of the puck. If we do that, were going to make the game much better for us.The Bruins cant afford to fall too far behind in the standings this early in the season. So what will Boston general manager?Don Sweeney do if Rask is sidelined long-term? After Tuesdays loss, Julien said he did not have an update on the 29-year-old veteran. Both Subban and McIntyre were preparing to travel with the team to New York to face the Rangers on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.Subbans only previous NHL experience was a start in St. Louis on Feb. 20, 2015, when he allowed three goals on six shots before he was pulled after 31:15 of ice time in a 5-1 loss. On Tuesday, in his second NHL game, he allowed three goals on 16 shots before he was pulled after 26:31 of ice time and replaced by McIntyre, who had been called up from Providence earlier in the day.Yeah, it sucks, Subban said. Obviously, Im just trying to finish the game, let alone win one. It sucks, but what can you do now, right?Subban, 22, hasnt been the same since he suffered a fractured larynx during a minor league game last February. The injury ended his season with Providence. Before being struck in the throat by a puck in Portland, Maine, Subban had won 9 of 11 games and allowed only 21 goals during that span. Overall, he was 14-8-5 with a .911 save percentage in 27 games for Providence during 2015-16.At the time of his recall on Monday, he was 0-3-1 with a 4.50 goals-against average in four games for the Bruins AHL affiliate this season.The road has always seemed blocked for Subban, who was a first-round selection (No. 24 overall) in 2012 by the Bruins. It doesnt help his cause that Rask is the No. 1 goalie in Boston and is in the fourth year of an eight-year contract worth $56 million.I want to be a No. 1 goaltender in the league. I was a high pick for a reason. I have the potential, I just have to show it, Subban said. I havent done that so far yet, but I think Im getting closer to it. I think I can do it right now and obviously I didnt do it [Tuesday], but tomorrows a new day.While Subban was having success statistically in the AHL -- having a winning record in each of his three full seasons in Providence -- some hockey personnel wondered if his game would translate to the next level. Some question his consistency.I dont like the structure of his game, one Eastern Conference evaluator said. He seems like a guy who could fall apart when hes not on his game.From a defensive standpoint, Subban got little help. With the exception of?Brandon Carlo,?Bostons defensemen have struggled. Will McIntyre fare any better? The Bruins are about to find out. He will make his first NHL start on Wednesday.With Rask in net, the Bruins know theyre getting a calm, reliable performance. Without its No. 1, it looks like Boston is in for a struggle. Daniel Kilgore Jersey .J.

LOUIS -- Roman Polak was celebrating even before Alexander Steen scored the winning goal in Saturdays 4-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. CONCORD, N.C. --?Alex Bowman doesnt know what 2017 has in store for him.With no solid Sprint Cup rides available -- and most of the top rides open in developmental series in need of serious sponsorship dollars -- the best Bowman might be able to hope for is to be top-of-mind when a team needs a substitute driver.If thats the case, he can thank Dale Earnhardt Jr., who recommended to Hendrick Motorsports that Bowman replace him while he recovers from a concussion. At first it was just to be a relief driver if Earnhardt needed one in July at New Hampshire, but it turned into a role where Bowman will compete in 10 races this year for Hendrick Motorsports.Bowman has one top-10 finish, and he posted his best qualifying effort Thursday, as he will start from the front row beside pole sitter Kevin Harvick. He hopes more top-10s and qualifying runs such as what he had Thursday will make a difference for his future.The Showman Bowman was fast tonight. Great job @AlexBRacing and @AxaltaRacing gang. P2 @CLTMotorSpdwy- Dale Earnhardt Jr. (@DaleJr) October 7, 2016The 23-year-old Bowman has 75 career Cup starts but mostly for underfunded teams. He had a handful of Xfinity races for JR Motorsports coming into 2016 and spent most of his time working for Chevrolet as a driver in its simulator before the call from Hendrick.We all hope that nobody needs a substitute driver, Bowman said. Its obviously a situation that nobody wants to have come up, and I dont want to sit here and say I want to take advantage of that.But it doesnt hurt my feelings if that does come up, that Im the guy that gets called.In a perfect world, Bowman said he would love to run a fourth Xfinity car for JR Motorsports next year, but unfortunately the chips didnt line up in my favor, so I dont really know whats going on.Bowman said he has tried not to think as much about the future as much to relish the opportunity.These ... races left that we have may be the rest of my Cup career, Bowman said. You never really know what the future holds. Not having anything set in stone, the one thing I said I was going to do throughout all these races was to make the most of it and to have thee most fun I possibly could. Malcolm Smith Jersey. Im not going to let the pressure kill me.In four races in the No. 88 car, Bowman hasnt done anything to hurt his reputation.Hes finished all the races, most all of them, that hes running, Harvick said. I think thats probably the biggest goal. But hes had speed everywhere hes gone and hes done a good job.But with Hendrick having signed William Byron as a development driver to be in a JR Motrosports Xfinity Series car full time in 2017, the reality for Bowman is that he isnt necessarily in the pipeline for a Hendrick ride.Hes their development guy, Bowman said. I would like to think that hopefully Im that [next] guy, but well just kind of have to wait and see. You never know what is going to happen in the next couple of years and who is going to decide to do what.For now, hell settle for that amazing feeling of driving some of the top equipment in the Sprint Cup garage. He goes to the track with a chance to run well if not win.If youre in one of the back 10 cars, youre not really almost even looked at as a race car driver sometimes, Bowman said, until you do something that youre not supposed to do. .... Nobody on the Cup side really knew who I was until I [nearly] out-qualified Dale Jr. at Richmond two years ago and he gave me a shot in his Xfinity car.I did something I wasnt supposed to do in the car that I was driving -- it opened one persons eye.Hendrick Motorsports announced four weeks ago the schedule for the rest of the season, enabling Bowman to prepare more for races.It also allowed him to get more entrenched in Hendrick, where he is splitting time with four-time Sprint Cup champion Jeff Gordon in the No. 88 car and working alongside drivers he has looked up to for much of his racing career.I get to work with basically all my childhood heroes between Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson and Kasey Kahne, Bowman said. I dont think [20-year-old] Chase Elliott was born when I had my childhood heroes, but hes my hero now.Its been amazing to get to work with all of them.

According to a report from the Vancouver Province, the Lions are expected to replace former DC Rich Stubler with defensive backs coach Mark Washington. DENVER -- The rampaging Chicago Cubs begin a nine-game, 10-day road trip with three against the Colorado Rockies beginning Friday.Chicago, which is coming off a four-game sweep of Milwaukee, has won 18 of its past 21 games. The Cubs (77-43, 32-24 on the road) are 34 games above .500 for the first time since Sept. 27, 2008, when they were 97-63 on the next-to-last-day of the season.Kyle Hendricks, who is 11-7 with a 2.19 ERA -- the third-lowest ERA in the majors, has allowed three or fewer runs in each of his past 15 starts for Chicago, dating to May 22. In his last start Saturday against St. Louis, Hendricks allowed two runs and five hits in seven innings with no walks and 12 strikeouts but wasnt involved in the decision as the Cubs lost 8-4.Hendricks is 3-6 with a 3.43 in 10 road starts this season. The Rockies handed Hendricks his only loss in 13 games (12 starts) at Wrigley Field this season April 15 when he allowed four runs (two earned) and seven hits in six innings of Colorados 6-1 victory. In two starts at Coors Field -- both Chicago victories -- Hendricks is 1-0 with a 4.38 ERA.Left-hander Tyler Anderson, who makes his first career start against the Cubs, is 4-4 with a 3.42 ERA -- the lowest ERA for a Rockies starter through his first 12 starts in franchise history.In his last start Saturday in Philadelphia, Anderson was ejected by home plate umpire Eric Cooper for hitting Maikel Franco with a pitch to begin the fourth inning. That outing ended a streak of eight straight starts in which Anderson had pitched at least six innings.In eight starts at Coors Field, Anderson is 4-1 with a 3.04 ERA. Because the Rockies were off Thursday, Anderson will pitch with five days of rest.Charlie Blackmon and DJ LeMahieu, the first and second hitters in Colorados lineup, have been on offensive tears lately.Blackmon has a 12-game hitting streak, during which he is batting .481 in 54 at-bats with five doubles, one triple, nine homers, 15 RBI, a 1.111 slugging percentage and a 1.637 OPS. During his streak, Blackmon raised his average 23 points to .322.. bart starr stitched jersey. eMahieu, who began his career in the Cubs organization and played 37 games for them in 2011, had hits in eight straight at-bats and reached base in 10 consecutive plate appearances before both streaks ended on his second at-bat Wednesday. He has hit safely in 14 of 16 games this month, going .483 in 60 at-bats with two doubles, one triple, three homers, nine RBI, a .483 on-base percentage and a 1.281 OPS. During the month, LeMahieu has raised his average 23 points to .343, one point behind National League leader Daniel Murphy of Washington.Blackmon and LeMahieu have helped the Rockies weather the losses of Trevor Story, who last played July 30, and Mark Reynolds, who last played Aug. 11, to season-ending injuries. Also, Carlos Gonzalez has started only five of the past 14 games because of an ankle sprain Aug. 3 that he later re-aggravated.Both guys have really upped their game, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said of Blackmon and LeMahieu. Both are getting on base at a really high rate. Theyre a big reason why our offense has performed better even with some key pieces out. Even on the road where weve struggled historically, its performing and (that) has a lot to do with those two guys.In Chicagos 9-6 victory Thursday against Milwaukee, Kris Bryant went 5-for-5 with a double, two homers and five RBI. Hes hitting .296 with 30 homers, 78 RBI and a .956 OPS. With his second five-hit game of the season, Bryant tied Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado for the National League lead in home runs.Anthony Rizzo, who went 2-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI on Thursday, is hitting .291 with 25 homers, 86 RBI and a .956 OPS. With six weeks remaining in the regular season, Rizzo and Bryant along with Murphy are the leading contenders for the NL Most Valuable Player Award.Weve obviously put ourselves in a good position to have that chatter, Rizzo said. But weve still got to go out and play every day and do what we do.

NEW YORK -- Bartolo Colon and Max Scherzer are headed to the All-Star Game, picked as replacements for other pitchers originally selected to the National League team. Desmond Trufant Jersey .Major League Baseball also announced Friday that Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Michael Saunders and San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt won the final two All-Star roster spots, elected by fans in online balloting.This is a proud moment for me and my family, Saunders said. Everyone knows that Canada takes care of their own. Im Canadian through and through. Just to feel that support, the best way I can describe, everyones been asking me, is I feel loved by this country. To see the support they gave me is very humbling.Saunders joins the American League team, while Belt gets a slot on the NL squad.Extremely excited, obviously. Its hard to put into words, Belt said. I just cant believe that Im an All-Star this year. Its pretty cool, especially when you step back and think about how many fans voted and how many times they voted, how many messages that I got of how their thumbs were numb. Its pretty overwhelming to think about.The 43-year-old Colon was chosen to replace Madison Bumgarner in Tuesdays showcase in San Diego because the Giants ace is scheduled to pitch Sunday against Arizona.A fan favorite with the New York Mets, Colon is 7-4 with a 3.28 ERA. He was picked by his own manager -- Terry Collins of the Mets will lead the NL team.It means a lot, especially for someone my age, Colon said through a translator. It surprised me a lot.In one of the most stunning and charming moments of the season, Colon homered in San Diego in early May, becoming the oldest player to hit his first major league home run.The hefty right-hander said the All-Star nod was very meaningful to him because hes in the final stages of his career. He said hed like to pitch one more season in the majors if healthy.When I asked him if he wanted to go the All-Star Game, he said yes. He didnt say, hey, I need to rest, Im 43 years old. Im shot. He said, `Thank you, Id like to go. So hes going to go, Collins said, drawing laughs.Scherzer will substitute for Washington Nationals teammate Stephen Strasburg, who came off the disabled list this week and wont pitch in the All-Star Game as a precaution. Strasburg, who is from San Diego, plans to attend the game, the Nationals said.Max was excited. Never seen a veteran guy as elated as he, to be a part of the All-Star Game, Washington manager Dusty Baker said. I think hes a good representative to show people what a privilege and an honor it is to go.Strasburg started Friday night against the New York Mets, his second outing since coming off the DL. He returned from an upper back strain Sunday against Cincinnati.Because of Stephens injury that he just came off of, being on three days rest, it would have cost him time again with us, Baker said. So Im just glad that hes going, especially in his hometown. But theres a lot of risk for Stephen since he just came off the DL and you dont know how hes going to come through this game tonight. So everybody decided itd be better that he doesnt start or pitch.---AP freelance writers Ian Harrison in Toronto and Mike Wagaman in San Francisco contributed to this report. Brian Poole Jersey .

All of the scoring came in the final 20:04. Lucic scored on a power play at 15:46 of the third period, when he tipped a shot over Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen for a 3-1 lead. STILLWATER, Okla. -- Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury never really considered going for a 2-point conversion and the victory, feeling confident his team could prevail in overtime.The game never got that far.Clayton Hatfield missed the extra point after Quinton Whites 1-yard scoring run with 1:39 left, and No. 17 Oklahoma State escaped with a 45-44 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday.We had the momentum, Kingsbury said. I liked what we were doing offensively, I liked what we were doing defensively, so I felt great about going to overtime. Our team handled it the last time very well, so that was the plan.Texas Tech (4-6, 2-5 Big 12) appeared to have overcome a 10-point fourth quarter deficit when White spun into the end zone on third-and-goal from the 1, but Hatfields kick sailed wide right, leaving the Red Raiders down by one.I thought they would go for two, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said. If you look at it from his point of view, 2-point conversions are about 33 percent effective. But it would not have surprised me.After Oklahoma State (8-2, 6-1, No. 13 CFP) recovered the onside kick attempt, the Cowboys marched quickly into the red zone, and resisted Techs attempts to let them score before running out the clock.It hurts, it definitely hurts, said Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the nations leading passer, who completed 34 of 51 passes for 344 yards and three touchdowns. We had a lot of chances to win, but they found a way to win, we didnt. Its kind of like the whole season. It hurts, but were going to go out there and fight. Weve got two games to get bowl eligible.Mahomes also rushed for two touchdowns, giving him 12 and setting a new Texas Tech single-season record for a quarterback, surpassing the previous mark of 10 set by Rodney Allison in 1976.For Oklahoma State, Mason Rudolph threw for 395 yards and two touchdowns on 20-of-28 passing, and also rushed for a touchdown, and Justice Hill had 126 yards and a touchdown on 18 rushes. James Washington registered six receptions for 158 yards, including an 82-yard TD with 6 seconds left in the third quarter that put the Cowboys ahead 45-35. Derrick Coleman Jersey. TAKEAWAYTexas Tech: The Red Raiders can run the ball pretty well when they have to or are invited to, and Demarcus Felton needs to get the ball more. Even though he has the leading rusher this season, Felton got a total of one carry over the previous three games, but he came up with 77 yards on 10 rushes before leaving in the third quarter with an ankle injury, the severity of which was unknown. If hes healthy, hes proven he deserves a bigger role in the offense. He did a good job, Kingsbury said. When youre playing those light boxes, he does a good job finding space.Oklahoma State: The Cowboys kept their hopes of a Big 12 championship alive. They need to win next week against TCU to set up a showdown with No. 9 Oklahoma on Dec. 3 for the conference title. Oklahoma State won for the fourth time this season with a margin of seven points or less.PLAY OF THE GAMETexas Tech had just pulled to 38-35 on Mahomes 7-yard touchdown run with 24 seconds left in the third quarter when Rudolph hurled up a deep pass to Washington on the first play of the next possession. Washington caught the ball at the 50 and raced the rest of the way into the end zone for an 82-yard touchdown, restoring a 10-point lead with 6 seconds left in the third.LAST WORDNo fear, no frustration and no fatigue is what we talk about, Gundy said of his teams ability to win close games. I think there is some truth to them believing in themselves makes a big difference. When you start to win over a period of years, you feel like youre going to win. Your mind is much more powerful than the physical part of your body and we believe in that, so they just play hard and Im proud of them.UP NEXTTexas Tech will next face Iowa State on the road.Oklahoma State continues its quest for a Big 12 title by traveling to Fort Worth to take on TCU.

PITTSBURGH -- Steelers guard Ramon Foster?was fined $9,115 for retaliating against a Giants defender in defense of Pittsburgh running back LeVeon Bell after a questionable play, according to teammates. Rodney McLeod Jersey .?With about two minutes left in the Steelers 24-14 win last weekend, Giants linebacker Kelvin Sheppard appeared to reach under Bells facemask and pull backward during a gang tackle, twisting his neck.Foster tossed Sheppard out of the pile in disgust, prompting a mini-skirmish between the teams.Foster was a central figure in the showdown. He wasnt in the locker room Thursday, but a few teammates say they are willing to help pay for the fine if he doesnt win on appeal.The NFL applies $9,115 fines for several categories, including striking/kicking/kneeling, late hits or unnecessarily entering a fighting area for a second offense.Bell, who believed Sheppard was trying to hurt him on the play, is grateful for a teammates helping hand.

The Atlanta Braves have reached an agreement with free-agent infielder Sean Rodriguez on a two-year deal worth more than $11 million, an MLB source confirmed to ESPNs Jerry Crasnick on Thursday.Fox Sports first reported the deal.In the past two seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Rodriguez, 31, averaged .260 with 22 home runs and 73 RBIs. He finished last season with 18 home runs, 56 RBIs and a .270 batting average, all of which were career highs.Pirates general manager Neal Huntington made it clear in late September that hed like to keep Rodriguez in Pittsburgh.

LOS ANGELES -- Justin Turner and the Dodgers arent thinking cruise control just yet. Jerry Rice Jersey .Rich Hill pitched six dominant innings in his first start with Los Angeles and Turner hit his 24th homer, lifting the Dodgers over the San Francisco Giants 1-0 on Wednesday night.Los Angeles has a three-game lead over the Giants atop the NL West after winning in back-to-back nights facing Madison Bumgarner and Johnny Cueto.Turner homered in the fourth for the first hit against Cueto. Turner has 20 homers since June 10.Its time to put our foot on the pedal and get some separation, Turner said.Hill (1-0) was on the disabled list with a blister on his left middle finger when the Dodgers acquired him from the Oakland Athletics on Aug. 1 along with outfielder Josh Reddick. He allowed five hits and struck out three while throwing 81 pitches in his first appearance since July 17.San Francisco has lost eight of 10. Cueto (14-4) allowed a run and four hits over six innings, and his lone mistake was the cutter he left over the plate to Turner.Its part of the game, Cueto said. You win 1-0, you lose 1-0. Theres nothing you can do. Its part of the game. You just have to keep on grinding and keep your head up.Kenley Jansen got his 37th save to complete the six-hitter. He reached 604 career strikeouts, tying Jim Brewer for most career strikeouts as a reliever in franchise history.Cueto had two wins in three previous starts against the Dodgers this season. Hes still looking for his second win in the second half of the season.With runners on the corners and two outs in the eighth, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts made a visit to the mound to talk with reliever Joe Blanton. He left Blanton in the game, and then Brandon Crawford flew out to the warning track in right to end the inning.Roberts threw his arms up in celebration. It was the second important decision he made in the game -- the first was taking Hill out after six shutout innings -- and both worked.I wanted to go out there and look in (Blantons) eyes and check on him and see how he felt, Roberts said. He took a lot of energy with those first four hitters, but as I went out there, I just knew he had to stay in the game. Its just the confidence I have in Joe Blanton.Said Crawford: I thought I might have had enough. It got in on me a little bit, so I didnt square it up quite as well as I would have wanted to. I was hoping it might have been enough, but obviously it wasnt.The 31-year-old Turner had 31 career home runs entering this season. He hit 16 in 2015, but before that, hed never hit more than seven in a season. Turner also singled Wednesday.The Giants Angel Pagan had his hitting streak end at 19 games. Los Angeles Adrian Gonzalez singled in the fourth to extend his hitting streak to 17 games.TRAINERS ROOMDodgers: Andre Ethier (broken right tibia) took batting practice and was with the team for the day. Hes looking to return in mid-September. ... Alex Wood (elbow impingement) threw on flat ground. ... Brandon McCarthy (right hip) threw a bullpen session. ... Chase Utley (left foot) came out of the game and was listed as day to day.RYU EYEING POSSIBLE RETURNHyun-Jin Ryu, who has been out the entire season after undergoing left shoulder surgery, is expected to begin a throwing program in a couple of days. The Dodgers have missed Ryu and Clayton Kershaw in the rotation.Hes about ready to pick up a baseball, Roberts said of Ryu. Obviously we dont know how much we can build him up, but its encouraging that Ryu wants to get back in in any capacity he can.UP NEXTDodgers: RHP Ross Stripling (3-4, 4.04 ERA) had his only appearance against the Giants come in his MLB debut earlier this season, a game in which he threw 7 1/3 hitless innings before being removed after 100 pitches.Giants: LHP Matt Moore (7-10, 4.18) is looking for his first win with San Francisco since coming over from the Tampa Bay Rays on Aug. 1. He is 0-3 with a 4.70 ERA in four starts for his new club. 49ers Jerseys China Cheap . Sgt.

The victory improved the Czech pairs impressive cup doubles record to 14-1. FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Dusty Hannahs hasnt experienced all that many shooting slumps in his life, but the Arkansas guard might just have found the answer to his early season shooting struggles by not starting.For a second straight game, the Razorbacks sharp-shooter came off the bench on Tuesday night -- scoring 17 points in 17 minutes as Arkansas (7-1) rallied from a halftime deficit for an 84-72 win over Houston.Hannahs was 6 of 11 from the field and has now hit 5 of 10 3-pointers in his last two games, coming after he was held without a 3-pointer in the two games before that. After leading Arkansas in scoring last season, the senior is now embracing whatever role Razorbacks coach Mike Anderson gives him.I just tried to stop thinking about (missing shots), even though it was impossible to stop thinking about it because I was just watching so many misses happen, Hannahs said. ... I was relaxed the last game and relaxed this game, and I think its smooth sailing from here on, hopefully.Hannahs had plenty of help as Arkansas won its fourth straight game, with first-year junior Daryl Macon adding 17 points on 5-of-9 shooting. Moses Kingsley added 14 points and eight rebounds, while Dustin Thomas finished with 11 points as the Razorbacks shot 59.3 percent (16 of 27) in the second half after trailing 35-34 at halftime.But it was Hannahs who provided the biggest spark, particularly in the first half when he scored 10 points in nine minutes.Look how efficient he is, Anderson said. ... I think the key is getting playing time. Like I said, hes still a starter in my mind.Rob Gray scored 22 points to lead the Cougars (6-2), whose two losses this season have both come on the road against Southeastern Conference opponents. Damyean Dotson had 15 points and 10 rebounds, while Galen Robinson had 14 points and Wes Vanbeck scored 10.Arkansas entered having won seven of its last eight games against its former Southwest Conference rival Cougars, who were making their first visit to Fayetteville since 1991.The two teeams also came in averaging more than 84 points per game, though Houston struggled early while falling behind by as many as 14 points in the first half. Matt Breida Jersey. The Cougars rallied, however, to take a 35-34 halftime lead -- with 32 of those points coming from the backcourt quartet of Dotson, Robinson, Gray and Vanbeck.The four finished with a combined 61 points, but it wasnt enough to overcome Arkansas hot second-half shooting.We still had a lead in the second half, Houston coach Kelvin Sampson said. ... This is a game we could have won, but youve got to play a little bit better defense and get a little more production out of our bigs in a game like this.BIG PICTUREHouston: The Cougars had the guards to run with the Razorbacks, but they had no answers off their bench -- which was outscored 34-14. Houston entered averaging 85.1 points, but it shot only 40 percent (14 of 35) in the second half.Arkansas: The Razorbacks failed in their first true test of the season, falling 87-71 at Minnesota on Nov. 22. On Tuesday, they played like the team coach Mike Anderson had in mind when he signed guards Macon and Jaylen Barford from junior college -- with an eye on immediately turning around following a 16-16 season. While Barford struggled with only two points, Macon was in control throughout, a positive sign for a team intent on returning to the NCAA Tournament after missing it last season.MISSING DAVISDevin Davis, averaging 12.7 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, played only three minutes for Houston and was scoreless after cutting two fingers on his right hand early in the game. The 6-foot-7 junior needed six stitches to stop the bleeding, and Sampson was forced to play a smaller lineup without him.UP NEXTHouston begins a four-game stretch at home by hosting Rhode Island on Saturday.The Razorbacks wrap up five straight games at home when they host North Florida on Saturday.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Kelvin Beachum Jersey . -- Minnesota Vikings punt returner Marcus Sherels will not play against the Washington Redskins on Sunday because of an ankle injury.The Vikings say defensive tackle Linval Joseph is questionable with an injured shoulder, as is receiver Laquon Treadwell with a hamstring strain, and cornerback Captain Munnerlyn with an injured ankle.Joseph and Munnerlyn were both able to practice on a limited basis on Friday. Joseph told reporters at the team headquarters that he believes he will be able to play, a promising sign for a team that has lost three straight after a 5-0 start.But Treadwell was not able to practice on Friday, which is usually an ominous sign for a players availability for the game that week.

Making his first appearance since injuring his wrist a month ago, Del Potro had difficulty with his service games in the first set. Cronulla have released NRL Grand Final hero Ben Barba after reports emerged the fullback had tested positive to cocaine use just days after the Sharks maiden premiership win.The fullback is facing a 12-week ban from rugby league if found guilty of his second offence of the NRLs drugs policy.It has been reported that the 27-year-old fullback was tested days after scoring the opening try in the Sharks 14-12 grand final victory over the Storm in October.The 2012 Dally M Medal winner is expected to travel to Thailand for treatment.The incident is the latest in a long line of off-field issues for Barba.Former club Canterbury stood the fullback down in 2013 for behavioural issues that saw him admitted to a Sydney health clinic.A severe gambling problem and issues with alcohol threatened his NRL career before he joined Brisbane in 2014.With his form flagging, he moved to the Sharks for a chance to resurrect his life but the latest indiscretion could end his NRL career.The full Sharks statement reads as follows:Cronulla Sharks Club StatementThe Club wishes to advise that it has agreed to provide Ben Barba an immediate release from his playing contract in order for him to address some significant personal issues.While this decision has not been easy for either party there is full agreement that it is one made in the best interests of Ben, his young family and our Club.Consistent with our Clubs major focus on the welfare of its players, the Club is fully supportive of this decision and will assist in any way possible to allow Ben the time needed to address his life away from the pressure environment of professional sport.Although Ben has had a very successful season on the field culminating in being a major part of a winning Grand Final team, it is his life away from the field which he now seeks assistance with.Both the Club, Ben and his team mates hope that at some stage in the future he will be able to return to the game he loves but that is not the priority at the moment. Ben Ijalana Jersey. In leaving to attend an intensive overseas program last night following a recent positive drugs test, Ben said: I know and accept I need to take some time away from the game to deal with some personal issues.I am accountable for myself and my actions and if I dont address them now I will certainly ruin my career and more importantly my life and that of my family. As footballers we often find it hard to speak up about having problems, but this decision has lifted so much pressure off myself that I cannot start to explain just how much better I feel by taking this action.?I hope to return to the game at some stage and am very grateful for the support of the Cronulla Sharks and I hope that one day I can again play beside this terrific bunch of guys. I have made some tremendous friendships both within the playing ranks and throughout the coaching and administration teams. This has made it all the more difficult to make this decision but its something I just had to do. Club CEO Lyall Gorman saidThis is an incredibly difficult situation for Ben, his family and our Club and all involved with it. Ben has made a remarkable contribution to our Club and community since joining it. It is however something we believe and accept is absolutely necessary in order to assist Ben to work through the challenges at hand.While Ben will be a major loss to our football club, the far greater priority is for him to focus on his long term future away from football and we will continue to support Ben throughout that process in any way we can.As this is a very challenging time for Ben and his family, Ben would appreciate if they were allowed to work through this very private matter.

Katie Ledecky broke the 1,650-yard NCAA freestyle record by 20 seconds and her own American record by 10 seconds on Sunday, according to nbcsports. Charles Clay Jersey .com.At an Ohio State meet, the Stanford freshman traveled 66 lengths of the pool in 15:03.92. The runner-up finished in 16:04.25 and still needed to complete four full lengths of the pool when Ledecky completed her swim.Ledeckys time was so good that it could have placed third in the mens 1,650-yard freestyle, which came right after her event in Columbus. She also broke another NCAA record in that event with her 1,000-yard split time, a time she had set in her third college meet in early November.Ledeckys record swims came one day after she took her first loss in a freestyle final longer than 100 meters since 2014, as she lost to fellow U.S. Olympic champion Simone Manuel in the 200-yard freestyle by .26 of a second, according to nbcsports.com.After winning four gold medals at the Rio Olympics, Ledecky has since smashed NCAA records in three freestyle events (500, 1,000 and 1,650 yards) in her first four meets as a member of the Stanford swim team.At Rio in August, no one was more dominant than the 19-year-old Ledecky, whose four golds included two world record-shattering performances.She became the first woman since 1968 to win the 200, 400 and 800 free and joined Amy Van Dyken and Missy Franklin as the only American women to capture as many as four golds in a single Games.?

There was the pitter patter of panic-stricken feet as Indias innings began. Valtteri Filppula Jersey .It was understandable that Parthiv Patel would be a bit eager. But his shot went straight to the fielder at cover. Expecting a run from there betrayed that he was playing Test cricket for the first time in eight years. And so for a few seconds he looked like a wind-up toy; wandering forward and wobbling back.For the rest of the morning, he looked like a man with his captain and coachs backing along with the confidence of five 50-plus scores in his last six first-class matches.Parthivs contribution to Indias total may at first glance seem small - 42 runs off 85 balls, collected in typical fashion through drives both pretty and flash, and cuts and flicks often delicate and precise. There was nothing new to talk about - Gautam Gambhir had provided a talking point with his open stance - and nothing spectacular about Parthivs innings to warrant making space in the memory banks. He came, did his job, and might well disappear into the fabric of Indian cricket history. But he would be damned if he went without showing his value as a cricketer.Prior to the start of the Test, KL Rahul, the specialist opener, had injured his left forearm in the nets and the team did not have any back-ups. That may have meant shoving Cheteshwar Pujara up the order - as had happened on a seaming track in Colombo 2015 - but he has been in outstanding form at No. 3. The new man in the XI - Karun Nair - was a debutant and he has played in the middle order all his domestic career. Virat Kohli has never batted at the top before and Ajinkya Rahane might have preferred the comfort of his usual No. 5 position given his lack of runs in this series.That left Parthiv - the second-oldest player in the side - to keep wicket and then promptly come back to face James Anderson and company. He would have practiced for the position of No. 6 or 7 leading up to the match, but with one days notice he was asked to do something vastly different. It is because of this willingness to do a tough job that so many teams - six IPL franchises included - like him. Sure, that also indicates how often he hasnt been retained in the same set up, but theres always someone willing to make a bid for him. India went into Mohali with their sixth set of openers since the tour of Sri Lanka last year. Their bowlers had performed admirably, having lost the toss, to restrict England to 283 on a decent pitch. That was still runs on the board though, with the experts predicting batting to get more difficult with the passing of time. Parthiv, by lasting 26 overs, and playing as he usually does, proved to the rest of his team-mates - all of whom made their debuts after his last Test in August 2008 - that all was well. A man with his technique - impulsive on the drive and iffy on the pull - couldnt have prospered without making any adjustments if the surface had demons.He got off the mark with a neat clip to the square-leg boundary and extended his innings with a review. Chris Woakes thought he had Parthiv caught down the leg side. Marais Erasmus agreed and raised the finger. Parthiv called for DRS immediately and gestured to his hip as he strode down the pitch. Replays confirmed neither bat nor glove was involved and Kumar Dharmasena, in a simple slip of the tongue, instructed his partner to stay with your on-field decision.It appears jokes just follow Parthiv, and if they cant land him, they go after the next sucker. He couldnt avoid them forever though. In the 21st over, he lost grip of his bat as he fended at a short ball. Before he could reorient himself, his partner M Vijay had called for a single, and like any number of cartoon characters with their backsides on fire he ran his legs off. Anil Kumble was seen indulging in good-natured laughter. Last November, Parthiv was quite happy to troll himself, tweeting a picture of his food and tagging it even the dosa is taller than me. At the PCA stadium, India were taller because of him. Cheap Flyers Jerseys . -- The Magic have their first victory of the new year. Jakub Voracek Jersey .
