ST. T.Y. Hilton Jersey . LOUIS -- The mens soccer team at Washington University in St. Louis has been indefinitely suspended for what the university calls sexually explicit comments and other inappropriate behavior toward the womens soccer team.Members of the womens team alerted administrators Wednesday. The suspension of the mens program was announced Friday night.The university says in a statement that comments made toward members of the womens team in an online document from 2015 were degrading and sexually explicit.Provost Holden Thorp said in a statement that the allegations suggest an unacceptable culture. The university declined further comment.Three mens teams in the Ivy League have been involved in suspensions for similar behavior since November: Harvard University mens soccer, some members of Columbia Universitys wrestling team and Princeton Universitys mens swimming and diving team.

LONDON -- Britains independent police watchdog opened an investigation Monday into the death of a former Premier League soccer player who was shot with a stun gun by police.Dalian Atkinson, 48, went into cardiac arrest on the way to a hospital and died around 90 minutes after officers used a Taser on him, the West Midlands Ambulance Service said in a statement. Officers deployed stun guns after being called to an address in Telford, northwest of Birmingham, involving the safety of an individual, West Mercia Police said.He had some health issues that he was trying to get through and thats why his heart was weak, his nephew Fabian Atkinson said. When a Taser is deployed, as soon as a Taser is deployed, they need to automatically call an ambulance. How do they know the health of the guy or the girl that they are affecting?The case immediately touched off a debate about the use of Tasers in a country where police rarely carry guns.Black people were three times more likely to be involved in Taser incidents than whites from 2011 to 2015, according to Home Office statistics obtained by the BBC in a Freedom of Information request. Atkinson was black.The Independent Police Complaints Commission swiftly moved to take charge of the investigation into Atkinsons death.I would like to assure people that we have begun a full and thorough investigation into police contact with Dalian Atkinson prior to his death, including the level and type of force used, said the IPCCs deputy chair, Rachel Cerfontyne. Our investigation team have been securing and preserving relevant evidence, and identifying witnesses.Three of Atkinsons former clubbs -- Aston Villa, Ipswich and Sheffield Wednesday -- all paid respects in posts on their websites. Andrew Luck Jersey. Englands Football Association said it was saddened to hear of the passing of Atkinson, who represented Englands `B team.Atkinson scored 20 Premier League goals during his time at Villa from 1991-95. He also played for Ipswich, Wednesday and Manchester City in England, and had spells with Real Sociedad in Spain, Fenerbahce in Turkey and also in South Korea.Atkinson was most famous for a scoring a goal for Villa against Wimbledon in October 1992, when he ran from inside his own half, evaded a number of attempted challenges before chipping the ball over the goalkeeper and into the net. It was voted as goal of the season in the 1992-93 Premier League.Atkinson also scored in the 1994 League Cup final when Villa beat Manchester United 3-1.Aston Villa is saddened to hear of the death of our former striker Dalian Atkinson, the second-tier club said in a statement. Dalian undoubtedly provided real memorable moments during his time in claret and blue.Wednesday said Atkinson was widely regarded as one of the most exciting football talents to emerge during the mid-1980s to early 1990s.In an era when English players seldom played abroad, Atkinson scored 12 goals in 29 league games during one season with Real Sociedad, before returning to England to play for Villa. He scored 10 goals in 21 league games for Istanbul-based Fenerbahce after leaving Villa.---Steve Douglas reported from Manchester.

Just as Montreal was settling into the first full working week of a new year, the Impact announced the appointment of their new head coach. CANTON, Ohio -- An emotional and invigorating Hall of Fame weekend came to a grinding halt Sunday night when the Packers-Colts game was canceled because of poor field conditions.One day after Brett Favre led the eight-member class of 2016 into the hall, its president, David Baker announced the cancellation after discussing problems with the turf with both teams. He said it was a safety issue and that all fans would be fully refunded for ticket purchases, which will cost the hall several million dollars.This is a hard decision, but we know it is the right decision, Baker said. In some respects a hard decision because of the impact it has. This is an important game to the people in Canton.The NFL and NFL Players Association said in a statement: We are very disappointed for our fans, but player safety is our primary concern, and as a result, we could not play an NFL game on this field tonight.Baker noted that the field was new and had been approved when inspected after its first installation. But paint congealed at midfield and in the end zone, hardening those areas. Workers used a variety of equipment to smooth the artificial surface. Rubber pellets used in the turf came loose and were scattered in several spots and needed to be removed, as well.We know a lot of you came a long way, Baker told the crowd, which booed when his name was announced. Here at the Pro Football Hall of Fame, we have the greatest respect for players and for player safety. As a result of some painting on the field today, some questions arose.Team physicians also were consulted.We thought we would be able to remediate it by delaying the game for as much as an hour, Baker added. But in the end, if its remotely close to unsafe, we conferred with the league, we think the best thing to do is respect the safety of thhe players. Divock Origi Jersey. Its the only thing to do.I can tell you, I had a son who played in this league. If it happened with him on the field, I would have wanted someone to make the same decision.This was not the first cancellation of an NFL exhibition game -- the Hall of Game contest was not played in 2011 because of the lockout -- but it was the most high-profile preseason match to be called off.In 2001, a new artificial surface at Philadelphias Veterans Stadium was deemed too dangerous for the Eagles to play the Ravens.Both teams walked onto the field at 8 p.m., moments before the game would have kicked off, and the players saluted the crowd. When the halls class of 2016 was introduced the stands remained relatively full for that. But then many fans departed the stadium even though the halftime show featuring Lee Greenwood was held.Colts coach Chuck Pagano said he was disappointed but understood the cancellation. He was looking to find out about a lot of these young players.Packers coach Mike McCarthy saluted the many Packers fans who came to Canton to see Favre inducted into the hall.We really were looking forward to performing tonight, McCarthy said. You get tired of practicing against yourself and you get to play a real game.Many of the thousands of Packers fans in Canton returned Sunday to Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. They sat watching highlights of Favres speech and of Friday nights concert featuring Tim McGraw before they were told about the games cancellation.Also inducted were Tony Dungy, Marvin Harrison, Orlando Pace, Kevin Greene, Ken Stabler, Dick Stanfel and Ed DeBartolo Jr.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Cheap ' ' '
The Football Association has written to Andy Carroll and Slaven Bilic in relation to their comments following West Hams 2-2 draw at Leicester on Sunday. Jarrett Allen Jersey . The Hammers striker and his manager have until close of business on Thursday to reply to the FA which will consider whether the pairs comments questioned the integrity of match referee Jon Moss.Carroll felt the stoppage-time penalty given against him for a tackle on Jeff Schlupp - converted by Leonardo Ulloa to rescue a point for the Premier League leaders - was wrong. Carrolls tackle on Jeff Schlupp It was always going to happen [a penalty], he told Sky Sports Geoff Shreeves after the game.Its hard for the ref, but all game its been happening… then you see the one that was given against me, hes gone down before Ive even got him. Hes [Schlupp] took a touch, the refs looking to even it [the game] out. FA shouldnt punish Carroll Slaven Bilic believes Andy Carroll should not face FA action for comments made after Leicester draw Carroll had equalised from the penalty spot with six minutes to play when Moss - who had earlier sent off Leicester goalscorer Jamie Vardy for simulation - ruled Wes Morgan had dragged down Winston Reid following a corner.Aaron Cresswell quickly gave Hammers the lead which they held until Carroll was penalised five minutes into stoppage time.Vardy has been charged with improper conduct following his dismissal, while the FA is also investigating allegations Moss was verbally abused by Leicester officials after the game.

LOUIS -- Attorneys for the St. http://www.cheapnetsjerseyschina.com/ . Laudrup revealed Thursday he was notified of his dismissal in "the briefest of letters which gave no reasons why such hasty and final action was deemed necessary. DraftKings and FanDuel insist their decision to join forces will benefit players, but the daily fantasy community is concerned about the merger of its two largest operators and is especially fearful that the sites commission fees will increase.The companies announced the agreement to merge Friday morning. Both sites will continue to operate under their existing brands through the 2017 NFL season, and for now players should not expect to see significant changes until the deal is finalized. But players are worried fees will increase to a point where the game may become unbeatable down the road.DraftKings CEO Jason Robins, who will be the joint companys chief executive officer, said he has heard the players concerns, but doesnt believe the merger will have an impact on commission fees.The commission will absolutely not increase as a result of this merger, said Robins in a Friday call with ESPN. We always try to balance whats the right commission rate to make the games fun and exciting and make everyone feel like they have a chance to win and also to create a healthy profitable company. And those are the same objectives that will exist post-merger. Were not foolish enough to think that we can raise commission to a level that players will just accept.Al Zeidenfeld, a high-level daily fantasy player and contributor to ESPN, says he understands the sites need to raise revenue, but wants to see the commission fees structured differently.Id like to see the service fee or the rake be normalized by buy-in level, said Zeidenfeld, who won a million-dollar NFL tournament this season. Its tough to beat a game thats got 15 percent rake.Jason Green, an avid daily fantasy player, said an increase in commission fees is also his biggest concern, but knows the industry has gone through a tough stretch. If bumping up the costs is necessary for the businesses to be viable, hhe is willing to accept it. Jahlil Okafor Jersey. Its still just fun to have some skin in the game, Green said.Players were also wondering if there will be any additions or subtractions to the sites offerings and what would happen if the sites do ultimately combine into one site.I know some players are worried about what would happen about aspects of the sites that are not synergetic, mainly FanDuel not offering a number of sports like golf and MMA that DraftKings does offer, said Dan Back, a popular industry voice at community forum RotoGrinders.FanDuel CEO Nigel Eccles said he is exploring whether to broaden the number of sports the site offers, but for now he wants to take a long look at which aspects of each site are the best. For example, FanDuels football contests include a roster spot for kickers, while DraftKings include a flex position instead. Eccles says keeping both sites operational through the 2017 football season gives them time to decide.There are obviously nuances of the products, said Eccles, who will become the joint companys chairman of the board. Theres a number of people who love the kicker and a number of people who hate it. Theres a number of people that love the flex player and an equal number of people who hate it. What I hope we can do is really bring the best of both. Some areas we may want to have both options as we move forward toward a single platform.With entry limits a part of the state regulations, Back said combining the sites into one is another concern, specifically for high-volume players.There is no doubt that the higher-volume players who do this for a living would much prefer them to leave both sites open for business, as it gives them ability to get more money in play each week, day, Back said.

It has been nothing short of fantastic this offseason for fantasy hockey lovers who tend to thrive on change and how to assess the value of said change. Marshawn Lynch Jersey . Just some of the headlines are enough to tantalize: A top-five defenseman switching teams, a former No. 1 pick with a new home, several new No. 1 goaltenders and the return of a star winger from Russia.Aside from the impact of the NHL draft, which is more thoroughly covered in our look at Auston Matthews versus Patrik Laine, we have trades, free agency and the residual effects of the Stanley Cup playoffs to consider.There is always too much to highlight everything, but stay tuned and well keep you up to date as fall approaches and the 2016-17 fantasy hockey draft season nears.Forwards rising and fallingLogan Couture, C, San Jose Sharks (up 45 spots to No. 41): We had Couture among our top-40 forwards prior to the 2015-16 season with good reason. He had just come off a season with 27 goals, 67 points and a career high in shots on goal at the age of 25. His ice time had peaked at an average of more than 19 minutes per game in 2014-15, putting him in the company of the elite centermen of the NHL. But Couture broke his leg just a couple games into the season, missed a couple months and found himself on the third line for much of the remaining regular season.During 52 games in the regular season, Couture managed just 15 goals and 36 points. Only 21 of those points came at even strength. Then came the playoffs. On a line with Patrick Marleau and Joonas Donskoi, Couture helped propel the Sharks to the Stanley Cup finals with 10 goals and 30 points in only 24 games. His 19 even-strength points in the playoffs almost equaled his efforts during the regular season. We definitely saw the Couture who has been growing into a fantasy No. 2 centerman and should once again view him as such going into 2016-17.Taylor Hall, LW, New Jersey Devils (up 14 spots to No. 56): Three seasons together as linemates in the OHL and on the Canadian World Junior Championship team are separated by six years for Hall and Adam Henrique. But heres betting the magic these two managed together en route to two Memorial Cup championships with the Windsor Spitfires still has some spark. During their three seasons together in Windsor, Hall and Henrique combined for 211 goals and 253 assists in 359 games played during the regular season, and another 80 goals and 77 assists in 108 games played in the playoffs and Memorial Cup tournaments. That is a lot of on-ice celebrations for this duo. Six years cant erase the memory of almost 300 goals scored.Hall, for his part, turned in a disappointing point total for his first full 82-game campaign in the NHL at the age of 24 last season. But he was playing in a situation with plenty of cooks in the kitchen, not the least of which was Connor McDavid. In New Jersey, Hall will be the unquestioned focal point of an offense that finished dead last in the NHL for scoring last season. If you define the sky as 30 goals and 80 points, then the sky is the limit for Hall this season.Loui Eriksson, LW, Vancouver Canucks (up 21 spots to No. 104): There is little doubt the plan for Eriksson will be to try to harness the connection he has had in the past with the Sedin twins on the Swedish national team. The trio last played together while closing out a gold medal at the 2013 World Championship -- combining for 22 points in the final four games as the Swedes captured the gold medal. Playing largely a bottom-six role for the Boston Bruins during his three-year tenure with the club, the Canucks will be looking to see if a 31-year-old Eriksson can return to his top-line scoring ways from his time with the Dallas Stars from 2008-09 to 2012-13. Bumping his ice time back up closer to 20 minutes per game with some time on the power play would go a long way; Eriksson had some fantasy-irrelevant seasons with the Bruins while playing minimal minutes. When the team used him a little more on offense last season, he returned to the 30-goal threshold, with 10 power-play tallies. Playing with the Sedins -- even out of their prime -- should help push Eriksson back toward that threshold again.Jonathan Drouin, C, Tampa Bay Lightning (up 102 spots to No. 110): Forget all the drama last season with Drouin being demoted and demanding a trade. With Steven Stamkos sidelined, this guy showed up in the playoffs when the Lightning needed him most. Playing mostly with Valtteri Filppula and Ondrej Palat, Drouin poured in an impressive 14 points in 17 postseason games. With Stamkos back on board and singing Drouins praises, the big things we projected for Drouin last season have all been shuffled forward to the 2016-17 season.P.A. Parenteau, RW, New York Islanders (up 58 spots to No. 127): Who are we to question Parenteaus decision to return to the scene of his glory? After some pretty good -- and some pretty bad -- seasons away from the Islanders, Parenteau is returning to the team where he posted 38 goals and 120 points in two years as John Tavares winger. That average is 19 goals and 60 points, which is pretty close to the 22 goals and 64 points that Kyle Okposo posted as Tavares winger last season. Its not a huge leap to suggest that Parenteau will get every opportunity to play with Tavares again and, if that is the case, hes in the mix to be a top-100 fantasy skater.Alexander Radulov, RW, Montreal Canadiens (enters ranks at No. 128): Say what you will about Radulov and his polarizing ride in the NHL, to the KHL, back to the NHL, then to the KHL and now back to the NHL -- but hes still one of the best hockey players in the world. He has been the face of the KHL since his first departure from the Nashville Predators in 2008, scoring better than a point per game throughout his career there. In his brief return to the Predators at the end of the 2011-12 season, he managed 13 points in 17 games coming in cold. When all the best hockey players in the world last got together to compete at the 2014 Olympics, Radulov finished tied for fifth in scoring while playing one fewer game than the four players who got more points. If we buy into his maturation from the off-ice issues that dogged him before, as the Canadiens have done, you are left with one a dynamic winger. Then again, he wouldnt be the first player to say all the right things off the ice but have the same old attitude issues hamstring his performance on the ice. Theres going to be a risk in selecting Radulov in your fantasy hockey drafts, but it is going to come with a high reward. If an injury opens up another spot on the Russian team at the World Cup of Hockey, wed love to get a sneak peak at Radulov there. A good showing would move him very quickly up draft boards.Leon Draisaitl, C, Edmonton Oilers (up 34 spots to No. 140): If Draisaitl cant escape the comparisons to a young Anze Kopitar, the Oilers might as well embrace it. And theres no better way to embrace it than by signing on Kopitars linemate from last season. Rugged winger Milan Lucic will join the Oilers and, while Lucic generates his own fantasy value in almost any situation, the key here is that he makes his linemates better with his tenacious puck control and aggressive style. We are spitballing by placing him with Draisaitl on a line, considering this roster is so flexible with talent, but the matchup seems like a pair made in fantasy hockey heaven. The bottom line here is that Lucic is going to help create space for some of the young, talented Oilers. Draisaitl is our poster boy for now, but it could be any of Connor McDavid, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Jordan Eberle, Jesse Puljujarvi or even Nail Yakupov that gets the Lucic bump.Frans Nielsen, C, Detroit Red Wings (up 54 spots to No. 159): Gustav Nyquist and Tomas Tatar were both fantasy letdowns last season after tantalizing in 2014-15. No offense to the great play of Riley Sheahan, but the Wings lacked a true No. 2 centerman. Pavel Datsyuk missed a good chunk of games and Henrik Zetterberg was off and on the wing. In fact, Luke Glendening led the Red Wings in faceoffs last season. Nielsen has been the ultimate No. 2 behind John Tavares for a couple of seasons now, posting consistently respectable seasons as a secondary playmaker. Under the right circumstances, we like Nielsen to fit in nicely with Nyquist and Tatar on the second line and his power-play experience could mean minutes on the Red Wings first unit.Defensemen rising and fallingP.K. Subban, D, Nashville Predators (up five spots to No. 15): If two NHL teams want to swap franchise defensemen and put the younger of the two with the younger, more dynamic defensive core, far be it from us to stop them. Subban is Subban. We all know hes a top-five fantasy defenseman that loves to control the puck and is a no-brainer in the first two rounds of your draft. But we cant help but like Subban just a bit more as he swaps the aging Andrei Markov as his defense partner for Roman Josi, who has quietly been better than Shea Weber for two seasons.Keith Yandle, D, Florida Panthers (up 49 spots to No. 80): The New York Rangers never really used Yandle to his potential as one of the best offensive defensemen in the NHL. The Panthers and Yandle will get to hit the reset button on the past year and a half of his career. Yandle only fired 160 shots last season with the Rangers, his lowest per-game total since 2009-10. If not on even strength, the Panthers will surely deploy Yandle with up-and-coming defenseman Aaron Ekblad on the power play. Look for Yandle to return to his 200-shot, 50-point ways of the past, which puts him squarely in conversation as a low-end No. 1 fantasy defenseman.Adam Larsson, D, Edmonton Oilers (enters ranks at No. 234): Its modest and wouldnt likely be worth our attention on any other team, but there is still some potential for offensive returns from Larsson. Hes spent the five years of his NHL career honing his defensive game with the Devils, but Larsson does boast a breakout pass and the ability to control the puck with purpose in the offensive zone. Slap him on an Oilers squad chock-full of some of the best 5-on-4 raw talent in the NHL and there is a chance he power plays his way into fantasy relevance this season.Goaltenders rising and fallingMartin Jones, G, San Jose Sharks (up 12 spots to No. 36): His first regular season as a bona fide No. 1 with the Sharks was very good. Jones first playoffs as a starter was phenomenal. The 26-year-old finished inside the top-10 on the ESPN Player Rater for goaltenders, making him a true No. 1 fantasy netminder. In the playoffs, he posted ratios just a hair behind those of Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray through 24 games, and propelled the Sharks to the Stanley Cup finals. His confidence should be at an all-time high for a Sharks team that will return a little bit wiser for at least one more run with their veterans.Brian Elliott, G, Calgary Flames (up 45 spots to No. 58): Consistently boasting one of the best goals-against average and save percentage in the NHL despite being a part-time starter, Elliott will get the crease all to himself for the up-and-coming Flames team. Its fitting because the Flames allowed the most goals in the NHL last season. The offense is coming into its own led by young stars such as Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan, while the defense -- even without Kris Russell -- remains one of the best top-four groups in the NHL. Elliott has twice led the NHL in save percentage and has a huge opportunity to show he can do it on more than a part-time basis.Frederik Andersen, G, Toronto Maple Leafs (up 20 spots to No. 119): For what its worth, Mike Babcock-coached teams, including last seasons Maple Leafs, have been in the top half of the league for the NHLs SAT% statistic (or Corsi for percentage) for the past six seasons. There is a reason he was such a sought-after commodity as a head coach. For all their inexperience and last place finish, the Maple Leafs gave their goaltenders a fighting chance most nights. Andersen has established himself as a solid goaltender, despite consistently splitting time in the crease throughout his career. The Leafs are all-in on Andersen, and he should get a workhorse workload this coming season. While we dont expect miracles for a team with zero returning 20-goal scorers, Andersens ratios should be passable as a No. 2 fantasy goaltender, and his consistent starts will be of value.Quick HitsDepending on where he lands on the Sharks depth chart, Mikkel Boedker will be a very intriguing sleeper heading into next season. Hes never scored 20 goals or 60 points, but he looks like a player that could in the right situation. Hes a speedy winger on a team full of great centers.Kyle Okposos value is stable with a move to the Buffalo Sabres. While he wont immediately find a talent like John Tavares to work with, Jack Eichel could be a reasonable facsimile by the end of the season. Ryan OReilly isnt a terrible fallback plan, either.With Patrice Bergeron and David Backes on the same team it will be a wonder if opposing teams ever get a chance to score. Hyperbole aside, there is a chance Backes looses some fantasy value here because he is the second-best two-way center on his team now, which could mean fewer minutes.The Carolina Hurricanes are stockpiling third-tier offensive assets and high-upside prospects. There is a chance the right combination could click on a line that will be significantly more valuable for fantasy than the sum of its parts. Keep an eye on Teuvo Teravainen and Lee Stempniak especially. The former will get his first chance at prime minutes, and the latter has a tendency to find the right niche for value.Top 250 rankings for 2016-17Note: Sean Allens top 250 players are ranked for their expected performance in ESPN standard leagues. ESPN standard stats include goals, assists, power-play points, shots on goal, plus/minus, penalty minutes and average time on ice for skaters, and wins, goals-against average and save percentage for goalies. Michael Crabtree Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Clive Walford Jersey . The defence is doing its part, too. Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half and the guys on the other side made sure that was enough, sending the Saints to a 17-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. http://www.officialauthenticraidersstore.com/authentic-ronnie-lott-jersey.html . Both players have lower body injuries that will keep them out of the lineup until at least January 31, which is the first game they can be activated from IR.PITTSBURGH -- It was hard to tell whether the Pittsburgh Pirates were heading on a road trip or getting ready for a Stanley Cup playoff game after beating the Chicago Cubs 4-2 on Thursday for their fourth straight win. All of the Pirates players and coaches wore Pittsburgh Penguins replica jerseys as they got ready to embark on a road trip to Milwaukee and Detroit. The Penguins even sent a custom-made No. 13 sweater to manager Clint Hurdle. The Penguins lead the Ottawa Senators 3-1 in their best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinal. "Theres nothing much like playoff hockey," Hurdle said. "Were just getting into the spirit." Utility infielder Brandon Inge took things one step farther before the game, arriving in the Pirates clubhouse dressed in a full hockey uniform and rollerblades. "Its something fun, something to change things up a little bit during a long season. Plus, weve got to support our boys," said Pirates second baseman Neil Walker, a Pittsburgh-area native. The Pirates won for the 11th time in 13 games as Andrew McCutchen had three hits and two RBIs. Leadoff hitter Starling Marte singled and scored in each of the first two innings as Pittsburgh built an early 4-0 lead. The Pirates moved a season-best 11 games over .500. "Were playing good baseball and I dont think weve reached our ceiling yet," McCutchen said. "The pitching has been good all year but the hitting has kind of been up and down. The bats are eventually going to come around and we should be even better when that happens." The Cubs lost their fourth in a row. Edwin Jackson (1-7) gave up two runs in the first inning and two more in the second. He gave up six hits and struck out six in three innings and has a 6.11 ERA through 10 starts. "I got beat with men on base with balls up in the zone," Jackson said. "I had some times when I got it down but in vital situations when I needed to keep the ball down I wasnt doing that, and that pretty much sums up the game." Jackson is in his first season with the Cubs after signing a four-year, $52 million contract over the winter as a free agent. "I think at times he tries too hard to justify his contract and overthrows,&quoot; Chicago manager Dale Sveum said. Howie Long Jersey. "I think he needs to relax and just be Edwin Jackson, the guy we liked enough to sign." Reliever Vin Mazzaro (3-0) pitched 2 1-3 scoreless innings. He replaced starter Jeanmar Gomez in the fourth inning following a rain delay of 1 hour, 47 minutes. "I knew about a half-hour before the delay ended that I was going to come in to pitch, but you never know how the long the delay might last, so I tried to stay as prepared as possible," Mazzaro said. "I felt like I was ready to go." Gomez allowed one run and three hits in 3 2-3 innings. "I thought I had really good stuff today and control of all my pitches," Gomez said. "Then it started raining hard and that was it. I think I could have pitched a lot longer but Im frustrated about it. You cant do anything about the rain." Jason Grilli pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning and is a perfect 19-for-19 in save opportunities. Marte led off the bottom of the first inning with a single, stole second with one out and scored on McCutchens single. McCutchen stole second and scored on Michael McKenrys single. Marte singled in the second and scored on Travis Sniders triple that rolled to the 410-foot notch in left-centre field. McCutchen added his second RBI single. The Cubs got a run in the fourth when David DeJesus led off with a double and scored on Anthony Rizzos grounder. The Cubs had runners on the corners when two outs when play was halted, but Mazzaro got Welington Castillo to hit an inning-ending groundout after the delay. Chicago cut the deficit to 4-2 in the seventh with Darwin Barney singling in Castillo, who had walked. NOTES: Jackson was struck in the rear end by a line drive off the bat of Marte in the second inning.

Sky Sports presenter Alex Payne provides his predictions for Saturdays Autumn Internationals. Alex Sandro Jersey . Alex has run his eye across Sky Bets markets and has picked out plenty of selections from the try scorer and result markets, adding some interest for those fancying a wager.Heres what he is expecting this weekend... England v South Africa (Twickenham, 2.30pm, live on Sky Sports 1HD) England vs South Africa November 12, 2016, 2:00pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass The history and form tell two very different stories coming into the first match of the Old Mutual Wealth series. England have not beaten the Boks in a decade (with 11 losses and a draw in that time) but have won their last ten internationals on the trot, nine of which coming under Eddie Jones, stretching back to the final game of the 2015 World Cup. However, whilst the Boks have dominated this recent head-to-head, they have managed only one win in their last six, and were pretty lucky to scrape a draw against the make-shift Barbarians last weekend.The problems for South Africa stretch far beyond those wearing the shirt and although they will be fired up, Jones should have his men too well prepared to be troubled. The head coach does have injury problems, but will expect those chosen to grab their chance. England to take it by more than 13 at 11/8 with Sky Bet.Electric Englishman Could Jamie George come on and score for England? Englands wingers have scored 23 tries in their last 20 tests which gives you a pretty good shot at Jonny May or Marland Yarde (both 9/4). But Im going for Elliot Daly; he has been chomping at the bit for this opportunity, I think his pace could cause huge problems in the 13 channel - he is 3/1 to score on his first start. For longer odds, consider Jamie George. Englands replacement hooker is the top try scorer in the Premiership this season with five in eight - all of them have come in the second half, and I fancy him to score the last try at 20/1.South Africa striker South Africa flanker Willem Alberts The Boks have scored one try in their last three tests and looked very blunt last weekend against the Babaas. No visitors try is worth covering at 3/1 but their biggest threat is their power game - Willem Alberts brings plenty of that, and has scored three tries in four games against England. He is 9/1 anytime.Wales v Argentina (Principality Stadium, 5.30pm)Wales have won four of the last five between these two but come into the game off the back of a mauling against the Wallabies and a heavy three-test loss to the All Blacks in the summer. Argentina registered just the one win in the Rugby Championship, but did play some great rugby - most notably against New Zealand in Dunedin. Last week, they warmed up with an easy win over Japan.Sam Warburton, Alun Wyn Jones and Liam Williams are back in red, but are short of game time of late. Although they will have Wales fired up, I think there is more woe to come. Argentina have squad depth and continuity in selection and I think theyll squeeze home by 1-5 at 5/1.Welsh wonder Gareth Davies in action for Wales Gareth Davies has seven tries in 14 tests and always threatens the line. Given the nine shirt in the absence of Rhys Webb, he worth backing to grab a try.Puma powerFacundo Isa has been superb for the Pumas this year, and has scored against Australia and New Zealand recently. My bold call for this weekend is for the No 8 to score the first try at 22/1 with Sky Bet.Scotland v Australia (Murrayfield, 2.30pm)There has been plenty of talk from Scotland about using the pain of last years World Cup quarter-final loss as motivation this weekend. But the more significant talking point is the inexperience on either side of the front row - Allan Dell is making his debut, Zander Fagerson is winning his second cap.The Wallabies had a big injection of confidence in Cardiff, and if they get the nudge up front, they should have too many options in attack at Murrayfield. The last four have been very close - two wins apiece settled by an average of less than three points - but with clear conditions forecast, I think Australia should ease home by 11-15 at 4-1.Scottish scorcher Scotlands Stuart Hogg (top) is pushing for a Lions place In a Lions season, these are the games to catch the eye. Stuart Hogg has made no secret of his desperation to be on the plane to New Zealand; he is probably the form No 15 at the moment and is worth backing as an anytime try scorer.Awesome Australian Will Genia has been standout performer for the Wallabies this season Will Genia has been standout performer for the Wallabies this season, and returns to the starting line-up this weekend after club commitments in France. The scrum-half is a good bet snipe in for a try.Ireland v Canada (Aviva Stadium, 7.15pm, live on Sky Sports 3HD) Ireland vs Canada November 12, 2016, 7:00pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass Joe Schmidts Ireland are all change from the heroes of Chicago, but dont expect a drop off in performance. After their first win over the All Blacks, the Aviva will be absolutely bouncing and I expect the men in green to register a comfortable win. Canada are not a side ready to claim the scalp of a tier one team - their last win over a major nation came against Scotland in 2002. Ireland put 50 on them in the Rugby World Cup a year ago, and I expect them to break the half century again, beating Sky Bets 38-point handicap at 10/11.Irish inspirationThe time has finally come for Garry Ringrose to make his international debut. There has been a lot of hype around the young Irishman, and he is worth backing to fan those flames with a debut try.Canadian candidate Will DTH van der Merwe get a chance to show his pace? DTH van der Merwe. Chances may be few and far between for Canada, but if they are on offer van der Merwe will snaffle them. Remarkably hes scored six tries in his last five tests (including one against Ireland last year) and is definitely worth a nod at a decent price.

ATLANTA -- Josh Pastner saw plenty of areas needed for improvement in his first game as Georgia Techs head coach. Greg Monroe Jersey .He wants the pace to speed up. He wants players making quicker cuts on offense. He doesnt want to call a play every time his team has possession.I want our guys to be able to play with freedom and structure and make plays, but with that comes lots of responsibility, Pastner said. Theyve got to understand how to play the right way.Josh Okogie scored 18 points, Ben Lammers added 15 points and Pastner won his Georgia Tech debut with a 70-55 victory over Tennessee Tech on Friday night.Quinton Stephens finished with 12 points and six rebounds for the Yellow Jackets.Lammers output was a career high, as were his five blocks. Okogie was 7 for 9 from the field and had five rebounds.Micaiah Henry finished with 15 points and JaCardo Hawkins added 10 points for Tennessee Tech.Pastner went 167-73 and led Memphis to four NCAA tournaments in seven seasons before joining the Yellow Jackets last spring. Hes beginning a major rebuilding project with one of the nations least experienced rosters.Pastner had four players making their first college start -- Lammers, Okogie, Abdoulaye Gueye and Justin Moore. Stephens started 14 games last season.The Jackets were without Josh Heath, who was suspended for the first four games of the season for violating team rules. Tadric Jackson missed the game with a hamstring injury.Georgia Tech never trailed after Stephens jumper gave the Jackets a one-point lead in the first 5 minutes of the first half.Okogies 3-pointer in front of the Jackets bench pushed the lead to 61-48 with 3:59 remaining. Stephens 3 made it 64-50 a couple of possessions later.Pastner has high expectations for Okogie, who starred at nearby Shiloh High School in Snellville. Okogie played 21 minutes, about 10 minutes less than the other starters because he picked up three fouls in the first half. Pastner said two of them were 94 feet from the basket.I think Josh Okogie has a chance down the road to be a really good ACC player, Pastner said. Im a big, big fan of Josh Okogie. I just didnt think he played real well tonight. He can play way better. Hes got that ability.Tennessee Tech guard Aleksa Jugovic began the night shooting 39.4 percent in 259 career attempts on 3s, but he went just 1 for 6 beyond the arc and finished with five points.BIG PICTURETennessee Tech: The Golden Eagles went 19-12 last season, 11-5 in the Ohio Valley Conference. They were picked in preseason to finish fourth in the East Division for the second straight year.We lost three really good seniors last year off a good team, coach Steve Payne said. They are hard to replace. The guys that were our go-to were offensive guys, and everybody is playing a new role or we have some new guys playing.Georgia Tech: The departures of last years most productive players -- Marcus Georges-Hunt, Adam Smith, Charles Mitchell and Nick Jacobs -- left a major scoring and rebounding void, about 53 points and 21 boards per game. Pastner said earlier that he likely will change the starting lineup a few times in November to decide who best fits the role.UP NEXTTennessee Tech: Hosts Central Michigan on Monday.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. Wholesale White Air Max Shoes . -- An investigation launched after a freshman high school player in Tennessee was attacked by three teammates at a holiday basketball tournament has revealed widespread, systemic problems going unaddressed at every level in his countys public schools.The countys district attorney and sheriffs office jointly investigated allegations of hazing and bullying on Ooltewah High Schools basketball team, and found problems on a much wider scale. Their report released Thursday says permissive coaches and an apathetic administration allowed a culture of bullying to spread around the county.The investigation was launched in January, days after Gatlinburg police said three Ooltewah players assaulted a freshman teammate with a pool cue on Dec. 22. In juvenile court last month, one was convicted of aggravated rape and aggravated assault, and the other two were found guilty of aggravated assault.From the moment the basketball coaches drove the team out of town without Board approval, the system failed, the report says.There was failure to adequately supervise the students, failure to recognize the significance of the horrific injuries suffered during a rape, failure to notify the victims parents, failure to provide a swift and appropriate response to the attacks, and failure to assure the public that proactive measures would be taken to address the root causes of these failures.Many of adults referred to in the report are no longer working in the countys schools. Kirk Kelly, the interim superintendent, said in a statement that the board will determine additional steps as we continue to improve our district.We have already made significant changes in our district over the past six months, including new and stricter policies, stronger training for our employees about abuse reporting, and a more comprehensive approach to crisis management and communications, Kelly said. However, the report may provide us an additional opportunity to enhance our practices, provide better support and safety for all students moving forward.While this has been a difficult time for many, I believe we will be better positioned in the future by having taken the right training path, creating greater awareness of appropriate behavior and encouraging the sharing of timely information.According to the report, the teams coach, Andre Montgomery, attempted to grossly minimize the situation and attempted to cover up the crimes. The report says Montgomery told players to keep quiet and not inform their parents.Montgomery was indicted in May on four counts of failing to report child sexual abuse. His lawyer, Curtis Bowe, said Thursday he hadnt seen the report and declined further comment.The report says authorities widened their investigation after fielding complaints about other bullying at Ooltewah and other Hamilton County schools. They found that neither Ooltewah High officials nor central office administrators at Hamilton County acknowledged the seriousness of the Dec. 22 case.And it says there is no indication that Rick Smith, the Hamilton County schools superintendent at the time, took his duty to manage the situation seriously. It says that Smith failed to communicate the gravity of the situation to School Board members or the public.The report says Hamilton County Department of Education has a glaring lack of training on how to handle these types of incidents. And it states that Ooltewah athletes continue to display bullying and threatening behavior.This report comes one month after a separate investigation commissioned by Hamilton County school officials said that Ooltewah had a culture of hazing and bullying even before the Dec. 22 attack.Meanwhile, the victim filed suit on Sept. 9 against his former coach, the former vice principal and athletic director, the former principal and the countys board of education, accusing them of knowingly ignoring the abuse of athletes.The lawsuit alleges that Montgomery told players after the assault, Were a family and what goes on in the family stays in the family.
