Yeezy Wave Runner 700 Uk . -- The St. Johns IceCaps weathered a wild first period with the help of goaltender Jussi Olkinuora, before finding offensive inroads in the second. http://www.cheapadishoesuk.com/nmd-adidas-sale-uk/adidas-nmd-runner.html .J. -- Seven games into a disappointing season, New York Giants defensive catalyst Jason Pierre-Paul is getting the feeling hes back. JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Cornerback Jalen Ramsey was the cant-miss draft pick. Defensive tackle Malik Jackson was the $90 million free agent. Pass-rusher Dante Fowler Jr. was the key piece returning from injury.Rookie Yannick Ngakoue is having as big an impact as any of them for the Jacksonville Jaguars this season.A third-round pick from Maryland, Ngakoue has a team-leading three sacks, three forced fumbles and an interception that set up a touchdown. And the Jaguars (1-3), who have a bye this week, believe hes just getting started.Every year in this league you have guys stepping up and things like that, so its no surprise, Jaguars linebacker Telvin Smith said.You cant look at a piece of paper or a draft pick or what his check is and say, `This guy is going to be this. Thats what I love about this league: Youve got to go out and re-prove yourself every Sunday, every Monday, every Thursday.Every time you step on that field, you have to say, `This is who I am. And right now, hes doing a great job of it.Ngakoue is one of eight NFL players to notch at least one sack in each of the past three weeks. He also has a forced fumble in three straight games, and now leads all rookies in both categories. His three sacks tied him with Kevin Hardy (1996) for the most by a rookie through four games in franchise history.Its not surprising to us because he works like that in practice, coach Gus Bradley said. The cool thing is that he is carrying it over, and if there is a time where he gets stuck or blocked, it doesnt frustrate him to the next play. He recovers quickly and he has been playing at a high level.Ngakoue (pronounced In-GACK-way) played at a high level as a junior at Maryland. He set a school record with 13+ sacks and ranked second in the nation in sacks per game.The Jaguars viewed Ngakoue as a perfect fit at the teams pass-rushing Leo position behind Fowler, the third overall pick in the 2015 draft who missed his rookie season because of a knee injury.Its an important spot in Bradleys 4-3 scheme and one the Jaguars failed to fill the previous three years with Jason Babin, Jeremy MMincey, Chris Clemons, Andre Branch, Ryan Davis and Chris Smith. Cheap Adidas Ultra Boost Shoes. Jacksonville parted ways with Clemons and Branch after last season, clearing the way for Fowler to step right into a starting role. But they needed a backup.First-year defensive coordinator Todd Wash felt Ngakoue could be the guy, maybe even more.It was a situation where I was standing on the table earlier in the draft for him, Wash said. I loved him coming out. I know his temperament, his ability and I think youre starting to see more. ... We really like what weve seen in the draft and what were getting right now out of him.The revamped Jaguars rank sixth in the NFL in total defense, averaging 304.5 yards a game, and insist the unit is only going to get better the longer the new faces continue to jell.Ramsey has been better than anyone expected, starting from Day 1 and basically shutting down top receivers every week.Jackson has provided consistent pressure up the middle, keeping quarterbacks in the pocket and providing the catalyst for many of the teams 12 sacks. Fowler has been solid, too, with two sacks and several big plays.Ngakoue has been just as good, especially considering he hasnt been on the field nearly as much.Got to play with a chip, Ngakoue said. Always underestimated and always out to prove something each and every day. Just because I made it to this level, its not the end. Its just the beginning. Thats my mentality each and every day.Its a good approach to have, especially as a rookie whos had some early success.The Jaguars love it, almost as much as they do his past three performances.His first step is really good, Wash said. He can cover some ground vertically. He has the ability to lean and bend. He not only is a speed guy, but has enough man in him to be a power rusher also. You cant be a one-trick pony when youre rushing the passer, so were very excited about him.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Stitched Jerseys China NFL Jerseys White China NFL Jerseys NFL Jerseys Cheap Discount NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Hoodies Wholesale Authentic Jerseys ' ' '

LAS VEGAS -- Interim UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has been pulled from his title-unification bout against Daniel Cormier at UFC 200 on Saturday, after the U. Bedste Pris Herre/Dame Nike Air Force 1 Mid 07 Sko Sort/Sort 315123-001 DK .S. Anti-Doping Agency informed Jones of a potential doping violation Wednesday.UFC president Dana White announced the move Wednesday during an impromptu news conference at the MGM Grand.Jones tested positive for a banned substance in an out-of-competition sample taken June 16 by USADA, said Jeff Novitzky, UFCs vice president of athlete health and performance. USADA administers UFCs anti-drug policy.It is important to note that under the UFC anti-doping policy, theres a full, fair legal-review process that is afforded to all athletes before any sanctions are imposed, Novitzky said.Novitzky added that there wasnt time for a full review before the scheduled bout.White said he has not spoken to Jones yet and that he wasnt aware whether the substance in question was a performance-enhancing drug.A heavyweight fight between Brock Lesnar and Mark Hunt will now headline UFC 200, which takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena.Jones has the right to appeal any positive test. He has never tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs but did test positive for traces of cocaine before a fight against Cormier in January 2015.Jones also served a suspension from April to October after his involvement in a hit-and-run accident.Under UFCs anti-doping program, which went into effect in July 2015, a positive test for a performance-enhancing drug carries a standard two-year suspension.In an interview with ESPN last week, Jones had expressed hope he could turn his legacy into a positive one.I want to show the world that you can be down but never out, Jones said. I want to be a story where someone risked losing so much but ultimately turned everything around. A lot of times you hear these stories about athletes who ruined their career, and they go away and no one knows what happened to them or theyre bankrupt or they end up in jail. They just ruined a great career. I want to be one of the few stories you hear where I was ruining things but ultimately turned things around and became a hero. Thats my vision for the way my story is going to play out.White said he would like to find Cormier, the defending light heavyweight champion, a new opponent, but that would be difficult because of the timing.When you have the biggest, baddest fight card ever assembled, you know, it doesnt sting as bad when you lose a fight, White said. But it stings real bad for Daniel Cormier. This is devastating to him, his family, and Id like for him to fight another guy.Cormier appeared next to White during the news conference.Ive trained hard and long, Cormier said. If anybody would fight, I would fight. Why not? I understand the difficult task it would be to find me a fight on two days. Im willing to fight up, put on some weight, 225, 220 [pounds]. Ill fight. It doesnt matter. I just cant fight a really big guy, because Ive been shrinking my body.Cormier said he would put in the effort and would accept a new fight if UFC could find one that made sense.Ive worked really hard to prepare for this, Cormier said. You take care of what you need to take care of. Thats what I did. More than anything, its really disappointing.Cormier said having USADA as UFCs partner in the administration of drug testing changes a lot of things and that UFC made a conscious decision to bring in USADA.They didnt have to do this, Cormier said. They decided to clean up the sport. Youre going to have casualties.Cormier said he got a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach when White texted him Wednesday, asking him whether he could make it to the news conference.This guy always gives me good news, Cormier said of White. You know, this guy calls you with a seven-figure check -- Dude, youre rich now -- you know, he calls you with good news. And the mood didnt feel very good. It was scary. So I came here, and I was actually early. Its probably the first time Ive ever been early. I needed to know. But hes usually the good-news guy. And today he had to give me some pretty bad news.Information from ESPN senior writer Arash Markazi and The Associated Press was used in this report. Air Force 1 High Danmark . R.J.

Jim Rutherford, President and General Manager of the Carolina Hurricanes, announced Wednesday that the team would assign Swedish forward Elias Lindholm to his nations team for the upcoming tournament. Double Olympic medalist Sushil Kumar paid tribute to wrestler Sakshi Maliks bronze medal performance in Rio saying that it would show the way ahead for women wrestlers in India and also challenge theories about athletes requiring several Olympics under their belt in order to win medals.Sakshi has done a great service for women wrestling, she has shown the women wrestlers of the country the way, Sushil said while speaking to CNNNews18 this morning. She never left her confidence and her drive. Had she given up, she wouldnt have won. The person who fights to the last, wins. She was outstanding. Sushil said, It is like a service she has done the country because the people of India were just pining for a medal.What was even more remarkable about Sakshis medal-winning performance was the fact that Rio happened to be her first Olympic Games. Sushil, who won his first Olympic medal in his second Olympics in Beijing 2008, said that a debut Olympic medal was not impossible. First Olympics or last doesnt make a difference. What matters is how are you performing? How are you winning? How did youu lose? That is what is important. Tilbud Herre/Dame Nike Air Force 1 Low Sko Hvid/Metallisk Guld AA4083-102 DK. The idea that you will win a medal only in your second or third Olympics is nothing. What matters is your focus and the work you put in. Saskhis focus has been entirely on her wrestling and she has given her life to it. Who does the maximum work gets the medal.India has, following Sakshis bronze, now won three repechage medals in wrestling at the Olympics. It was to begin with Sushils Beijing bronze, the tipping point for Indian wrestling. The repechage rounds Sushil said, tend to give a wrestler a certain clarity of purpose. Once you miss an opportunity and you are given another, then it is like you get a new understanding of your situation. The repechage becomes he said, your only chance.You have got this opportunity, put your whole self into it. It is why you become filled with energy and purpose. Because you know that either you will achieve what you have worked so long for or will set yourself back again.

NCAA president Mark Emmert says member schools might reconsider allowing college athletes who compete in the Olympics to accept payments for performance. Nike Air Force 1 Low Hvid Dame .The NCAA rules allow athletes to accept money for training from the U.S. Olympic Committee or similar organizations in other countries along with national sports governing bodies. Athletes can also keep bonuses given for winning medals. A gold medal was worth $25,000 for U.S. athletes in Rio. A silver paid $15,000 and a bronze $10,000.For some countries, the payments are much greater. Swimmer Joseph Schooling, who attends the University of Texas and competes for Singapore, received more than $750,000 for winning gold in the 100 butterfly.On Thursday, Emmert said during an interview with Aspen Institute that Schoolings amount was far more than what NCAA membership had in mind.To be perfectly honest, its caused everybody to say, Oh, well thats not really what we were thinking about, Emmert said. So I dont know where the members will go on that. Thats a little different than 15 grand for the silver medal for swimming for the US of A. So I think its going to stimulate a very interesting conversation.The NCAA has been OK with the USOCs bonus program since 2001. In 2015, it allowed for athletes to accept similar bonuses from other countries.The question is whether that person is still an amateur, Emmert said about the large bonuses. Because if they competed in South Africa and [got] paid $750,000 to play ball in South Africa, they would be declared a professional athlete and be not eligible for NCAA play. Thats the fundamental problem. Nike Air Force 1 Hvid Dame .

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Shaquem Griffin Womens Jersey . -- Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles insists his confidence isnt shaken despite playing the worst football of his NFL career.It probably helps that coach Gus Bradley has his back.I firmly, firmly believe in Blake Bortles, without a doubt, Bradley said Monday, a day after a 33-16 home loss to Oakland. I think it was a challenging day (with) some of the situations we were in, but as far as a competitor and tough and what he brings to this team, there is no doubt.The Jaguars should have, at the very least, some concerns about whether the third-year-pro is a long-term solution. In several games this season and especially against the Raiders, Bortles showed no touch, no timing and no sense that hes capable of turning things around on a consistent basis.His inaccuracy continues to be a major concern, along with his penchant for turnovers and his less-than-ideal mechanics. His ultra-long windup is giving defenders extra time to break on passes, and those three-quarter-sidearm throws make the 6-foot-5 Bortles play more like a 6-footer. He is tied for the most passes batted down at the line of scrimmage (7).He has nine touchdown passes, nine interceptions, two fumbles and a rushing score. Sure, hes been plagued by some drops and a little bad luck with balls that should have been caught ending up getting picked.But he also has benefited from two somewhat-fluky touchdowns. Allen Hurns turned a 4-yard out into a 42-yard touchdown in London when he broke an arm tackle, outmaneuvered five defenders on a sloppy field and found the end zone. Two weeks later in Chicago, Arrelious Benn slipped while catching a low throw, then got up, took advantage of a defender who also fell and went untouched for a 51-yard score.Without those plays, the Jaguars probably would be winless in 2016.Whats more certain is Bortles has regressed from last season, when he finished with 35 touchdown passes and looked poised to take another significant step in Year 3. Instead, hes been one of the franchises biggest problems.He completed 23 of 43 passes for 246 yards Sunday against the leagues worst-ranked defense. He had a garbage-time touchdown to Julius Thomas that was nearly picked, and two interceptions.He failed to look off a defender and threw a pick in the end zone in the first quarter. He badly underthrew Marcedes Lewis down the field early in the second and wildly zipped one wide of Thomas.I missed some throws, Bortles said after the game. It happens every Sunday in any game you watch. Its part of playing football. Obviously, you dont want to do that. You want to make every throw. Sometimes you miss them, so its a continuous work in progress (to) find ways to get better, find ways to throw the ball to our team and try to put up more points.Although benching Bortles might seem like an option, its not for the Jaguars -- at least not now. They have a short week before playing at Tennessee (3-4) on Thursday night. Its also the start of a tough stretch in which Jacksonville plays four road games in five weeks.Bortles isnt the offenses only issue, either:-The line has been among the worst in the league, failing to open holes for running backs and allowing 15 sacks in six games.-Pro Bowl receiver Allen Robinson has looked lost at times, struggling to create separation and get open against double teams, and hes dropping passes early and often. His touchdown-turned-interception last week at Chicago was a game changer for Jacksonville. Instead of getting points on the opening drive, the Jaguars seemed deflated right from the start and barely recovered.Were just not doing enough of those things right, Bradley said. It feels like a broken record. Weve bounced back from it. We see some resilience. ... The fight and all that is there, its just were not taking advantage of opportunities, especially in the red zone offensively.-And the defense has provided Bortles little help in terms of creating turnovers and giving him better field position.It falls on all of us, Bradley said. It falls on me as a head coach, falls on the defense for not getting the ball, enough turnovers, and it falls on not taking advantage of opportunities in the red zone.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Tre Flowers Womens Jersey . Vettel, who has already clinched his fourth straight F1 title, enters the finale with a chance to equal Michael Schumachers 13 victories in a year and match the record of nine consecutive wins by Alberto Ascari in the 1952 and 1953 seasons. Black Friday Seahawks Jerseys . Rinne played two periods in his first game since left hip surgery in early May. Gabriel Bourque scored 3:07 into the second period and Austin Watson tallied 5:15 later for Nashville. http://www.cheapseahawksjerseys.net/ .J. -- New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz will miss the rest of the season after having surgery on his left knee. In the six weeks after Muhammad Alis death, thousands of autographed items flooded the market, with sellers hoping to capitalize on the demand.But the quantity of items, and, in some cases, the cheap prices associated with them, has ignited one of the more hotly contested battles over whats real and whats fake. The debate also includes who is supplying the autographs, who is authenticating them and who is selling them.For years, Alis signature has not only been among the most expensive, but also among the most forged. (Autographs thought to be legitimate on 8-by-10s even before his death were hard to find under $150, with his autograph on a boxing glove in the $2,000 range.)There are thousands and thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, of fake Ali signatures out there, some are fresh and some are from the [FBI bust] Operation Bullpen days in the late 90s, said Harlan Werner, who managed Alis marketing exclusively for 19 years, ending in 2006. You couldnt buy a real Ali signed glove for less than $1,000 over the past decade, and you certainly cant buy one for that now. Yet real fans are buying them every day for these insanely low prices.Werner, who had a huge stash of legitimate Ali signatures, said he began liquidating years ago when he realized the fake Ali market was compromising those who had real signatures.Scott Mahlum of Mill Creek Sports, who has an exclusive deal with Russell Wilson, among others, has been investing in pre-1990 signed Ali autographs for years.So many of these autographs we are seeing now are all great, in the perfect spot, and theyre on photos that no one had access to when Ali had a signature that even looked close to this, Mahlum said.Alis might be the most complex signature of all time. Each year, it seemed to decline in clarity, beginning in the mid-90s, when the effects of Parkinsons disease began to take hold. Because Ali signed many of his photos with a date, its possible to piece together what Alis autograph looked like over time.Thats exactly what Shawn Anderson did when he found out he was duped with a fake Ali signed photograph more than 10 years ago. He started buying up dated Ali signed items and strung them together on a website to show Alis autograph from the 1960 through 2003. Over time, he became an expert in Ali signatures.In the last 10 years of his life, Alis autograph was not good because of what he was going through, Anderson said. People today are looking for a good clean autograph. You can get one, but if its cheap, its more likely than not that its a fake.Anderson, Mahlum and Werner all say that, in their opinion, one of the companies that has been authenticating Ali signatures sold after his death has been authenticating fakes.That company is GFA. Stephen Rocchi, who founded and runs the company, says he stands by every signature that GFA authenticates, and if someone claims what they bought was fake, hell buy it back from them. Hes only had to do that once since 2011, he says, with a Mickey Mantle autograph that he still believes was authentic.Rocchi says his company gets bashed because, unlike the leaders in the industry, he said he doesnt let politics get in the way of authenticating pieces.We dont pay attention to how many autographs someone brings to us or who they are, Rocchi said. We make it only about the autograph. We have exemplars, we match the autograph in front of us to the exemplars and have 15 points of authentication and if it matches, we call it real. We dont have deals with auction companies like the other guys do, and we dont know dealers. Its better that way.When told that competitor JSA failed a GFA-certified Ali signature at a recent show, a signature that had been bought on eBay after Alis death, Rocchi said thats because our competition will fail anything with our sticker.Rocchis competition also includes industry leader PSA/DNA, a company Rocchi was the president of in 1999 when it essentially invented autograph certification for the industry. Rocchi asserts that its in PSAs and JSAs best interest to hold down populations of what they deem to be real Ali autographs so values stay up and their higher authentication fees can be justified.PSA, for example, says it authenticates more than 500,000 autographs a year. Rocchi says GFA does fewer than 20,000.Rocchi also says he will put his lead authenticator, John Gorajcyzk, who worked for nearly two decades as a forensic scientist for the Phoenix Police Department, up against those at JSA and PSA.When told of Rocchis comments, PSAs lead authenticator, Steve Grad, dismissed claims that competition and clientele lead to authentication bias.GFAs Ali signatures, which weve a lot of recently, are failed by us for one simple reason -- they dont match any exemplars of any previous Ali signature, Grad said. They are a created hybrid of many things Ali did, but the flow and the pressure in them is all wrong.Grad said, in his opinion, it looks like the GFA-certified Ali autographs were signed by a woman.I watched more of Ali sign over the last decade than any authenticator, Grad said. These are juust not close. Authentic Seahawks Jerseys. The battle between the authenticators over Ali got even nastier when Authentic Brands Group, which bought Alis licensing rights in 2013, entered the fray.ABG has formally objected to hundreds of postings on eBays auction pages since Alis death asking that they be pulled, ABG attorney Bridgette Fitzpatrick confirmed.She said that the company, with the help of an unnamed reputable authenticator, goes through the postings every day and alerts eBay to stop auctions with Ali signatures that they believe are frauds.Outside the Lines found that at least 200 of those pulled included GFA-certified Ali signatures.EBay does not pull auctions itself, as certain legal rulings have established that the marketplace does not have any legal liability if a person buys a fake on the site. The site does however have a program called the Verified Rights Owner program VeRO, where established rights holders can apply to have the authority to, with cause, work with eBay to pull infringing items.Julien Dudouit, eBays global intellectual property manager, confirmed to Outside the Lines that the site was working with ABG on Ali and that items are being taken down quickly.EBay maintains that less than .025 percent of its listings in 2014 were identified as being potentially counterfeit, but in the case a counterfeit claim is justified, Dudouit said the site offers a money back guarantee.Outside the Lines traced the movement of some of the Ali-signed photographs that were posted on eBay.Many of the Ali autographs, which were then authenticated by eBay sellers by GFA, come from South Florida dealer Tony Podsada, who runs a company called SCM.At one point, I had about 18,000 Ali autographs, Podsada said. I have about 3,000 left, mostly on 4-by-6 and 5-by-7 photos.Podsada said he obtained the Ali signatures from 1988 to 1993, when his business, My Favorite Players, was one of the heavyweights in the industry.Podsadas items do not come with a certificate of authenticity. Disenchanted with the authentication business, Podsada said he merely offers buyers the assurance that its a decorative item only.I believe what I have is real, but I dont guarantee anything because I know too much, Podsada said.Podsada will sell a 5-by-7 plaque with an Ali signature for $19.99 because he says that the leading authenticators, PSA/DNA and JSA, will fail his items simply because of the quantity he has. That makes it harder, he says, to make a greater margin.Technically, Podsada is losing money on the deal. He said most of the signatures he obtained came when Ali was charging $7 each. Factor in inflation and the cost to store them in what he says were vacuum-sealed bags in a dark storage facility and its almost a wash.I sell it cheap because I have to eat like everybody else, Podsada said.What Podsada said he can guarantee is that PSA and JSA have failed some of his Ali autographs which he says he personally witnessed. He also said that he talked with ABG when they first bought the business and they told him that the d was off in Muhammad in the Ali signatures he had.They might have known only one type of d, Podsada said, there were six to eight different ds that he made.One of the buyers of Podsadas Ali signatures has been Rod Iman of RBI Sports Inc. in North Carolina. He has sold more than 9,800 items on eBay and estimates that 2,500 a year are autographs which he then gets authenticated by GFA, by far the largest seller of GFA certified items on the site.Iman had some of his best days in business on eBay in the days following Alis death. But it came to a halt on June 10, the day of Alis funeral. Thats when Iman said his eBay account was frozen and he wasnt allowed to post new Ali items for a week, after eBay informed him that ABG had asserted its rights as a rights holder and alleged trademark infringement.All 21 of Imans active listings were taken down, and he hasnt sold an Ali item since.I called eBay and asked them, What case did the Ali people make? Iman said. They couldnt give me good answers.Iman says he believes all the Ali items he has sold are authentic. If you were going to forge Ali, why would you forge when he had a good signature? Iman asks. Wouldnt it make more sense to forge the scribble?Even so, Iman, like Rocchi and Podsada, said he will give back money to someone who contests the signature, which he has done in recent weeks.Those who claim that certain Ali signatures are fake often bring up the prices that these autographs have sold for after his death, a time where the value should jump.In the past month, 55 GFA-certified items have sold on eBay. Those items have sold for an average of $106.41 Include the GFA price of $25 for authentication, $20 to Podsada and eBays 10 percent take and a sellers margin on Ali items, before shipping, is less than $46 per autograph.Rocchi said hes proud of the low cost that is being delivered to the consumer, saying this is the way its supposed to be.

By having more great seasons. Manning was the only unanimous choice for the 2013 Associated Press NFL All-Pro team Friday.PITTSBURGH -- A classic sinkerballer, Charlie Morton has gotten out of countless jams by inducing a ground ball. On Wednesday, one turned his entire outing around. Morton shook off a shaky beginning to retire his final 11 batters over seven strong innings and the Pittsburgh Pirates maintained the best record in the majors with a 4-2 victory over the Miami Marlins. Morton (4-3) beat Miami for the second time in an 11-day span despite allowing six hits over his first three-plus innings. "Hes got pitches to get outs and to get on a roll," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "Weve seen it in the past. The challenge in front of Charlie is consistency." The Marlins had a single during each of the first three innings against Morton, and they took a 2-0 lead when they opened the fourth inning with three consecutive hits. Donovan Solano drove in Giancarlo Stanton with a bloop single over Neil Walkers head for the games first run. But conceding Miamis second run was a trade-off Morton and the Pirates were willing to make. Logan Morrison scored when Adeiny Hechavarria followed by grounding into a double play. "Hes capable of getting two outs with one pitch with somebody on base more than anyone we have," Hurdle said. "I do think that did give him a boost of confidence going into the rest of the game." Morton did not allow any of the remaining hitters he faced to reach base. "Initially, I give up two runs, and I dont want to give up runs," Morton said. "I dont want to put anything on the shoulders of anyone else -- I want to do my job. So when I dont and I give up runs, thats frustrating. But I have trust and faith in the guys in this clubhouse; theyve been amazing all year. Its a lot of fun to watch." Morton, who also had an RBI single, did not walk a batter and had five strikeouts in allowing two runs on six hits. Justin Wilson pitched a perfect eighth, and Mark Melancon was aided by Walkers catch on Stantons line drive in earning his seventh save. Second baseman Walker went to his right to stab a ball that was heading up the middle, then in one motion quickly threw to first to double up Ed Lucas. Andrew McCutchen homered for the Pirates (69-44), who have won four straight and are a season-high 25 games over .500. Chriistian Yelich had two hits for Miami, which has lost four in a row and scored eight runs in that span. Nike Tn Blanche Pas Cher. "Weve had some good at-bats but were not stringing them together," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "Were piecing together one run here or one run there. Believe me, its very frustrating. I know our guys our frustrated. Youve got to keep plugging along and hopefully have that day where we string a bunch of hits together." The go-ahead run came sprinting home in the Pittsburgh fifth when Tom Koehlers pitch to Starling Marte almost struck Marte in the face as he squared around to bunt on a safety squeeze. Marte went down hard, and as the ball went to the backstop he jumped up to get out of the way as Jordy Mercer ran in from third. That was one of two wild pitches by Koehler (3-7), who also hit a batter and allowed four hits and a walk in five innings. The rookie was the losing pitcher the previous time Morton beat Miami less than two weeks prior. "Im still a little aggravated about the fifth, to allow two runs and make the team fight back," Koehler said. "Youve got to be able to shut it down, slam the door there. You give them a chance and theyre going to capitalize on it. They didnt necessarily score their two runs as much as I gave them to them." With one out and no one on in the fourth, McCutchen took a 3-1 pitch to right-centre for his 16th home run, the second homer allowed by Koehler in his past seven starts. McCutchen added an infield single in the eighth, and Pedro Alvarez followed with a sacrifice fly to pad the Pirates lead. McCutchen, who is batting .359 at home this season, has a streak of five straight multihit games. NOTES: The start of the game was delayed by rain for 36 minutes. ... Pirates LHP Wandy Rodriguez, on the disabled list since June 11 because of left forearm tightness, threw off a mound for the first time in his rehabilitation Tuesday. ...

The Lodha Committee has told the BCCI that payments to players and officials for all board-organised tournaments, like the Ranji Trophy, can be made directly under existing terms, the board secretary Ajay Shirke said. Cheap Air Jordan 11 Retro Royal Blue/White Wholesale .The Committees permission came after the BCCI sought direction on the release of funds for the Rajasthan Ranji Trophy team and the states various age-group teams.According to the Indian Express, Shirke had written to the Committee last week stating that the association was cash-strapped and would not be able to play their next round of matches in the respective tournaments without funds. The Rajasthan team is currently playing a Ranji Trophy match against Karnataka in Vizianagram.The Honble Justice Lodha Committee has communicated today to the CEO of the BCCI (Rahul Johri) that payments to players and officials can be made directly to them as per the agreed existing terms. This is for all BCCI-organised tournaments, Shirke told the Indian Express. We didnt have problems for all state associations. They pay themselves (to their players). Because the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) is suspended, the problem was only for them.The BCCI sought clarification from the Lodha Committee following an order from the Supreme Court of India on October 21, in which the board was directed not to distribute funds to its state associations until they submit affidavits stating compliance with the recommendations of the court and the Lodha Committee within two weeks. The Rajasthan Cricket Associations suspended status was also a factor.The BCCI had suspended the RCA in May 2014 after the latter elected Lalit Modi, an expelled administrator, as its president. The board then omitted the RCA from the 2014-15 domestic programme.Rajasthan eventually got to play - though not under the RCA banner - after the Rajasthan High Court heard a writ petition signed by 75 players, and directed the Rajasthan Sports Council, the RCA and the BCCI to work in tandem and appoint selection committees to select teams for the boards senior, junior and womens tournaments. Before the 2015-16 season the board appointed an ad-hoc committee to run cricket in Rajasthan.Rajasthan have two more Group B matches to play before the end of the Ranji Trophys league stage. They are scheduled to play Delhi in Wayanad from November 21 and Vidarbha in Mumbai from December 7. Jordan 10 Ovo For Sale Online .

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Odell Beckham Jr. and Josh Norman avoided any fighting words just days before resuming their football feud.Whether the Giants receiver and the Redskins cornerback can play nice on the field Sunday when Washington comes to MetLife Stadium for an NFC East rivalry game remains to be seen.Both were relatively low-key in discussing their upcoming first meeting since last December , when the two acted like kids trying to be the toughest guy on the block. That was in a game between the Giants and Carolina Panthers, Normans team until he signed with Washington as a free agent in the offseason.The game was an ugly lowlight reel. The two pushed, shoved, took swings, wrestled, had a couple late hits and did a lot of trash talking. The most flagrant action came in the third quarter when Beckham delivered a diving helmet-to-helmet hit on All-Pro Norman while blocking.Beckham drew three personal fouls and was suspended one game by the NFL for multiple violations of safety-related playing rules.The Giants biggest receiving threat, Beckham was on his best behavior Wednesday while discussing any potential problem with Norman.Since then, I really have learned a lot, said Beckham, who was forced to sit out a game against Minnesota. You just have to take it. All you can do is learn from it. You cant go back. If I could, I wouldnt go back and change a single thing that happened. Thats how life happens. Things happened for a reason and everything happens for a reason.The 23-year-old 2014 first-round pick says the most important thing is helping the Giants (2-0) win, a result which would leave the Redskins three games behind New York.Norman says he is still working on forgiving Beckham for the helmet-to-helmet hit.That was last year, he said. I think things that happen in the past stay in the past, whether they are here or not.An ESPN report out of Washington said Norman had been assigned to play Beckham one on one every play except those in which the receiver lined up in the slot. Norman said he didnt get that memo, but he would not mind if that was the case.Heck yeah, why not? Norman said. Shoot man, thats the competitor thats inside of me, man. Rosso Corsa Jordan 32 Shoes. I dont shy away from nobody. Oh my gosh. When you go on Sunday (it) reeks and oozes with confidence. I dont bow down to nobody or their thoughts of me. I try to make my own. And when I do, I impose my own will. So I try to do that each and every time I step on the football field.Beckham leads the Giants with eight catches for 159 yards, a 13.3-yard average.Hes really a good player, Norman said. No hate whatsoever, man. The guy can play ball. I think the competitor in me likes that. Just challenged to get up for that.Giants coach Ben McAdoo doesnt expect an encore from Beckham and Norman.I think they put on a great show, the rookie head coach said. You have two outstanding competitors at the top of their game. Two premier players in this league. I think they put on a great show for everyone.Beckham said his play will be dictated by the Giants game plan. He will line up where they tell him and run the patterns they want. He expects the Redskins secondary will try to annoy him.Its part of their game plan, the third-year receiver said. I would do the same. Its mental warfare. Its the art of war. Theres different ways to attack it.If Norman shadows Beckham, that could open up things for Victor Cruz and rookie Sterling Shepard, who have eight and 11 catches, respectively. Looking back on last season, Beckham did not do badly against Norman, finishing with six catches for 76 yards and a touchdown. He also dropped a sure TD pass early in the game.While he may not be saying anything to provoke Norman, Beckham insists his game wont change.Have you ever watched Russell Westbrook play basketball? Beckham said. He plays with a lot of emotion or passion, whatever you want to call it. Its whats best for some players and whats not best for some players. You use it and just be smart. Play smart. Its football at the end of the day.---Ian Quillen in Ashburn, Virginia contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Stitched Jerseys China NFL Jerseys White China NFL Jerseys NFL Jerseys Cheap Discount NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Hoodies Wholesale Authentic Jerseys ' ' '
Purdue coach Matt Painter still believes in traditional basketball principles. Air Max 97 CR7 Portugal . He thinks bigger is better, experience matters and teams win with defense.But a revamped roster has forced Painter to rethink some things and adapt to the reality of no longer having a natural shot-blocker with A.J. Hammons gone.It actually helps us because we cant just think A.J. is going to save the day or block a shot, forward Caleb Swanigan said. I think it forces us to play better unit defense and I think it will help us every day.If last years Big Ten tournament runner-ups intend to contend for a regular-season title, they dont have a choice.While 7-foot-2 junior Isaac Haas is a capable center, he hasnt yet proved he can match the defensive prowess of Hammons, who manned the middle most of the last four seasons, or JaJuan Johnson, who performed the same job from 2007-11.Instead, Haas spent his first two college seasons mostly coming off the bench and occasionally battling foul trouble. And beyond Haas and the 6-9 Swanigan , the only other players taller than 6-6 are 6-8 forward Vince Edwards and Jacquil Taylor, a lightly-used 6-10 redshirt sophomore.To keep Haas active and healthy and the defense sound, Painter is asking a guard-heavy team to protect the front line rather than relying on the last line of defense to erase mistakes.Were concentrating on our close outs and keeping the ball in front of us and having some early help so were a better defensive team, Painter said. Were going to be different like I said, but I think we have a chance to be a good defensive team.And the Boilermakers have an abundance of players willing to pitch in.Its going to be a lot more about team defense this year, Edwards said. As an individual you want to be able to contain the bounce. If somebody gets beat, weve got to know somebody is right there to help.Here are some other things to watch this season:BALL HANDLINGPurdues inability to take care of the ball late last season led to a surprising first-round exit in the NCAA Tournament, courtesy of Arkansas-Little Rock, and Painter has taken measures to make sure there is not a repeat. He even scrimmaged against West Virginias full-court pressure just to give his team a glimpse of what it may face this season. Stay tuned to see if it helps.SPIKE TVPainter has found yet another graduate transfer who might pay immediate dividends, former Michigan guard Spike Albrecht. The 24-year-old played in eight games before missing the rest of last season after having hip surgery. During the offseason, Albrecht opted to return to his home state, meaning the last active college player from the Wolverines 2013 Final Four team will play at Purdue.HOBBLED HAASIn addition to Haas expanded role, he also will have to survive the rigors of more minutes in the rugged Big Ten. Hes already been slowed by a bad ankle, an injury he insists wont keep him down long. But because ankle injuries can linger, getting healthy before the Nov. 11 season opener against McNeese State will be crucial for Haas.WHAT TO WATCHPurdue has four marquee non-conference matchups: Nov. 14 at home against defending national champion Villanova, Nov. 30 at Louisville, Dec. 6 against Arizona State in New York and Dec. 17 against Notre Dame in Indianapolis. Statewide fans may also be in interested in the Nov. 18 contest against Georgia State, which marks the return of former IUPUI coach Ron Hunter.---Online: AP College Basketball site: http://collegebasketball.ap.org/ Air Max 270 Hombre .

I was terrified when I sat down to interview Claressa Shields for Another Round. It was the first interview I ever conducted without my co-host and I wanted to do a good job. I wanted a solid, fair, interesting interview, and I worried that I would fail because the little that I do know about sports isnt about boxing -- beyond knowing that my hometown hero, Muhammad Ali, is The Greatest.But I relaxed soon after we sat. It wasnt hard. I didnt need sports lingo or quickly memorized boxing stats. Our conversation flowed quick and easy because we speak the same language, the tongue of black girls who were once asked to make themselves softer for the sake of the world around them, whose neighborhoods, offices and entire worlds might as well be boxing rings because we have been fighting our whole lives. We talked about her childhood in Flint, Michigan, her family, her struggles and her joys, and I beamed looking at this young sister who already has so much figured out.What Claressa does in the ring is a manifestation of what all women do outside of it, and she does it superbly. What makes her a force in the ring -- her strength, power, intuition, poise -- all came from where and who she comes from, and she knows that. She pulls no punches, if youll pardon the pun, about who she is. Shes strong and soft and happy and fearsome and focused and sharp and deft. Shes a child of God and a child of Flint. She is everything at once and she isnt compromising, and it makes my heart leap to see.In a world obsessed with authenticity, whos real and whos fake, its the person who lives with no regrrets who earns the title of realest. Air Max 97 Italy Flag. She knows who she is and expects us to accept that, and she is right to. Chimamanda Adichie says in We Should All Be Feminists (and at the beginning of Beyonces Flawless), We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. Claressa flat out refuses to honor this request, and when a woman does that, it is a revolutionary act.Im the best, she said several times in our interview. I want you to hit me. I want to see what you can do. Your favorite punch becomes my favorite punch. I believe her, and I believe in her right to believe it of herself. Women arent given the permission to brag on themselves and their strengths the way men are. When women, especially women of color, dare to publicly admit that we know our worth and our value, were accused of not being humble enough. With every swing she takes in the ring, Claressa fights against that. And she is winning.Claressa is unapologetically black, unapologetically female, unapologetically herself.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- John Daly birdied the final five holes Friday in the Toshiba Classic, leaving him three strokes behind fellow senior newcomer Billy Mayfair and 62-year-old Jay Haas.Making his 14th PGA Tour Champions start since turning 50 in April, Daly finished with a 4-under 67 at Newport Beach Country Club after playing the front nine in even par and dropping a stroke on 13.This course, you short-side yourself, you can make some big numbers, but its a golf course that if I keep hitting the driver straight, you can score, Daly said.

But the full shots are OK, and luckily thats what I had coming down the stretch today.Haas, the 2007 winner, birdied the final hole to match Mayfair at 64.Ive always played this course well, said Haas.
