THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. Kent Perkins Jersey . -- Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley was a full participant in practice on Friday, and though the team has officially listed him as questionable, the expectation remains that Gurley will play against the New York Jets on Sunday.I feel pretty good today, Gurley said after practice. Ill just leave it at that.Gurley, listed with a thigh injury, sat out practice Wednesday?and the Rams have their off days Thursday. They are not mandated to release an injury report from their Tuesday practice because the vast majority of teams are off that day.Defensive tackle Michael Brockers (groin), and cornerbacks Trumaine Johnson (ankle) and Lamarcus Joyner (back) were also full participants in practice and are all listed as questionable. The Rams played all 22 of their original starters against the Carolina Panthers last week and are expected to do so again from MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, an uncommon level of health for this juncture of the season.Teams are losing starters all over the league and were not, Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. With a healthy football team, you get a chance to make a move.Gurley was held to 451 rushing yards in the first half, on pace for 204 fewer than a 2015 rookie season in which he started only 12 games. The 22-year-old ranks 40th among 42 qualified running backs in yards per rush (3.09) and 41st in average rushing yards before first contact (1.44).Gurley, who has been limited to 41 carries over the last three games, expressed the need for remaining patient and not trying to do too much.Even when the hole is not there, Gurley said, still being able to just read it the same, and dont try to do nothing outside of the play.Asked how his body feels, considering he benefitted from a full training camp, Gurley said: I feel like this year, my body has been a lot healthier.

PARIS -- Le Monde newspaper says it has obtained documents showing that a former IAAF official received two payments totaling about $3.

Christian Benteke notched a brace on his 26th birthday and Crystal Palace snapped a six-game losing streak with their 3-0 victory over Southampton on Saturday at Selhurst Park.Benteke opened the scoring in the 33rd minute, and the Eagles (4-2-8) quickly added another three minutes later when James Tomkins took advantage of some shoddy Saints work defending a set piece-corner. Benteke, the high-priced striker who came over from Liverpool, had not scored at home all season but added his second goal there to secure the victory in the 85th minute off another corner and nifty set-up from Jason Puncheon.The victory alsoo ended a seven-match winless slide for Palace, who had not won since beating Sunderland 3-2 on Sept.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. Air Max Saldi Zalando . -- Eskenformoney finally got her much-deserved first graded stakes victory by wearing down an embattled and dead game Curlins Approval to register a three-quarter-length victory in Saturdays Grade 3 Rampart at Gulfstream Park.Eskenformoney, a daughter of Eskendereya owned by Star Ladies Racing, had been graded stakes-placed five times in her career going into her 4-year-old finale. Finally breaking through after tripping out beautifully under regular rider Javier Castellano, who kept her perfectly placed behind Curlins Approval and her own stablemate Genre in the 1-1/16-mile Rampart.Curlins Approval and Genre slugged it out on the lead through splits of 23,53, 45.64 and 1:09.71 for the opening six furlongs, with Eskenformoney poised to strike while being kept little more than a length off the pace from the outset. Castellano sent Eskenformoney up three wide to challenge the embattled leaders turning into the stretch, his filly finally wearing down Curlins Approval inside the eighth pole before maintaining a safe advantage to the end.Curlins Approval, who surprisingly went postward as the odds-on, 1-2 favorite, turned in a huge effort in defeat in her two-turn debut. She withstood the early challenge from Genre, then briefly resisted the winner before ultimately succumbing near the end. It was another 1-1/2 lengths back to the tiring Genre in third.Eskenformoney paid $13.20 after negotiating the distance in 1:35.47 over a fast track.Talking to Johnny and Javier before the race, they said it looks like you wanted to be involved early, Pletcher said. The strategy was to come out running with both of them, and Genre just came out showing a little more natural speed. But Javier made a conscious effort to stay as close as he could, and it worked out.Pletcher said he was happy Eskenformoney finally became a graded stakes winner after several frustrating near misses at 3 and 4.It was nice to see, she really deserved it, Pletcher said. She knocked on the door several times this summer and just missed, and did so as a 3-year-old. She seems to like Gulfstream, shes always seemed to run well here, and it was good to see her finally pick up a graded win. Nike Air Max 1 Saldi . -- Devin Hester is done returning kicks in Chicago.

CLEVELAND -- Prodding her party, Caitlyn Jenner said Wednesday it was easier to come out as transgender than as a Republican and conceded Democrats promote more inclusive policies. Wholesale Saints Jerseys .Jenner, the Olympic gold medalist and transgender activist, gently chastised Republicans as she spoke at a brunch on the sidelines of the Republican National Convention. She told the pro-LGBT American Unity Fund that shes urged Republicans including Donald Trump to create a safe environment for children who are transgender.I get it. The Democratic Party does a better job when it comes to the LGBT community, the trans community, all that kind of stuff, Jenner said.In an unusual moment for a GOP gathering, she received a smattering of applause when she praised President Barack Obama for advancing LGBT rights and for eliminating the ban on transgender people serving openly in the military.Jenners appearance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, just blocks from where Republicans are holding their convention to nominate Trump, illustrated the divisions within the party as it works to expand its appeal to LGBT voters and their supporters in the general election. Though Trump has been more supportive of gay rights than most of his White House challengers, there have been few public calls for more inclusivity during the four-day gathering in Cleveland.Earlier this year, Trump drew attention for saying that Jenner could use whatever restroom she wanted in one of his luxury buildings, a position that came as Republicans in several states were pushing laws forcing people to use the restroom that corresponds to their gender at birth. Jenner later took up Trump on his offer, using the womens room without incident at the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Manhattan.Youre creating laws for a non-issue, Jenner said. We dont have a problem here.Its a position at odds with the GOP platform, adopted at the convention on Monday, which preserves language that criticizes the Obama administration for directing schools to allow transgender students to use restrooms matching their gender identity. Montel Williams, the TV host, called that part of the platform inexcusably hostile to the LGBT community.We think weve made so much progress and were right back where we started, said Williams, who is black. If you remember, just because of the color of my skin, there were bathrooms I couldnt go in, water fountains I couldnt drink from.Jenner said the bathroom issue had been used politically for many, many, many, many years. She added that shed personally experienced no issues with which bathroom to use.I havent used the mens room in a year and a half, said Jenner, who transitioned to her new identity from Bruce Jenner last year. And thank God, because there are some great conversations going on in the ladys room, OK?Opponents have warned that men would use it as an excuse to enter womens rooms to prey on girls. Jenner noted that Former Idaho Sen. Larry Craig, former Mississippi Rep. Jon Hinson and former Florida state Rep. Bob Allen -- all Republicans -- had been arrested for lewd behavior in mens restrooms, during a time in which no transgender people were arrested for using the wrong bathroom.Maybe what we should do is ban Republican representatives at a state level from being in the mens room, Jenner said.---Reach Josh Lederman on Twitter at http://twitter.com/joshledermanAP Will Clapp Jersey .

Calgary scored on the first shift, and Michael Cammalleri scored twice as the Flames cruised to a 5-2 win over the Washington Capitals on Saturday. PHILADELPHIA -- On Nov. 21, 1976, audiences met Rocky Balboa, the southpaw boxer from south Philadelphia. Four decades later, Sylvester Stallones lovable character resonates with fans drawn to his underdog tale of determination, grit and sleepy-eyed charm.The reach of Rocky is international, and the film serves as a slice of Americana. It is shorthand for Philadelphia as much as the Liberty Bell or Benjamin Franklin.Anytime we are speaking to overseas visitors ... the conversation always turns, at some point, to `Rocky, said Julie Coker Graham, president of the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau. They ask, `Have you met Rocky? A lot of them think its an actual, real-life person.On the films 40th anniversary, a few reasons for its enduring legacy:---LOVABLE UNDERDOGWritten by Stallone in three days, fans fell hard for the ballad of Rocky Balboa. For the uninitiated (SPOILER ALERT): The small-time boxer from the heavily Italian neighborhood of South Philly stumbles into a bout with the heavyweight champion of the world, Apollo Creed, fighting in the city to celebrate Americas bicentennial. To get him into fighting shape, Rocky (played by Stallone) is trained by the peppery Mickey Goldmill (Burgess Meredith), whose many one-liners make him a frequent scene stealer. Rocky also finds love in the film with sheepish neighborhood pet store clerk, Adrian (Talia Shire). Though he ultimately loses the fight, Rocky proves himself and wins Adrians heart, making him the winner of much more than a title.The film itself was a long shot, made on a budget of only $1 million and shot in 28 days, with a largely unknown cast, including Stallone himself. And it was shot in working-class Philadelphia, a city that -- despite its roots as the crucible of freedom -- had long had a chip on its shoulder as second-tier as compared to more cultured East Coast metropolises like New York and Boston. (It is worth noting that the film had its premiere in New York.)---CHEERS FOR ROCKYWhat the movie lacked in beauty, it made up for in heart, something that resonated with audiences worldwide. The film was the highest-grossing of the year, earning $117 million at the North American box office and another $107 million overseas. Rocky received 10 Oscar nominations in nine categories at the Academy Awards, winning three: best picture, best director (John G. Archie Manning Jersey. . Avildsen) and best film editing. Stallone, Burgess and Shire were all nominated in acting categories, and Stallone was nominated for his screenplay.Rocky is preserved in the Library of Congress National Film Registry as being culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant. It was also ranked one of the greatest sports films ever made and is the second-best film about boxing behind Raging Bull, according to the American Film Institute.---GONNA FLY NOWThe score for Rocky, which was also nominated for an Oscar, was penned by Bill Conti. The main song, Gonna Fly Now, was originally intended as filler for the training sequence marking Rockys journey from amateur to contender. The opening fanfare is among the most recognizable in American culture, and the soaring melody that plays on the melancholic theme woven throughout the movie is the backdrop to Rocky doing impressive one-armed pushups, punching meat in his girlfriends brothers butcher shop and running through Philadelphias Italian Market, along the Schuylkill River and past the shipyards.Conti went on to win an Oscar for his score to 1983s The Right Stuff and made music recognizable to millions in theme songs to Dynasty and Falcon Crest.---THE ROCKY STEPS AND STATUEThe montage climaxes in one of the films most memorable scenes, as Rocky bounds up the 72 steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, raising his arms in triumph. Four decades later, the run and pose atop the steps are re-created daily in Philadelphia, mostly by tourists. In 1982, a statue of Rocky commissioned by Stallone for Rocky III was placed in the spot where he stood in the original film. Its current home is just to the right of the steps and is a selfie stop for visitors.---ROCKYS NEXT CHAPTERThe original movie was followed by six sequels. In 2015, Rocky was reborn in Creed, the story of Adonis Creed, the son of his nemesis-turned-best friend, Apollo. An aging and dying Rocky trains Adonis for a brawl not unlike the grizzled boxers first fight nearly two generations earlier. The New York Times reviewed it as a dandy piece of entertainment, soothingly old-fashioned and bracingly up-to-date.

NEW YORK -- James Harden and the Houston Rockets spent plenty of energy trying to knock off the champs. Kevin Johnson Jersey . They had more than enough left a night later.Harden had 30 points and 15 assists, and Houston routed the New York Knicks 118-99 on Wednesday night.Were a special group and were fairly new, Harden said, so the more were going to continue to build and do things and play the right way no matter who were playing, the better off well be.The NBAs leader coming into the day with 11.8 assists per game, Harden toyed with the Knicks defense, setting up teammates for lobs or open 3-pointers as the Rockets easily bounced back from a 128-120 loss in Cleveland on Tuesday.Eric Gordon added 21 points for Houston, which has won seven straight at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks havent defeated the Rockets at home since Jan. 26, 2009, so long ago that their coach was current Houston coach Mike DAntoni.Harden also grabbed six rebounds, a night after he had 41 points and 15 assists. And the Rockets got a boost from their bench, particularly Montrezl Harrell, who had 17 points and 10 rebounds.Those guys helped us keep going and then James is James, DAntoni said. Hes really good and I think he can play every night.Carmelo Anthony scored 21 points for the Knicks, who besides their poor defense also heard loud boos for their rebounding and turnovers in a dismal performance.If we dont start playing defense, were going to keep getting smacked like this, guard Derrick Rose said. It comes with effort. It comes with everybody being on the same page.The Knicks were also playing for the second straight night, but only they appeared to have tired legs. Houston quickly extended a 33-25 lead after one quarter into double digits and was ahead 68-51 at halftime.Gordon opened the third quarter with a 3-pointer to make it a 20-point game and Harden closed it with another 3 that sent the Rockets to the fourth quarter with a 100-78 lead.TIP-INSRockets: C Nene sat out to rest on the second night of the Rockets back-to-back. ...

Dekker went to the court again moments later after Kyle OQuinn blocked his shot.HORNACEK IN HOUSTON?Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek, after being fired in Phoenix, interviewed for the Houston job last spring before the Rockets hired DAntoni. With Harden in place and believing Ryan Anderson would sign there, Hornacek was interested. Obviously the pieces theyve added have made them dynamic on the offensive end, Hornacek said. Theyre going to be hard to stop and so when you look around at jobs and they call you and want to talk, that was great.CHICAGO IS HIS KIND OF TOWNRose was hoping the World Series went to the Cubs, who had his son, 3-year-old Derrick Jr., throw out a first pitch earlier this season. On Friday, the Chicago native will be hoping to beat the Bulls in his first game against his former team. He expects a mixed reception from fans.

Arnold Palmer charged across the golf course and into Americas living rooms with a go-for-broke style that made a country-club sport popular for the everyman. Cheap Astros Jerseys Authentic . At ease with presidents and the public, he was on a first-name basis with both.He never lost that personal touch. Thats what made him the King.Palmer died Sunday in Pittsburgh at 87. Alastair Johnston, the CEO of Arnold Palmer Enterprises, said Palmer was admitted to the UPMC Hospital on Thursday for cardiovascular work and weakened over the last few days. Palmer was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1997, which was caught early.Arnold transcended the game of golf, Jack Nicklaus said. He was more than a golfer or even great golfer. He was an icon. He was a legend.President Barack Obama tweeted: Heres to The King who was as extraordinary on the links as he was generous to others. Thanks for the memories, Arnold.Palmers place in golf history went well beyond his seven major championships and 62 PGA Tour wins. His good looks, devilish grin and hard-charging style of play made the elite sport appealing to all. He arrived about the time television moved into most households.If it wasnt for Arnold, golf wouldnt be as popular as it is now, Tiger Woods said in 2004 when Palmer played in his last Masters. Hes the one who basically brought it to the forefront on TV.Palmer also was a pioneer in sports marketing, paving the way for many athletes to reap in millions from endorsements. Some four decades after his last PGA Tour win, he ranked among golfs highest-earners.It is not an exaggeration to say there would be no modern-day PGA Tour without Arnold Palmer. There would be no PGA Tour Champions without Arnold Palmer. There would be no Golf Channel without Arnold Palmer, PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem said in a statement.It was, of course, not just the victories, but how he won. He would hitch up his pants, drop a cigarette and attack the flags. With powerful hands wrapped around the golf club, Palmer would slash at the ball, twist that muscular neck and squint to see where it went.When he hits the ball, the earth shakes, Gene Littler once said.He was never dull. Consider that Palmer rallied from seven shots behind to win a U.S. Open. He blew a seven-shot lead on the back nine to lose a U.S. Open.He left behind a gallery known as Arnies Army, which began at Augusta National with a small group of soldiers from nearby Fort Gordon and grew to include legions of fans from around the globe.Palmer stopped playing the Masters in 2004 and hit the ceremonial tee shot every year until 2016, when age began to take a toll.He never won the PGA Championship, one major short of a career Grand Slam. But then, the standard he set went beyond trophies. It was the way he treated people, looking everyone in the eye with a smile and signing every autograph, making sure they were legible. He never liked The King label but it stuck.I dont relish it, he told The Associated Press in 2011. I tried for a long time to stop that, and there was no point.Palmer played at least one PGA Tour event every season for 52 consecutive years, ending with the 2004 Masters. He spearheaded the growth of the 50-and-older Champions Tour, winning 10 times.He was equally successful in business off with golf course design, a wine collection and apparel that included his famous logo of an umbrella. He bought the Bay Hill Club & Lodge upon making his winter home in Orlando, Florida. In 2007, the PGA Tour changed the tournaments name to the Arnold Palmer Invitational.Palmer was born Sept. 10, 1929, in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, the oldest of four children. His father, Deacon, became the greenskeeper at Latrobe Country Club in 1921 and the club pro in 1933.Palmer joined the PGA Tour in 1955 and captured the Canadian Open for his first title. He won four green jackets at Augusta National, the British Open in 1961 and 1962 and the U.S. Open in 1960.Palmers last PGA Tour win came in 1973 at the Bob Hope Classic. Only four other players won more PGA Tour events -- Sam Snead, Nicklaus, Woods and Ben Hogan.Palmers first wife, Winnie, died in 1999. They had two daughters, and grandson Sam Saunders plays on the PGA Tour. Palmer married Kathleen Kit Gawthrop in 2005.Details on a memorial service and burial are to be announced. Cheap MLB Jerseys . In what the team had called a retirement, Ryan said Thursday that he is resigning as chief executive of the Rangers in a move effective at the end of this month. Cheap Roy Oswalt Jersey .

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- West Virginia cornerback Rasul Douglas wanted TCU to have a taste of what the Horned Frogs did to the Mountaineers a year ago.Douglas had an interception to set up a touchdown and No. 12 West Virginia held TCU scoreless in the second half of a 34-10 win Saturday.It was the second straight blowout in the series after TCU won 40-10 last year in Fort Worth, Texas. Their first three games after joining the Big 12 in 2012 were decided on the final snap, including two that went to overtime.We owed them, Douglas said. No disrespect to them, but we owed them as a team.A retooled defense that has vastly improved over the past month is one reason why West Virginia (6-0, 3-0 Big 12) is off to its best start since winning its first seven games in 2006.I thought it was our most complete game, said West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen. It feels good to be 6-0. Its hard to win. So when you do, youve got to enjoy it a little bit.TCU (4-3, 2-2) had only five second-half possessions. Three ended in punts, Deante Gray fumbled away a kickoff and the final possession ended on downs.This one went the Mountaineers way from the start. West Virginia scored touchdowns in the games first six minutes after two TCU turnovers -- another fumbled kickoff by Gray and Douglas interception of Kenny Hill.West Virginias Skyler Howard threw four touchdowns passes, including tosses of 10, 22 and 11 yards to three different receivers to stake the Mountaineers to a 21-10 halftime lead. Helped by some impressive catches by his receivers, including KaRaun Whites diving 16-yard TD grab in the third quarter, Howard finished 16 of 23 passing for 231 yards.To have guys like that to bail you out, its great as a quarterback, Howard said. It makes your job a lot easier.West Virginia used scorinng drives of 11 and 15 plays in the third quarter to eat up most of the clock. Cheap Jose Cruz Jr. Jersey. THE TAKEAWAYTCU: With a bye week to fix an offense that was lethargic in a close win at Kansas , not much worked for the Horned Frogs against West Virginia. Hill completed 18 of 31 passes for a season-low 148 yards. TCUs 300 total yards also were a season worst.TCU was saddled with its most lopsided loss since joining the conference, surpassing a 23-point setback to Texas in 2013.The bottom line is youre not going to win any ball games if you turn the ball over, said TCU coach Gary Patterson. And if you cant move the ball, you dont score.West Virginia: The Mountaineers defense, which has nine new starters this season, is fast becoming the staple of this team. In successive weeks the Mountaineers have held high-scoring Texas Tech and TCU to their lowest point totals of the season.Our kids, I tell you, I keep saying it every week.

Nottinghamshire admit they face a fight to keep Alex Hales after two other clubs made approaches for the player. Derrick White Jersey .While Hales may appear an unlikely target in some ways - as an England opener in all three formats, his availability for county cricket is limited - such is his ability in white ball cricket, in particular, that he could prove a huge asset in a relaunched T20 competition which might well, sooner or later, become the centrepiece of the domestic season.That has quickened the interest of Essex, for one, a county with sharpened ambition under the cricket chairmanship of Ronnie Irani.Hales is out of contract at Nottinghamshire at the end of the season and, as things stand, the club have not opened contract talks with the player.We want Alex to stay, Mick Newell, Nottinghamshires director of cricket, told ESPNcricinfo. But we havent wanted to clog his mind with contract talk when he is trying to earn an England contract. We have had a couple of approaches for him from other clubs but, as an England player, people may wonder how much they are going to see of him.His game has matured. He has come to terms with practice. His general approach has improved through being around guys like Alastair Cook and Joe Root and he has learned a lot about how to prepare.It was a brave decision not to play at the start of the year. I admire that. He gave others the chance to perform and Sam Robson and Adam Lyth did that. But apart from England, he has played pretty much non-stop for three years with the Big Bash and Notts and he felt he needed a break. It was a ballsy decision.With Hales largely unavailable to Nottinghamshire anyway, the club have made moves to find a replacement batsman. As well as confirming they had made an approach for Warwickshires Varun Chopra. Essex are interested here, too. Newell also hinted they had interest in the Durham pair of Scott Borthwick and Mark Stoneman.We have put in a 28-day approach for Chopra, Newell said. And we have put in 28-day approaches for the top order batsmen who are available. Weve made contact with those counties.Meanwhile, Newell rated Warwickshire as the best team in Division One of the Championship and said they had every chance of lifting the trophy at the end of the season. Accepting that his side were on the wrong end of the game he admitted he had some relief when rain saw the final day abandoned at around lunch time.Warwickshire have so much experience and they dont have the same injuries as Yorkshire, he said. Rikki Clarke is an outstanding bowler these days and Boyd Rankin is bowling very quickly. And with Trott and Bell available all the time... I think Warwickshire might be the best team.Newell also said he hoped that Stuart Broad, who is keen to return to the England white ball teams, would be released by England to play in Nottinghamshires T20 match against Durham on Friday - and suggested that Jake Ball should also feature.Hales is already confirmed to play in the Championship match that starts at Trent Bridge on Sunday and has expressed his desire to play in both. Imran Tahir, who lands on Friday morning - having flown from the Caribbean - is also expected to play on Friday night.Ball did not reappear on the third day of Nottinghamshires Championship game at Edgbaston having carried a heavy workload on the second day. Although he reported a sore elbow, Newell said he would have been fine to bowl had a couple of wickets been required for victory.Hes been in the 12 for the last three Tests, Newell, who is also an England selector, said. There are question marks over Jimmy Anderson so Ball has to have a fine chance of being in the 12 and possibly making his debut.He surpassed what we even expected from him here. He bowled with exceptional pace; as quick as Ive seen from him. Hes up to mid to high 80s, I think.I was a bit concerned before this game as he hadnt bowled much over the previous few weeks, but hes done very well. He has a lovely action, he has worked hard in the gym and he feels ever more confident in the England environment. Im sure hell play Test cricket.With a Test debut at Lords highly likely - England look resigned to being without Anderson or Ben Stokes - Ball may well be rested from Nottinghamshires next Championship game with an eye to keeping him fresh for his Test debut. They will have Broad, Tahir and Harry Gurney back for that game.If Jake is going to get a Test call, we want him going into the best shape possible, Newell said. We will look at Jakes workload with the prospect of giving him a rest. He has bowled an awful lot. Rudy Gay Jersey . Bradwell was scheduled to become a free agent Tuesday.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruling "puts an end to my dreams of being a top player," the 27-year-old Troicki said in a statement.

LONG POND, Pa. -- One year after he was killed in a freak accident at Pocono Raceway, it was natural that Justin Wilson was in everyones thoughts this weekend, when the Verizon IndyCar Series returned to the Tricky Triangle.Wilson died on Aug. 24, 2015, when he was struck on the helmet by a piece of flying debris from a car that crashed nearly half a mile up the track. The recent death of USAC star (and occasional IndyCar racer) Bryan Clauson in a Midget car only added to the feeling of sadness hanging over the Pocono tri-oval.While the IndyCar community is reflecting this weekend on the losses of Wilson and Clauson, series officials remain focused on improving cockpit safety to minimize the chances that an incident similar to Wilsons could happen again. IndyCar has closely monitored cockpit safety advances such as the canopy developed by Don Schumacher Racing for NHRA Top Fuel drag racing cars and initiatives being explored by Formula One, including a wraparound aeroscreen and a carbon composite halo.The series faces two key challenges in proceeding with some form of cockpit protection for its open-wheel cars. The wide variety of tracks, from walled-in street courses to high-banked ovals, creates visibility and sight line issues that might preclude the use of a halo. In addition, the solution must be adaptable to the current Dallara DW-12 chassis, which is expected to be in use for at least three more years.Were working on two or three different directions, said Jay Frye, IndyCar president of operations and competition. Obviously, safety is our No. 1 priority, so its something weve been working hard at for the last six to eight months, whether its a screen or a halo or possibly some other type of idea coming out.Because what we do is so diverse, you cant maybe have just one configuration that goes across the board, he added. So were looking at all kinds of different things. We are collaborating with lots of different people to come up with what could be the best solution. Is it a 2017 initiative or a 2018 initiative? At this point, were really not sure. Obviously, we want to make sure we get it right. As soon as we get it right and ready to go, we will implement it as soon as we can.Respected orthopedic surgeon Terry Trammell, who has worked with open-wheel sanctioning bodies on safety-related matters for decades, is leading IndyCars research efforts. Trammell revealed that the latest direction of development is what he called a deflector reminiscent of the canopy on an F-16 fighter jet.?With Trammell often assisting, open-wheel sanctioning bodies have made numerous changes to the cockpit area the past two decades. CART introduced raised cockpit sides in 1996 and a year later mandated a wider cockpit area that incorporated a padded, horseshoe-shaped collar that fits over the drivers shoulders.This year, in the wake of an accident in May 2015 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, in which a suspension arm pierced the monocoque and caused serious injury to driver James Hinchcliffe, IndyCar added additional strengthening panels to the sides of the tub.The head surround in the Indy car is probably one of the most advanced features to protect against head injury because it, by itself, absorbs head impact into the head surround very well annd better now than it did even two years ago because of the evolution of what weve built into it, Trammell said. Cheap Swingman Spurs Jerseys. That whole complex system of what goes on inside the chassis, inside the tub around the driver -- we package them much better now than we did, certainly much better now than 20 years ago and really better than we did 10 years ago.The unusual nature of Wilsons accident, which occurred less than a year after Jules Bianchis fatal accident in the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix Formula One race (when his car slid under a safety vehicle tending to a wrecked car and caused a massive head injury), has made the search for a safe way to enclose the cockpit of an open-wheel car the highest priority for sanctioning bodies around the globe.But IndyCar doesnt want to rush a flawed solution into action before it can be adequately tested and proven. ??I wouldnt say were close, Frye said. Were very aggressively going after the right solution, and were probably close to coming up with a direction. But whenever you do something like that, theres a cause and effect in everything you do. So theres going to have to be some testing that goes along with it. I dont think working with an existing tub is a big issue. We deal with lots of smart people every day, so retrofitting it will not be that difficult. It just depends on what it is.Theres issues like product supply, and theres the cost. So far, weve been surprised in a good way because I think we can do some different things that are very, very good, and its going to be more economical than we thought to was going to be. So thats always a nice surprise.The one-in-a-billion randomness of Wilsons accident made his passing somewhat easier to accept for IndyCar drivers, who are generally happy with the safety record of the current car, as well as the series efforts to develop additional improvements.I think they have done a good job on safety, IndyCar Series points leader Simon Pagenaud?said. This year, they have done tremendous improvements on the cars, and theyre being proactive, which is awesome to hear for the future.Personally, Id like to have something [protecting the cockpit] because you dont like to think what could happen -- thats the nature of being a human being. I know its a dangerous sport, and its never going to be fully safe. The human body is not meant to travel more than 200 mph. But if we can do something to protect us and make it better, Im all for it.The progress that has been made over the years is even more pronounced for veteran drivers who were around to drive previous generations of Indy cars.I think the series has done a really good job with safety, said Juan Pablo Montoya, whose IndyCar career dates to 1999, when he won the CART-sanctioned series as a 23-year-old rookie. I think in the last 10, 15 years weve come a long, long way.You cant prevent everything -- its motor racing. Theres always a danger to it, and as drivers, we need to accept that. Its never going to be 100 percent, but I think theyre looking at the future and how to make it better. They care for us.As a driver, you always want more, but I think theyve done a good job.

Things get serious for both No. Justin Hardy Jersey . 21 Rhode Island and No. 24 Cincinnati this weekend.The ranked teams, both undefeated through their early tune-ups, square off Saturday at the Hall of Fame Tip-Off at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Conn.The winner likely will draw a Sunday matchup with No. 1 Duke, which opens Saturday against Penn State -- the only unranked team of the four. The losers also meet Sunday.Rhode Island improved to 3-0 on Wednesday night, fighting off local rival Brown 79-72 in a true rivalry-type battle.Playing Brown before we go to Mohegan was a great challenge for us, coach Dan Hurley said. I have great respect for (coach) Mike Martin and his program. This was the first time we were challenged. It was the first time we were in a tight game where we had to make some plays.Were happy to survive the game. Itll be good to get two days off before the next one.Cincinnati (2-0) was ranked in the 26th spot in the first hoop poll but crawled up to No. 24 this week.The rankings dont really mean nothing to us, coach Mick Cronin said. We try to get past that. We are thankful that we are ranked, but we try not to look at that little number. Cincinnati basketball is Cincinnati basketball, ranked or not. Weve just got to come ready to play.The Bearcats routed Brown 84-55, then earned a 74-51 victory over Albany on Monday in the second of their four tournament games. The Cats used a 21-4 run in the second half to put away the Great Danes.Tonight was a great game for us, Cronin said, especially with what weve got coming this weekend. We needed some resistance, some physicality, and Albany gave it to us. They really dig in on the defensive end. Theyre extremely physical legally in the low post with their body. It took us until the second half to adjust to that. We didnt play well in the first half, and thats because Albany made us look bad.Which is what Brown did to Rhode Island. But that common-opponent angle really doesnt work when you compare Brown playing on the road at Cincinnati and then hooking up in a local rivalry.We did not want to open with them, and tonight was why, Hurley said. Can this can be a real positive for us? Yes, but some guys have to accept that some guys played a little bit out of character for us tonight.The Rams easily disposed of Dartmouth and Marist, the latter as part of the tournament, before the difficult test against the Bears.After the Brown game, Hurley, clearly not pleased, left all of his players in the locker room instead of bringing two with him when he met the media. He called the defensive play of his guards pathetic.We shot damn near 60 percent from the field (57.7 percent) and we just got outhustled, said Hurley, whose team was outrebounded and yielded 16 offensive boards. I think thats why Ive got so much respect and admiration for Mike, and theyre doing it with young players, too. Matt Gono Jersey .

I only got the one game, but its not necessarily personal, Cattanach told AAP.It was a good time when I was there and I enjoyed it. I learned heaps, got along with the playing group. I was lucky enough to get one game back in the day.I wasnt bitter that nothing else happened. I enjoyed the one game and the trip to Perth, had a good time, and it was a good experience.The 32-year-old remembered the likes of former Sydney FC stars and current assistant coaches Steve Corica and Terry McFlynn keen to help develop his game as a youngster.He saw back then what they were like as on-field coaches, and believes this years A-League squad are reaping the rewards of their knowledgge. Chris Lindstrom Jersey. hey were all approachable, really welcoming. I was training there for a while and they treated me as one of them, Cattanach said.They know a lot about the game. I think it shows that their coaching staff, not just (coach Graham Arnold), how well drilled the team is this year.Theyre beating A-League teams 4-0 and doing it pretty comfortably. And its not just in the past two weeks - theyve done it all pre-season and FFA Cup as well.Despite being fortunate in avoiding clashes with A-League teams for the entire tournament, Canberra have proven a plucky defensive outfit in their run to the semi-finals.They didnt concede a goal in their three knockout meetings.However Cattanach admits that will be put to the test against a Sydney FC side oozing attacking talent, including captain Alex Brosque and imports Filip Holosko and Bobo.To say youre going to try and dominate the game is probably not going to happen, he said.Youre going to have to just hang in there and expect to do a fair bit of defending and hit them on the counter or whatever. Were under no illusions of how good they are. Theres going to be a fair bit of defending involved.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Adidas Ducks Jerseys . -- Dabo Swinney ran toward the tunnel after Clemson took yet another game down to the heart-stopping last second -- this time against rival Florida State. His shirt was drenched in sweat, but his smile, well, his smile said everything. He beamed while he high-fived fans and screamed, How about that win!Swinney finally beat Florida State 37-34?in Doak Campbell Stadium, an accomplishment that had eluded the Clemson coach his entire career. But more than that, his undefeated team survived on the road Saturday night to stay right in the College Football Playoff hunt. Was it perfect? No. Did it have to be? No. For the fifth time this season, Clemson found a way to make one more play in another close game.Theres got to be something more to it than just: Well, they got lucky, Swinney said. Thats your heart. Thats your guts. Thats your toughness. Its your whole culture of your program. Thats what it takes to win those type of games. Its a belief. Its just an undeniable will to win, and its special to be a part of.Undoubtedly, Clemson went through its schedule a season ago without as many close calls. But these Tigers have embraced the close calls, thriving at a time when most others stopped believing. But the mind-set makes sense, considering how much Clemson has used being counted out as motivation.The mantra last season? Well, nobody believed in Clemson. Though the Tigers have been favored in every game but one this year, they are still trying to find ways to make everybody else believe in them. It sure would be easier to give themselves some breathing room. But in a way, maybe Clemson doesnt want to.Its a strange bit of reverse psychology, but Clemson clearly relishes the moments when it needs to make a play to win.I dont know what to say other than this group just believes theyre going to win, Swinney said. I never thought wed lose, but, boy, we make it hard sometimes. Theres just something to be said about it. They love each other, they care about each other. They just believe somebodys going to make a play.In a wild fourth quarter that featured three lead changes, Clemson got the ball with 3:23 left, trailing 34-29. Offensive players looked at each other in the huddle. Deshaun Watson took the lead, but they all told each other, Lets be special. Lets do this. This is us.Two years ago, Clemson lost a devastating overtime game in Tallahassee that it probably should have won. Running back Wayne Gallman remembered the scene in the locker room afterward: players crying, crushed at the loss.Watson refused to let that scene play out again. With steadiness and poise, he delivered a 25-yard pass to Jordan Leggett on first down. Four plays later, he found Leggett again for a 34-yard touchdown pass and the lead.Just a great play call. Weve seen it all game. We came back to it in one of our play calls and knew it was going to work against this defense. We called it at the right time. We executed it and hit it, and the players made big-time plays in big-time moments. Thats what were about. Everyone kept believing and having faith.But Watson was not done, delivering the crucial two-point conversion pass to Mike Williams to give the Tigers a three-point lead.The defense took over and put the pressure on Florida State QB Deondre Francois. The game ended with back-to-back sacks and too many hold-your-breath moments to count.But the outcome could have easily been different. Watson threw two interceptions that Florida State converted into 14 points, and the Tigers allowed too many big runs from Dalvin Cook.Watson called his interceptions bonehead decisions that I shouldnt have made.I tried to be greedy and tried to force throws, but its something else to learn from.Going back to the season opener against Auburn, Clemson has won five games by a touchdown or less. The Tigers have been taking heat all season for being in close games, because the natural expectation was for them to pick up where they left off last season and start rolling all over again.But this is a new team with new players and the ability to survive when it feels like they should not. Whether they can keep living on the edge and continue to win remains to be seen. But with only four undefeated Power 5 teams left, it might not matter how close Clemson plays its games.If it wins -- whether by 1 point or 30 points -- then it makes the College Football Playoff as an unbeaten Power 5 champion. Swinney and his players know it, too.At the end of the day its about getting the W no matter what the scoreboard says, Watson said. Ducks Jerseys From China .

BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins have three rookie defencemen in the lineup for the Eastern Conference semifinals against the New York Rangers. Its not because they want to. Its because they have to. "As you know, were getting thin here," Bruins coach Claude Julien said on Friday, a day after Torey Krug, in his first career NHL playoff game, scored to send the game into overtime and Boston defeated the New York Rangers 3-2 in Game 1 of their best-of-seven, second-round playoff series. With veterans Dennis Seidenberg, Andrew Ference and Wade Redden injured, the Bruins used first-round draft pick Dougie Hamilton along with Krug and Mart Bartkowski on defence. Hamilton assisted on Krugs goal with 2:55 left in regulation, and Bartkowski played a career-high 26 minutes in the 3-2 victory over the Rangers. "For a coach, you couldnt ask for a better situation," Julien said on Friday, when his team took the day off to rest up for Sundays Game 2. "A lot of credit goes to the coaching staff down there (in the minor leagues) thats done a great job at preparing those guys." Julien would not say whether any of his injured players would be able to return for the second game. If not, hell continue to rely on his rookies. Hamilton, who made the team out of training camp and played 42 games in the lockout-shortened season, said it helps to know that he wont be yanked out of the lineup with one bad shift. Even if its only because the Bruins have no choice. "For all of us, its not just trying to belong, but getting that opportunity to get regular shifts. It helps you stay focused," he said. "It makes it easier when you have that confidence that you can just stay in the game and focus on the game." Hamilton, the No. 9 overall pick in the 2011 draft, had five goals and 11 assists this season while averaging about 17 minutes per game. But he moved up the depth chaart when injuries stripped the Bruins of three of their top six defencemen. Cheap Ducks Jerseys. "Weve got to remember that hes 19 years old," Julien said. "Hes made some unbelievable plays on some goals; we saw that early when he came in and we seemed in awe of that. Playoffs is another step and hes taken that step extremely well, to me." To help fill in, the Bruins called Bartkowski up from the AHL for the third time this year; he had two assists and six penalty minutes in 11 games for Boston this year. And Krug, whos played three NHL games in the past two seasons, was brought up from Providence on Tuesday after Seidenberg lasted just 37 seconds in the first-round finale over Toronto. "What weve seen from (Krug) the few games hes played with us, he doesnt seem to be intimidated by anything, or any circumstances," Julien said. "I didnt see a guy that was nervous at all. If anything, I saw a guy that was extremely confident at making the executions that he needed to make." The other change the Bruins made on defence was to rely even more heavily on Zdeno Chara. The 2009 Norris Trophy-winner, who averaged about 25 minutes per game in the regular season, has played about 30 minutes per game in the playoffs, including 35 minutes in Game 7 against the Maple Leafs and more than 38 in the opener of the Rangers series. "Hes in great shape, and hes got a couple of days here to recover. So I dont see that being an issue," Julien said. "To be honest with you, right now we dont have a choice. You deal with it the best way you can." And so do the Rangers. "With all the minutes he has, the more tired hes going to get," New York defenceman Steve Eminger said. "At the end of the day, it doesnt matter if they have six veterans (on defence). We just have to put even more pressure on them and generate more offensively."Wholeslae Jerseys NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Cheap MLB Jerseys Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Cheap College Jerseys Cheap Football Jerseys Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
