NEW YORK -- Jimmy Howards coach couldnt stop raving about the goaltenders performance. Albert Pujols Jersey .Jimmy stole the game, Detroit coach Jeff Blashill said of Howard, whose 32-save effort led the Red Wings to a 2-1 victory over the New York Rangers on Wednesday night. Jimmy had one of the best performances Ive seen out of any goalie at any level.After beginning the season with two straight losses, the Red Wings have won consecutive games.Thomas Vanek and Drew Miller scored for Detroit, which improved to 2-2-0, and it has Howard to thank for their latest win as New York had the better of play for wide stretches. The Rangers outshot Detroit 33-18 and Howard was forced into making highlight reel stops to keep the Red Wings in the game.We cant play like this if we want to win, Detroits Henrik Zetterberg said. We found a way to win.Even after spotting the Rangers a quick lead.New York led 1-0 as Mika Zibanejad redirected Ryan McDonaghs slap shot from the right point past Howard 1:09 into the game. The Rangers carried the 1-0 lead into the first intermission, following an opening 20 minutes in which they outshot the Red Wings 14-7.We were terrible in the first, Zetterberg saidZibanejads goal accounted for all of New Yorks offense, and the Rangers have alternated wins and losses through their first four games.Their lead could have been larger as Jimmy Vesey and Brady Skjei had shots that hit goal posts late in the first, and Michael Grabner, Rick Nash and Mats Zuccarello all misfired on quality scoring chances in the first three minutes of the second period.We hit a hot goaltender, Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said. We had five or six breakaways we were unable to finish. Give him credit.New Yorks inability to convert and Howards play proved costly when Vanek tied the game 6:15 into the second with a power-play goal.The game remained tied until 59 seconds into the third period. Luke Glendenings forecheck forced Henrik Lundqvist into committing a turnover behind his net, and Miller fired a shot into the net before the New York goaltender could fully recover for his first goal of the season.It came down to that play where I find our `D on the backside. It happens, said Lundqvist, who, made 16 saves on 18 shots. Lundqvist later added he made a bad read there behind the net but Im not going to stop going behind the net (because) I think I help the `D a lot with the way I play the puck.Jester Fast appeared to tie the game with 3:38 left in regulation by redirecting Kevin Kleins shot from the point, but the goal was immediately disallowed as the New York wing had played it with a high stick.Game notes New York D Dan Girardi (strained groin) and LW Pavel Buchnevich (back spasms) each missed their second straight game with injuries, while Rangers D Kevin Klein dressed for the first time this season. He did not play in the Rangers first three games due to back spasms. New York also scratched D Dylan McIlrath. ... The Red Wings scratched D Ryan Sproul and C Steve Ott. ...

Lack made 20 saves for his third shutout of the season as the Canucks blanked the St. Louis Blues 1-0 in the first post-Olympic game for both teams night. BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Dmitry Kulikov was initially excited upon learning the Florida Panthers had acquired and then signed free-agent defenseman Keith Yandle to a long-term contract last week.Little did Kulikov realize that Yandles addition would lead to him being the odd man out a few days later, when the Panthers traded the seventh-year defenseman to the Buffalo Sabres.I was comfortable with Florida, Kulikov said during a telephone conference call Tuesday. I didnt think that something like that was going to go down. But it did. Its part of the business. And Im excited for the future.Kulikov, 25, took the move in stride because his role as a top-four defenseman isnt expected to diminish in Buffalo. By acquiring Kulikov in a trade made early in the second round of the NHL draft on Saturday, the Sabres addressed a critical need by adding a left-shooting defenseman.Though Buffalos defensive pairings wont be set until training camp, Kulikov is expected to open next season playing alongside either Rasmus Ristolainen or Zach Bogosian.Its a familiar role for Kulikov, who averaged more than 21 minutes of playing time per game over the past five seasons.Im happy to take on that responsibility, said Kulikov, who spent much of last year playing alongside Aaron Ekblad. I think change is sometimes for the best. Maybe whatever happens, happens for a reason. So maybe Im meant to be in Buffalo.In exchange for Kulikov, the Panthers acquired defenseman Mark Pysyk, who struggled establishing a regular role during four seasons in Buffalo. The teams also swapped second-round draft picks in a move that helped the Panthers free up $3. Justin Upton Jersey. 25 million in salary cap space.Kulikov is in the final year of his contract, and eligible to become an unrestricted free agent next summer.He played more of a defensive role in his recent seasons in Florida, which selected him in the first-round of the 2009 draft. He had one goal and 16 assists in 74 games last season. Kulikovs career high for goals is eight, in 2013-14, and points is 28, in 2011-12.The Sabres believe Kulikov has more offensive potential, and were impressed with his goal and three assists in Floridas first-round playoff series loss to the New York Islanders in April.Kulikov believes he can up his offense, too.I havent been as productive as I wanted to be in the NHL and, obviously, I want to grow in that part of the game, he said. Im just happy for a fresh start and happy for the opportunity in Buffalo.Kulikov isnt expected to be the only new offseason addition for the rebuilding Sabres, who intend to be active once the NHLs free-agency period opens Friday. Buffalo is among a number of teams that have already expressed interest in center Steven Stamkos, should the Lightning captain not re-sign with Tampa Bay.Kulikov is intrigued by who Buffalo might add.The more better players were going to bring into the organization, the more successful were going to be, and the faster were going to be successful, Kulikov said.

English Premier League leaders Chelsea took the spoils at the Stadium of Light on Wednesday night in an eventful game that saw the only goal scored by Cesc Fabregas. Andre Johnson Jersey .As expected, the home side set out their stall on the defensive for most of the encounter hoping to contain the powerful Chelsea forward line and grab something on the break.With Chelsea increasingly dominant, the crucial breakthrough came on 40 minutes. A neat one-two around the area between Fabregas and Willian saw the former advance and curl his shot beyond Jordan Pickford.The second half began with the visitors still probing and looking the more likely to add to their lead. David Moyes made a couple of changes around the hour mark which gave Sunderland only minimal extra impetus.Toward the 90-minute mark, it was Pickford still the busier of the two goalkeepers, but in the dying seconds Thibault Courtois crucially pulled off the save of the game by beating out a Patrick Van Aanholt effort which seemed destined for the top corner.Chelsea remained at the top of the pile, and Sunderland are still adrift at the bottom.

The veteran safety was a starter for the Bengals from 2008-2012. He totaled 41 tackles and three interceptions while starting all but four of the 13 games he played last season. AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas says nothing has been decided on football coach Charlie Strong.Longhorns athletic director Mike Perrin, in the face of swirling reports that school officials had decided to fire Strong at the end of a third bad season, dismissed them as rumors and said the coach would be evaluated after playing TCU on Friday.Perrin, who has been publicly supportive of Strong all season, didnt say Strong would return.There are a number of rumors out there about the status of Coach Strong. Ive said it all along, we will evaluate the body of work after the regular season. We have a game to get ready for against TCU on Friday, and I hope our fans will come out and support our team. Well discuss where things stand after that, Perrin said.That sets up an awkward Monday for Strong when he addresses reporters on the Big 12 coaches conference call, and then later at his weekly campus news conference, which is televised by the Longhorn Network.Texas President Greg Fenves, who has also been supportive of Strong this season, was silent on the coachs future Sunday.With top administrative support, Strong appeared relatively safe until Saturdays 24-21 overtime loss at lowly Kansas. Texas (5-6, 3-5 Big 12)) held an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter.Perrin refused to address reporters after the loss, and Strong, with his wife weeping outside the team lockerroom, said he didnt know what the loss would mean for his future.No, I dont. No idea, Strong said.But Strong was back at work Sunday. A team spokesman said Strong and his staff kept to their routine of meeting Sunday morning to review game film and start preparations for the next game.Strong is in the third year of a five-year contract, but not even a $10 million buyout could be enough to save him. He has failed to take the program to the same heights he took Louisville. He is 16-20 at Texas and in danger of finishing with his third straight losing season.His only bowl appearance came in 2014, when the Longhorns lost to Arkansas in the Texas Bowl.Youre upset. You never want this to happen, said Texas quarterback Shane Buechele, who threw an interception on the first possession of overtime that allowed Kansas to kick the winning field goal. Christian Covington Jersey. .You have to get everyone to rally back. Were a family in there, Buechele said, before adding of Strong: Were going to fight for him this next game.The Longhorns have shown some fight this season, beating Notre Dame in double overtime to open the season, ever-so-briefly giving Strong a reprieve from all the critics.But close losses at California, Oklahoma State and in the Red River Rivalry against Oklahoma put an end to any fuzzy feelings. Another close loss to Kansas State a couple of weeks later combined with last weeks 24-20 loss to West Virginia put his job in peril.Nothing could be more damaging than a loss to the Jayhawks, though.Kansas hadnt beaten a Football Bowl Subdivision school since 2014, and hadnt won a conference game in 19 tries. The Jayhawks only win in nearly two seasons under coach David Beaty was against lower-level Rhode Island in the season opener, and the Longhorns had handled them in their last 13 meetings.Yet four turnovers in the second quarter got the Longhorns in trouble, and more missteps down the stretch allowed Kansas to overcome a 21-10 deficit and force overtime in the final seconds of regulation.Matthew Wymans 25-yard field goal sent Strong striding off the field.This one hurts, Texas wide receiver Jacore Warrick said. Everyone is disappointed. We wanted to come out. We wanted to play well. Ultimately, no matter what happens throughout the game, the end result, we want to be a W. And its not. We could have put the game away early.Asked about his coachs future, Warrick replied simply: Trying not to think about it.---AP Sports Writer Dave Skretta in Lawrence, Kansas, contributed to this report.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Jerseys NFL China Wholesale Jerseys 2020 Wholesale Jerseys 2018 Discount NFL Jerseys ' ' '

Bradwell was scheduled to become a free agent Tuesday. Born and raised in Toronto, Bradwell is entering his sixth CFL season, with all six played for his hometown Argonauts. LONDON -- When the judo events kick off at the Rio de Janeiro Games, the home team will send out a defending Olympic champion on the first day of competition.With five other top-ranked judoka on its Olympic team, Brazil has a particularly strong home advantage. Although judo has traditionally been dominated by the Japanese, who created the modern martial art, the combat sport has become truly universal. That means the Japanese team, which won only a single gold medal at London in its worst-ever Olympic showing -- is no longer the favorite.Marius Vizer, president of the International Judo Federation, said he expects to see more unexpected winners at Rio.I think Mongolia will be the big surprise of the Olympic games, he said. Vizer also noted strong fighters from the U.S., Greece, Georgia, France, Russia, Cuba and South Korea. There will also be two refugee competitors, from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, competing under the International Olympic Committee flag.Vizer said some rule changes to judo -- including the outlawing of leg grabs -- were made to distinguish the sport from others like wrestling and will hopefully inspire more fighters to attempt the big throws judo is known for. Fights can be won instantly if judoka flip their opponents flat on their back with considerable force and speed.While some have criticized the rule changes arguing that they favor the Japanese style of judo, which focuses on throws rather than the groundwork component of judo, Vizer said the tweaks are necessary to modernize the sport.Countries with a strong wrestling tradition, such as those in Eastern Europe and Brazil, have typically produced judo fighters who win once judo fighters end up on the ground. Thats when competitors struggle to either pin their opponents for 20 seconds or force them to tap out by applying a stranglehold or an armbar, a move where the limb is hyperextended to the point it might break.In light of the Russia doping scandal, Vizer said that no sanctions were handed to Russian judoka and that clean Russian athletes should have a chance just like other clean athletes from any other country in a statement. Russias Presiddent Vladimir Putin is the honorary president of the judo federation. Wholesale MLB Brewers Jerseys. RETURNING STARFrenchman Teddy Riner is simply the most successful judoka of all time. The 27-year-old heavyweight has won a record eight world championship titles, five European titles and two Olympic medals, including a gold at the London games. At 6-foot-8 inches, Riner strikes an imposing figure on the judo mat but moves surprisingly fast for a heavyweight. Riner tends to dominate by throwing his big right arm over his opponents head to take control of the fight, and very few of his competitors have been able to prevent Riner from securing a dominant grip on their uniforms.BEST RIVALRYAfter becoming the first American to win a judo gold medal, Kayla Harrison will be looking to defend her title in Rio. Her biggest roadblock might be longtime rival Brazilian Mayra Aguiar, who defeated Harrison at a Paris competition earlier this year with a match-ending throw. The two have now fought 16 times -- and split the victories evenly. At a world cup final in Sao Paolo several years ago where Harrison won over Aguiar on penalties, she was booed by the local crowd. Harrison described Brazilian judo fans as wild after the experience. Good thing I dont speak Portuguese, because if I did, I might cry.OLYMPIAN EFFORTTwo judoka athletes from the Democratic Republic of the Congo will be fighting as part of the IOC refugee team in Rio. Yolande Bukasa Mabika will be competing in the womens 70-kilogram division and Popole Misenga will be fighting in the mens 90-kilogram division. The two are currently training in Brazil. Misenga sought asylum in Brazil when he arrived to compete in the world championships being held there and credits the technical training he has received with making him a better fighter.You cant let people think that just because they are refugees, they have to stop what theyre doing, he said. Even though they are refugees, they need to continue practicing their sport.---Rachel Cohen in New York contributed to this report.

Barry Geraghty had his 30-day ban for his ride on Noble Emperor at Limerick quashed on Monday evening after a lengthy appeal at the Irish Turf Club. Anthony DeSclafani Jersey . The suspension would have ruled him out of riding at next weeks Punchestown Festival.The Gold Cup-winning jockey was hit with the ban after finishing second aboard the Tony Martin-trained eight-year-old in the www.limerickraces.ie Handicap Hurdle on April 3, a race won by Velocity Boy, who made all having opened up a big advantage on the field from an early stage. Acting under Rule 212, which governs running and riding, the local stewards were of the opinion Geraghty had failed to take all reasonable and permissible measures to obtain the best possible placing, banning him for 30 days, with the horse prevented from running for 60 days and Martin fined 3,000 euro.Martin appealed against his fine and owner JP McManus the horses 60-day ban, with those appeals also successful as the appeal board agreed to overturn the original verdict and exonerate all parties, after a hearing that lasted over three hours.Evidence was heard from Geraghty, Martin, Patrick Kennedy for McManus, journalist Donn McClean and fellow jockey Brian OConnell.Geraghty told the appeal board at the Turf Club that he would have been more likely to finish fifth than second had he tried to go with Velocity Boy and that the horses that had tried to go with the winner had paid the price.

FRISCO, Texas -- The issue is no longer whether Dak Prescott will start ahead of a healthy Tony Romo for Dallas.Now the question is how far the Cowboys can go with a rookie quarterback after they tied a franchise record with their eighth straight win and a few hours later ended up with the NFLs best record when New England lost to Seattle.Prescotts performance in the fourth quarter of a wild 35-30 win at Pittsburgh stole any of the surprise there might have been with owner and general manager Jerry Jones declaring afterward that Romo would be the backup Sunday at home against Baltimore (5-4).It will be a few days shy of a year since the last time the 36-year-old Romo was active for a game. And it has been 10 years since Romo, who broke a bone in his back in a preseason game, wasnt the Dallas starter.The teams longest same-season winning streak since Roger Staubach took Dallas to the Super Bowl 39 years ago makes the decision easy.Its just going with the obvious, Jones said. I get asked about it every time I open my mouth. Its not hard. Its not hard at all. Tony would make the same decision.Prescott directed two 75-yard touchdown drives in the fourth quarter with the Cowboys (8-1) trailing the Steelers by a point each time. While fellow standout rookie Ezekiel Elliott finished both with touchdown runs , Prescott made several big throws.On the winning drive that started with 42 seconds left after the Steelers went ahead, Prescott completed a 13-yarder to Jason Witten one play before another completion to the tight end ended with a facemask penalty that put the Cowboys in field-goal range before Elliotts winning run with 9 seconds remaining.Dallas trailed most of the game in part because of a lost fumble by Prescott early.Thats one of the most important parts of that position is to be able to handle the adversity of it, coacch Jason Garrett said. Billy Hamilton Jersey. From series to series, from quarter to quarter, half to half and throughout the ballgame, youve just got to keep banging away.Elliotts numbers are getting more attention because hes the NFL rushing leader (1,005 yards) and has a shot at Eric Dickersons rookie record (1,808 yards in 1983). But Prescott is completing 67 percent of his passes with 14 touchdowns and two interceptions.The 23-year-old from Mississippi State -- a fourth-round pick after the Cowboys couldnt pull of a trade for Paxton Lynch, who went to Denver in the first round -- has road wins over a pair of Super Bowl champions in Green Bays Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers Ben Roethlisberger.And Prescott essentially outdueled Roethlisberger, who threw for 408 yards and executed a fake-spike touchdown pass to put the Steelers ahead in the final minute.You see what a veteran quarterback can do, Jones said. But you also see what Dak can do. That was a pretty nice little template to look at right there.A month ago, the Cowboys figured to have a touchy subject looming. Not now, says Jones.There is no fragileness about this, with the team or the coaches, Jones said. Dak is earning his way. Tony has earned his way. Both of them can play quarterback well enough to win games.And the Cowboys have upgraded the backup job, with Romo replacing Mark Sanchez.Game notes Garrett said TE Geoff Swaim will have surgery for a pectoral injury. He is expected to be out for the season. ...

Vokoun departed practice on Saturday morning after discovering swelling in his thigh. He was taken to a local hospital where the clot was revealed. The club announced the surgery following a 5-3 exhibition loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets.Still without a quarterback, having lost their leaders during free agency and with an owner renowned for his ruthless attitude to disposing of head coaches - the Cleveland Browns seem a long way from competing at the top level. The Browns havent had a winning season since 2007, and it was 2002 when the organisation last made the playoffs. Following his takeover in October 2012, owner Jimmy Haslam has seen four head coaches take charge of the franchise and since their reintroduction to the NFL in 1999, the team have had a record 24 starting quarterbacks.The inconsistency is staggering, and it doesnt take much to draw conclusions between an unsettled management team and poor results on the field. Free Agency LIVE! Latest rolling news as NFL sides recruit A frightened Johnny Manziel features in the Top 5 funny moments of 2015 Last year the Browns finished 3-13, ranking 25th in offence and 27th in defence. The head coach and general manger were both relieved of their duties as the franchise finished the season in turmoil.It feels like the team is once again starting over. Having released Johnny Manziel after two frustrating seasons, the Browns have seen their core group of influential players leave during free agency. Three time Pro-Bowl centre Alex Mack, who joined the Atlanta Falcons last Wednesday, cited his reason for leaving as the opportunity to join a winning franchise. Its hard to blame him, having gone 29-70 in seven seasons with the Browns. Tashaun Gipson, Travis Benjamin and Mitchell Schwartz have also left Ohio in search of success elsewhere. Alex Mack (right) has jumped ship and Joe Thomas could follow Its another blow for new vice-president Sashi Brown, who said at the Scouting Combine that keeping the experienced nucleus of the roster was a key task to rebuilding. With talk of trading Pro-Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas now on the cards, the squad is skeletal. Brown and head coach Hue Jackson now have a mountain to climb. The plan seems pretty clear; use the draft to develop a championship calibre side rather than splashing big money on players that care more about their wallets than their team. Browns HC Hue Jackson has an uphill struggle to build a competitive team The strategy is not unprecedented; the Packers, Bengals, Steelers and Patriots all tend to use free agency sparingly. Jeurys Familia Jersey. . However, the key difference between these organisations and the Browns is that the playoff contenders tend to lock down their stars before free agency approaches.The Browns have no starting pieces to build around, and their record in the draft in recent years has been notably poor. If things are going to change for this organisation, they need to be a little savvier in player recruitment. What do Cleveland need?Quarterback North Dakota States Carson Wentz is the top QB prospect in the draft Clevelands saving grace is that they have the No 2 pick in the draft. If they havent secured Colin Kaepernick, they are likely to have their pick of the board. Carson Wentz seems to be the stand-out choice, and Jackson is the perfect coach to develop the young talent from North Dakota State.Centre Nick Martin (No 72) of Notre Dame could be a Cleveland target Replacing Mack must be high on the Browns to do list. Developing a good relationship with the incumbent QB is pivotal in the offensive lines ability to protect the passer. They have been linked with the Jags Stefen Wisniewski but could look for a middle draft pick, potentially Notre Dames Nick Martin.Wide receiver Dwayne Bowe (No 80) was a disappointment for Browns last season Dwayne Bowe was supposed to be Clevelands big splash in last years free agency. He caught five passes and ran for a total of 53 yards throughout the season. No 1 receiver Travis Benjamin has joined the Chargers, and Jackson desperately needs to hit on a WR in the draft to give the new quarterback a legitimate weapon.Tackle Alvin Bailey (No 78) has joined Cleveland but they need more support After losing Schwartz and supposedly considering a trade for Thomas, further development of the offensive line is inevitable. Alvin Bailey signed from the Seattle Seahawks last week, giving the Browns options at either tackle or guard, but further depth is needed. One option might be Baileys former team-mate Russell Okung, who is still available as a free agent.What happens next?It is another roll of the dice for owner Haslam. In Jackson, the Browns have a talented young coach who must be allowed time to develop a philosophy and get the fan base excited again. Drafting quality is key, and changing the mindset of a losing franchise into one that is ready to compete in the AFC North. Easier said than done, but the Seahawks have provided a perfect example that with stable infrastructure, anything is possible in the NFL.

UFC boss Dana White is long on the record as being a fan of Australian middleweight Robert Whittaker. Deonte Thompson Jersey .And now he wants to give Whittaker what he wants - a top-five middleweight to fight in the UFCs hometown, Las Vegas.A win in the fight, which likely wont occur until 2017, would help the impressive Whittaker further push his claims for a shot at Briton Michael Bispings middleweight belt.Im a really big fan, White said of Whittaker on Fox Sports News 500.Actually the next move is, his next fight will be in (Las) Vegas. Ill bring him out to Vegas and hell fight one of the guys in the top five.Those guys in order are Dutchman Gegard Mousasi, former middleweight champ Chris Weidman, Brazilian Jacare Souza, another former champion, the injured Luke Rockhold and top-ranked Cuban Yoel Romero.Then of course at the top of the pile is Bisping.To get to the Brit, Whittaker, who is riding a six-fight win streak (five at middleweight), would have to win this fight and probably another but right now it seems anything is possible for the New Zealand-born fighter.Most recently Whittaker destroyed American Derek Brunson with a brutal first round knockout at UFC Fight Night Melbourne on November 26.Whittakers left jab, right head-kick combo and subsequent punches put Brunson down one fight after Whittaker survived a broken hand to defeat Rafael Natal by unanimous decision in April.The 25-year-old Whittakers form has been impressive and there is plenty of opportunity but the most likely next bout is Mousasi.Mousasi is riding a four-fight win streak and himself is coming off a win over another Whittaker victim, Uriah Hall, and their schedules align.A fight between the two has already been mooted with both fighters keen on the choice.Yeah, definitely. Hes on a winning streak, Mousasi said of Whittaker to Londons Metro news in November.Hes a guy Im looking to fight to get closer to the title shot. That would be a good fight.Whittaker is also on record as being keen on the fight.Hes a top athlete, hes a top fighter, and hes a cool dude. If thats a fight the UFC wants, thats a fight theyll get, Whittaker said after his most recent win.UFC TOP FIVE MIDDLEWEIGHTS AS POTENTIAL OPPONENTS FOR AUSTRALIAS ROB WHITTAKERYOEL ROMERO: middleweight rank 1, from Cuba, UFC record 8-0, notable other achievements: 1999 85kg world freestyle wrestling champion, Sydney 2000 Olympic silver medallist 85kg freestyle wrestling.Chances of fighting Whittaker: None, for now. Romero has only ever lost one MMA fight in his career, a 2011 Strikeforce loss to Brazils Rafael Cavalcante. He recently destroyed former champion Chris Weidman and is on track for a title fight with champ Michael Bisping as soon as March.LUKE ROCKHOLD: middleweight rank 2, from USA, UFC record 5-2, notable achievements: former UFC middleweight championChances of fighting Whittaker: Not good. Rockhold is currently rehabbing the knee injury that postponed his Melbourne bout with Jacare Souza with no set return date. Also hes seen as a logical challenger for the title and wants a fight with Jacare Souza.JACARE SOUZA: middleweight rank 3, from Brazil, UFC record 6-1, notable other achievements: former Strikeforce middleweight championChances of fighting Whittaker: Possible but unlikely. As stated above Rockhold wants Souza and Rockhold is a more direct path to the title for the Brazilian, but the UFC do have a record of pitting different styles against each other and Souzas strong submission style would be seen as a big challenge for Whittaker, one of the best at takedown defence.CHRIS WEIDMAN: middleweight rank 4, from USA, UFC record 9-2, notable achievements: former UFC middleweight championChances of fighting Whittaker: Unlikely. Weidman has said hed fight Whittaker but for Whittaker theres little advantage to fighting a former champion on a two-fight losing streak. If he wins he beat a fighter on a downward spiral, if he loses it hurts his chances of moving forward.GEGARD MOUSASI: middleweight rank 5, from Holland, UFC record 8-3, notable achievements: former Strikeforce light heavyweight championChances of fighting Whittaker: Likely: Their schedules align, they both want the fight and a win for either would put them very close to a title fight against whoever holds the belt. Much like Whittaker, Mousasi is riding an impressive win streak and the striking battle between the two could be epic. O. J. Simpson Jersey.ca!

TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie DE Noah Spence revealed to reporters Thursday that he suffered a dislocated shoulder and slight labrum tear against the Denver Broncos?on Sunday.A source close to Spence confirmed the details of the diagnosis. The second-round draft pick left the game at the end of the first half and was seen leaving the locker room with a sling on his arm.The sling has since come off, and he was on the sideline during practice Tuesday and Thursday. He has not been ruled out Monday night against the Carolina Panthers.On a positive note, defensive end Robert Ayyers, who had 9? sacks last season, was back practicing Thursday for the first time since suffering an ankle injury against the Arizona Cardinals, an injury that forced him to miss the past two games.

BOSTON -- Just when the Boston Bruins were playing some of their best defense of the season, they lose their No. John Matuszak Jersey . 1 defenseman to an injury.Captain Zdeno Chara left with an unspecified injury after taking one shift in the second period during the Bruins 4-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday.He did not join the Bruins on Wednesday for their flight to Ottawa to face the Senators on Thursday, and Claude Julien said the 2009 Norris Trophy winner was doubtful for Calgary on Friday.Chara has one goal and five assists in 19 games this season. His team-high 22:41 of ice time per game will also be difficult to replace.We just lost our best defender and teams hate playing against him, and thats the kind of impact hes got, Julien said. Now theres no individual thats going to step up and do his job more than were going to have to do it as a group.The Bruins received some positive news Wednesday, as defenseman Kevan Miller, who has missed the start of the season after fracturing his left hand, and forward David Pastrnak, who leads the Bruins with 10 goals, were cleared to play against Ottawa. Pastrnak had missed three games with an undisclosed injury.Both Miller and Pastrnak practiced on Wednesday.The Bruins have won four of their past six and eight of their past 12 games. Prior to their loss to the Blues, the Bruins had allowed two or fewer goals in five straight games, including four wins.Having Chara out of the lineup will put the onus not just on the defensemen, but the rest of the team to keep the opposition off the scoreboard.I think everybody together as a group has really come together and embraced our identity and the style of play that we want to emphasize and I think thats one of the reasons weve had success, defenseman John-Michael Liles said.Losing `Z is a big loss, but I think if we continue to play the style that weve really focused on the last little while, I think we can continue to have success.When the Bruins were without Chara because of a torn knee ligament during the 2014-15 season, they went 11-7-1.This time they will rely upon veterans such as Liles, Torey Krug and Adam McQuaid. Nineteen-year-old Brandon Carlo has thrived as Charas regular defense partner this season, and the rookie will have to figure out how to play without the captain.Carlo has two goals and two assists in 19 games and has averaged just 20 fewer seconds per game than Chara.Hes a pretty good player anyway, and he can still play in this league without Zdeno, Julien said.When youre missing your No. 1 defenseman, when youre playing with him, theres no doubt it affects you. But hes still a good enough player to overcome that.

LOS ANGELES -- Yasiel Puig is expected back in the Los Angeles Dodgers starting lineup Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Alex Avila Jersey .Puig has been limited to three pitch-hitting appearances since July 20 due to tightness in his right hamstring.Puig is hitting .255 with seven homers and 32 RBI in 272 at-bats. He flew out to center field as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning of the Dodgers 9-7 victory over Arizona on Friday night. He remained in right field for the last two innings, making one putout.He came in yesterday and pinch-hit and took a good swing on a slider, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on Saturday. I expect him to be in there tomorrow against (LHP Patrick) Corbin.This the second time this season hamstring issues have sidelined Puig, who spent from June 3 to June 21 on the disabled list with a strained left hamstring.I dont feel hes 100 percent, and every day weve given him hes gotten better and better, Roberts said. If theres a chance he could regress then Im not going to put him in there.With three off days over an eight-day span, the Dodgers elected to carry Puig on their 25-man roster instead of a fifth starter.Its just balancing the fact I dont think hes a DL, but I dont want to put him in harms way, Roberts said.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Maybe all the Carolina Panthers needed was to play someone other than the Denver Broncos.The leagues top-scoring offense from a year ago returned to form Sunday. Cam Newton threw for 353 yards and four touchdowns, and the Panthers overcame four turnovers to beat the San Francisco 49ers 46-27 in their home opener. The Panthers racked up 529 yards on offense.Carolina lost to Denver in the Super Bowl and again in a rematch in Week 1, combining to score 30 points in those games. The Panthers averaged 31.3 points per game last season.Newton threw two TD passes to Kelvin Benjamin and one each to Greg Olsen and Devin Funchess to pass Jake Delhomme for most TD passes in franchise history with 122.Newton showed no ill effects from the four helmet-to-helmet hits he took in Carolinas season-opening loss to Denver. He took one shot to the head from linebacker Eli Harold late in the game after a pitchout on an option play, but quickly got to his feet.Its one of things those things where the momentum sways the play calling, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. This game we were able to run the ball and it opened some things up. Last week (against Denver) we needed Cam to open some things up. Cam will play his role for us. This was an example of being able to keep him out of the running game for the most part.Newtons first pass was tipped and intercepted by Antoine Bethea, leading to a 49ers field goal. But the 2015 league MVP locked in after that, completing 24 of 40 passes while running for 37 yards on six carries.Olsen gave the Panthers (1-1) the lead for good in the second quarter when he hauled in a career-long 78-yard touchdown pass from Newton after the 49ers bit hard on play-action. That left the Pro Bowl tight end wide open on a seam route. Olsen finished with five catches for 122 yards.Benjamin, who missed last season with a torn ACL, finished with seven catches for 108 yards and has three TD catches on the season.Most of the DBs that were on me were small and I was able to jump and get the ball, Benjamin said. Kyle Hendricks Jersey. Bethea said the 49ers (1-1) didnt play up to par after their 28-0 performance against the Rams last week.We didnt do a great job of getting off the field on third down, Bethea said. And were going up against a very good offense. We can tackle better, too, but everything is correctable.WHAT WAS THAT?: The Panthers won despite the four turnovers, including one colossal mistake by returner Ted Ginn Jr., who failed to pick up the ball on a kickoff return. After Ginn bobbled the ball twice, the 49ers recovered at the 1-yard line and scored on the next play.FOZZY BEAR ON THE RUN: Despite losing running back Jonathan Stewart (hamstring) in the first quarter, the Panthers had no problems moving the ball against a defense that was riding high following a 28-0 win over the Rams in the season opener.Fozzy Whittaker ran for 100 yards on 16 carries and had three catches for 31 yards.Rivera said he has concerns about Stewart moving forward, but that second-year back Cameron Artis-Payne is ready for action. Artis-Payne has been inactive the last two games.GABBERTS DAY: Blaine Gabbert threw for 243 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score in the loss. Gabbert pulled the 49ers within 34-27 late with a 75-yard touchdown pass to Vance McDonald, but threw two interceptions in the games final five minutes.FIRST TOUCHDOWN: Panthers linebacker Shaq Thompson scored his first career touchdown when he scooped up Carlos Hydes fumble and returned it 9 yards to give Carolina a 7-3 lead.INJURY UPDATE49ers: Linebacker Ray-Ray Armstrong left in the second half with a shoulder injury.Panthers: Stewart was limited to 9 yards rushing on five carries when he went down in the first quarter.BY THE NUMBERSNewton reached 121 career TD passes in 2,480 attempts, while Delhomme had 120 in 2,669 attempts.

CINCINNATI -- Bryan Price is looking forward to better days with the Cincinnati Reds. Bob Feller Jersey .The last-place Reds announced Friday that Price would return next year for a fourth season as manager, and then lost 7-3 to Ben Zobrist and the Chicago Cubs.Price agreed to a one-year contract with a team option. The entire coaching staff also has been offered contracts for 2017.There is a mutual desire to stay connected, said Price, who has a 207-277 record as Cincinnatis manager. For me, its an unbelievable opportunity. It is a storied franchise. I have really enjoyed my coaches and my team.Joey Votto hit a two-run homer in the ninth for Cincinnati, which has dropped three of four. Josh Smith (3-3) was charged with two runs and three hits in five-plus innings.It was Smiths second start of the season after 30 relief appearances.I dont care what role Im in as long as Im wearing a Reds uniform, he said. I prefer to start. Ive done that all my life, but Ive kind of enjoyed my time in the bullpen, talking to guys like Tony Cingrani, who has been a starter. I have developed a routine out there.Zobrist homered twice and drove in three runs as Chicago improved to 14-3 against Cincinnati this season with two games to play. Jake Buchanan (1-0) pitched five shutout innings in his first start since 2014 with Houston.The NL Central champion Cubs, headed for the playoffs for the second straight year, announced contract extensions for general manager Jed Hoyer and player development director Jason McLeod. Their new deals run through the 2021 season, mirroring president of baseball operations Theo Epsteins contract announced on Wednesday.Smith retired his first 12 batters before Zobrist led off the fifth with a drive to right for his first homer since Sept. 12. The All-Star also connected for a two-run shot in Chicagos four-run eighth, No. 17 on the year.It was good, Smith said. I challenged hitters early and got a lot of early contact to pitch pretty deep in the game. The ball to Zobrist, I missed my spot.Chicagos first three batters reached in the sixth, chasing Smith, and Addison Russells RBI double made it 3-1.Josh kept us in the game, Price said. That four-run inning gave them the separation they needed.HISTORIC HOMERSZobrists homers were Chicagos 38th and 39th against the Reds this season, the most by one team against Cincinnati pitching in one season. The 1954 Brooklyn Dodgers and 1957 Milwaukee Braves previously shared the record with 38.EARLY WARNINGVotto, who left Thursdays game at St. Louis in the eighth inning with a cut on his chin that required seven stitches, texted Price at 3 a.m. Friday saying that he would be ready to play.TRAINERS ROOMCubs: OF Jorge Soler (discomfort on his right side) will be re-evaluated on Saturday, manager Joe Maddon said.Reds: 2B Brandon Phillips, sidelined by soreness in his left wrist and hand, was being examined Friday by members of the Reds medical staff, Price said.UP NEXTCubs: LHP Jon Lester (19-4) seeks his first career 20-win season in his last start. He is 2-0 with a 1.95 ERA in four starts against Cincinnati this season.Reds: RHP Tim Adleman (3-4), who set a career high with seven innings in his last start on Monday, will try to close out his season with back-to-back wins.

MORITZ, Switzerland -- Fog prevented downhill racers from getting their Olympic dress rehearsal. http://www.baseballindiansprostore.com/indians-francisco-lindor-jersey/ . In Europe, top teams seem to be largely happy with their squads after spending nearly $1 billion in the off-season. And although English league clubs are unlikely to splash cash in January, Arsenal and Chelsea could be tempted to strengthen their squads with new strikers. PUEBLA DE SANABRIA, Spain -- Jonas Van Genechten of Belgium sprinted to win the Spanish Vueltas seventh stage on Friday after Alberto Contador crashed near the finish line.Contadors front wheel caught on another bike in a tight pack making a turn, sending him and other riders into the temporary barrier marking the courses final kilometer. Contador was quickly back on his bike but had several visible scratches and tears to his jersey as he slowly pedaled across the line.The seven-time grand tour winner, including three Vuelta titles, said his Tinkoff team would assess his health on Saturday morning.I was hit by someone that likes braking a lot and crashed on my left side, Contador said. I took a big hit on my calf and my quad, and in general I have extensive superficial wounds on the entire left side of my body. It hurts a lot but it seems that theres nothing broken.Colombian Darwin Atapuma held onto the overall lead of the grand tour, although Alejandro Valverde did chip into his advantage after picking up four bonus seconds for finishing third.Van Genechten, 29, beat a group of sprinters to claim the 158.5-kilometer (98-mile) stage over three category-three climbs from Maceda to Puebla de Sanabria in 3 hours, 55 minutes, 44 seconds.Van Genechten, who rides for IAM, called his first grand tour win the biggest victory of his career.At the Vuelta the chance for a win is very small, so we have to fight for every single chance, he said. This was one of my goals.Daniiele Bennati crossed second. Austin Jackson Jersey. The days racing appeared relatively calm compared to the frantic sixth stage. That was until two-thirds of the way through when Astana charged to the front and set a punishing pace for over 20 kilometers that fractured the peloton.Astana then launched Luis Leon Sanchez on a breakaway, and the Spaniard put on an impressive run with Simon Clarke tagging along in his wake to almost beat the peloton to the finish -- only to be caught a few hundred meters (yards) from the end.It was a dramatic moment because we werent expecting Astanas push, nobody was, Atapuma said about the attack that momentarily dropped BMC team leader Samuel Sanchez. We recovered from the scare and were able to arrive without problems.Samuel Sanchez, however, went down in the small pileup after Contador crashed. He too quickly resumed racing to complete the stage, and his BMC team said he was relatively unscathed.Atapuma leads Valverde by 24 seconds overall. Tour de France winner Chris Froome remained :32 behind, while Nairo Quintana and Esteban Chaves are :38 back. Contador stayed almost two minutes adrift.Saturdays eighth stage is the first of three consecutive mountain stages, a 181.5-kilometer (112.7-mile) route from Villalpando finishing at the category-one La Camperona summit.The three-week race ends in Madrid in Sept. 11.

Michael Carrick says winning is more important than style for Manchester United under new boss Jose Mourinho, as the midfielder waits to find out more about his future at the club. Chris Carpenter Jersey . Some have questioned whether Mourinhos perceived style of play will satisfy United fans who crave attacking and stylish football but Carrick does not think that will be a problem and believes winning is more important.The 34-year-olds contract is set to expire this summer but he is hopeful he will figure in Mourinhos plans for the future and believes, despite that reservation in some quarters, that the Portuguese is a good fit for the club. Carrick says winning is more important for Manchester United than style under Mourinho There is going to be change, without doubt. He is coming in and he is his own man, hes got an unbelievable track record and obviously everyone is looking for quick results and thats how it is, Carrick told Sky Sports News HQ.Im not sure exactly the situation of who he is bringing in or anything like that just yet, we will have to wait and see on that one. For me, Im hopeful, no news as of yet but well have to wait and see what happens next week. Lampard backs Jose at Man Utd Frank Lampard has tipped Jose Mourinho to be a success at Manchester United I think his track record speaks for itself, I think it is a good fit. It is about winning at the end of the day. I know there is a lot of talk about styles - play this way, play that way, but it is about winning.You have to be No 1, you have to be winning trophies, and if you can do that with a bit of style and a bit of flair then obviously thats the perfect match but, first and foremost, it is about winning and getting back on top. Mourinho will take charge of Manchester United next season Carrick thinks his United team-mate Marcus Rashford has a great chance of making Roy Hodgsons final England squad for Euro 2016 after the young striker took just 138 seconds to score on his senior international debut in the 2-1 win over Australia.However, Carrick, who has won 34 caps for England, thinks the 18-year-old has a big future in the national side, even if he misses out on this summers tournament in France.First and foremost it has been an incredible six months for him and he has given himself every chance, Carrick said. What more could he have done to give the manager a headache or to put himself forward? Marcus Rashford scored on his England debut against Australia Hes such a nice lad, so down to earth and grounded which is great to see and I hope, for his sake, he goes and does well, and Im sure he will. Hes got all the attributes to do well.Even if it is not this one, I have said to him hes got such a big future ahead of him, such a long career that almost anything he gets now is a bonus for him, its not what he expected, so well see how it goes.

Penrith recruit Mitch Rein has unloaded on the boring attack of former NRL club St George Illawarra, saying he cant wait to join the exciting brand of football at the Panthers.Rein started last week at the foot of the mountains after signing a two-year deal late last month, but didnt hold back when discussing his tough year in Wollongong.The 26-year-old admitted the Dragons played a boring style of football last year and revealed a number of ex-teammates had been left just as frustrated as him.There were some tough times there, if Im being honest, at the Dragons. A lot of the boys were feeling that as well, Rein said on Tuesday after training.Growing up as a local junior down there at the Dragons and then coming out west - Id only been here six times just to play and thats it.Its a massive change and to get outside your comfort zone is something Im looking forward to and, hopefully, it can get the best out of me.Rein, who reportedly asked for more than the $350,000 the Dragons tabled to him last season, said there was an attacking element to his game that hadnt been on show in the Red V.Over the years, the Dragons have played so many different types of footy, he said.Last year wasnt very enjoyable, attacking-wise. I know its pretty well documented that its pretty boring - just wasnt working out very well down there. Zach Duke Jersey. Coming here to an attacking side is going to be awesome.He admits he was left jealous of Penriths ascension as a free-flowing powerhouse who fell two games short of a fairytale 2016 grand final.They are expected to be a top-four contender next year.I remember texting one of my mates, watching them play in the semi-final and going, How good are they? - this is awesome, he said.And then to find out Im going to be a part of that next year, Im really looking forward to it.The hooker is likely to start the 2017 season behind reborn No.9 Peter Wallace, but is still confident of improving after watching a resurgence in former teammate Trent Merrin.The Kangaroos forward is allowing Rein to stay in his house as the former NSW Country Origin representative settles in at Penrith.Even talking to him throughout the year ever since he came here, how happy he is, gave me a lot of confidence. Its good to see him going really well, Rein said.To see him turn around and be enjoying his footy so much gives me a lot of confidence that hopefully I can do the same thing and improve like he has.
