NRL boss Todd Greenberg has hit back at calls from Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett for an earlier release of the finals schedule. Arjen Robben Jersey .Bennett believes his preparations for week one of the finals have been thrown into disarray because he is unsure who, when or where his team will be playing.Greenberg immediately addressed the issue with Bennett and Broncos CEO Paul White on Friday morning.I said to him that when youre walking into the last round and no one knows whos going to come first or eighth, it is near impossible to then land a finals schedule, Greenberg said on Friday.Greenberg also said that the Broncos, who are currently in fourth spot following Thursdays win over the Sydney Roosters, were fortunate that they had already played their final regular season game.Waynes in the very fortunate position that hes played his last game, so his team are now resting while others are about to play, Greenberg said.Its a bit tough to be suggesting that the NRL need to lock finals in because were all about player welfare and the finals will be decided on both venue availability but also back-up times for our athletes.The Broncos could fall back to fifth spot should North Queensland defeat Gold Coast in Townsville on Saturday night.Bennett, the seven-time premiership coach, said the NRL needs to publish a schedule for the opening week of the finals much earlier than they do currently.We dont know what were doing to be honest with you. Its a bit weird, we should know, he said.We should know what fifth and eighth are doing. We dont know what days were training ... not earlier in the season, but Id like to know it now.Whoever they are, five and eight will play here on a Sunday or Saturday or whatever. We deserve that. If we dont know by Sunday if we should be back training by Sunday then weve missed a huge advantage. Tonny Vilhena Jersey .

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- A frustrated Buffalo Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor was recorded as saying, Im done talking as he walked away from the podium after his regular Wednesday news conference.Taylor also threw down his practice jersey that he had taken off before speaking to reporters.It is unclear whether Taylor meant he was done speaking to reporters for the day or for the remainder of the season. The NFLs media policy prohibits players from boycotting the media during the regular season.Taylor said Wednesday that he should be judged on wins and losses and noted that the Bills, at 6-6 and in 11th place in the AFC, still have a chance for the postseason. When a reporter began to ask a follow-up question about how Taylor will be judged if the Bills miss the playoffs, the quarterback cut off the question and responded, this week, fellas. This week. Talk about this week.Now 26 games into his career as the Bills starting quarterback, Taylor has posted a 14-12 record but has seen a decline in several key statistics, including completion percentage, yards per pass attempt, touchdowns and passer rating. Overall, the Bills average 181.5 passing yards per game, which ranks 32nd in the NFL.Taylor deflected several other questions during the Wednesday news conference about his performance in recent games, including Sundays 38-24 loss to the Oakland Raiders. After completing eight of nine passes in the first quarter, Taylor went 10-of-26 passing for 89 yards over the final three quarters and finished the game with a 55.8 quarterback rating. He was testy with reporters after the game, responding with short or one-word answers to some questions.Ive taken everything that yall have stood up here and asked me, right in the chest, he said Wednesday. It doesnt affect me emotionally or physically. I take that every weeek. Vincent Janssen Jersey. Whoever yall want to blame, Ill take that. Like I said, my job is to get the team into a position where we can win Sundays. Can I be better, yes? But it doesnt just take me; its a collective effort out there on the field, each and every Sunday.As part of a contract extension signed in August, the Bills must guarantee Taylor $30 million if he remains on their roster past the fourth day of the 2017 league year, which begins in March. His performance this season has raised questions about whether the Bills will keep Taylor as their quarterback next season.My future in Buffalo is this week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Thats what matters the most, Taylor said. Other than that, I dont feel like talking about my contract. We still have games to play.Coach Rex Ryan has defended Taylors performance this season but has not directly answered questions about whether Taylor will be the quarterback in 2017.Im pleased with Tyrod Taylor, Ryan said Monday. I think he gives us the best chance to win. I think hes a good quarterback. But our focus is strictly on Pittsburgh, so anything past that I dont think its even an appropriate conversation right now.I just think it is easy to sit back and be critical, but if you are playing without five receivers in the game, I have a feeling you are not -- regardless if it is Tom Brady or anybody else -- I think it is going to affect you.Running back LeSean McCoy also came to Taylors defense Wednesday.A lot of people have taken shots, he said. Thats all opinion based. I stand behind him because Im in the same locker room with him. I watch the same tape. Are there plays that hes missed? Yeah. Are there plays that Ive missed? Yeah.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Reggie Lewis Jersey . -- Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles has been ruled out for Sundays game in Indianapolis after he experienced swelling in his surgically repaired right knee this week.Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Friday that Spencer Ware and Charcandrick West will handle running back duties against the Colts. The Chiefs recently traded backup Knile Davis to the Green Bay Packers and have no plans on elevating Darrin Reaves from the practice squad.Knee was up and down and we just backed him off here and see if we can get that thing to settle down, said Reid, who did not say whether inflammation will cause Charles to miss extended time.Charles tore the ACL in his right knee in Week 5 last season and returned to the field for the first time on Oct. 2 in Pittsburgh. He carried nine times two weeks ago in Oakland, and it appeared that he would slowly ramp up his workload, before the swelling limited him to one carry last weekend.The Chiefs have been taking their time working Charles back into game shape, so the setback to the four-time Pro Bowl running back is particularly discouraging. But having Ware, a breakout star, and the versatile West in the backfield has taken some of the sting out of his slow recovery.You have to be smart with it, Reid said. He might take a step back and come forward with something better. Thats what you try to do. Were never going to put him out there if its not right. Thats just not going to happen. It doesnt matter who the player is, thats how we roll.Right tackle Mitchell Schwartz and cornerback Phillip Gaines are expected to play. Schwartz has been dealing with an ankle injury, and Gaines missed last weeks game with a knee injury.Fellow cornerback D.J.

In the lead up - which seemed to begin the moment Mike Geiger blew the whistle in Houston last Thursday night - the Impact rumour mill went into overdrive. The speculation went into meltdown mode, of the golden nugget variety. NAIROBI, Kenya -- Kenyan police have detained and are investigating an Italian agent who represents top track and field athletes for facilitating doping, threatening another major drug scandal for the worlds No. 1 distance-running nation just a month ahead of the Olympics.A court on Wednesday granted police more time to investigate Federico Rosa, who formerly represented Rita Jeptoo, the marathon champion who is the highest profile of dozens of Kenyan athletes banned in recent years for doping.Rosa appeared in court Wednesday but was not charged. Senior Principal Magistrate Bernard Ochoi ordered Rosa to be held in custody for three days, despite protests from his lawyers, while police investigate further.Federico Rosa and his father, Gabriele, run the Rosa & Associati athlete management company and work with a number of Kenyan track stars, including Asbel Kiprop, a three-time world champion and former Olympic champion in the 1,500 meters. Kiprop has not been implicated in any doping, and authorities have not named any athletes involved in the investigation.Federico Rosa is accused of conspiracy to cause injuries to professional athletes through doping, and police say they need more time to question runners. Doping was recently made a criminal offense in Kenya, which has been in trouble with the World Anti-Doping Agency for its poor doping controls.Despite a series of doping cases, Kenya has been cleared by the IAAF to send a track and field team to next months Rio de Janeiro Olympics. But the International Olympic Committee has warned that substantial allegations concerning doping exist against Kenya and has asked for additional testing of its athletes across all spoorts. Custom Chicago White Sox Jerseys. Earlier this week, Italian track coach Claudio Berardelli, who previously worked for the Rosas and is Jeptoos former coach, was arrested in Eldoret, a high altitude town in western Kenya famous as a training ground for the worlds best runners. He was due to be questioned in the capital, Nairobi, police said.At least three athletes represented by the Rosas, Jeptoo, Mathew Kisorio and Agatha Jeruto, have been banned for doping in recent years.Jeptoo, who was given a two-year ban after testing positive for the blood-booster EPO in a test in Kenya in 2014, is due to have her case heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland on Thursday. Track and field governing body the IAAF has appealed the two-year ban and wants a harsher punishment for Jeptoo. Jeptoo, in a counter-appeal, wants her ban reduced.Federico and Gabriele Rosa were in Kenya for last weeks Olympic trials in Eldoret. Then, the two Italians had their hotels room searched by police, and were ordered to present themselves at police headquarters in Nairobi on Monday for questioning. It was unclear if Gabriele Rosa was also facing charges.Federico Rosa denied any involvement in doping when contacted by The Associated Press on Monday. He couldnt be reached for comment Wednesday.The Rosas agency was one of two foreign athlete management companies suspended from working in Kenya for six months last year, with Kenyan authorities accusing foreign agents of involvement in supplying banned substances to athletes.---Imray reported from Somerset West, South Africa.Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
The UFC has stripped Jon Jones of a light heavyweight title for the second time in two years. Draymond Green Jersey .Jones, 29, is no longer the interim 205-pound champion, according to UFC president Dana White. The title was created in April, when Jones defeated?Ovince St. Preux?at UFC 197. The fight was originally supposed to be against Daniel Cormier for the official title, but Cormier withdrew with an injury.Whites decision to strip Jones comes one day after the United States Anti-Doping Agency announced it had suspended Jones for one year because of a failed drug test in June.It doesnt make sense, White told ESPNs 5ive Rounds podcast. He was the interim champion because he should have been fighting for the title [in April]. We gave him this, You were supposed to fight for the title. Here it is.It doesnt make sense with all the stuff that is going on for him to still be the interim champion.In 2015, the UFC stripped Jones (22-1) of the official title after he was arrested on a hit-and-run charge. He is the first athlete to ever be stripped of a UFC title for disciplinary reasons, as well as the only champion to ever be stripped twice. He is also the youngest champion in UFC history.Jones was supposed to fight Cormier at UFC 200 on July 9, but was removed from the event three days prior after testing positive for two banned substances.He immediately denied all wrongdoing in the failed test and later said it was the result of a contaminated sexual enhancement pill he received from a friend. During a recent arbitration hearing on the case, a panel found Jones explanation plausible but still suspended him for one year for his lack of caution in what he was taking.Jon Jones has blown it in every way, shape and form a guy with that much talent can blow it, White said. Greatest talent ever and the biggest screw-up ever.Jones is widely considered the greatest pound-for-pound fighter of all time but has been limited to just two appearances in the past two years because of issues outside of the cage.Since his hit-and-run incident in April 2015, Jones has said multiple times he has made significant lifestyle changes, including sobriety. When he won the interim title earlier this year, he downplayed the significance of the interim belt, saying the official title was his goal.Theres no real satisfaction, said Jones, immediately after the interim title win. Theres no real touchdown moment. Me, my coaches and my teammates are right back to the drawing board. Were still on a mission. This [interim title] is a kind of made-up, kind of fake. Damian Jones Jersey . Nathan MacKinnon, Jamie McGinn and Jan Hejda also scored for the Avalanche, who won despite being outshot 38-23. MacKinnons goal, also on the power play, came with just over a minute remaining. Kevin Durant Jersey . Jane Virtanen scored two, and Alex Roach and Elliott Peterson rounded out the offence for the Hitmen (40-15-6). Brady Brassart chipped in with three assists. Colton McCarthy scored twice, Brayden Point had a goal and two assists, and Jack Rodewald also scored for the Warriors (15-35-9), who were 2 for 5 on the power play. http://www.warriorsteamprostore.com/Cheap-David-West-Warriors-Jersey/ . Goals from Jerome Boateng, Franck Ribery and Thomas Mueller extended Bayerns unbeaten run to a record 37 matches. "This record is incredible," Bayern coach Pep Guardiola said. DeLisha Milton-Jones is stubbornly optimistic, which is a pretty necessary quality for someone to be a professional athlete for two decades.Milton-Jones hoped for one more opportunity this year in the WNBA -- reached out to teams and stayed in shape -- ready to go if she got the call. She felt she could still be a positive veteran influence for young players. Her optimism extended all the way until mid-September as the regular season came to a close.It was like, OK, this is it, its over, said Milton-Jones, who officially announced her retirement recently at age 42. Its sad it had to end that way. Its hard to watch the playoffs, especially a team like Atlanta which was down a veteran post player.But I had to come to terms with it. I have to know theres a lesson in this for me. I have to move on to phase two of my life, take all the experiences Ive had, and use them for someone elses good.She will do that right away as an assistant coach for Ryan Weisenberg at Pepperdine. The Waves players likely cant even grasp just how much experience Milton-Jones has: how many games she has played, practices she has taken part in, countries she has competed in. The 1997 Wade Trophy winner for Florida, Milton-Jones started playing professionally before some of todays college freshmen were even born.Milton-Jones, who began in the ABL, appeared in more games than anyone in WNBA history, with 499 in the regular season -- averaging 11.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals -- and 50 playoff games, where her numbers were even a little better (11.5, 6.1, 1.5).She won two WNBA titles with Los Angeles. For USA Basketball, she won two Olympic gold medals, plus two golds and a bronze from the world championship. Her overseas career also was very decorated, as she played for teams in Russia, Italy, the Czech Republic, Spain, Turkey and Korea.As the WNBA gets set to start the playoff semifinals, Milton-Jones has an interesting perspective. For one, she was on the last Sparks team to make the WNBA Finals, in 2003. For another, her Los Angeles teams are the last to win back-to-back WNBA championships.Why has that, in particular, been so tough to do?Its very hard, because you have to do everything you did the year before, times two, she said. Whos really dedicated to go through that? To have the entire group committed to that journey, thats the first thing.But also players and other teams get better. And if you dont come back and prove as an individual that you can still add your piece to the puzzle, thats going to make it hard. The dynamic of a team changes from one year to the next, even if its a lot of the same players. Those are the rigors of the journey you have to make.Especially considering the league is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, it seemed like the right time for the Sparks to honor Milton-Jones this season, which was sure to be her last even if she had gotten a call to play. She spent 11 of her 17 WNBA seasons with the Sparks, playing 344 games in the regular season and 48 in the playoffs for Los Angeles.But a Sparks spokeswoman said that executive vice president/general manager Penny TToler wanted the organization focused on the current team and the playoffs and would not have a ceremony this year for Milton-Jones. Custom Golden State Warriors Jerseys. Seattle (Lauren Jackson), New York (Swin Cash), Phoenix (Penny Taylor) and Indiana (Tamika Catchings) all made the playoffs this season, yet still took time to honor their retiring players.It seems a shame the Sparks couldnt arrange even a halftime acknowledgement at Fridays playoff game at Staples Center to let fans express their appreciation to Milton-Jones, especially since she and husband, Roland Jones, live in Los Angeles.Milton-Jones admitted it was a disappointment that didnt happen. But she also knows its time to move on to the next chapter of her life, while also maintaining her love for the WNBA.Milton-Jones echoed the sentiments of other retiring players in regard to how important it is for former players to stay involved with the league in some capacity -- particularly in mentorship roles, passing on the history of the WNBA and womens basketball in general.I hope the current and future players take pride in this product and not take it for granted, she said. Take care of the league, because its special. A lot of people fought hard for it, not just for themselves but future generations.Milton-Jones hopes to add her name to the list of former WNBA players whove become successful college coaches. But she is also from the era long before social media and the ubiquity of cell phones and knows todays players grow up in a different world.Ive been in the situation where Ive been the oldest player in the locker room for many years, Milton-Jones said. I learned years ago the best way to relate to younger people is to relate on their level.Theyre not going to understand my mentality all the time, because they havent had the experiences Ive had. Look eye to eye with them, listen to what theyre saying, break down the barriers. I want them to see me as someone who understands them and can have a conversation with them.Milton-Jones said because young players in club basketball can go to whichever coach at that level makes them happiest, they sometimes have difficulty adjusting to the college atmosphere.I think kids are more sensitive to how theyre talked to, how you look at them, how you make them feel, said Milton-Jones, who adds that shed love to pick Geno Auriemmas brain on the topic. I think the old-school style is someone giving us that stern look and knowing, If I dont straighten up, my butts going to be on the line running.I think there has to be a balance with that old-school type of coaching and finding a way to do it with a little of the sting taken out of it. You have to use psychology more.So this is a new challenge for Milton-Jones, and one shes ready to tackle. Leaving her playing career was brutally hard; theres no sugarcoating that. But when she talks to youngsters about working hard and cherishing every minute on the court, theyll know it comes from someone who excelled a long, long time at both.

PHILADELPHIA -- Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin tore the ACL in his right knee during practice Saturday and could miss the season. Oklahoma City Thunder Jerseys . Maclin went down at the end of a non-contact drill and appeared to be in pain while he was on the ground for several minutes. He was helped onto the cart and needed assistance getting off it and going into the teams practice facility. "Appreciate all the love and support twitter fam....sad day but I have setbacks my entire life. Minor setback for a MAJOR comeback! .birdgang," he wrote on Twitter. Philadelphia is in its second full practice under new coach Chip Kelly. The first practice with pads is Sunday. The Eagles signed wide receiver David Ball to the 90-man roster. The 29-year-old Ball played for Kelly at New Hampshire, and broke Jerry Rices Division I-AA record for touchdown receptions. Ball spent time in training camp with Chicago and the New York Jets in 2007-08. Maclin is headed into his fifth season with the Eagles. He led the team with 69 catches for 857 yards and seven touchdowns last season, and the former first-round pick is in the final year of his rookie contract. Two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver DeSean Jackson is Philadelphias other starter. The team has veterans Jason Avant and Riley Cooper, along with several younger wideouts in camp. Maclin has averaged 64 catches, 863 yards and six TDs in his first four seasons. His best year was in 2011 when he had 70 receptions for 964 yards and 10 TDs. Gary Payton Jersey . After Mondays hard-fought loss, the wait seemed longer than usual.

Today, we look back at Boston Strong - a citys recovery from tragedy. NEW YORK -- Admittedly, this was not the womens final most of tennis was hoping for.No. 2 seed Angelique Kerber held up her part of the bargain, blowing into the championship match without the loss of a set. But No. 1 Serena Williams was upset Thursday night by Karolina Pliskova, the rising Czech Republic player with a scintillating serve.There wont be quite the buzz at Arthur Ashe Stadium without Serena, but consider this reading of the final: These could be the players, along with Garbine Muguruza, who pose the greatest threat to Serenas ability to win Grand Slams over the next several years.How to watch all the action SaturdayAt noon ET, the mens doubles final between No. 4 Jamie Murray/Bruno Soares and Pablo Carreno Busta/Guillermo Garcia-Lopez will begin on ESPN3.

Click to watchOur real-time scoreboard, updated stats and social handles can be found in one spot: US Open CourtCast.Saturdays womens final breakdownNo. 2 Angelique Kerber vs. No. 10 Karolina Pliskova, 4 p.m. ET on ESPN and WatchESPNCase for Kerber: The 28-year-old German, playing the best tennis of her career, can finish the season as the only woman with two 2016 Grand Slam singles titles -- and she played for a third, losing the Wimbledon final to Williams. Thats essentially how she swiped Serenas No. 1 ranking. Kerber holds a 4-3 head-to-head edge over Pliskova, but theyve never met in a major. Dont underestimate the fact that Pliskova, until this fortnight, had never been past the third round of a Grand Slam. Pliskovva was able to exploit Williams nerves and her lack of mobility caused by a knee injury. Detlef Schrempf Jersey. She shouldnt be able to do that to Kerber, who is one of the games best defenders. Kerber is seasoned, and, with that life-changing No. 1 ranking, she has to believe this is her title to win or lose.Case for Pliskova: The Czech Republic player has three things that can trump experience: some serious momentum, a huge serve and unswerving nerve. Hows that for a trifecta? Shes won 11 straight matches, including a straight-sets victory over Kerber in the Cincinnati final. The serve? She out-aced Serena in that surprising semifinal. Pliskova, 24, is already projected to be ranked No. 6 among WTA players, and that would rise to No. 5 with a win in the final. Shes shown a blatant disregard for the hierarchical order this year, beating six top-10 players already this year: Kerber, Svetlana Kuznetsova, Simona Halep, Garbine Muguruza and Serena and?Venus Williams. And there is also the Rio effect: Kerber is the only one of four players who advanced to a gold-medal match to still be alive. Andy Murray, Juan Martin del Potro and Monica Puig all exited looking fatigued.Prediction: The oddsmakers, perhaps thinking of that 6-3, 6-1 Cincinnati result three weeks ago, have installed Pliskova as a slight favorite in this one.

LONDON -- A second half strike by Kris Commons gave Celtic a 1-0 victory over Elfsborg, while Fenerbahce needed an injury-time penalty to draw 1-1 in its first leg match at Salzburg in the third round of Champions League qualifying on Wednesday. Demarcus Walker Jersey . After a balanced first half, Celtic had more possession in the second and made the breakthrough when Commons headed home a cross from Emilio Izaguirre in the 76th minute. "They made it difficult for us to break them down but it was not frustrating, it was understandable," Celtic coach Neil Lennon said. "We werent at our best, but that was always going to be the case. There is still a bit of rust there." Looking ahead to next weeks second leg in Sweden, he added: "The tie is probably in the balance, but we are confident that we can go there and get a result." Salzburg also looked to have won after Alans 68th minute strike, only for the Turkish side to be awarded a spot-kick in the fifth minute of stoppage time -- converted by fellow Brazilian, Cristian. There were 1-1 draws too for Molde against Legia Warsaw and APOEL vs. Maribor, while Ludogorets beat Partizan 2-1. Tuesdays matches saw victories for the bigger clubs involved in this stage of the competition with PSV Eindhoven beating Zulte Waregem 2-0, Steaua Bucharest defeating Dinamo Tbilisi by the same scoreline and 1-0 wins for Lyon against Grasshoppers and Basel against Maccabi Tel-Aviv. The second legs will be played Aug. 6-7. DeMarcus Ware Jersey . Then the Pacers gave Oladipo and his Orlando teammates the cold shoulder. Paul Georges buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter spurred a 21-4 run, finally sending Indiana past the Magic 97-87 in a tougher-than-expected opening night matchup.

We take a look... Newcastles defeat to Bournemouth - their seventh in their past 10 Premier League games - leaves them stuck in the relegation zone and, although they have a game in hand on the teams around them, a nine point gap to fifth-bottom Swansea means they are effectively in a battle with Norwich, Sunderland and Aston Villa to avoid a drop into the Championship.Newcastles pre-season target was a top eight finish. Instead they are facing relegation. Paul Merson reflects on Newcastles 3-1 home defeat by Bournemouth Following news Newcastle have sacked McClaren in a bid to kick-start their survival bid, we look at five of their problems…Goal scoring Aleksandar Mitrovic has scored just five times this season For a club renowned for their number nines, Newcastle are desperately lacking a goalscorer this season. Only bottom club Aston Villa have scored fewer goals.Newcastles top scorer is Georginio Wijnaldum with nine - but four of those strikes came in one game against Norwich. The clubs main striker Aleksandar Mitrovic - signed last summer for £13m after impressing in Belgium - has managed just five goals in the Premier League and was dropped to the bench against Bournemouth. Premier League teams - goals scored Rank Team Goals scored T1 Leicester, Man City 52 - - - T18 Newcastle, Swansea 28 20 Aston Villa 22 Meanwhile, Ayoze Perez, who has scored six times, has been in and out of the side, with McClaren questioning his consistency, Papiss Cisse is out with injury and Emmanuel Riviere, who has scored just once since his July 2014 arrival, doesnt seem to be the solution.The Newcastle forwards, though, may point to the fact that the team has created just 232 chances this season - the fourth lowest total in the Premier League. Injuries Striker Papiss Cisse is on Newcastles long injury list Every team has injury problems to deal with but Newcastle have been particularly badly hit, with 11 players currently sidelined, according to physioroom.com. Thats the highest total among Premier League clubs.Fabricio Coloccini, Cheick Tiote and new signing Andros Townsend were all missed against Bournemouth, while Newcastle could certainly do with the goalscoring talent of Cisse.First-choice goalkeeper Tim Krul is another long-term absentee, while Gabriel Obertan and Chancel Mbemba are also among the long list of potential first-teamers in the treatment room.New signings failing to perform January signing Henri Saivet has made just two starts Wijnaldum, Mitrovic, Mbemba and Florian Thauvin were expensive signings last summer and the board backed McClaren with finances in January, bringing in Henri Saivet, Jonjo Shelvey and Andros Townsend. However, none have had the desired impact so far.Wijnalldum is perhaps the pick of the summer recruits, showing in flashes what made him an integral part of PSVs Eredivisie title-winning team last season, while Shelvey has contributed three assists since his January arrival from Swansea. Jake Butt Jersey. Steve McClaren says the negative chanting from the Newcastle fans was justified The problem for McClaren was that not enough of those big-money signings performed to the standards Newcastle expected on a regular basis. Only Shelvey averages above 7/10 on WhoScored.coms statistically-based ratings system.Lost support of the fans Newcastle were booed off at St James Park on Saturday The poor results under McClaren - on the back of several seasons of disappointment - have left the St James Park faithful frustrated and angry with the teams current plight. As a result, Newcastles home ground is currently an unhappy home for the clubs players, according to Paul Merson.These fans have to stick with them, the Soccer Saturday pundit said after Newcastles defeat to Bournemouth.After 10-15 minutes, the players went into their shells. They couldnt handle it. Only Shelvey and Daryl Janmaat could. The fans were on their backs. They have to get behind them for the next lot of games.I know its frustrating and they pay a lot of money to go and watch their team but for these games they have to stick with them. Newcastle managers Steve McClaren John Carver Alan Pardew Games 28 20 185 Won 6 3 71 Drawn 6 4 41 Lost 16 13 73 Win % 21.4 15 38.4 Defeats to bottom-half rivals Bournemouth are the latest bottom-half side to beat Newcastle In his final press conference, McClaren said Newcastle are now in a mini league of four - but results against teams around them has been a major problem this season.While Newcastle have beaten Tottenham and Liverpool and twice drawn with Manchester United, they have lost to every team in the bottom half at least once this season, with the exception of Norwich.In fact, Newcastle have won 14 points against teams currently in the top half of the Premier League and managed just 10 against teams 11th or below.With Sunderland, Norwich and Swansea to play in their next five fixtures, an upturn in form against their fellow strugglers is imperative for Newcastle.

BOSTON -- Doctors who decide whether an NFL player is healthy enough to go into the game shouldnt be paid by the teams that have a stake in winning and losing -- an undeniable conflict of interest. Ryan OReilly Jersey .Thats what a report released on Thursday by Harvard University experts in medicine, law and ethics says.The study by the NFL Players Association-funded Football Players Health Study also recommends a short-term injured reserve for athletes recovering from a concussion, much like the system that baseball adopted five years ago.The 500-page report includes 76 recommendations addressed to 20 NFL stakeholders -- everyone from players and teams to equipment manufacturers and government regulators. The biggest message: Player safety will never be the top priority as long as those involved have competing calls on their loyalty.So long as the club doctor is chosen, paid and reviewed by the club to both care for players and advise the club, the doctor will have, at a minimum, tacit pressures or subconscious desires to please the club by doing what is in the clubs best interests, the report said.This is not a moral judgment about them as competent professionals or devoted individuals, but rather a simple fact of the current organizational structure of their position in which they simultaneously perform at least two roles that are not necessarily compatible.Its a conclusion that was similar to that reached in an Associated Press survey of 100 players across the league last season. Asked if they thought the leagues clubs, coaches and team doctors have the athletes best interests at heart when it comes to health and safety, only 47 said yes.To resolve the conflict of interest, the report recommends that the league and the union contribute to a fund used to pay doctors assigned to teams.It should be common sense to avoid a conflict of interest between Teams and Doctors, former San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Anthony Davis, who retired -- for the second time -- at the age of 26 after repeated concussions, said on Twitter on Thursday.Although the study called the arrangement an undeniable conflict of interest, the league did in fact deny it.In a 33-page response , the NFL said it was disappointed that the report appeared to start with the premise that the health care system in the NFL suffers from an `inherent conflict of interest.The report ultimately promotes the untenable and impractical recommendation that NFL players receive care from `two distinct groups of medical professionals, the league wrote, saying that would have unintended but extremely detrimental effects on NFL players care.The NFL said the report fails to note any examples where a doctor put a teams interest ahead of the players, or establish any link between a doctors job security and player or team performance. The league said the collective bargaining agreement establishes that team doctors responsibility is to the player only, and that they are bound by the AMA and other professional codes of ethics.Players also have the right to seek a second opinion from a doctor of their own choosing, the league said.Tennessee Titans cornerback Jason McCourty said he has hasnt had a problem with the current system, but he liked the reports suggestions. As an eight-year veteran, he said, he is comfortable taking charge of his medical care, but a rookie might be intimidated.As players and grown men, as anyone (who) goes to a doctor, a doctor reports directly to you, he said. And I dont think it should be any different within a team.The NFL has already added layers of independent physicians to its concussion protocol, including unaffiliated athletic trainers and neurotrauma consultants on game day whose role is to spot players with possible concussions and, if necessary, stop play. The league says the role of these consultants is to support the team medical staffs in the diagnosis of in-game concussions.I dont really know how it works right now. I assume that third-party guy has enough pull to where if he thinks somebody is bad, hes out, said Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman David DeCastro, who went through the process against Dallas last week after he was slow to get up following a hit to the neck.After talking to the team doctor and the independent consultant, he was cleared to return and only missed one play.Obviously theres a conflict of interest (concern) with the team, and obviously getting rid of that is one thing. But for the most part I thought it was pretty fair and well done, DeCastro said. It was really good the way it kind of worked out.---AP Pro Football Writer Teresa M.

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Two members of golfs royal house -- Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus -- offered heartfelt condolences on the passing of Arnold Palmer, providing personal reflections on the golfer known as The King.?Tiger Woods, who has won the second-most major championships with 14, said he was deeply saddened by the news on Palmer, who died Sunday at 87.Its hard to believe that Arnold has passed, and Im deeply saddened by his loss. He meant so much to the game and to me personally, Woods said in a statement. I knew that I could always call him for advice, and I looked forward to seeing him at Bay Hill and the Masters.Arnold touched so many people. My kids were born at the Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies, and his philanthropic work will be remembered along with his accomplishments in golf. It was an honor and privilege to have known Arnold, and Im forever grateful for his friendship.But some of the kindest words released immediately following Palmers death came from the man whose 18 major championships remain unmatched -- Jack Nicklaus.I was shocked to hear that we lost a great friend -- and that golf lost a great friend, Nicklaus said in a statement. At this point I dont know what happened, and I suppose it is not important what happened. What is important is that we just lost one of the incredible people in the game of golf and in all of sports.My friend -- many peoples friend -- just wore out. I know he was in Pittsburgh trying to find out how to make himself better. Thats what Arnold has always tried to do. He has always been a fighter and he never gave up on anything. Dmitry Kulikov Jersey. He didnt give up even now. Maybe his body did, but I know Arnolds will and spirit did not.Nicklaus said he last spoke to Palmer on his birthday, Sept. 10, and that Palmer sounded great.Palmer developed a rivalry and lifelong friendship with Nicklaus and Gary Player, and the trio eventually became known as the Big Three. They won seven straight Masters titles among them from 1960 to 1966 and hit ceremonial tee shots together at Augusta National to signal the start of the years first major. Palmer hit his first ceremonial tee shot at Augusta in 2007; Nicklaus joined him in 2010, and Player was added in 2012.Palmer won the Masters in 1958, 1960, 1962 and 1964 and is one of two champions -- along with Nicklaus -- who are members of Augusta National. Nicklaus (six) and Woods (four) are the only golfers who have won as many or more Masters titles.Said Nicklaus: Arnold transcended the game of golf. He was more than a golfer or even great golfer. He was an icon. He was a legend. Arnold was someone who was a pioneer in his sport. He took the game from one level to a higher level, virtually by himself. Along the way, he had millions of adoring fans ... We were great competitors, who loved competing against each other, but we were always great friends along the way. Arnold always had my back, and I had his. We were always there for each other. That never changed.He was the king of our sport and always will be.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- As Caster Semenya stood on the Olympic medal podium, the gold around her neck, the South African anthem playing, one was reminded of another opinion-changing person from her country: Nelson Mandela. Pavel Datsyuk Jersey .Semenya doesnt have the anti-apartheid leaders oratory gifts. But like the father of modern South Africa who died in 2013, she is teaching the world -- not just sport, but the wider world that is moved by it -- about tolerance, about courage and about judging people not by how they look, but by what they do, how they do it and how they conduct themselves.Semenya does that by running. Running beautifully.Semenyas story shouldnt be any more complex than a celebration of the athleticism she displayed in winning the 800 meters at the Rio Games.But, of course, it is complex.This would usually the place for a paragraph about gender, about testosterone, about fairness or otherwise, about science and pseudo-science and plain old BS. In short, a paragraph that could not even begin to do justice to the injustice, the questions, the whispers, the doubts, the finger-pointing, the name-calling and Byzantine cruelty that Semenya has had to wade through since she announced herself to the world by winning the 800-meter world title as an 18-year-old in 2009.If, at this point, you dont know what were talking about, then lucky you, because it hasnt been pretty. Look it up, if you must.The short version is this: Like Mandela, she has risen above it all. Her dignity, like his, is both her shield and her weapon. He forced white South Africans to look at themselves. Eventually, they could no longer stomach what they saw. Semenya, too, has become a mirror: Those who judge her only by her looks, who have called her a half-man, or whatever, will eventually get sick of their own ugliness, their lack of compassion and basic humanity. Like Mandela, she has had to learn how to tune hatred out.Were not here to talk about some speculations, Semenya said. Its not about looking at people, how they look, how they speak, how they run. Its not about being muscular. Its all about sports.Perhaps the best bit about her Olympic gold was how it seemed, almost immediately, to bring her out of her shell. She has, understandably, always run from excruciatingly personal and intrusive questions about whether she was born with internal testes, no uterus and has high levels of testosterone -- in short, absurd questions about matters that are nobodys business but her own.But she isnt running any more. In Semenya, sport long thought it had a problem. But in the belly of Rios Olympic Stadium, sports instead got a new leader who preaches unity where, for too long in her case, there has been nothing but discord.Here I am, she told a large group of reporters, after avoiding questions all week. I just want to be the best I can be.You just need to lead by example, she added. Maybe, if people they just unite, it can be a great world.Amen to that.Slowly, Semenya seems to be winning over her rivals, too. They have mostly learned to keep their thoughts to themselves about whether their sport needs rules to somehow dial back the competitive advantage they perceive women like Semenya to have. Some of them arent happy. Semenyas winning time of 1 minute, 55.28 seconds was one of the top 20 times ever in the two-lap race. Rivals predicted that she would blow away the field. And she did. Burundis Francine Niyonsaba was more than one second behind in 1:56.49 for silver and Kenyas Margaret Wambui ran 1:56.89 for bronze.But this night, Semenyas night, was neither the time nor place for rivals to get into the debate about the need or otherwise for testosterone-limiting rules. That will soon be back in the hands of the Court of Arbitration for Sport. It suspended the rules last year, judging that they were based on uncertain science. The International Association of Athletics Federations will be going back to the CAS in the next year to try to change its mind.Bottom-line: Semenya broke no rules.But is she breaking barriers.She said one of the first things she wanted to do was call her wife, Violet.I still have to make a long call, obviously, my wife is waiting, she said.After all Semenya has been through, the freedom she expressed on and off the Olympic track felt like a message to the world.All it must do now is listen.---John Leicester is an international sports columnist for The Associated Press.

Brazilian national coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has confirmed that the veteran goalkeeper is set to join Toronto on loan, saying it will help him be ready for the World Cup. KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kendrys Morales started the season scuffling to get his average above .200. Hes finishing up a lot better.Morales homered for his 1,000th career hit and drove in four runs, Danny Duffy pitched effectively into the eighth inning and the Kansas City Royals beat the Chicago White Sox 10-3 Sunday.First and foremost, I didnt even know I had 999 hits, Morales said with catching coach Pedro Grifol as his translator.Morales was hitting .191 on June 5, but in his past 20 games he is hitting .359 with a .705 slugging percentage, bringing his season total to .261 with 38 home runs and 85 RBI.Obviously, I didnt have a good start, but the season is a very long season, Morales said. I was able to get back on track and finish strong.Duffy (12-2) picked up his first victory since Aug. 21. He struck out eight and gave up three runs.Again, it sounds boring, but its a simple mindset, Duffy said. I trust my fastball and everything else plays off of it. Thats probably why I dont try to nibble with it.Morales homered in the sixth with Paulo Orlando aboard. Orlando reached base four times -- two doubles, a walk and hit by pitch -- and scored three runs.Morales contributed a RBI single in the first and doubled home Eric Hosmer in the fourth.Hosmer drove in three runs, giving him a career-best 95 RBI. Whit Merrifield had three hits and two RBI.Alex Gordon ended an 0-for-21 drought with his 16th home run, which splashed into the upper right-field fountain.Todd Frazier hit his 37th homer, a White Sox record for a third baseman.Jose Quintana (12-11) was removed after four innings. He faced 24 batters, giving up 10 hits and three walks.It wasnt the normal stuff, the stuuff you expect from him, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. Curtis Joseph Jersey. They hit him pretty hard, too. He just wasnt locating the way he usually does. It was just an off day for him. We didnt do much offensively against Duffy. He was throwing it pretty good. But, you know, just a rare one for Q.Quintanas career record against the Royals dropped to 1-9.DOUBLE CHALLENGEThe third inning included a 4-minute, 25-second review that included both managers making a challenge on the same play. Ned Yost of the Royals claimed shortstop Tim Anderson did not touch second base before throwing to first on Hosmers grounder. White Sox manager Robin Ventura challenged that Orlando violated the slide rule. After the review, the call on the field was overturned with Orlando ruled safe and the slide was legal.We felt like when you slide and you cant reach the bag thats enough for me to feel like its not a real slide or a bona fide slide, Ventura said. Again, that stuff is written in a way that it could go either way.TRAINERS ROOMWhite Sox: INF Tyler Saladino was out for the second straight game with a left calf issue. Hes getting better, Ventura said. Theres nothing mechanically wrong in there. Hes just sore and you just have to treat it. ... DH Justin Morneau missed his sixth straight game with neck discomfort.UP NEXTWhite Sox: LHP Carlos Rodon, who is 5-1 with a 2.77 ERA in his past eight starts, will start the series finale.Royals: RHP Yordano Ventura has allowed at least 11 baserunners in each of his past three starts with 12 walks and 23 hits.

SPARTANBURG, S. Kevin Strootman Jersey .C. -- Chattanooga coach Russ Huesman feels the Southern Conference took an unwarranted hit on its reputation a few years back, one it is ready to wipe away with a stable, improving league.The SoCon had been one of the countrys best Football Championship Subdivision leagues since college football split into Division I and Division I-AA more than three decades ago. Yet after FCS powers Appalachian State and Georgia Southern left the league to move up three years ago, Huesman thought few took the conference as seriously as before.Absolutely ridiculous, he said. Weve gotten a bad rap for a few years now.Expect that to change, Huesman said.His Mocs were picked to win a fourth straight SoCon football title by league coaches and media at the leagues preseason gathering Wednesday.Theres no doubt the league saw an overhaul in recent seasons. Georgia Southern reached the NCAA playoffs 11 times and won two national championships during their two decades in the league. Appalachian State was in 16 NCAA playoffs and won three straight FCS titles from 2005-07.The last time both Georgia Southern and Appalachian State made the playoffs in 2012 was also the last time the SoCon had three teams in the NCAA tournament. East Tennessee, Mercer and VMI -- whove combined for zero playoff appearances. VMI has not had a winning record since 1981. East Tennessee restarted football last fall after an absence of 11 years while Mercer went even longer between teams (no football from 1942 to 2012) before restoring the program.The changes may have cost the SoCon in the selection room. Western Carolina, at 7-4, was on the bubble last year for the 24-team field but was ultimately left out.Catamounts coach Mark Speir thought his team had done enough to get in, but ultimately let a bunch of men in Indianapolis decide whether we get to play anymore.Southern Conference commissioner John Iamarino understands the reluctance to buy into the leagues recent changes. He thinks time and stability will ultimate sway doubters about the SoCons power.When youre worried about realignment issues, it makes it harder on the coaches to recruit, Iamarino said. Weve got two programs that are very young and its just going to take some time to be successful.Maybe not that much time, said Western Carolinas Speir, who has spent all but three of his 26 football seasons coaching in the Southern Conference.From top to bottom, this league is as strong as its ever been, he said.Newbie Mercer toppled league champion Chattanooga last season while the Citadel returned to the NCAA playoffs for the first time since 1992, including a FBS victory over South Carolina of the Southeastern Conference.The Citadel was picked second to Chattanooga in coach and media voting. The rest of the coachs picks were Samford third, then Western Carolina, Mercer, Wofford, Furman, VMI and East Tennessee. The media selected Western Carolina third, then Mercer, Samford, Wofford, Furman, VMI and East Tennessee.Western Carolina running back Detrez Newsome was named the leagues preseason offensive player of the year while Chattanooga defensive lineman Keionta Davis got picked for player of the year honors on the other side of the ball.Huesman said his team is ready to contend with a strong league and build on what its done in recent seasons. An emphasis for improvement is in the playoffs, where the Mocs lost in the second round the past two seasons, and against FBS opponents, which Huesman said is where he and other SoCon teams can most strongly debunk the idea the SoCon has slipped.He pointed to the Citadels win over South Carolina and Furmans takedown of UCF last season as evidence that the conference is robust and ready to rumble with anyone in college football.I think thats going to help the league moving forward, he said.
