Born in French Guiana, Seraphin was traded to Washington in July 2010, and played with the Wizards for five seasons before playing with the New York Knicks last season. He has career averages of 6.1 points and 3.5 rebounds per game. The 6-4 Zeisloft played last season at Indiana where he averaged 6.5 points and 1.6 rebounds per gameTerms were not disclosed by the team in Thursdays announcement.http://www.steelersrookiestore.com/Steelers-Coty-Sensabaugh-Jersey/ . 9.

Colin Kaepernick has been named the starting quarterback for the 49ers. Our panel of NFL Insiders breaks down what went wrong previously with Kaepernick in San Francisco, whether it can be fixed and whether hell be with the team next season.From 2012 to 2013, Kaepernick ranked second in Total QBR behind only Peyton Manning (including playoffs). What happened?John Clayton, senior NFL writer:?He?was successful early, but he didnt improve. You cant take away what he did well early -- he helped to carry San Francisco to Super Bowl XLVII. But like a pitcher in baseball who doesnt adjust to opposing batters, Kaepernick?never made?adjustments. He?struggled to get to his second, third and fourth reads in passing progression. He has an elongated delivery that he hasnt fixed. When hes flushed to his left, he comes out throwing a fastball. In this league, you cant stay stagnant.Dan Graziano, nationnal NFL Insider: Go back to the Super Bowl season. http://www.steelersrookiestore.com/Hats/. The 49ers used to talk about the challenge of developing Kaepernick while at the same time taking advantage of his unique ability and the strong group around him to try to win while he developed. They came very close to winning it all, but somewhere along the line, whether it was his fault or the coaching staffs, Kaepernick never advanced as a passer, never corrected the issues with his throwing motion, etc. Add the injuries, the deterioration of the roster and the coaching staff changes of the past two years, and you have a quarterback whos in his sixth actual season but never advanced beyond the second or third year of his NFL development. Its not too dissimilar to the?Robert Griffin III?story.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- It began in a rain-drenched 5,000-seat stadium on an island between Manhattan and Queens. http://www.ramsrookiestore.com/Rams-Deacon-Jones-Jersey/ . Some Jamaican kid with the improbably awesome name of Bolt was in the Big Apple, not so much to announce his presence to the world, but to figure out who he was.We clambered into a van and headed over to Icahn Stadium. The headliner that night: American sprinter Tyson Gay.Or so we thought.Wearing a white top and black shoes -- nothing flashy -- Usain Bolt took off out of lane 4 for the mens 100 meters. He busted through the blue tape in 9.72 seconds. That was the new world record.The Beijing Olympics were still two months away, and Bolt was still wondering which race he would add to his specialty, the 200 meters. His coach had urged him to do the 400. At 6-foot-5, the thought went, Bolt was simply too awkward to burst from the starting blocks and build enough speed to win the shortest sprint.Everybody thought wrong.I wasnt really looking for a world record, Bolt said that night, but it was there for the taking.He took it again in Beijing. Then took it in the 200. Then again in the 4x100 relay. He closed out his Olympic career in style Friday night, making it 9 for 9 in the Olympic sprints.I watched that first race in New York, along with all 325 seconds he spent sprinting in the cumulative 23 races hes run at the Olympics -- in Beijing, London and, now, Rio de Janeiro.I watched track and field become fun again.Even at its best, the sprint game had always been a motley collection of unsmiling, sneering faces with loads of trouble seemingly lingering around every curve.Bolt wadded up that stereotype. Yes, sprinting is serious and very difficult work, he showed us. But this stuff can also be eminently watchable. Not just the reggae-filled, selfie-taking, To-The-World-posing after-parties, which Bolt has turned into performance art.The races themselves, too.Time after time, I saw him burst out of those blocks in the 100 and wondered, hows he going to pull this off? Most of the time, he had been losing at the halfway point. By the end, he was almost always far in front.I couldnt believe what I was seeing in Beijing, sitting 10 rows up from the finish line, when he hotdogged down the final eight steps of his 100, casting his arms to his side, then thumping his chest, then breaking his own world record nonetheless.Jacques Rogge, the president of the International Olympic Committee at the time, had the temerity to criticize Bolts joy, saying thats not the way we perceive a champion.As tone deaf and clueless as it sounded then, it makes even less sense today.Bolt has saved his sport and, in turn, kept the Olympics relevant -- not such a small deal in the wake of whats happened at these games, with their constant alerts about violence, disorganization and Ryan Lochte.Without Bolt, the final week of the last three Olympics would have been an endless loop of beach volleyball and hoops and wishing Michael Phelps or Americas latest gold-medal gymnast competed in those events, too. Track, supposedly the glue that brings the whole thing together, would be nothing more than a collection of pole vaulters, distance runners and others whos every accomplishment immediately falls under the lens of the ever-present doping microscope: Is anything you see in this stadium really to be believed?Yes, we should, and have, asked those questions of Bolt, too. Jamaicas anti-doping program is flawed. Who knows whats really going on there?But Bolt has insisted he is clean. He has done it in a serious tone. He has also insisted, at different times, that yams, Chicken McNuggets, his Aunt Lillys jerk pork and, yes, the nutrients from his pints of Guinness have powered him to the top.He has come close, a few times, to being knocked off, and Ive seen Bolt at his most vulnerable.Last year, back in Beijing for the world championships, he was injured and nowhere near his best.Justin Gatlin should have beaten him in the 100 but started leaning into the finish line too soon and Bolt persevered by one-hundredth of one second. In doing so, Bolt checked the box that anyone seeking to be called The Greatest must check at least once: Gritting one out when youre not at your best.Feeling he was the faster man, Gatlin said he had something in store for Bolt in the 200, a few nights later.You dont talk about my 200 meters like that, Bolt said. It was the most-telling sentence Ive ever heard him speak.He spanked Gatlin -- powering his long legs through a curve that was built for him, then going into hyperdrive down the straightway in a race he calls his baby. Bolt got upended by a Segway during the celebration. He popped right up. He delivers great theatre even when he doesnt mean to.In 2012, I saw him in Kingston, dealing with leg injuries and the remnants of an out-of-form preseason at Jamaicas version of Olympic trials.Yohan Blake beat him not once, but twice, that week.This, ladies and gentlemen, is the man to beat at the London Olympics, I wrote after the second win, speaking of Blake.Those are 13 words I wish I could have back.In Rio, as Friday night morphed into Saturday morning, I was in the press tribune, putting a bow on what Bolt insists will be his last run at the Olympics.From the darkened field below, the shouts of Usain Bolt, Usain Bolt started ringing out.I squinted, saw a tall man in yellow shirt and shorts hoisting a javelin, with a few dozen workers and cameramen surrounding him.The man took a few long steps, reared back and let the javelin fly. It pierced the grass, not all that far downfield, but a pretty nice throw nonetheless.Could that really have been The Worlds Fastest Man -- all wrung out, out of words, too tired to entertain anymore -- throwing the javelin down there at 2 in the morning for fun?It was.I couldnt take my eyes off him. Then again, who ever could?---National Writer Eddie Pells has covered more than 30 of Bolts races at Olympics and world championships, starting with his first world record in 2008 and ending Friday night in Rio de Janeiro.http://www.ramsrookiestore.com/Rams-Alec-Ogletree-Jersey/ .Y. -- Paul Byron and Matt Stajan scored as the Calgary Flames started a five-game road trip with a 2-1 overtime win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday afternoon. http://www.ramsrookiestore.com/Rams-Zach-Laskey-Jersey/ . That left plenty of energy for pitching books and swatting away free agency questions. Anthony had 24 points and nine rebounds, and the Knicks avenged an embarrassing home loss with a rout of their own, beating the Boston Celtics 114-88 on Wednesday night for their third straight victory. http://www.ramsrookiestore.com/Hoodie/ . -- For the first time in two months, an opponent was standing up to Alabama.Alun Rossiter will remain in charge of Team Great Britain for the 2017 season. Rossiter, who led the team to a silver medal behind Poland in this years World Cup final at Belle Vue in July, will be at the helm for a fourth successive season.And he is already planning pre-season training for the riders and members of the U21 contingent. Rossiter said: Im proud and honoured to be appointed for a fourth season and I would like to thank the promoters for putting their faith in me once again.Im very pleased to get confirmation of this and I will be doing everything I can to help make us a success.I certainly think we can make the race-off in Poland. Its nice to be back at Kings Lynn on July 1, although the silver medal we won at Belle Vue last summer was a very special moment.GB will face Australia, USA and Czech Republic in Event 1 on Saturday, July 1 next year - but they will be without double world champion Tai Woffinden who has stood down from the national team. http://www.ramsrookiestore.com/Rams-Josh-Reynolds-Jersey/. Tai Woffinden will not be in action for Great Britain next term Without Tai we have to move on, said Rossiter.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Claude Giroux Jersey . -- Florida State has had great success under Jimbo Fisher against in-state rivals Miami and Florida. So much in fact, that the 15th-ranked Seminoles are poised to enter unchartered territory.If they can defeat the 13th-ranked Gators on Saturday, it would mark the first time FSU has defeated both Miami and Florida four straight years.Fisher, who is in his seventh season, has a 16-1 record against in-state opponents, including 12-1 against the Gators and Seminoles.The importance that Florida State stresses on winning in state received some attention over the summer. Last years Peach Bowl rings celebrated winning the mythical Sunshine State title.We put the goals in which we achieve on those rings, and that was one of the goals we achieved, Fisher said. The state of Florida is a dynamic football state. If you can play with Miami and Florida, youre usually in the national title hunt. Its always going to be important.With three losses, the Seminoles are left with two things to play for -- the state championship and the programs fifth straight 10-win season. Florida though is headed to the SEC championship game after clinching the East Division.The same scenarios were in play last year as the Seminoles posted a 27-2 victory. If FSU can win on Saturday it would mark only the third time in series history they have defeated UF four straight years and first time since 1990.We both recruited a bunch of the same guys, so there arent a lot of secrets there, Florida coach Jim McElwain said.Both teams come into the game with plenty of momentum, especially on defense.The Gators -- who had a late goal-line stand to preserve a 16-10 win over LSU -- are ranked third in the nation in scoring defense, allowing just 13.0 points per game, and fifth in total defense (262.1 yards per game).Fisher said his biggest concern is containing Floridas front seven. The Gators though will be missing linebacker Jarrad Davis (ankle), who leads the team in tackles with 56.The problem with these guys is you pick one guy to double-team, youre singled up with everyone else. You roll the dice, Fisher said.Florida State (8-3) has rolled to wins over Boston College and Syracuse by a combined score of 90-21 while limiting them to 379 total yards. The Seminoles lead the nation in sacks with 41 as defensive end DeMarcus Walker is second with 13.0.Both teams head into the week with questions at safety. Floridas Nick Washington sprained his ankle against LSU and will not play on Saturday. McElwain said that freshman Chauncey Gardner Jr. could get the start. Two weeks ago safety Marcus Maye was lost due to a broken arm.Florida State starting safety Tre Marshall is still nursing a bruised hip but Fisher was optimistic that he could play this week. However starting free safety A.J. Westbrook and backup Calvin Brewton are in concussion protocol and are questionable.Both coaches are also looking to stop the others running game. Floridas Jordan Scarlett has rushed for over 100 yards in three of his past five games, including 108 against LSU. Fisher said the one thing that concerns him about the sophomore is his power and change of direction.Dalvin Cook set Florida States career rushing record at Syracuse and has 4,166 yards in three seasons. The junior, who had 225 yards and four touchdowns last week, has rushed for over 100 yards the last two times he has faced the Gators.The big thing is, weve got to get people around the ball because hes going to make some guys miss and thats what makes him so special, McElwain said.This marks the 19th time since 1994 that both teams have met and are ranked in the top 15. Junior receiver Brandon Powell said he knows the bragging rights that are at stake.This game is like no other. Playing against guys you grew up with, you know, played against them in high school, they want to beat you just as much as you want to beat them so you know its going to be an even game. Im looking forward to this one, he said.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Joe Reedy at www.twitter.com/joereedySamuel Morin Jersey . Barcelona also left injured defenders Carles Puyol, Javier Mascherano and Jordi Alba out of its squad for the trip to Glasgow. That means that Marc Bartra will probably start again in the centre of the defence alongside Gerard Pique. Jaromir Jagr Jersey . I cant pinpoint a date, but I do remember a player from my youth. Brian Downing was with the Chicago White Sox at a time when I listened to every game I possibly could on the radio. That particular season the late great Harry Caray was calling the White Sox games. http://www.flyersauthority.com/authentic-brandon-manning-flyers-jersey/ . Halifax beat the Saint John Sea Dogs 7-5 on the strength of two goals apiece from Nikolaj Ehlers, Matt Murphy and Brent Andrews. Jonathan Drouin also scored and had three assists while Zachary Fucale made 17 saves for the Mooseheads (16-8-0), who led 6-1 after two periods. Serenas BestOn-Court FashionSerena Williams is the best tennis player in the history of the sport -- and the most fiercely stylish athlete of all time. Fashion is her passion; she studied design for two years and oversees two successful clothing collections with Nike and HSN. Off the court, Serena is a chameleon: sexy, demure or elegant. On the court, her body-conscious ensembles -- and her history-making wins -- have helped cement the tennis stars legendary status. Slay, Miss Williams.

Flirty, playful and unapologetically modern, Serenas style game has just enough Compton to shake folks up.2Fallen Angel2014 Wimbledon doubles with sister, VenusSerena was forced to retire from the match after appearing disoriented and double faulting. Rumors swirled that she was either drunk, on drugs or was pregnant, all of which she denied. Pity that the controversy overshadowed one of her classiest on-court looks. Extra points awarded for her soft, pretty hairstyle and elegant cat-eye makeup.3Crimson Tide2008 US Open final against Jelena JankovicCare to see the most spontaneous expression of adult joy from the best athlete in the world?

This was a loud, no-nonsense bit of business, and Serena dazzled as she dominated Sharapova to claim her 19 Grand Slam win.7Sassy and Classy2016 Wimbledon fourth round against Annika BeckWimbledons traditional whites have always looked gorgeous against Serenas sun-kissed brown skin, and this Nike dress played that up beautifully. It also captured the two sides of Ms. Williams on-court personality -- the tight, take-no-prisoners turtleneck top is paired with a classic swingy pleated skirt.8She Wears Short Shorts2003 Rome MastersThese bright Clockwork Orange micro-shorts were a peak into Serenas vivid and provocative fashion imagination. The look blended small Paris catwalk details (a wide, low-slung belt and tiny back pockets) with a colorful summer-in-Ibiza aesthetic.9Low-Key Drama2006 US OpenThe dress that brought something slightly unexpected to the storied hardcourts of Flushing Meadows, New York.

Roy Krishna has continued his stellar A-League form to inspire Wellington to a dominant 2-0 win over a flat Central Coast in Canberra. http://www.redskinsrookiestore.com/Customized/ .Krishna showed off his signature speed in the 49th minute on Saturday to net his fourth goal in three games before putting one on a platter for teammate Hamish Watson soon after.The Phoenix overcame the loss of five international players to record back-to-back wins for the first time in 13 months, and their first road victory for the campaign.The visitors took advantage of the free flowing affair in the Mariners home for the night in Canberra, firing off seven shots on target compared to just two for the hosts.Wellington coach Ernie Merrick described his attacking trio of Krishna, Watson and Roly Bonevacia as first class but was just as proud of his inexperienced line-up.Hamish did really well. Roy was on fire upfront and his pace is incredible. We knew that, so wed set up for a counter attacking game, Merrick said.Our defence though, that was where the real inexperience was. Lui Italiano, that was his second game. Ryan Lowry, thats his first A-League game.Jacob Tratts only played six and the left back hasnt played left back very often, Mark Ridenton. So with an experienced line-up at the back, we had to make sure we were very compact and we relied on fastbreaking and I thought Roy, Hamish and Roly were first class.Wellington started underdogs in front of the 5497 at GIO Stadium, having lost regular first-teamers to New Zealand duty, including Kosta Barbarouses, Glen Moss and Andrew Durante.But they made a mockery of having an understrength unit against a loose Mariners defence that struggled to contain the Phoenixs speed and wizardry in the front third.Central Coast goalkeeper Paul Izzo had his hands full from start to finish, pulling off three classy saves in the opening 15 minutes, and watched a set piece crash against his posts.Left back Scott Galloway also succumbed to a first-half hamstring strain.The home side werent without their own opportunities, with Fabio Ferreira twice cannoning free kicks into a wall before halftime, and Roy ODonovan spurning a decent chance just after.However, Wellington were in control for most of the match and edged ahead when Krishna flew onto a long ball from Watson, took a touch past an advancing Izzo and finished acutely.The 29-year-old then returned the favour to Watson seven minutes later, latching onto a Finkler through-ball and teeing up a goal into an open net.It was probably the worst performance so far this season, certainly that first half, Mariners coach Paul Okon said.If its one from six, you cop it on the chin, move forward and you try to make sure it doesnt happen. But tonight wasnt the level we expect and it needs to be better next week.http://www.redskinsrookiestore.com/Redskins-Terrelle-Pryor-Jersey/ .ca NHL Power Rankings for the second straight week, ahead of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Colorado Avalanche. http://www.redskinsrookiestore.com/Redskins-Terrell-Mcclain-Jersey/ .

LONDON -- Arsenal strengthened its squad by signing striker Lucas Perez from Deportivo La Coruna and Germany defender Shkodran Mustafi from Valencia on the next-to-last day of Europes transfer window on Tuesday.England goalkeeper Joe Harts departure from Manchester City looked to move closer after he appeared with a Torino shirt after visiting the Italian club.Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been trying to buy a striker since the end of last season, only to see bids for Leicesters Jamie Vardy and Lyons Alexandre Lacazette get rejected. With time running out to add to his squad, Wenger settled on the 27-year-old Lucas -- a scorer of 17 goals last season.Hes not only a goal scorer, hes a guy who combines well with partners, who can give a final ball and makes good runs, Wenger said. Hes got a good eye for goal and had an outstanding season last year.British media reported Lucas will cost Arsenal about 17 million pounds ($22.3 million).Within hours, Arsenal had also re-shuffled its defensive options by signing center half Mustafi for a reported fee of 35 million pounds ($45.7 million), and sending Calum Chambers on loan to promoted Premier League club Middlesbrough.The 24-year-old Mustafi, who will join up with fellow Germany international Mesut Ozil at Arsenal, came through the Everton academy before going on to join Sampdoria and then spending the last two seasons at Valencia.Mustafi became Wenggers third high-profile signing for the new season, having brought in Switzerlands defensive midfielder Granit Xhaka from Borussia Moenchengladbach in May. http://www.redskinsrookiestore.com/Redskins-Junior-Galette-Jersey/. .Hart was on the verge of leaving Man City on loan, having landed in Italy to tie up a move to Torino for the remainder of the season. He has slipped to third-choice goalkeeper at City, behind new signing Claudio Bravo and Willy Caballero.The 29-year-old was greeted by around 200 fans loudly chanting his name at Torinos headquarters, and there were further cheers and applause when he appeared at the window brandishing a club jersey with his name on the back.Hart was given permission to leave the England camp to seal the move.Back in London, Chelsea loaned France striker Loic Remy to Crystal Palace for the rest of the season.Hull signed three players: England midfielder Ryan Mason from Tottenham for an undisclosed club-record fee, Scotland goalkeeper David Marshall from second-tier team Cardiff, and striker Will Keane from Manchester United.Sunderland sent Netherlands midfielder Jeremain Lens on loan to Turkish club Fenerbahce for the rest of the season, a year after signing him for 8 million pounds ($10.5 million) from Dynamo Kiev.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Declaring that the global drug-testing system is damaged, Olympic leaders and anti-doping officials vowed Tuesday to fix the problems and prevent the type of scandal that has embroiled Russian athletes in the lead-up to the games in Rio de Janeiro. Aaron Dell Jersey .The IOC and the World Anti-Doping Agency clashed again Tuesday over the allegations of state-sponsored doping in Russia that have rattled the Olympic movement and created chaos ahead of Fridays opening ceremony in Rio.But both sides agreed on one thing -- the need to repair the international anti-doping system and restore trust and credibility in the fight against drugs.This is not about destroying structures, IOC President Thomas Bach said, referring to WADA. This is about improving significantly a system in order to have a robust and efficient anti-doping system so that such a situation that we face now cannot happen again.Bach spoke after a debate in which International Olympic Committee members overwhelmingly backed the executive boards decision not to take the nuclear option of banning Russias entire Olympic team. Bach and many members pointed fingers at WADA for failing to act sooner on evidence of state-run doping in Russia and for releasing its findings so close to the start of the games.I dont feel as if Ive been run under a bus, WADA chief Craig Reedie told reporters, insisting that both sides were in general accord on the need to find solutions for the future.Somebody said this system is broken, he said. I dont think all the system is broken. i think quite a lot of the system still works, but that certain parts of the system need revision.Reedie said he had received assurances from officials at high levels of the Russia government that they accept they have a problem and need to fix it.It is absolutely essential that we cannot have the biggest country in the world non-compliant on a permanent basis, he said.Bach opened the IOCs three-day general assembly by seeking formal backing for the boards decisions on the Russian crisis. After a debate lasting more than two hours, Bach asked for a show of hands, and only one of the 85 members -- Britains Adam Pengilly -- voted against his position.Despite evidence of a vast state-organized program involving Olympic sports in Russia, the IOC board rejected calls for a total ban and left it to international sports federations to decide on the entry of individual Russian athletes for the games.Bach said it would be wrong to make individual Russian athletes collateral damage for the wrongdoing of their government.Leaving aside that such a comparison is completely out of any proportion when it comes to the rules of sport, let us just for a moment consider the consequences of a `nuclear option, Bach said. The result is death and devastation. This is not what the Olympic Movement stands for. The cynical `collateral damage approach is not what the Olympic movement stands for.The IOC has been roundly criticized by many anti-doping bodies, athletes groups and Western media for not applying a complete ban on the Russian team. Pressure for a full ban grew after WADA investigator Richard McLaren issued a report accusing Russias sports ministry of orchestrating doping program and cover-ups involving athletes across more than two dozen summer and winter Olympic sports.Natural justice does not allow us to deprive a human being of the right to prove their innocence, Bach said.Underlying the deep split between Olympic leaders and anti-doping officials, Bach and others put the responsibility on WADA.I think its not the reputation of the IOC that has to be restored, its the reputation of WADA, Israeli member Alex Gilady said.Argentine member Gerardo Werthein added: At times WADA has seemed to be more interested in publicity and self-promotion rather than doing its job as a regulator.Reedie said he spoke later with both men and addressed their concerns.IOC spokesman Mark Adams said Reedies positon was not compromised by the debate.We dont always agree on everything, he said. It wasnt a totally one-sided debate. We aired a lot of issues.Russian Olympic Committee President Alexander Zhukov claimed there was a political campaign against Russia and cited discrimination against clean athletes not connected to doping.I urge you to resist this unprecedented pressure that is now on the entire Olympic movement and not to let this pressure to split the entire Olympic family, he said.U.S. member Larry Probst said it was wrong to attribute the problem to international politics.We have a doping problem, the U.S. Olympic Committee chairman said. And its not just Russia, its global. The current system is broken and we need to fix the problem.A few members did question the IOC decision to keep Russian whistleblower Yulia Stepanova -- an 800-meter runner who helped expose systematic doping in her homeland -- out of the games.If there was to be one exception, it should have been her, Richard Peterkin of St. Lucia said.The strongest criticism came from Canadian member Dick Pound, a former president of WADA who has been outspoken in calling for a complete ban on Russia -- something he had previously called the nuclear option. He said the reputation of the IOC was on the line.We need to do a lot more to show that we really do care about fair play, honest competition and clean athletes, he said.By the end, however, Pound was among the 84 members who voted in favor.The arrows left the bow, he said. The decision has been made, its not going to be changed between now and the start of the games.---AP Sports Writer Stephen Wade contributed to this report.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts made a choice. Cheap Juventus Jersey .Rather than take their bye week immediately after playing in London, like every other team has done, they delayed it.Turns out, it was a perfectly timed win-win. First, the Colts beat the Chicago Bears seven days after returning from their European excursion and now they head into their weekend off following a crucial win at Green Bay. They couldnt have plotted it any better.We need to build on that (win) now, Andrew Luck said. I think this week comes at a perfect time to self-evaluate and to see football-wise, tactically, and technique-wise maybe why it hasnt been as good as you want it to be.Certainly, this has not been the season the Colts envisioned. At 4-5, they still havent won back-to-back games. They trail defending AFC South champion Houston by 1+ games.They relied on a makeshift secondary to get through September, and a makeshift offensive line to survive October, perhaps paying a price for their patience. While Luck has been sacked a league-high 33 times and is on pace to go down almost 60 times this season, the short-handed defense is ranked No. 29 overall.Its been even tougher than it looks.Indys first three wins all came courtesy of fourth-quarter comebacks, and Sundays by staving off the Packers late rally.Luck spent the first half of the season getting acclimated to a new offensive line and a new offensive coordinator while the defense tried to learn the new system installed by first-time defensive coordinator Ted Monachino.Coach Chuck Pagano heard critics complain about slow starts, poor decisions, a torrent of penalties and a continual barrage of mistakes. Some even questioned whether Pagano should be fired during the bye week.Yet his message never wavered. He implored players to buckle down, clean things up and stick to the plan. He even sent them home with a friendly reminder to come back ready to work.For us to not build on this, for us not to do the right thing and not stay in our iPads and go work out and do the things necessary over the next four or five days that need to be done and not take advantage of this (win), then shame on us, Pagano said. Thats on all of us.Whether that offseason decision to push back the bye was shrewd planning or just dumb luck, things have worked out.As Luck and his teammates spoke to reporters, there was a noticeable change. They looked relaxed, happy and eager to start what they hope will be a more enjoyable final seven weeks.That was probably the most fun I had in my whole career, that game right there, Pro Bowl receiver T.Y. Hilton said, referring to Sundays victory. Just to be able to play at full strength and have that many weapons, it makes my job easier, it makes their job easier, and especially Andrews (job).The one looming question is timing. Pagano acknowledged that even in the locker room, there were players who wanted to build off the momentum from Sunday and keep playing.Savvy veterans such as 35-year-old outside linebacker Robert Mathis want to see the Colts do that, too, after some badly needed rest.We need the break. Ill leave it at that, Mathis said with a laugh.The schedule wont be forgiving, either. They play two home games in five days in Thanksgiving week before hitting the road for three of the next four games.If they intend to chase down Houston and capture their third division title in four years and return to the playoffs, the Colts cant afford to take another break. They need to come back rested, ready and healthy enough to turn their late bye week into an advantage that will help them during the closing flurry.Yes, 100 percent, Luck said about stringing together some wins. And the goal is for us to look back and this (victory) to not be the biggest win of the year. This wont be the highlight of the year.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Mattia De Sciglio Jersey .

In November 1962 one of crickets lingering anachronisms was finally abolished when the distinction between amateurs and professionals was officially scrapped. While of significance until World War Two - until the growth of Test cricket, outside an Ashes summer the highlight were the Gentlemen v Players matches - it all but fell apart in the social upheaval that followed.The splitting of players into two distinct groups was a fundamental part of the game. In its simplest form, professionals were paid, amateurs (widely known as gentlemen) were not. Within that the British class system was prevalent. Almost all amateurs were public school or at least middle-class; the professionals were generally working-class. Even then there were professionals who made a living from the game and those who were professional because they could not afford to me amateurs.Professionals were often treated much as servants would be and were expected to be as deferential to amateurs and committeemen as a butler would be to the master of the house. They had separate hotels when they travelled, separate changing rooms and food at the grounds, referred to by their surnames only, and at most counties could never aspire to captaincy. Even scorecards made a small but marked distinction - amateurs were given full initials, professionals surname only.Perhaps the way captaincy was handled was the most ridiculous aspect of it all. Professionals were deemed unable to take on such a role and so often found themselves playing under amateur captains who were barely of club standard. Counties often scratched round to find someone - anyone - willing to take charge. Some were so poor that they did little more than stand on the field while the senior professionals ran the show.The lines between the two were always murky - WG Grace, technically an amateur, earned more from the game than even the top professionals - and caused deep resentment. After World War One fewer people had the time or money to play for the fun of it and so the lines became ever more blurred. Some were often found work by counties and given under-the-counter payments to allow them to remain amateur - or shamateurs as they were widely known - making the distinction even more meaningless.In 1938 Wally Hammond had to switch from being a professional to a gentleman to allow him to become England captain. He was the same man, the same cricketer, but overnight he became acceptable in the eyes of the establishment. Even when Len Hutton became Englands first professional captain in 1952 it was only after he refused to go down the same route as Hammond. The mood of the country after World War Two was one of change and in 1946 Glamorgan proposed the abolition of the amateur but they found little support.By the late 1950s the distinction had long lost any credibility and amateurs were all but extinct. One by one the distinctions - dressing rooms, initials on scorecards, accommodation - were chipped away but the old guard refused to go down without a fight. Several committees reported it was time to treat everyone as simply cricketers but it was not until May 1962 the Advisory County Committee put forward a proposal to scrap amateur status.To distinguish between them is often humbug, reported the Times. That did not stop the same newspaper still refusing to print initials for anyone other than the so-called amateurs in the first matches on the 1962-63 MCC tour of Australia. At the start of the MCC tour of Australia the ccaptain, Ted Dexter, nominally still an amateur, admitted he earned considerably more from cricket than his various business ventures. Douglas Costa Jersey. The debate rumbled on all summer but even those who fought the change seemed to realise they were railing against the dying of the light. The curtain came down at Scarborough when fittingly the Players beat the Gentlemen in the final match of the summer. It was the 274th meeting of the teams in a contest dating back to 1806.On November 26 the 17 first-class counties met at Lords and after a six-hour meeting voted - although not unanimously - to end the distinction. The formal and official scrapping of amateur status came on January 31, 1963 when the MCC confirmed without dissent the earlier decision.Its a sad day and signals the end of an era, said Sir Jack Hobbs, the first professional to be knighted for services to the game. They were a great asset because they could freely whereas many professionals felt they couldnt take chances.In the Daily Telegraph EW Swanton lamented the change and questioned the moral authority of those making the decision.Those views were in a minority. in the same paper Michael Melford countered all that had been abolished was a form of legalised deceit. And Herbert Sutcliffe, who as a professional had turned down an at-the-time remarkable approach to captain the ultra-conservative Yorkshire in 1927, said he was in full agreement. Stuart Surridge, who as an amateur had led Surrey to seven successive Championships in the 1950s, said its a good thing … we are all cricketers at heart.Vic Wilson, who led Yorkshire to the Championship in 1962, said: A team is one body of men … it is commonsense to out all players on one footing.In a lead editorial the Daily Mirror congratulated the lawmakers … this silly social distinction needed hitting for six and could not resist a swipe at the Times into the bargain. Perhaps now this olde-world journal will print the initials of all MCC players … or is that expecting too much? As with many such long-debated changes there was actually little fallout. The Gentlemen v Players game disappeared off the fixture list but was largely unmourned. Several counties who had steadfastly refused to pick a professional captain were freed to choose the best man with a clear conscience.On February 14 Surrey picked their first non-amateur captain in Micky Stewart, ten years at the club but until then ineligible for the role. He said: It was a farce that an amateur could receive money for putting his name to sports equipment and writing articles without it affecting his status.Ken Grieves, who took charge at Lancashire that same summer, was even blunter. This cuts out the snobbery, he said. In the past a lot of things have been pushed aside for the old school tie.What happened next?Former England spinner Phil Edmonds asked to play as an amateur in 1988 as his business ventures meant he couldnt afford the time to commit to full-time cricket. You decide which games you want me to play, and Ill play, for nothing, he said according to the Daily Telegraph and he even began signing autographs Mr P H Edmonds. His offer was refused by the committee and he retiredIn 2010 a match between Gentlemen and Players was staged at Wormsley, with the Gentlemen recording their first win since 1953.

MIDDLESBROUGH, England -- Chelsea moved to the top of the English Premier League on Sunday after a first-half strike by Diego Costa earned the visitors a convincing 1-0 victory at Middlesbrough. Glenn Hubbard Jersey .Chelsea dominated the game and was rewarded for its unrelenting pressure when Costa scored four minutes before the break, reacting quickest to a loose ball after a goalmouth melee and firing home from close range. It was his 10th goal of the season.Middlesbrough showed more ambition in the second half but the next clear chance also fell to Chelsea, shortly after the hour mark, when defender David Luiz pushed forward and sent a high cross into the area. Costa headed the ball back invitingly for Pedro Rodr?guez -- but his first-time shot slammed against the crossbar.After six consecutive league wins without conceding a goal, Chelsea now has 28 points from 12 games in Antonio Contes first season in charge.Liverpool and Manchester City have 27 points each, with Arsenal in fourth with 25.

MONZA, Italy -- Lewis Hamilton topped the third and final practice session for the Italian Grand Prix with a healthy 0.4s advantage over Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg.The Mercedes drivers also exchanged quickest times in Fridays two practice sessions and on Saturday morning looked like they were on another planet at F1s most power-dependent circuit. Hamiltons session-leading 1:22.008 was nearly a full second clear of Sebastian Vettels Ferrari in third place. Kimi Raikkonen finished fourth as Ferrari appeared to hold its Friday advantage over Red Bull.Williams drivers Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa took the next two spots after showing their usual Saturday morning improvement. The team will be hoping to carry that form over into qualifying as it looks to overhaul Force India in the battle for fourth. Daniel Ricciardo finished seventh for Red Bull, 1.7s off the lead and half a second off the nearest Ferrari.Max Verstappen finished eighth and continued to be at the center of incidents, blocking Rosberg at the Roggia chicane early on. That led a frustrated Rosberg to ask Mercedes What the hell was that? Verstappen was later on his own radio complaining about Kevin Magnussen blocking him on the exit of Ascari, with the Dutchman having to take to the kerbs to avoid the Renault driver.

Kevin Durant and the Los Angeles Clippers met for approximately four hours Friday night in the Hamptons, and sources close to the situation say Durant was blown away by the Clippers presentation. http://www.bearsrookiestore.com/Bears-Cameron-Meredith-Jersey/ .Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, president Doc Rivers, executive vice president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan were present at the meeting.According to a source, Durant was incredibly impressed by the vision and direction of the Clippers and made a strong connection with those at the meeting.Chris Paul did not make it to the meeting but spoke to Durant beforehand and made his pitch over the phone; the two have talked throughout the process, including last week, sources told ESPN.Durant met with the Spurs on Saturday morning and that presentation lasted under two hours, sources told ESPNs Marc Stein. Durant is meeting with the Boston Celtics later on Saturday and the Miami Heat on Sunday, according to sources.Durant previously sat down with the incumbent Thunder on Thursday in Oklahoma City, with league sources saying that meeting went well and OKC was in a strong position to retain Durants services.A firm decision on where the four-time scoring champion will play next season, sources previously told ESPN, is expected sooner rather than later after he meets with all five teams that secured invitations to the Hamptons for weekend sit-downs.Durant met with the Golden State Warriors earlier Friday, sources said, a pitch that was scheduled to include Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, coach Steve Kerr, general manager Bob Myers and owner Joe Lacob.Multiple sources, including friends and business associates of Durants, previously told The Undefeateds Marc Spears that, barring an unbelievable pitch from one of the teams trying to woo Durant, those close to him expect Durant to return to the Thunder next season.His decision is 90 percent made, a longtime friend told Spears.Said another colleague: Its going to take some sweet-talking to get him to pass up all the money he can get by staying in OKC.ESPNs Arash Markazi, Ramona Shelburne and Marc Stein contributed to this report. http://www.bearsrookiestore.com/Customized/ .
