A lot has happened this NFL offseason. http://www.officiallionsgear.com/Lions-Ricky-Wagner-Draft-Jersey/ . Just ask Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.Exiting the NFL draft and entering the early May Power Rankings, the Patriots were the No. 1 team. Then, in mid-July, Brady ended his fight against the NFL and accepted his four-game suspension. Enter Jimmy Garoppolo at quarterback for four games, and exit the Patriots as the No. 1 team in ESPNs Preseason Power Rankings.Heres how ESPNs power panel (a group of more than 80 writers, editors and TV personalities) voted in the preseason version of the Power Rankings. ESPNs Stats & Information contributed the following information.Look back at our post-NFL draft Power Rankings here?and our post-free agency Power Rankings here.1. Seattle Seahawks2015 record: 10-6 Post-draft ranking: No. 4This is the fourth straight season that the Seahawks opened the preseason as the top team in ESPNs Power Rankings, and with good reason. The defense has allowed the fewest points each of the past four seasons.2. Arizona Cardinals2015 record: 13-3 Post-draft ranking: No. 5Arizona has gotten better each season under coach Bruce Arians. If that trend continues, expect big things from a Cardinals team that set franchise records in wins (13) and points (489) in 2015.3. New England Patriots2015 record: 12-4 Post-draft ranking: No. 1The Patriots started 2-2 or worse in three of their four Super Bowl-winning seasons, so forgive our voters for not overreacting to Tom Bradys four-game suspension being upheld. The Pats are still the team to beat in the AFC.4. Green Bay Packers2015 record: 10-6 Post-draft ranking: No. 3The Packers scored their fewest points since 2006 last season, but the prospect of a healthy Jordy Nelson and slimmed down Eddie Lacy could have Aaron Rodgers and the Packers scoring like were used to.5. Carolina Panthers2015 record: 15-1 Post-draft ranking: No. 2The Panthers have a tough act to follow, after they won 15 games last season, but no team in NFL history has ever followed a 15-win season with anything less than a 10-win season.6. Pittsburgh Steelers2015 record: 10-6 Post-draft ranking: No. 6Ben Roethlisberger averaged 328 passing yards per game last season, third-highest all time in a single season. With LeVeon Bell serving yet another suspension, the Steelers could be relying on Big Bens arm a lot more in 2016.7. Cincinnati Bengals2015 record: 12-4 Post-draft ranking: No. 7The Bengals, of all teams, have been a model of consistency under coach Marvin Lewis and QB Andy Dalton. They have made the playoffs in five straight seasons ... and theyve lost in the first round in five straight seasons.8. Denver Broncos2015 record: 12-4 Post-draft ranking: No. 8Peyton Manning is gone, but defense is what fuels the Broncos now. Consider this: Even with Manning last season, the Broncos finished 28th in passing touchdowns and 25th in Total QBR and threw the most interceptions.9. Kansas City Chiefs2015 record: 11-5 Post-draft ranking: No. 10The Chiefs lost to the Patriots in the division playoffs last season, but no team currently has a longer regular-season win streak than Kansas City (10 games). In fact, no other team has a streak longer than three games.10. Minnesota Vikings2015 record: 11-5 Post-draft ranking: No. 9In 2013, the year before coach Mike Zimmer arrived, the Vikings ranked last in points allowed. In 2015, Zimmers second year, they finished fifth. If the offense can score some points, expect the Vikings to stay in the top 10.11. Oakland Raiders2015 record: 7-9 Post-draft ranking: No. 13The Raiders? Ranked 11th? Derek Carr, Amari Cooper and Khalil Mack have our voters intrigued, but -- not to sound cliché -- they still have to learn how to win. The Raiders had an NFL-worst minus-60 point differential in the fourth quarter last season.12. Baltimore Ravens2015 record: 5-11 Post-draft ranking: No. 14The Ravens won five games in 2007 and followed that with an 11-5 season. The Ravens won six games in 2005 and followed that with a 13-3 season. The Ravens dont stay down for long, so expect a big bounce back following their 5-11 2015 season.13. Dallas Cowboys2015 record: 4-12 Post-draft ranking: No. 11Dak Prescott wowed fans in his NFL debut, and though it was just preseason, the Cowboys need a capable backup quarterback. Tony Romo has missed at least one game in each of the past three seasons, and he missed 12 in 2015. In those three seasons, the Cowboys are 1-13 when Romo doesnt start and 23-11 when he does.14. Indianapolis Colts2015 record: 8-8 Post-draft ranking: No. 12QB Andrew Luck has to be a lot better than he was last season. It would be easy to write off 2015 because of injuries, but Luck was tied for the league lead in turnovers (13) when he got hurt. Also, dont forget: The Colts were 2-5 with Luck and 6-3 with anyone else starting in 2015.15. New York Jets2015 record: 10-6 Post-draft ranking: No. 15The Jets and Ryan Fitzpatrick ended their will they, wont they offseason with a one-year deal. Was it the right move? Fitzpatrick set the Jets franchise record for touchdown passes (31) last season, but he also has zero career playoff appearances.16. Houston Texans2015 record: 9-7 Post-draft ranking: No. 17Our voters have the Texans in the middle of the pack, but their potential rise or fall will likely depend on their consistency at quarterback. The Texans finished 9-7 with four different starters last season. This season, its on Brock Osweiler to stay healthy.17. New York Giants2015 record:6-10 Post-draft ranking: No. 18If every game last season ended with exactly 75 seconds left, the Giants would have finished 10-5-1. This offseason, the Giants replaced coach Tom Coughlin with Ben McAdoo and gave away money (see?Olivier Vernon) like they gave away leads. Can the Giants play a full 60 minutes every week this season?18. Washington Redskins2015 record: 9-7 Post-draft ranking: No. 16Our voters dont have a lot of faith in the Redskins right now, and can you blame them? Although we liked?Kirk Cousins ascension, it came out of nowhere. Also working against Washington? The Redskins havent made the playoffs in back-to-back years since George H.W. Bush was president.19. Atlanta Falcons2015 record: 8-8 Post-draft ranking: No. 20An 8-8 season isnt the worst thing in the world, but its pretty close to it after you start 6-1. The Falcons have missed the playoffs in three straight years, and with center Alex Mack?the biggest offseason addition, the Falcons seem poised for another middling season.20. Jacksonville Jaguars2015 record: 5-11 Post-draft ranking: No. 23The Jaguars open the 2016 season Power Rankings at No. 20, which shows that our voters see potential in the teams young core. How so? That 20 ranking is tied for the Jaguars highest since Week 3 of the 2011 season.21. Chicago Bears2015 record: 6-10 Post-draft ranking: No. 25The Panthers went 11-5 in John Foxs second year as head coach. The Broncos went 13-3 in Foxs second year as head coach. This will be Foxs second year as head coach of the Bears. Will the Bears get their first 10-win season since 2012?22. New Orleans Saints2015 record: 7-9 Post-draft ranking: No. 27The Saints have Drew Brees, but their defense turns opponents quarterbacks into Brees. Against the Saints last season, quarterbacks posted a 68.4 completion percentage, 45 pass touchdowns, nine interceptions and 78.6 Total QBR.23. Tampa Bay Buccaneers2015 record: 6-10 Post-draft ranking: No. 29A few strong Jameis Winston starts out of the gate could very quickly have our voters singing a different tune about the Buccaneers. Had the Bucs finished stronger last season (they lost their last four after a 6-6 start), they might have been higher in these rankings.24. Buffalo Bills2015 record: 8-8 Post-draft ranking: No. 19Tyrod Taylor impressed in 2015, as he helped lead the Bills to an 8-8 record, but if the preseason rank of 24th is any indication, the Bills will be tacking another year onto their NFL-long 16-year playoff drought.25. Philadelphia Eagles2015 record: 7-9 Post-draft ranking: No. 22The Eagles are off to a rough start in 2016, as No. 2 overall pick Carson Wentz suffered broken ribs in the Eagles first preseason game. Its a good thing the Eagles re-signed Sam Bradford and signed career backup Chase Daniel for a combined $34 million guaranteed this offseason.26. Miami Dolphins2015 record:6-10 Post-draft ranking: No. 21Coach Adam Gase has been labeled a quarterback whisperer, so Ryan Tannehill better be listening. He posted a career-worst 43.1 Total QBR last season, despite a talented receiving corps that featured Jarvis Landry, who had a franchise-record 100 receptions last season.27. Detroit Lions2015 record: 7-9 Post-draft ranking: No. 24The loss of Calvin Johnson is big, but the Lions might not be getting the benefit of the doubt here. They went 6-2 over the second half of 2015, and Matthew Stafford will have Golden Tate, Anquan Boldin and Marvin Jones to throw to in 2016.28. San Diego Chargers2015 record: 4-12 Post-draft ranking: No. 28The good news is that Melvin Gordon, the 15th overall pick in 2015, scored his first NFL touchdown. The bad news is it came in the first preseason game of 2016. Still, if its a sign of things to come, it would be a boost for a Chargers team that ranked 31st in rushing last season.29. Los Angeles Rams2015 record: 7-9 Post-draft ranking: No. 26The Rams appearance on Hard Knocks has proved one thing so far:?Jared Goff doesnt know which direction the sun sets. Luckily for Goff, his star will rise out west if he can improve the Rams NFL-worst 35.6 Total QBR from last season.30. Tennessee Titans2015 record: 3-13 Post-draft ranking: No. 30This ranking for the Titans is less a reflection of Marcus Mariotas potential and more a glimpse of the future under coach Mike Mularkey. Since a 9-7 coaching debut with the Bills in 2004, Mularkey is 9-32 as a head coach.31. Cleveland Browns2015 record:?3-13 Post-draft ranking: No. 32In the Browns preseason debut, Robert Griffin III?threw an interception and Cody Kessler ran out of the back of his own end zone for a safety. Its good to see the Browns got their quarterback situation figured out.32. San Francisco 49ers2015 record: 5-11 Post-draft ranking: No. 31Blaine Gabbert is 8-27 in his career as a starting quarterback and has the worst completion percentage and Total QBR since he entered the NFL. He is currently in contention for the 49ers starting job. Thats ... not good. http://www.officiallionsgear.com/Lions-Jarrad-Davis-Draft-Jersey/ . He was followed closely by David Clarkson, donning red, seconds later. Clarksons actions one night earlier, leaping off the bench in defence of Kessel during a pre-season game against the Buffalo Sabres, will cost him the first 10 games of the regular season. Detroit Lions Jerseys . - Blake Griffin had 30 points and 12 rebounds, J. http://www.officiallionsgear.com/Lions-Jake-Rudock-Draft-Jersey/ . Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek defeated Nenad Zimonjic and Ilija Bozoljac 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (4) on the indoor hard-court at Belgrade Arena. The victory improved the Czech pairs impressive cup doubles record to 14-1. LOS ANGELES -- The Latest on the Derrick Rose rape lawsuit trial (all times local):1:50 p.m.NBA star Derrick Rose says hes thankful that a Los Angeles jury rejected a rape lawsuit against him and two friends.Rose says in a statement to The Associated Press that it was important to prove he did not do what he was accused of, even though he had to share private details of his personal life.The jury returned its verdict Wednesday afternoon in Los Angeles.Rose says hes ready to put the case behind him and to focus on his family and career.---1:35 p.m.Jurors have cleared NBA star Derrick Rose and two friends in a lawsuit that accused them of gang raping his ex-girlfriend when she was incapacitated from drugs or alcohol.The jury reached the verdict Wednesday in Los Angeles federal court after hearing dramatically different accounts of the August 2013 sexual encounter.Neither side denied the three men had sex with the woman, but the issue was whether she consented or was too intoxicated to do so.Defense lawyers tarred the woman as a liar who tried to sway jurors through her tears to get at Roses fortune. They claimed she was angry he had dumped her and she set him up and brought the lawsuit in hopes of a big payoff.The womans lawyer called the men sexual deviants and says they conspired to gang rape her after she was drunk and incapable of consenting to sex.---1:05 p.m.A federal jury in Los Angeles has reached a verdict in a lawsuit claiming Derrick Rose and two friends raped the ex-girlfriend of the NBA star.The verdict will be read Wednesday in U.S. District Court.The jury reached the verdict after hearing dramatically different accounts of the August 2013 sexual encounter.Neither side denied the three men had sex with the woman, but the issue was whether she consented or was too intoxicated to do so.Defense lawyers taarred the woman as a liar who tried to sway jurors through her tears to get at Roses fortune. http://www.officiallionsgear.com/Lions-Jalen-Reeves-Maybin-Draft-Jersey/.

TROON, Scotland -- The way Rory McIlroy is hitting the ball, he doesnt feel as though he should be eight shots behind 36-hole leader Phil Mickelson in the British Open. http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/Falcons-Laroy-Reynolds-Jersey/ . Blame that on the weather. McIlroys side of the draw got the worst of it over the opening two rounds at Royal Troon.Except that McIlroys knows better not to complain.Two years ago at Royal Liverpool, he was on the good side of the draw. McIlroy had a four-shot lead after two rounds and sailed to victory. So after coming in from the rain and wind -- particularly one 90-minute stretch on the back nine -- he was not surprised at how the leaderboard looked.Nor was he about to complain. Not too loudly, anyway.Its The Open Championship, McIlroy said. Some draws go your way and some draws dont. The last Open I played, I got the good end of the draw and good things happened that week. Then this year, its not so much. But Im not going to let being on the wrong side ruin my mood or ruin my week. I feel like Ive played very well and that gives me optimism going into the weekend.The nature of links golf, and this championship, is getting the good side of the tee times.Mickelson was soaked when he walked off the course, though he managed to get in eight holes Friday morning before the rain arrived. He had three birdies by then, didnt make his first bogey until the 30th hole of this championship and shot a 2-under 69.He was at 10-under 132 and led Henrik Stenson -- also playing Friday morning -- by one shot. Stenson made his birdies during lulls in the weather and shot 65.Go down the leaderboard to find more evidence.The top 14 players all played late on Thursday (the wind was mild and straight off the Irish Sea, the easiest direction) and early on Friday (the wind and rain didnt get really nasty until late in the afternoon).Of the 26 players who remained under par, only four of them were playing Friday afternoon.Some handled the misfortune well, such as McIlroy and even Jordan Spieth, who had to play the final six holes even par to shoot 75 and make the cut at 4-over 146 with no room to spare.Its tough when we all realize before we go out that youre kind of what would be the bad end of the draw before you even play your second round, Spieth said. But at 4-over par, my game is not major championship-winning caliber those first two rounds. It just made it pretty interesting and actually somewhat nervous on the last five, six holes because Id really like to play the weekend.Some didnt.Justin Rose started with a bogey, ended with a double bogey and was in no mood to appreciate that fickle weather is a big part of links golf.It was ridiculous, he said. When you see such a disparity between the draw, and you see no name from this side of the draw popping up, its just frustrating. Thats really about it. That group (Friday morning) was bound to make the cut. Great players, kind of doing their best to make the cut, kind of tells you it was tough out there.Standing outside the tented area was Padraig Harrington, who had finished moments earlier at 72 and was at even-par for the championship, 10 shots behind.The Irishman was not one to complain, and he stands as an example of how best to handle such situations.Go back to Royal Birkdale in 2008, when the wind and rain raged so strong that Sandy Lyle walked off the golf course after 10 holes, and Rich Beem opened with a 46 through nine holes and joined him. Such is The Open. Someone always gets the wrong end of the draw.Why is that significant?Harrington played in the same side, five tee times after Lyle. By Sunday, he was holding the claret jug. http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/Falcons-Ra-Shede-Hageman-Jersey/ .Y. -- Injured Buffalo Sabres forward Marcus Foligno did not practice with the team Monday and head coach Ron Rolston said its unlikely hell play in Wednesdays season opener in Detroit. http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/Falcons-Brooks-Reed-Jersey/ .

CINCINNATI -- Still smarting from a loss at Butler on Saturday, the 25th-ranked Cincinnati Bearcats will try to get back on track when they begin a streak of three straight home games Tuesday night against Texas Southern. Adidas Brian Gibbons Jersey .The Bearcats lost 75-65 to the 18th-ranked Bulldogs at Hinkle Fieldhouse despite a season-high 22 points from senior guard Troy Caupain.Caupain showed signs of finding his shooting stroke in the past two games but is only 9 of 39 from 3-point range through nine games. Against Butler, Caupain was 2 of 7 from behind the arc, but he hit 9 of 15 field-goal attempts overall.Its all about confidence, Caupain told the Bearcats website. I knew they were gonna fall. Its just about when I was gonna decide that it was time to do it. (I) started it (in practice). I hope it keeps going.Cincinnati (7-2) expects Kyle Washington to rebound from a dismal outing at Butler. He played just 19 minutes before fouling out with seven points and zero rebounds in the loss, which snapped a five-game winning streak for the Bearcats.I thought the game was extremely physical, and thats not Kyle Washingtons style of play, coach Mick Cronin said. I was extremely concerned with the way the game was being played.Washington and Jacob Evans each scored in double figures in eight of nine games this season. Washington ranks 14th nationally with five double-doubles.The Bearcats continue to ride the production of Gary Clark, who is averaging 11 points and 9.3 rebounds while shooting 55.6 percent over his past three games.Clark enters Tuesdays game needing just two rebounds to become the fourth player in the Cronin era to compile at least 600 boards.Texas Southern (4-5) is no stranger to being on the road. The Tigers play their first 16 games of the season away from home, and they have only nine home games scheduled all season.In 15 years, they will be able to say they got to go places, see places, play in some historical arenas, coach Mike Davis said. At some of these big schools, you can get around $350,000 to put back into the school.It comes at a price, of course.Texas Southern is coming off a 102-71 loss at No. 11 Louisville. Earlier this season, the Tigers lost at No. 19 Arizona. Following Tuesday nights game against the Bearcats, the Tigers travel to LSU, then to TCU, then to Baylor, which currently is ranked fourth in the AP poll.The Tigers are averaging 72 points per game with four players scoring in double figures.On Saturday at Louisville, freshman guard Demontrae Jefferson made his debut and scored 27 points on 10-of-30 shooting. Derrick Griffin had 15 points and 26 rebounds, the most rebounds for any player in a single Division I game this season.However, it will take contributions from more than a couple players for Texas Southern to become the first Southwestern Athletic Conference opponent to defeat Cincinnati. The Bearcats are 14-0 all-time against SWAC foes.The Bearcats, who are 3-0 all-time against the Tigers, have won 13 consecutive games at Fifth Third Arena dating to a 77-70 loss to Temple on Dec. 29, 2015. Adidas Ryan Miller Jersey . No. 13-seeded John Isner and No. 21 Philipp Kohlschreiber were among six players who dropped out of the tournament on Tuesday, joining No. 12 seed Tommy Haas and two other players who withdrew on Monday.

TURKISH STADIUM BOMBINGISTANBUL -- Turkey declared a national day of mourning and paid tribute to the dead Sunday after two bombings in Istanbul killed 38 people and wounded 155 others near a soccer stadium. The carnage was claimed by a Turkey-based Kurdish militant group.The Kurdistan Freedom Falcons, or TAK, said two of its members had sacrificed their lives in the Saturday night attack that targeted security forces outside the Besiktas stadium shortly after the conclusion of a match.It described the blasts as reprisal for state violence in the southeast and the ongoing imprisonment of Abdullah Ocalan, the leader of the Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK. TAK is considered by authorities as a PKK offshoot.The twin car-and-suicide bombings near the stadium enraged top officials, including President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who vowed to hunt down the perpetrators. The attack was the latest large-scale assault to traumatize a nation confronting an array of security threats.The attack targeted police officers, killing 30 of them along with seven civilians and an unidentified person, Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu told reporters. He said 13 people had been arrested in connection with the terrorist act.WILL SMITH TRIALNEW ORLEANS -- The man who fatally shot retired New Orleans Saints defensive leader Will Smith was convicted of manslaughter, ending a week-long trial in which the defendant insisted he only fired because the popular football star was drunk, violent and had grabbed a gun following a traffic crash on the night of April 9.Smith was part of the Saints team that lifted the stricken citys spirits in the years after Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005, helping carry the team to a winning season in 2006 and a Super Bowl win four years later. His death at the hands of Cardell Hayes, 29, was stunning, even for a city where residents are accustomed to reports of multiple gunfire deaths every week.Hayes faces a possible sentence of up to 40 years in prison at his sentencing on Feb. 17. Jurors opted for the lesser charge rather than second-degree murder, which would have carried a mandatory life sentence.Hayes also was convicted of attempted manslaughter for wounding Smiths wife, Racquel Smith.OLYMPICSMOSCOW -- Russia will accept an International Olympic Committee plan to retest all drug test samples given by its athletes at the 2012 and 2014 Olympics, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Mutko said.The IOCs declaration Friday followed the publication of a report by World Anti-Doping Agency investigator Richard McLaren. This alleged that more than 1,000 Russian athletes, including medal winners at the London and Sochi games, had benefited from a state-backed campaign of doping and drug test cover-ups.Mutko, whose brief as deputy prime minister covers sports policy, also suggested that he does not expect Russia to be barred from the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. He said the IOC set a precedent when it decided against a blanket ban for Russia from this summers Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.PRO FOOTBALLNEW YORK -- The NFL says no formal complaint was filed last week by the New York Giants, who reportedly alerted the league that the Pittsburgh Steelers were using deflated footballs during their game.Fox reported that aafter the Giants forced two turnovers during their 24-14 loss last Sunday, they tested the footballs on their sideline.

The disease, also called Lou Gehrigs Disease, weakens muscles, impairs physical functioning and has no cure yet.The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge raised more than $220 million when it took off worldwide on social media in 2014.COLLEGE FOOTBALLNEW YORK -- Lamar Jackson leapt over a loaded field of Heisman Trophy contenders early in the season and by the time he slowed down nobody could catch him.The sensational sophomore quarterback became the first Louisville player to win the Heisman Trophy, beating out preseason favorite Deshaun Watson of Clemson despite some late-season struggles.Baker Mayfield finished third and Oklahoma teammate and fellow finalist Dede Westbrook was fourth. Michigans Jabrill Peppers was fifth.Jackson, wearing a red velvet blazer with shiny black lapels, said he could feel his heart pounding in his chest right before his name was announced, and he barely held it together while giving his speech with the former Heisman winners standing behind him on stage.BALTIMORE -- Donald Trump was greeted with cheers on his arrival at the annual Army-Navy game, basking in one of the nations most storied football rivalries as he prepares to enter the White House.The future commander in chief, protected by panes of bulletproof glass, waved to the crowd Saturday and pumped his fist as he arrived during the first quarter of the 117th game between the military academies at West Point and Annapolis. The game, on a sunny but chilly day, was being held on relatively neutral ground, at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.Trump, in an interview with CBS Sports announcers Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson, said he was totally neutral on the outcome of the game and quipped that he might make Lundquist, who was retiring from the play-by-play booth, his ambassador to Sweden.

If you are a parent with kids aged 8-18, you are probably all-too-well aware of the latest meme/trend/fad, bottle flipping. JT Riddle Jersey .Whether you are doing pick up at soccer practice, sitting on the sidelines at games or possibly just minding your own business in the house, if there is a plastic bottle nearby with, say, a quarter of its liquid still left in it, undoubtedly your kid or their friends have picked it up, held it by its top and flicked it out, attempting to flip it so that it delivers a Simone Biles-level stick-the-landing on the floor or tabletop.The issue isnt the flip itself -- the issue is the kids compulsive attempts to successfully pull off the trick. New York Times reporter Christopher Mele succinctly and accurately described the sound: Gurgle. Thud. Crunch. Paying attention to the coach at practice? Focusing on homework? Heck, even the kid-nirvana of Netflix has seemingly seen mindshare erode to the likes of Deer Park, Gatorade or Aquafina.Credit/blame high school trend-setter Michael Senatore, whose Charlotte-area talent-show bottle-flip video from a few months ago went viral and launched this frenzy:You can lose hours (and possibly your mind) on YouTube looking up bottle-flip videos, but we might have reached Peak Bottle Flip this past Saturday night at Duke basketballs annual Countdown to Craziness, where Chase Jeter stole the show:Earlier this week, my kids relayed a fascinating development: Kids at their elementary school were buying bottles of water using their lunch-money account (financed by their parents!), spilling out three-quarters of the water, then selling bottle flip-ready toys to their fellow students for 50 cents each.While I admire their entrepreneurial zeal, I cant disagree with the schools principal, who shut down the flip economy before some mesmerized first-grader started pilfering from their familys spare-change jar.Lets be clear: The practice is, in fact, incredibly annoying. The sound. The block-out-what-else-they-should-be-paying-attention-to focus. The repetition -- if you as a parent can ignore it for more than a half-dozen tries before snapping, I salute your restraint.Are there any redeeming qualities? Well, its not screen time, so theres that. Hopefully the kids have actually consumed the water down to its requisite optimal flip level, so there is a modest health attribute to it. It is inherently social, even if it quickly devolves into battling over whose turn it is to flip. And, grade-school gray-market aside, as an activity, it is far more accessible to far more kids than, say, a travel sports team. Anyone can flip -- you dont need to be a Duke basketball player to successfully compete.To that last point, Im all for taking everyday objects or environments and turning them into play, whether its flipping a water bottle or leaping over cracks in the sidewalk or taking a piece of paper and launching into a game of paper football.So is there anything to it? Ill admit I tried it for myself:OK, this isnt not fun...Dan Shanoff writes about parenting for espnW.

Among the skaters she worked with while there is New York Islanders center John Tavares.Its something that Ive wanted to see happen, she said in a statement released by the Coyotes. The fact that they respect what I do enough to name me as a full-time coach, or to name me as the first female coach in the NHL, I take a ton of pride in that. Martin Prado Jersey. Ive worked very hard for this opportunity. Its been going on for years and I just look forward to going even further with it.The hiring is the latest in a series of breakthroughs for women in mens sports.Last year, the Buffalo Bills made Kathryn Smith the NFLs first full-time assistant coach. Smith is the teams quality control coach.The NBA has had two female assistant coaches -- Becky Hammon of the San Antonio Spurs and Nancy Lieberman of the Sacramento Kings.A year ago, the Arizona Cardinals made Jen Welter the first woman to hold a coaching position of any kind in the NFL when she served as an intern in the preseason.

Colorado Rockies Jerseys .Betts said hes been dealing with the issue the last couple of days and that he felt it Friday after throwing Minnesota Twins second baseman Brian Dozier out at second in the top of the fourth inning.Betts was removed from Fridays game for precautionary reasons before the top of the fifth and was replaced by Michael Martinez.[I feel] pretty good today, Betts said. Have to go for the treatment, make sure everything is clear before I get back out there.Betts said the treatment has mainly consisted of icing his knee in order to get the swelling down.Red Sox manager John Farrell said that Betts might need a couple of days to return, but everything points to this being a short-term situation.Entering Saturday, Betts had appeared in all 94 of Bostons games this season, batting .307 with 20 home runs, 63 RBIs and a league-leading 221 total bases. He hit leadoff homers against the Twins on Thursday and Friday, becoming the fourth player in the modern era (since 1900) to hit leadoff homers in back-to-back games multiple times in a single season (also on May 31 and June 1).With Betts missing time, Farrell said that hell have to pay close attention as to when to give his players days off so that he isnt without several of his top hitters at once.Designated hitter David Ortiz is expected to get Sunday off, with Hanley Ramirez taking his place.You always want to be in there and play, Betts said.

I knew it was a realistic expectation for me to get into the finals and once you get into the finals, anything can happen. For me, this year has been incredible.Thrasher had a quick rise to the top.A figure skater growing up, she switched sports five years ago after a hunting trip with her family.

But I quickly pushed that thought away and focused on breathing, just taking one shot at a time.Thrasher pulled it off against two of the worlds best rifle shooters, Li and Yi Siling.Li won gold medals in air rifle in 2004 at the Athens Games and in 3-position rifle in Beijing four years later. She also competed in the 2012 London Games and pulled off a clutch shot in the Rio final, hitting 10.9 to stay alive in the second round.Yi took a similar path as Thrashers, earning air rifle gold at the 2012 London Games just three years after starting her international shooting career.Thrasher stood her ground against the two Chinese shooters in the medal eliminations, hitting nothing lower than 10.4. Yi went out after a 9.8 on her final shot to earn bronze and Thrasher finished with a cumulative score of 208.0 to beat Li by a point in front of a rowdy crowd.I heard the cheers and the horns and it was very disturbing, Yi said. But I just had to control myself. I also looked up and saw that Virginia and Du Li were doing well themselves.Thrasher ended up on top of the podium and her whirlwind will wind down soon; a biomedical engineering major, she starts classes again at West Virginia on Aug. 17.Im actually looking forward to getting back to school again, Thrasher said.She will have a new title when she returns: Olympic champion.

Yi went out after a 9.8 on her final shot to earn bronze and Thrasher finished with a cumulative score of 208.0 to beat Li by a point in front of a rowdy crowd.I heard the cheers and the horns and it was very disturbing, Yi said. But I just had to control myself. I also looked up and saw that Virginia and Du Li were doing well themselves.Thrasher ended up on top of the podium and her whirlwind will wind down soon; a biomedical engineering major, she starts classes again at West Virginia on Aug. 17.Im actually looking forward to getting back to school again, Thrasher said.She will have a new title when she returns: Olympic champion.

We just cant get anything going offensively and other than that we were in every game.Eickhoffs effective work kept his side in this game.You know its going to be a battle with Scherzer, Eickhoff said.

Among other things, Justino questioned Rousey as a role model.When we worry about marketing an image created by the media, our bigger goals are sacrificed, she wrote on Facebook. You cant look up because your face is in a pillow after being the bully and getting your ass kicked. Being humble enough to not believe the hype around you can be difficult.When I see little girls rocking their DNB shirts, she continued, referring to Rouseys trademark, which stands for Do Nothing B----, and Reebok shoes in the supermarket, I think about what poor examples of sportsmanship you have displayed. I think about you cursing [Holly Holm] at the weigh-ins, refusing to shake Miesha Tates hand following your victory, and all of the mean things you have said about me and my family.A fight between Justino (16-1) and Rousey (12-1) tantalized fight fans for years. The two went back and forth in headlines, where Rousey was especially critical of a positive drug test Justino submitted in 2011.The matchup never came to fruition, though, mostly because Justino couldnt make Rouseys 135-pound weight limit.

The UFC still does not promote Justinos 145-pound weight class.According to White, Rousey will receive an immediate title shot at 135 pounds when she does return. The belt is now held by Amanda Nunes, who submitted Tate at UFC 200. Justino, who does not have a fight scheduled, said she would like to see Rousey fight her instead, at UFC 205 in Madison Square Garden.Im not trying to inspire you to suddenly become a better person, or become anything youre not, Justino wrote. But there was a time in your life when you told people you wanted to fight me. Maybe you didnt quite understand the way the world worked then, but you also didnt care what anyone thought.I guess what Im trying to tell you is that you dont need to be the champ to fight me.The media made you out to be the greatest female fighter of all time, and that is beautiful, because now everyone knows the real reason why you avoided a fight against Cris Cyborg.
