Police in the Dallas suburb of Frisco said the former Baylor basketball player was arrested Friday night for possession of less than 2 ounces of marijuana. Gathers was released on bond Saturday morning.
Gathers hadn't played football since middle school when the Cowboys drafted him in 2016. He showed promise in the preseason last year before a concussion sustained near the end of training camp sidelined him for the season.
The 24-year-old Gathers made the 53-player roster when the Cowboys made the unusual move of keeping four tight ends.
Attorneys for Gathers say their client "apologizes to his teammates and the Cowboys organization for any distraction his arrest may cause as the team prepares to start the season."
Saints running back Alvin Kamara has a colorful way of looking at the end of last season.
And that color is primarily blue.
In an entertaining profile of the second-year back by Master Tesfatsion of Bleacher Report, Kamara riffed on the crushing end of the Saints season, in which the 17-point deficit they erased in the second half of the NFC divisional round playoff game was erased by the Minnesota Miracle.
“It’s a certain point where you f–king just do everything could do, and s–t still don’t go your way http://www.buffalobillsteamonline.com/kelvin-benjamin-jersey ,” Kamara said. “That’s how I felt about that game. I felt like we did everything. We came all the way back, and then s–t just happened like that. That’s like some one-in-a-million-type s–t.
“I couldn’t even be mad. I was mad, of course, but it was like how does that even f–king happen? That’s not even real. It’s almost not realistic Authentic Jameis Winston Jersey , like what the f–k?”
Somewhere, Lee Elia nods approvingly.
His greater point holds, as the Saints were on an incredible roll before Stefon Diggs‘ last-second game-winning touchdown sent the Vikings to the NFC Championship Game. And Kamara believes that momentum would have continued against the Eagles, and he clearly thinks it will continue into this season now that they’ve put it behind them.
“We’d beat the s–t out of [the Eagles] cause we was rolling Wholesale Samaje Perine Jersey ,” Kamara said. “If we won [against the Vikings], I knew nobody was gonna stop us cause we came all the way back. . . .
“We know what the standard is. So, yeah, f-k Minnesota.”
We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. I mean Terrance Williams Jersey , not without being George Carlin.
Womens Dallas Cowboys JerseysOdor drove in three runs Josh Bailey Jersey , Ryan Rua hit a two-run homer and the Texas Rangers withstood the heat on a 108-degree afternoon to beat the Cleveland Indians 5-0 on Sunday, stopping a four-game losing streak.
The game time temperature was 102 degrees – 5 shy of the stadium record set Friday and matched Saturday – then rose in the afternoon sunshine.
”Where I’m from it’s really hot like this,” said Odor, a native of Venezuela. ”So, this is no problem for me playing with this weather. I like playing in this weather.”
Yovani Gallardo (4-1) and three relievers combined on a five-hitter against the AL Central leader, which had outscored Texas 25-11 in the first two games of the series.
”I just worked quickly, kept a tight strike zone and get guys to swing the bat,” Gallardo said.
That was key for the Rangers.
”I think the biggest part of it was Gallardo, all our pitchers, keeping our guys off the field for extended periods of time,” Texas manager Jeff Banister said.
Gallardo allowed three hits and four walks in six innings, his longest scoreless outing since Aug. 22, 2015 Ryan Grant Jersey , at Detroit. Jose Leclerc and Jake Diekman each pitched a one-hit inning, and Cory Gearrin got three straight outs on seven pitches.
Mike Clevinger (7-6) lost his third straight start, allowing two runs, four hits and four walks in 6 2/3 innings.
”I walked the nine-hole hitter twice and that’s just really, really bad baseball,” Clevinger said. ”It’s just not acceptable no matter what the score of the game is.”
”In the final meeting between the teams this year, Odor hit an RBI single in the third and a sacrifice fly in the fifth, then added a home run in the eighth against Oliver Perez.
Delino DeShields, hitting .073 (3 for 41) in July coming in, walked twice, stole two bases and scored the first two runs.
”We need for him to be on base,” Banister said. ”We gave him a day after a rough day to get some work in. It was his speed that created for us early.”

Joey Gallo has three assists in his first two games in right field. He got one during a rundown play Saturday, threw out Jason Kipnis trying to go from first to third on a second-inning single Sunday and then threw to first base to double up Melky Cabrera Ryan O'Reilly Jersey , who was running on a fly ball to right in the fourth. Gallo has two assists in 98 big league games in left and center field.
TRAINER’S ROOM

There's no doubt halfback Saquon Barkley is the most-hyped rookie to join the New York Giants since future Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor donned the blue in 1981.
Within weeks of being taken second overall in the draft, the likable 21-year-old from Penn State had the hottest-selling jersey in the NFL. Seemingly half the kids wearing jerseys at training camp had his No. 26 look.
When he touched the ball in camp, there were 'oohs and aahs' from the fans, and visions of him going to the house in the regular season to help revive a franchise that went 3-13 last season, the second-worst record in the league.
Dream time is over. With the season opener at home against 2017 AFC runner-up Jacksonville on Sunday Patrick Maroon Jersey , it's time for Barkley to live up to the hype, just as Taylor did after also being taken with the No. 2 overall pick.
"I just want to play," Barkley said after a short practice Monday. "It's finally here. The season is finally here. I didn't get to play as much as I would like in the preseason, but now it's here and it counts now, so I am just excited to get on the road. You can tell, the energy of the team is high and we're all just excited for this game and this season."
Barkley had four carries in the preseason for 43 yards. The number was originally reported as five after the first preseason game against Cleveland, but an official review silently changed it.
It stayed at four after Barkley slightly strained a hamstring on Aug. 13 and didn't play in the final three preseason games. It was a precautionary move.
"The one week I didn't get that much practice, but after that I was back on my normal schedule," he said. "I feel pretty confident and I feel pretty good. I just have to continue to attack practice and get better.
For the next week, Barkley plans to immerse himself in watching videotapes of the Jaguars' defense, a group that last season was the best in franchise history and is loaded with Pro Bowl players.
Barkley has set some personal goals, but he hopes to focus on his next play.
"I'm not a numbers type of guy who says I need this many yards, this many touchdowns Jacoby Brissett Jersey ," Barkley said. "My goal is to attack every single day and get better every single day. The rest of the stuff will take care of itself."
Barkley isn't sure how many tickets he will need for his NFL debut. His parents and his family are coming to MetLife Stadium and, of course, there might be some surprise visitors he needs to accommodate.
New coach Pat Shurmur caught Barkley off-guard when he talked about the return game Monday. The Giants waived returners Kalif Raymond and Hunter Sharp over the weekend and were awarded Kaelin Clay on waivers. Clay has handled return work in games and would seem to be the best option Sunday.
If they are ready, Shurmur said that Odell Beckham Jr. and Barkley would be options. He did not mention Cody Latimer, who also has experience as a returner.
"I'll be eager to definitely be in the mix of kickoff return. I did it in college," said Barkley, who returned two kickoffs for touchdowns last season. "I was able to help my team out in college in that area. If they, or if I show that I'm capable of doing that for the Giants, why not? It's definitely something I feel comfortable with."
Don't count on it this early in the season.
NOTES: LB Olivier Vernon (ankle) did not practice Monday. Shurmur hopes to have him back Wednesday. ... TE Evan Engram was on the field but remains in the concussion protocol. ... With Davis Webb being cut, Shurmur would not say who is No. 2 behind QB Eli Manning. He hinted it might be Alex Tanney instead of rookie Kyle Lauletta because he likes have a veteran behind the starter.
Tennessee Titans Elite JerseysOther teams have tried it Andre Burakovsky Jersey , so the Falcons have decided to charge for a thing that used to be free.
The team announced that their Sunday, July 29 practice would be held at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and that tickets for the camp practice would be $5.
They said in their release the proceeds would go to the “Atlanta Super Bowl host committee’s capital improvement project,” whatever that is. The Falcons’ release touts the availability to sample “its award-winning food and beverage experience,” (i.e. buy some consumable stuff) as well as other entertainment beyond a football practice.
Last year, the Panthers started charging for their Fan Fest practice (also $5 per ticket, and they said they were donating the proceeds to the team’s charitable foundation). The Buccaneers are limiting access to their camp, trying to use it as bait to get fans to buy season-ticket packages.
In the past http://www.officialsabres.com/authentic-adidas-jack-eichel-jersey , teams who charged for such practices opened the door for opposing scouts to sit in the crowd and take notes, but the league changed that policy in 2014. So now it’s not an issue of competitive advantage, it’s just about the money, and how teams can pry more of it from their fans.
12, 22 BUFFALO BILLS (9-8)
LAST SEASON: Front-office and major roster overhauls didn't deter Bills from exceeding extremely low expectations in making playoffs and ending 17-year postseason drought, longest in North America's four major professional sports. First-year coach Sean McDermott successfully cultivated winning culture by leaning on veteran leaders to establish close-knit bond among players. First-year GM Brandon Beane made deft trades in adding draft picks and beginning to clear team's books of high-priced salaries, including DT Marcell Dareus. RB LeSean McCoy was workhorse on offense that lacked consistency at QB (Tyrod Taylor) and established depth at WR. Revamped group of DBs, led by free-agent-additions safeties Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer Nick Kwiatkoski Jersey , jelled immediately in helping patch defensive deficiencies.
THEY NEED: QB, LB, WR, C, LG.
THEY DON'T NEED: CB, S.
POSSIBLE 12TH PICK: QB Josh Rosen, UCLA; QB Josh Allen, Wyoming; QB Sam Darnold Russell Bodine Jersey , USC; QB Mason Rudolph, Oklahoma; WR Calvin Ridley, Alabama; LB Roquan Smith, Georgia; LB Tremaine Edmunds, Virginia Tech.
POSSIBLE 22ND PICK: QB Lamar Jackson, Louisville; OL Will Hernandez, UTEP; WR D.J. Moore, Maryland; DT Maurice Hurst Yanni Gourde Jersey , Michigan; C Billy Price, Ohio State.
OUTLOOK: Bills might take step back before begin advancing after yet another offseason overhaul in bid to build through youth and shed high-priced contracts. Difficult to see how playoff stars will align perfectly for second consecutive year with questions at quarterback, offensive line and with McCoy set to turn 30 in July. With 12 career appearances, including one playoff start, free-agent addition A.J. McCarron most experienced QB on roster after Taylor traded to Cleveland. Offensive line and leadership roles took hits with C Eric Wood diagnosed with career-ending neck injury and LG Richie Incognito's abrupt retirement. Receiver group lacks established threat beyond Kelvin Benjamin, who's coming off knee surgery. Bills plugged holes on defense by adding DT Star Lotulelei and LB Trent Murphy, but have yet to address free-agent loss of starting MLB Preston Brown.
