Players in the National Womens Hockey League will play at least one more game but want more information before agreeing to a 50 percent salary cut the commissioner says is necessary to save the season. Nike Roshe Two .Brant Feldman, an agent who represents numerous top NWHL players, said on Twitter Saturday that the Boston Pride will play at Buffalo on Sunday. Feldman called the decision to play a sign of good of faith and challenged the league to do the same in responding to player demands.Feldman said the players have been placed in a difficult position because the NWHL may cease operations if the games arent played. The other game Sunday features the Connecticut Whale at the New York Riveters.The four-team league is in its second season, and its future has been thrust into question a day after NWHL Commissioner Dani Rylan announced the salary cuts. Rylan is the founder of the NWHL, whose business model is essentially a startup venture supported by investors and corporate sponsors.Last year, the NWHL became North Americas first womens hockey league to pay player salaries, which range from $10,000 to $26,000. The salary cuts represent as much as $540,000 in savings.On Saturday, several players said on Twitter they were willing to work with the league but sought more information and transparency. The players asked for proof of insurance, a third-party audit, the names of league investors and an explanation for the revenue shortfall.Without specifically mentioning players concerns, Rylan said in a statement she hoped to continue a positive, constructive dialogue with the players over the next two weeks.The players have many concerns and disappointments, and I understand that completely, Rylan said. I deeply appreciate that, despite the emotions of the last two days, they have continued with their preparation for tomorrows games.On Friday, Rylan blamed the cash crunch on the league falling short of projections, including declining attendance a month into the season.Players will be required to sign an addendum to their contracts for the cuts to take effect. Its unclear if the players will do that before their games Sunday, and whether the NWHL will allow the games to be played if the restructured contracts arent signed.Riveters defenseman Ashley Johnston said players were surprised by the salary-cut announcement, and called the decision gut-wrenching.Feldman wrote that the players have been put in an impossible position because they do not know the leagues true financial health. He added that the players want the league to succeed, but there must be a true partnership.---AP Sports Writer Jimmy Golen contributed to this report. Nike Roshe One Flight Weight .

BOSTON -- Nothing like a pre-dawn phone call from Red Sox slugger David Ortiz to get you out of bed in the morning. Will Fuller Jersey .At least thats the idea behind a Boston Public Schools initiative that starts next month, when middle- and high-school students will be able to sign up for wake-up calls from Big Papi.Wake up!

Your future is yours, he says on the calls.The 40-year-old All-Star designated hitter has said hell retire after this season. He leads the majors in slugging percentage, on-base average and extra-base hits this year.Boston schools superintendent Tommy Chang said Monday the goal of the Ortiz calls is to help kids get to school on time and fight absenteeism.Boston Mayor Marty Walsh called it a fun, outside-the-box approach to a chronic problem. Nationwide, the U.S. Department of Education says more than 6 million students -- 13 percent of all school-age Americans -- missed at least three weeks of school in the 2013-14 academic year, the most recent for which figures are available.Red Sox president Sam Kennedy said he hopes the calls, which are being offered free of charge, will help inspire, motivate and encourage children to attend school. The calls will be available in English and several foreign languages, though Ortiz wont be speaking all of them.Bostons school system ran a pilot of the wakeup calls last year, trying them out on two dozen students at the Edward M. Kennedy Academy for Health Careers, a charter high school in the shadow of Fenway Park.Xaquiel Martinez, a 9th-grade student there, acknowledges he was tardy to school nearly every day before getting the wake-up calls, which helped him get out the door on time.With Ortiz wrapping up his final season with the Sox, Changs office says it may tap the New England Patriots for a future call.No word on whether Tom Brady or Rob Gronkowski could be rousing students next.---Follow Bill Kole on Twitter at https://twitter.com/billkole .

Now that hes hitting streaking teammates with pin-point passes for easy layups, Love is asserting himself as one of the true superstars in the league. Penn State coach James Franklin said Tuesday hes proud of kicker Joey Julius for how hes dealt with an eating disorder that kept him out of spring practice and led him to being admitted to a clinic for treatment this past summer.Julius said in a Facebook post this week that he was in therapy at McCallum Place Eating Disorder Center in St. Louis from May 9 to July 26.Were here to support Joey in every way possible, Franklin said Tuesday. Im really proud of him. Besides that, I want to make sure that were supporting Joey in every way possible -- academically, athletically, socially, emotionally, the whole package. Thats really about it. Im not going to get into it any more than that.The 5-foot-10, 258-pound sophomore from Hummelstown, Pennsylvania, has handled kickoffs for the Nittany Lions this season. Nicknamed Big Toe, hes popular with fans for the fearlessness he displays in kick coverage.Julius said he decided to disclose his eating disorder publicly after discussing it with family, friends and the team.Due to my increase in not only weight but also depression and anxiety my team physicians started to notice not only a change in my overall happiness but also my performance as a normal human being, Julius wrote.

They all noticed that I was not myself and that I needed extensive care such as the program in St. Louis that I attended this summer.Julius encouraged anyone struggling with an eating disorder to reach out to him and that he would help.Julius is best known for his aggressive play on kick returns -- something counterintuitive for most kickers.In the season opener against Kent State, Julius knocked Kent State return man Raekwon James backward with a hard hit. Three weeks later he took down Michigans Jourdan Lewis. Both plays went viral.Last week, Minnesota linebacker Jaylen Waters was ejected for lowering his shoulder into Julius on what ended up being a touchback.

This story is part of ESPN The Magazines Oct. Barry Sanders Jersey . 12 Owners Issue. Subscribe today!Minnesota TwinsOverall: 87 Title track: 68 Ownership: 91 Coaching: 90 Players: 110 Fan relations: 91 Affordability: 52 Stadium experience: 28 Bang for the buck: 108 Change from last year: -40So ... yeah. The Twins had a surprisingly exciting 2015 season in which the team won 83 games and remained relevant well into September. Optimism abounded. Target Field never looked greener. Young talent! New coach! Prospects! What would follow a mere seven months later was a new low even for a team that, over the past five seasons, had win totals of 63, 66, 66 and 70. A 1-9 start this season would lead to a 7-18 April, and the Twins were 10.5 games back -- and entirely irrelevant -- in the AL Central by May 1, well on their way to what would ultimately become the worst season in the history of the franchise. Fifty. Nine. Wins.Whats goodThe Twins fell precipitously in each of our eight categories this year, but there are still few places more enjoyable to catch a game than at Target Field, which opened in 2010. The teams No. 28 rank in stadium experience is by far its highest rating, and the 10th-highest in baseball. And though the Twins roster is rated a dismal 110th (and no, guys, Joe Mauer is not to blame for this mess -- hes, like, the 11th-biggest problem), Minnesota undeniably has terrific young talent in Miguel Sano, who amassed a .462 slugging percentage this past season, and 22-year-old Byron Buxton, who after his Sept. 1 call-up justified his longstanding reputation as the best prospect in baseball, batting .287, with a .357 on-base and .653 slugging percentage in the seasons final 29 games. And, of course, second baseman Brian Dozier became Babe Ruth for the seasons final 60 games (1.019 OPS!). That was fun.Whats badSo, so much. Before the season, most experts predicted the Twins would sport an average offense and staggeringly poor pitching. And, boy, were they right! It was wretched. The Twins allowed an MLB-worst 5.49 runs per game, an AL-worst WHIP of 1.45, and struck out the third-fewest players per nine innings of any team in baseball. Minnesota fell 40 spots overall in our rankings, driven by a 74-spot drop in players, a 56-spot drop in coaching, and a 28-spot drop in ownership. The twist? Compared with 2015, the players are largely the same; the coach, Paul Molitor, is light years ahead of his predecessor in terms of on-the-field strategy and an openness to analytics; and the Pohlads are ... the Pohlads. The problems are the same. The team just won 24 fewer games.Whats newIn a very un-Twins-like move, the team fired longtime GM Terry Ryan in July after two stints (1994-2007 and 2011-2016) running the organization. After an exhaustive search with the help of third-party firm Korn Ferry, which helped the Timberwolves land Tom Thibodeau, the franchise hired 33-year-old Derek Falvey away from the Cleveland Indians to serve as the general manager and president of baseball operations. With a new voice, one that has experience with a winning organization and one who has worked to bridge the gap between folks who lean toward analytics in player evaluation and those who might favor scouting, the Twins are once again asking their fan base to believe. And however unwarranted that request might seem, with the young talent already on this roster and with Falvey now in the fold, its perhaps more palatable to do so now than at any time since 2011.Next: Philadelphia Phillies?| Full rankings Cornelius Lucas Jersey .

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Trailing by one point, the Memphis Grizzlies had no timeouts and little time. For the oldest player in the NBA, the obstacles were simply a welcome challenge.Thirty-nine-year-old Vince Carter tossed a perfectly timed, and expertly lobbed, inbounds pass to 7-footer Marc Gasol and he dropped in a shot as the buzzer sounded to lift the Grizzlies to a 108-107 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night.Gasols basket came over Emmanuel Mudiay on a high-arcing pass from Carter underneath the Memphis goal. When Carter inbounded the ball there were 0.7 seconds left.I had progressions, I had a couple of options, but I just had to be patient while still keeping the 5-second violation in mind, Carter said. Its a stressful situation, but Ive been in it before. I know how to relax and take my time.Carter scored 20 points, while Gasol had 19 for the Grizzlies, who had lost two straight. Zach Randolph added 16 points.Mudiay had 23 points and Danilo Gallinari added 21 for the Nuggets.Mudiay appeared to have led the Nuggets to a victory when he stripped the ball from Mike Conley and converted a fastbreak layup with 7.9 seconds left. Memphis James Ennis followed with an errant pass out of bounds.But Conley came up with a steal in the closing seconds and drove the length of the court before the ball was knocked out of bounds by Denver with 0.7 seconds to go.That set the stage for the Carter-to-Gasol game-winner.The play was executed to perfection, Carter said. I just wanted to put it up there where only Marc could get it and let him take care of the rest.Gasol said the key to the play was the experience of CarterThe guy guarding the inbounds pass jumped too early, Gasol said. That opened up the passing angle and Vince made a great pass.Mudiay said he didnt know what the breakdown defensively was on the game-winning shot by Gasol.It just happens sometimes, Mudiay said. Some games end like that, some games dont end like that.The Grizzlies went up 83-76 early in the fourth quarter on a twisting layup by Jarell Martin and led by 95-88 following a driving layup by Andrew Harrison midway through the quarter.But the Nuggets battled back to take their first lead of the final period, 99-98, on a 3-pointer by Nikola Jokic, with 4:27 left.The lead changed hands six times in closing 5 minutes.We make it interesting, dont we? Grizzlies coach David Fizdale said. Theo Riddick Jersey. Im just really proud of my guys handling adversity. Everything that could go wrong went wrong, but they just kept staying with it. They stayed in the moment.The game was 56-all at the half. Denver shot 54 percent and outrebounded Memphis 23-17 to overcome 10 turnovers. Those Nuggets mistakes led to 16 Grizzlies points.Memphis fell behind by seven points in the opening minutes, but recovered behind a 12-0 run in which free-agent pickup Chandler Parsons, playing in only his second game, scored his first points of the season. Parsons went 0 for 8 in Sundays game against Portland, but had consecutive layups in a 26-second span of the first quarter.The Grizzlies built a 42-35 lead midway through the second quarter before the Nuggets closed to tie the game.TIP-INSNuggets: G Will Barton, who played at the University of Memphis, did not play because of an ankle injury. ... Wilson Chandler participated in parts of Tuesdays shootaround, but did not play. He is recovering from a left hamstring injury.Grizzlies: G Tony Allen was placed on the inactive list before the game with a right groin injury. ... Gasol entered the game having made a 3-pointer in each of the teams seven games, but he missed his only attempt. He had nine 3-pointers in those seven games after having made 12 in his first eight seasons. ... The Grizzlies started their sixth different lineup in eight games.TURNAROUNDThe Grizzlies entered the game ranked last in the NBA in field goal percentage, but shot 51.2 percent. The Grizzlies scored 58 points in the paint.OLDIE BUT GOODIECarter became the oldest player in the NBA to post a 20-point game since Michael Jordan scored 25 for the Washington Wizards in April 2003, at age 40.UP NEXTNuggets: Denver returns home after a five-game trip to play the Warriors, whose two-time MVP Stephen Curry set a league record with 13 3-pointers en route to a 46-point effort against the Pelicans Monday night.Grizzlies: Memphis plays Saturday at Milwaukee, following what amounts to an early season All-Star break -- three straight days off.

MINNEAPOLIS -- On a night when the Minnesota Vikings were once again frustrated with officials, the teams final offensive play proved to be a flash point. Mitchell Schwartz Jersey.Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Cedric Thornton hit Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford in the helmet as Bradford threw incomplete on a two-point conversion that could have tied the game, but officials did not call a penalty. After the Vikings 17-15 loss, when Bradford was asked what explanation officials had given him for the non-call, the quarterback said, He told me that I did not get hit in the face mask.Bradford punctuated his response with a quizzical shrug, but defensive end Brian Robison was more animated.At the end of the day, thats a game-changing play and youve got to make those calls, Robison said. At the end of the game, Bradford gets hit in the face. Thats an opportunity for us to score and tie the ballgame, but it doesnt get called.Referee Tony Correntes crew penalized the Cowboys 10 times, but Robison didnt back downI dont care, he said. You can look at play in and play out. The problem is the costly penalties that dont get called. When you look at the play that Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott scrambled [for 14 yards on a 3rd-and-11], there should have been penalties called on that play and they dont.It gets to a point where its too frustrating. I dont know. Im probably going to get fined for this, I understand that, but somebody has got to step up and say something.The defensive end, who forced a Prescott fumble late in the third quarter, said he tried to talk to officials, but it was to no avail.You always get the excuse, he said. I understand its a hard game to ref. I understand all that. I get that theres just so many things going on every single play, but I just feel like sometimes its just so blatant and obvious that it should be a no-miss call. ... Its just frustrating. You see it every single week. They say you can call holding every single week -- take a look at the tape. They send us stuff every single week, saying, Yeah, this should have been called. It does us no good when the games over.The Vikings became the first team to sack Prescott at least three times since Week 2, and Robisons forced fumble was one of two Vikings takeaways. The pressure created by one of the leagues best defensive fronts, though, could have teams looking for whatever edge they can find.Teams are going to do different things against us, because of what we are able to do with our front four and the blitz package we have, Robison said. Theyre going to try to establish the run, and then theyre going to try to do some max protections and things like that. You do see, a lot of times, a last-ditch effort, they just grab and hold. Its bad in a way, but at the end of the day, weve got to figure out a way to get it done. Patrick Mahomes II Jersey .In my heart and mind Im competing for India, luge competitor Shiva Keshavan told The Associated Press in an email interview.

The Celtics closed out their first preseason under Stevens on Wednesday night with a 101-97 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, who rested a lot of their lineup including former Celtics Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce.Super League club Salford face a crucial hearing on Monday when their alleged salary-cap breach will go in front of a judge. The Red Devils bid for a first top-eight finish under Marwan Koukashs regime could hinge on the outcome of the hearing, which is being held by an independent off-field operational rules tribunal of the Rugby Football League.Salford were charged by the RFL on March 4 of exceeding Super Leagues £1.825m wage ceiling in 2014 and 2015 but Koukash has consistently vowed to prove the innocence of his club. Bradford chairman Marc Green initially raised questions over the Red Devils use of the cap in the two years in question and in particular their signing of Tony Puletua from St Helens in 2014.Koukash claims Greens intervention put pressure on the RFL and at a press conference on March 10 accused the governing body of treating his club unfairly.Were going to fight this and win it together - I dont want anyone to doubt that, Koukash said.I have nothing to worry about. If necessary I will go to the highest court in the land. I have the means to do so in order to protect the interests of my club, its fans and our players. Salford are chasing a top--eight finish in Super League Koukash insisted his club did nothing wrong over Puletua and insists his actions in gifting 2015 player of the year Niall Evalds with a Maserati car were carried out within the regulations. Anthony Sherman Jersey. Salford, who are operating well below the salary cap this year, were the last club to be docked competition points but that was for inadvertently having 14 players on the pitch for a short time in a match against Castleford in 2013.There have been eight cases of points deductions for salary-cap breaches in Super League but none since 2007 following the introduction of a live cap which is monitored by a salary cap manager appointed by Super League.In the worst case, Wigan were docked four points nine years ago after going over the then £1.6m wage ceiling by £222,314 the previous season when they were fighting relegation. Since Bradford were ordered to forfeit six points after going into administration in 2012, the RFL drastically increased the sanctions and now the governing body has the power to deduct up to 20 points and impose restrictions on the ability of a club to register any new players.
