Daniel and Henrik Sedin avoided free agency at seasons end with each signing a four-year, $28 million contract extension with the Vancouver Canucks. The brothers will each earn an average of $7 million per season. The deal will see the 33-year-old Swedish twins remain in a Canucks uniform through the 2017-18 season and likely finish their NHL careers in Vancouver. “Daniel and Henrik are exemplary leaders, teammates and humanitarians and were very pleased to have them as part of our team for the long-term,” said general manager Mike Gillis. “Few players in the history of this club have had more significant roles in contributing to the success of this team and to our community and we look forward to many more years with their positive influence leading the way.” The Sedins are in the final year of a five-year, $30.5 million deal they signed ahead of the 2009-10 season. Henrik holds franchise records for most points (792), assists (610), plus/minus (+200) and consecutive games played (629). The Ornskoldsvik, SWE, native ranks second in franchise history in games played (940) and third in game-winning goals (33). Daniel ranks second in franchise history in scoring, passing Naslund with a two-point effort April 22/13 versus the Chicago Blackhawks. The brothers were drafted by the Canucks in the first round of the 1999 NHL Entry Draft, Daniel getting selected second overall and Henrik going third. They spent their entire NHL careers with the Canucks, registering a combined 473 goals and 1,550 points over 12 seasons.

Ecclestone dismissed on Wednesday any clash between the series, after the top executive at Texas Motor Speedway called F1 “arrogant” for scheduling the United States Grand Prix in Austin on the same weekend that his track hosts NASCAR in Fort Worth.BALTIMORE — Kentucky Derby winner California Chrome was made the odds-on favourite at 3-5 on Wednesday for the Preakness Stakes, and he drew an inside post position in the 10-horse field that includes a filly for the first time in five years. Trained by Art Sherman and ridden by Victor Espinoza, California Chrome will break from the No. 3 post, which has produced 10 winners in the previous 138 runnings of the 1 3/16-mile race, the last being Prairie Bayou in 1993. “Three is fine with me,” Sherman said. “Most of the speed is on the outside of me. If they go, they go, I can tuck in right behind them without any problems. I think my horse will perform.” So does California Chromes co-owner Steve Coburn, who dared to look ahead. “One race at a time,” he said, “but Im still thinking Triple Crown.” If California Chrome wins on Saturday, next up would be the Belmont Stakes on June 7. Only 11 horses have swept the Derby, Preakness and Belmont and none since 1978. California Chrome brings a five-race winning streak into the Preakness, having won that many by a combined 26 lengths. Still, his overwhelming odds surprised Sherman, a 77-year-old trainer who has never had a colt this good. “I never thought Id be that kind of price,” he said. “I really thought Id be 6-5.” Speedster Social Inclusion was the 5-1 second choice of new Pimlico oddsmaker Keith Feustle. The colt drew the No. 8 post. He skipped the Kentucky Derby and is one of seven new horses lining up to challenge California Chrome. “Im never afraid of nothing,” owner Ron Sanchez said. “We have a great post position. We have slow horses to our outside. Thats going to help us a lot.” Bayern and Ride On Curlin are the co-third choices at 10-1. Bayern, who ddrew the No.dddddddddddd 5 post, is trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, who is seeking a sixth Preakness win. Rosie Napravnik will ride the colt, trying to become the first female jockey to win the race. Ride On Curlin finished seventh in the Kentucky Derby two weeks ago. Once again, Ride On Curlin drew an outside post, landing in the No. 10 spot after breaking from the 19th position in the Derby starting gate under Calvin Borel. This time, Joel Rosario will ride the colt. Borel has switched to filly Ria Antonia, who is the longest shot in the field at 30-1. “I wish she was 50-1,” co-owner Ron Paolucci said. “The way she works and trains, she thinks shes 3-5.” She will try to become the first filly to win the Preakness since Rachel Alexandra beat the boys in 2009. Like Rachel, Ria Antonia did not run in the Derby first. She finished sixth in the Kentucky Oaks, held the day before the Derby. After the Oaks, Ria Antonias owners switched trainers, dumping Baffert for Tom Amoss. “I always wanted to run in this race,” Paolucci said. “My filly is a really big filly, shes really solid. Coming back in two weeks gives her an absolute edge. I know its really going to help her.” General a Rod is the only other Derby horse to try the Preakness. He was 11th at Churchill Downs. There is a trio of 20-1 shots in the field. One of them, Kid Cruz, is trained by Linda Rice, giving the Preakness a female trainer, jockey and filly in the same race for the first time. The other 20-1 shots are Pablo Del Monte, who drew the No. 9 post, and Ring Weekend, who will break from the No. 4 spot. Illinois Derby winner Dynamic Impact drew the No. 1 post, putting the colt along the rail, a spot not favoured by most trainers who fear getting trapped inside.

Téma: Jak postupovat / lead the Jets, while

EDMONTON – It didnt take long for Alexander Steen to make the St. Louis Blues investment in him pay off. Steen looks to set a new career high for goals in a season on Saturday night as the Blues visit the struggling Edmonton Oilers. The 29-year-old Steen officially signed a three-year contract extension on Thursday worth $17.4 million and went out that night and scored twice in a 5-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens. The extension was a no-brainer for the Blues as Steen leads the club with 24 goals, matching the previous career high he set over 68 games in 2009-10. The forward has 38 points in 34 games this season. Jaden Schwartz, Chris Stewart and Maxim Lapierre all scored for the Blues and Brenden Morrow tallied his 300th assist to help the Blues snap a two-game losing streak and improve to 4-1-1 in the last six games. T.J. Oshie added two assists and Jaroslav Halak came up with 25 saves. “We stuck with it and just played the way we should be playing, the way we were playing early in the season,” said Steen. St. Louis, which played on Thursday without Vladimir Sobotka and David Backes due to upper-body injuries, is expected to give Brian Elliott his 10th start of the season tonight. He is 4-3-0 with a 3.05 goals against average in his career versus the Oilers. Edmonton is set to play two straight and three of its next four at home after going winless on a four-game road trip. The Oilers have lost a season high- tying five straight overall following a 4-2 setback to the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday. Taylor Hall and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins both finished with a goal and an assist for the Oilers, while Devan Dubnyk made 35 saves. Edmonton has been outscored 18-6 over its losing streak. “We played three good games on this trip. It was frustrating losing them, they were all close. We have to be the ones getting the empty-net goals, not them,” said Nugent-Hopkins. Ilya Bryzgalov may get the start for the Oilers and is 6-9-1 with a 2.96 GAA in his career when facing the Blues. Also helping Bryzgalovs case is the fact that Dubnyk is 0-7-0 with a 4.72 GAA in his career versus St. Louis. Edmonton forward David Perron is set to play his former St. Louis club for the first time. He was a first-round pick by the Blues in 2007, taken 26th overall, and logged 84 goals, 114 assists and 198 points in 340 games before getting traded to the Oilers on July 10 for Magnus Paajarvi and a 2014 second- round pick. The Oilers had lost five straight to the Blues before notching a 3-0 victory in St. Louis on the most recent meeting on March 26. The Blues are still 11-2-1 in the past 14 in the series and have won two straight and five of their last seven in Edmonton. [url=http://www.officialnflonlineshop.com/Black-Frid… Slater Jersey[/url] . PAUL, Minn. [url=http://www.officialnflonlineshop.com/Black-Frid… Slater Authentic Jersey[/url] ., native Andrew Wiggins wasnt around a year ago for one of the worst nights in Kansas basketball history. http://www.officialnflonlineshop.com/Black-Frid…. Though the Jets have not confirmed any updates to Scheifeles status, TSN Hockey Analyst Aaron Ward says early reports indicate he suffered an MCL injury and will likely out 6-8 weeks. [url=http://www.officialnflonlineshop.com/Black-Frid… Arrington Jersey[/url] . The stadium gasped. Reliever Drew Storen, already with men on first and second with none out in the seventh inning of a tie game, was on the ropes. Then Storen threw Stanton a slider. Swing and a miss. Strike three. Momentum shifted. Two popouts later, the inning was over with no damage done, and the Washington Nationals scored the go-ahead run in the bottom of the inning to take a 4-3 win over the Miami Marlins. [url=http://www.officialnflonlineshop.com/Black-Frid… Ngata Authentic Jersey[/url] . McCann was hurt in the third inning Friday night against Cleveland but remained in the game until he was pinch hit for in the sixth. Manager Joe Girardi said McCann was feeling cloudy.The Winnipeg Jets 3-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday wrapped up a post- Olympic home stretch that saw the Jets play nine of 12 at home, finishing with a 3-4-2 record and eight of a possible 18 points. The story of the scoreless first period was Hurricanes goaltender Cam Ward, as the Jets outshot the Hurricanes 13-6 and had a number of grade “A” scoring chances, the best off the stick of Bryan Little. It looked as though Little had the open net but Ward came diving across and stopped the mid-air shot with the paddle of his stick. “Thats probably the best save anyones made on me in my career,” Little would tell TSN 1290 in a post-game interview. While Ward followed that up with another great save on a wrap-around try by Eric ODell. The Jets did have a two man advantage for 42 seconds, the 11th time this season they have enjoyed a five-on-three, they have capitalized five times. The Jets were successful on their one penalty kill. The second period was a complete opposite from the first. Again, one team badly outshot the other, but this time it was the Hurricanes dominating the period. Jim Slater with his first of the year got the Jets on the board first, deflecting a Mark Stuart shot, but the lead lasted a grand total of 37 seconds as Eric Staal tied the game with his 17th of the year. Slater then went off for tripping and 32 seconds later Jordan Staal had the Hurricanes in front with the power play goal. Then 1:08 later Riley Nash banked one in off Montoya to make it a 3-1 game. Three goals in 2:53 for the Hurricanes proved the advantage, while shots in the second were 21-8 Carolina. After having a 9-0 lead on the shot clock in the first, the Hurricanes outshot the Jets since that point 27-12. The third period was again a reversal of the previous period. The Jets got an early goal from Little to pull to within one, his 21st of the year,, with the assist to Michael Frolik.dddddddddddd. The Jets played with plenty of urgency in the third, and felt they had tied the game on a goal by Stuart, only to have it waived off. The officials ruled that Dustin Byfuglien interfered with Ward. No penalty was called on the play, but no goal. The Jets also had a three-on-one break, but neither Devin Setoguchi nor ODell could get a stick on the pass from Evander Kane. Setoguchi had another great chance but was robbed by Ward. The Shots in the third were 15-5 Jets and finished 36-32 Jets. Olli Jokinen had nine shots on goal to lead the Jets, while Tobias Enstrom played 24:49 to lead in ice time. The Jets lost Zach Bogosian in the second period and he is listed as day-to-day. Paul Maurice used to coach the Hurricanes, so Wards performance was not new to him. “The first period is how we wanted it to look,” Maurice told TSN. “Ive seen that from that goalie before. Second period they won 14 face-offs so we were not starting with the puck. We got tight at 2-1. We got back at it in the third, and Ward did it again.” “I wouldnt trade our chances for theirs in a million years,” he continued. “I dont have an answer as to why we couldnt get the puck across the line, but Cam Ward was the best player on the ice.” Maurice did feel the Stuart goal should have counted, however. “[The] video shows he got tripped. At the end of the day it was a good goal for me.” On the loss, Maurice offered: “This one is going to hurt for a day, until we get a chance to fix it Monday.” The Jets now start a five-game road trip, game one in Dallas Monday on TSN Jets and TSN Radio Winnipeg 1290. Remaining games are in San Jose Thursday, Los Angeles Saturday, Anaheim Monday and Phoenix on Monday. So the Jets start and finish the trip against teams they are chasing.

SAN ANTONIO — Mexicos Orlando Salido outpointed two-time Olympic champion Vasyl Lomachenko in a featherweight bout Saturday night at the Alamodome after losing his WBO title when he failed to make weight. Salido (41-12-2) had winning scores of 116-112 and 115-113, and the third judge scored it 115-113 for Lomachenko. Lomachenko, from the Ukraine, could have won the WBO title in his second pro fight, but it remained vacant his loss. Lomachenko, 1-1 as a pro after going 397-1 as an amateur, earned an extra $15,000 for keeping the fight after Salido came in over the 126-pound class limit. Salido kept his body close on Lomachenko, and aimed punches at the challengers belt. He was cautioned on occasion to bring them up. Lomachenko showed little power through much of the fight, yet he kept it close with his boxing skill. But there were so many occasions that Lomachenko had to pull and push away from Salido that he used as much effort getting away as he did throwing punches.

Téma: Jak postupovat / hentic-Jersey/]Julian Edelman Patr

TORONTO — Kyle Lowry scored on an awkward, lurching 31-foot buzzer-beater just before halftime Wednesday, a circus shot that left him sprawled, grinning on his stomach on the Air Canada Centre floor. The Raptors very nearly spoiled what was the point guards finest performance — in a playoff series full of them — while holding on for a 115-113 victory over the Brooklyn Nets. Lowry poured in 36 points in the victory that gave the Raptors a 3-2 lead in their best-of-seven playoff series. “He is great, he did a great job,” Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. "But this game tonight, we have got to learn from it because there are so many learning experiences from tonights game. Having the lead, (handling) prosperity, embracing the pressure. “Kyle. . . 36 points is huge. Huge for us.” DeMar DeRozan added 23 points, while Jonas Valanciunas finished with 16 and Greivis Vasquez added 15. Amir Johnson chipped in with 11 points for the Raptors who gave up a 26-point lead in the fourth quarter, making for some tense moments at the ACC, but held on for the victory. When asked to describe the emotions of a fourth quarter that saw the Nets score 44 points, Casey answered: “You wouldnt want to hear it.” The series heads back to Brooklyns Barclays Center for Game 6 on Friday, and a victory there would send them to a second-round series against the Miami Heat. A Game 7, if necessary, would be Sunday in Toronto. The Raptors controlled the game through the second and third quarters, when it seemed they could do no wrong, and led by 26 points twice late in the third. They headed into the fourth up 91-69 and appeared poised to cruise to an easy victory, but the Nets had plenty of fight left, tying the game at 101 on a three-pointer by Joe Johnson with 3:16 to go, stunning the crowd. Lowry drained the go-ahead three and then scored on a driving hook shot to put Toronto up by three points with 27 seconds left. A three and foul shot by Anderson pulled the Nets to within a point, but Andray Blatche — with Lowry running right at him — turned the ball over on a backcourt violation sealing the Raptors victory. “Hes a helluva player,” DeRozan said of Lowry. “Its just that dog in him. . . Every time hes out there on the court, understand, Im going to give my best effort, because I know hes going to do the same.” Lowry, playing with his right knee in a protective sleeve after injuring it in Game 3 in Brooklyn, has been solid all series, but took it to another level Wednesday, providing all kinds of highlight-reel plays. There was the diving three at the halftime buzzer. There was the 85-foot outlet pass that found an unmarked Terrence Ross under the basket. But the point guard was particularly big down the stretch, taking charges and slicing through the Nets defence for tough buckets. “When we needed a big shot, No. 7 came through. Kyle was unbelievable,” said Raptors forward Chuck Hayes. "Theres nothing more you can say. Hes doing it at the right time on the biggest stage. “We need an answer, we call Kyle. Kyle will figure it out.” It was the kind of game the Raptors would have coughed up down the stretch last season, and Casey said the team does take something from holding on for a win. “But we cant live that way. Our history has been pretty good in the fourth quarter, but tonight, for whatever reason, they flipped the switch and flipped the script,” the coach said. Joe Johnson led the Nets with 30 points, while Mirza Teletovic added 17, and Deron Williams and Alan Anderson finished with 13 apiece. The teams split the first two games in Toronto, and did the same in Games 3 and 4 in Brooklyn. A Game 7, if necessary, would be Sunday in Toronto. “One game at a time and we have to take care of home,” said Pierce. “I think we will play better on Friday at home and we will see them back here on Sunday.” The capacity ACC crowd of 20,393 that included Drake and rapper 50 Cent — who dipped his head when the camera was on him to show fans his “Northern Uprising” hat - was loud all game long, from the moment the fans sang along to O Canada to the final buzzer. The arena was a sea of white, as fans wore their white “We The North” T-shirts. They mocked the Nets by chanting “Broo-klyn!” the traditional chant at the Barclays Center. The Nets even took note, posting on the teams official Twitter account: ".Nets fans take note this is what a playoff crowd sounds like..set your DVD and take notes .RAPTORSvNETS." Despite the rain and chilly temperatures, some 4,500 fans jammed into Maple Leaf Square outside the ACC to watch the game on the big screen. They were given rain ponchos. Some 1,200 fans were also given black and gold OVO/Raptors lint-rollers, a nod to Drake using a lint-roller while sitting courtside during Game 2. An array of Toronto sports celebrities took the stage, including Toronto FCs Jermain Defoe, Michael Bradley and Julio Cesar, and former Raptors Morris Peterson and Jerome Williams. “Ive never seen support like this. This is special,” Defoe said in an on-stage interview. Cesar, wearing a No. 7 Raptors jersey, yelled “Lets go Raptors!” This series has been spirited from Day 1 when Raptors GM Masai Ujiri took the stage and dropped his famous F-bomb about Brooklyn. An enterprising man outside the ACC on Wednesday was selling F—- Brooklyn buttons, three for $5. Fans were wearing the same on T-shirts at the game. Johnson led the way with nine points for Toronto in a first quarter that saw neither team lead by more than six. The Raptors ended the quarter with a 10-2 run capped by a Lowry three-pointer that put Toronto up 28-25 going into the second. The Raptors trailed by four points with just over five minutes to go in the second, but finished the quarter on a 26-4 run capped by Lowrys three, part of a 13-point performance in the quarter for the point guard. The Raptors went into the locker-room at halftime buoyed by a 62-44 lead. The third quarter has been the Raptors nemesis in this series, but not so on Wednesday. They didnt take their foot off the pedal, shooting 58 per cent to twice go ahead by 26 points. Toronto went into the fourth with a 91-69 lead.

Téma: Jak postupovat / ing aside, the rest have

SACRAMENTO – Some say that living well is the best revenge. At least four players on the Raptors roster subscribe to that philosophy. When Torontos Patrick Patterson, John Salmons, Greivis Vasquez and Chuck Hayes return to Sacramentos Sleep Train Arena Wednesday, theyll be feeling a lot better about themselves than when they were last in the building, when they called it home. Its been nearly two full months since that fateful night in Los Angeles when a seven-player trade shook the foundation of the Raptors franchise. As reports began to circulate hours before tip-off, the timing of the deal caught everyone off guard. In exchange for the bloated contract and modest production of Rudy Gay – along with Quincy Acy and Aaron Gray – Toronto took back four veteran wild cards. Each of the four had experienced some level of individual success in the league. Vasquez and Patterson – the youngest of the four – were both coming off career seasons, one in New Orleans, the other in Houston. Hayes – a nine-year vet – had been a starter with the Rockets and Salmons, now in his 12th season, was a key contributor to playoff teams in Chicago and Milwaukee. At 34 and 30 respectfully, Salmons and Hayes immediately became the elder statesmen on a young Raptors squad. Each of them had started in at least one of Sacramentos first 18 games. They were rotation players for a team that was 5-13 at the time of the trade. “Coming from here in Sacramento, things werent that great,” Salmons said, candidly reflecting back on the trade after wrapping up practice in the Kings gym Tuesday. “So when we got the opportunity to come here we just wanted to take advantage of it. Losings not fun and this team had a chance to make a run at the playoffs.” Without Gay, who was shooting 39 per cent and hoisting just under 19 shots per game, most anticipated there would be at least some addition by subtraction but no one – even internally – knew what to expect from the incoming Kings players. Likewise, they didnt know what to expect from a Raptors team that had a 6-12 record prior to that game in LA on Dec. 8. “I mean you hear stuff about other teams, but the only thing you really know is their record,” Salmons added. “You know their record, you know their roster but you dont know the whole story. So coming in all we saw was the record, we didnt know that the locker room was full of good guys.” Toronto has gone 19-10 since the trade was made official, 19-9 since the acquired players made their Raptor debuts, good for the third-best record in the Eastern Conference over that stretch. Not only did the trade improve the Raptors bench, it made their bench. On most nights, Dwane Casey has settled into a strict nine-man rotation, using the four ex-Kings as his primary reserves. Torontos bench combined for 35 points on 52 per cent shooting in Mondays win over the Jazz. They have scored 30 or more in three of the last five contests and are averaging 26.6 points since the trade. Casey has entrusted them to be on the floor in key situations. Quite frankly, theyve earned it. “I feel like we got four veteran, solid players that really helped us in a lot of different ways and gave us some toughness off the bench,” the Raptors coach said. “Right now, obviously [Toronto is] playing at a very high level,” said Kings coach Mike Malone. “I think all four of our guys are helping them at different points.” The newcomers have each put their stamp on the teams run. Often the first player off the bench, Patterson is logging fewer minutes than he was in Sacramento, yet averaging three more points per game, contributing nearly 10 as a Raptor. Hayes has carved out a niche as a reliable, savvy and hardworking stopper and rebounder. Salmons, a two-way player, has become Torontos third ball handler. Of the four, Vasquez is the only one who has seen his scoring average dip since coming to the Raptors. Still, hes not complaining. “Im in a different situation right now and Im pretty happy,” said Vasquez, who has stepped in as a reliable backup to Kyle Lowry, something the team was desperately searching for early in the season. “I think winning really makes everything so much better. Id rather be in a winning program right now than going through a tough time [in Sacramento].” You would have to be naive to think that Wednesdays return to Sacramento is just another game for those four. The Kings are 11-19 since sending them to Toronto and the statement theyre hoping to make has more to do with their collective success than individual performances. “You always look forward to playing the team that traded you,” said Vasquez, averaging seven points and four assists with the Raptors. “More than that its about winning. At the end of the day, whether I play well, whether I dont play well, I just want to go back to Sacramento with a win.” Vasquez was only with the Kings for a couple months to begin the season. For Salmons, his connection with the Sacramento franchise goes back seven years. In 2006, the Philadelphia-native pulled out of a deal with the Raptors to sign in Sacramento. After being moved to the Bulls, then to the Bucks, Salmons eventually found his way back to the Kings but became expendable when new ownership decided to take the team in a different direction. The trade to Toronto was Salmons fifth since being drafted out of Miami in 2002 but he took this one more personally than the others. He felt slighted by an organization that he had spent most of his career playing for. “When I got traded I had mixed feelings, strong mixed feelings,” he admitted. “Im not going to say I was totally mad at the [Kings] organization it was just, I dont know, it was just a little tougher this time.” Now, as he and his teammates get set to make their much-anticipated return, that animosity is water under the bridge, more or less. Salmons, like the other three, is sincerely happy to be a Raptor. Winning is the best medicine. “Guys enjoy winning,” said Salmons. “Theres the old saying, winning cures everything so the more we win the more people want to sacrifice to continue winning.” [url=http://www.zapatillaskopenbaratas.es/]Nike Air Max 90 Baratas Online[/url] . “I cant say much, we agreed not to say much, but talks are ongoing and Andrei wants to stay in Montreal,” agent and former NHL player Sergei Berezin told TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun on ESPN.com on Friday.

Buckeyes sophomore forward Jared Sullinger missed the game with back spasms, but that didnt stop Ohio State (8-0), as Deshaun Thomas dropped 11 points to go with five rebounds, while Scott Shannon and Jordan Sibert contributed seven points apiece.It is easy to dismiss the importance of a small international break held in the middle of the most important stretch of the league season. For some in England, it is just a distraction away from the main event known as the Barclays Premier League. Many “fans” gathered in front of their television to watch their nation play on Wednesday and hoped none of the players who play for their clubs would get hurt. It is a challenge for English football fans to put their country first over their clubs at the best of times. At the start of March? A big ask. Even those who were behind the game may have been falling asleep into their beverage of choice, as England, once again, showed a real lack of intensity and tempo. The biggest moment of the first half came when Jack Wilshere had his foot trod on by Denmark and Liverpool defender Daniel Agger and, as he lay down on the ground crying, Arsenal fans, even more than England fans, held their breaths. Wilshere would play on, as would England, in a game played at a leisurely pace in front of many empty red seats at Wembley. In truth, you could have removed the fans, the stands and the cameras and it was nothing more than a glorified training game for most. Not for Roy Hodgson. Being the final match of the season for the England boss before he gathers his players on May 13 to begin his preparation for Brazil, it was an opportunity to see some of his players work together. However, even the most staunch supporter of such a fixture will have left Wembley on Wednesday night wondering just what conclusions Hodgson will have come up with from the match. This was as dull as it gets. Hodgson visits whichever Premier League games he likes throughout the season and, without question, he will be able to find out more about the players in those systems than one he attempted to put together once all the players reported on Sunday. The game against Denmark, which England won 1-0, saw Hodgson deploy a 4-3-3 and give a number of young players an opportunity to represent their country. There was little else that could be taken from it, really.I had made my mind up about most of my England final 23 before the game and nothing swayed me from it against Denmark. Goalkeepers Strangely, Hodgson named four goalkeepers inside his 30-man squad for the game against Denmark. Joe Hart started and is the undisputed number one and whichever two players are chosen to back him up are, likely, not that important. Defenders Arguably the biggest decision of all from Hodgsons starting XI was Ashley Cole starting at left back. The veteran has started three Premier League games in four months for Chelsea and doesnt look like finding his way back into Jose Mourinhos side any time soon. However, unlike many England players, it is hard to think of Cole playing poorly too often for England. In a back four short on international tournament experience, Cole shouldnt just go to Brazil, but should start the first game against Italy ahead of Leighton Baines. Luke Shaw, who came on for Cole at half-time, is a fine player whose time will come. Coles Chelsea team-mate Gary Cahill is a lock for Brazil, as is Phil Jagielka, who was injured for the Denmark game. Chris Smalling, his replacement, will also go as he can play centrally or at right back. Likewise, Phil Jones can also be used in those positions, as well as midfield, once he returns to full fitness. The one omission is Kyle Walker, also injured for the game against Denmark, who will likely be selected by Hodgson, as well. Walker, though, wouldnt make my squad as he is a liability defensively, loses concentration often and can be exposed in Hodgsons system that requires his team to defend deep and use width in attack. Glen Johnson used to fall into this category but has made strides under Brendan Rodgers and is clearly a player who thrives when his club manager gives him confidence. Midfielders The discussion about the midfield shape cannot be had without defining Wayne Rooneys role in this team. It is one thing for Rooney to play off the striker for Manchester United against many average Premier League teams, but it is quite another to have him play that role against Italy and Uruguay at the World Cup. He just doesnt defend well enough and Andrea Pirlo at Euro 2012 should have effectively retired Rooney in that position for England. Rooney, then, will play centrally up front on his own, like he did against Denmark and behinnd him will sit a midfield central three.dddddddddddd Captain Steven Gerrard and Wilshere are two automatic starters if they remain fit. For me, the biggest decision comes who plays alongside them. Jordan Henderson got the nod against Denmark and deserved the spot based on his recent impressive displays for Liverpool. That will be enough to get him on the plane to Brazil, but it will be a surprise to see him start the first match against Italy. Gerrard is in terrific form. He starts transitions well and is an excellent distributor from deep areas, but he will likely need a more defensive-minded player alongside him to protect against counter attacks and allow Wilshere more freedom to get forward. This is where Michael Carrick should be used, although it seems to be easy pickings at the moment to knock the Manchester United midfielder. In fact, a national newspaper ran a poll this week and 70 per cent of their readers felt Carrick shouldnt go to Brazil. To ignore a ball treasurer like Carrick would be naïve for England, but it is not like they havent done it before. When England are chasing a game, they will have the opportunity to bring on more attacking players like Henderson, Ross Barkley, Adam Lallana or Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain inside that midfield three. All of these players can make a difference to a game and can bring some tempo and pace when opponents tire. Lallana changed the game against Denmark and England fans will be hoping he can do what David Platt did in 1990, bringing quality and an appreciation of space off the bench. Oxlade-Chamberlain, like James Milner, who is excellent at defending a flank, can play centrally or out wide and both should be picked on quality alone, but also bring much-needed versatility. This all means no place for Frank Lampard and thats how it should be. A World Cup spot should never be given because you were a good servant for years and big games have now passed him by. Forwards This leaves us with five spots. Daniel Sturridge and Raheem Sterling played either side of Wayne Rooney against Denmark. Sturridge scored the games only goal and will likely start Englands first game following a terrific season for Liverpool. Playing him out wide, in a 4-3-3 had its challenges early with his wing being exposed when he drifted centrally, but with three central midfielders that should be ironed out and, at least, he is doing it on the left with a full back who is likely to stay deeper (more than Johnson, that is). Alongside Sturridge, Rooney and Danny Welbeck will both go to Brazil. Hodgson will need to pick one other centre forward who can bring something different to the attack physically, hold the ball up and be a menace to defenders if the game situation warrants it. Rickie Lambert is the odds-on favourite for this spot, but I would take Andy Carroll if he is healthy. It wasnt that long ago that he caused Sweden no end of problems at Euro 2012 and, if he can play well for West Ham in the next ten games, he would get my pick. This leaves one spot. Hodgson could (and probably will) select another defender in Walker, but he may also lean towards another striker like Jermain Defoe or another player in a wide area while withdrawing a central midfielder, such as Sterling, Aaron Lennon, Ashley Young or Andros Townsend. Sterling aside, the rest have had difficult seasons with their clubs. I would probably give the nod to Townsend because he has played well for England and brings pace but, unlike the other 22 spots, this is the one where the next two months will tell me who should go. Whoever is selected, it appears England are a long way away from making a serious run at the knockout stages based on their latest performance. My squad: Goalkeepers: Joe Hart (Manchester City), Fraser Forster (Celtic) and John Ruddy (Norwich) Defenders: Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Chris Smalling (Manchester United), Phil Jones (Manchester United), Phil Jagielka (Everton), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Ashley Cole (Chelsea) and Leighton Baines (Everton) Midfielders: Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Jack Wilshere (Arsenal), Michael Carrick (Manchester United), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Ross Barkley (Everton), Adam Lallana (Southampton), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal) and James Milner (Manchester City) Forwards: Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool), Danny Welbeck (Manchester United), Andy Carroll (West Ham) and Andros Townsend (Tottenham Hotspur) [url=http://www.cheapnfljerseyschinaplay.com/]cheap nfl jerseys[/url] [url=http://www.cheapjerseyschina.cc/]wholesale jerseys[/url] ’ ’ ’

ROGERS, Ark. — Defending champion Yani Tseng shot a 4-under 67 on Saturday and Amy Yang had a 64 to share the second-round lead in the LPGA Tours NW Arkansas Championship at 9 under. The top-ranked Tseng, the LPGA Championship and Womens British Open winner, leads the tour with four victories this season and has seven overall wins this year. “I think its hard to not have pressure because, I mean, for sure Ive got pressure tomorrow, defending champion and in the lead,” Tseng said. “The kind of things going to be a little pressure, but I just want to enjoy that pressure. I know tomorrow, first couple holes going to be nervous. If I were not nervous, that would be a little weird, so I mean, I care.” Taylor Leon (67) was a stroke back, and former Arkansas star Stacy Lewis (69) was 7 under along with U.S. Solheim Cup teammate Cristie Kerr (66), Inbee Park (65) and Jin Young Pak (68). “I was kind of frustrated,” Lewis said. “I left a lot of putts out there. My speed was just a little off and my lines were a little off, but still it was a good enough round that it kept me in it for tomorrow.” Michelle Wie missed the cut with rounds of 78 and 72. Four Canadians made the cut. Jessica Shepley from Oakville, Ont., shot a 5 under to move into a tie for 28th at 3 under. Adrienne White of Red Deer, Alta., shot even par and is at 2 under. Charlottetowns Lorie Kane (71) is at 2 over for the tournament. Hamiltons Alena Sharp just made the cut after shooting a 3 over and is at 2 over overall. Stephanie Sherlock from Barrie, Ont., missed a missed the cut by a stroke after shooting a 1 over. Montreals Lisa Meldrum shot a 4 over and Samantha Richdale of Kelowna, B.C., bounced back with a 1 over round but still finished at 8 over after two rounds. Tseng had six birdies and two bogeys on the Pinnacle Country Club course. She nearly aced the 160-yard 15th hole, hitting to 2 feet to set up a birdie. She played her back nine in 32. “I worked on my tempo on the back nine,” Tseng said. “I got a little too fast with my tempo, but I just keep to myself, keep focused, and actually back nine I got really lucky. I had a good bounce on No. 8, good bounce on No. 4 or 5, and I have a great up and down on par 3, so those three shots were important.” Yang is winless on the LPGA Tour. She eagled the par-5 seventh. “Everything was good today,” Yang said. “I was hitting the ball solid and hitting the putts solid. You know, from tee to green, I was playing good. Im really happy about my game.” Paula Creamer (68) was 6 under along with Ai Miyazato (67), Morgan Pressel (68) and Belen Mozo (65). “I play to win, thats for sure,” Creamer said. “Im out here trying to win every week that I can. It hasnt been the stellar year that I wanted it to be, but Ive been overcoming a lot of things. I feel really good about where I am.” Jaclyn Sweeney had a hole-in-one on the par-3 sixth, but missed the cut with rounds of 77 and 71. Pernilla Lindberg aced the 11th Friday.

AVONDALE, La. - As Seung-Yul Noh exhaled and tilted his head back in a skyward gaze on the 18th green, fellow South Korean players Y.E. Yang and Charlie Wi charged toward him, spraying him with bottled beer. Noh smiled, removed his hat, held both arms out and soaked it all in. The 22-year-old overcame windy conditions and the pressure that goes with attempting to secure a maiden PGA Tour triumph, shooting a 1-under 71 on Sunday to win the Zurich Classic by two shots. He also knew he achieved another goal of providing some joy to a nation that has been reeling since a passenger ship capsized April 16, leaving 300 missing or dead. “Hopefully, theyll be happy,” said Noh, who wore black and yellow ribbons on his white golf hat to honour victims of the ferry accident. While Noh, the leader through three rounds, never fell out of first, he did make his first three bogeys of the tournament and briefly fell into a tie with Keegan Bradley, the 2011 PGA Championship winner who had the gallery behind him. But Bradley did himself in with a bogey on the fifth hole and a triple bogey on the sixth. “I actually played pretty well,” Bradley said. “Just made one bad swing on 6 and had a bunch of lip-outs.” Noh remained steady enough- even with wind gusting up to 30 mph — to hold off the remaining challengers. “Very challenging today out there, especially playing with Keegan, a major champion, and heavy wind,” Noh said. Noh needed a few clutch shots on the back nine, including a chip out of a grassy downhill lie on the edge of a bunker on 13, which hit the flag on a bounce, setting up a routine birdie putt. On 16, with wind in his face, Noh landed his approach 3 feet from the hole to set up his last birdie, then made a 14-foot par putt on 17 to assure a two-shot cushion on the final hole, uncharacteristically pumping his first afterward. “Yeah, that was a clutch putt,” Noh said, explaining that it left him “very comfortable” on 18. Noh had made 77 previous PGA Tour starts, never finishing better than tied for fourth at the 2012 AT&T National. He took the third-round lead in New Orleans while becoming the first to play 54 holes at TPC Louisiana without a bogey. The seventh first-time PGA Tour winner in the last 10 years in the New Orleans event, Noh finished at 19-under 269 and earned $1,224,000. He was playing for the first time with caddie Scott Sajjtinac, who seemed awe struck by Nohs combination of talent, wisdom and sense of calm for a player so young.dddddddddddd “Hes going to be good,” Sajtinac said. “He was unflappable. You need to be unflappable to win on the PGA Tour.” Andrew Svoboda and Robert Streb tied for second. Svoboda had a 69. Streb shot 70, including an eagle on the second hole, and was one shot off the lead after a birdie on 8, but his tee shot was pushed into water by a crosswind on the par-3 ninth hole, and he made double-bogey. Jeff Overton, who briefly pulled within a stroke of Noh on the back nine, had a 70 to finish fourth at 16 under. Bradley wound up with a 75 to tie for eighth at 13 under. On Saturday, Bradley worked his way into the final group, two strokes behind Noh, with a 65. Bradley was within a stroke after the first hole Sunday, which saw Noh hit his drive into mulch right of the fairway en route to his first bogey. Bradley then birdied the par-5 second hole to tie Noh. But just a few holes later, Bradley missed a par putt from less than 2 feet, and followed that up by hitting his drive into the water on No. 6. Then, he three-putted to complete a pivotal two-hole stretch in which he dropped four strokes. While Bradley never recovered from his front-nine falter, Noh still had to ward off a challenge from Overton, who was one stroke back after his 20-foot birdie putt on 10. Overton, however, bogeyed 11 when he hit his drive into a bunker left of the fairway and his second shot over the fairway and right of the cart path. Noh, meanwhile, has the victory he needed to get into The Players Championship next month, and his first Masters next spring. “Dreams come true,” Noh said. “When I started at 7 playing golf, I dreamed of always playing (on the) PGA Tour … or playing any major, especially the Masters.” Divots: Robert Garrigus, who narrowly made the cut Friday, had the best score Sunday with a 64. The round included a 374-yard drive with a tail wind on 18, which he birdied to tie for fifth at 14 under, along with two-time heart transplant recipient Erik Compton. Garrigus, who would have earned nothing had he been one stroke worse during the first two rounds, took home $248,200. … Ben Martin, who shot a course-record 62 in the first round and was 14 under through 22 holes, was 3 over on the last 50 holes. He tied for 15th with David Toms. [url=http://www.cheapnfljerseyschinaplay.com/]cheap nfl jerseys[/url] [url=http://www.cheapjerseyschina.cc/]wholesale jerseys[/url] ’ ’ ’

LIVERPOOL, England — Liverpool came back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Aston Villa on Saturday in the English Premier League. The visitors took a deserved lead in the 25th minute when Gabriel Agbonlahors cross from the touchline left midfielder Andreas Weimann with the simplest of finishes. Striker Christian Benteke headed in a second in the 36th leaving the home side facing an uphill task. Daniel Sturridge halved the deficit in first-half stoppage time, after Jordan Hendersons deft flick found its way into the strikers path. The home side levelled matters in the 53rd when Steven Gerrard converted from the penalty spot after goalkeeper Brad Guzan felled Luis Suarez.

[url=http://www.theseahawksofficialonline.com/Seahaw… Lockette Jersey[/url] . Five first-round trades were made Tuesday night as well as another involving an early second-round selection. LOS ANGELES — Blake Griffins jaw-dropping one-handed jam over Kendrick Perkins sent Los Angeles Clippers fans into a frenzy, fired up his teammates, lit up the Twitterverse and burned the Oklahoma City Thunder. Griffin had 22 points to go with Chris Pauls 26 points and 14 assists in a 112-100 victory Monday night that snapped the Thunders four-game winning streak in a matchup of division leaders. Griffin downplayed his monster move after the game, a sly smile only briefly breaking his serious expression. “CP commands so much attention out there. He came off the pick-and-roll and he hit me in stride,” Griffin said. Paul added: “I told Blake after the game, Thanks for letting me be part of that.” DeAndre Jordan grabbed Griffin from behind in a celebratory bear hug as the basket got replayed over and over in the third quarter. Jordan, who had 11 points and 11 rebounds, couldnt help himself. “I was shocked. I didnt know what to do, so I just grabbed him. I hit him kind of hard,” he said. “Im going to go home and watch it again. Its probably going to be the screensaver on my phone.” Griffin said he knew hed made an impression judging by the crowds raucous response. Then he felt Jordan behind him. “He armlocked me,” Griffin said. “I couldnt breathe.” The reaction on Twitter came fast and furious. Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald tweeted: “Blake Griffin just made one of the top dunks of the season. Maybe even his career. (hashtag) Beast.” Tracy McGrady of the Atlanta Hawks weighed in with “yo, crazy crazy dunk by the dude Blake Griffin.” Even Shaquille ONeals ex-wife was impressed. Shaunie ONeal tweeted: “OMG!!! Did yall just see Blake Griffin dunk!!!!! Daaayyyummm!” Paul had 26 points and 14 assists, Caron Butler also had 22 points, Chauncey Billups scored 13 and Mo Williams 12 as the Pacific-leading Clippers dunked with high-flying abandon against the team with the NBAs best record at 16-4. They won their third in a row to follow up a 109-105 victory at Denver a night earlier that began a stretch of five games in seven nights. “Were not going to read too much into it,” Paul said of the back-to-back wins. “It let us know what were capable of. We can explode offensively.” Kevin Durant had 36 points and 13 rebounds, and Russell Westbrook added 31 for the Northwest-leading Thunder, whose league-best road record dropped to 8-3. They had won 11 of their previous 12. “Chris Paul was running around, getting what he wanted to get on the floor and making passes to guys for wide-open dunks and threes,” Durant said. “Its tough tto stop.dddddddddddd” Griffins monster mash had everyone talking and tweeting, but the Clippers put together a stunning sequence going into halftime. They shocked the Thunder with four consecutive three-pointers in less than a minute to lead 64-46. The flurry by Williams (two), Butler (one) and Billups (one) stopped the Thunders 11-2 run that had drawn them within six points. “I told Mo that might have been the greatest exchange I have been part of since Ive been in the NBA,” Paul said. “That got the crowd into it. Four threes in under a minute is unbelievable.” Jordan said: “We were just hot. It really didnt look like it was real. We were on a high, but we knew we had to come out in the third and knock them out flat.” The Thunder bumbled their way into the half, with Westbrook and Durant combining on three straight turnovers that led to the Clippers long-range fireworks. Williams and Butler had two steals in the run. “That doesnt happen, and it probably wont happen again the rest of the year, that a team will make that many threes in a minute,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. “But they made the shots. They started the game with a lot of urgency and they had us back on our heels.” Los Angeles shot 71 per cent from long range in a half that also featured a series of huge dunks by Jordan, Griffin, Durant and Westbrook, although both teams missed their share of dunks, too. Daequan Cook was the only other Oklahoma City player in double figures with 12 points. Durant and Westbrook scored all but two of the Thunders 25 points in the third quarter, which the Clippers ended on a three-pointer by Paul to lead 90-70. Durant and Westbrook began the fourth on the bench, although they both stood up when Cook hit his second three-pointer of the period to get the Thunder to 95-81. Griffin then scored five in a row, capped by a two-handed jam that extended the Clippers lead to 100-81. The Thunder outscored Los Angeles 30-22 in the fourth, but never made a big run to get close. The Clippers made 13 three-pointers — just off their season high of 14 against Denver on Sunday. They made 10 threes in the first half, led by four from Butler, who connected from his favourite spot in the left corner. The Thunders only lead was four points to start the game. Notes: Butler reached the 10,000-point mark on his third 3-pointer in the first quarter. … Durant and Westbrook have scored at least 25 points each 37 times in their four seasons together. … The Clippers improved to 10-2 at home. … It was the Clippers 12th consecutive sellout this season and 24th in a row overall dating to last season. The crowd of 19,404 included Larry King and Los Angeles Angels pitcher Dan Haren. [url=http://www.cheapnfljerseys2015.us.com/]cheap nfl jerseys[/url] ’ ’ ’

AGADIR, Morocco – Alejandro Canizares of Spain completed a wire-to-wire victory at the Trophee Hassan II by shooting a 2-under 70 in the final round Sunday for a five-stroke win. Leading after all four rounds, Canizares made six birdies and dropped four shots for a 19-under 269 total. “Golf is such a special game because I came here a little depressed about my game,” Canizares told the European Tour website. “It wasnt on. I wasnt hitting the ball well, I wasnt putting well. And after 10 minutes practicing with my coach and 30 minutes practicing with a putting coach, it just clicked and it just felt so natural, so easy. I felt like the golf course was easy for me.” Andy Sullivan was second after shooting the lowest score of the day. The Englishman had 10 birdies and a bogey for a 63. Magnus Carlsson of Sweden carded a 68 to share third place with Seve Benson of England (71) at 276. Canizares won the Russian Open in 2006 and tied for fifth place at the Qatar Masters in January. “Its been a long time since the last win,” Canizares said. “It felt like it was never coming but this week I played great, some of the best golf of my career. I hit good shot after good shot and kept my focus.” Canizares went into the final round with a six-stroke lead. He birdied the 12th hole to extend his lead to eight strokes. The Spaniard had a such a comfortable cushion that he could even afford a double bogey on the final hole. “I was very accurate and solid with my irons,” Canizares said. “I left myself lots of chances and although I did not make all of them, the first day was the key. I putted great the first day, shot 10 under and just kept pushing on.” Sullivan started the final round in 15th place. But he holed seven birdies on the back nine for his best result this season since a fifth-place finish at the Joburg Open in February.

Bottom line, owner James Dolan needs to stay out of the way. Jackson must have the ability to select his GM, front office staff, coaches, support staff and have final say on all player issues.PITTSBURGH — Evgeni Malkin had his seventh NHL hat trick, and tied a career high with five points. He was hardly the only Pittsburgh Penguins player to earn a game puck. Malkins outburst moved him into the top five in NHL scoring and led injury-depleted Pittsburgh to an 8-3 win over the Buffalo on Saturday night. Jason Williams and Simon Despres both scored their first goal with Pittsburgh during the first seven minutes, and James Neal, Deryk Engelland and Chris Kunitz added goals for the Penguins, who had lost four of five. “It was a very exciting night for us,” said Malkin, whose previous hat trick was Nov. 18, 2010, at Atlanta. “I very (much) enjoyed playing. I dont know, it was a lucky day for the whole team.” It certainly was a milestone night for Pittsburgh. Marc-Andre Fleury made 16 saves and became the fourth-youngest goalie to reach 200 NHL victories since 1967, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Despres goal was his first in the NHL, Carl Sneep had an assist in his first NHL game, Pascal Dupuis recorded his 300th point and defenceman Brooks Orpik posted the 100th of his career. “We havent handed that many pucks out after a game ever since Ive been here,” coach Dan Bylsma said. Fourteen players had at least a point for the Penguins, who needed a team effort after losing yet another regular player in a 6-4 loss at Ottawa on Friday. Defenceman Paul Martin (lower-body) didnt play, joining captain Sidney Crosby, top defenceman Kris Letang, centre Jordan Staal and six others who were already out. Williams — recalled along with Sneep earlier Saturday from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the AHL — scored 2:17 in. Despres added a power-play goal 3:50 later, and Malkins first of the game came 2:36 after that. “I dont like talking to doctors at this point in time,” Bylsma said, “But (the strong start) was just what the doctor ordered, yes.” Thomas Vanek scored for the fifth time in six games, and Luke Adam and Paul Gaustad added third-period goals for Buffalo, which has lost six of nine. Malkin moved into 10th place on the Penguins career assist list with 281 and has 12 points in five games since Crosby was sidelined again. Crosby was placed on the injured list Saturday due to concussion-like symptoms. The move helped create roster space for the recalls. The Penguins had lost three of four since Crosby left the lineup. He complained of headaches last weekk in a recurrence of concussion symptoms that sidelined him from Jan.dddddddddddd 5 until Nov. 21. Malkin, Pittsburghs other former NHL scoring champion, has a point in each of the five games Crosby has missed and a goal in four of them. Malkin was facing the Sabres for the first time since a hit from Buffalo defenceman Tyler Myers in a February game resulted in a torn knee ligament and ended Malkins season. “Im not thinking about my points; Im trying to find my game,” Malkin said. “I lost a pretty long time (because of) my knee and started a little bit slow and now I feel a little bit better. Im just finding my way a little and trying to continue to play better every game.” His first goal on Saturday chased goalie Ryan Miller to the bench. Malkin scored later in the first against backup Jhonas Enroth off a pass that travelled more than 100 feet from Sneep. Pittsburgh built a five-goal lead through two periods, but after the Sabres cut the deficit to 6-3 with goals 1:24 apart midway through the third, Malkin struck on the power play. His 15th of the season led to a shower of hats on the ice. The Penguins scored five times on Miller, who has allowed 12 goals in three games. He returned for the second period, but Enroth played the third. “I wasnt good enough,” said Miller, 4-10-3 against Pittsburgh. “I dont think that was anywhere close to good hockey on my part, so I just have to regroup and recover.” Neals goal gave him 18 on the season and extended his point streak to five games. Neal, Williams, Engelland and Kunitz each had a goal and an assist, and Matt Niskanen and Alexandre Picard both had two assists. The Sabres entered the game without seven players due to injury, and neither Tyler Ennis nor Colin Stuart finished this one. Ennis aggravated an ankle injury, and is day-to-day, according to Sabres coach Lindy Ruff. The team didnt disclose Stuarts injury, but Ruff said, “We lost him for a good period of time. Hes probably in the month range or something like that.” NOTES: Fleury, second in the NHL in wins with 16, is 27 years and 19 days old. Only Grant Fuhr, Martin Brodeur and Tom Barasso were younger when they reached win No. 200. … Crosby is eligible to come off the injured list at any time because the minimum seven days has passed since he first missed a game. There is no change in his status. … Orpik assisted Malkins first goal, and Dupuis assist came on the goal by Engelland. [url=http://www.cheapnfljerseys2015.us.com/]cheap nfl jerseys[/url] ’ ’ ’

SAN JOSE, Calif. — John McCarthy and Tommy Wingels sent the San Jose Sharks into a nearly three-week Olympic break on a winning note. McCarthy scored his first goal since 2010 and Wingels had the game-winner for the second straight night to help the Sharks beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-2 on Friday. “You feel the atmosphere now,” San Jose captain Joe Thornton said. “Guys are excited for the break. Its always nice to win before things like this or Christmas. The guys will enjoy the break and come back ready to work for the second half.” Patrick Marleau also scored for the Sharks, who won three of four following a three-game losing streak to reach the break in second place in the Pacific Division. Antti Niemi made 19 saves. The Sharks will be a different team when they next play Feb. 28 in Philadelphia, with the expected return of injured players Logan Couture, Raffi Torres, Matt Nieto and Tyler Kennedy. “Were 80 points at the Olympic break,” coach Todd McLellan said. “We would have been probably pleased with that at the beginning of the season considering some of the players we lost over and throughout the year. We go into the break satisfied. Coming out of it we have work to do.” McLellan also broke Darryl Sutters franchise record by coaching in his 435th game. He already is the franchise leader in wins with 257. Ryan Johansen and Boone Jenner scored for the Blue Jackets, who trail Philadelphia by one point for third place in the Metropolitan Division after losing tight games on consecutive nights in San Jose and Los Angeles. Sergei Bobrovsky made 44 saves. “Obviously, you dont want to go into a break with a loss but we have been playing great hockey the past few games,” Johansen said. “The boys battled hard and we just fell a little short.” Columbus got worn down in the third against the more-rested Sharks, especially on an extended shift early in the period that led to Wingels goal. With the Blue Jackets unable to change a tiring unit under relentless pressure from San Jose, Wingels knocked in a rebound of Jason Demers shot for his second goal in two games to make it 3-1. “The third goal was obviously the big one,” Columbus coach Todd Richards said. “They had momentum at that point. If its a one-shot lead, its something we can do.” Jenner scored midway through the period on Columbus second shot of the third when Johansen set him up following a turnover by Demers. Columbus took advantage of a San Jose turnover to get on the board 18 seconds into the second. Thorntons clearing attempt from the corner was knocked down just inside the blue line by Johansen, who quickly flipped a wrist shot past Niemi before he could react to cut the Sharks lead to 2-1. Bobrovsky, starting on back-to-back nights for the first time since the opening two games of the season, fell into a 2-0 hole less than halfway through the first period. McCarthy, who cleared waivers and was sent to the minors last week, made the most of his opportunity in his return after an injury to Nieto. McCarthy won an offensive zone faceoff against Brandon Dubinsky to start his second shift of the night and went straight toward the net. James Sheppard came up with the loose puck and fired a shot from the faceoff circle that deflected off McCarthys stick and past Bobrovsky for the opening goal. It was McCarthys first since Nov. 6, 2010, against Tampa Bay, ending a drought of 73 games. “Its been a long time and it felt really good to get one,” McCarthy said. Marleau struck less than 5 minutes later with his first goal in seven games. Bobrovsky made a sprawling save to rob Brent Burns in front, but the rebound went to Scott Hannan at the point. He fired a slap shot that Marleau deflected for his 23rd goal. The Blue Jackets had their chances in the first period, but Johansen missed the net on an early breakaway and they failed to convert a pair of power-play chances. They also had an apparent goal waved off when Jenner knocked in a rebound with a high stick. NOTES: Referee Mike Hasenfranz left the game with an apparent injury, and the third period was played with only one referee. … The Sharks lead the NHL with 60 goals in the first period. … Demers returned to the lineup after missing three games with a lower-body injury.

LUCIE, Fla.WASHINGTON — No, confetti didnt fall from the rafters, and theres no parade scheduled for Pennsylvania Avenue. But John Wall pumped his right arm and smiled broadly as he dribbled out the clock, and the first word out of Bradley Beals mouth when he addressed the crowd said it all: “Finally.” The Washington Wizards celebrated what they hope is the end of mediocrity Monday night, moving above .500 for the first time in more than four years with a 100-90 win over the Portland Trail Blazers. “Its only one game over, but, yeah, its a big relief,” said Wall, who has endured more than his share of Wizards frustration since his selection as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 draft. “But the main thing is weve got bigger goals to try to keep winning games and try to keep getting better and try not to go back down — so we wont have to have this talk again.” Wall scored 22 points, and Trevor Ariza added 20 and had another solid defensive game for the Wizards, who hadnt had a winning record since beating the New Jersey Nets to improve to 2-1 on Halloween in 2009. Washington committed six turnovers while forcing 16 from Portland, and Wall and Co. didnt look back after Kevin Seraphin led a 12-0 run that put the Wizards up by 17 early in the fourth quarter. “Its great to finally get this team over the hump,” Beal said. No one on the current Wizards roster was on the team when it was last above .500. They had lost this season at 0-0, 9-9, 14-14, 19-19, 20-20, 21-21 and 22-22, and the hurdle became such a bugaboo that players starting declaring the subject taboo when reporters asked about it. Coach Randy Wittman at one point cautioned against thoughts that “all of a sudden fairy dust is going to fall on us if we get over .500.” Sticking with that theme, Wittman wasnt about to consider having slightly more “Ws” than “Ls” as much of an accomplishment. “It aint out of the way. How many more games have we got to play?” Wittman said. “You act like that was the last daggum game. … If were going to learn to be a good basketball team, we have to do this every night, no matter who youre playing.” The Wizards aare 120-236 since that Oct.dddddddddddd. 31 victory 51 months ago, a .336 winning percentage better than only Minnesota and Sacramento over that span. The streak of futility fell just a few days shy of spanning an entire Winter Olympiad. “Its great that were 24-23 now, but I dont want them to focus on a number,” Wittman said. “I want them to focus on the act of why youre 24-23. Thats where you keep it going. I want this team to get on a run. They havent ever been on a run.” Another way to put the quest to move above mediocrity in perspective: The Trail Blazers would have to lose their next 20 in a row just to fall back to .500. But the Wizards have now topped two of the Wests top teams in back-to-back games, having taken care of Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday. Washingtons first playoff berth since 2008 is well within reach, especially in the watered-down East. The Trail Blazers arrived averaging a league-best 108.3 points and shot 61 per cent in the first half, but Portland was 6 for 17 from the field with seven turnovers in the decisive third quarter as Washingtons defence again held its own against a more celebrated lineup. Seraphin went 7 for 10 from the field and scored a season-high 19 points, making his mark by scoring the last four points of the third quarter and the first four points of the fourth. He followed a turnaround hook shot with a jumper to put the Wizards ahead 86-69. The Trail Blazers cut the deficit to six on a layup by LaMarcus Aldridge with 1:12 remaining, but Nene answered with a jumper to give the Wizards a 98-90 lead. Damian Lillard scored 25 points, and Aldridge had 20 to lead the Trail Blazers, who have lost four straight road games. They could care less about Washingtons over-.500 benchmark, but they know one thing for certain: The Wizards are a better team these days. “Give Washington credit,” Portland coach Terry Stotts said. “They are playing well, theyve beaten some good teams, and they are playing with a lot of confidence.” Notes: G Garrett Temple committed three of Washingtons six turnovers. … Wizards F Trevor Booker missed the game due to personal reasons.

IRVING, Texas — Louis Oosthuizen is still looking for a remedy for his recurring back issues. A victory at the Byron Nelson Championship would sure make him feel much better. “The last year and a half was really frustrating,” he said. Oosthuizen birdied four of the last five holes for a 6-under 64 on Saturday and a share of the third-round lead with Brendon Todd. The 2010 British Open champion had the low round of the day after recovering from bogeys on two of the first four holes. “I made a nice birdie on 5, and just really made some good putts,” Oosthuizen said. “Every opportunity I had for birdie I actually made. My eye was good today, and I hit a lot of them really close.” Todd who made 12 consecutive pars before holing a 4-foot birdie at No. 18 for a 68 to match Oosthuizen at 10-under 200. On the morning of the Nelsons final round last year, Oosthuizen withdrew because of a neck issue. He missed extended time last season, and is still bothered by the back even though he won at home in South Africa in January. Mike Weir, James Hahn and Gary Woodland were a stroke back. “Thats what Ive been working toward the last few years, to get myself back here in this position, and looking forward to the challenge,” said Weir, the 44-year-old left-hander. Weir, the 2003 Masters champion who hasnt a top-25 finish since 2010 when the Canadian had an elbow injury, shot 67 while missing 4-foot putts on Nos. 15 and 16. Hahns 65 included five birdies in a row on the back nine, and Woodland shot 66 with a double bogey at No. 7. Morgan Hoffmann twice fell out of the lead after hitting drives left into the water and making double bogey, at Nos. 11 and 18. He finished with a 68 and was tied for sixth at 8 under with three-time major champion Padraig Harrington, Marc Leishman and Graham DeLaet. Todds only bogey was at the 420-yard fourth hole, when his approach went over the green and he two-putted from 8 1/2 feet. But that was sandwiched by long birdies. After beginning the day with a two-stroke lead, Todd had to make a 4-foot birdie on No. 18 to regain a share of the lead. “I wanted to get one more birdie under my belt so I could be that much closer to shooting the score I need to win Sunday,” Todd said. Oosthuizen was 2 under and well off the pace after his bogey at No. 4, when he hit his second and third shots from the rough and then was in a greenside bunker. The South African blasted to about 10 feet and had to make that putt for bogey, then made three birdies in a row. He made an 8-foot birdie putt at the par-3 fifth, and followed that with an approach to 6 feet at No. 6 and a two-putt from 58 feet at the par-5 seventh. There was another string of three consecutive birdies at Nos. 14-16 before a closing 4 1/2-footer at No. 18. “Its always nice finishing a round on a high,” Oosthuizen said. “You sort of feed off that the next day, and that keeps you going.” Hoffmann was at 10 under and alone in the lead when he hit his drive into the water to the left at the 320-yard 11th hole, with Weir was just ahead on the green. Weir sank a 2-footer for his fourth consecutive birdie to get to 10 under. Hoffmann then hit another drive after his penalty and wound up with a double bogey. But Weir missed putts from about 5 feet on both Nos. 15 and 16, the latter lipping the cup. Hoffmann was again 10 under after birdies at Nos. 15-16, but hit his drive at No. 18 into the water and then hit twice out of the same greenside bunker. Scott Scheffler, a 17-year-old top junior from Dallas playing on a sponsor exemption, made a hole-in-one using a 5-iron on the 218-yard second hole. He is the fourth amateur since 1983 with an ace in a PGA Tour event. That was part of his 69 that also included five bogeys and four birdies to get to 2 under for the tournament. Dallas native Jordan Spieth, now 20 and ranked eighth in the world, made the Nelson cut as an amateur at ages 16 and 17. Spieth shot 73 on Saturday and was even par overall.

Jansen had 28 saves with a 1.88 ERA last season after he took over the closers role from Brandon League. He had been seeking $5.05 million. The Dodgers offered $3.5 million. Said Jansen: “Its kind of a relief that its over now. I tried my best not to let it distract me. At the same time, now I can just focus on opening day.” Jansen is one of five closers on the Dodgers spring-training roster, which also includes League, Brian Wilson, Chris Perez and J.P. Howell.

SINGAPORE — Karrie Webb and Angela Stanford were so close down the stretch Saturday at the HSBC Womens Champions, matching each other birdie for birdie, that Stanford only sees one way to get the advantage in Sundays final round. “Im going to send Webbie a six-pack (of beer) tonight,” she said. Webb wasnt sure that would help. “Ill probably drink one and go to sleep,” the Australian veteran said. The two players set up a Sunday showdown between former HSBC champions after finishing off their third rounds with identical birdies over three of the last five holes Saturday to separate themselves slightly from the rest of the crowded leaderboard. Webb, the 2011 winner, shot a 70 to move to 11-under 205, one stroke ahead of 2012 champion Stanford, who had a 69. They both have a chance to be the first repeat champion of the tournament, although on two different courses. Both players picked up their first HSBC crown at Singapores Tanah Merah Country Club and this years event is being played at the Sentosa Golf Club. Still, Stanford said, there are enough other quality players within striking range after a momentum-shifting day that anybody could claim the title. “Its really not worth looking at (the leaderboard),” she said. “You just know a lot of people are going to be at the top.” Among those chasing Webb and Stanford are Spains Azahara Munoz, who fired an eagle and four birdies for a 5-under 67, the low round of the day; and Taiwans Teresa Lu, who gave up her LPGA membership in 2010 to concentrate on playing in Japan. Both are tied for third at 8-under 208. Americas Paula Creamer, who briefly held the lead with Webb and Munoz on Saturday, had six birdies to go with three bogeys to sit in fifth place at 7 under. Morgan Pressel of the United States was at 6 under, Norways Suzann Pettersen was another stroke back at 5 under, and Swedens Caroline Hedwall and South Koreas Na Yeon Choi were in joint eighth at 4 under. Webb, a seven-time major winner, led the first two rounds in Singapore, but started out slowly on Saturday. She played her front nine at even par and then bogeyed the 10th hole to go to 1 over, allowing the rest of the field to close the gap. “Even when I was not giving myself a lot of good birdie opportunities early on, I had to tell myself its Saturday, theres plenty of golf left to be played and just to be patient,” she said. “And fortunately I listened to myself for a change.” Webb turned it around on the 153-yard, par-3 14th hole, where she struck her tee shot to within a couple feet of the hole for an easy birdie putt. Next came a chip shot from the fairway on the 16th which rolled in for birdie to give her a two-stroke lead again. Stanford stayed with Webb, though, as the other challengers fell back. Not to be outdone on the 14th, the American placed her tee shot even closer than Webbs — a mere inches — leading to birdie. She matched Webbs birdie again on the 16th, and both players closed the round with birdies on the 18th. If either veteran slips in the final round, however, Munoz and Lu are right behind them. Both players are looking for their second LPGA titles. Munoz captured her only tournament at the 2012 Sybase Match Play Championship, while Lu won hers at last years Mizuno Classic. Defending champion Stacy Lewis disappointing week, meanwhile, looks likely to end her streak of 13 consecutive top-10 finishes on the LPGA Tour. Lewis shot a 73 on Saturday, leaving her far down the leaderboard in joint-42nd place. Lewis, the reigning Womens British Open champion, is only three away from matching Webbs LPGA record of 16 consecutive top-10 finishes, set in 1998-99.

The Hawks only wanted to make up for the last loss in the streak — an overtime defeat in Miami last month. Paul Millsap scored 26 points and the Hawks overcame LeBron James 30 to beat the Heat 121-114 on Monday night, leaving Miami to bemoan its defensive woes. “To us, this was a get-back game,” said Atlantas Lou Williams, who had 12 points. “We felt we should have won the last one in Miami that we lost in overtime.” James blamed poor defence for Miamis fourth loss in its last six games. “We scored enough points to win, so obviously it was defence,” James said. “Especially in the first half.” The Hawks led 71-70 at halftime. DeMarre Carroll finished with 19 points and Pero Antic had 17 for the Hawks, who beat Miami for the first time since Jan 2, 2012. It was Atlantas first home win over the Heat since Nov. 18, 2009. The Hawks have been rebuilt under second-year general manager Danny Ferry and first-year coach Mike Budenholzer. Most Atlanta players said they had no idea the Hawks had gone so long without beating the Heat. “I never even knew that,” Millsap said, adding the Hawks were more motivated by Miamis back-to-back NBA championships. “Anytime you play Miami or any great team, you want to step up and play your best,” Millsap said. “I think thats what we did today.” Chris Bosh had 21 points for Miami, which was without Dwyane Wade for the second straight game. The Hawks set a season high for points in a half and points allowed by a Miami opponent in a half. The Heat trailed despite matching their season high for points in a half. It was only the second time in Miamis franchise history both teams had at least 70 points in a half. “I cant just pinpoint what it is,” James said of the defensive woes. “Its a little bit of everything. At some point weve got to figure it out. Its just not good basketball right now.” Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said the defensive problems were “all across the board, A through Z.” “There just wasnt a lot of pride on that side of the court tonight,” Spoelstra said. “We tried to win it on a shootout and then when our offence came up dry on the roaad toward the end, a couple missed shots and turnovers, we werent able to secure a win.dddddddddddd” The Hawks led 57-45 late in the first half and kept a 97-92 advantage entering the final period. Even so, Miami appeared bound for its eighth comeback from double-digit deficits of the season. With a large portion of the Atlanta crowd chanting “Lets go, Heat!” James sank a 3-pointer with 7:06 remaining for a 104-all tie. James made another jumper on Miamis next possession to give the Heat the lead. Carrolls 3-pointer for Atlanta tied it at 107. Miami took its last lead when Mario Chalmers, who had 17 points, made one of two free throws. The Hawks regrouped to lead 112-108 following two free throws by Millsap. The Hawks led 116-111 when a missed layup by Atlantas Shelvin Mack set up James three-point play to cut the lead to two points. Kyle Korver, who had 12 points, answered with a 3-pointer. James had a turnover on a bad pass and a missed 3-pointer on Miamis next two possessions. Wade, who missed his second straight game, said before the game there is “still a little soreness” in his knees. Some players on each team wore purple shoes on Martin Luther King Jr. Day in Kings hometown. Both teams and the officials wore “Dream Big” logos on their warm-up shirts. Kings daughter, Bernice King, delivered a brief message before the game. Korver hit a 3-pointer to open the second period, extending to 109 his NBA record of consecutive games with a 3. James was slow to return to his feet after he was hit in the back of his head by Korver, who was trying to block a shot with 3:18 remaining in the first half. Korver was called for a flagrant foul, but the call was overturned following a review. NOTES: The Heat and the Celtics each had 70 or more points in the second half on April 12, 1990, at Boston, the only other time Miami and its opponent each scored at least 70 points in a half. … Spoelstra said G Toney Douglas, acquired in a three-team trade on Wednesday, was working out in Miami. … Forward-centre Chris Andersen, who has missed the Heats past three games with a right knee contusion, returned with eight points. … C Greg Oden did not play. … Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, the former University of Georgia star, attended the game.

CHICAGO - Fred VanVleet scored 22 points on perfect shooting and No. 3 Wichita State beat Loyola of Chicago 88-74 on Wednesday night to remain the only unbeaten team in major college basketball. Wichita State and top-ranked Syracuse began the day as the last Division I schools with perfect records. But the Orange lost 62-59 to Boston College in overtime, and the Shockers used an 11-2 run early in the second half to help close out the Ramblers. Cleanthony Early scored 18 points as Wichita State became the 19th school to begin a season with 28 straight victories. VanVleet was 6 for 6 from the field and made each of his 10 free throws. The Shockers (28-0, 15-0) can clinch the Missouri Valley Conference title with a victory at home against Drake on Saturday night. Milton Doyle scored 18 points and Jeff White had 14 for Loyola (9-18, 4-11), which has lost three straight and six of seven. Devon Turk finished with 13 points. Boosted by a capacity crowd at cozy Gentile Arena, the Ramblers battled back each time the Shockers tried to pull away in their first visit to Loyolas campus on the north side of Chicago since a 79-77 win on Feb. 9, 1976. It was just the third visit by a top-5 team to the Ramblers current home, joining No. 2 Michigan State in 2000 and No. 5 Kansas State in 2010. But every time Wichita State got a little push from Loyola, it just went back to its versatile group of athletic big men. The Shockers had a 41-24 rebounding advantage and went 31 for 34 from the free throw line, compared to 11 of 14 for Loyola. Chadrack Lufile had consecutive three-point plays to help Wichita State open a 52-36 lead with 15:43 to go. When the Ramblers pulled within 11 with 5 1/2 minutes left, Early made two foul shots and a 3-pointer to reach 1,000 career points and run the advantage back out to 16. Darius Carter added 13 points for Wichita State, which can close out a perfect regular season with three more wins. After the visit by the Bulldogs, the Shockers travel to Bradley before returning home for a tricky little finale against Missouri State. Wichita State trailed the Bears by 18 at halftime on Jan. 11, then rallied for a 72-69 overtime win. Early made each of his first three shots and had eight points when he picked up his second foul with 8:24 left in the first half, sending the senior star to the bench. Wichita State extended its lead to 35-24 before the Ramblers began to take advantage of Earlys absence inside. White drove for a three-point play and Christian Thomas had a basket and free throw to help Loyola pull within five with 1:28 remaining. Carter responded with a strong layup on the other end and Matt OLeary missed two 3s for Loyola in the final 42 seconds, leaving the Shockers with a 39-32 lead at the break.

NEW YORK, N.Y. – The NFL may be on the hook for more money than it expected if a federal judge cant be convinced that its $765 million concussion settlement with more than 4,500 former players will be adequate to pay out benefits over the 65-year life of the agreement. The deal hit a snag Tuesday when a federal judge asked both parties to back up their assertions that the agreement negotiated over several months is appropriate. U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody denied a motion that was meant to serve as a preliminary approval for the settlement, seeking more information from the parties. She wrote that she was “primarily concerned that not all retired NFL football players who ultimately receive a qualifying diagnosis or their (families) … will be paid,” and that the lawyers for both parties have not addressed those concerns. Given the judges ruling, the two sides will need to offer more evidence the fund will be sufficient or possibly have the NFL add money to the pot. Otherwise, they may be left to start over. “We are confident that the settlement is fair and adequate, and look forward to demonstrating that to the court,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said. Meanwhile, former players looking to receive assistance for the injuries they sustained while playing in the league will have to wait to be compensated. The two sides agreed in late August, just before the season kicked off and the issue largely went to the back burner, awaiting Brodys decision. The weekly accounting of brain injuries on the field, despite efforts to reduce them, continued to make headlines. Brody pointed out that the class of approximately 20,000 could overwhelm the fund, even if only 10 per cent of its members file claims against the $675 million set aside to pay claims, working out to $337,500 per player. The maximum payments in the settlement include $5 million for a younger retiree with Lou Gehrigs disease, $3 million for serious dementia, and $25,000 for an 80-year-old with early dementia. Sol Weiss, a lead lawyer for the ex-players, remained confident the class-action settlement will ultimately be approved. “I am very confident that the (actuarial) people we used are right, and that there will be enough money to cover these claims for 65 years,” Weiss said. The remainder of the $765 settlement is being earmarked for neurological testing and education. Lawyers will be paid on top of that by the NFL, meaning the suit would cost the league $900 million — or about 10 per cent of one years annual revenues. Brody also took issue with another part of the original agreement, writing in a footnote that she was concerned that the agreement prevents participants from suing the NCAA and other amateur football organizations. “Im not sure why the NFL would insist on that,” said Gabe Feldman, a law professor who directs the sports law program at the Tulane University Law School. More than 4,500 former players filed the suit, some accusing the league of fraud for its handling of concussions. They include former Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Dorsett and Super Bowl-winning quarterback Jim McMahon, who suffers from dementia. Brodys hand-picked mediator, former federal judge Layn R. Phillips, led several months of negotiations last year and has called the deal fair to both sides. If and when the parties can satisfy all of Brodys concerns, she would then give preliminary approval to the settlement. Following that would be a hearing at which people with objections can speak and have their issues addressed before final settlement and payments. ___ Follow Rick Freeman at http://twitter.com/RWFreeman ___ Associated Press writers Barry Wilner and Maryclaire Dale contributed to this report.

McGinn and the Avs eye the eighth spot in a tight Western Conference as they aim for a sweep of their home-and-home set with the Minnesota Wild this evening. You can watch the game live on TSN2 and TSN Mobile TV at 9pm et/6pm pt. McGinns San Jose Sharks were holding on to one of the final postseason positions in the West a week ago when he was dealt to the Avalanche along with two prospects for T.J. Galiardi, Daniel Winnik and a seventh-round pick. The Avalanche were two off the pace of eighth place at the time of the deal, but now sit one point behind the Sharks for that position. Colorados 72 points are also tied with Los Angeles for ninth place. The Kings are visiting the Predators tonight, while the Sharks host the Oilers. McGinn posted the first two-goal game of his career in Sundays win over the Wild, supplying all the offense in a 2-0 victory. Both scores came off rebounds and were assisted by Peter Mueller and Stefan Elliott. Semyon Varlamov made 30 saves for his fourth shutout of the season and eighth of his career as Colorado snapped a two-game slide. “After dropping two, we knew we needed these points tonight to stay in the hunt (for the final playoff spot),” McGinn said. “Itll be an interesting race down the stretch here. We definitely want to make the playoffs.” Colorado played without another recent trade acquiisition in forward Steve Downie due to a shoulder issue.dddddddddddd. He is questionable for tonight, as is winger Chuck Kobasew due to a back injury. With regular starter Niklas Backstrom out 2-to-4 weeks with an upper-body injury and Josh Harding having been tagged for six goals in a 6-0 loss in Detroit on Friday, Matt Hackett made his sixth career appearance and second start, giving up both goals on 36 shots faced. He got no help from an offense that has been shut out three times over a four- game losing streak and now ranks last in the NHL with 137 goals, one fewer than the Kings. “It doesnt matter who youre playing, when your down two goals, its definitely tough to come back,” Wild defenseman Tom Gilbert said. “We moved the puck a lot better and had plenty of opportunities to score, but we just have to get that first one.” The Wild are 8-21-7 since they owned the best record in the league on Dec. 10 and now sit in a tie for 12th in the West, seven points behind the Sharks. Both forward Nick Palmieri and defenseman Clayton Stoner practiced on Monday and were expected to travel with the Wild to Colorado. Palmieri sat out the opener of the home-and-home with an upper-body injury, while Stoner hasnt played since sustaining an upper-body injury in a fight versus Colorado on Feb. 4. It is unknown if either player will suit up tonight for a Wild club that has used a franchise-record 44 players this season. Minnesota had won six of its previous seven versus the Avalanche prior to Sundays loss and aim for a fifth straight victory in Colorado tonight.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Paul George scored eight of his 36 points in overtime and the Indiana Pacers defeated the Sacramento Kings 116-111 on Friday night. The Pacers overcame a 17-point deficit and rallied in the fourth quarter to tie the game. Indiana outscored the Kings 13-8 in overtime to avoid a rare two-game losing streak. Marcus Thornton scored 42 points and hit seven 3-pointers for the Kings. Isaiah Thomas scored 38, tying a career high. The undermanned Kings played without injured leading scorers DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay. Lance Stephenson had 24 points, 10 rebounds and six assists for Indiana. David West had 22 points and both Roy Hibbert and George Hill scored 10. In overtime, West made a 3 and George dunked after a steal, putting Indiana up 110-106. George later added a corner jumper for a 114-111 lead. George stole the ball from Thomas with 12 seconds left and was fouled. George made two free throws for a 116-111 lead. George made a 3 and was fouled by Derrick Williams with 15 seconds left in regulation. George made the free throw for the four-point play, tying the game at 103. Thomas missed a jumper in the closing seconds, sending the game into overtime. Cousins sprained his left ankle in second quarter in Wednesdays game in Houston and Gay went out in the opening quarter with an injury Achilles tendon. Both players are day-to-day. The Pacers, who trailed by as much as 17 points, hardly resembled the NBAs top defensive team in the opening half, allowing 60 points. Indiana entered the game having allowed fewer than 100 points in only seven of 41 games, including 11 games of 80 points or less. After the Pacers cut the lead to a basket, Thomas followed with a 3 and two free throws and Thornton dropped in a short jumper, putting the Kings ahead 93-86 midway through the third quarter. Thornton, who has struggled all season offensively and entered the game shooting 36 per cent, scored 22 points in an amazing first quarter. Thornton made 9-of-12 shots, including four 3-pointers in scoring the most points in a quarter this year for the Kings. Thornton exceeded his season-high of 24 points late in the second quarter. On the Kings recent six-game road trip, Thornton had a 24 total points and shot 29 per cent. In his last nine games as a starter Thornton had failed to score in double figures. Hill scored 10 points and George had eight in the third quarter when the Pacers cut the Kings 10-point lead at intermission in half, pulling to within 84-79 entering the fourth. Thornton had 11 points in the third, but the Kings shot 31 per cent. Thornton had 26 points for the Kings, who surprisingly dominated the first half and led 60-50.

CHICAGO – Mike Scioscia could sense the opener of the Los Angeles Angels series against the Chicago White Sox would be affected by the storm in the area Monday night. “Im sure were gonna be dealing with some rain at some point,” Scioscia said about two hours before the scheduled first pitch. "Whether it impacts the game, I dont know. “I dont know if you ever know in Chicago, do you?” The game was postponed because of rain and rescheduled as part of a traditional doubleheader on Tuesday starting at 4:10 p.m. Angels right-hander Garrett Richards (8-2, 2.76) and Chicagos Hector Noesi (2-4, 4.18) — the scheduled starters Monday — will pitch Game 1, with Los Angeles Jered Weaver (8-6, 3.33) and Scott Carroll (2-4, 4.76) pitching the nightcap. The Angels had been undecided for the series finale on Wednesday, but named left-hander Tyler Skaggs (4-4, 4.34) to pitch that game following the postponement. Skaggs currently is on the disabled list since June 10 with a strained right hamstring. The White Sox will start left-hander John Danks (7-6, 4.26). With the addition of Skaggs, the Angels would have six starters, but Scioscia declined to say what move would be made from there. “Skaggs on Wednesday, and well let you know the rest,” he said. “Well get through tomorrow and see where we are.” The White Sox thought there would be a window to play Mondays game though the storm was expected to hit the ballpark around game time. It wasnt raining at 7:10, the time of the scheduled first pitch, but the rain began a few minutes later. The game surprisingly was called after just a 20-minute delay because the forecast changed and the rain was supposed to last longer. The extra time off was probably welcome for Albert Pujols, who is dealing with a groin injury, but was in the lineup Monday at first base. “He feels good,” Scioscia said of Pujols. "Its not really anything thats muscular or anything were worried about being a pull. Its really just something . the way it was described our medical staff, its more of a lymph node or just a little infection that got a little irritated. “It shouldnt be anything thats gonna impact what he needs to do.” Pujols was in Monday nights starting lineup set to hit third and play first base. NOTES: White Sox 1B Jose Abreu, tied for the MLB lead in homers with 25, has found himself at the centre of Home Run Derby speculation, but the rookie slugger remained mysterious on his possible participation. “Im more concentrated on helping the team right now,” he said. … RHP Fernando Salas (shoulder) threw 25 pitches during a bullpen session Sunday and could be activated as early as Wednesday. “Hes gonna throw a bullpen (Tuesday) and then be evaluated,” Scioscia said. “He felt really good after his pen on Sunday.” … Asked before the game whether RHP Jason Grilli, acquired from Pittsburgh on Friday, would be his new closer, Scioscia said: “Well keep Joe Smith there until we get everything sorted out. Jason will be part of our back end and well see.” [url=http://www.cheapnfljerseyschinaplay.com/]cheap nfl jerseys[/url] . The stadium gasped. Reliever Drew Storen, already with men on first and second with none out in the seventh inning of a tie game, was on the ropes. Then Storen threw Stanton a slider. Swing and a miss. Strike three.

Its obvious Maurice Mann is no fan of feel-good movies. The script had been followed to the letter. After a successful career in the CFL, Mann won the 100th Grey Cup at home in his final game, then walked off the field for the final time as a champion. With a plot twist worthy of The Usual Suspects, the 32-year old receiver has decided to re-shoot the final scene and return to action. Hell suit up for the Toronto Argonauts Saturday night in Regina for a game against the Roughriders. How did this happen? It started out when the receiver was spotted by the staff at recent Argo home games. “They saw me at a few of the games and said Mo, you look good, you look to be in shape” Mann told TSN 1050. “I said I am in shape, coach. So when the injury bug hit, I was there and sent an e-mail or two.” Head coach Scott Milanovich says it was general manager Jim Barkers brainwave to bring back the six-year veteran. “It was Jims idea a couple of weeks ago when we started having injuries,” Milanovich told TSN 1050. “It made a lot of sense to me and you almost question yourself why hasnt Mo been around? Hes been great, you just hope he can keep his wind up. Hes been staying in great shape and I expect hell play well.” The coach is happy with what hes seen at practice. “He looks good,” continued Milanovich. “It looks like he hasnt missed a beat. He looks like hes been through training camp and hes running well, hes catching the ball well. Weve been moving him around position-wise trying to fit him in where we may need the help and thats probably been the challenge for him, is having us give him a definitive position that hes going to be in.” Mann is listed on the depth chart as the x position, or the wide receiver on the boundary side. He has moved around during the week and will likely move inside on occasion. John Chiles, who is usually in that spot, made the trip, but is a game-time decision with a leg injury. If Chiles cant go, hell join Chad Owens, Jason Barnes and Andre Durie on the sidelines, meaning the Argos would be down four quality starting receivers. Perhaps the best person to ask about the progress of Mann is quarterback Ricky Ray, who played with the receiver not only during the Grey Cup run in Toronto, but for three seasons in Edmonton. “Weve had the injury bug, its nice to have a guy youre familiar with coming back into the lineup,” said Ray. “The good thing is that he has a good basis for the terminology in the offence that were doing and obviously, we have a lot of game experience together, so for me, I feel pretty comfortable with having him out there and we have a lot of past experiences to build off of.” Mann is comfortable with the offence and the terminology, but admits a lot has changed in the last year and four games. “Scott (Milanovich) is a mad scientist,” joked the receiver. “Even though Marcus (offensive coordinator Marcus Brady) is running it, theres a lot of new things in terms of the offence, but its pretty similar and Im pretty comfortable already because I have a great teacher in (receivers coach) Jason Maas, who is keeping me seven hours after practice to learn everything possible about what I need to see, and where I have to be.” Seeing Mann in double blue will evoke memories of the Argos 31-26 win over the Riders in Regina in 2012, the game most point to as the turning point in their championship season. On that day, the Seaside, California native hauled in seven passes for 101 yards and a touchdown. Repeating those numbers would be a long shot at best, but with his return to the lineup, Mann has demonstrated that nothing is impossible.

EDMONTON — After yet another disappointing season, the Edmonton Oilers were hoping to give their fans something to cheer about in their final home game. Ryan Getzlaf spoiled those plans. Getzlaf scored in overtime as the Anaheim Ducks defeated the Oilers 3-2 on Thursday. An Edmonton shot caromed off the boards with a pair of defenders up on the play and came all the way down the ice for a Getzlaf breakaway, as he beat Edmonton goalie Devan Dubnyk through the legs 1:12 into extra time. Andrew Cogliano and Bobby Ryan also scored for the Ducks (34-35-12) who ended a three-game winless streak and moved up to 23rd in the NHL with one game to play this season. “It was actually a pretty bad game for us,” Cogliano said. “The first period, we were badly out-shot. It was ugly, but we found a way to win. Thats good because you want to finish the year off well and have something to look forward to next year.” Ducks goalie Jeff Deslauriers was pleased to make 24 stops to pick up the win in his first start against the team which originally drafted him. “I was pretty happy to get this start against Edmonton,” he said. “It was great to get the win here.” Sam Gagner and Jordan Eberle responded for the Oilers (32-39-10), who sit second-last in the NHL and finished off the year a 18-17-6 on home ice this season. “At the end of the day we had a winning record at home this season, which is a positive,” Eberle said, comparing their home record to a 13-22-6 campaign at Rexall Place in 2010-11. “Obviously we had some games here that would like to take back. I thought we started the season well at home and finished it fairly well. We just need to get that consistency. In order to be a contender next year and in years to follow, that consistency will be important.” Oilers head coach Tom Renney said the breakdown on the overtime goal is exactly the kind of thing the team needs to eliminate next season. “Until we get deeper and have more firepower and some different ways to win, we are going to have to play smart, really intelligent hockey that doesnt give the opponent too much and gives us a chance to sting you with a quick strike,” he said. “Well get there and it will be fun to watch when we do. But you arent going to win in this game if you dont defend properly and pay attention to detail.” Anaheim had a great chance four minutes in as it looked like Ryan was going to have a clear breakaway, but Dubnyk hustled way out of the net to make a diving play to strip him of the puck. Edmontons best chance in the scoreless first period came halfway through as Gagner dropped a pass back to Eric Belanger, but he shot a puck wide of the open net. Edmonton had 11 shots on Ducks goalie Jeff Deslauriers, while Anaheim only had two shots on Dubnyk through 20 minutes. The Oilers finally broke the scoreless deadlock midway through the second period. Jeff Petrys shot rang off the post but came back to Gagner, who scored his 18th of the season past a flailing Deslauriers. The Ducks came roaring back with two quick goals late in the second period to surge ahead 2-1. With three minutes to play in the middle period, Cogliano came off the boards and sent a quick snap shot from the right faceoff dot past Dubnyk. Just 36 seconds later, Ryan came away with a loose puck on the doorstep and lifted it over the Oilers starter for his 29th goal of the season. Edmonton battled back to tie the game with six minutes remaining in the third period. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins fed a pass to Eberle and he deked out Deslauriers before flipping in a backhander for his 34th of the year, eventually sending the game to extra time. Both teams conclude their seasons on Saturday as the Oilers travel to Vancouver to play the Canucks and the Ducks are in Calgary. Notes: It was the final of four meetings between the two teams and second in a five-day span. The Ducks won the first two before Edmonton cam away with a 2-1 win on Sunday in Anaheim… The Oilers and Ducks have both long been out of the playoff picture this season. Edmonton will miss the playoffs for the sixth straight year since losing out in Game 7 of the 2006 Stanley Cup finals. Anaheim will miss the post-season for the second time in the last three years… The Oilers came into the game struggling to score with four goals in their last four games and less than 20 shots in each of their last three (14, 15 and 19)… Ducks F Teemu Selanne has been a bane to the Oilers in recent years. Selanne, 41, entered the game with seven goals and seven assists during a nine-game point streak against Edmonton… The Ducks were missing D Nate Guenin (face), and G Dan Ellis (groin), out since January… Petry returned from taking a puck to the face two games previous.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — With hundreds of pictures and mementos on display honouring Buffalo Bills late owner Ralph Wilson, Bruce Smith couldnt resist bringing one more on Saturday. The Hall of Fame defensive end pulled out a photo taken the day he signed his rookie contract in 1985. The picture showed Wilson with his hands across his face as if he were praying. “He has that worried look on his face, like, Lord knows, I hope Im not wasting this draft pick on this chubby kid from Norfolk, Va.,” Smith said, laughing. “I thought it would be befitting I brought this, and showed some of the players. And they got a big laugh out of it.” “That,” said Smith, who became the NFLs career leader in sacks, “is one of my special memories.” There were many during a public remembrance celebrating the 95-year-old Hall of Fame owners life. With Frank Sinatra — Wilsons favourite — playing over the loudspeakers, and an array of photos, trophies and souvenirs spread throughout the teams practice facility, former and current players, employees and thousands of fans paid their respects to the teams founder, who died at his home in Grosse Pointe Shores, Mich., on March 25. “The Bills are more than just a football team. Theyre family,” said Matt Guarino, a 20-year season-ticket holder. “So we came to pay our respects just like we would any friend and any family member.” The remembrance took place a week after a private funeral service was held in Detroit. The mood on Saturday was festive. Under grey cloudy skies and with a cold brisk wind blowing off nearby Lake Erie, a long line of fans snaked into the parking lot once the doors opened. Many wore team jerseys and posed for pictures in front of the Wilson memorabilia. The displays circled the fieldhouse, and featured many significant moments of Wilsons life: From childhood pictures to the medals he earned serving in the Navy during World War II, and photos of Wilson with his fellow American Football League founding owners. There was a painting of Wilson watching the Bills 1993 Super Bowl loss. The franchises two AFL championship trophies were displayed, as was Wilsons Pro Football Hall of Fame bust and gold jacket. In thhe middle of the field, the Bills recreated the layout of Wilsons office.dddddddddddd There was a team helmet on the coffee table, press releases on his desk, as well as a picture of him and his wife Mary. And Mary Wilson was on hand. Standing near a guestbook area, she greeted fans, shared stories, signed autographs and posed for pictures. “He was a great sportsman,” Wilson told one fan. “He loved competition. And thats why we got along so well. I was like that, too.” In a statement released by the team, she thanked people “for their tremendous outpouring of love for Ralph.” “Before he passed, he told me that he wanted people to celebrate his life after he was gone. He wasnt big on tears,” she said. “Ralph most likely would have offered a funny quip about todays event. But at the same time, he would have been profoundly touched by the fans outpouring of emotion.” Mary Wilson has taken over as the Bills controlling owner, a role she will maintain until the franchise is sold. Ralph Wilson expressed no interest of leaving the team to his surviving family members. The sale could take place within a year, opening the possibility the Bills could relocate. “Keeping this team here meant a lot to me,” said Rich Izydorczak, whos had season tickets for 41 years. “And I hope it stays this way for a long time to come.” Kathleen Hubbard, a Bills cheerleader in the early 1970s, brought a picture of Wilson posing with her and other cheerleaders on the field. A business not far from the stadium flashed the message, “You will be missed Ralph Wilson Jr.,” on its electronic sign. Former Bills tight end Kevin Everett, in Buffalo for another event, made sure to show up to honour Wilson. Everett has recovered since being nearly paralyzed after sustaining a severe neck injury during the 2007 season opener. Part of his recovery was aided by the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, a foundation which Wilson supported with a $1 million donation before Everett was hurt. “I thank God for his work that everything paid off to help benefit one of his players,” Everett said. “He has a big heart. I thank God for what he did.” [url=http://www.cheapnfljerseys2015.us.com/]cheap nfl jerseys[/url] ’ ’ ’

BOSTON — Right-hander Andrew Bailey and outfielder Ryan Kalish were cut loose by the Boston Red Sox, who failed to offer 2014 contracts by Monday nights deadline. The 29-year-old Bailey was 3-1 with a 3.77 ERA and eight saves in 13 chances for the World Series champions, making 30 appearances before season-ending shoulder surgery on July 24. He was limited to 19 games in 2012, the first season after the Red Sox acquired him from Oakland. Bailey made $4.1 million, and by letting him go free the Red Sox could sign him without the 20 per cent maximum cut rule applying. The 25-year-old Kalish missed the entire season due to a right shoulder operation in January and cervical fusion surgery in August. He hit .243 with four homers, 29 RBIs and 13 steals for the Red Sox in 2010 and 2012. Among those offered contracts were right-handers Burke Badenhop and Junichi Tazawa; first baseman-outfielder Mike Carp; and left-handers Andrew Miller and Franklin Morales.

LAS VEGAS — Sports fans bet a record $119.4 million at Nevada casinos on the Super Bowl. The Gaming Control Board says unaudited tallies show sports books made $19.7 million on the action. The Denver Broncos started out as a 2.5-point favourite but the Seattle Seahawks won 43-8. Odds makers say Peyton Manning fans drove the unprecedented handle, flooding Las Vegas and northern Nevada with wagers on the favoured team and its veteran quarterback. Many believed Manning wanted the win more than any other player, and might retire after the game. The previous Nevada record was set last year, when gamblers wagered $98.9 million. Some casinos say they lost out on proposition bets, including whether a safety would be the first score of the game. [url=http://www.cheapnfljerseyschinaplay.com/]wholesale nfl jerseys[/url] . LUCIE, Fla.

[url=http://www.cheapnfljerseyschinaplay.com/]cheap jerseys from china[/url] . — Dwight Howard vs.ST. LOUIS — Almost always, Mike Matheny keeps his cool. Thats what you might notice at first about Tony La Russas successor as St. Louis Cardinals manager, the inner fire without the bombast. Its what you see right now in the glare of October, when the moves pay off big time or fail miserably, and are endlessly dissected either way. Theres a difference in style, but winning is a given. La Russa managed 2,728 regular-season wins in 33 seasons and trails only Connie Mack and John McGraw. He became the first manager to retire a winner after guiding a heavy underdog to the 2011 title, and is sure the Cardinals got the right guy. “Im in no position to compare,” La Russa said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I just know that he was always an impressive leader type. “I definitely know he has the ability. I think hes already made his mark.” Make no mistake, theres plenty of fire. In Game 4, Matheny took umpires to task over perceived shortcomings. Though every question gets a measured response, sometimes after tough losses the microphone picks up the sound of fingers impatiently tapping away on the lectern. The manager declined to take it easy on Kolten Wong after the rookie was cut down in Game 4 for the first game-ending pickoff in World Series history, pointing out he knew about Koji Ueharas move. “He was reminded once he got on base, and also he was reminded that run didnt mean much, be careful, shorten up,” Matheny said. Mathenys playing career as a light-hitting, strong fielding catcher peaked when he played for La Russa and won four Gold Gloves in five seasons. His steady field leadership made an impression, and his resume jumped to the top of the pile for St. Louis without a single game of managing experience. Players climbed aboard right away. Pitcher Adam Wainwright credits not just La Russa, but also 90-year-old Hall of Famer Red Schoendienst, who managed the Cardinals to a World Series victory over the Red Sox in 1967 and remains active as a special assistant to general manager John Mozeliak. “The perfect torch there,” Wainwright said from the podium earlier in the post-season. “A guy who was a great leader and a great motivator of men, and a guy whos learned from the best in my opinion.” The Cardinals were expected to fade a bit last year with a rookie manager who didnt have Albert Pujolss big bat for the lineup.dddddddddddd. They took advantage of the second NL wild card and rallied on the road to knock off the Braves and Nationals before running out of gas in the NL championship series when they squandered a 3-1 lead against the Giants. Matheny is part of a new breed of manager, a group including Boston counterpart John Farrell, Kirk Gibson in Arizona and White Sox manager Robin Ventura, that didnt require minor league trial and error seasoning. Last fall, San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy thought the Cardinals had the same fire and added, “I wish I could tell you theres a difference.” “If you played the game for as long as he did, you know how the game is going to be run,” St. Louis slugger Carlos Beltran said. "You know the players dictate how the game goes and as manager you know youre going to have two or three opportunities to make a change. “But there are a lot of things you have to do to put your team in position.” In Year 2, Matheny has gotten the most out of a roster that by necessity has leaned heavily on rookies. St. Louis is close to making it two titles in three seasons with not just different managers but vastly different casts, too. Rookies combined for a major league-high 36 wins and have provided five more in the post-season, four by Michael Wacha. All the high leverage spots in the bullpen are manned by rookies. Matheny is probably more of a players manager than La Russa, but both can be fiercely loyal. The Cardinals are carrying Edward Mujica, who had 35 saves before fading badly in September and losing the closer job to rookie Trevor Rosenthal, perhaps as a reward for what hes done. Rookie Shelby Miller also seems to be around because of his role in the season-long success. The 15-game winner was in the rotation from the start and the team is giving him the quasi-Stephen Strasburg treatment, using him for just one inning entering Game 5. Matheny came under fire for pitching decisions in Game 4 of the World Series, and seemed to arrive for Game 5 with a clean slate. “La Russa is a Hall of Fame manager, and I think a lot of us wanted Mike,” third baseman David Freese said. “There were a ton of us who were friends with Mike and we knew what type of guy he was.” “Hes extremely close to his family and I think were his second family.” [url=http://www.cheapnfljerseys2015.us.com/]cheap nfl jerseys[/url] ’ ’ ’

SAN FRANCISCO — An attorney for Miami Marlins ace Jose Fernandez said a sharp grounder that struck the right-hander in the thigh before his final start caused him to change his throwing motion and may have contributed to him needing season-ending elbow surgery. Tampa-based attorney Ralph Fernandez explained the timeline for the pitchers injury in a lengthy statement to Miami media on Friday. He said the reigning NL Rookie of the Year had to alter his delivery after getting hit on the back of the left leg by a sharp grounder off the bat of Dee Gordon in the Marlins 5-4 win over Los Angeles on May 4 in Miami. Fernandez pitched five innings at San Diego on May 9 in his last start before the Marlins announced he would need Tommy John elbow ligament replacement surgery, which he had Friday in Los Angeles. “Jose did not have a pre-existing condition,” Ralph Fernandez wrote in a statement. "While pitching during the recent Dodgers game in Miami he was struck by a ball on his rear thigh. This prompted a completely unanticipated change in delivery which neither the staff nor his coaches could discern. “After the game we spoke as we always do. Jose was concerned about his arm. Despite many exchanges on the subject in the days that followed he felt that with the Marlins regaining first place in the division he could not let his team down. Apparently the injury was worse than he believed. In San Diego in the third ending he suffered a traumatic event, tossed a couple of more innings and the rest is history.” Marlins manager Mike Redmond said before the Marlins played the San Francisco Giants on Friday night that nobody on the team knew of Fernandezs injury until his start in San Diego. “I just think if it was bothering him, then he should have said something and we wouldve obviously shut him down and taken those precautions,” Redmond said. “As soon as we found out that he had a sore arm, we shut him down and got an MRI and got everything looked at and got the information that we needed.” Redmond also refuted that Fernandez changed his delivery after getting hit in the thigh against the Dodgers. “He looked the same to me in that game after that,” Redmond said. Marlins president Michael Hill said in a statement that Fernandezs surgery went well. He said Fernandez would return to Miami and immediately begin his rehabilitation program. Attorney Ralph Fernandez said in his statement that he, the Marlins, the pitcher and his agent, Scott Boras, all agree that surgery was the proper course of action. Typical recovery time is 12 to 18 months. The 21-year-old Fernandez was put on the disabled list earlier this week, becoming the latest in a string of major league pitchers this year who have needed Tommy John surgery. Fernandez finished 4-2 with a 2.44 ERA in eight starts this season. Fernandez made 28 starts last year, going 12-6 with a major league-best .182 opponents batting average. His 2.19 ERA was second in the majors behind three-time defending ERA champ Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers. Fernandez struck out 187 in 172 2-3 innings.

In the college game the head coach is like a CEO of a major company who oversees his program and deals with recruiting, scheduling, budgets, academics, fundraising, alumni relations, public and media relations, speaking, mentoring and the spotlight of being a major public figure. On the traditional college campus the basketball coach along with the president and the football and/or baseball or hockey coach are the most recognizable and significant figures when it comes to publicity and fundraising. These four Final Four coaches not only can coach/recruit/lead but they are wonderful ambassadors for their schools. Here is a quick thought on each guy. 1. BO RYAN (Wisconsin): Teams are always really sound on both sides of the Ball. Gets great effort out of his guys. Crisp ball movement on offence with great role definition and ultra stingy defence. They protect the paint beautifully. Sound in all areas. 2 KEVIN OLLIE (UCONN): Thrilled for him. Jim Calhoun really wanted him to have this job and he has delivered. After being unable to play in the tournament last year hes gotten his team to grow and mature from the challenges of last season and improvve to the point of being an elite team.ddddddddddddTakes a special guy to replace a legend and get the program on track and hes done it wonderfully. Team is tenacious in its effort and they really feed off of his energy. They are organized and smartly play to their strength – their guards. 3. JOHN CALIPARI (Kentucky): This guy gets a bad rap. Yes he can really recruit but hes a terrific teacher, motivator, tactician and leader. Ive known John for over 30 years and have seen him rise from being a graduate assistant at Kansas to now. Awesome jobs done at UMass, Memphis and now with the Wildcats. Brought this talented young group along with tough love and a velvet touch as well. Its all about getting your team to peak at the right time and hes been masterful at that throughout his fine career. 4. BILLY DONOVAN (Florida): Attention to detail and innovative. Adapts well to his teams talent and skill level. Two NCAA championships already and this current group of experienced players are close knit due to his vision. His defensive schemes are sound and disruptive to opponents. His offence is guard oriented and they dont beat themselves. Has made the Florida job (at a football school) one of the elite basketball jobs in college hoops due to his sustained success.

WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Blue Bombers hired Gary Crowton as their new offensive co-ordinator Monday. Crowton takes over for Jamie Barresi, who was fired following the Blue Bombers 34-23 loss to the B.C. Lions in the Grey Cup. “(Crowtons) experiences in the spread offence are very similar to type of offences that are prevalent in the CFL,” Bombers head coach Paul LaPolice said in a statement. “He will be a great teacher for our players and his expertise at the NCAA level will be especially valuable for our younger roster.” The 54-year-old Crowton spent last season as the offensive co-ordinator at the University of Maryland. He joined the Terrapins after four seasons as the offensive co-ordinator at LSU, helping the school capture the 2007 NCAA title. Crowton has no previous CFL coaching experience but did serve as the Chicago Bears offensive co-ordinator in 1999-2000. [url=http://www.wholesalejerseysdeals.com/]nfl jerseys china[/url] .

The victory kept Tottenham in touch with the Champions League places, with the London club six points behind fourth-placed Arsenal.The Indiana Pacers drew even in their Eastern Conference semifinal series with the Washington Wizards last time out, but the action shifts to our nations capital Friday night for Game 3. Watch the game on TSN2 and TSN GO at 8pm et/5pm pt. Friday will mark the first second-round playoff game in Washington since 2005. That year, the Wizards were swept by the Miami Heat in the semis, but that wont happen this time around. The Wiz won Game 1 on Monday, but the Pacers clawed back into the series with an 86-82 home victory on Wednesday. Indiana was carried by the unlikeliest of players in Game 2. Roy Hibbert, who scored zero points and grabbed zero rebounds in Game 1s loss, scored 28 points and grab nine rebounds on Wednesday. Hibbert went scoreless three times this postseason and put up donuts in both categories twice, but the All-Star took his mind off things and dominated the Wizards. “Sometimes I wear my heart on my sleeve and other times I just keep things in,” admitted Hibbert. “Tonight, I just felt like I just had one thing on my mind: to help this team win. My teammates did a great job of getting me the ball in my sweet spot and believing in me. I just wanted to return the favor.” Head coach Frank Vogel acknowledged he didnt call any plays for Hibbert, but the big man was active from the jump. He scored the games first five points and totaled 17 in the first half. “Im sure he didnt like the way he played the other night,” said Vogel. “Im sure he didnt like the criticism. Thats the remarkable thing. You play with a certain amount of force and the ball finds you.” Another factor that may have freed up Hibbert was the teams announcement that Andrew Bynum, who was signed as a backup in February,, would not appear in a game this postseason and that his tenure with the Pacers was over.dddddddddddd Some reports indicated Hibbert wasnt pleased with the Bynum signing. George Hill finished with 14 points, followed by 12 from Lance Stephenson and 11 out of Paul George. Marcin Gortat had 21 points to lead the Wizards, Bradley Beal added 17 and Nene scored 14 despite rolling his left ankle in the first quarter. All-Star guard John Wall and Trevor Ariza, who scored 22 in Game 1, combined for 12 points in Game 2. Hibberts magical return to form meant a lot for the Pacers, but Game 2 was tightly contested until late in the fourth quarter. Gortat scored with 3:23 to go to get the Wiz within one, but Washington couldnt buy a bucket after that. The Wizards didnt score again until 11 seconds remained in the game and Indiana did enough to knot the series. “End of the day, we played a pretty good game,” said Gortat. “We didnt shoot the ball well, especially from the 3-point line. Weve just got to play better.” Playoff basketball returned to Washington for the first time since 2008 and this season is the third time since 1982 the Wizards advanced out of the first round. “I hope that when we get back to D.C. were going to see the crowd ready at least 30 minutes before the game,” said Gortat. “We need them. I hope they come early and were going to try and bring it.” The Wizards went 1-1 at the Verizon Center against the Chicago Bulls in round one. Washington has won two in a row over the Pacers as the host, but Indiana won four straight prior to that. “This is playoff basketball. You cant lose at home,” noted Gortat. Game 4 will be Sunday night in Washington. [url=http://www.cheapnfljerseys2015.us.com/]cheap nfl jerseys[/url] ’ ’ ’
