Schalk Burger has arrived at Saracens for possibly the final chapter of a celebrated career that he believes has been extended by his brush with death. Wholesale Jerseys NZ .The South Africa back row great spent over 18 months out of the game when a minor back operation designed to relieve a calf condition caused a chain of events that resulted in him contracting bacterial meningitis.Fears for his life eventually eased and following weeks spent convalescing in hospital and at home, he made his comeback in 2013.I suppose what happened makes me relish the moment, the 2007 World Cup winner, who will start Saturdays Aviva Premiership opener against Worcester, said.I was out of rugby for almost two years and by that stage, at 30-years-old, youve played a lot of rugby because you cant get away from it.Being able -- not through nice stuff -- to get away gives you a new lease of life. All you want to do is play the game.You get time to reflect and in hindsight it has extended my career. But I never want to go through anything like that again. It was horrific.Knowing his dual contract with the Western Stormers and Suntory Sungoliaths would expire in the summer, Burger signed a two-year deal at double winners Saracens in the belief it would satisfy his competitive urge while offering a new experience.There are two schools of thought. Some people like to slow down and doing Japan only would have been an option, but I wanted to challenge myself a bit more, the 86-cap veteran said.You realise youve only got x number of games left, so you want to play in what is one of the better competitions in the world in England and Europe.The competitive fire has always been there so as you get older the game is the part that stands out for it. The biggest challenge is recovery.I played international rugby up to last autumns World Cup and then did Super Rugby and went decently there too, so Im quietly confident that Ill go well.I want to challenge myself. I dont want to slow down. If I had wanted to slow down Id have gone somewhere else. I cant wait to get out there. Clearance Jerseys New Zeland .Y. -- Sabres forward Drew Stafford has witnessed plenty of turmoil during his eight seasons in Buffalo. Wholesale Jerseys New Zeland Store . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night. http://www.cheapjerseysnz.com/ . - The Washington Redskins have cut defensive lineman Adam Carriker and punter Sav Rocca.BETHESDA, Md. -- Bill Haas made the long walk across a makeshift bridge and under the grandstands to the 18th green for the trophy presentation, high-fiving kids along the railing and raising his cap to thousands of fans who cheered as they saw him coming. His victory Sunday in the AT&T National was even sweeter when he compared it with all the times he failed. "As many times as Ive choked and hit bad shots and Ive been nervous and it hasnt worked out -- I was feeling all those things today -- and to hit good, quality golf shots down the stretch is such a good feeling," Haas said. "I wish I could explain it. Its amazing." His golf spoke volumes. Haas pulled away from a crowd of contenders with three straight birdies, two good pars and one good hop. It led to a 5-under 66, giving him a three-shot win at Congressional over Roberto Castro and putting him into distinguished company on two levels. Haas has won at least one PGA Tour event in each of the last four years, joining Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Justin Rose. And he kept the pedigree of champions at the AT&T National on a day when a half-dozen players were trying to win their first PGA Tour event. In the seven-year history of the tournament, Rose was the lowest-ranked player to win. He was No. 35 when he won at Aronimink in 2010. Haas started the week at No. 29. Haas is honest to fault, which explains why he is too hard on himself. He talked about how he "threw up on myself" at Riviera when he lost a three-shot lead in the final round, and he twice used the word "choke" in describing past failures. "Thats terrible to say that I choke and I throw up on myself, but Im just honest that I did that," he said. "But go from there. How do you get better? Dont do it again, you know? Thats my best statement. Just dont do that again. Today, I didnt do it. I think it makes it that much sweeter, too, when you can remember the times you stunk." He made only one bogey, making good on his pledge Saturday to clean up his card after a third round that included a triple bogey on the 11th hole. As many as six players had a share of the lead at some point until Haas rolled in a 10-foot birdie putt on No. 8. Worried about a splotch of mud on his ball, he hit his approach to just inside 12 feet for birdie on the par-5 ninth, and then hit a 5-iron to 10 feet for another birdie on the 10th. Haas led by at least two shots the entire back nine, though he never allowed himself to think about winning until he stood over a 3-foot par putt on the 18th hole and realized he had three putts to win. "I just kept the ball in front of me," Haas said. "Nothing too crazy." The 31-year-old won for the fifth time in his career, and this was the first one with Tiger Woods on the property -- not to play, but to hand out the trophy. Woods sat out this week with an elbow injury and wont play again until the British Open, though he was impressed with what he saw. "He played beautifully today," Woods said. "He handled his business through the tougher stretch of holes and pulled awaay. Cheap Jerseys New Zeland Online. ." Castro, part of a four-way tie for the lead at the start of the final round, made Haas work for it. "He didnt make any mistakes, and the birdies on 9 and 10 were big," Castro said after his 69. The other leaders fell away. Andres Romero had a double bogey on the fourth hole and shot 75. James Driscoll didnt make a birdie in his round of 74. Jordan Spieth, the 19-year-old from Texas who needs a win to become a PGA Tour member and be eligible for the FedEx Cup playoffs, started his day by holing out from a fairway bunker for eagle and chipping in for birdie to tie for the lead. He dropped a shot at No. 11 -- the hardest hole at Congressional -- about the time Haas was on his critical run of birdies. Spieth had a 69 and finished sixth, pushing his earnings for the year over $1.1 million. Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., closed with a 69, and finished eight shots back at 280. David Hearn of Brantford., Ont had a 71, to finish at 286. Ottawas Brad Fritsch had a 74, to wind up at 292. Castro bogeyed the opening hole, and that was his only mistake. He was one shot out of the lead at the turn, couldnt match birdies with Haas at the par-3 10th, and then stuck with him the rest of the day. "It helped that Roberto played so well," Haas said. Haas, who finished on 12-under 272, never allowed himself to think about winning, even after he seized control around the turn. Congressional wouldnt let him. Even though he made 15 birdies on the weekend, he remembered the triple bogey on the 11th hole Saturday that temporarily derailed him. This time, he found the fairway, hit onto the green, took two putts for par and exhaled. Haas saved par from a bunker on the par-3 13th with a 6-foot putt that swirled 360 degrees around the cup before falling, and then picked up an unlikely birdie on the 14th when his 9-iron was drifting toward a mound covered with shaggy rough to the right of the green. It hopped off the mound to about 10 feet, and he went from a possible bogey to a birdie when he made the putt. He made one more birdie with a wedge that checked up a foot from hole on the par-5 16th, and Haas was on his way. The biggest struggle after that was hoisting the silver trophy of the U.S. Capitol over his head in the stifling heat of the closing ceremony on the 18th green. Haas was still smarting over losing a three-shot lead in the final round at Riviera, making five bogeys in a seven-hole stretch in the middle of his round. He had the 36-hole lead at the Memorial until a 76-71 weekend. He was solid on Sunday at Congressional, and the win moved him to No. 7 in the FedEx Cup standings with the playoffs about two months away. Thats important to Haas, who won the FedEx Cup in 2011 and failed to qualify for the Tour Championship last year. D.H. Lee made nine birdies to match a tournament-best 64 and tied for third with Jason Kokrak, who briefly shared the lead on the front nine and had a 69. Stewart Cink closed with a 67 and finished alone in fifth, his best finish on the PGA Tour in stroke play since he won the British Open four years ago at Turnberry.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Jeff Gordon always expected to be at this weekends Brickyard 400. Cheap Ultra Boost 2018 .The tricky part was figuring out his role.One week after Gordon asked his publicist to delay a long-planned announcement that he would drive the pace car before a race he won five times, the four-time Cup champion returned to the 2.5-mile oval as Dale Earnhardt Jr.s replacement and the top attraction in Sundays race.When (team owner) Rick (Hendrick) said to me, `Are you coming to Indianapolis? I said `Yes I am. I am coming on Saturday, Gordon said. He said, `Well, you better bring your uniform.The improbable comeback takes place just a short drive away from his childhood home of Pittsboro, Indiana, and eight months after his official retirement.Hes back for only one reason: Earnhardt continues to battle concussion-like symptoms and has not yet been cleared by doctors to climb back into the car.When Earnhardt took himself out of the No. 88 last weekend, Hendrick contacted his long-time star who was vacationing in France. Gordon agreed to pinch-hit when he returned. Gordon then texted publicist Jon Edwards, who contacted the speedway 15 minutes before the scheduled announcement.For the Rainbow Warrior, this weeks pace has been every bit as frantic.He flew to New York on Tuesday, then hopped on Hendricks plane, bound for North Carolina as Earnhardt was seeing doctors in Pittsburgh.After landing in Charlotte, Gordon was whisked to team headquarters for a seat fitting. On Wednesday, the day it was announced Earnhardt would miss two more races, Gordon had a physical, applied for drivers credentials and met with crew chief Greg Ives. Gordon spent the rest of the week watching Go-Pro videos, researching data and working in the simulator before practicing Friday. Qualifying will be held Saturday.When he arrived at the track Friday, throngs of fans lined up to catch one more glimpse of Gordon.This is certainly the last thing I thought was going to happen, but I knew it was Indianapolis, Gordon said. I didnt think about it. I felt like if there was one place that I was capable of doing it, it would be here.How much can be expected from a 44-year-old driver who will make his season debut at one of the series fastest tracks and on one of the seasons hottest weekends? The heat index is expected to hit triple digits Sunday.All I can tell you is that I have done everything I possibly can over the last three days to get ready for this race the best way that I can, he said.Gordon is the only five-time Brickyard winner and can become the first driver to ever win six times at Indy.Hes not eligible to make the Chase -- even with a win -- because he hasnt competed in enough races. But if the No. 88 car makes NASCARs playoffs and Earnhardt is not cleared to drive, Hendrick could keep Gordon, who kept the door open to running more races if needed.Earnhardts recovery appears to be progressing, though.Today is the 1st day in many that I sensed improvement, he wrote Friday on Twitter. Seen small gains during my physical therapy as well. Light at the end of the tunnel.Earnhardt also missed two races in 2012 with a concussion, causing some concern about the future plans of the series most popular driver. Hendrick said he has discussed a contract extension beyond next season but would rather see Earnhardt focus on getting healthy right now.Until then, other drivers expect Gordon to be an immediate factor.He could win it (Sunday) and surprise us, defending winner Kyle Busch said. I think realistically, hell be top 10.Its not the first time Gordon was approached this season about making a return, either.He also said he was asked to fill in for the injured Tony Stewart in February at Daytona. Gordon, who was with Stewart when he was injured riding an off-road vehicle, declined the invite because of his commitment to work on Fox Sports broadcast.I would have been all for it, Stewart said with a smile. I mean the least he could have done is, he broke my back, the least he could have done is drive for me.Gordon also acknowledged it will be strange to race against Chase Elliott, who took over in Gordons familiar No. 24 car after the 2015 season finale at Homestead.But for now, hell put the pace-car driving duties on hold as he tries to win for the 94th time in his career.Really, this is just me helping out the organization, Gordon said. We will see what happens on Sunday.

EUGENE, Ore. Cheap Air Max 90 Womens . -- Trayvon Bromell swore off sprinting -- all sports, really -- after taking his third ride to the hospital in as many years.Among his injuries:- Severely injured left knee on a back flip gone wrong in eighth grade.- Damaged right knee while grabbing a rebound during a basketball tournament in ninth grade.- Cracked hip in a 100-meter race as a sophomore.On his way to the doctor after hurting his hip, he told his mom, Lets just stop here before I cant walk anymore.Time healed those wounds and Bromell has bounced back to become one of the top American sprinters. The 20-year-old may even be the one to give Usain Bolt a run for the gold medal at the Rio de Janeiro Games if he makes the 100-meter team at Olympic Trials this week. It wont be automatic with Justin Gatlin, Tyson Gay and Mike Rodgers around, along with the fact that Bromell has been dealing with a tender Achilles in the lead-up to trials.My biggest dream was to go to the Olympics, but I never knew how I was going to be there, said Bromell, who kicks off his quest to reach Rio with a 100-meter heat Saturday and is entered in the 200. If I could go as a spectator, just to sit and watch, my dream would have come true. But to actually be there and compete? I just might lose my mind.At 5-foot-9, 156 pounds, nobody will confuse Bromell with Bolt, who is 6-5, 205.Bromells small frame hasnt slowed him down. He turned pro last fall after two NCAA titles at Baylor. Bromell hired the same agent as Bolt and signed a shoe deal with New Balance.This image of, `Oh, you have to have this look to be great. Well, you dont, said Bromell, whos from St. Petersburg, Florida. I want to show everyone that it is possible.Thats partly because he never thought hed even be in this place, especially after fracturing his hip in high school -- the final straw, he figured, in his athletic career. One moment Bromell was flying down Lane 6 and the next he woke up on the grass after blacking out because of pain.Time for a new path. Maybe as an engineer, he thought. Or as a tattoo artist or maybe a stint in the Army.His mom, though, convinced him to give it one more shot.So, once his hip healed, back to the track he went. Bromells first race back wasnt that spectacular -- he ran 11.33 seconds, which was well off his personal best. But it may have been one of his best races because it rekindled his desire.Bromell was named Gatorades national track and field athlete of the year in 2013, in part because he ran the fastest time ever (9.99 seconds) by a U.S. prep athlete regardless of wind conditions. He also won the USA junior championships.Turns out, he actually recruited Baylor. The Bears were known more for producing 200- and 400-meter runners such as Michael Johnson and Jeremy Wariner, but Bromell signed up and set all sorts of records. He holds the top-10 fastest 100 times at Baylor.Nothing really surprises me when Trayvon gets on the track, said Baylor associate coach Michael Ford, who trains Bromell. Hes got an inner focus that I havent seen from a young sprinter, especially one on this big of stage.At the 2015 world championships in Beijing, he tied for the bronze medal in the 100 with Andre De Grasse of Canada. Three months ago, he gained more confidence by winning the 60-meter race at the world indoor championships in Portland over a field that included Jamaican Asafa Powell.Ive always been a confident person. I dont fear too many things, Bromell said. No man on this earth will put fear in me.Now, his time has come. And though reports say hes been dealing with an Achilles sprain since May, he has taken time off from meets and expects to be fresh -- he told the Tampa Bay Times -- for whats sure to be a competitive race for one of three spots.It all comes down to who has strongest mindset, Bromell said. A lot of people dont see me big as a big threat, because of my stature and size. A lot of people count me out, just because people are bigger than me. At the end of the day, if you have stronger mindset you can overpower anyone. Cheap Air Max 90 All White . -- Eastern Kentucky thrives off creating havoc for others. Cheap Air Max 90 2018 .

BOSTON -- Yankees right-hander Tyler Clippard had a short, quick answer for how badly things went for New York at Fenway Park this weekend.Brutal. Pretty self-explanatory when you get swept in a situation like we had, Clippard said after giving up Hanley Ramirezs second homer of the game that lifted the Boston Red Sox over the New York Yankees 5-4 on Sunday night.It completed a four-game sweep that severely diminished the Yankees chances of winning the AL East.We couldve won all four of these games here, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. We just werent able to shut them down. Theyre a very good offense and we understand that. There were times we had chances to tack on runs and we werent able to do that. But youve got to start over Tuesday.Gary Sanchez belted his 16th homer since Aug. 3 for the Yankees, who dropped eight back in the division and remained four behind Toronto for the second wild-card spot.Its tough, Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia said. Obviously we had some games, probably all of them, that we couldve won.The Yankees were without second baseman Starlin Castro and center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury, who were both injured Saturday. Castro strained his right hamstring running out a double and Ellsbury bruised his right knee sliding into a bullpen wall trying to make a catch.Ramirez drove in four runs and Jackie Bradley Jr. had a tying RBI single for the East-leading Red Sox, who overcame a rough start by Drew Pomeranz to post their ninth win in 12 games. Boston remained three games ahead of second-place Baltimore, which beat Tampa Bay 2-1 on Sunday.The Red Sox open a 10-game trip at Baltimore with the first of four games on Monday night.The Red Sox overcame deficits three times in the series, including the opener, when they scored five in the ninth and Ramirez hit a game-ending, three-run homer.This time, he hit a fly ball that soared over the Green Monster off Clippaard (1-1) for a 5-4 lead in the seventh. Cheap Air Max 90 Grey. It was his 12th homer in 21 games.Robby Scott (1-0) retired the only two batters he faced for his first major league victory. Koji Uehara got the final three outs for his seventh save.New York scored single runs in the first and third before chasing Pomeranz with two in the fourth.But the Red Sox sliced it to 4-3 when Ramirez hit a line drive off the base of a light stanchion above the Monster after Sabathia threw widely to first on what would have been an easy inning-ending double play.Sabathia gave up four runs and eight hits in five-plus innings.Didi Gregorius drove in the Yankees first run with an RBI double before Sanchez hit a shot that caromed off a billboard above the left-field seats.TRAINERS ROOMYankees: 3B Chase Headley was also out of the lineup after his back stiffened up Saturday.Red Sox: Red Sox slugger David Ortiz struck out as a pinch hitter, getting most of the night off after running the bases a lot the first three games.SWEEPSBoston recorded its first four-game sweep over New York since 1990. The Red Sox also had a three-game sweep at home against the Yankees this season. Its the first time the Yankees were swept in a four-game series since 2012, at Oakland.MOOKIE MAGICRF Mookie Betts made two diving catches, the second against Brett Gardner leading off the ninth that brought chants of MVP!

The bottom two clubs in the Premier League meet on Saturday in a clash that already has the hallmark of a game that could define the season. Nike Air Max Mens Sale .Stoke City (0-3-4) and Sunderland (0-2-5) are both winless and separated by just a point at the foot of the table, while no other clubs in the English top-flight are yet to record a victory this season.And although its too early to describe any game in the division as a relegation tussle, the performances shown by both the Potters and the Black Cats in the opening two months of the campaign suggest that defeat in this game would leave either side with a lot of soul-searching to do before being able to find enough form to pull clear of danger.However, despite the pressure on the result, Stoke City boss Mark Hughes is arriving into Saturdays encounter with a surprisingly high level of confidence, with the coach looking to project as many positives as possible from his teams draw with Manchester United last time outWere the home side and if we play as well as weve done in recent weeks then we should (win), Hughes told reporters in his Thursday media conference. I think weve seen good signs in recent weeks -- we played really, really well at Old Trafford and deservedly got the point.Everybody can see weve been working hard and were trying to get that first win on the board. When we do I think that everybody believes that were going to go on from that point. It needs to happen at the weekend and Im fully confident that well be in good shape to look to make it happen.Sunderland also picked up a positive result last time out, drawing 1-1 with West Bromwich Albion to double their points tally from the previous six matches.However, manager David Moyes has yet to settle on an effective starting lineup since taking over at the club in the summer, and he hasnt been helped by a growing injury list.Jan Kirchhoff, Jason Denayer, Adnan Januzaj, Fabio Borini and Vito Mannone are all absent, while Victor Anichebe, Lee Cattermole and Steven Pienaar are also doubts for this contest.The pile up of fitness concerns is particularly damaging given the lack of depth in the Black Cats squad, and midfielder Sebastien Larsson -- who remains out with a long-term ligament injury -- says that lack of wins from the team makes being stuck on the treatment table doubly frustrating.The start to the season weve had makes it worse, the Swede said. Its hard enough being on the sidelines and getting your head around that, going to the games and supporting the boys when you know you arent going to be involved for a while.When weve scored Ive been jumping up and down… as best I could!I am fully focused on my recovery and my rehab, but at the same time I try to get myself as much involved as I can with the lads and help out and push them on and use my experience.Stoke arent short of their own injury problems, with Jack Butland, Stephen Ireland and Ibrahim Afellay all out and Glen Johnson and Joe Allen both doubts after picking up knocks on international duty.

Freshmen scored more than half of Arizonas points in its opening victory over Michigan State. Ultra Boost 2018 For Sale .But coach Sean Miller put the ball in the hands of a fifth-year senior with the game on the line.Guard Kadeem Allen delivered with a coast-to-coast layup in the final seconds as 10th-ranked Arizona 65-63 beat then-No. 12 Michigan State last Friday night in Honolulu. Miller will continue to look to Allen to guide a young team, which opens its home schedule Tuesday night against Cal State Bakersfield in McKale Center, starting at 10 p.m. ET.He is the guy that every coach in the country would love to have on their team, because he really only cares about one thing, and that is winning, Miller said.Allen, the teams only available senior, starts at shooting guard after spending most of last season a bit miscast as the starting point guard. The move off the ball allows Allen to focus on his defense, where Miller says he might be the best perimeter defender hes coached.Being off the ball, I feel I have a lot more energy to guard the other teams best player and not really have to focus on the offense as much, Allen said.Arizona played its opener, and its two exhibitions, without sophomore guard Allonzo Trier, who averaged 14.8 points per game last season. He is reportedly dealing with eligibility issues, although school officials have declined to comment on his status or any timetable for a potential return.As for the freshmen, guard Kobi Simmons, taking advantage of Triers absence, led the Wildcats with 18 points, including 15 in the first half. Power forward Lauri Markkanen scored 13, including making 2 of 3 3-pointers. Wing Rawle Alkins scored three.Kobi stepped up big-time, Allen said. The first half, he really carried the team on his back. We fed off his energy.Without Trier, Arizona has eight available scholarship players, so the three freshmen, plus junior college transfer forward Keanu Pinder, have to continue to play big roles.Cal State Bakersfield went 24-9 last season and earned its first NCAA Tournament berth since moving to NCAA Division I for the 2007-08 season.

The Roadrunners were led by a newcomer, wing Shon Briggs, who spent last season at City College of San Francisco. He scored 21 points on 9 of 12 shooting in his Roadrunners debut.Weve put him in a lot of positions where he can just do what he likes to do, said coach Rod Barnes. Weve kind of figured him out a little bit in where he likes to get the ball, and hes really dangerous once he catches it.Senior guard Dedrick Basile, who had 11 points in the opener, is on the preseason watch list for the Lou Henson Award, given to the nations top Division I mid-major player. Basile averaged 12.0 points, 3.7 assists and 1.8 steals last season, when he had a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to win the WAC title game.Arizonas game against CSUB is the first of three home games in a span of six days for the Wildcats.

Hes also doing a tremendous job at Ipswich with very little resources. Why finish a football game and then have a two-week break and then 10 days into the two-week break you sack someone?

EUGENE, Ore. Football Jerseys UK Outlet . -- Allyson Felix ran through the pain.Sanya Richards-Ross couldnt overcome it.And, in the strangest twist of all, Friday nights biggest track news came 3,000 miles away from the U.S. Olympic trials, when a tweak in Usain Bolts hamstring threatened to derail the Jamaican champion and change everyones Olympic math.On a night Felix successfully auto-piloted her injured right ankle through 400-meter qualifying to keep her chance at a 200-400 double alive, Richards-Ross bid a tearful adieu to the fans after pulling up 250 meters into her lap around the track. Her hamstring proved too tight to carry on.Ive had an amazing career, said Richards-Ross, 31. To have my last race be here, at Hayward Field, in front of these fans, its incredible.But it was Bolts hamstring that had the track world buzzing. At Jamaicas national championships in Kingston, Bolt never even made it to the track, pulling out with what he called a minor hamstring injury.Unlike the United States, where the top three finishers in each event qualify for the Olympics with no exceptions, Bolt can still make it to Rio if he can prove hes fit. That test will come July 22 at a meet in London.Possibly the biggest beneficiary would be Justin Gatlin, the American who has been Bolts biggest challenger the past few years.He will be on the Olympic team, Gatlin told The Associated Press. I dont see him missing out. Hes going to do what he needs to do.Gatlin starts qualifying in the 100 on Saturday.Richards-Ross, meanwhile, will have to settle for some fond memories and a heartfelt goodbye to her fans.In addition to her four Olympic gold medals, including the individual title at the London Games, Richards-Ross holds the stadium record in Eugene -- better known as Track Town USA. It was here, five weeks ago at the Prefontaine Classic, that fans got their first true glimpse of what might be coming. Richards-Ross finished seventh that day.In this one, her first 15 steps out of the blocks were smooth, but she quickly slowed from a sprint to a trot. By the time she hit the first curve on the backstretch, she was jogging. And then she pulled up completely.Lets be honest, I hurt my hamstring real bad, she said. I worked with a great doctor just to get out on the track today.After she pulled up, Richards-Ross walked to the finish line. Fans rose from their seats and Richards-Ross blew kisses.She earned many of those fans through her failures and successes -- her long battle with illness and injuries, her third-place finish in Beijing that left her weeping underneath the stands, then, finally, the gold medal in London.Most fans have seen my heart through my running, Richards-Ross said. I dont win every time I step on the track. I dont deserve the ovation because Im always a champion. But I think they see my heart, my determination, my desire to be a good person.Now, though, theyll be watching Felix and others finish up the 400.Felix finished second in her heat, posting a time of 51.96 seconds, then headed straight to the trainers room for treatment.She hurt the ankle in the spring and has had a rough time coming back -- forced to do most of her running the wrong way around the track so as not to put the injured ankle at more risk.She has less than 18 hours to recover. Her semifinal heat is set for Saturday afternoon.Other headlines from Day 1 at track trials:RUPP ROMP: Galen Rupp won the 10,000 meters in a time of 27 minutes, 55.04 seconds and is now qualified for both the 10K and the marathon. Rupp, the silver medalist at 10K in London, beat Shadrack Kipchirchir by more than 6 seconds. Leonard Korir also qualified. Rupp said hell also race in the 5K and then decide which races to enter at the Olympics.SHOT PUT: Adam Nelson was honored for his Olympic gold medal -- the one he won in 2004 -- during a ceremony before the shot put finals. Wearing a Best Dad Ever T-shirt with unicorns and a rainbow, the 40-year-old got the ceremony that didnt take place when he was upgraded from silver to gold because of a doping positive. But Nelson, who came out of retirement for trials, did not make the 2016 Olympic team. He finished ninth. The top three were Ryan Crouser, world champion Joe Kovacs and Jordan Clark.WAIT AND SEE: After making it easily through his first heat in the 400 meters, LaShawn Merritt said he was in Wait and See mode about trying to add the 200 to his schedule. Merritt has the worlds fastest time at 200 meters this year, but has never run the distance in a major meet. He said hell see how he feels when the 400 is over before he decides about the 200.RETIRING TYPES: Forty-year-old high jumper Amy Acuff, a five-time Olympian, failed to qualify and said this was her last meet. Sprinter DeeDee Trotter is also calling it quits -- just not quite yet. The 33-year-old, who has two Olympic gold relay medals, made it through 400-meter qualifying but said shell be hanging it up whenever this season ends. Cheap Soccer Jerseys UK Online .

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Indiana Hoosiers coach Kevin Wilson finally figured out how to get his offense in sync.He shuffled his best players in and out of Saturdays game, got the ball into his playmakers hands and just let them go to work.The result: Three players topped the 100-yard mark, five players scored on touchdown runs and the Hoosiers got back into the bowl hunt with a 42-36 victory over Maryland.When you get that running game going, that stuff is easy. When youre playing one dimensional, its a lot easier to get defended, Wilson said. A lot of things that we did today, we wouldnt have done last week because of the scheme of the (opposing) defense. Some of the things we did were just part of the nature of what we do within the structure.The bottom line is it worked -- and if Indiana (4-4, 2/3 Big Ten) can keep it rolling they could be headed to a second straight bowl game for the first time since 1990 and 1991.Devine Redding ran for 130 yards and one score. Tyler Natee, the 270-pound freshman running back, ran 18 times for a career-high 111 yards and a TD. And Diamont, the backup quarterback had 11 carries for 104 yards and two scores as Indiana snapped a three-game losing streak.For Maryland, it was a frustrating day.Despite leading 21-16 at halftime and 24-23 with 1:11 left in the third quarter, the Terrapins (5-3, 2-3) couldnt put away the rugged Hoosiers.Instead, Mitchell Paige closed out the third quarter with a 15-yard TD run on a reverse and Perry Hills fumble led to Natees 2-yard plunge that made it 35-24. The Terrapins got within 35-30 late in the game but the 2-point conversion pass failed and Maryland couldnt get any closer.We didnt tackle well, we didnt execute, new Maryland coach DJ Durkin said. We didnt play at any sort of standard that would help us win a game.KEY NUMBERSMaryland running back Ty Johnson topped the 100-yard mark in the first half, thanks largely to a 66-yard scoring run. He finished with 13 carries for 142 yards. Maryland quarterback Perry Hills ran for two scores andd threw for two more on a day he was 22 of 33 for 248 yards with one interception and one lost fumble. Stitched Soccer Jerseys UK. Indiana came up just short of breaking the school record for most yards rushing (455) at Memorial Stadium, set in 2014 against Indiana State. The Hoosiers had 650 yards, 414 on the ground. Quarterback Richard Lagow was 16 of 25 for 207 yards, as the Hoosiers became the second team this season to throw for more than 200 yards against the Terrapins defense.DEFENSIVE STRUGGLESThe two offenses combined for 1,167 yards, with 683 yards coming on the ground. Indiana averaged 7.3 yards on 57 carries, while the Terrapins averaged 5.4 yards on 50 carries. And despite all those chances, the Terrapins had the only two turnovers of the game.THE TAKEAWAYMaryland: The Terrapins were hoping to eliminate any suspense about their postseason plans before entering their most rugged stretch of the season -- at No. 2 Michigan, home against No. 6 Ohio State and at No. 7 Nebraska. Instead, Maryland came up short and may have to wait until the season finale against Rutgers to finish the job.Indiana: The Hoosiers got a huge boost with the win. They can become bowl-eligible with two wins in their final four games, a stretch that includes a trip to reeling Rutgers and a home date against rival Purdue.UP NEXTMaryland: Nov. 2 at No. 2 Michigan. Its the first time the Terrapins will face a ranked team all season and it comes on the road against a team fighting to win the Big Ten title and make the playoffs. There will be nothing easy about this one.Indiana: Nov. 2 at Rutgers. After a rugged start to the conference season, facing five teams that entered the weekend a combined 24-11 and playing bowl-eligible teams, the Hoosiers finally get a break. Theyll face the two-win Scarlet Knights, the Big Tens only winless team in league play.---The APs college football page: http://collegefootball.ap.org Wholesale China Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Nike Basketball Jerseys Hockey Jerseys China Supply Baseball Jerseys Football Jerseys Sale Authentic College Jerseys MLB Jerseys China Stitched Soccer Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap Nike Jerseys ' ' '

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Nike Air Max 95 Clearance . -- Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr.?said Titans wide receiver Harry Douglas tried to end my career with a low hit on Harris right knee in the second quarter of Tennessees?13-10 win Sunday at Nissan Stadium.On a 6-yard run by Derrick Henry with 3 minutes, 10 seconds left in the first half, Harris was standing away from the pile in the middle of the field when Douglas dove at his right knee.Harris, who suffered a torn ACL in his left knee in 2013, pulled his right leg back just after contact or any injury likely could have been much worse. He fell to the ground after the hit, clutching his right knee.After a few moments down on the field, he walked slowly back to the bench area with the teams trainers. Harris returned to the game before halftime and played the entire second half.I never had a player try to end my career before, Harris said. Thats not football. He tried to end my career with a hit like that. ... [The officials] didnt call it, but hopefully the league can take a look at that.Minutes later, as he walked to the team bus, Harris added, Whatever the biggest fine is, thats what he should get.Douglas seemed to think otherwise.First of all, thats a clean play, Douglas said. It was a run play with me and him looking at each other, and I cut-blocked him. Like I told them, if they watch film, which theyre supposed to do in the NFL, you would know I can cut-block in the run game and thats a legal play. I guess he didnt watch film because if they watched me last week or any other game he would say thats what I do in the run game.Douglas hit left plenty of hard feelings. On the following play, with Aqib Talib lined up on Douglas, the Broncos cornerback confronted the receiver after another run play. The two ended up pushing and shoving close to the Titans bench area. Shortly after, several more Titans players had surrounded Talib before more Broncos players waded into the scrum.Officials got the players separated, and Talib was assessed an unnecessary roughness penalty. Three plays later, Ryan Succop kicked a 41-yard field goal to give the Titans a 13-0 lead.Talib minced no words after the game, calling Douglas a sorry player, and continued on saying the next time I see him in Atlanta Im going to beat his ass, since both Talib and Douglas are represented by the same agent.I was just standing there. I was nowhere near the play, Harris said. I mean, somebody tries to end your career, I cant believe he did it.The league likely will review the play in the coming days, and there is potential for a fine for Douglas. After the game, Douglas was asked whether he was concerned if the Titans eventually had to face the Broncos again in a playoff game.Yall forgot who won today? Douglas said. I aint worried about playing no one in no playoffs. ... The way we play the game of football, we dont care who we play.Harris said his knee was sore after the game and that he didnt feel 100 percent after the hit.I was nowhere near the play, but thats why hes out there, to be a dirty player, Harris said.Douglas then responded to the accusations of him being a dirty player.Im a tough player. Im a gritty player, he said. Im not a dirty player, no matter what anybody says.NFL Nation reporter Paul Kuharsky contributed to this report. Cheap Air Max 2017 .

LOUIS -- Theres no telling how these wacky World Series games will end. SAN DIEGO -- Hoisting the trophy and spraying champagne will be nice, for sure, for the crew that wins the Americas Cup World Series.Even sweeter will be the two bonus points that can help jumpstart that team when the fleet reconvenes in Bermuda next summer for the elimination rounds.The ninth and final stop of the ACWS will be sailed this weekend in Fukuoka, Japan. The winner of the overall series will earn two bonus points to carry into the qualifiers in June, while the second-place team will earn one bonus point.Thats a significant bonus to take forward, said British sailing star Sir Ben Ainslie, whose Land Rover BAR team holds the overall series lead with 437 points, 14 better than two-time defending Americas Cup champion Oracle Team USA.Emirates Team New Zealand, the hard-luck loser to Oracle in the 2013 Americas Cup, is three points back in third, with 420.SoftBank Team Japan is fourth with 399, followed by Artemis Racing of Sweden with 391 and Groupama Team France with 360.Ainslie, who was knighted a few months after winning his fourth straight Olympic gold medal at the 2012 London Games, said Land Rover BAR has been motivated by the bonus points and because its a new team fighting for the oldest trophy in international sports.Its been a huge amount of work, Ainslie said. Ive never worked this hard in my life. Its been massively rewarding for all of us for what weve achieved in a short amount of time. But were just starting. Our goal is to build a sustainable business in the UK with the core goal of winning the Americas Cup. We know it will be a huge battle next summer in Bermuda. If were not able to win the Cup next time, were going to keep going. We set this up to keep going until we get the job done.Ainslie would love to become the first Englishman to hoist the Americas Cup in victory. After losing the trophy to the schooner America in 1851, the Brits have never been able to win it back.Its huge, Ainslie said. For us, we have a very proud sporting heritage. Thats the one sporting trophy weve never won.The two bonus points will essentially represent two wins in the double round-robin qualifiers. In a break wiith tradition, the defender, Oracle, will sail against the challengers in that series. Cheap Air Max 90. If a challenger wins the qualifiers and ultimately advances to the Americas Cup match, it will begin with a one-point advantage. Likewise, if Oracle, owned by software billionaire Larry Ellison, wins the qualifiers, it will begin the first-to-seven match with a one-point lead.After the qualifiers, the top four challengers will advance to the playoffs consisting of semifinals and finals to determine which team faces Oracle in the Americas Cup match.Ainslie said that one-point bonus for the Americas Cup match would be a nice helping hand.It certainly is our approach that its definitely worth fighting for, he said.Land Rover BAR has won three of the eight ACWS stops, with one second and two thirds.Oracle has yet to win a stop on the series, although it has four second-place finishes and two thirds.However, Oracle was last in the previous ACWS stop in Toulon, France.Skipper Jimmy Spithill missed that regatta after having elbow surgery. Hes back for this regatta.Obviously this would be a pretty nice one to crack that, Spithill said. But the biggest thing in this series was consistency. Trust me, every single event we come to as a team, the goal is the same, to try to come away with a win. This one is no different. We want to come away with points. Were in not too bad of a position.Ainslie sailed with Oracle in the 2013 Americas Cup, helping the American-backed team rally to beat Team New Zealand in one of the biggest comebacks in sports history.I would say if they went through without winning an event that would be a disappointment in terms of their psyche, although it doesnt really hurt them, Ainslie said. Knowing that team, they expect to be performing better. Theyve been one of the more consistent teams but they havent been able to nail it on the date. Hopefully, from our point of view, this Japan event wont be when they start.---Follow Bernie Wilson on Twitter at http://twitter.com/berniewilson Wholesale China Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Nike Basketball Jerseys Hockey Jerseys China Supply Baseball Jerseys Football Jerseys Sale Authentic College Jerseys MLB Jerseys China Stitched Soccer Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap Nike Jerseys ' ' '

Former England skipper Ray Wilkins has told Sky Sports News HQ he does not expect Ronald Koeman to leave Southampton for Everton this summer. Adidas Nmd r1 Primeknit Shoes . The ex-Chelsea and Manchester United star believes the new contracts handed to three Saints players in recent days may be a tell-tale sign that their Dutch manager is also staying on the south coast.Koeman is being linked to the vacant seat at Everton, who sacked Roberto Martinez on Thursday following their dismal end to the Premier League season. However, the news that Fraser Forster, James Ward-Prowse and Virgil van Dijk are remaining at St Marys may be down to a guarantee that Koeman will still be Southampton boss next season.Goalkeeper Forster has signed a new five-year deal, while midfielder Ward-Prowse and defender van Dijk are staying for six more seasons.Wilkins said: Forster is an England international, and young Ward-Prowse has done well for the under 21s. He may be looking for a bigger fish, and thats no disrespect to Everton or their supporters. Ray Wilkins Would they have sought guarantees from Koeman that he was going to remain there before signing their contracts?Both have improved under him and, in the modern day game, they may have wanted assurances he was staying.And Wilkins believes Koeman may not view Everton as being a step up from Southampton, bearing in mind that the Toffees trail Saints by 16 points going into the final weekend of the season.He added: I think Southampton are the bigger club. He may be looking for a bigger fish, and thats no disrespect to Everton or their supporters. Ray Wilkins believes Southampton boss Ronald Koeman will stay at the club this summer despite reports linking him with Everton. Hes done a magnificent job. When he went there (in June 2014) they had just sold about five players - three went to Liverpool - and he has had to rebuild all over again.He sells players but brings in top quality players who are accustomed to our league. I think hes ready for a go at the top four.Wilkins thinks the demise of Martinez maybe down to the teams failures when their opponents have possession.He went on: What Ive seen of Everton the last couple of years, with the ball they are exceptional, reaching two cup semi-finals this year, so its not all bad.With the ball good but without it not so good - or not as good as it should be. I think that has been their major failing.Its all about winning, and when you lose eight games at home, thats not good enough if youre a top club.

LOUIS -- St.Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca! Hey Kerry, In last nights Kings vs. Sharks game, the Kings appeared to have scored a goal shortly after the Sharks made it 2-0 on a power play. The goal was called back because the ref blew the play dead on a premature whistle. The puck never stopped moving and yet it was blown dead. Its obvious the ref would never admit he blew it early and it was a good goal. My question to you is, what can be done to rectify situations like this?  Also - during playoffs, when officials make mistakes like this, do they lose the chance to officiate an upcoming game. I understand the game is played at a quick tempo and these guys are doing the best they can and mistakes are made. Im just curious as to what the repercussions are for officials. We all know what they are for players, as the league makes it known. Thanks,Rob KitzanSaskatoon Rob: The reason this goal was negated is because of something referred to as the Referees intent to blow the whistle to stop play. Simply put, that means that once the Ref determines (in his mind) that the puck is frozen or unplayable it is a dead play in that moment irrespective of any delayed time response to physically blow the whistle. This is referenced in the following rules: 31.2 Disputes - As there is a human factor involved in blowing the whistle to stop play, the Referee may deem the play to be stopped slightly prior to the whistle actually being blown. The fact that the puck may come loose or cross the goal line prior to the sound of the whistle has no bearing if the Referee has ruled that the play had been stopped prior to this happening. 78.5 (xii) Disallowed Goals - When the Referee deems the play has been stopped, even if he had not physically had the opportunity to stop play by blowing his whistle. 85.3 Puck Out of Sight - Should a scramble take place or a player accidentally fall on the puck and the puck be out of sight of the Referee, he shall immediately blow his whistle to stop play. As the puck was shot into Antti Niemi with Dustin Penner hovering at the crease along with Kings defensive traffic , Referee Brad Meier determined (in his mind) that the puck was sufficiently frozen and as a result was in the act of blowing his whistle.. Adidas Nmd r1 Australia. With Meiers physical action to blow the whistle taking place, the puck continued on its slide path between Niemis pads and became exposed. Whether Dustin Penner nudged the puck over the goal line or if it travelled there under its own steam is of no consequence; nor is the sound of the Referees whistle being heard just after the puck crossed the goal line. All that is of consequence on is this play is that the Referee deemed the play stopped prior to blowing his whistle as outlined in the above rule references. In hindsight the Referees decision to stop play was premature.  A "quick whistle" resulted in a good goal being disallowed.  Referee Meier would likely be the first guy to tell you so along with how sick it made him feel once he saw a replay. While this is of no consolation to the LA Kings or their fans the Referee didnt have the benefit of a replay or hindsight. He had to make a split second decision at the time. It proved to be the wrong one. So Rob, how can this situation be avoided and/or rectified in the future? You can bet that the Referee, along with the others presently working in the playoffs, will be more patient in determining a frozen puck and their intent to blow the whistle. The other corrective measure should take place over the summer and allow for video review to take place on a play such as this, in addition to all cases where goalkeeper interference is suspected. Since the overriding factor is the moment the Ref determines the play to be dead (in his mind) no one else could review the play to overturn this thought process. This must be done exclusively by the Referee himself. Any inner thoughts he might have had in the nanosecond would most likely be clearly illuminated once he saw the replay to render the correct decision. I maintain the same is true with goalkeeper interference. Give that call back to the Referee(s) on the ice through video review; whether through a Coaches challenge or just vest the Referee with the authority to review the goal at ice level. As far as repercussions of calls to the Officials, all performances are evaluated and decisions are made as to who moves on to the next round. Previously assigned games would not likely be changed since Referees move from one series to another. This was a human error made by a very honest and good Referee.   Wholesale China Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Nike Basketball Jerseys Hockey Jerseys China Supply Baseball Jerseys Football Jerseys Sale Authentic College Jerseys MLB Jerseys China Stitched Soccer Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap Nike Jerseys ' ' '
