(STATS) -- Rushing for more yards than anyone in the FCS -- and by a wide margin -- could put Chase Edmonds in the running for some national player of the year awards. Air Max 90 Cheap Clearance . Yet, that wasnt good enough to get him top honors in the pint-sized Patriot League.Instead, it was Lehigh quarterback Nick Shafnisky who was named the Patriots Player of the Year even though he missed 2 1/2 games and didnt lead the league in passing yards or touchdown passes. Apparently voters felt that the senior dual threat leading Lehigh to a perfect conference record, a 9-2 season overall and a playoff berth outweighed Edmonds seemingly superior statistics.Edmonds, of course, did make the All-Patriot first-team offense after rushing for an FCS-best 1,799 yards, 281 more than second-place Tarik Cohen of North Carolina A&T. A junior who already owns the conferences all-time record with 62 rushing TDs, Edmonds ran for 19 scores this season to finish second in the Subdivision.Shafnisky did run for 10 TDs of his own and threw for 20 in just nine games, having missed time due to a nagging ankle problem. He completed 66.2 percent of his passes for 2,448 yards and rushed for 302 as the Mountain Hawks finished among the top 10 offenses in the FCS with 40.5 points and 491.5 yards per game.Andy Coen is the mastermind of that offense and earned the conferences Coach of the Year honor. Its the second time in 11 seasons at Lehigh that hes won the award.Shafniskys two favorite targets were among five Mountain Hawks named to the first-team offense. Troy Pelletier and Gatlin Casey each topped 1,000 yards and totaled 25 touchdowns.A pair of Colgate defenders took home the conferences other two honors. Junior Pat Afriyie earned Defensive Player of the Year after finishing among the national leaders with 10 sacks and 21 tackles for loss. Defensive back Abu Daramy won Rookie of the Year after totaling 22 tackles and four pass breakups while keying the Red Raiders special teams with 21.4 yards per kickoff return and 7.3 per punt return.---=PATRIOT LEAGUE POSTSEASON AWARDS=OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR -- Nick Shafnisky, QB, LehighDEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR -- Pat Afriyie, DL, ColgateROOKIE OF THE YEAR -- Abu Daramy, RS/DB, ColgateCOACH OF THE YEAR -- Andy Coen, LehighPATRIOT LEAGUE FIRST TEAMOFFENSEQB -- Nick Shafnisky, LehighRB -- Dom Bragalone, LehighRB -- Chase Edmonds, FordhamFB/HB -- John Wilkins, ColgateWR -- Gatlin Casey, LehighWR -- Brendan Flaherty, Holy CrossWR -- Troy Pelletier, LehighTE -- Dylan Wadsworth, LafayetteOL -- Anthony Coyle, FordhamOL -- Jordi Dalmau, ColgateOL -- Julien Davenport, BucknellOL -- Zach Duffy, LehighOL -- Ryan Paulish, ColgateDEFENSEDL -- Abdullah Anderson, BucknellDL -- Pat Afriyie, ColgateDL -- Dewayne Cameron, Holy CrossDL -- Justin Vaughn, FordhamLB -- Colton Caslow, LehighLB -- Kyle Diener, ColgateLB -- Nick McBeath, Holy CrossLB -- Ben Richard, BucknellDB -- Bret Berg, BucknellDB -- Caleb Ham, FordhamDB -- Bryan Marine, BucknellDB -- Chris Morgan, ColgateSPECIAL TEAMSPK -- Ed Mish, LehighRS -- Gatlin Casey, LehighP -- Ed Mish, LehighNON-SPECIALIST -- Hunter Kiselick, Georgetown Air Max 90 Cheap Sale .C. -- Kemba Walker and the Charlotte Bobcats got off to a fast start, and the Sacramento Kings were never quite able to catch up.

Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes.

Giroud, who wasnt in the starting lineup for two matches after allegations about his private life and a decline in form, scored twice in the first half. Tomas Rosickys chip made it 3-0 before half time at Emirates Stadium, while defender Laurent Koscielny scored an unmarked header in the second half. MILAN -- At 40, Francesco Totti may not be Romas `Golden Boy anymore, but he is still very much `the King of Rome.Totti celebrates his 40th birthday on Tuesday but the Champions Leagues oldest scorer is showing no signs of slowing down and indeed seems to have found a new lease of life.There was speculation last season that maybe the time had come for Il Capitano to hang up his boots and move into the boardroom but, with six goals in his past 11 league matches and several assists, Totti is proving his doubters wrong.Totti marked the final match of his 30s on Sunday by becoming only the second player to score 250 Serie A goals, reaching that mark with a penalty kick in Romas 3-1 loss at Torino.The man who upset Tottis pre-birthday celebrations, Torino coach Sinisa Mihajlovic, helped persuade then Roma coach Vujadin Boskov to hand a 16-year-old Totti his debut.Mihajlovic had been amazed by the precocious youngster, who was giving him and his fellow first-team defenders trouble in training as well as racking up goals for the youth team.On March 28, 1993, with Roma winning 2-0 at Brescia, Mihajlovic ran up to Boskov and said come on, bring the kid on... The rest is history.Mihajlovic joked at the weekend that Totti owes him a dinner for that, and it cant be at a pizzeria, it has to be oysters and champagne before adding he is the best player in Italy since Ive been here.And for nearly a quarter of a century Totti has been living up to those expectations. With his stunning goals and defense-splitting passes, Totti is, for many Roma fans, the epitomy of the Roman gladiator that he has tattooed on his right shoulder.If Rome is the Eternal City, Totti is Romas eternal leader and has been since he was first made captain in 1998, at the age of just 22.Zdenek Zeman, who promoted Totti to the captaincy, was such an ardent admirer that he once said: Who are the best five Italian players? Totti, Totti, Totti, Totti, Totti.Several teammates and coaches have compared Totti with a famous Roman monument, with Claudio Ranieri saying the star player is as important as the Colosseum is to Rome.He has been just as immovable.Totti has spent his entire career at Roma and wheen his current contract expires, he will have had 25 years in its first team -- remarkably more than 28 percent of the clubs existence.

Totti could have won more than the solitary Serie A title, two Italian Cups and two national Super Cups he lifted with Roma, but he rejected offers of more money and glory to remain with his childhood club.I grew up playing for Roma and I want to die playing for Roma ... I have always been a Roma fan, said Totti, who was raised in the Porta Metronia area of the city.Tottis face adorns murals and posters across Italys capital, where he is loved by Roma fans and respected by supporters of bitter rival Lazio, despite his antics against them.Totti has scored 11 times against Lazio and often celebrates these extra-special goals with t-shirts made for the occasion. One famously said I have purged you again, while he revealed another reading simply Game Over after a victory in May 2015.He hit the headlines in January of that year when he scored the second of two goals against Lazio and, in a pre-planned celebration for becoming the all-time leading scorer in the derby, grabbed his phone off Romas goalkeeping coach and took a selfie under the Curva Sud with thousands of adoring fans in the background.Totti has also been a star for Italy and he helped the Azzurri to the European Championship final in 2000 as well as the World Cup trophy in 2006.He grabbed global attention at Euro 2000 with one of the moments of the tournament, in the semifinals against the Netherlands. In the tense penalty shootout, the 23-year-old Totti kept his cool to cheekily chip Edwin van der Sar with his spot-kick.Totti was named man of the match in the final, despite Italy losing 2-1 to France.Totti played in all seven of Italys World Cup matches in 2006 and his last match for the Azzurri was the final against France, concluding his international career with 58 caps and nine goals.Asked what gift Totti should get for his 40th birthday, Roma coach Luciano Spalletti was among the people who suggested a time machine.
