LENZERHEIDE, Switzerland -- Bode Miller wants to continue racing next season at the age of 37, even if this campaign left him disappointed. Michael Saunders Jersey . A third-place run in a World Cup super-G on Thursday typified Millers season: Fast and crowd-pleasing, but errors cost him victory. "Im frustrated and worn out right now but I think I have more to do in the sport," Miller said. "I definitely am still competitive. If I can keep my body healthy then I think the plan is to race next year." Millers racing skills were clear when he became the oldest-ever Olympic Alpine medallist last month, taking bronze in super-G at Sochi. On a steep and technically demanding slope Thursday, no one was faster than Millers speed check of 101.9 kph (63.3 mph). Still, he came down 0.57 seconds behind surprise winner Alexis Pinturault, with another Frenchman, Thomas Mermillod Blondin, edging him by one-hundredth. "I had probably two and half seconds, three seconds, worth of mistakes, in that run," Miller insisted. "That is the way my season has been. I have had to deal with that." Miller took full responsibility for his race, and a World Cup season that has brought him four podium finishes but no addition to his 33 career victories. "It has been such a frustrating time of so many near-misses and so many really bad, stupid mistakes that I cant blame anyone but myself for," he said. That list includes his top priority races: The classic World Cup downhill at Kitzbuehel, Austria, in January and the Olympic downhill last month. Miller finished third and eighth, respectively, when the best of his skiing was good enough to win, and his practice runs left some racers awe-struck. Here on Wednesday, Millers final downhill performance this season followed the same pattern. He led at the final time split -- 0.30 faster than eventual winner Matthias Mayer of Austria, the Olympic champion -- yet a mistake near the end took him wide into rough snow which slowed him. "These errors arent little bobbles, they are like borderline catastrophic," Miller explained. "(Wednesday) I just got so broken down about halfway down the course I didnt even care anymore. I wanted to stop. I didnt even really tuck through the finish line." Even standing up straight, he still placed eighth just 0.62 back. "I really wanted to change that today just because I think thats not the way to race," Miller acknowledged. "I just wanted to really stay focused to push every hundredth out of it that I could, even though I knew I was going to be out of the course a few times." "I felt good about battling through it," said the veteran racer, who has started a total of 32 World Cup and Olympics events this season after sitting out a year to recover from knee surgery. One incentive for returning strong next season is to race at the Feb. 2-15 world championships in front of home fans at Vail-Beaver Creek, Colorado. Thats for next season, after the current campaign closes with a giant slalom on Saturday. "Right now," Miller said, "I feel like I dont want to see ski boots for a little while." Aaron Altherr Jersey . The traditional pre-Masters event was halted early due to inclement weather. Harrington, who tied for first in 2003 and won in 2004, became the first three-time champion of the event. Greg Luzinski Jersey . Hamilton signed offensive linemen Mike Filer, Joel Reinders, Landon Rice and Carson Rockhill. http://www.baseballphilliesofficial.com/tim-mccarver-jersey-c-15/ . Ricciardos exclusion from the results tarnished what had been a day of celebration for local fans, who were jubilant that the Red Bull driver had apparently become the first Australian to finish on the podium at his home race. However just before midnight, stewards ruled that Ricciardos car had "exceeded consistently the maximum allowed fuel flow" and that the team refused an instruction from the races technical delegate Charlie Whiting to change the fuel-flow sensor before the race and a further request during the race to reduce the fuel flow.Melbourne, Australia (SportsNetwork.com) - Four-time champion Novak Djokovic, reigning titlist Stan Wawrinka and Japanese star Kei Nishikori highlighted Mondays fourth-round winners at the Australian Open. The world No. 1 Djokovic got past Luxembourg left-hander Gilles Muller 6-4, 7-5, 7-5 in Mondays nightcap at Laver Arena to reach his 23rd consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinal. The seven-time Grand Slam champion and reigning Wimbledon titlist is seeking his fourth Aussie championship in five years, having captured three straight of his four Melbourne crowns from 2011-13. Up next for the great Djokovic, who has yet to drop a set through four matches here, will be eighth-seeded big-serving Canadian Milos Raonic, who is 0-4 lifetime against the Serb. Meanwhile, the fourth-seeded Swiss slugger Wawrinka pulled out a 7-6 (7-2), 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (10-8) victory over Spaniard Guillermo Garcia-Lopez. Garcia-Lopez won the first five points of the fourth-set tiebreak and had five chances to force a fifth set at Melbourne Park, but Wawrinka saved all five before moving on. Garcia-Lopez stunned Wawrinka in the first round at last years French Open. Wawrinkas quarterfinal opponent on Wednesday will be the fifth-seeded U.S. Open runner-up Nishikori, who handled ninth-seeded former French Open finalist David Ferrer of Spain 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 on Day 8 of the fortnight. Looking ahead to his clash with Wawrinka, Nishikori said, Its going to be a really tough match because I have seen him play on TV a couple of matches. Even today he was playing really good. He can hit balls forehand, backhand -- great backhand actually. He can hit from anywhere at the back. Its going to be a tough match. But obviously Im in the quarterfinals, so no easy matches comingg up. Dave Cash Jersey. . Hopefully I can play another good match. For sure it gives me confidence that I beat him in the U.S. Open. Its not like I cant beat him. Its going to be a fun match for sure. Nishikori made history as he became the first Asian man to contest a Grand Slam final last year when he defeated three Top-10 players, including Wawrinka in five sets in the quarters, to reach the U.S. Open final. The aforementioned Raonic had to outlast 12th-seeded Spanish lefty Feliciano Lopez, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, 6-7 (7-9), 6-3, to reach the round of eight. Raonic became the first Canadian man in the Open Era to reach the Aussie Open quarters and is also the second Canadian man in history to reach three major quarterfinals, following in the footsteps of Robert Powell at Wimbledon in 1908, 10 and 12. Its great to be doing what Im doing and that it is making a difference, said Raonic. It is, I guess, part of some history, if you look really deep. But at the end of the day, at the same time, Im always pushing myself for what I want to achieve. Im always sort of looking in the mirror and saying, Thats who I have to compare myself to: to myself. The quarterfinals will commence Tuesday, as third-seeded former world No. 1 Rafael Nadal will take on seventh-seeded Tomas Berdych and sixth-seeded Andy Murray will battle heavy Aussie crowd favorite Nick Kyrgios. Nadal beat Berdych in the 2010 Wimbledon final and is 18-3 lifetime against the big Czech. The reigning French Open king Nadal is a 14-time Grand Slam champ, including an Aussie title in 2009. Hes also a two-time runner-up in Melbourne, including last year when he was stunned by Wawrinka in the final. Murray is a two-time major titlist whos lost in three Aussie Open finals.

The New York Islanders have acquired goaltender Jaroslav Halak from the Washington Capitals in exchange for the Chicago Blackhawks fourth-round pick in the 2014 NHL Draft. Haason Reddick Jersey . Halak is slated to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. The Islanders now have a two-month window in which to negotiate a new contract with the keeper before he is free to negotiate with the other 29 NHL clubs. The Slovak netminder has now been property of four different teams in the last two months. He began the season with the St. Louis Blues, but was dealt to the Buffalo Sabres as part of the package that landed the Blues Ryan Miller and Steve Ott. The Sabres flipped him to the Capitals four days later before he was able to play a game for Buffalo. In 52 games with the Blues and Capitals, Halak posted a 29-13-13 record with a 2.38 goals-against average and a .918 save percentage. The Islanders previously acquired the pick from Chicago in the trade that sent Peter Regin and Pierre-Marc Bouchard to the Blackhawks. Originally selected in the ninth round (271st overall) of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft by the Montreal Canadiens, Halak has a 144-85-29 record with a 2.38 goals-against average, a .918 save percentage and 30 shutouts between the Canadiens, Blues and Capitals. Tyrann Mathieu Jersey . As future stars prepare to make the big leap to the professional ranks, TSNs Draft Week delivers wall-to-wall coverage of both the NHL and NBA Entry Drafts, highlighted by exclusive live coverage of both events. Jermaine Gresham Jersey .In a statement released Friday, the Catalan club said the Brazil stars recovery would be monitored to determine when he can begin training again. http://www.thecardinalsshoponline.com/Youth-Corey-Peters-Cardinals-Jersey/ . The Philadelphia left fielder clubbed a tiebreaking, solo home run in the seventh inning, and the Phillies edged the Red Sox, 2-1, in the middle test of a three-game interleague series at Citizens Bank Park.The Vancouver Canucks are tied for the NHL lead in road victories and head into Tampa Bay for a date with the Lightning having won three straight behind goaltender Ryan Miller as well as strong penalty killing. Catch all the action on TSN Radio 1040 in Vancouver starting at 2:30pm pt. Vancouver (26-15-3) seeks to cap a five-game trip with a fourth straight win after beating Florida 2-1 on Monday. Miller stopped 23 shots, though his career-best scoreless streak ended at 200:45 when he conceded with 2:32 left. It was fun while it lasted but the important thing was to get the two points here and move onto Tampa, Miller said. Miller made 30 saves in Thursdays 4-0 win at Philadelphia and had 28 the next night in a 3-0 win over Carolina. He did not start when the Canucks lost 4-2 at home to the Lightning on Oct. 18, with Eddie Lack getting the nod and allowing two goals to Steven Stamkos. Clearly Vancouver is not a pretender, Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said. Those guys, theyve got a team and (theyre) cruising through the East, just shutting teams out and we know when we played them up there, although we won the game, we know there were times when they were on us pretty good. Now the question is whether Miller will start Tuesday. The earlier back-to-back on this road trip marked the first time he started both ends, and coach Willie Desjardins said he would make a decision during the morning skate. Vancouver features the leagues second-best penalty kill at 87.9 percent. That unit is at 92.5 oover the last 16 games, killing off all 11 penalties in this win streak. John Brown Jersey. Its been real good, its been good throughout the year and it makes a difference, Desjardins said. Weve put ourselves in some bad spots against some good power plays and weve been able to find a way to get out of it. The Canucks havent won four straight on the road since March 12-24, 2013. Their 15 road wins match the New York Islanders for the leagues most. I think it takes character to win on the road, Desjardins said. Tampa Bay (29-14-4) can match its longest run at home from March 17-April 8, 2006. Every win in this streak has been by one goal, including Saturdays 3-2 shootout victory over Colorado. The Lightning lead the league with 3.19 goals per game. The Lightning will start Ben Bishop, who is 3-0-0 with a 2.33 goals-against average in three starts against Vancouver. Stamkos had a four-game goal streak snapped Saturday while Tyler Johnson and Nikita Kucherov also came up empty. Stamkos is among the league leaders with 26 goals while Johnson and Kucherov each have 17. Radim Vrbata is the only Vancouver skater with at least as many as Johnson and Kucherov. He scored his team-high 18th on Monday. Canucks (55PTS) at Lightning (62PTS) TB is 1-0-0 vs VAN this season, winning in VAN TB has won 3 straight vs VAN TB (29-14-4): won 7 straight at home, 12GA, 20/21 on PK Stamkos (5G) last 5GP VAN (26-15-3): won 3 straight, all on the road, 1GA Hansen (1G, 2A) 3 game PT streak Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '

Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork. Shawn Lauvao Jersey .com) - I dont make New Years resolutions. Sure, there is a lot in my life that needs changing, especially from a physical stand point, but I wont adhere to it. Im like everyone else - Jan. 2 - 5 life will be good, but after, itll return to habit. Change isnt my strong suit, either. Im a status quo guy, who can improvise when needed, but enjoys regimented planning. However, in the spirit of embracing change, Ive decided to incorporate the New Years resolution into my life ... with a twist. I wont be making any, rather, these are resolutions for all 30 NBA teams. Take this as solid advice for the remainder of this season and beyond. WASHINGTON WIZARDS - RELY on Paul Pierce. The reason hes there is to help get them over the hump and so far, the results are there. Hes scoring the same as last season, hes defending decently still and hes leading. John Wall and Bradley Beal are the stars, but Pierce will be the one to do something large if Washington makes any noise in the postseason. MIAMI HEAT - SHOW pride. Things were going to be bumpy this season when LeBron bolted South Beach, but this group should not be five games under .500. They rank 27th in scoring and 30th in rebounding. Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade both missed time and Josh McRoberts is done for the season, but this team shouldnt be 10-12 in this Eastern Conference. SAN ANTONIO SPURS - HEAL. Again, I believe the Spurs are in some trouble this season (http://tinyurl.com/oj55w4d), but a healthy Kawhi Leonard and Tony Parker are essential for any kind of run. Tim Duncans minutes need to decrease, but this team is capable of a strong stretch to give itself breathing room. They need to be healthy. INDIANA PACERS - TRADE pieces. The bench is performing extraordinarily well right now, so trade while the value is highest. To me, everyone on this roster can be had. Theyre professional playing this kind of defense without hope for any sort of meaningful run this season. Luis Scola, C.J. Miles, C.J. Watson, Lavoy Allen, George Hill and even David West could all be had for the right price. HOUSTON ROCKETS - CREATE consistent rotations. With the acquisitions of Josh Smith, Corey Brewer and Joey Dorsey, the Rockets are building some decent depth. When Terrence Jones comes back, theyll have a legitimate 10-man rotation. Kevin McHale should stick with it and bring consistency to the Rockets. PHOENIX SUNS - ACQUIRE a star. The Suns have a lot of nice pieces and fringe stars like Eric Bledsoe, Goran Dragic, Isaiah Thomas and the Morris twins. Alex Len is an emerging prospect. The biggest thing keeping the Suns from contending (other than defense), is the lack of a superstar. Phoenix has assets to move, including Dragic. Hes a free agent at seasons end and hes really playing incredible ball of late. Dragic could fetch a high price if the Suns dont believe theyll re-sign him. Who that superstar might be is more confusing since so few are available. ORLANDO MAGIC - FIND players to go with the core. Nikola Vucevic, Victor Oladipo and Tobias Harris form the nucleus in Orlando. Elfrid Payton is the leader of the future and Aaron Gordon barely got going before injury. These players are a great start, but none is the breakout star needed to succeed in the NBA at the moment. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS - BEG anyone to take Lance Stephenson. Their defensive efficiency has tailed off from last seasons surprising playoff run, but Stephensons presence has done more harm than good. Include a first-rounder down the line, or maybe even Noah Vonleh, or Cody Zeller to sweeten the deal. I wouldnt want to give up either player, but Stephenson is going to be very tough to deal. He has a bit of a reputation and this season is not changing it. Kudos to him for having one of the more painful-sounding injuries in 2014 - sprained pelvis. BROOKLYN NETS - KEEP Deron Williams coming off the bench. Lionel Hollins showed moxy keeping Brook Lopez and Williams as reserves when they returned from injury. Facts are facts. Mason Plumlee and Jarrett Jack are playing better than their much higher-compensated friends. Lopez started recently when Kevin Garnett didnt go, and Lopez starting again is fine with me. Williams is a sad shell of his former self. He makes a billion dollars, so trading him will be tougher than a diner steak. Keep him with the second unit. The growing trend of teams not worrying about finances when it comes to basketball decisions is refreshing. MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES - SCOUR available wing options. Jeff Van Gundy said it a few weeks ago during an ESPN broadcast - the Grizzlies need a better wing scoring option to truly contend. Tony Allen is a defensive stud. Courtney Lee is sold at best. Vince Carter and Tayshaun Prince have been really good of late, but cant be relied on for too much at the points in their career. Marc Gasol and Mike Conley are playing at unbelievable rates and Memphis may never have a better chance at a ring. Gasol is a free agent this summer and could very easily leave. This is easier said than done since the Memphis doesnt have much to entice trade partners with outside of BBQ and the blues. But the lack of a prominent scoring wing player could keep them from a Finals appearance. OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER - RELOCATE Kevin Durant to a protective bubble. This team is going to click massively. Durant and Russell Westbrook have been sensational when healthy of late. They are angry and ready to go. Keep Durant healthy the rest of the way, and I think OKC could get as high as fifth in the Western Conference. This team is very, very good. DETROIT PISTONS - AVOID injury during self-congratulation. The Pistons displayed incredible chutzpah in releasing Josh Smith with two years and $25 million on the deal. (Stretch provision was a Gods send.) They are 3-0 since releasing Smith. The group of Greg Monroe/Andre Drummond/Kyle Singler/Kentavious Caldwell-Pope/Brandon Jennings has won all three by double figures. There are clear jobs and clear positions. Couldnt be working out better for Detroit. NEW ORLEANS PELICANS - CONSIDER depth in the future. The Pelicans wagered a lot to make the playoffs now, which I still havent fully understood. What happened was the team had six really solid pros in Anthony Davis (biggest star in the league at the moment), Omer Asik (much lower on that list), Tyreke Evans, Jrue Holiday, Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon. One went down, and now underachievers like Austin Rivers and Jimmer Fredette have to play key roles. The Pelicans are solid, but no threat as presently constituted. I still say this plan ultimately fails because risking so much of the future on Holiday was not wise in a big-picture way. CLEVELAND CAVALIERS - SPA. If ever there was an NBA team that needed to get away and relax, its the Cavs. LeBron and Kevin Love can get massages for their bad backs. They should go far away and avoid whats being said and written about them. This group will be fine, although the takes time to jell argument is losing traction. I still believe, but without some roster tweaking, this group isnt title-ready. They need size and overall depth. TORONTO RAPTORS - HIRE a PR group to hype Kyle Lowry as an MVP candidate. He fits every criteria - great team, best player on that team, great numbers. Lowry also carried his team through a devastating injury to the best player - DeMar DeRozan. Steph Curry, Anthony Davis and James Harden are the top candidates to date. Curry has way better personnel around him. Davis wont be there in the end because of New Orleans record. Harden is my guy and what I like is how he played and led the team when Dwight Howard was out with a knee injury. Its no different, in fact, more successful, with Lowry in Toronto. LOS ANGELES LAKERS - REST Kobe. After a week off, Bryant played two games and averaged 16.5 ppg, 9.5 apg and 9.0 rpg. The Lakers actually won one of those games. Bryants shooting was killing the Lakers. They had no choice but to play him that much, however, he needs rest. It would easier to sit him if there were some youngsters that could get some seasoning from playing, but LA didnt build its roster that way. The Lakers are a disaster, but extending Kobe like Byron Scott was doing, didnt benefit Bryant or the team. Kobe came back, spread the wealth and the team played better. Basketball is simple some times. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS - STAY strong. The only thing that can derail the Warriors at this point is themselves. A few veterans gladly stepped aside and left Harrison Barnes and Draymond Green to starting roles. Andre Iguodala, David Lee, or Marreese Speights could make waves about playing time. But, theyre all getting along beautifully and winning. The Warriors have to stay that way when things begin to go south. Things happen during a season, but if Golden State stays together, it should be around deep into the postseason. DENVER NUGGETS - FIRE Brian Shaw. Hes unhappy, the teams unhappy and it just looks bad in Denver. Start anew. Shaw doesnt want to play the way thats best for how this roster is constructed. Its a bad fit. CHICAGO BULLS - PAY Jimmy Butler. Its possible hes a top-five two-way player already. Butlers scoring has exploded this season and hes become the Bulls best talent. Derrick Roses health is always an issue. Pau Gasol has been great, but hes not Butler great. Joakim Noah appears to have difficulty fitting in with Gasol. Butler has emerged from all of it. Im in the group that believes Chicago will be extremely difficult to beat if healthy this summer. I believe Butler is the biggest reason why. He wants max money and thats tricky. The Bulls will have to dump some salary to make it happen, which means, Taj Gibson probably has to go. Its a steep price, but for a 25- year-old, 20-point scoring, lock-down defending son of a gun, its what the Bulls will have to pay. PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS - DEVELOP a bench. The second unit has been much better this season, but they are still 25th in minutes and scoring. LaMarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard both rank in the top 10 in minutes per game. Robin Lopez is still out a while. If Chris Kaman, Steve Blake and C.J. McCollum can give them important minutes, itll help the starting group try to advance in the playoffs. ATLANTA HAWKS - FOLLOW every step listed for the Trail Blazers. Their starting unit of Paul Millsap/DeMarre Carroll/Al Horford/Kyle Korver/Jeff Teague have been playing too much of late. This Hawks team came out of virtually nowhere to rival the Raptors for the best record in the Eastern Conference. Head coach Mike Budenholzer may feel compelled to overly rely on the starters to maintain that pace. He has to remember his first five isnt as young as Portlands. Atlanta is playing with house money at this point, but if its a real contender (I dont think they are), then the bench needs to play much better. NEW YORK KNICKS - SHUT down Carmelo Anthony. Why is he still out there? Hes a pro thats why, but if hes eventually going to need knee surgery, have it tomorrow and forget this season. Its been a disaster and theres no recovering from it now. Finish out the string and get Melo well for next season. The Knicks will be major players in free agency. Get a better pick to go with whatever core is formed. Anthony has nothing to gain by lacing it up out there anymore. DALLAS MAVERICKS - PRACTICE hard. The Rajon Rondo acquisition is a game- changer, but itll take time. This group needs to play as much as possible together to build those on-court relationships. Rondo is smart enough to figure things out. This is an elite offensive team who can defend, but its not a strength. They are pros and veterans, so work on that chemistry and theyll be a trendy Finals pick. BOSTON CELTICS - BUILD Marcus Smart into a dominant, two-way combo guard. Evan Turner and Jameer Nelson are not long-term answers at the point guard spot. Smart is, but if he builds a strong offensive game as a shooting guard, where he can score more than distribute, itll help in the long run. Avery Bradley has locked up one spot in the backcourt. Hes an underrated combo guard. Molding Smart in the same way will provide Boston with versatility and flexibility. MILWAUKEE BUCKS - REMAIN unselfish. The Bucks are one of the best stories of the 2014-15 campaign, despite losing Jabari Parker for the season with a torn ACL. Theyd have more of a feel-goodness to them if people didnt hate Jason Kidd for his stint in Brooklyn. Milwaukee leads the NBA in bench minutes and bench points. Thats helping them win games and its not stunting Giannis Antetokounmpos growth. Guys fall out the rotation for a little while in Milwaukee, but Kidd brings them back and they perform. Its a solid group of youngsters and Kidd is much better suited for that sort of team than a high- profile squad of veterans. MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES - REALIZE blessings in disguise. The Timberwolves will trade Kevin Martin as soon as humanly possible. Ricky Rubio went down with injury. Same for Nikola Pekovic. Corey Brewer was traded for almost nothing. The decision was made to go with Andrew Wiggins, Shabazz Muhammad and Zack LaVine. The results arent good on the court, but Minny is another example of a team that should have had zero expectations. The T-wolves season should be about development. Playing these pups is excellent for the future of the Timberwolves organization. They even look decent. SACRAMENTO KINGS - GET it together. The Kings are 3-6 since abruptly firing head coach Mike Malone. DeMarcus Cousins appeared disinterested at times and even regressed into old ways, getting into a fight with Bostons Marcus Smart. They nearly blew a double-digit fourth-quarter lead on Thursday to the lowly Wolves. Its time for Cousins, Rudy Gay and Darren Collison to say, I dont know whats going around here, but I know we can do better. Owner Vivek Ranadive made a decision to fire Malone so the team could take the next step. It hasnt worked. There needs to be leadership in this organization. Someone needs to show it. Someone needs to pull this group together. LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS - IMPROVE that bench. The Clippers have been a disappointment. There are reports of discontent in the locker room, which was surprising. (I found them to be one of the tightest groups I witnessed last season.) The bottom line is the Clippers have a starting lineup and head coach that can win a title. Their bench is hideous, especially up front. Jamal Crawford is the reigning Sixth Man of the Year, but outside of him, theres little. Spencer Hawes has been hurt, but nothing special when healthy. Glen Davis and Hedo Turkoglu are past their relevance. Doc Rivers has to be creative in trying to find frontcourt bench help. PHILADELPHIA 76ERS - PLAY Joel Embiid if he can go this season. When Nerlens Noel missed all of the 2013-14 campaign, the Sixers rebuilt his shooting form and basically everything basketball-related to his game. Thats not the case for Embiid. He NBA ready, at least in terms of his skills. Plus, if Embiid can go, the Sixers owe this fan base something to look forward to and hes it. Hes really the center piece. Its not like Embiid playing for three weeks at the end of the season is going to cost them the worst record. Josh Doctson Jersey . - This win was more the New Jersey Devils style.

Now comes an off-season of questions about manager Matt Williams decisions and a handful of key roster choices, including what to do about Ryan Zimmerman, whether to sign Jordan Zimmermann and Ian Desmond to long-term deals, and how to upgrade an offence that fell flat in October.CUIABA, Brazil -- Chile capitalized on a sluggish start by Australia to earn a 3-1 win in their World Cup opener on Friday, with Alexis Sanchez carrying over his prolific form for Barcelona with a goal and assist for the dangerous tournament outsiders. Sanchez -- a potential star of the World Cup -- poked home from close range in the 12th minute, before setting up Jorge Valdivia barely a minute later for the playmaker to finish from the edge of the area. A young Australia team, written off by most before a ball had been kicked, looked in danger of falling apart but the experienced Tim Cahill brought them back into the game with a trademark header in the 35th. Cahill, dominant in the air throughout, had several chances to equalize before and after halftime as Chile slipped off the pace in muggy conditions in Cuiaba. But a drilled, low shot by substitute Jean Beausejour settled the match in the second minute of injury time, sending the Chilean bench running onto the pitch and making fans set off fireworks. Chile moved level with Netherlands, which thrashed Spain 5-1 earlier Friday, and has a chance to eliminate the reigning champions when they meet in their next Group B game on Wednesday. "They have a superlative history in (major tournaments) so we definitely will have to play better than we did today," Chile coach Jorge Sampaoli said. "It will certainly be an electrifying game." Boasting its best ever squad for a World Cup, Chile has been strongly tipped by many -- including Pele -- to go far in Brazil despite being thrown in the same group as two of Europes top teams. And the Spanish, ripped apart by the Dutch in Salvador, will not be relishing playing Sampaolis side with their title defence on the line. Especially with Sanchez in this formm. Rob Kelley Jersey. The 25-year-old forward is coming off his best season at Camp Nou -- having scored 21 goals, 19 in the league -- and he was too much for a flimsy Australia defence in the first half. Sanchez was on hand to guide in a close-range finish inside the near post after Australia captain Mile Jedinak failed to head clear Charles Aranguizs cross. The celebrations had hardly died down when Sanchez span his marker and laid the ball across for Valdivia to finish high into the net from 20 yards (meters). "Early on, we were probably just overawed by the whole thing," Australia coach Ange Postecoglou said. "In the end, we gave away a two-goal start and thats what killed us." It was already looking like a damage-limitation exercise for the beleaguered Socceroos, the lowest-ranked nation in Brazil. The raucous Chilean fans were regaling their teams crisp passing with chants "Ole" and a no-look backheel from Sanchez highlighted his confidence. But Chiles momentum was punctured when Cahill, renowned for his tremendous jumping ability, leapt above diminutive marker Gary Medel to thump home a header from a right-wing cross. He had a header ruled out for a marginal offside and squandered other chances before Beausejour ended Australias hopes of a comeback. "They got in twice," Cahill said. "(But) after that you could see their legs were going. We knew we could get something out of this game. We stood up strong. Its just unfortunate, not a lot went our way tonight, and it showed." Capping a satisfying night overall for Chile was the sight of star midfielder Arturo Vidal starting and playing 59 minutes on his return from knee surgery. "He was very good," Sampaoli. "His knee is good." Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '

CLEVELAND -- Lucky in the NBA lottery, the Cavaliers are hoping their good fortune continues as they look for a new coach. Marreese Speights Jersey . The team asked the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday for permission to speak with assistant coach Alvin Gentry about Clevelands coaching vacancy, a person familiar with the situation told the Associated Press. Gentry, who has coached four other franchises, has not yet set up a meeting with the Cavs, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the team is not commenting on its search. The sides are working through some details, and are expected to meet in the next few days. Earlier this week, the Cavs defied long odds to win the draft lottery for the second year in a row and third time in four years. Cleveland is seeking its third coach in three years after Mike Brown was fired -- for the second time by owner Dan Gilbert -- last week following a 33-49 season. Gentry worked previously in Phoenix with Cavaliers general manager David Griffin, who said there is no timetable to hire a new coach. "We do not feel this is a race," he said. "This is not about being first. This is about getting it right. At the same time, if the right candidate did meet the criteria that we set out and is available and is as interested in us as we are in them, we would act on it at the time it presented itself." The Cleveland Plain Dealer was first to report the Cavs intentions to interview Gentry. The Cavs are not limiting themselves to coaches with pro experience and are expected to reach out to college coaches. Having the No. 1 overall pick has certainly made them a more attractive destination. However, Gilberts penchant for firing GMs and coaches would have to make any candidate at least hesitant about coming to Cleveland. Brown was told to make the Cavs better defensively, and did so as the team went from last in the league in defensive field-goal percentage to 12th. Still, that wasnt enough as Cleveland missed the playoffs for the fourth year in a row. Gentry has solid qualifications and is believed to be a candidate for other openings. He has a 335-370 record in 12 seasons with Miami, Detroit, the Clippers and Phoenix. He led the Pistons and Suns to the post-season. Griffin said he hopes to find a coach more attuned to his offensive roots. With the team expected to land one of the best players in what is considered a deep draft along with All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving and guard Dion Waiters, the Cavs could have the core for a high-scoring team. "Ive had a primarily offensive based focus with the people I was raised by," Griffin said. "And I think its fair to say the Cavaliers have had a defensive focus. What excited me most about coming here is that I believe you find the truth in the middle. No franchise thats incredibly well run is all one thing. We need to find a way to speak to the best of all parts of the offensive background I know, the defensive background thats dyed in the wool of this franchise. "Ownership believes in defence, I believe in offence, and theres a truth in the middle. Were going to find that." ------ AP Sports Writer Jon Krawczynski in Minneapolis contributed to this report.

"It was a little weird looking over and seeing all the green uniforms," he said of his first game against the Boston Celtics.BALTIMORE -- Left-handed reliever Troy Patton returned from his 25-game suspension Thursday, part of a roster shuffle by the Baltimore Orioles that included the activation of Manny Machado from the 15-day disabled list. Patton was placed on the restricted list testing positive for a banned amphetamine. Patton took Adderall, a drug commonly used to combat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, late in the 2013 season and then was given a random drug test. The suspension cost him $174,180 of his $1,275,000 salary. Patton went 2-0 with a 3.70 ERA in a career-high 56 appearances for the Orioles last year. He made four rehab appearances with Triple-A Norfolk. To make room for Patton, the Orioles sent reliever Josh Stinson outright to Norfolk. Machado hadnt played since left knee surgery on Oct. 14. The third baseman was not in the lineup for the first game of a doubleheader against Pittsburgh on Thursday, but manager Buck Showalter said Machado would start in the nightcap. Machado was poised to return Tuesday, but rain postponed Baltimores game against the Pirates. The same thing happened Wednesday, creating the need for a single-admission doubleheader. "Manny wasnt going to play 18 innings first day back from rehab," Showalter said. "We could have waited to activate him, but we would use him in the first game if the right situation presented itself." The 21-year-oldd Machado takes the roster spot vacated by first baseman Chris Davis, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday with a strained left oblique. Nikola Vucevic Jersey. Davis had a platelet rich plasma injection on Monday. "What they do is they draw your own blood and spin it, then they take the platelets and inject them back into your body," Davis said. "Its supposed to speed up the healing process and take the place of a cortisone shot." Davis believes the treatment was having the desired effect. "I had (the shot) on Monday. It was pretty painful," he said. "Tuesday I was sore and Wednesday I was sore. Today I feel better. Hopefully I am recovering and it will heal." Davis led the majors last year with 53 homers and 138 RBIs. Hes gotten off to a slow start this season -- he has only two home runs -- but hopes to return soon to add to the total. "I got off to my hottest start ever last year so there was a lot of excitement," he said. "I knew it was probably not going to happen again. But I felt like I was getting good at-bats and making things happen." Also Thursday, the Orioles optioned infielder Steve Lombardozzi to Norfolk to make room for first baseman Steve Pearce, who was signed to a major league contract Tuesday after being designated for assignment last week. Lombardozzi batted .292 in 19 games this season. Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '

HOUSTON -- The Houston Astros arent getting too ahead of themselves after opening the season 2-0. Earnest Byner Jersey . Still, taking the first series of the year from the New York Yankees is a pretty big deal for a team that has lost 324 games in the last three seasons combined. "Obviously no one expected us to come in here and win a series from the Yankees and no one really expected much from the Astros period," starting pitcher Jarred Cosart said. "If we keep playing together like this and keep finding ways to win games, who knows what can happen." Dexter Fowler homered and tripled, and Matt Dominguez added a home run late to help the Astros earn a 3-1 victory on Wednesday night. Houston won the opener 6-2 on Tuesday and put a damper on the first series of Derek Jeters final season. Jeter was 0 for 3 with a walk and a strikeout. "They played well, they pitched well today," Jeter said. "It would be nice to score some more runs, but sometimes the other teams are going to have games like that." Fowlers leadoff homer put Houston up, and he scored the second run after his triple in the third. The Yankees scored in the seventh before the Astros added an insurance run with Dominguezs homer in the bottom half. Cosart (1-0) allowed four hits in five scoreless innings, and Josh Fields pitched a perfect ninth for the save. Hiroki Kuroda (0-1) yielded three hits and two runs with five strikeouts in six innings. The off-season trade for Fowler has paid immediate dividends for Houston. The longtime Colorado player had a pair of doubles on Tuesday and is now the first player in franchise history with two extra-base hits in each of his first two games with the team. "Being a leadoff guy youre a catalyst, and thats what Im always trying to do, just get on base and let the other guys do their jobs," Fowler said. "If we work together as a team well win a lot of games." Fowler had a lucky charm on Wednesday night as his infant daughter Naya Iman, attended her first regular-season game. "It was awesome," he said breaking into a huge smile at the mention of his daughter. "I was looking for them, but I didnt see them. Shes probably in there sleeping. Just for her being here is awesome, thats all you can ask for." The Astros were up 2-0 in the seventh when Yangervis Solarte grounded into a double play, with runners at first and third, and Brett Gardner scored on to cut the Yankees deficit in half. It was the first major league plate appearance for Solarte. The two-out homer by Dominguez off David Phelps landed about three rows up in the right field stands to stretch Houstons advantage to 3-1. Carlos Beltran doubled off Matt Albers on the first pitch of the eighth inning before Albers struck out the next three Yankees. Cosart allowed just two singles through four innings. He ran into some trouble in the fifth, and after consecutive one-out singles by Gardner and Brian Roberts. He escaped the jam when Kelly Johnson grounded into a force out before he retired Jacoby Ellsbury. Jerome Williams made his Astros debut when he replaced Cosart for the sixth. He walked Jeter on four pitches, and Brian McCann singled on a sharp grounder with one out to leave runners at first and third. But he retired the next two to end the threat. Albers, Williams and Chad Qualls have performed in the first two games after being brought in to reinforce a bullpen which blew 29 saves last season. New York went 0 for 10 with runners in scoring position, but Beltran said its too early to be concerned about the offence. "Were going to be fine," Beltran said. "We havent been able to put anything together, but this team has what it takes to play better and win ball games. We dont need to worry about it." Fowlers leadoff homer came a day after he started his Astros career with a leadoff double. Houstons next hit came on Fowlers standup triple that bounced off the wall in right-centre with one out in the third. Robbie Grossman reached on an error by first baseman Teixeira when his grounded bounced off Teixeiras glove, allowing Fowler to score and make it 2-0. New York turned a double play to end that inning, and Houston didnt have another baserunner until Grossman hit his first career triple with one out in the sixth. But Kuroda ended his night by retiring the next two to end the inning and leave Grossman stranded. The Yankees intentionally walked Jose Altuve to load the bases with two outs in the eighth. Houston came up empty when pinch-hitter Carlos Corporan grounded out. NOTES: Andy Pettitte threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the game. ... Jeter, who announced in February that he was retiring, got a pair of cowboy boots with Yankees pinstripes, a 10 gallon cowboy hat, and a set of golf clubs as the Astros honoured him in a pregame ceremony.

LOS ANGELES -- Mike DAntonis "Marshall plan" worked to perfection on a night when the Lakers coach didnt have any other choice. Pavel Datsyuk Jersey . Pau Gasol had 23 points and 17 rebounds, and injury-riddled Los Angeles used its sixth different starting point guard of the season in a 110-99 victory over the Utah Jazz on Friday night. Kendall Marshall was given the assignment by DAntoni, who has used 18 different starting lineups this season. He was the 14th player to start a game for the Lakers overall, finishing with 20 points and 15 assists in 40 minutes -- all career highs. "Ive got to give all the thanks to my teammates. They did a great job of helping me out, as well as the coaches," Marshall said. "When were knocking down shots and playing defence, that makes it really easy on me." Marshalls other three starts in the NBA came last season with Phoenix, and the Suns lost all three games despite his 37 assists. He spent 2 1/2 weeks with the Delaware 87ers of the D-League before the Lakers signed him on Dec. 20. "Everything happens for a reason, so Im thankful for the position Im in right now and I want to make the most of it with this team," he said. Marshall began his freshman season at North Carolina as a backup point guard to Larry Drew II, before coach Roy Williams made him a starter. In one game, he had 16 assists to help beat Florida State. As a sophomore, he set an ACC single-season record with 351 assists. "One thing I do take pride in is being a leader," Marshall said. "It definitely felt like I was back at Carolina, just the way that we were playing tonight. There were a lot of similarities. We were getting up and down the floor, and Im excited about it. But the thing Im most excited about is starting the year with a win." The victory snapped a six-game losing streak for the Lakers, who concluded a four-game stretch against teams that are last in their respective divisions. Gordon Hayward scored 22 points for the Jazz. They never led in their rematch with the Lakers -- which came a week after Derrick Favours putback dunk with 2.1 seconds remaining beat them 105-103 at Salt Lake City and snapped Utahs four-game home losing streak. Gasol missed that game in Utah because of a respiratory infection, joining Kobe Bryant, Steve Blake and Steve Nash on a lengthy infirmary list that also has included Jordan Farmar, Xavier Henry, Wesley Johnson and Chris Kaman. Johnson was back in the lineup and was the first player off DAntonis depleted bench, getting 11 points in 22 minutes after missing Tuesdays game because of gastroenteritis. Trailing by 21 points with 4 minutes left in the third quarter, Utah narrowed the gap to 90-86 with a 19-7 run capped by Enes Kanters short jumper with 4:47 to play. But Nick Young responded with a 20-footer to ignite a game-ending 16-9 run that was highlighted by 3-pointers 30 seconds apart by Jodie Meeks and Marshall. "I thought we had opportunities," Utah coach Tyrone Corbin said. "I respect our guys for the way they fought back after we got ourselves in a big hole. We really cant afford to do that, especially on the road." Gasol led the Lakers to a 52-40 halftime lead with 16 points and eight rebounds, while Marshall had nine assists and seven points. Utah, trying for its first three-game winning streak of the season after beating Charlotte and Milwaukee at home, missed 12 of its first 15 shots while Los Angeles opened the game with a 19-6 run. "It seems like when Kobe comes back, were going to have a lot of guys coming back. ..." DAntoni said. "Hopefully we can stay within striking distance to at least give ourselves a chance going down the stretch and try to salvage the season." NOTES: With Bryant not close to returning from his fractured left knee, the Lakers already have been bumped from two nationally scheduled telecasts on the original cable schedule -- Jan. 8 at Houston (ESPN) and Jan. 20 at Chicago (TNT). ... The Jazz already have lost a league-worst 19 games by double-digit margins, just two fewer than they did all of last season. ... Utah, which came in 17th in the league in 3-point shooting percentage at 34.9, came up empty on its first nine attempts from behind the arc before Richard Jefferson connected with 4:04 left in the second quarter. Jimmy Howard Jersey .This one was bigger than most.Ben Roethlisberger and LeVeon Bell came up big in a game that Pittsburgh had to win Sunday, leading the Steelers to a 42-21 drubbing of the Cincinnati Bengals that left the AFC North race wide open.

The Asheville, N.C. native, who signed as a free agent with the CFL club last May, didnt see any action with Edmonton this season after opening the year on the injured list.Every NFL season offers much to marvel at or laugh about, and plenty of chances to shake our heads in befuddled wonderment.That final description certainly fits the mind-numbing off-field news that plagued the league this year, beginning in the preseason with the Ray Rice case. For anyone who hasnt had enough of that stuff, look elsewhere.These offbeat awards will recognize the good, bad and ugly on the field.BEST GAME: Green Bay 26, New England 21, in a possible Super Bowl preview. Aaron Rodgers outdueled Tom Brady, although the difference might have been the Packers defence. On the Patriots final series, rookie safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix blanketed Rob Gronkowski on a deep pass on second down. Brady was sacked on third down, Stephen Gostkowski missed a 47-yard field goal, and the host Packers ran out the clock.Runner-up: San Diego 38, San Francisco 35. In Week 16, the Chargers rallied from a 21-point hole in the second half. Philip Rivers hit Malcom Floyd for an 11-yard TD to tie it, and Nick Novak kicked a 40-yard field goal in overtime after a Niners fumble.WORST GAME: Atlanta 56, Tampa Bay 14. A nationally televised Thursday night debacle in September, the worst performance by the Buccaneers, which is saying something considering they are 2-13 now. The Falcons led 35-0 before the Buccaneers picked up a first down. Atlantas offensive starters left after Steven Jacksons 3-yard touchdown run made it 49-0 before the midway point of the third quarter.Runner-up: Jets 16, Titans 11. The only such final score in NFL history. Hopefully the action from this game will quickly be forgotten.BEST PLAY OF THE YEAR: It didnt win the game, and wound up being not particularly impactful in the grand scheme for his team. Yet Odell Beckham Jr.s phenomenal three-fingered touchdown catch while falling backward into the end zone against Dallas cant be topped.When Im standing on the sidelines, Im rooting for him all the way, coach Tom Coughlin said. When I get to Monday, sometimes I run it back an extra time.Runners-up: This one did win a game. Vikings rookie LB Anthony Barr chased down Bucs TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins, stripped the ball and took it 27 yards for a touchdown in overtime and a 19-13 victory.And Beast Mode 2, Marshawn Lynchs sensational 79-yard touchdown run for Seattle against Arizona in Week 16.WORST PLAY OF THE YEAR: Figures it would be the Raiders. WR James Jones fumbled twice on one play vs. Houston. He lost the ball, picked it up and started running again, only to be stripped a second time and the Texans recovered.Runner-up: A tie between Chicago DE LaMarr Houston and Detroit LB Stephen Tulloch. Each tore an ACL on sack celebrations.BIGGEST SURPRISE (PLAYER): The Ravens were in a dire situation after Rices suspension andd injuries/mediocre play by his replacement, Bernard Pierce. Luke Witkowski Jersey. In stepped a true journeyman, Justin Forsett, and hes been magical, juicing up the Baltimore offence with a combination of the steady and the spectacular.Runner-up: Detroit safety Glover Quin, like Forsett a former Texan, and like Forsett, a journeyman who has found a home, solidifying the Lions secondary.BIGGEST SURPRISE (TEAM): Only because they were expected to head directly south from their recent string of 8-8 finishes, it has to be the Cowboys. Rather than plummet despite an undertalented defence and questionable coaching, Dallas has surged to the NFC East title, possibly a first-round playoff bye.Runner-up: Buffalo. No, the Bills wont snap their league-high streak of non-playoff seasons, now at 15. But they wont have a losing record, either, and made their future look brighter for once.BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT (PLAYER): Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III, although we very much want to give him some slack. Griffin still doesnt appear fully recovered from his knee woes, and other injuries have slowed him. That said, RG3 struggles with too many fundamentals, including footwork — odd for a guy with Olympic running skills.Runner-up: Saints safety Jairus Byrd, their top off-season signing, had no interceptions through four games and then went on injured reserve (knee).BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT (TEAM): Da Bears. Dysfunctional as they come, the Bears were the fashionable pick as a rising team this season. Instead, they flopped so badly a total housecleaning could be in order.Runner-up: San Francisco, which because of front-office discord is about to lose the best coach it has had since Bill Walsh.BEST PLAY-BY-PLAY ANNOUNCER (TV): Mike Tirico, ESPN. We should just rename this award for the top, by far, play-by-play guy on TV, regardless of the sport. Tirico especially shines on the NFL, where his understanding of the game and, especially, its nuances and rules — from the obvious to the obscure — serves the viewer. So does his brutal honesty, something rare among NFL broadcasters.Runner-up: Kevin Harlan, CBS. Also give a listen to him on Westwood Ones radiocasts of national games. Hes so descriptive you feel as if you are in the stadium.BEST ANALYST (TV): Rich Gannon, CBS. Want to know how and why something happened? Gannon provides it.Who messed up and who performed above and beyond? Gannon provides it.Some humour? That, too.And he works Sunday games with Harlan — a duo worthy of being the networks top team.Runner-up: Now that both of them are willing to criticize when its called for, Jon Gruden (ESPN) and Troy Aikman (Fox) deserve recognition for their strong work.___Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. Rafinha Jersey . - Nobody expected Julio Jones and Roddy White to be a weak link in the Atlanta Falcons offence.The former Pro Bowl receivers are having unforeseen problems holding onto the football and running crisp routes.All my career Ive made those plays and right now Im not making them, White said Thursday. Its frustrating for me because I feel like Im letting my team down in certain circumstances.When the Falcons (2-4) visit Baltimore (4-2) this weekend, they will bring a running game thats inconsistent for the second straight year and a once-dependable passing attack that struggles to make basic plays.Jones and White, both seemingly healthy after an injury-filled 2013, blame themselves for multiple drops.They each had two in last weeks home loss to Chicago. Levine Toilolo, a second-year tight end who replaced legendary Tony Gonzalez, had three and leads the league with six drops in 21 targets this season.We are taking it upon ourselves, me and Roddy, Jones said. We hold ourselves accountable for those dropped passes. The defenders didnt have anything to do with it. It was just lack of focus and concentration by us.The offence is also without No. 3 receiver Harry Douglas, who was sidelined from practice again Thursday and is likely to miss his fourth straight game with an injured foot.With a broken foot ending Jones season last year after five games and White affected by ankle and hamstring injuries, Douglas caught a career-high 85 passes and surpassed 1,000 yards receiving for the first time.Hes in so many personnel groupings and hes really good on the inside and seam routes, White said. Were missing a whole lot with his ability to kind of control the middle of the field. Hopefully we can get him back, if not this week then next week, and well be a whole lot better team.Douglas absence hurts, but the miscues by Jones and White seem worse because both have been elite players at their position.Jones, the No. 6 overall draft pick of 2011, is a tough matchup for defenders when hes healthy. Linebackers arent fast enough to cover him and defensive backs lack his strength and size.He has undergone surgery on his right foot twice in three years for essentially the same injury, but Jones insists there are no concerns with his health this year. He was limited in practice Thursday with a sore ankle.Its the fundamental elements of receiving are lacking even though he ranks second in the NFL this year in catches and third in yards receiving.I always catch everything with my hands, Jones said. No matter where its at, I try to do my best to catch it with my hands and not let the ball get into my body.White, the Falcons career leader in catches and yards receiving, is taking the setbacks personally and promises a different outcome on Sunday.He acknowledges recently taking his eyes off the ball to gauge where the coverage is. White has been thinking about the move he will make on a defender after catching a pass instead of concentrating on making the play first.Ive got to turn my game around for our team to start playing better, White said. Im a leader on this team and I havent been going out there and playing Roddy White football. Ive got to get back to being myself. Just go out there and cut it loose and whatever happens happens.The Falcons also need to get better production on the ground. A year after finishing last in rushing, they rank 20th, but they averaged just 66 yards in losses the last two weeks.Every week it seems like we take turns at different positions, you know, messing up the games and everything, White said. All 11 guys have to go out there and just do their job. Thats got to be our focus this week.Notes: WR Devin Hester (hamstring) and linebacker Prince Shembo (knee) were limited in practice. ... LG Justin Blalock (back) and DT Jonathan Babineaux (knee) participated fully after being limited on Wednesday.___Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Fagner Jersey . -- Arizona came out of its last meeting with California a bit discombobulated, hurting from its first loss and the loss of forward Brandon Ashley for the rest of the season.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Wesley Matthews Jersey . - The sprained left ankle for quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is not considered serious, and the Minnesota Vikings are optimistic the rookie will play against Green Bay despite only three days to rest for Thursday nights game.Coach Mike Zimmer said Bridgewater was feeling a lot better the day after the injury. He had an MRI test that showed no major damage.Hopeful, was Zimmers answer Monday when asked if he believes Bridgewater will be able to face the rival Packers. Bridgewater was not present for the portion of practice that was open to reporters.Bridgewater passed for 317 yards and a key 2-point conversion and rushed for 27 yards and a touchdown in his first NFL start, a 41-28 victory over Atlanta that could hardly have been better for the first-round draft pick from Louisville until his left foot rolled underneath him during a short run early in the fourth quarter.He had X-rays, which were negative, and returned to the sideline without crutches by the end of the game. The perpetually upbeat Bridgewater acknowledged Sunday the decision on whether hell play this week will be up to the coaching staff and athletic trainers, but he said he wasnt worried about his ankle as he rode off on the cart. Bridgewater said he probably could have come back in the game if it were necessary.Christian Ponder, the starter for the majority of the previous three seasons, took over but did not attempt a pass.Bridgewater has experience recovering from injury in a shortened week. He broke his left (non-throwing) wrist and sprained his right ankle during a game in 2012 against Connecticut, and the Cardinals had to play at Rutgers five days later. Bridgewater didnt start the game, but he came off the bench to throw two second-half touchdown passes to lead a Louisville rally for the win and the Big East Conferences bid in the Bowl Championship Series.Hes the toughest quarterback in the nation, one of his teammate, Preston Brown, said after that game.The Vikings, after raving over the last several months about Bridgewaters poise, athleticism and grasp of the game, will now have their first true assessment of that toughness. With Matt Cassel out for the season with a broken left foot, Ponder started the week as the only healthy quarterback on the active roster. McLeod Bethel-Thompson was signed to the practice squad last week, and Chandler Harnish was signed to the practice squad Monday.Harnish played at Northern Illinois under coach Jerry Kill, now the coach at Minnesota.The Falcons talked all week about needing to heed Bridgewaters ability to run with the ball, how that changes the entire dynamic of an offence, and he showed that on a few of his five carries.Hes a special player, running back Jerick McKinnon said.The Packers have struggled to stop the run, allowing a league-high average of 176 yards per game, and mobile quarterbacks like Colin Kaepernick and Russell Wilson have especially given them trouble in recent years. So the Vikings probably cant afford to be without one of their best assets against a Packers team that revived its offence Sunday in a 38-17 win at Chicago over the Bears.The Vikings forced back-to-back punts in the fourth quarter Sunday while trailing 28-27, but for the game the Falcons converted 10 of 15 third downs. Over the last two weeks, the Vikings have allowed 19 of 28 third-down conversions. Theyre tied for the second worst in the NFL in that category.Its terrible. Weve got a lot of work to do. Im extremely disappointed in that. Well put a lot more time and effort into it than what we have, Zimmer said.NOTES: TE Kyle Rudolphs recovery from sports hernia surgery remains on track for less than two months, reinforcing the teams decision to avoid designating him as the one player who can be put on injured reserve with intent to return each season. Rudolph said he was dealing with the injury since the beginning of training camp and had the muscle tear fixed on both sides of his abdomen. Just get it fixed now so in November, December, January, Im playing at a high level, Rudolph said. ... LB Chad Greenway was not at practice after missing the game Sunday with a broken hand and a broken rib. Zimmer said he wasnt sure if hed be ready in time to play Thursday.___Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Dirk Nowitzki Jersey .

Despite Arsenals financial firepower, the 31-year-old midfielder was the only arrival in the January transfer window. Signed until the end of the season as injury cover, Kallstrom might not be fit until mid-March after arriving Friday at Arsenal having injured his back earlier in the week while training with Spartak Moscow. ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Orlando Magic finally are showing the patience in critical moments that coach Jacque Vaughn has been waiting for all season. The Magic fought off repeated challenges from the Brooklyn Nets, many of them in the final two minutes, to claim a 115-111 victory over a playoff-bound team. It was the second win a row where Orlando executed better than its opponent in the final minutes of a close game. "Were continuing to learn at the end of games and not panic," Vaughn said. "I want these guys to enjoy what they do for a living. We come to work, we get better. Thats what we do." Arron Afflalo scored five of his 25 points in the final two minutes. Jameer Nelson was 4 of 4 from the free throw line in the final 13 seconds and Kyle OQuinn had a key assist and block as Orlando made every play it needed to stop the Nets. Reserve ETwaun Moore made all six shots, five of them 3-pointers, to tie his season high of 17 points. Tobias Harris added 16 points and eight rebounds. "We are better in close games and it shows the maturity and confidence were gaining as a group," Afflalo said. "The Nets are one of the hottest teams since the new year and we got good performances from a lot of our role players." The Magic needed a lot at both ends in the second half to stop a hot-shooting Brooklyn team that was making shots from everywhere. Joe Johnson led the Nets with 31 points, but had a potential game-tying 3-pointer blocked by Quinn with 10 seconds left in the game. Mirza Teletovic, who was 1 for 10 from the field in the first half, hit four 3-pointers in the third period to start the Nets on their way to 23 of 37 (62.2 per cent) shooting in the second half. Teletovic finished with 17 points and nine rebounds. Mason Plumlee had 16 points and Marcus Thornton 13 off the bench for Brooklyn, which played without injured starters Paul Pierce and Shaun Livingston. "At the end, we executed offensively, but defensively, we didnt," Nets coach Jason Kidd said. "We pretty much had five guards out there, playing Joe at the centre. We probably put him in a bad way, trying to make a 3 on a 7-footer (OQuinn). Jose Barea Jersey. . As coaches we can get better. This was a learning experience." The Magic led 107-101 after Afflalos 3-pointer with 1:58 left in the game, but Brooklyn cut it to 110-109 on a layup by Johnson with 14 seconds remaining. Nelson made two free throws for Orlando, then OQuinn cleanly blocked a 3-pointer by Johnson with 10 seconds left. Nelson and Afflalo combined for three free throws to put the game away from there. The Magic led by as many as 16 in the first half and carried an 83-78 lead into the fourth quarter, but had to withstand some sharpshooting by Brooklyn in the second half. The Nets hit 23 of 37 shots (62 per cent) in the final two quarters and got seven 3-pointers and four three-point plays, but it still wasnt enough to overcome Orlando. The Magic kept pace with a hot-shooting second half of their own, making nearly 57 per cent, and got key shots from Afflalo, Moore and Nelson every time Brooklyn got close. The Nets hit six 3-pointers, four by Teletovic, in the third quarter and Deron Williams and Kevin Garnett added three-point plays to help Brooklyn rally from a 55-43 halftime deficit. The Nets tied the game at 78 on a dunk by Plumlee with 35 seconds left, but Victor Oladipo countered with a perimeter jumper and Moore hit his fifth straight 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Magic an 83-78 lead going into the final period. The teams traded baskets for the first 15 minutes of the game before Moore knocked down four 3-pointers to ignite a 20-3 run that helped Orlando to a 55-43 halftime lead. The reserve guard hit three straight 3s from nearly the exact same spot on the left side of the basket, then crossed to a similar spot on the right side and drained another. In between, he added a fast-break layup for 11 straight points, before being taken out of the game. NOTES: Magic C Nikola Vucevic missed his third straight game with a sore Achilles tendon. The Magic are 3-18 in the 21 games hes missed this season. . The Nets said Pierce had a sore hip and Livingston a sore toe. . The Magic outscored the Nets 22-6 on fast-break points.
