Terrell Owens declines to attend HOF enshrinement

Posted on June 16, 2018 by admin

Former All-Pro wide receiver Terrell Owens has publicly declined his invitation to attend the Aug. 4 Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony in Canton, Ohio. Owens made the announcement Thursday via an official statement.

I am so grateful for all of the support my family, friends, and certainly my fans, have shown me throughout my entire career in the National Football League. When it was announced that I was going to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the response received from my fans was overwhelming, and I am truly humbled. I am honored to be included among this group of fellow inducted individuals.

While I am incredibly appreciative of this opportunity, I have made the decision to publicly decline my invitation to attend the induction ceremony in Canton. I have already shared this information with the Hall. After visiting Canton earlier this year, I came to the realization that I wish to celebrate what will be one of the most memorable days of my life, elsewhere. At a later date, I will announce where and when I will celebrate my induction.

I would also like to thank the San Francisco 49ers, the Philadelphia Eagles, the Dallas Cowboys, the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals for the time I was granted with each organization. I am thankful for the relationships forged and the lessons learned while part of each team.

I wish to congratulate all past, current and future inductees. It is quite an honor to be part of such elite company. This honor is something that I will cherish forever.

Kurt Abbott hit two home runs for Team Teal in a 10-4 win over Team Black in a Marlins alumni softball game as part of the weekend’s 25th anniversary festivities before the game.

A number of players from the franchise’s World Series championship teams in 1997 and 2003 Womens Alexander Mogilny Jersey were on hand, including Livan Hernandez, Edgar Renteria, Mike Lowell and Luis Castillo.

Those were all of the guys I grew up watching Alex Fernandez, Benito Santiago, Juan Pierre, Cliff (Floyd), so it was really cool for me to kind of turn back the clock for me this series and get to see all of those out there on the field, Hosmer said.

The Angels said Ohtani’s ulnar collateral ligament has a Grade 2 sprain, http://www.authenticcanucksshop.com/authentic-89-alexander-mogilny-jersey.html which typically indicates some degree of damage but not a complete tear. Ohtani’s injury doesn’t always require surgery, while Grade 3 sprains are usually repaired by Tommy Authentic Austin Seferian-Jenkins Jersey John surgery.

If the PRP and stem-cell processes do not work, Tommy John surgery is a possibility. http://jetsshopfootball.com/austin-seferian-jenkins-jersey_c-471.html Asked whether Ohtani can avoid that, Angels general manager Billy Eppler said, We’re hopeful that he can, that it is completely treatable with the biologic prescription the doctors recommended.

I’m just going to take every day as it comes and put him on this course of recovery and strengthening for the next three weeks and then deal with what we’ve got to deal with in three weeks’ time, Eppler added.

Manager Mike Scioscia expressed a similarly measured reaction.

President Trump asks NFL players to suggest people for pardons

Posted on June 12, 2018 by admin

President Donald Trump made an unexpected move Friday, asking NFL players to recommend people they think have been treated unfairly, to be considered for a presidential pardon.

It was an unexpected occasion, perhaps, for Trump Authentic Domata Peko Jersey to offer an olive branch to a league and players he’s spent the past year feuding with in public. Earlier this week he disinvited the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia http://www.broncosfootballofficialstore.com/Domata_Peko_Jersey Eagles from the customary White House visit.

And while some critics will view his latest comments as a http://www.officialpatriotsfootballproshop.com/SUPER-BOWL-JAMES-DEVELIN-JERSEY publicity stunt, he will get some recommendations for pardon. Yahoo Sports reported the first came shortly after Trump’s remarks, when former NFL kicker Lawrence Tynes recommended his brother, Mark Tynes, for a pardon.

They’ve wasted the last few years of Eli’s career, they’ve wasted his prime, O’Hara said at a charity function, via NJ.com. It’s been hard to sit and watch that happen. I’m glad to see that they found a way to correct it, but Eli can still play the game.

Defensive lineman Justin Tuck, who was with Manning during the team’s 2008 and 2012 Super Bowl wins, said O’Hara was right.

I agree with him, Tuck said. We all know what Eli can do when he is healthy and when he has comparable athletes around him. I don’t think he James Develin Jersey had those. Anything other than that, you are just lying to yourself.

Manning has been with the Giants since they drafted him in 2004, winning two Super Bowls, starting in all but 10 games and making 210 consecutive starts. However, the last six years saw the Giants fail to make the playoffs.

Manning, 37, will likely be retiring in the next couple years. Even though new coach Pat Shurmur and new GM Dave Gettleman have said they want to surround Manning with the best talent, his stats from the last few years have shown he’s not posting high numbers.

Coach Jay Gruden said he can see the difference in a fully healthy Doctson.

Posted on June 9, 2018 by admin

Oh, yeah, Gruden said, via the team’s official website. You know, the more experience you get… The first year was a wash for him. Last year was really his first year here. And then this year is just a matter of reps and getting to know Alex [Smith] and just being precise in what he does and without hesitation. You can see that confidence in the routes that he’s running. And every day we’re going to get different looks. We’re going to get cloud tech, we’re going to get bump-and-run, we’re going to get outside leverage, inside leverage, boxes and all that good stuff. But for him to just continue to see different coverages, different looks, different techniques with the routes that we Joe Crede Youth jersey have called, he’ll be a much better player.

I am thrilled to see the Supreme Court finally side with New Jersey and strike down the arbitrary ban on sports betting imposed by Congress decades ago, Murphy said.

The American Gaming Association, which filed a brief with the Supreme Court in favor of legal sport betting, estimates that US residents place about $150 billion in illegal bets on games each year.

Famed odds-maker Danny Sheridan said his four decades in the gambling industry suggest that figure lowballs the amount of cash Americans put on the line, with football alone generating $150 billion in annual wagers 鈥?and the Super Bowl responsible for $12 billion.

Authentic Matt Prater Jersey McCourty said he wasn’t surprised by the new rule, since he knew the owners were going to do something regarding the anthem, but more just disappointed.

I just don’t think that was the right way to kind of, like, lay the hammer down, McCourty said. I think the NFL is a group where you have owners and players, but it can work together, you know what I mean?

That’s not for Landon to talk about, Shurmur said. I think the important thing is, let’s let Ereck talk for Ereck when he gets here, and we’ll worry about that later. But really, I don’t think our players should be talking about another player’s situation.

Jimmy Garoppolo Jersey Flowers in his first three years with the Giants did not have an agent 鈥?his father was listed as his representation 鈥?and recently hired Drew Rosenhaus, a longtime NFL agent with a history of making deals with the Giants. The Giants did not pick up the fifth-year option on Flowers’ contract 鈥?it would have been for $12.5 million 鈥?and Flowers will play this season for $2.39 million, completing his four-year, $14.3 million rookie deal.

Ex-cheerleaders send Roger Goodell letter demanding end to ‘inhumane’ treatment

Posted on June 6, 2018 by admin

A group of former Texans cheerleaders delivered a letter Monday to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell seeking better pay and an end to inhumane treatment by teams.

Four cheerleaders and their attorney, Gloria Allred, delivered the letter to NFL headquarters in Manhattan. The cheerleaders, who filed suit against the Texans last week alleging unequal pay and unfair working conditions, asked Goodell to force NFL teams to stop exploiting women.

Allred also held up a T-shirt for reporters showing the figure $7.25, the federal minimum wage, alleging the cheerleaders were paid less than that.

We appreciate the Houston Texans Cheerleaders for the positive impact they have made in our community and for the outstanding way they have represented our organization for nearly two decades. If there are things we learn from this process that we feel will make our cheer program even better, we will make the necessary adjustments. We do not tolerate mistreatment of our cheer team or our employees at any time.

Cheerleaders and former cheerleaders around the NFL have been speaking out in recent months and filing suits alleging harassment, gender discrimination, exploitation and other issues. In one incident reported last month, Redskins cheerleaders told the New York Times they were required to pose topless for a calendar photo shoot in 2013, and were also asked to escort sponsors to nightclubs.

After his approval a few days later by NFL owners, Tepper was playful with reporters and didn’t just acknowledge his personal insecurities but seemed to bask in them. Portly and bald, Tepper began two of his four questions at a news conference by pointing out the hair of two lushly coiffed reporters and later wondered aloud during a photo opportunity if he should’ve worn a better shirt.

I have a great appreciation for how stupid I am, Tepper said at one point, not exactly a statement commonly made by NFL owners, and he spent one night in Atlanta at the hotel lobby bar and later told a Charlotte Observer reporter that he celebrated his entry into American sports’ most exclusive club not with caviar and a 62-year-old Macallan but with pork rinds and strawberry milk.

Delanie Walker declares himself the best tight end in the NFL

Posted on June 4, 2018 by admin

Titans tight end Delanie Walker has a high opinion of himself.

Walker believes that he 鈥?not Rob Gronkowski or Travis Kelce 鈥?is the best tight end in football.

Lightning GM Steve Yzerman engineered a big deal to get Garrison’s $4.6 million cap hit off the books — and to protect Tampa Bay’s younger defensemen. Garrison was put on waivers by Oct. 27, then spent most of the season in AHL purgatory. He disappointed Knights fans who expected some production out of the veteran, but perhaps this was the endgame all along. It’s unclear if McPhee had any expectation that Garrison would contribute, but he squeezed a second- and a fourth-round pick out of Yzerman, plus the negotiating rights to Nikita Gusev (who ended up re-signing in the KHL).

A winger with a bit of a pest streak to him, Leipsic was a 23-year-old RFA the Knights signed to a two-year deal. He had two goals and 11 assists in 44 games before McPhee flipped him at the trade deadline for defenseman Philip Holm.

Johnny Manziel had his Welcome to the CFL moment early in his preseason debut against the Toronto Argonauts. The incident led to the Hamilton backup quarterback exchanging words with an Argonauts player.

Limited Mens Reggie Sanders Jersey I was trying to help a guy up out of the pile and he wanted to say some foul stuff, Manziel said, via Mike Ganter of the Toronto Sun. Listen, I’m not here to be pushed over. You can come at me because my name is in the papers or on TV, so you can come at me. I’m not backing down. I’m here for a reason. I’m here to play ball, and I’m Russell Bodine Jersey not going to be treated like [expletive]. It is what it is.

I thought when he was coming to talk to me he was going to tell me that. You know . . . I’m still learning a lot of things up here. I’m jogging into the locker room at halftime with zeros on the clock, and we have another play. There are going to be some of those growing pains. Coach [June] Jones told me that when I got here. But we’ll take them in stride.
Authentic Mens Terrence Brooks Jersey
Whether I was or whether I wasn’t, I’m not there anymore, Taylor said. That’s his decision moving forward. I still feel that I’d done more than enough to stay where I was. But at the end of the day, they made a decision to move forward, and that’s their decision.

Grading Jets’ 2018 NFL Draft picks

Posted on June 1, 2018 by admin

Anderson’s next court date is July 19 in Broward County — a procedural hearing. O’Donnell does not expect that case to go to trial. He said the matter likely will be resolved July 19 or even before that, as was the case for Anderson’s May 2017聽felony charge聽in Miami.

Anderson last season was the Jets’ top receiver — 63 catches, 941 yards, and seven touchdowns.

All eyes in the soccer world will turn to Moscow on June 14th for the beginning of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Anderson now faces no felony charges in connection with either arrest. The only charge he still faces is misdemeanor reckless driving, from the January arrest in Broward County.

Even though Anderson now faces only that relatively minor legal charge, he could still be suspended by the NFL. The league typically waits until a player’s legal situation concludes before handing down any discipline.

Marco Asensio runs with the power and grace of former Brazil midfielder Kaka. The 22-year-old Spain midfielder likewise possesses a ferocious shot from outside the penalty area, excellent close control and endless stamina.

Asensio has a full passing range, too, either quickly to feet when playing it short, or hit with a golfer’s precision so the ball drops perfectly when playing it long.

Asensio has shown his tactical versatility when playing for Real Madrid, and is lethal on counterattacks with quick one-twos.

This preliminary announcement, Montclair Athletics Director Holly Gera said, is good news for all New Jersey NCAA institutions.

That includes Ramapo, whose men’s basketball team had earned the right to host early-round NCAA Division III Tournament games by virtue of its NJAC Championship and 23-4 record in 2013. Instead, the Mahwah-based school had to host the tournament on the campus of Nyack College in New York.

Anderson’s lawyer, Ed O’Donnell, told NJ Advance Media on Wednesday that prosecutors decided they didn’t have enough evidence to proceed with Andrew Wiggins Jersey the case. The charge was officially dropped Thursday.

Cardinals drafted Christian Kirk knowing he was recently arrested

Posted on May 31, 2018 by admin

The Cardinals spent a second-round draft pick on wide receiver Christian Kirk even though he was arrested in February on a disorderly conduct and property damage charge that is still pending.

The Arizona Republic reports that Kirk, who is from Arizona, was outside a local golf tournament when he and some friends were seen throwing rocks at cars.

Feel free to dissect Roethlisberger’s snark regarding whether he intends to help mentor third-round draft pick Mason Rudolph, the quarterback from Oklahoma State. Except to the extent it’s motivated by his obvious disappointment at the Steelers’ personnel moves on defense, it is inconsequential to the question at hand.

The question is whether the team’s work in free agency and now the draft has repaired a defense that rarely was exceptional in 2017, that gradually declined as the season progressed and then collapsed when star linebacker Ryan Shazier suffered a spinal injury in week 13.

To all the young players and coaches out there, I hope that I showed you that yes, you can do things the right way,Witten said. I was never the most talented, flashiest. I relied on grit. Other players may have been more talented, but I assure you, no one was going to outwork me.

Raiders schedule 2018: Jon Gruden returns to less of a grind

Posted on May 29, 2018 by admin

The Raiders improved by four games in the standings the last time Jon Gruden coached his first season in Oakland. Twenty years later, the Raiders would love some deja vu to help them get closer ot the 12-4 team they were in 2016, not the disappointing 6-10 of’ ’17.

What will help Oakland is a favorable strength of schedule based on last season’s results. This season’s opponents went a combined 121-135 (.473). tied with Cincinnati’s schedule for third “easiest.”

Bottom line: The Raiders will be significantly better under Gruden in time, but the coaching change plus remixed personnel in a difficult division will hold them back in the short term. Although Oakland will hang around in the AFC wild-card race because of the schedule’s weaknesses, the team will fall short of its surprise 2016 form. Record prediction: 8-8

The NFL commissioner broke his silence Monday and released a lengthy statement that highlighted the importance of preserving the integrity of the game and requested a federal framework for legalized gambling.

The full statement read:

As it was for my predecessors, there is no greater priority for me as the Commissioner of the National Football League than protecting the integrity of our sport. Our fans, our players and our coaches deserve to know that we are doing everything possible to ensure no improper influences affect how the game is played on the field. This week’s ruling by the Supreme Court has no effect on that unwavering commitment.

In the twilight, Manu Ginobili is Argentina’s shining example

Posted on May 25, 2018 by admin

Manu Ginobili is driven.

There’s no bigger competitor, challenging the obsessive man looking at himself in the mirror.

Ginobili has been absolutely everything to Argentine basketball. He’s been a dream, an illusion, a projection, a reality, a fantasy and a materialization. Pure surrealism comes from the basketball city of Bahia Blanca, a town in the south of the Buenos Aires province that with Womens Tom Kuhnhackl Jersey a little more than 400,000 inhabitants possesses more than 21 clubs — all of them with their own arenas.

That process was just too much mentally because I love Nike so much. I knew I had a supreme skill that needed to be compensated for, and I knew I played my way into having these negotiations. But I didn’t want to start over at Under Armour or Adidas. I knew where I wanted to be, and $300 million was more than enough. I’m now on my 11th Nike shoe.

Curry and Durant each scored five quick points as Golden State opened the third quarter with a 10-0 burst to go ahead 64-43.
Womens Duke Johnson Jersey
Of riding the emotion with his shot — after so many questions about his perceived struggles so far this series — Curry noted, You’ve got to be your biggest fan sometimes.

Under pressure from Paul, Curry swished a 3 from way back with 5:06 left in the third. He struggled with his long-range shot again early but drove through the paint at every chance.
P.K Subban Womens Jersey
Curry hit a baseline 3-pointer at the 9:02 mark of the first but missed his next five 3s before going 4 for 5 in the second half. He is now 7 of 25 from long range — he made one in each of the first two games.

All it takes is one, Kerr said.

Both potent offenses were slow getting rolling as the teams played strong defense.

Harden and Paul began 3 for 14 with Paul missing six shots before getting his first basket on goaltending against Andre Iguodala 2:39 before halftime.

Offensively we didn’t have any thrust, and they exploited it, Harden said.
