PROVIDENCE, R. Rode Duivels Wk 2018 .I. -- Boxer Vinny Paz cried when he saw Bleed for This, a Hollywood biopic about the life of the Rhode Island native.Miles Teller stars as Paz, who returned to the ring after a near-fatal car crash that broke his neck in 1991.The 53-year-old retired boxing champion said Thursday the movie is so realistic that watching it revived painful memories of when a doctor had to remove a halo medical device from his skull.It was really the worst feeling in my life. It was horrid, Paz said. If it was today, I would have had him shoot me up with morphine. But back then, I just said, `Take them out. Ill handle the pain.Paz said he is pleased with director Ben Youngers movie, which was filmed entirely in Rhode Island. Paz said it accurately depicts his wild child character traits, the tough-love dynamics of the working-class home where he grew up in Cranston, Rhode Island, and his stubborn and masochistic fight to get back into the ring after his spinal injury.Anyone who watches the movie and isnt inspired to go out and do something great must have some heavy polluted blood going through their brain, he said.What made him cry was seeing his late parents brought to life on screen -- Katey Sagal plays his mother, Louise Pazienza, and Ciaran Hinds plays his father, Angelo Pazienza.It made me tear up that they couldnt see it, Paz said.Paz spoke by telephone from Las Vegas, where he is planning to move soon, though he also intends to keep his longtime home in Warwick, Rhode Island. He has survived not just the 1991 crash on Warwicks Route 1 but years of legal trouble, including a domestic violence charge that was later dismissed. After gambling away much of his prize money in the 1990s, Paz said hes done with casinos, but still gravitates to the 24/7 lifestyle he finds in Vegas.Im a little fast, a little different than everybody, he said. Some people are very happy getting married and having kids. Thats just not my thing. They do a 9-to-5 job and are as happy as can be. Thats just not my thing.His upcoming travel plans to promote the movie include trips to Italy, China and Dubai. He joked that hes also open to taking a White House job working for President-elect Donald Trump as his secretary of athletics, maybe, or secretary of boxing. Paz knew Trump when he boxed at the real estate moguls Atlantic City casinos, attracting big crowds there in the late 1980s and early 1990s.How many people can say this: Literally, like literally, I made millions of dollars for the president, Paz said. Hes gonna put me on his Cabinet somewhere for that. Voetbalshirt Jan Vertonghen . Miller finished in two minutes, 6.09 seconds, one day before the first medal race on the Alpine schedule. The 36-year-old American also turned in the top time in Thursdays opening training session. Voetbalshirts Goedkoop . While hell be dialed in to that tournament on a course he loves, you can forgive him if his eyes glance down the calendar just a bit, towards April. www.voetbalshirtwinkelbelgie.be/voetbalshirt-eden-hazard.html .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Blair Walsh might have kicked his last ball for the Minnesota Vikings.After Walsh missed a league-leading third extra point and had a field goal blocked in a game the Vikings in lost in overtime to Detroit, their third straight defeat, the team began arranging visits for free agents to evaluate as possible replacements. Coach Mike Zimmer confirmed the tryouts would take place, but he was noncommittal whether the Vikings would sign a kicker before the next game at Washington.Questioned by a reporter Monday about the reasons for considering a change this week, Zimmer quipped, You havent been watching all year?Later in his news conference, Zimmer was asked if he believes Walsh can still be a successful kicker in Minnesota.I believe Blair can be a successful kicker, yes, Zimmer said, leaving out the part about Minnesota.Walsh was an All-Pro as a rookie in 2012, setting an NFL record with 10 field goals made from 50-plus yards. He slipped a little in his second season and more so the year after when the Vikings moved outside at the University of Minnesota during construction of their new stadium. Progress made during the 2015 regular season was eclipsed by the infamous miss of the 27-yard field goal in the closing seconds of the first-round playoff game against Seattle that kept Minnesota from advancing.Since then, he hasnt been able to get back on track. Walsh is 12 for 15 on extra points and 12 for 16 on field goals. The scrutiny has been bothering him, too, as evidenced by a brief, testy postgame interview session at his cubicle Sunday.You guys have got to understand: What do you want the answer to be, you know? I want to be there for my team. Of course I do. But, come on. You guys ask the same questions every week. `Did you make it? `Why didnt it go in? If I had the answer right away, Id tell you, Walsh said. Im confident in what Im doing. I know that Im going to be fine. But its tough right now.Walsh said he wasnt sure whether he still had the support of his teammates.I would hope so, Walsh said. Ive been in this league long enough. Ive had success. But Im in a place where Ive got to make kicks, and I know that. Voetbalshirt Nacer Chadli. And I need to be there for my team. Thats really what it comes down to.So whos available? Kai Forbath, Garrett Hartley and Josh Scobee are among the most experienced out of work kickers on the market. Marshall Morgan and Tom Obarski are others in the up-and-coming category.Walsh is signed through 2019 on a four-year contract extension he was given in 2015 worth as much as $13 million. So cutting him would cause a little salary-cap pain into next season. For a team chasing a championship that typically plays close, lower-scoring games, missed kicks can be extra costly.We have to look at all avenues as far as what gives us the best opportunity to win football games, Zimmer said.The extra point missed in the third quarter hit the right goalpost and left the Lions with a 10-9 lead. The 46-yard field goal attempt was low and moving left when it was batted at the line by defensive tackle Tyrunn Walker. There was another transgression by Walsh, though, that hurt the Vikings just as much.After their touchdown with 23 seconds left in regulation, Walsh was directed to drop the kickoff between the 10-yard line and the 5 so the Lions would have to return it and drain more time off the clock.The ball landed in the end zone for a touchback, a gift for a team that was out of timeouts. The Lions moved 35 yards in two plays so Matt Prater could make a 58-yard field goal and force overtime.The blame for the 22-16 loss was spread beyond Walsh, though. The defense faltered down the stretch. The offense was stopped on fourth-and-1 at the 5-yard line midway through the fourth quarter. In the second quarter, a drive that began at the Detroit 18 after an interception turned into a punt.Zimmer was also kicking himself, no pun intended, for only sending two pass rushers on the final heave by Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford that got them within range for Praters kick.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Disocunt Football Jerseys China Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping Jerseys NFL Cheap Wholesale Jerseys 2020 Wholesale NFL Womens Jerseys Jerseys NFL China ' ' '
