TAMPA, Fla. Armani Watts Jersey . -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Alterraun Verner crouched down on the field for several seconds, holding tightly the ball he had just intercepted, as teammates gathered around him. As he made his way to the bench, and the magnitude of the moment set in, tears began to flow.Just 48 hours prior to kickoff, Verners father, Robert, had died suddenly from a heart attack at the age of 61. Robert had flown to Tampa from California to be with his son and his young family on Thanksgiving. Alterraun was not with the team Friday, but vowed to play, saying before the game that he was dedicating the performance to his father.My dad was my biggest fan, said Verner, who finished with an interception and two pass breakups in the Bucs 14-5 win over the Seattle Seahawks. He made so many sacrifices for me to get where I am today, and I just know that he wouldnt want to be the cause for me not to play, so thats why I decided to play. I wanted to honor him knowing all that he did to try to get me to where I am today.Verner and several of his teammates huddled up before taking the field and broke with Alterraun! He also wore a shirt underneath his uniform that had a picture of him and his father on it from when he was at UCLA. His wife, Sinae, made it for him.One thing that I wont ever forget about him was his smile, and that was one of my favorite smiles of his, Verner said. Its just to show that hes always with me and hes always going to be with me every game. Every step of the way, off the field or on the field, because of the type of man he was, is what made me into the man I am today.Verner described his dad as the most caring, loving person that you [would] ever know -- one who was willing to take his shirt off and give it to a person that he never knew.Verner, 27, said all his father ever asked of him every game was just to play my hardest.?I could give up three touchdowns or I could get three interceptions, and he would still love me the same, said Verner. So its a blessing on how it happened for us to get the win and everything, but all he ever wanted was for me to play hard, and thats what I did for him.After the national anthem, before kickoff, Verner was told he had been named a captain, along with Kevin Pamphile, who lost his mother during the preseason.It was emotional before the game. It was emotional at the coin flip, said Bucs coach Dirk Koetter.Then came the interception before the half, on a pass intended for Paul Richardson, when the Seahawks were within striking distance at the Tampa Bay 29, and Verner slipped in front of Richardson.Thats a power above me when that kind of stuff happens,?Koetter said.?Said defensive end Noah Spence: I cant even describe it ... for him to make that type of play after what happened to him is just a blessing. We just came together and talked about it, prayed about it. We knew that we were going to come out here and do this for him.Gerald McCoy said it felt like the Atlanta?game last year, after?Kwon Alexander had just lost his brother.That was incredible, McCoy said. You knew [Verner] was hurting, but he played his heart out. Breeland Speaks Jersey . On Tuesday, Ottawa placed forward Cory Conacher and defenceman Joe Corvo on waivers as trade rumours swirl around the Senators. Derrick Nnadi Jersey . The home side created most of the chances but struggled to break down Braunschweigs resilient defence, resulting in the Bundesligas 1,000th scoreless draw. www.authenticchiefsshopnfl.com/dorian-odaniel-jersey/ INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay mapped out his expectations for the 2016 season Tuesday.He believes the offense will have to hold its own until the defense gets healthy. He expects franchise quarterback Andrew Luck to take fewer hits. And, of course, he thinks Indy should still be playing after Jan. 1.We all sit here wondering what will be the development of this team -- who will the Colts be? Irsay said, explaining a long-term vision just before four Colts players and four pro golfers teed off for a 3-hole golf tournament at the team complex. Im optimistic. I believe we can get to the top of Mount Everest and we can plant that Colts flag.Its a bold mission for a team that stumbled to 8-8 in 2015, missing the playoffs after starting the year as a trendy Super Bowl pick.And Irsay is betting big hes right.In January, he re-signed coach Chuck Pagano and extended general manager Ryan Grigsons contract. Both deals run through 2019.On draft weekend, Irsay stood by Grigsons side and supported the notion of using four of eight draft picks on offensive linemen, including first-round selection Ryan Kelly.In June, Irsay again ponied up, re-signing Luck to a $140 million deal that makes him the highest-paid player in league history.What the Colts must do now is prove they were wise investments.We tried to have a tougher camp so we could have a tougher team, Irsay said. This is the Indianapolis Colts and my expectation is that we will be playing in January in the playoffs.Irsay looked right at home on the golf course designed by his neighbors, Pete and Alice Dye, as he stared across the complexs signature island hole. It was a design Dye borrowed from the TPC coursse at Sawgrass. Chiefs Womens Jerseys. Both Dyes hung around to watch Kelly, tight end Dwayne Allen, punter Pat McAfee and kicker Adam Vinatieri team up with three players competing in this weekends BMW Championship at nearby Crooked Stick Golf Course.Irsay donated $50,000 to Autism Speaks and $25,000 to The First Tee of Indiana, then kicked in another $25,000 to each group when Vinatieris blind 220-yard shot stayed on the island hole green. Holmes and Vinatieri won in a playoff. Irsay also agreed to donate another $30,000 in Marc Leishmans name.But with Sundays season opener against Detroit nearing, it didnt take long for the conversation to turn to football.We have to go out and reprove ourselves, Irsay said. People are wondering who are they, who are these Colts? Are they a 7-9 team that needs more help or are they a team with a good mix of veterans and young guys who can go out and win the division?Once again, Irsay made it clear that the top priority is taking care of Luck.With the influx of rookie lineman and the hiring of former Miami Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin, Irsay is convinced the offensive line will be improved this season though he was concerned after Luck was sacked three times and hit three more times by Philadelphia in a preseason dress rehearsal.The real test comes Sunday.Youve got to take care of business, you just have to, Irsay said. We have to go out and win this football game this weekend -- theres just no other way to put it.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap NFL T-shirts Wholesale Jerseys NFL Jerseys China Jerseys NFL Cheap Cheap NFL Black Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Youth NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
