ANAHEIM, Calif. Teuvo Teravainen Jersey . -- Derek Ryan waited longer than most NHL players for his chance. Now, nearing 30 years old, hes making the most of it.Ryan scored twice, Cam Ward made 21 saves and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Los Angeles Kings 3-1 on Thursday night.Ryan had his first multigoal performance in 20 NHL games. A fixture in the lineup since being called up from the Charlotte Checkers of the AHL on Nov. 11, Ryan has six points in the last seven games.Pretty remarkable. Hard to even put it into words, Ryan said. Its one of those nights where youll remember it.Once considered undersized and a step too slow for the NHL, the journeyman from Spokane, Washington, who will turn 30 on Dec. 29, has finally proved that he can play at this level after years of playing in the minor leagues and in Europe.I dont think its just tonight thats proven that, Ryan said. I think Ive tried to prove that through the early part of this season and even last year, in the games that I played here. But its nice to get those goals and feel like I can contribute at a high level in this league.Brock McGinn also scored for Carolina.Drew Doughty scored for the Kings and Jeff Zatkoff made 15 saves in his first 60-minute performance of the season.Andrej Nestrasil fed Ryan for the first score of the game with 2:09 left in the first. With Kings defensemen Alec Martinez and Jake Muzzin on the same man, Nestrasil found Ryan all alone, and he broke away for the backhand around Zatkoff.Ryan made it 2-0 at 13:13 in the second period, finishing off an impressive passing sequence with for a short-handed goal. After breaking into a 2-on-1, Ryan sent a no-look backhand pass around defenseman Drew Doughty to McGinn, and McGinn sent the puck under a diving Doughty back to Ryan, who banked it off the near post.Weve done that a couple times together in Charlotte, Ryan said. I felt some pressure from Doughty there and I tried to get it over to him behind my back. I was kind of expecting him to shoot it, but he ended up putting it right on my tape for a wide open net.Probably one of those goals that my family will watch for a while.It appears as though his family get to watch him in the NHL for a little longer, as hes impressed the Carolina coaching staff with his work ethic and playmaking abilities.Its a good story, Hurricanes coach Bill Peters said. Hes got a great hockey mind, hes got elite vision and he makes plays.McGinn sniped one top-shelf over Zatkoff 4:20 into the third period to make it 3-0.Doughtys goal closed the scoring at 12:50 in the third period.The Kings failed to generate much offense in a somewhat lackluster performance. Kings coach Darryl Sutter juggled the lines when he saw his top players underperforming, but a three-goal hole proved too deep to climb out of in the third period.I dont think our top guys were very sharp, and they didnt have any scoring chances, Sutter said. Our top guys were not very efficient out there maximizing what their god gave them.Game notes Doughty turned 27 on Thursday. ... Zatkoffs start was his first since Nov. 11. ... Kings C Andy Andreoff, RW Devin Setoguchi and D Tom Gilbert were healthy scratches. ... Hurricanes C Elias Lindholm missed his fourth straight game with a lower-body injury. ... Hurricanes D Klas Dahlbeck and Ryan Murphy were healthy scratches.UP NEXTHurricanes: End a three-game California trip in San Jose on Saturday night.Kings: Host Ottawa in a Saturday matinee.

The candidates -- all previously announced in their own countries -- are: Almaty, Kazakhstan; Beijing; Krakow, Poland; Lviv, Ukraine; Oslo, Norway; and Stockholm. OMAHA, Neb. -- November college basketball games typically dont mean much in the big picture of a season.As far as Greg McDermott was concerned, No. 22 Creightons 79-67 victory over No. 9 Wisconsin on Tuesday night meant a whole lot.You could argue it might be the best win weve had since Ive been here when you consider where were trying to get the program back to, where the Wisconsin program is today, and in the manner that we did it, the Bluejays seventh-year coach said.Khyri Thomas scored 15 of his 18 points in the second half, breaking open a close game with a three-point play and 3-pointer on consecutive possessions, as the Bluejays beat a Wisconsin team reached the Sweet 16 and returned all five starters.Maurice Watson Jr. had 17 points and 10 assists and Marcus Foster added 15 points for the Bluejays (2-0).I think new can go super far, especially in conference play and in the (NCAA) Tournament, Thomas said. We have so many athletic guys.The game was part of the Gavitt Tipoff Games matching Big East and Big Ten teams the first week of the season.Coming in here, I knew it would be a heck of a challenge, Badgers coach Greg Gard said. Gregs got a very good team; hes kind of earmarked this year as being their year. Congratulate his team on playing very well. We showed at times some very uncharacteristic Wisconsin-like handlings of possessions where we got a little disheveled at times.Bronson Koenig scored 21 points and Nigel Hayes had 16 points to lead the Badgers (1-1). But Wisconsin made only 3 of 26 3-pointers after starting 8 of 13 from beyond the arc. The Badgers also committed 16 turnovers, 12 of them by starters.Nobody forces Wisconsin into 16 turnovers, nobody keeps Wisconsin off the free-throw line, McDermott said. For us to beat a veteran team like they are, that plays the right way, and the success theyve had in their careers, is really a feather in the cap for our team.Hayes, the Big Ten preseason player of the year, scored 11 points in the first 12 minutes and was held scoreless until there were 11 minutes left in the game.Thats whhen Creighton started its decisive run. Jordan Staal Jersey. Cole Huffs jumper from in front of the Creighton bench put the Bluejays up 52-50. After Toby Hegner hit a 3, Thomas stripped the ball from Koenig, drove for a layup and converted a three-point play. Happ missed on the other end, and then Thomas drilled a 3 to make it 63-52.BIG PICTUREWisconsin: Typical November game. The Badgers glut of turnovers and impatience on offense, especially in the first half, will provide plenty of fodder for film study. Weve got to be able to touch the post more and try to play more inside-out, Gard said.Creighton: The Bluejays have one of the best home-court advantages in the nation, and they were fueled by it.The Bluejays got out to a quick lead, never let the Badgers go on a big run and got big-time defensive performances from 7-foot redshirt freshman Justin Patton and the 6-8 Huff.POLL IMPLICATIONSCreighton will merit a promotion in the Top 25 if it goes unbeaten this weekend in a tournament in the Virgin Islands. Wisconsin probably will drop, but not much.THOMAS RISEThomas went from struggling through conference play last season to becoming a major contributor in the NIT, averaging 12.3 points and 4.7 rebounds in three games.All of a sudden, his frame of mind changed going into the offseason, McDermott said. His motivation was better, his confidence is in a different place, hes eager to get into the gym because he tasted a little success in postseason basketball. That has carried over.ANTHEM PROTESTHayes and Jordan Hill, as they did in Wisconsins exhibition game and opener, stood a couple feet behind teammates during the national anthem. Hayes has said he doesnt take a knee on the court because it would be painful, so he chooses to stand back.UP NEXTWisconsin hosts Chicago State on Thursday.Creighton plays Washington State on Friday at the Paradise Jam in the Virgin Islands.---More AP college basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.org Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' ' 

Sometimes in the Premier League, a difficult stretch of matches to open the season can derail a promising campaign. Cowboys Jerseys Online .But Liverpool have passed that opening test with flying colours, emerging with 17 points and sitting comfortably in fourth place with a stretch of winnable games ahead, starting with Saturdays tilt against West Bromwich Albion at Anfield.The fixture computer can be incredibly cruel at times, as it seemingly was to Liverpool (5-2-1) when the schedule was released. The Reds were handed trips to Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea over the first eight league matches.Throw in the reality that of those eight, the first three were away from home due to the redevelopment of Anfields Main Stand. They also faced Manchester United and defending champions Leicester City at home. It was definitely a daunting task that had a potential bleak start written all over it.However, Jürgen Klopps high-pressing style has fit well on Merseyside. The club has been able to produce some breathtaking attacking passages thanks to the brilliant quartet of Philippe Coutinho, Adam Lallana, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.Coming into the weekend, only Manchester City and Arsenal (19) have scored more goals than Liverpools 18, but theyll have to remain focused with the distraction of European football if they are to truly challenge for the top four or even the title.Mondays scoreless draw with Man U produced little in the way of attacking chances as United goalkeeper David De Gea was only really tested once. Emre Cans second half effort was denied by De Gea while Firmino looked sure to score after getting in behind, only to be repelled by an excellent sliding challenge from Antonio Valencia.Despite not collecting three points on a night when perhaps they should have, at least one former Red believes good things are in store for Klopps charges.Jürgen is looking good for the club, I think hes doing well, former defender Daniel Agger said prior to Mondays clash. He has some great ideas and the way he talks with the media, everything, I like.With the club set to take the pitch at Anfield for only the third time on the campaign, Klopp commented on what its like to play in the redeveloped venue.Its great, its great -- its not easy to describe because we all loved the old Anfield, the manager said. When I first came here for the friendly with Borussia Dortmund, I dont think theyd already started to do the work on the new Main Stand, but it already was a really nice and historical stadium.West Bromwich Albion (2-4-2), meanwhile, are riding a decent wave of form, unbeaten in four straight including three consecutive draws. The Baggies enter the weekend in 12th place, but are certain to be challenged by the Merseysiders slew of attacking prowess.If there is another manager -- aside from Jose Mouinho -- who can come up with a tactical plan to stifle Liverpools attack, its probably West Broms Tony Pulis. He has garnered a reputation for building defensively strong teams.West Broms current four-match unbeaten run in league play will have them brimming with confidence, but it may have taken a small hit after last weeks 1-1 stalemate with Tottenham. West Brom allowed the equaliser in the 89th minute to end the day in frustrating fashion.Still, midfielder James McClean is impressed with his sides form over the last month.We are four unbeaten now so its all good signs, the Ireland international said. Im delighted with the way I am playing at the moment and the team is also doing well so I am happy.Saturday was a tough game against a quality side and, if I am honest, we were outplayed by Spurs in the first half. But in the second 45 we gave it a right good go and we were unfortunate not to hold on to the lead.The sides drew both Premier League meetings last season.Liverpool won the first nine Premier League contests between these sides, outscoring West Brom 25-0. Since then, West Brom have gone 4-4-3 in the series.The last three top-flight matchups between the sides have been drawn. Charles Haley Jersey . The 43-year-old closer, in his 19th and final big league season, has said hed like to play the outfield. Yankees manager Joe Girardi says hes thinking about allowing Rivera to do it this weekend, when the Yankees finish their season with a three-game series at the Houston Astros. Tyron Smith Jersey . Westbrook has missed 27 games since having a procedure on Dec. 27 to deal with swelling in his injured right knee — the third operation on the knee in nine months. http://www.cheapcowboysjerseyselite.com/?tag=cheap-tyrone-crawford-jersey . Note: The Calgary Flames announced Tuesday that Sean Monahan would not be made available to Canadas World Junior team. Weight hasnt stopped Flash Fibian from landing a telling blow to assert his class at Rosehill.The Paul Murray-trained three-year-old was sent out the $10 outsider in the seven-horse field in Saturdays Ascend Sales Trophies Handicap (1200m).But the underdog finished strongest to beat Gibraltar Girl ($4.80) by a long head with $4 favourite Lubiton a short neck away third.Carrying 61kg, Flash Fibian was able to race with cover under jockey Tye Angland and let down quickest to score an impressive victory.The horse was narrowly defeated in the Listed Heritage Stakes at Randwick when first-up on September 17.He was then disappointing in the Group Two Roman Consul Stakes and the Listed Brian Crowley Sttakes on October 1 and 15 respectively. Damien Wilson Jersey. .He didnt seem to put in so we just decided to freshen him up right up, Murray said.Murray said while blinkers had not worked for Flash Fibian as two-year-old, their return had helped him to record his third win from 10 starts.Hes a gelding now, so with $100,000 races you might as well just pick up what you can, Murray said.Angland said Flash Fibian had relished the inside draw and drop in class.From the soft gate we had a beautiful run, Angland said.He had to carry a big weight but showed a really nice turn of foot.

Years of meticulous planning and traversing the globe winning back-to-back rugby sevens world series titles had coach Ben Ryan prepared for just about anything when he revealed his Fiji squad for the Olympics. Quincy Wilson Jersey .One thing he couldnt guarantee was the reaction of the players who missed out, a response he now regards as the measure of the team.One by one, they came in and one by one I told them their fate and to a man they were outstanding in the way they took their news, Ryan recalled. If they werent selected they thanked us, they shook our hands and they left with their heads held high.It proved once and for all, in case there was even a tiny doubt in Ryans mind, that the squad hes been honing for Rio de Janeiro is way, way bigger than any individual -- this group of players is what Fijians everywhere refer to as the peoples team.And the people have high expectations. Fijians have competed in the Olympics since 1956, but have never won a medal. Theyve never had a chance until now, though, to contest their national sport at the Summer Games.It is fair to say, Fiji is close to meltdown with Rio fever, Ryan told World Rugby this week. It is always an obsession on the island to follow the team but has gone to a new level with the Olympics. Hundreds have lined the training pitch to watch us.Since moving from England in 2013, Ryan has harnessed the passion Fijians have for their kind of football, reinforcing the bonds between the game and the people in a Pacific island nation which has become too familiar with seeing its best rugby talent move abroad seeking opportunities.Despite never reaching the World Cup semifinals in the traditional 15-a-side game, Fijians have long been the masters of the abbreviated sevens version because of their size, speed and flair.So when rugby sevens was added to the Olympic program for Rio, the goal posts shifted and gold became the goal.Even former San Francisco 49ers player and Australian National Rugby League star Jarryd Hayne quit the NFL in a bid to make the Fijian team -- but he didnt give himself enough time to break in.The inspirational Osea Kolinisau will lead the mens team, after he has carried the Fiji flag at the opening ceremony for the Olympics.With 243 matches in the world series, the 30-year-old is right for the job. He topped the tackle count in the 2015-16 season and, when Fiji was still recovering from the devastating Cyclone Winston, Kolinisau dedicated the Las Vegas stop on the world series circuit in March to the people, delivering the title with a player-of-the-match performance in the final. The following month in Hong Kong, the Fijians won again to all but secure the world championship.Winning the world series last season was a really massive one, Kolinisau said. When we went back home, our normal three-hour trip from the airport took us about 10 hours. Villagers wanting to thank the team for what theyve done.In Savenaca Rawaca, Jasa Veremalua, Kitione Taliga and Jerry Tuwai, Fiji had four players in the top 14 on the world series try-scoring list last season -- no other country had more than one. As well, theres France-based Josua the Fijian Bus Tuisova in a versatility role and forwards such as Leone Nakarawa to provide possession.Waisale Serevi, one of the greatest sevens exponents of all time, is a proud Fijian who knows what the OIympic team is facing.Theres nothing less than the gold medal that theyre looking for, Serevi told The Associated Press. They dont want the silver. They dont want the bronze. They want the gold medal back at home.The Fijian men open their campaign against host Brazil next Tuesday, followed by group matches Argentina and the United States.Ryan has an obligation to use a Fiji-style game plan, full of running from all parts of the field and risky passes, but is confident the extra fitness he has drilled into the squad and the extraordinary skills that can only be acquired by having a deep pool of players will ensure his team is consistently playing at a high level.We play the way that everybody wants the game to be played, he said. We keep the ball alive, we do have audacious off-loads, they play with a smile on their face.We play with a high risk -- but its only a risk if you make a mistake.Its a high-risk, high-reward mission for Ryan, who agrees the gold medal is the No. 1 priority.Theres not many sports around the globe that has such an impact to the whole nation, he said. The country does grind to a standstill when the boys are playing. There is pressure on the boys to perform, because those (fans) will also be pointing fingers if things dont work out.

Shes hung out with the Boss. John Sullivan Jersey .Shes used the National League MVP as a medal rack.Olympic champion Katie Ledecky is enjoying quite a victory tour before she heads off to college.Its been a crazy couple of weeks, but Ive also had a lot of fun with it, said Ledecky, one of the biggest stars of the Rio Games.On Thursday night, the swimmer attended a Bruce Springsteen concert at Nationals Park in Washington. She was able to meet backstage with the Boss, even tweeting out a picture with each of them holding one of her gold medals.I have been listening to Bruce Springsteen music riding in my familys car throughout my youth, going to early morning practices and to swim meets, Ledecky said. I have over 400 Bruce Springsteen songs on my iPod, including recordings of his live performances.Her father, David, is a longtime Springsteen fan, attending his first show at Madison Square Garden in 1978. Hes passed on that passion to his 19-year-old daughter, though this was the first time she had been able to attend one of the Boss shows.A relative of ours surprised us by obtaining tickets, Ledecky said. I have never had the opportunity to attend a Springsteen show because of my training and meet schedule, but I finally had a break in my training after the Olympics that coincided with Bruces show at Nationals Park.Ledecky, who lives with her parents in suburban Washington, also was at Nationals Park the previous week, throwing out the first pitch before a baseball game against the Baltimore Orioles.Bryce Harper, last years NL MVP, accompanied Ledecky to the pitching mound, which came in handy when the swimmer decided to shed the five medals -- four golds and a silver -- she captured in Rio, two of them in world-record times. It was the most successful showing by a female athlete in U.S. Olympic history.Harper, smiling, patiently draped the hardware over both arms.Bryce was a great sport holding the medals, Ledecky said. We had a lot of fun with it. And I threw a pretty good pitch.Springsteen, who has been playing shows longer than four hours on his current tour, was intrigued to hear about Ledeckys grueling schedule.She told him how she would get up at 4 a.m. and drive to practice with my dad, listening to Springsteen songs, then go to high school, and practice again in the afternoon following school.The Boss, Ledecky added, seemed especially thrilled to hold one of her gold medals, which was nice since he has won several Grammys and an Academy Award.He said, `I always wondered what people do with these medals, Ledecky recalled. We laughed when my brother said, `They take them around to show them to rock stars. We told him how much his work and music have meant to us, and how much we love him.Passing on the chance to cash in on her Olympics success, Ledecky is preparing to head across the country for her freshman year at Stanford. Shes in no hurry to turn professional, saying she believes college will help her develop both as an athlete and as a person.Ledecky hasnt decided on her goals heading into the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, but said she will continue to focus on improving in the 100-meter freestyle and may take on the 400 individual medley.But the longer freestyle events will continue to be her bread and butter. In Rio, she became the first woman since 1968 to win the 200, 400 and 800 free.I want to have the college experience, Ledecky said. I think thats going to be a great experience for me. I think thats going to continue to help me improve both in swimming and in school. Im excited for the next couple of years and what they have to hold.Shes still holding off on getting her drivers license, even though shell be living in car-crazy California.I will be riding a bike around campus, Ledecky said. That should be good.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 . His work can be found at http://bigstory.ap.org/content/paul-newberry . John Johnson Jersey .

The 17-year-old native of Marystown, N.L., pulled out of Skate Canada International last month in Saint John, N.B., with the same problem. CHICAGO -- Attorneys representing the widow of baseball great Ernie Banks have withdrawn from a lawsuit over his estate.Elizabeth Banks has contested the will the former Chicago Cubs first baseman signed three months before his January 2015 death, which left his inheritance to Regina Rice, a longtime friend who took care of his financial affairs, the Chicago Tribune (http://trib.in/2dmrHSC ) reported.Elizabeth Banks, who was in the process of divorcing the 83-year-old Hall of Famer at the time of his death, had alleged in court documents that Rice isolated and controlled him in his final months.Both sides recently told Cook County Judge James Riley that they were close to a settlement. But Elizabeth Banks attorney, Thomas Jefson, asked to withdraw from the case Wednesday.He didnt state a reason in his two-page motion, just that differences havve arisen between (the firm) and Elizabeth that make it impossible for the firm to continue to represent her. Lance Dunbar Jersey. iley approved the move, giving Elizabeth Banks the three weeks allowed under the law to find a new attorney. No settlement is likely to be reached by the time Riley retires in November.Rices attorney, Linda Chatman, said Banks had apparently rejected last-minute changes to the proposed settlement made by her own attorneys. She said the dispute over the wills validity will likely go to trial if a settlement cant be reached.Elizabeth Banks, who lives in California and didnt appear in court, couldnt immediately be reached for comment.---Information from: Chicago Tribune, http://www.chicagotribune.com Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' ' 

As the final LAN event before the Call of Duty World Championships on Sept. Nike Roshe Two Mens . 2, MLG Orlando represents both a preview of the worlds biggest stage and a tune-up for teams either qualified or preparing to qualify for the marquee event. And with the lions share of the $100,000 prize pool plus 2,500 Call of Duty World League Pro points set to go to the winner, MLG Orlando could be one of the most intense competitions this season. Here are our predictions for what we might see on August 5-7.FormatThe Open bracket will begin with a mix of 96 amateur squads battling it out through a series of double-elimination, best-of-three matches, with the top four teams qualifying for group play. Those four teams will be slotted into predetermined groups of CWL teams, with every team then slogging through best-of-five series against its opponents for pivotal positioning within the Championship Bracket.From there, the top two teams in each group will advance into the Championship Bracket, in which another set of double elimination, best-of-five matches will commence in order to crown the MLG Anaheim Open champion.Now with the format formalities out of the way, lets break down who has the best odds of advancing into the Championship Bracket from group play!*Note: Predictions will not include amateur teams because the winners of the open bracket have not yet been determined.Group AGroup A teams: Team EnVyUs, ex-Team SoloMid, eLevateWho will advance: Team EnVyUs and eLevateGroup A boasts two teams coming off very different ends to the CWL Stage 2 season. After rallying to a first-place finish to end the Stage 2 regular season, Team EnVyUs erupted through the playoffs, losing just two maps en route to the Stage 2 championship. With some of the top competition to the CWL throne (heres looking at you, OpTic Gaming and FaZe Clan) having been knocked out early during the playoffs portion of Stage 2, Team EnVyUs appears to be the hot team heading into MLG Orlando.Whatever definition of hot you may want to use, eLevate is certainly not it. At one point sitting firmly in contention for a Stage 2 playoff spot, eLevate dropped its final four games, ending the season with an 11-11 record and on the outside of the eight-team playoff, sitting just map-percentage points behind Dream Team, Luminosity Gaming and H2k for one of the final spots. The team is certainly not devoid of talent, as Ulysses AquA Silva managed to put together the second-best kill/death ratio (1.14) in the CWL during Stage 2, but the rest of the team must step up in order to make a dent during group play.As the ex-TSM squad put up an even more disappointing record in Stage 2 (5-17), this may be a group where an open-bracket team could make its mark.Group BGroup B teams: Ex-Dream Team, H2k, InfusedWho will advance: Infused and Ex-Dream TeamAfter falling short in its mission to claim the Stage 2 European crown, Infused appears to be in prime position to make some noise at MLG Orlando, although Group Bs open bracket team may throw a monkey wrench into these projections. Infused posted a 14-4 record during the European Stage 2 regular season, culminating with a second-place finish at the Stage 2 playoffs, and placed fifth/sixth at MLG Anaheim. Dont be surprised if the team places even higher than fifth/sixth at MLG Orlando.Speaking of defying expectations, the team formerly supported by Dream Team has seemingly beaten the odds since the start of Stage 2. The squad flummoxed both FaZe Clan and Luminosity Gaming en route to a second-place finish during the Stage 2 playoffs, a feat few people predicted heading into the event. And with emerging star Martin Chino Chino set to compete at MLG Orlando, thanks to crowdfunding efforts by the Call of Duty community, people are expecting great things of this team at Orlando.Group CGroup C teams: Rise Nation, FaZe Clan, compLexity GamingWho will advance: FaZe Clan and compLexity GamingPick a team, any team! At the moment, each team in Group C could make a case to be considered among the top tier teams at the tournament. Whether it be Rise Nations impressive consistency throughout Stage 1 and 2, FaZes Clans potential revenge performance after an early loss in the Stage 2 playoffs to Dream Team, or compLexity Gamings reconfigured roster, each team has the potential to make an impact at MLG Orlando.FaZe Clan and Rise Nation would have matched up well against the previous compLexity Gaming roster, but since the team brought on Patrick ACHES Price and Andres Lacefield Lacefield, compLexity Gaming could have a chance to sneak into the Championship Bracket. Its a longshot, as FaZe Clan and Rise Nation have arguably the most prestigious rosters this side of OpTic Gaming, but after a topsy-turvy Stage 2 playoffs, anything is possible.FaZe Clan should come away with the first spot in the group, as they will be in hyperdrive mode after a playoffs loss, but compLexity will sneak in as Rise Nation looked lackluster in their Stage 2 playoff lossGroup DGroup D teams: OpTic Gaming, Luminosity Gaming, Team KaliberWho will advance: OpTic Gaming and Luminosity GamingRevenge is a dish best served cold. After a humbling upset loss to Luminosity Gaming in the first round of the Stage 2 playoffs, this may be a proverb OpTic Gaming finds appealing.After dominating the Call of Duty scene for the better part of a year, OpTic Gaming now sits at a precarious position heading into MLG Orlando. Before the Luminosity upset, OpTic looked like a runaway World Championship favorite after first-place finishes at Stage 1 Playoffs, ESWC and MLG Anaheim. Will it bounce back and challenge for a first-place finish at Orlando, brushing off the Stage 2 playoff loss as a fluke, or has the rest of the competitive scene finally caught up to the Green Wall? One thing is for certain: its unwise to discount a vengeful, motivated OpTic Gaming.After its terrific performance during the Stage 2 playoffs, it wouldnt be a shock to see Luminosity Gaming continue its successful run and cement its name among a handful of other elite fixtures of the competitive scene. Luminosity Gaming will likely rely on the slaying capabilities of Anthony NAMELESS Wheeler and Renato Saints Forza, the hero of the Stage 2 playoffs upset over OpTic Gaming, to propel it through the tournament. If either player struggles, look for Team Kaliber, who picked up a handful of former CWL players in Cole ColeChan Chancey, Jevon Goonjar Gooljar-Lim and Nick Happy Suda, to push its way into the Championship Bracket conversation.

ATLANTA -- Rory McIlroy finally won the FedEx Cup when he least expected it. Bobby Ryan Jersey .McIlroy was three shots behind with three holes to play Sunday in the Tour Championship. Nearly two hours later, he holed a 15-foot birdie putt on the fourth extra hole to win the tournament and claim the $10 million FedEx Cup bonus.In its 10th year, the FedEx Cup never had a finish like this.McIlroy fittingly won on the 16th hole, where his remarkable rally began in regulation when he holed out from 137 yards for eagle, and then made birdie on the final hole for a 6-under 64 to join a three-man playoff with Ryan Moore (64) and Kevin Chappell (66).Moore had an 8-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole to win and it caught the lip and spun out. Chappell had a 20-foot birdie putt on the last hole to win and left it short.They finished at 12-under 268.Dustin Johnson surprisingly was never a factor and he hit too many errant shots on the front nine and never recovered, closing with a 73. Johnson, however, still would have won the FedEx Cup if either Moore or Chappell had won the tournament.McIlroy had control of this all along. He looked to put the perfect finish onto his big day when he hit over the water to 6 feet for an eagle putt on the par-5 18th in the first playoff hole. Moore, however, holed a 10-footer for birdie. McIlroy was ready to pump his fist until his eagle putt slid by.Returning to the 18th, McIlroy missed an 18-foot birdie putt for the win. On the third extra hole, the par-3 15th over the water from 201 yards, McIlroy had to make a 7-foot par putt just to stay in the game.Nothing was bigger than that birdie at the end.

It was the 13th victoryAt the start of the month, he had not won all year on the PGA Tour.

Sydney Roosters finally have a cornerstone win for their NRL season - a 22-10 defeat of premiers North Queensland that coach Trent Robinson says is vital for their 2017 campaign. Nolan Cromwell Jersey .And its a loss that has put a top-four finish for the Cowboys in grave doubt.Led upfront by Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and Boyd Cordner on Sunday at Allianz Stadium, halves Mitchell Pearce and Connor Watson steered the Roosters to their fifth victory of the year.In the process, the Roosters handed the struggling Cowboys their third successive defeat just a month out from the finals.It was our best performance of the year so far, Robinson said.There was a lot of arm-wrestle footy. We went to-to-toe with them and we just havent been able to do enough this year.Three-time successive minor premiers, the Roosters will miss the finals for the first time under Robinson.We have struggled to play our best, but they should be proud of how they played today, he said.I have had a lot of questions about next year but it is about now. That was a really good lesson in footy, how you put a game together. The next year is laid on by what we do now.The Cowboys opened the scoring through Ethan Lowe in the eighth minute, but from there the Roosters were the better side for much of the contest.Ryan Matterson put the home side ahead through a converted try in the 28th minute.Two more first-half tries to Shaun Kenny-Dowall and Cordner had the Roosters in front 16-4 at the break, but only after a Blake Ferguson try was controversially disallowed by the bunker.A 40m angled run from Latrell Mitchell with 30 minutes left put the Roosters further ahead, and they had to hold a late Cowboys fightback to claim the four-tries-to-two win.Kane Linnetts 64th-minute touchdown was the Cowboys only second-half try.If Canberra beat Melbourne in the final game of round 23 on Monday, the Cowboys will be two wins outside the top four with three rounds to play.They played well. They deserved it. They wanted it more than us, Cowboys coach Paul Green said.We were a little bit flat and they had a bit more energy than us. They definitely defended better than us and carried the ball better than us.It was a similar story last week.We just have to get a bit of confidence back and scrap and fight for a win.Green said rake Jake Granville (hand) is still at least two weeks away from playing.Prop Ben Hannant is also due back from knee surgery in two weeks.

Nathan Cleverly expects Sergey Kovalev to beat Andre Ward on Saturday and wants a rematch with him next year.Cleverly (30-3, 16 KOs) is as excited as any fan about the fight at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas which will decide the light-heavyweight divisions No.1.But the Briton has a close personal interest, too, as he should have a chance to line up a 2017 bout against the winner of Florida-based Russian Kovalev (30-0-1, 26 KOs), who will defend his WBA super, WBO and IBF world titles, and American Ward (30-0, 15 KOs).Its a brilliant fight, probably the best in the whole of boxing at the moment, because its such a contrast of styles, Cleverly told ESPN.Ward is a masterclass technically as a fighter and then you have Kovalev, whose boxing skills are underrated but has brute force in both hands. Its intriguing.It will be so close, and go the distance, but Im going with Kovalev. I see why people are thinking Ward, but Kovalev keeps his distance and has good balance, he has got long punches -- and he is the bigger guy.Kovalevs the natural light-heavyweight and Ward has come up from super-middle. He [Kovalev] is experienced at fighting bigger guys and his power will be enough to put Ward into his shell. He will win the rounds on work rate and make Ward very defensive. I think he will win a close decision.Kovalev became world champion in 2013 when he dealt Cleverly his first defeat as a professional, in front of his fans in Wales.It was a brutal fourth-round lesson for the home fighter, which featured two knockdowns before it was stopped. But that hasnt put Cleveerly off a rematch with the Russian. Deacon Jones Jersey. The winner is my official mandatory defence, so will collide with me at some point in the not-so-distant future, he said. They will get their business done and I will get my business done and then it could happen.If its Kovalev, people will think Im crazy to get back in the ring with him, but Im a fighter and Im a risk-taker; if its there, I will do it. I took the fight too early last time -- next time will be different.Cleverly has suffered two points losses since taking a beating from Kovalev -- to fellow Briton Tony Bellew up at cruiserweight, and against Andrzej Fonfara. However, he revived his career last month when he won the WBAs regular version of the world title from Juergen Braehmer, who retired before the start of the seventh round with a shoulder injury.Provisionally, the rematch with Braehmer is my next fight, Cleverly said. I signed a rematch clause before the fight so Im expecting to fight him again in Germany.I won the [WBO] world title at 24, which is very young when you are against fully-grown men. I took a risk by fighting Kovalev aged 26; he was an unknown quantity then. He came over to the UK and I was a bit immature, he was a mature 30-year-old.He had too much for me. It was a devastating defeat at the time, but maybe it needed to happen. Mentally, Ive wised up, it has given me time to physically mature and get stronger, so maybe it was a blessing in disguise.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. Tony Gonzalez Jersey . -- The Atlanta Falcons continue to protect their NFC South lead by finding productive replacements for injured starters.The latest evidence of the teams depth came in Sundays 38-19 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Fill-in starters Matt Wile and Jalen Collins and backup receiver Taylor Gabriel were three players highlighted by coach Dan Quinn on Monday as playing crucial roles in the win.The Falcons (7-4) will take a one-game lead over Tampa Bay into this weeks game against Kansas City (8-3).Collins, a second-round pick in 2015, is in the spotlight as the replacement for star cornerback Desmond Trufant, who has missed two straight games with a shoulder/pectoral injury that could end his season.Atlanta players have accepted the likelihood that Trufant is facing season-ending surgery.That loss is truly significant, but we have got guys behind him like Jalen Collins, defensive tackle Jonathan Babineaux said after Sundays game. We also have a lot of young guys behind him as well that are ready to compete. I dont think the drop-off will be too big. We have got guys that are hungry.Quinn challenged Collins and cornerbacks Robert Alford and Brian Poole to defend Arizona receivers close to the line. Collins shared the team lead with six tackles, including one for a loss, against Arizona.I really appreciated him competing, Quinn said of Collins Monday. ... He had difficult matchups on a number of good players and he just kept responding. Were anxious to see where he goes, but for me his arrow is certainly trending up.Quinn said the team would add another defensive back this week if Trufant is placed on injured reserve.Wile excelled in his NFL debut as regular punter Matt Bosher missed the game with a hamstring injury. Wile averaged 58 yards on two punts and had touchbacks on each of his seven kickoffs.Quinn, who acknowledged last week he was nervous about having a punter with no NFL experience making the start, applauded Wiles debut.When your opportunity comes, you go nail it, Quinn said.Gabriel didnt start but had four catches for 75 yards , including two touchdowns on screens which showcased his speed.Rookie tight end Austin Hooper had two catches and Levine Toilolo also had a catch as tag-team replacements for Jacob Tamme, who was placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury during the teams bye week.The team also weathered a wave of injuries at linebacker early in the season. Sean Weatherspoon was placed on IR while DeVondre Campbell missed four games and Deion Jones missed one game.Quinn said it is important to recognize the value of every backup.Thats why we push each guy to take them as far as we can, knowing when your opportunity is called, youre ready to answer, he said. Thats one of the best ways to demonstrate earning respect from your teammate. Heres my opportunity, Im going to go nail it.Game notes Quinn said DE Adrian Clayborn, who left the game with a knee injury, will see a doctor this week. An update on Clayborns status is expected on Wednesday. ... Following his review of the game film, Quinn said he hopes S Keanu Neal is not fined for a hit on Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald that drew an unnecessary roughness penalty. Both players lowered their helmets before the contact. I thought it was a very clean hit where hes hitting the strike zone exactly where we want him to, Quinn said of Neal.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Laurent Duvernay-Tardif Jersey .C. -- When North Carolina freshman Ryan Switzer reported to training camp in August he was a little miffed to learn he was third on the depth chart at punt returner.

NEW YORK -- Thanks to a recent run of improved play, the Colorado Rockies figure their team will be intact after Mondays trade deadline. Herman Edwards Jersey .The surprising Rockies are within striking distance of a wild-card spot, and it seems theres no sell-off coming this season. At least that was the clubhouse consensus following Sundays 6-4 loss to the New York Mets.We feel close to each other, so I dont think there will be any changes, slugger Carlos Gonzalez said. We are playing good ball, so it makes it easier for the club to continue to put confidence in this club and each player in this room.Colorado nearly completed a season sweep of the defending NL champions, but let it slip away. Boone Logan gave up a go-ahead, three-run homer to Neil Walker in the seventh inning that rallied the Mets.Gonzalez hit a tying double in the fifth and a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the seventh off winner Jerry Blevins (4-1). Daniel Descalso had two RBI singles for the Rockies (52-53), who had won five in a row and nine of 10.Just last year, Colorado traded star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki in the days before the non-waiver deadline. This summer, the outlook feels different, the future more promising.Were playing really well. Its really exciting, where were at right now, second baseman DJ LeMahieu said. I see us keeping it rolling, too.We believe in ourselves. You cant fake believing in it, and we believe in it.After the first pitch was delayed 38 minutes by rain, Chad Bettis recovered from a shaky start and yielded three runs in six innings. He retired his final 10 batters (five on strikeouts) as Colorado -- long a wasteland for pitchers -- broke the club record with its 20th quality start this month.Its huge for us, especially for our starting staff, and we just have to keep it rolling and see what we can do, Bettis said. We know that whoever is going out there on any given day is going to get the job done.Walker also had an RBI triple, extending his recent tear at the plate, and Jeurys Familia rebounded from consecutive blown saves. New York sustained another costly injury, this one to shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera, but snapped a four-game skid that matched its longest this season.Playing without ailing slugger Yoenis Cespedes, the Mets averted a four-game sweep and finished 1-6 against the Rockies this year. Before that, New York took 11 straight from Colorado -- including a 7-0 mark last season.Its a huge win for us, manager Terry Collins said.Alejandro De Aza walked with one out in the seventh and, one out later, James Loney drew a 10-pitch walk from Logan (1-1). Walker drove his 17th homer to left-center, pumped his fist after crossing the plate and eventually came out for a curtain call.Logan had not allowed a home run since Peter Bourjos connected for St. Louis on June 9 last year. The left-handers streak lasted 45 2/3 innings.Hes been close to perfect this year, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. To go 5-2 on this road trip, I think our confidence is about as high -- certainly as high as its been all year.Addison Reed struck out three in a one-hit eighth, and Familia fanned two in a perfect ninth for his major league-leading 37th save in 39 attempts.PLAY AT THE PLATEGonzalez tried to score from third with two outs in the fifth on a pitch that got past Rene Rivera, but plate umpire Jeff Kellogg ruled the Mets catcher made the tag in time as both players dove headlong toward the plate. After a replay review, the call stood. I was definitely safe. I dont know what they were looking at, Gonzalez said.FOR STARTERSMets All-Star Noah Syndergaard threw a career-high 118 pitches over six innings. Bettis matched his career best with eight strikeouts. Both pitchers are from Texas and they train together in the offseason. It was fun, Bettis said.TRAINERS ROOMRockies: Rookie SS Trevor Story sat out with a jammed left thumb that he injured Saturday night. Story, who began the day leading the NL with 27 home runs, said his goal is to return Tuesday at home against the Dodgers. He might have an MRI on Monday after the Rockies return home, the team said. ... Slumping 3B Nolan Arenado was out of the lineup for rest but entered on defense in the seventh.Mets: Cabrera hurt his left knee while scoring from first base on Walkers two-out triple in the first.UP NEXTFollowing a day off, Colorado begins an eight-game homestand Tuesday night. RHP Jon Gray (7-4, 3.94 ERA) pitches against Los Angeles, looking to improve his 4-0 record at Coors Field. Gray has gone seven innings and allowed no more than one run in three straight starts, but has a 6.55 ERA in two outings against the Dodgers this year. Jordan Hicks Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. Nigel Bradham Jersey . -- Eastern Kentucky thrives off creating havoc for others. http://www.cheapeaglesjerseysauthentic.com/?tag=authentic-harold-carmichael-jersey . -- Most satisfying to Russ Smith about No. For most people, a car accident on a treacherous stretch of road would teach them to slow down.But not Mumbai taxi drivers, it seems, nor Trevor Bayliss.For Bayliss has reacted to Englands defeat in the third Test by suggesting Englands batsmen should be more positive. The fault, he believes, is that they were too defensive in Mohali.It didnt seem Moeen Ali was too defensive when he was caught at deep backward square in the first innings, or mid-on in the second. And it didnt seem Jos Buttler was too defensive when he was caught at extra cover in the first innings and deep midwicket in the second. The same might be said about Ben Stokes first-innings dismissal, when he charged down the pitch and was stumped, or Joe Roots, when he missed an attempted pull against the first ball of spin he faced.But Bayliss is convinced that the secret of Englands success is to be found in them playing more positive - and, specifically, less defensive - cricket.I thought we gifted them a number of our wickets, Bayliss said, as he reflected on the Test. Weve got to make them work a little harder.When we have been a little bit more defensive, we look like wickets waiting to happen. As soon as were a little bit more positive, rotating the strike and hitting a boundary when the opportunity comes, it puts pressure on the opposition.Yes, it might get you out once or twice. But with the batting order weve got, theres going to be a number of guys that do score runs, and that puts some pressure on the opposition.We all know what Bayliss means, of course. He means that bowlers can be hit off a length or close fielders pushed back. He means that, if batsmen can make the bowlers lives uncomfortable, they are unable to go on the attack and batting becomes more straightforward.It might be relevant, though, that the greatest run-scorer in Englands Test history is the most defensive player in the side. And it might be relevant that, while England have tried several aggressive opening partners for Alastair Cook, it has been Haseeb Hameed, the man with the tightest defensive technique, who looks most likely to fill the spot on a permanent basis.Might the approach of Bayliss and Cook be at odds here? While Cook called upon his team to block their way to safety in Vizag, Bayliss always seems inclined to take the more aggressive option. Might we be coming to the time when this side - Cooks for so long - is changing in nature and needs a different leader to ensure a clear message? It is too soon to say for sure, but they do seem to have a notably different ethos to batting and if there is one thing a dressing room desires, it is clarity.Bayliss has been successful in a couple of important areas. He has created an environment in which his teams feel both relaxed and motivated - which is probably the key role of a coach at this level - and he has, in limited-overs cricket, established a clear ethos: all-out attack. And while the change in approach in limited-overs cricket may have begun just before Bayliss took charge - Paul Farbrace was stand-in coach for the watershed series against New Zealand - he has consolidated and improved it. Wendell Smallwood Jersey. He deserves credit for those things.But the longer he has been in office, the more the faults become apparent.For a start, he has little idea of the best players in county cricket. He is not really to blame for this - the England schedule is unrelenting and there is no way he can become steeped in the domestic game as an international coach should be - but it is a reason why his appointment was, in some ways, flawed. Maybe it is why England seem to pick their spinners by looking at the batting averages.His approach to support coaches is also questionable. While there are good motivations for reducing the number of support staff travelling with the squad - the aim was to make the dressing room a little quieter, the message to the players a bit more consistent and to encourage them to think for themselves more - it has also had less welcome consequences.The absence of a full-time fielding coach, for example (Bayliss and Farbrace now lead the fielding sessions), might well be one of the reasons that discipline has become so inconsistent, while the improvement of the spinners (especially Adil Rashid) since the short-term appointment of Saqlain Mushtaq begs the question: why do England not have access to such expertise more often?Most of all, Baylisss approach to Test cricket looks unsophisticated. In a format of the game where patience and discipline have always been important, he instead preaches the virtues of aggression and positivity. Instead of building the batsmens games from a defensive base - like Hameed - he seems more inclined to stuff the line-up with sufficient aggressive players and allrounders that the inevitable failures of some can be mitigated by others. At times, Bayliss sounds like the coach shouting: Score at 10 an over, but dont get out. At times, he seems like the man driving home as fast as he can to get through the fog.Can that approach work? Its entertaining, for sure, and it may bring the best out of some players. But as they have found in Australia of late, the best Test batsmen are not necessarily the ones with the greatest array of strokes or the ability to hit the ball furthest. They are ones who can see off the new ball and have the technique to play the spinning one. They are the ones who know which balls to play and have the patience and confidence to weather the tough periods. They are ones who have the defensive techniques that allow them still to be at the crease when the poor ball is delivered.But, not for the first time, it seems England have embraced an Australian approach - on this occasion, an overly aggressive attitude to batting - just as the rest of the world has realised its drawbacks.
