Dustin Pedroia Red Sox Jersey .Ekakitie wrote in a Facebook post that approximately five Iowa City police officers stopped him and four guns were pointed at him as police searched for a suspect who had robbed a nearby bank 10 minutes earlier.My pockets were checked, my backpack was opened up and searched carefully, and I was asked to lift up my shirt while they searched my waistband, Ekakitie wrote. Not once did they identify themselves to me as Iowa City Police officers, but with four gun barrels staring me in the face, I wouldnt dare question the authority of the men and woman in front of me. This is what happened from my point of view.Ekakitie said he did not initially respond to police orders to stop because he was approached from behind and was wearing headphones.In this situation, what the media would fail to let people know is that the suspect had his headphones in the entire time the Police Officers approached him initially, Ekakitie wrote. The suspect had actually just pulled up to the park because he was playing a newly popular Game called Pokémon Go. The suspect didnt realize that there were four cops behind him because his music was blaring in his ears. The suspect had reached into his pockets, for something which was his phone, but for all the cops could have known, he was reaching for a gun. The suspect could very well become another statistic on this day.I am not one to usually rant on Facebook or anywhere else, but with all of the crazy things that have been happening in our world these past couple of weeks it is hard to stay silent. I am thankful to be alive.Sgt. Jorey Bailey of the Iowa City Police Department told ESPN that police stopped a man named Faith Ekakitie because he matched the description of the robber, who is also black and was also dressed in black clothes. Bailey said the officers were not acting undercover and were wearing police uniforms.A University of Iowa spokesman confirmed?Ekakities Facebook account and the contents of his post.In his Facebook post, Ekakitie thanked the officers for acting professionally and encouraged people to be more aware of their surroundings.Pokemon Go is a game in which players go to different locations to find virtual characters that appear on their cellphones. It has become a phenomenon since its release earlier this month.Ekakitie, a senior, played in 12 games last season, recording 13 tackles, including 1.5 tackles for loss, and one fumble recovery.ESPNs Darren Rovell and Dan Murphy and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Fred Lynn Red Sox Jersey . "It was nerve-wracking, but we pulled through," said Collaros, who threw four touchdown passes to lead the Toronto Argonauts (8-4) to a 33-27 win over the Calgary Stampeders (9-3) in front of 28,781 fans at McMahon Stadium.

The two stars revel in the competition and put on a show they hope will pay dividends by the time the games begin.Were here to get better, make each other better, Jackson said. Both guys are out there doing it, just trying to help each other get better and just strive for greatness. Have a little bit of fun, talking, just kind of communicating, going back and forth a little bit.The Redskins have Pierre Garcon with Jackson on offense and DeAngelo Hall and Bashaud Breeland with Norman on defense, so theres no shortage of chatter on the practice fields at training camp.Breeland has impressed with some highlight-reel interceptions and pass breakups, but all eyes are on Jackson and Norman when they are matched up.Jackson is in the final year of his contract, while Norman is in the first of his $75 million, five-year deal. Jackson has gotten the better of Norman so far, but the All-Pro cornerback who was part of the Carolina Panthers NFC champion defense considers practice a game in his own head.Being able to match up with a guy like that each and every time posted one-on-one is only going to make me better because if he beats me, he beats me, Norman said. If he beats me on this play, Im coming back trying to find out how he beat me that first play. So I can come back and look at it like, `Let me beat him now.Even coach Jay Gruden is excited to see the chess match.It will be great competition, Gruden said. When you go out and land a free agent of (Normans) caliber with the success that he had in Carolina and with the playmaking ability that he has and the leadership qualities that he has -- its only going to help your football team.Norman thinks itll help him to work 1-on-1 against Jackson because itll help him adjust to receivers in the East.
Rick Porcello Red Sox Jersey. When the games start counting, itll be Norman vs. Odell Beckham Jr. of the New York Giants and Dez Bryant of the Dallas Cowboys, so this is prep time.Coming from the (NFC) South where we face giants, its a bit different, Norman said. Now just being better with that and understanding to use my tools where I can be physical and where I cant be. Knowing that, D-Jax is going to help me.Its a work in progress as Jackson has what Norman accurately referred to as blazing speed and said his elusiveness is like the Flash. Norman doesnt have stars in his eyes, but is still adjusting to facing Jackson.Ive got to be patient in that and work that patience because hes one of those guys that hell want to see a defender strike first and wait on him to make a move and then he react off of the defender, Norman said.Ive got to be better at being patient, and once Im patient and understand what he wants to give me, then I can play to my strengths and use my tools to combat that. But how many guys do we see in the NFL to try to go against like that?Jackson can say the same about Norman, whose presence has given him incentive to go hard early in training camp.Its a mutual admiration society, even if there might be some fireworks along the way because Jackson wants to get the Redskins back to the playoffs and considers Norman a big piece of that puzzle.He has the work ethic, the enthusiasm to go out there every time, be the same guy and expect nothing but greatness from himself, Jackson said.Vice versa on the other end on my side: I feel like every time I get to go out there to get a rep versus him, Im going to try to play my best game as well, too.Were just trying to feed off each others energy, feed off of each others playmaking skills and just really push each other to both get better and to use this time to get ready for the season.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL
