MONTREAL -- After three consecutive tournament exits against low-ranked opponents, Roger Federer pulled out of next weeks Rogers Cup without giving a reason Friday. Mike Gillislee Jersey . The owner of a record 17 Grand Slam titles did recently complain about a bad back, however. Federer, who turns 32 next Thursday, made the unusual move of participating in a pair of minor clay-court tournaments in the period between playing on Wimbledons grass and shifting to the North American summer hard-court season. A loss to 116th-ranked Sergiy Stakhovsky in the second round at the All England Club ended Federers streak of reaching the quarter-finals at 36 consecutive major tournaments. It also marked Federers earliest Grand Slam exit since 2003. Next came a semifinal loss on clay at Hamburg to 114th-ranked qualifier Federico Delbonis, followed by a defeat against 55th-ranked Daniel Brands in Federers opening match on clay at Gstaad, Switzerland. In addition to his bothersome back, a recurring issue, Federer was experimenting with a new, larger racket at those tournaments. Still, those results are not the sort Federer usually produces. This has been a tough season by his standards: He is 30-10 with one title in 2013. After Wimbledon, Federer tumbled to No. 5 in the ATP rankings, the first time in a decade hes been that low. Missing Montreal limits his hard-court preparation for the U.S. Open, the years last Grand Slam tournament, which begins Aug. 26. "I am disappointed not to be playing in Montreal next week," Federer said in a statement released by the tournament, which starts Monday. "It is a great tournament with amazing fans. I look forward to competing there in the future." He won the Rogers Cup when it was played in Toronto in 2004 and 2006. Federer lost to Novak Djokovic in the 2007 final at Montreal. Federers withdrawal diminishes a Montreal field that already was missing No. 8 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and former top-10 player Mardy Fish. In addition, the tournament announced Friday that Viktor Troicki and Marin Cilic wont compete. Troicki was recently suspended for 18 months by the International Tennis Federation for failing to provide blood for a drug test. He is appealing that ruling. Cilic pulled out of Wimbledon, citing an injury; he reportedly is facing a doping suspension, but the ITF has not confirmed or denied whether that is true. Ivan Dodig of Croatia and Pablo Andujar of Spain were added to the Montreal field. Deatrich Wise Jr Jersey . "Trying to breathe," he said with a grin. Bernier stopped 42 of 43 shots on Monday night, including all 22 in a hectic middle frame, his heroic performance propelling the Leafs toward an undue point in their final game before the Christmas break. Rob Gronkowski Jersey . Scott Kazmir allowed four hits in seven shutout innings, Michael Brantley hit a two-run homer in a three-run first inning and the Indians maintained their hold on an AL wild-card spot with a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night. http://www.patriotsauthenticshop.com/Patriots-Donald-Trump-Draft-Jersey/ . Emery skated the length of the ice and fought an unwilling Holtby during the third period of the Flyers 7-0 loss Friday night in Philadelphia. He was given 29 penalty minutes, including a game misconduct. But Emery did not face even a disciplinary hearing with NHL senior vice president of player safety Brendan Shanahan because rules 46.Antonio Conte must turn Chelsea back into Premier League title contenders to be a success at Stamford Bridge, according to Ray Wilkins. Current Italy coach Conte was officially confirmed as the Blues new permanent head coach on a three-year deal on Monday and will take up the reins following the conclusion of the 2016 European Championship in France this summer.Chelsea flirted with the relegation zone this season following a disastrous start to their Premier League title defence, before Guus Hiddink steadied the ship following the dismissal of Jose Mourinho in November. Conte won three Serie A titles with Juventus before resigning in 2014 and Wilkins believes similar domestic dominance is required at Chelsea.  Chelsea appoint Conte Chelsea have confirmed Antonio Conte will become their new permanent head coach after Euro 2016... He is very keen on the European scene, Mr Abramovich, but they have to compete in the Premier League as well, Wilkins told Sky Sports News HQ. To win your own title is vitally important for a club like Chelsea and domestically, you have to get your house in order. Its your bread and butter football, the Premier League, and thats the one we all want to win. Its all OK winning the Champions League, but they have to get back on a sure footing. Will Conte fit? What should we expect from the new Chelsea boss? He has done exceptionally well at Juventus, so there is no reason why he couldnt do very well at Chelsea. Jeremy Hill Jersey. He is a youthful, energetic character and I am sure he will do a good job.This year they (Chelsea) have had a bit of a torrid time and it has not been pleasant to watch, but Antonio comes in with a clean sheet behind him. He did a fantastic job with Juventus and did create a fortress there. He changed different systems there, he went three at the back for a long period and they were very successful. So, it will be very interesting to see how he goes.Wilkins also believes Conte may look to keep Chelsea captain John Terry at the club next season. Terry is out of contract at the end of the current campaign and is yet to be offered a new deal to remain with Chelsea. John Terry is an exceptional player and he will be for the next couple of years, whether he is at Chelsea or elsewhere and I think Antonio will want to use his experience, picking his brains a touch as to what he is actually coming into, Wilkins added.

The Tampa Bay Lightning are parting ways with their longest-serving player, as the club will buy out the rest of Vincent Lecavaliers 11-year, $85 million contract. http://www.49ersrookiestore.com/49ers-Ya-Tittle-Jersey/ . "Vinny has been a significant reason for many of our past successes, including the 2004 Stanley Cup, and his contributions to the community are immeasurable," said general Steve Yzerman in a statement on Thursday. "The Lightning organization is indebted to Vinny; we thank him for all he has done here and we wish him well as he moves forward. "After much internal deliberation, we believe this will prove to be a pivotal move for us as we strive to achieve our long term goal of competing at the highest level, year-in, year-out. The economics and structure of the CBA are necessitating this decision and we at the Lightning are excited at the newly created opportunities this presents to us." A compliance buyout of the the deal - paying out a total of $32.67 million - rids the Lightning of a $7.727 million salary cap hit through the 2019-20 season. Lecaveliers agent Kent Hughes was a guest on The Montreal Forum on TSN 690 Radio and said he spoke to Lightning management about his clients situation. "We understood that his contract and its structure - its cap number - were problematic for the Lightning," said Hughes. "I spoke with Steve Yzerman when the season ended and said to him that I didnt want to go through the next few months pretending that we dont see or acknowledge that this may be an issue. We acknowledge it; we dont want you to ignore it. Just let us know and the more informed we are the better the process will be if thats the decision that you take." Lecavalier, 33, had 10 goals and 22 assists in 39 games last season. He spent his entire 15-year NHL career with the Lightning, scoring 383 goals and 874 points in 1,037 regular season games and helped lead the Lightning to their first-ever Stanley Cup victory in 2004. http://www.49ersrookiestore.com/49ers-Patrick-Willis-Jersey/ .

The pride of Weyburn, Sask. http://www.49ersrookiestore.com/49ers-Jimmy-Garoppolo-Jersey/ .com) - The Montreal Canadiens embark on their first road trip of the season as they head out west to battle the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night. GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Packers coach Mike McCarthy has said no one man can change the fortunes of a team.But in Clay Matthews and Christine Michael, Green Bay has two players who can only help in areas on opposite sides of the ball in which production has tailed off late.Matthews on Thursday practiced for a second straight day on a limited basis, a positive step for the Packers best edge rusher. The long-haired linebacker has been out the past three games with a hamstring injury.Matthews has been around Lambeau Field for a while, unlike Michael, the newest Packer.Claimed off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday, Michael took a redeye from Seattle and arrived at Lambeau at about 9:45 a.m.Less than two hours later, he was at Packers practice.The flight was the least of my worries. I was just ready to get up here as soon as possible, Michael said.Grab my playbook, get going, treat my body up well, meet the guys. ... Call this place home and just run with it.Its unclear yet how much Matthews and Michael will be able to play on Sunday night, when Green Bay (4-5) visits the Washington Redskins.The Packers arent used to being under .500 at midseason. Losers of three straight games , two of the biggest areas of concerns for the team are the pass rush and the lack of a running game.These are areas where Matthews and Michael could help.The Packers gave up a season-high 446 yards in the 47-25 loss to Tennessee last week, falling behind 21-0 after the first quarter.The Packers have a respectable 22 sacks on the season, though 14 came in the first four games.Matthews has missed four games this season to injury, including the past three. The 31-26 loss to Indianapolis on Nov. 6 was emblematic of the Packers pass rush problems.While quarterback Andrew Luck is known for his ability to evade pressure, Green Bay managed just two sacks against what was considered a porous offensive line.Oh, I mean, as a team, having dropped what, three in a row now? Its difficult to watch, Matthewss said. http://www.49ersrookiestore.com/49ers-Solomon-Thomas-Jersey/. or McCarthy, getting more production out of the pass rush starts in the early downs with stopping the run. The Packers earlier this season had success with rushing four, but that has waned in recent weeks.At the end of the day as far as how you go about it you want to get those 1-on-1 opportunities, but when you do youve got to win. Youve got to win and get the quarterback off the spot, McCarthy said.What McCarthy hasnt done is add more pressure on Matthews. The Packers have played it cautiously with an injury that Matthews has had in the past.Its not about one player. Never will be. Theres so much more to our football team than just our star players, McCarthy said earlier this week.And I probably should say that in good times (too) but I understand when we win games you want to prop a couple guys up and then when it doesnt go well we want to go the other way, too, McCarthy added. Clay is an outstanding football player, hes injured. Its part of the game.Matthews said on Thursday that he planned to play against Washington, barring the kind of setback he had a couple of weeks ago. It seemed promising then, too, before Matthews ended up sitting out the Colts game.As for Michael, the odds of the fourth-year back being able to contribute in a meaningful way right away seem low. He barely had time to learn the playbook, let alone unpack his bags.In the long run, the hope is Michael will be able to join James Starks in a rushing attack that has needed a boost since Eddie Lacy went down with an ankle injury.Michael ran for 469 yards and six touchdowns on 117 attempts in nine games for Seattle this season, including seven starts.Im just going to get me a playbook as soon as possible and learn as much as possible and see where it goes, Michael said.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL .

PARIS -- Paris Saint-Germain defender Serge Aurier will miss Wednesdays Champions League match at Arsenal after being banned from traveling to London by British authorities. Dave Concepcion Jersey .The French club said in a statement it is stunned by a decision that attacks the very integrity of the UEFA Champions League, while UEFA expressed its deep disappointment.According to PSG, Auriers visa has been revoked by the British Home Office because the Ivory Coast player was sentenced to two months in prison in September for assaulting a police officer. Aurier has appealed the verdict and was allowed to remain free.The match at Emirates Stadium is of crucial importance for both clubs, with the winner guaranteed first place in Group A and likely avoiding tougher opposition in the knockout phase.It is regrettable that a player eligible for the competition will not be able to take part in the match for reasons which are not related to football and its regulations, UEFA said in a statement.Aurier was arrested near the Champs-Elysees in Paris in May following an argument with police after a night out. He denied hitting an officer but was charged with voluntary violence on a person in public authority. PSG said the appeal meant Aurier is entitled to the presumption of innocence and should have been entitled to travel.Paris Saint-Germain strongly regrets that the presumption of innocence has not influenced Britains decision, PSG said. On several occasions, UEFA has also transmitted its total support of Paris Saint-Germain to the British authorities regarding this case, in order to preserve the integrity of its competitions.PSG also criticized British authorities for informing the club at a late notice on Tuesday, despite the club working for the last six days to find a solution to enable our player to travel with his teammates to London.Widely regarded as one of the best right backs in Europe, Aurier is a key player at PSG. But he has also been making headlines for the wrong reasons in recent months. He was suspended for six weeks in February after a video emerged on social media showing him making derogatory comments about then-PSG coach Laurent Blanc, striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and other players.---AP Sports Writer Graham Dunbar in Geneva contributed to this story.

But we did reach out to each other instead of elbowing each other out of the way. (...) We didnt think but acted on our feelings.Hahner blamed her poor finishing time of 2 hours, 45 minutes and 32 seconds -- 15 minutes slower than her personal best -- on the tough conditions in Rio, saying the Olympic race was one of my toughest physical experiences.The 26-year-old expressed frustration at having won the Hannover race in bed.I didnt have a chance to celebrate reaching the finish first, she said. In Rio, I celebrated the final meters. For me it was a victory over myself in a marathon that demanded everything from my body.

The Queensland Firebirds have confirmed their roster for the new Australian netball league, locking in the title-winning shooting combination of Romelda Aiken and Gretel Tippett. http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/Falcons-Deion-Sanders-Jersey/ .But the reigning trans-Tasman champions will be counting on young talent to step up if they are to claim a third straight title after losing captain Laura Geitz (pregnancy), key defender Clare McMeniman (retirement) and centre Kim Ravaillion (Collingwood).Laura Clemesha, who has been an understudy to Geitz and McMeniman for the last four seasons, will form a new-look back court with promising goal keeper Kate Shimmin, lured across from the Adelaide Thunderbirds.Rookie Mahalia Cassidy, 20, has been earmarked as Ravaillions replacement in midcourt.The rest of Queenslands super seven starting side - which won the last two trans-Tasman grand finals - remains intact, with the retention of Jamaican Aiken on a two-year deal the biggest coup.Aiken was in huge demand from rival sides but the 27-year-old said she never intended to play for anyone else.It wasnt a hard decision. Ive been here since 2008 and this has been home for me, said Aiken, the Firebirds player of the year who finished as the trans-Tasman competitions all-time leading scorer.I know where my heart is. The culture here is a credit to Rose (Jencke) and Jenny (Brazel).Its going to be an exciting year and I cant wait to start playing netball again.Coach Roselee Jencke said with co-captains Geitz and McMeninman gone, she will be looking for more leadership from Aiken, now the franchises longest-serving player.Shes the superstar bookend. Were thrilled to have her back and shes a champion of the game, Jencke said.Jencke insisted the Firebirds would lose nothing by swapping Ravaillion for Cassidy, tipped to be a future Diamonds starter.Mahalia is more than ready for the next step and in fact, she was ready this year, she said.She took it to Rav every training session, outshone her at times and really put that pressure on her to perform.Queensland Firebirds: Laura Clemesha, Kate Shimmin, Kimberley Jenner, Gabi Simpson, Mahalia Cassidy, Caitlyn Nevins, Jemma Mi Mi, Gretel Tippett, Romelda Aiken, Abi Latu-Meafou. http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/Falcons-Dontari-Poe-Jersey/ .

The story so farWilson Lionel Garton Jones, grew up watching his uncle, India hockey centre-half OB Massey, play in a Pune billiards saloon close to his home and was hooked. At the age of 18, when he was within permissible age to get into the saloon, Jones burst into prominence. After winning the Evening News of India Snooker Championship in Bombay, he was offered a job at the House of Vissanji and free access to the owner RK Vadabhai Vissanjis billiards table. His training schedule was unrelenting. Jones said he had never missed a practice session in 20 years - neither weekends nor on holidays. From 1950 onwards he was to be easily the best billiards player in the country. He made three initial unsuccessful attempts at the world title - starting with 1951 in London, followed by the world championships in Calcutta (1952) and Sydney (1954).The moment In 1958, the world championship returned to Calcutta, where Jones hit his stride. The world championships until then had been competed for and won largely by Britons, Australians and South Africans. In Calcuttas Great Eastern Hotel, Jones pulled off the biggest upset in the world game at the time - not only because he became the first Asian to win it, but also in the manner he did it. When the final session began against defending champion Leslie Driffield of England, Jones trailed by 661 points. Mild-mannered, courteous and gentlemanly away from the green baize, when Jones was given his chance at the table in Calcutta he turned into a prowling tiger. He ate into Driffields lead, ahead with only 15 minutes left, on the back of breaks of 170, 232, 0, 5, 113, 117, 0, 5, 147 and 33. Driffield returned to the table with nine minutes left, but could go no further than 69. Jones came back for an unfinished 123 and the world title was finally his. It made him the first Indian world champion in any sport since the countrys independence.. http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/Falcons-Duke-Riley-Jersey/. The reaction When the world title came to India for the first time, I can safely say that was the happiest moment of my life. - Wilson JonesNo other player, professional or amateur, could have conceded such a big lead and still have beaten me. - Leslie Driffield, former world billiards championExpert view How he put India on the map in a game which was the white mans exclusive preserve, the manner in which he instilled pride in Indian sportspersons and the inspiration he provided to a whole generation of players who went on to become world beaters at a time when money did not drive the mare, his contribution cannot be viewed only from the narrow prism of the three-ball game. His deeds furthered the cause of Indian sport as a whole to an extent that was remarkable. - Michael Ferreira, former world billiards championThe story since Wilson Jones unsuccessfully tried to defend his world title in Edinburgh, 1960, and then attempted to win it for a second time in 1962 in Perth, but despite close contests against Herbert Beetham and Bob Marshall, Jones was unable to do so. His time though was to come in distant Pukehoke, just outside Auckland, New Zealand in 1964. Unbeaten through the event, he won his second world title in a tournament with a full field, and was equally delighted at the success of his compatriot, a young player like him from Bombay, called Michael Ferreira, who finished third. Jones retired in 1967, after winning his 12th and final national title, beating Ferreira, and having won five national snooker titles in seven finals. He went on to become a valuable mentor, guide, coach and critic to the next generation of Indian cueists - Geet Sethi, Ashok Shandilya, Subhash and OB Agarwal, Devendra Joshi - could dream to emulate.

MILWAUKEE -- Two of the National Basketball Associations hottest teams face off Monday night when the San Antonio Spurs visit the Milwaukee Bucks at the Bradley Center. http://www.bengalsrookiestore.com/Bengals-Carl-Lawson-Jersey/ .The Spurs come to town having won two in a row and 11 of their last 12 games while the Bucks extended their winning streak to a season-high four games Saturday night with a 112-103 victory over the Nets.Giannis Antetokounmpo has been a driving force during Milwaukees winning streak, but Jabari Parker has been a big factor as well, averaging 16.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists during those four games.Hes played real well, Antetokounmpo said. Hes leading us out there. I hope that he can keep playing the same way.The two building blocks of Milwaukees rebuilding efforts are starting to develop their own rhythm and that chemistry is spreading to the rest of the Bucks young roster.It was evident Saturday, when the Bucks watched a 16-point lead turn into a back-and-forth affair in the fourth quarter. Head coach Jason Kidd decided to let the guys on the floor figure out how to stop the bleeding on their own, and the move paid off.I wasnt going to call timeout, Kidd said. I wanted to see if they were going to talk themselves through it because thats what good teams do.Milwaukee has won five of its last six games since falling just short against Golden State Nov. 21. During that stretch, the Bucks have beaten the Magic twice, knocked off the defending champion Cavaliers and then beat Brooklyn in back-to-back games.That success, especially against good competition, has led to increased confidence.Winning games we can (be in) control and sneak up on other teams that are really good, Parker said. Wins like that carry over. Its all about using these habits we get in each win.San Antonio owns the second-best mark in the NBA this season but has struggled out of the gate at times.We cant get it going, Manu Ginobili told ESPN.com. Its taking us a while to get into the rhythm, into the aggressiveness that we need to get leads. Yeah, we are not playing well, but the good thing is that meanwhile were getting wins and were maintaining a good record.San Antonios defense has been a big boost so far. While the Spurs are 19th in scoring this season with 103.0 points per game, theyre allowing just 98.2 -- the fourth-best mark in the league.It seems like in the second half our defense always picks up and we get back into the games because of the defense, coach Gregg Popovich said. Thats a good thing, I guess, that it gets better as the game goes along.Point guard Tony Parker sat out the Spurs victory Friday over Washington with a bruised left quad. Hes missed seven games this season and is considered day-to-day as San Antonio kicks off a three-game swing through the Upper Midwest.We have got a how much better are you meter?

Holmes and Ryan Moore.Europe has won the last three Ryder Cups, including a 2012 win in Chicago when the U.S. led 10-6 going into the singles play.The Europeans would need to win 7 1/2 points in the 12 singles matches to retain the cup.----6 p.m.The U.S. team gave up the first point of the afternoon, but turned stingy in a hurry.Phil Mickelson, playing with Matt Kuchar, got the point back by rolling in a short birdie putt at the 17th to close out a 2-and-1 win over Sergio Garcia and Martin Kaymer. Soon after, Lee Westwood missed a short birdie putt at No. 18 that would have enabled the Englishman and Danny Willett to gain a halve in their match against J.B. Holmes and Ryan Moore.The U.S. led 8 1/2-6 1/2 with Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth 3-up over Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson and assured of at least a half point in that match.---5:10 p.m.Rory McIlroy got the best of a heckler, then paired with rookie Thomas Pieters to do the same to the U.S. duo of Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson, giving Europe the first point of the afternoon four-ball session.Pieters sealed the 3-and-1 win with a short birdie putt. It was McIlroys third consecutive match win and drew Europe even at 6 1/2-6 1/2.Earlier, he got into an exchange with a fan between the seventh green and eighth tee. After officials came over and McIlroy identified him, the fan was removed from the grounds.---3:10 p.m.Patrick Reed has been one of the stars of the show for the Americans so far at this Ryder Cup.Playing again with Jordan Spieth, Reed hit one of the best shots of the tournament to give the duo a 1-up lead at the one-third mark of their four-ball match against European power couple Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson.Reed dropped his approach onto the sixth green just right. The ball rolled back perfectly and plopped into the cup for an eagle and a second straight hole won for the U.S. pair.Reed erupted in celebration, pointing a double-arm pump at the crowd behind the ropes and exchanging hard hand slaps and fist bumps with his partner and their caddies.Further up the scoreboard, Rory McIlroy and Thomas Pieters have taken a commanding lead in their best-ball battle with Americans Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson. McIlroy and Peters were four holes ahead at the midway mark, as the European tandem took the turn for the back nine.---1:55 p.m.All four of the afternoon four-ball matches are underway. The Europeans own an early edge in the first match with Rory McIlroy and Thomas Pieters taking a 2-up lead to the No. 6 hole over Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson.What happened on the fifth hole was hard to believe.Koepka hit a drive off the tee that strayed to the left into the rough, bounced once and onto the back of a spectator standing just inside the ropes. The ball astoundingly stayed stuck there, lodging between the mans back and the top of his backpack.The story only got stranger from there. The mans identity? None other than the father of Pieters, according to the NBC announcers.Koepka had to take a drop, and the Americans were able to make birdie on the par-4.---12:30 p.m.Team Europe has crept closer on the strength of a furious Spaniard rally to finish foursome play.Fellow countrymen Sergio Garcia and Rafa Cabrera Bello halved their match with Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth, and Team USA has a slim 6+ to 5+ lead entering the afternoon four-ball matches.The Reed-Spieth tandem took a four-hole lead to the 13th tee box, before posting three straight bogeys. They squared the 18th hole to preserve the tie, but the Europeans won two of the other three matches to put the pressure on the Americans for the next session.---12:10 p.m.Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed will play all five matches for the Americans. Thats a departure from the last time Davis Love III was captain and made sure everyone sat out at least one match.Love also broke up the Brandt Snedeker-Brooks Koepka tandem after they were undefeated in two matches.Koepka and Dustin Johnson will take on Rory McIlroy and Thomas Pieters, who are 2-0 in their matches.J.B. Holmes and Ryan Moore will go up against Danny Willett and Lee Westwood, a match with four players who have yet to contribute a point.Phil Mickelson is going back out in the afternoon, teaming with Matt Kuchar against Sergio Garcia and Martin Kaymer.Spieth and Reed face Henrik Stenson and Justin Rose, a rematch from fourballs Friday that the Europeans won.Rose, Stenson, McIlroy, Pieters and Garcia will be playing all five matches for Europe.---11:55 a.m.With Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth posting birdies on five of the first seven holes for the Americans in the fourth foursome match of the morning, Sergio Garcia and Rafa Cabrera Bello were forced to play catch-up from the second hole on.The highlight for the Spaniard duo came on the fifth hole. Garcias tee shot sailed into the crowd -- and landed square in one of the course marshals pockets.Garcia and his human hazard shared a laugh, and the Europeans still managed to make birdie.But the Reed-Spieth duo, which vanquished the formidable European pairing of Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson with a 3-and-2 victory on Friday, still held a 2-up lead with three holes to go.---11:25 a.m.Rory McIlroy finally got a victory over Phil Mickelson.Mickelson had never lost any of three Ryder Cup matches he played against McIlroy, but Lefty didnt have much of a chance Saturday morning in foursomes. McIlroy and Thomas Pieters won three of the opening five holes. McIlroy said he wanted to win even more because Mickelson had his number.The American got within 1 down with four holes to play until Fowler missed too many key putts.McIlroy says he and Pieters were never meant to play foursomes, never practiced together and even flipped to see who would tee off on which holes. It worked. They are undefeated in two matches.----10:45 a.m.The Americans are leading 2-0 when it comes to shanks.Rickie Fowler was in a back bunker on the par-3 fourth hole when he shanked it through the green and into the rough. Fowler and Phil Mickelson lost that hole with a bogey and fell 2 down to Rory McIlroy and Thomas Pieters. Europe was 1 up through 13.Brooks Koepka shanked one from the left rough across the 11th fairway. He and Brandt Snedeker were all square with Henrik Stenson and Matt Fitzpatrick.One thing was clear: The foursome sessions were a lot tighter than when the Americans went 4-0 on Friday.---10:35 a.m.Rory McIlroy and Thomas Pieters are trying to ride their Ryder Cup momentum.McIlroy took a bow when the opening day ended Friday, winning a big point that allowed Europe to crawl back to a 5-3 deficit against the Americans. They went right back out Saturday morning against Rickie Fowler and Phil Mickelson and have led the entire way. They were 1 up through 12 holes.There probably was not going to be another American sweep in foursomes.Halfway through the sessions, the Americans were up in one match, trailed two others and were tied in the fourth one. Fourballs in the afternoon were to follow, with everything pointing toward Sunday singles to decide the Ryder Cup. http://www.bearsrookiestore.com/Bears-Akiem-Hicks-Jersey/ .com) - The Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks both take aim at their first wins of the season on Saturday, as the Canucks open their home slate at Rogers Arena. http://www.bearsrookiestore.com/Bears-Jordan-Howard-Jersey/ . On Saturday night, the normally free throw-challenged centre did just that. Howard scored 18 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, including 13 of 19 free throws in a 2 1/2-minute stretch, and the Houston Rockets beat the Denver Nuggets 122-111. http://www.bearsrookiestore.com/Bears-Dan-Hampton-Jersey/ . The winner Saturday will remain in the elite 10-team field next year. "We talked about wanting to be disciplined and stick with our game plan and good things will come," Draisaitl said, who had two goals for the victors. DAVIE, Fla. -- Twelve months ago, when the Miami Dolphins lost on the road to fall to 1-3, they fired their coach.Now theyre again 1/3 after another away defeat, which shows their progress. Or lack thereof.The offense still sputters, with the line unable to carve out running room or keep pass rushers off Ryan Tannehill. The defense still gives up too many scoring drives and cant come up with enough big plays.But the coach isnt going anywhere. Adam Gase is still in the honeymoon phase in his first season, and confident he can fix his teams many problems.I dont think were off-course, Gase said Friday. Everybody wants to just, `The sky is falling. Youve got to keep working. Good teams keep working.The Dolphins arent a good team yet, as Thursdays 22-7 loss at Cincinnati showed. They managed only eight first downs, while the defense gave up five scoring drives of 45 yards or more and didnt have a takeaway.Miamis record isnt surprising -- all three losses have been on the road against 2015 playoff teams -- but the mostly dismal performances have been distressing. The lone win was in overtime against lowly Cleveland, which came within a last-second field goal of an upset.I hope everybodys uncomfortable at this point, defensive end Cameron Wake said. You dont want to be in this situation.Gase, a former offensive coordinator and Miamis play caller, is unhappy mostly with the inability to move the ball. But he said his offense also sputtered early in the season in 2015 at Chicago and in 2012 in Denver, when the quarterback was Peyton Manning.Its no fun going through this part of it, Gase said. But the way this offense goes, the longer youre in it, the easier it gets and the faster you can play.Tannehill sounded even less patieent than his coach about the lack of productivity. http://www.bearsrookiestore.com/Bears-Charles-Leno-Jersey/. It has gone on too long, Tannehill said. It has to be important to everyone who steps on that field. We have to get it fixed right now.In defense of the Dolphins, they did play without six injured starters at Cincinnati, while Gase benched a seventh, cornerback Byron Maxwell, who didnt get on the field. His replacement, Tony Lippett, struggled A.J. Green , who caught 10 passes for 173 yards and a score.Three-time Pro Bowl center Mike Pouncey, who missed the first four games with a hip injury, is expected to return to practice Monday and bolster a line that has been awful. The Bengals sacked Tannehill five times, had seven knockdowns and 10 hurries, and forced him to fumble.Tannehill draws criticism for indecision when the pockets collapsing, and Gase acknowledged theres room for improvement, but added: We need to do a better job of actually blocking guys, too. Everybody wants him to step up. Where?The players are off this weekend and then have four consecutive home games: against Tennessee, Pittsburgh, Buffalo and the New York Jets, who are a combined 5-7.Gase said hell spend this weekend evaluating the first four games. He wants to pare down a four-running back rotation.Will there be other lineup changes? I dont really foresee anything, but things can change over the next three days, Gase said.Lippett remains a starter for now, he said.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve-Wine.

BUFFALO, N. O. J. Simpson Jersey .Y. -- Coming off what Guy Boucher called their worst game of the year, the Ottawa Senators impressed their coach with a comeback effort Wednesday night.Bobby Ryan and Kyle Turris scored during a shootout, helping the Senators beat the Buffalo Sabres 2-1.Backup goaltender Mike Condon made 31 saves, including eight in overtime, as the Senators rebounded from a 3-1 loss in Nashville on Tuesday and avenged a 2-1 loss to the Sabres at home Saturday.Thats a lot of resiliency, Boucher said. Im really proud of the guys because thats a tough back-to-back.Turris scored in the first round of the shootout to match Sam Reinharts tally, and then Ryan put Ottawa ahead in the second round. Condon stopped Brian Gionta on Buffalos final attempt.Ryan Dzingel got a tying goal for Ottawa 7:15 into the second period.Nicholas Baptiste scored for Buffalo, and former Senator Robin Lehner made 28 saves while the Sabres lost their second in a row.Buffalo controlled the action throughout overtime, outshooting Ottawa 8-0.We just possessed the puck the whole time for the most part and had some glorious chances to win the game, Sabres coach Dan Bylsma said.Zemgus Girgensons got a point-blank shot past Condon with 27 seconds remaining, but the puck ricocheted off the back of Condons skate and the left post.Its funny how puck luck works, Sabres defenseman Jake McCabe said. Hopefully one of these days, the pucks going to bounce our way. But we just got to keep doing the right things, create our own luck.Condon has won both of his starts for the Senators since being acquired in a trade with Pittsburgh on Nov. 2. He made 27 saves in a 1-0 shutout of Vancouver in his debut.Its great for a guy to come in and make his presence known like that, Dzingel said. Hats off to him. Two great games.Baptiste gave Buffalo a 1-0 lead 2:49 into the first. Derek Grants faceoff win and a quick pass from Cole Schneider set up Baptistes wrist shot from the left circle. It was Baptistes second career goal and Schneiders first point.The Senators tied it when Dzingel split defensemen Dmitry Kulikov and Rasmus Ristolainen and lifted a shot from the left slot over Lehners blocking pad. Dzingel has scored four of his five goals on the road this season.Buffalo killed three penalties spanning 4:36 in the second period, including a 5-on-3 that lasted 1:24.Forward Evander Kane returned to the Sabres top line after missing 11 games with cracked ribs, but Buffalo was still without its top two centers, Ryan OReilly and Jack Eichel. OReilly is day-to-day with an upper body injury, Bylsma said. Eichel has yet to play this season due to a high ankle sprain, but Bylsma said he could be cleared for on-ice workouts next week.Game notesSenators F Chris Neil missed the game with an undisclosed injury. Ottawa recalled F Mike Blunden to replace Neil on the fourth line. ... F Tyler Ennis sat out for Buffalo with a mid-body injury. ... Buffalo recalled Schneider from the minors and sent down F Hudson Fasching. Schneider was tied for the AHL scoring lead with 15 points.UP NEXT:Senators: Host Los Angeles on Friday.Sabres: Host New Jersey on Friday. Logan Thomas Jersey . But what about the officials?

Its well known in esports that South Korea leads the world in League of Legends and certain other esports. By a long shot. How long?

NEW YORK -- If the New York Mets wind up reaching the NL wild-card game, at least they wont have to face Julio Teheran.They might actually prefer going up against All-Star ace Madison Bumgarner or Carlos Martinez -- heck, even Juan Marichal or Bob Gibson.Teheran shut down the Mets once again, pitching seven sparkling innings as the last-place Atlanta Braves blunted New Yorks bid to extend its wild-card lead, holding on for a 5-4 win Tuesday night.Every time I face them, Ive got a plan, Teheran said.And whatever it is, it works.Hes good. Hes an All-Star. Its not just us, Mets cleanup man Curtis Granderson said.The Mets dropped into a three-way tie with San Francisco and St. Louis for the two NL wild cards. New York nicked the Braves bullpen for three runs in the eighth but couldnt complete the comeback.The Braves have the worst record in the NL, yet have a four-game winning streak. They beat the Mets for the second day in a row and have taken five straight at Citi Field.Teheran (6-10) gave up five hits and left with a 5-1 lead, retiring 15 of his last 16 batters. Dating to the final time he saw the Mets last season, hes 3-0 with a 0.73 ERA in five starts against them.The 25-year-old righty improved to 7-3 lifetime against the Mets. In June, Teheran threw a one-hit shutout at this ballpark, and the two-time All-Star is 2-0 in four starts against New York this year.As for Citi Field, before I didnt like it. Now, its one of my favorites, Teheran said.Teheran struck out a season-low one, but a couple of fastballs up and a couple more inside early in the game seemed to serve their purpose and keep the Mets off the plate.Strikeouts dont matter to me, he said.Jim Johnson pitched the ninth for his 16th save in 19 chances. He struck out Yoenis Cespedes with a runner on first to end it, fooling the slugger badly with a sharp curve.Granderson hit an RBI double during the Mets three-run rally in the eighth.Freddie Freeman walked and doubled, giving him a 40-game on-base streak and a 24-game hitting string. Mattt Kemp got his 100th RBI and Adonis Garcia hit a three-run homer in the seventh that made it 5-1. Jon Lester Jersey. .The Braves have at least eight hits in 20 straight games, matching their longest run in a single season since moving to Atlanta in 1966.Robert Gsellman (2-2) lost in his fifth major league start.

Josh Smoker relieved and walked Nick Markakis to force home the go-ahead run.The Mets took a 1-0 lead in the third when Jose Reyes led off with a triple and Asdrubal Cabrera doubled.ASCENDING ATLANTAThe Braves current winning streak began with two victories at home over NL East-leading Washington.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Iowas recent stumbles have left the program playing for bowl eligibility instead of a championship. Steven Wright Jersey .Its been like that nearly every season since 2010 for the Hawkeyes, which has left open the possibility that last years 12-2 record was more of an anomaly than the start of an upswing.A loss to No. 3 Michigan (9-0, 6-0 Big Ten) on Saturday would leave Iowa (5-4, 3-3) with at least five losses for the sixth time in seven years. Although the Hawkeyes still technically can win the West, the much more likely post-season scenario involves a forgettable bowl to cap a disappointing season.Iowa hosts the Wolverines as a 20-point underdog, its largest such line in recent memory.Historically its a real fine line for us. We really have to be doing everything right. We have to be relatively healthy, and you have to make your own breaks, coach Kirk Ferentz said. All you can do as a coach is ask them to do their best. I think the guys are doing that.On offense, Iowa has reached a point where some struggles seem inevitable. The loss of wide receiver Matt VandeBerg and the limited role that injured tight end George Kittle can provide in the passing game has robbed the Hawkeyes of the ability to threaten opposing defenses through the air.But perhaps the most perplexing thing about Iowas inconsistency is that many of its same defensive starters played crucial roles in 2015.Corner back Desmond King, defensive tackle Jaleel Johnson and Josey Jewell returned to anchor a unit that fell apart against a decent offense for the second time this season last week. The Hawkeyes, who let up 38 points in a loss to Northwestern, allowed a staggering 599 yards of offense in last weeks 41-14 blowout loss at Penn State.According to defensive end Parker Hesse, the units performance against the Nittany Lions could be attributed to a lack of detail.It wasnt one glaring deficiency that bogged down the Hawkeyes, but rather a series of small mistakes that added up to a big loss in a key moment in the season.Thats a troubling sign for a program that prides itself on doing the little things well.Thats kind of the way its been in our losses this year, and thats something we have to work on, Hesse said. Its different things. But its more a mindset of always being on top of our stuff at all times.Despite the fact that an underwhelming season appears likely to be Iowas fate, the program isnt in quite the precarious situation it was in prior to last season.The Hawkeyes gleaming new facility has already paid off, with Iowa in line for its best recruiting class in years come February. The contract extension that coach Kirk Ferentz signed earlier this season should also help the Hawkeyes bring in more talented players lured by the stability of the coaching staff.But Iowa still has three games and possibly a bowl bid to play for in 2016. Those matchups represent a chance for the Hawkeyes to regain their momentum heading into the offseason -- but that can only happen if they get back to trusting each other as much as they did a year ago.Everybody just has to do a better job of focusing on their job, making sure theyre not trying to compensate for anybody else, running back LeShun Daniels Jr. said. Its more of a trust factor, getting back to believing in each other, that we can do it if we put our minds to it.---More college football from The Associated Press at www.collegefootball.ap.org Cheap Red Sox Jerseys Authentic . -- If this was Aaron Gordons final home game at Arizona, and it almost certainly was, then he went out in style. Eduardo Nunez Jersey .

On Tuesday, Ottawa placed forward Cory Conacher and defenceman Joe Corvo on waivers as trade rumours swirl around the Senators. PHILADELPHIA -- The Kansas City Royals won two straight American League pennants and captured the 2015 World Series behind a batting order whose motto was keep the line moving.The narrative went a lot more smoothly when the line wasnt frayed in so many places. Three months into the season, the Royals rank 14th in the American League in runs, and manager Ned Yosts lineup cards are a monument to improvisation. Mike Moustakas is out for the year with a torn knee ligament. Alex Gordon just returned from the disabled list. Lorenzo Cain just went on the disabled list. Kendrys Morales looked downright somnambulant in April and May before hitting .402 in June, and Alcides Escobars penchant for swinging at everything isnt quite as endearing as it was in the 2015 postseason.Given the circumstances, Eric Hosmer picked an optimal time to raise his game to the next level. Through Fridays 4-3 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies, Hosmer leads Kansas City in batting average (.304), hits (93), runs (43), doubles (18), total bases (149), walks (29) and OPS. (.851), and hes tied for second on the team in home runs with 12. He even has a two-homer game against Chris Sale, a distinction that should qualify him for some kind of award.Hosmer held a lead of about 600,000 votes over Detroits Miguel Cabrera in the latest round of American League All-Star balloting, and he appears to be a lock to represent the Royals on July 12 at Petco Park in San Diego. Along with Salvador Perez and Cain, he has been one of the few constants for a Kansas City team thats trying to maintain contact with the magma-hot Cleveland Indians in the AL Central.Franchise icon George Brett consistently raved about Hosmers skill set years ago, so the events of this season havent come as a great surprise to the Royals. At 26, Hosmer is at the stage of his career where his accrued knowledge is catching up to his natural gifts.Hes got a better game plan, Royals manager Ned Yost said. Every time he steps up to the batters box, you see him adjusting to situations. His experience and success have allowed him to understand the art of hitting and be better prepared.Hosmer is doing lots of damage while seeing fastballs a mere 50.4 percent of the time (through Friday) -- the 11th lowest ratio of any hitter in the majors. Thats understandable given his gaudy numbers against hard stuff on both the inner and outer halves of the plate.Hosmers success is less a product of mechanical adjustments than an ability to think along with pitchers in given situations. He has made major advances through watching video, studying scouting reports and engaging in a running give-and-take with Royals hitting coach Dale Sveum.The numbers dont lie, Hosmer said. You learn if a guy likes to throw an 0-1 fastball, or if he likes to throw it as soon as he gets behind in the count. Xander Bogaerts Jersey. You kind of adjust to whos on the mound and have a game plan each and every day. When I was younger and I came up, it was kind of see ball, hit ball. Nowadays, especially with the bullpens that teams have, its too hard to go up there and do that.Sometimes its about taking chances and not being afraid to strike out. We played Boston, and I saw [David Ortiz] swing at a curveball that went 55 feet. When you see a guy like him do that, you realize you have to go up there with that game plan and try and take chances. You cant be afraid to look stupid on pitches.Its worth remembering that Hosmer logged only 1,016 at-bats in the minor leagues after signing with Kansas City out of high school as the No. 3 pick in the 2008 first-year player draft. Eight years later, Hosmer and San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey are clearly the crown jewels of that draft.This season, Kansas Citys injury issues have created an opportunity for infielders Whit Merrifield and Cheslor Cuthbert, players who werent necessarily in the mix during spring training. While Merrifield (a .315 batting average) and Cuthbert (.274 with seven homers) have responded admirably, theyve had the luxury of breaking in with a fraction of the scrutiny that Hosmer and Moustakas encountered as perceived franchise saviors a few years ago.Its a little bit tougher when guys have no track record, Yost said. Would you rather have your core group of guys? Yeah, absolutely. But sitting in this seat, its about managing change and doing your best to find players who can cover for you. Its important to keep as much stress as you can off them and have an atmosphere where they can thrive. Our players do a great job of staying loose every day.Not that the Royals are satisfied with the current state of affairs, by any means. Theyre last in the majors with 180 walks and 27th overall with 72 home runs, and their mediocre production with runners in scoring position continues to be an issue. But when the teams best player stands in the middle of the clubhouse and insists that good things are on the horizon, how can they not believe?Listen, Hosmer said. Weve been to the World Series the last two years. Were not a joke. Were confident in what we do and we know were gonna break out of it. A lot of people dont like to give us the credit, but we know how good a team we are.Every day, in the field and at the plate, Hosmer continues to do his part for the cause. With a little luck and some better health, the Royals could have a run in them yet. White NFL Jerseys Cheap Youth NFL Jerseys Wholesale Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys China Jerseys Wholesale Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys 2019 Wholesale Black NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Store Stitched Jerseys Wholesale NFL Womens Jerseys Cheap NFL Autographed Jerseys Jerseys NFL China NFL T-shirts From China Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Youth NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
