FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Marco Fabian Jersey . -- Tom Bradys return has restored a sense of normalcy to the New England Patriots.Brady triumphantly re-emerged from his four-game Deflategate suspension with a 406-yard, three-touchdown effort in Sundays 33-13 win over the Cleveland Browns.The occasion left Bradys teammates all amped up, in the words of tight end Rob Gronkowski.All is well now that 12s back, wide receiver and special teams captain Matthew Slater said Monday.But in typical Patriots fashion, theyre shifting their focus to next weeks opponent. Only this time they wont have to answer questions about life without Brady.I guess one could say that (its back to normal), Slater said. It felt as normal as it could be the first four weeks, but we tried to just continue to approach our craft the same way regardless of the circumstances.The Patriots went 3-1 in Bradys absence with a combination of third-year backup Jimmy Garoppolo and rookie Jacoby Brissett handling the snaps under center.Their only defeat was a stinging 16-0 loss to division rival Buffalo at Gillette Stadium in Week 4, marking the first time New England was shutout at home since 1993.The way we performed against the Bills was very disappointing for everybody in this locker room, Slater said. So to come out and get that bad taste out of our mouth and obviously get Tom and Rob (Ninkovich) back, it was a good day for us.Ninkovich also sat out the teams first four games for violating the NFLs policy on performance-enhancing substances. He made one tackle in his first game back against the Browns.The returns of Brady and Ninkovich covered up another concerning day for kicker Stephen Gostkowski, who missed a field goal for the third time in four games.Gostkowski missed a 50-yard attempt Sunday, but he did make a 31-yarder. He missed his only attempt against Buffalo and was off target from 39 yards in Week 2 against Miami.Nevertheless, the Patriots still have confidence in the franchises career leading scorer.Stephens one of our hardest-working players and Id say one of the most respected players on the team because of the way he does work and how team-oriented he is, coach Bill Belichick said on a conference call Monday.A more consistent performance from the 11-year veteran would help take pressure off Brady in his first home game back against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.Of course, it seems as if the stage has never been too big for the 39-year-old quarterback.Old Benjamin Button hasnt slowed down yet, Slater said.Game notes Patriots players took pictures in front of Jim Browns statue after Sundays game in Cleveland. He did a lot for the game of football, but he did a lot for black athletes, Slater said. I feel like because of men like him that I have the opportunities that I have today as a professional athlete in America. Belichick met Brown during his tenure as the Browns coach from 1991 to 1995. I think honestly any person, football player or otherwise, can learn a lot from Jim Brown and what he represents and what he stands for, Belichick said, adding that he believes Brown is the greatest player that ever played.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Hector Moreno Jersey . Louis Blues teammates who would also be participating in the Olympics, Alex Pietrangelo felt right at home, no different in some ways to the travel experience of any old road trip – save for the length of the journey, that is.

How great will be revealed in the next couple of days at the board of governors meeting in Pebble Beach, Calif. Major League Baseball uniforms will look a bit different in the postseason, as the New Era logo will be added to the left side of each players cap beginning with the wild-card games, the manufacturer confirmed to ESPNs Darren Rovell.The logo will remain throughout the postseason and become a permanent fixture in 2017.New Eras logo routinely appears on the side of minor league baseball caps and those worn for other sports, such as NFL sideline caps. It also appears on a variety of fashion caps created exclusively for retail sale. Until now, however, MLBs policy has been to avoid having the manufacturers logo on its on-field headwear.The inclusion of the logo, which had been rumored since last week, was first reported by Sportslogos.net.The addition will give MLB uniforms the most wide-ranging portfolio of manufacturer marks among the major North American pro sports leagues. Along with the New Era mark, a typical MLB player will also be wearing the logos of Majestic (jersey and pants), Nike (undershirt collar) and Stance (socks), in addition to manufacturer logos on shoes, batting gloves and otther equipment. Carlos Salcedo Jersey. The move is also the latest step in the transformation of MLB caps into a vehicle for showcasing logos and patches. MLBs familiar silhouetted-batter logo was added to the back of all game caps in 1992, and the New York Yankees and Atlanta Braves became the first two teams to wear the World Series logo on their caps in 1996. Since then, MLB caps have featured a variety of commemorative patches and logos, which had previously been positioned exclusively on jersey sleeves.The New Era logo has appeared on game caps at least once in the past. On April 20, 2005, the San Diego Padres wore a camouflage jersey with an olive cap featuring the companys mark. The Padres and New Era both said at the time that the logo-clad caps had been sent to the team by mistake and that nobody realized the error until just before the game.The first postseason game featuring the new caps will be the American League wild-card game, scheduled to take place on Oct. 4.
