HARTFORD, Conn. Simon Mignolet Jersey . -- More than 50 former professional wrestlers sued World Wrestling Entertainment Inc., saying the company is responsible for repeated head trauma including concussions they suffered in the ring that led to long-term neurological damage.Jimmy Superfly Snuka, Joseph Road Warrior Animal Laurinaitis and Paul Mr. Wonderful Orndorff are among the plaintiffs who filed the lawsuit Monday in federal court in Connecticut. The lawsuit also names WWE chairman Vince McMahon as a defendant. Stamford-based WWE denies the allegations.WWE placed corporate gain over its wrestlers health, safety, and financial security, choosing to leave the plaintiffs severely injured and with no recourse to treat their damaged minds and bodies, according to the lawsuit, which does not say how much money the former wrestlers are seeking.The plaintiffs say they suffered concussions and other head trauma that resulted in long-term brain damage.Last month, the 73-year-old Snuka was found mentally incompetent to stand trial in the 1983 death of his girlfriend near Allentown, Pennsylvania. His defense partly blames head trauma he suffered in the ring.Unlike other sports including football and hockey where players have suffered similar injuries, WWE wrestling matches involve specific moves scripted and choreographed by the WWE -- thus making the company directly responsible for wrestlers injuries, according to the lawsuit.The National Football League and National Hockey League were also sued by former players who suffered concussions and other head injuries. The NFL settled for $1 billion, while the suit against the NHL is pending.The WWE said in a statement that an attorney for the ex-wrestlers, Konstantine Kyros, has made similar claims against the company without success.This is another ridiculous attempt by the same attorney who has previously filed class action lawsuits against WWE, both of which have been dismissed, the companys statement said. A federal judge has already found that this lawyer made patently false allegations about WWE, and this is more of the same. Were confident this lawsuit will suffer the same fate as his prior attempts and be dismissed.Kyros, based in Hingham, Massachusetts, said on Tuesday that he is appealing the dismissal of two class-action lawsuits against the WWE over concussions, while two unlawful death lawsuits against WWE remain pending. The pending lawsuits were filed by the families of the late Matt Doink the Clown Osborne and Nelson Frazier Jr., who wrestled as Big Daddy V, Viscera and Mabel.The lawsuit involving Osborne, who died of a drug overdose in 2013 at age 55, claims repeated concussions led to drug abuse and depression. The lawsuit involving Frazier alleges his brain injuries played a role in his death in 2014 at age 43 from a heart attack. The WWE denies the allegations in both cases.Kyros said whats new in the latest lawsuit against WWE are allegations the company exploited its wrestlers, including misclassifying them as independent contractors and refusing to provide them with health insurance. He also said there are new civil racketeering allegations against McMahon.It has been the studied practice of the WWE through its counsel to denigrate the motives and integrity of anyone who is courageous enough to protest the WWEs totally self-serving choice to ignore the human toll and health crisis that its policies, fraud and mistreatment of its workers have created, Kyros said. Yannick Carrasco Jersey . LOUIS -- St. Thomas Meunier Belgium Jersey . It was hard for Luck to pull off another comeback, or even get into the end zone, while standing on the sideline. Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie Keenan Allen and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to give the Chargers a 19-9 victory against the Colts on Monday night. http://www.belgiumsoccerpro.com/Youri-Tielemans-Belgium-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. MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Marcus Mariota did everything but sack Ryan Tannehill, leaving that task for his teammates with the Tennessee Titans.Mariota threw for three touchdowns and ran for another score, complementing a defense that sacked Tannehill six times to help Tennessee beat the reeling Miami Dolphins 30-17 Sunday.Mariota bounced back with a strong game after totaling three interceptions and no TD passes in losses the past two weeks. He went 20 for 29 for 163 yards with no interceptions and no sacks, and ran seven times for 60 yards.I saw some open lanes and just ran, he said.DeMarco Murray added 121 yards rushing for the Titans, who totaled 235 on the ground for their highest total since 2009, according to Pro Football Reference. They improved to 2-3, and Miami fell to 1-4.Tannehill and the Dolphins offense turned in another woeful performance aside from the occasional long gain. Rookie Jakeem Grant scored on a 74-yard punt return , Damien Williams had a 58-yard, catch-and-run to set up a touchdown, and DeVante Parker made a 50-yard reception that led to a field goal.But by the second quarter, the crowd was booing Tannehill. By the fourth, fans were chanting for his replacement, Matt Moore, who hasnt started a game since 2011.Do I like it? No, Tannehill said. But it doesnt affect how I play or how I think about myself.First-year coach Adam Gase stood firm by the fifth-year quarterback.Hes not coming out, Gase said. You can ask me 100 times. Hes going to be in there the rest of the season.But Gase acknowledged serious issues on offense.Were inept right now, Gase said. We cant get out of our own way.It didnt help that the Dolphins were without both starters on the left side of their offensive line, and the Titans took advantage while doubling their season sack total. Brian Orakpo had two sacks to increase his season total to six, and Derrick Morgan and Jurrell Casey added two apiece.The Titans Jason McCourty yanked a pass away from Parker for an interception to set up a field goal.Mariota directed touchdown drives of 61, 76, 75 yards and 66 yards. Eden Hazard Belgium Jersey. He scored his first rushing touchdown of the year on a 5-yard keeper , and threw for scores of 5 yards to Andre Johnson, 20 yards to Delanie Walker and 4 yards to former Dolphin Rishard Matthews.Miami, by contrast, totaled eight first downs. Tannehill finished 12 for 18 for 191 yards with two interceptions.GROUND GAMEMariota repeatedly hurt the Dolphins with his running. He scrambled 21 yards to set up the Titans third touchdown, and converted a third down with a 19-yard scramble in the fourth quarter when his team was nursing a seven-point lead.Hes a very dangerous guy back there, Murray said.The Dolphins poor run defense allowed Tennessee to control the ball for nearly 37 minutes.I can assure you guys are frustrated, Miami defensive end Cameron Wake said. Guys are disappointed. Frankly, I hope that everybody is mad and uncomfortable with this feeling, because with the kind of guys and kind of team we have, this should not be happening.STILL PERFECTJohnson improved to 8-0 against the Dolphins and scored his second touchdown of the year.FAST STARTThe Titans, who had been outscored 30-9 in the first quarter this year, scored a TD in the opening period for the first time.MIAMI BIG PLAYSThe Dolphins trailed in yards 195-26 late in the first half but were still in the game thanks to Grant. The rookie scored his first NFL touchdown by eluding five tacklers, including Kevin Byard after fielding the kick.The Titans fired special teams coach Bobby April on Monday, one day after they gave up a 67-yard punt return for a TD.WHATS NEXTThe Titans play Cleveland next Sunday in the first of three consecutive home games. The Dolphins continue a four-game homestand when they play Pittsburgh.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve-Wine.
