THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. Steve Mandanda Jersey . -- Los Angeles Rams coach Jeff Fisher said he is not concerned about his job even though so much negativity has surrounded him during the teams 4-7 season.On Sunday, there was the Rams?49-21 blowout loss?to the New Orleans Saints, their sixth defeat in a span of seven games. On Monday and Tuesday, there was a public spat with Rams legend Eric Dickerson that went viral, with Dickerson vowing to never attend games so long as Fisher is the teams coach. On Wednesday, Fisher was ridiculed by New England Patriots reporters who came away thinking he could not name the teams running backs on a conference call.Meanwhile, fans and pundits everywhere continue to clamor for his firing and continue to reference his infamous comments in an episode of HBOs Hard Knocks, in which he vowed to not put up with 7-9 bulls---.Fishers Rams would be lucky to even finish 7-9.We opened our world to Hard Knocks, Fisher said when asked about those comments after Wednesdays practice. Those comments came after a couple of issues that we had. Ive never been satisfied with 7-9 or 8-8. Ive had a number of winning seasons. Im not concerned. I dont look over my shoulder, like Ive said over and over again. Im not concerned about my job. I have a great relationship with [Rams owner Stan Kroenke]. He understands the difficulties that were placed on this organization as far as the move is concerned. And Im moving forward optimistically with this team.A deal might not officially be in place, but the expectation remains that Fisher will be back next season, along with general manager Les Snead, who also is in the final year of his contract.Fishers Rams have finished no better than 7-8-1 since he arrived in 2012, though the organization lost 65 of 80 games in the five seasons leading up to that. In 14 of his 20 full seasons as an NFL head coach, Fishers teams have failed to sport a winning record. He now has 163 career losses, two away from tying Dan Reeves for the NFL record with five games remaining this season.But the Rams higher-ups have given him the benefit of the doubt, privately throughout the year and publicly recently.Everybody will want to judge Jeff through the prism of just the record, but thats totally unfair when you look at the set of circumstances he was handed this year, Rams COO Kevin Demoff told NFL.com. It was different than any team in the NFL. ... We moved halfway across the country, then had [organized team activities] in Oxnard. Training camp was in Irvine, now were in Thousand Oaks. We moved coaches and players and families. To provide leadership and consistency, hes done a model job.Fans who already were getting fed up with the teams perpetual mediocrity were set off when Dickerson revealed that Fisher, in his mind, banned him from being on the sideline during games because his comments made players uncomfortable. That prompted analysts throughout the country to loudly proclaim that Fisher needs to be let go.And as if that wasnt enough, Fisher used the names Brandon and Danny when talking about the Patriots running backs beyond LeGarrette Blount in a conference call with Patriots reporters on Wednesday, even though the group consists of James White and Dion Lewis. Brandon is Brandon Bolden, a running back who plays exclusively on special teams, and Danny is Danny Amendola, a receiver.Fisher knows Amendola is a receiver, of course, and he was probably just lumping him in with all the other dynamic players on the Patriots. But it has just been that kind of week for him.Over the years, Ive learned to realize that the most important thing is to be consistent, Fisher said. You need to be consistent to do this. Consistency through the wins, consistency through the losses, and just keep moving your team forward. You guys have been out here, youve seen these guys. They love to practice, they like each other.We went through some trying things over time. I had a player in particular who lost his grandfather last night. And I had a coach that his son gave birth to his grandson. As a family, you stress those things, and you stress the importance of coming to work every day and how lucky we are. We had a good example of the circle of life today with respects to our team. NGolo Kante Jersey . Anthony Davis had 31 points and 17 rebounds in his seventh straight game with more than 20 points, but that was only enough to keep the Pelicans competitive into the final minutes. Andrew Bogut had 10 points and 15 rebounds for Golden State, which rebounded from a loss a night earlier in Oklahoma City and snapped a two-game skid. Adil Rami France Jersey .com) - The Chicago Blackhawks aim for their third three-game winning streak of the season when they host the struggling Edmonton Oilers in Sundays battle at the United Center. http:///...allet-france-jersey/ . Meanwhile, there were huge victories for Sunderland and West Ham over fellow relegation rivals, leaving the battle to avoid the drop up for grabs with the bottom 11 teams separated by just six points. Eden Hazard and Fernando Torres scored second-half goals to seal a fourth straight victory for Chelsea, which climbed above Arsenal and Manchester City in the standings ahead of their games on Monday and Sunday respectively. NEW YORK -- The struggling Mets are finally starting to get healthier. They just hope their hitters return in time to salvage the season.Jose Reyes was back in the leadoff spot Saturday night, activated from the disabled list before New Yorks game against San Diego. The speedy switch-hitter played shortstop in place of Asdrubal Cabrera, sidelined since Aug. 1 with a strained tendon in his left knee.Cabrera is making progress, however, and the team hopes he can return next weekend in San Francisco, manager Terry Collins said.Collins sounded even more confident about slugger Yoenis Cespedes coming off the DL when hes eligible on Friday. Cespedes has been out since Aug. 4 with a strained right quadriceps and is scheduled to begin playing rehab games Monday with Class A St. Lucie.It was welcome news for a Mets team that later snapped a four-game losing streak by beating the Padres 3-2 in 11 innings. Reyes drew a walk in the first and came around to score.Ranked 29th out of 30 major league clubs in runs, the defending NL champions (58-58) are 2 1/2 games behind St. Louis for the leagues second wild card. They are 11-20 since Cespedes first got injured on July 8.Those guys cannot get back at a better time, Collins said. We need `em. We need their leadership, besides their playing ability.New York also called up right-hander Gabriel Ynoa from Triple-A Las Vegas to provide a potential long man in a bullpen that threw 6 1/3 perfect innings Friday night.Ynoa, who was 10-5 with a 4.42 ERA as a starter in the minors, pitched a perfect inning to win his major league debut.If you want something in life and you put your mind to it, you can accomplish it. I was very emotional today to have this opportunity, he said through a translator.Right-hander Logan Verrett and infielder Matt Reynolds were optioned to Triple-A. Verrett, whho had been filling in for injured starter Matt Harvey, lost his spot in the rotation Friday night after allowing a career-high eight runs -- including four homers -- in 2 2/3 innings of an 8-6 loss to the Padres. NGolo Kante France Jersey. eft-hander Jonathon Niese is now scheduled to take that next turn in the rotation Wednesday night at Arizona. It would be Nieses first start for the Mets since he was reacquired from Pittsburgh at the Aug. 1 trade deadline.Hopefully, he can give us those quality innings that were going to need as we finish up the last couple months, Collins said.Reyes went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts and is hitting .225 with three homers and eight RBI in 71 at-bats. He had been sidelined since July 27 with a strained muscle on his left side and played a pair of rehab games at third base with Class A Brooklyn, going 2 for 6 with a double, three runs, two walks and two stolen bases.His energys going to bring something here, Collins said.Released by Colorado this season after serving a domestic-violence suspension, Reyes joined the Mets in early July and initially shifted from his natural shortstop position to third base to fill in for injured captain David Wright.Cespedes worked out Saturday and is expected to be the designated hitter for St. Lucie on Monday. Then he would play the outfield in the following days, Collins said.Weve talked to him on the phone and he said, `Ill see you Thursday in San Francisco, Collins said.When the outfielder returns, Collins said he might try to keep playing Cespedes in left field rather than center to protect his legs.Cabrera ran and took grounders and batting practice Saturday. He could begin playing minor league rehab games Tuesday, Collins said. ' ' '
