Comment

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston will be sidelined for a few weeks as a result of re-injuring his throwing arm on Sunday.

Winston did not play in the second half of the team’s Week 9 loss to the Saints and is dealing with an AC joint sprain and rear deltoid issue, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported.

Seahawks defensive coordinator Kris Richard praised Freeney last week for the impact he had made on the field and also said his presence has helped Seattle’s other defensive linemen.

Dwight’s awesome, Richard said last week. He had a couple of games back there to where he kind of lit it up, and he was the Dwight of old. Nevertheless, it’s really about what he’s giving to the other guys, which is kind of the best of his nature. What made him so successful is his preparation, the way he takes care of his body, the way that he prepares out there on the field, obviously, his practice habits, and things like that.

Somewhere in the third quarter we lost our rhythm, started over-dribbling, got stagnant, Brian Robison Jersey Vucevic said. I don’t know why because it was working so well for us (in the first half). Then we started forcing stuff.

Center Mark Scheifele (11 goals, 14 assists) and winger Blake Wheeler (five goals, 20 assists), are pacing the Jets’ solid start while Patrik Laine is second in goals with 10.

The Jets have lived up to the expectations of being a solid offensive team with the seventh-ranked offense (3.3 goals per game), but the play of goaltender Connor Hellebuyck is another primary reason for the team’s early-season improvement.

Falcons RB Devonta Freeman officially out vs. Seahawks

Comment

Falcons running back Devonta Freeman has been ruled out for Monday night’s game at the Seahawks because of a concussion.

Freeman’s absence was expected but became official when the Falcons released their injury report Saturday.

That’s a big spike in opposing quarterback production when one of those LOB stars leaves the field. This game against Atlanta on Monday night will mark only the seventh since 2011, counting playoffs, in which Seattle has played even a single snap with Thomas on the field while Sherman and Chancellor are off it. That includes only 11 pass attempts over the past four seasons and zero over the past two.

“Do they get radical and try to have Earl down [in the box] sometimes?” an opposing coach wondered. “Or do they play the same stuff and let it ride? The big thing is, Dan Quinn knows everything they are supposed to do — depth of alignments, footwork, techniques and what the disguises might look like if Seattle is going to try them, so it’s a little tougher situation.”

“Jeremy thinks he needs to have ankle surgery,” Lewis said. “I think he’s consulted a couple physicians, both said that this was something that could wait until after the season but he just felt like it was causing too much discomfort.”

Essentially, Lewis is saying Hill’s injury could have waited until the end of the season, and he seemed surprised the back opted for surgery. After all, just three days before his season ended, Hill was talking about how excited he was about playing in the upcoming game.

Marvin Lewis said Jeremy Hill opted to have ankle surgery. Lewis was surprised. Team thought he could wait til end of the season.

Also, Hill had remained off of the team’s injury report until Week 9 when he was scratched from the Jaguars game. Lewis didn’t think the injury was too serious.flyers_1141326

Roger Goodell’s extension to be finalized ‘soon,’ NFL says

Comment

The threat of a lawsuit from Jerry Jones won’t deter NFL owners from extending Roger Goodell’s contract as commissioner of the league through 2024.

So what has NBC decided moving forward? Give the people what they want.

The network announced Thursday it would broadcast Week 11’s Titans-Steelers matchup primarily via Brian Leetch Jersey SkyCam.

After pivoting out of necessity to SkyCam in the New England fog, we’ve been aggressively planning and testing with the intent of utilizing the system for a full game, NBC executive producer Fred Gaudelli said. Younger generations of NFL fans have grown accustomed to watching football from this angle through their love of video games. This telecast will have a look and feel akin to that experience.

Game Kids Lawrence Timmons Jersey Despite his age, Freeney, with 125 1/2 career sacks, could get a look this season after he clears waivers.

No corresponding move was immediately made, meaning the Seahawks currently have an open spot on their 53-man roster.

The Seahawks have endured a litany of key defensive injuries this season, including star cornerback Richard Sherman, but Dion Jordan’s stunning resurgence rendered Freeney expendable.

For years, America’s most powerful sports owner has heaped praise on America’s most powerful commissioner for being a visionary, a grow-the-pie thinker. Jones, now 75, uses a cost-benefit analysis to measure the value of many relationships, and as the NFL grew from a $6 billion-a-year to a $14 billion-a-year enterprise under Goodell, their relationship seemed strong.

The ongoing tension between the Nuggets and their rising expectations. With the justified hope of a playoff berth鈥攖he first in five years鈥攃omes the pressure to measure up.

Game Bradley Pinion Jersey One more chance for the Rudy Gobert/Derrick Favors frontcourt pairing. The best-case: Utah finally has its two franchise bigs healthy and their shared size, skill and commanding presence stands as a nightly nightmare for opponents in a San Antonio-like manner. The worst-case: The NBA’s downsizing trend has passed this duo by, and Favors is reduced to a smaller role or, given his expiring contract, turned into a midseason trade chip. It would be a shame if these two never truly sustained their high-level ceiling.

Attorneys representing Elliott and the NFLPA identified what they identified as several flaws in the investigative approach, like Roger Goodell not Lance Lynn Womens Jersey meeting with either Elliott or his accuser and not making the accuser available to testify under oath at the appeal.

Plus, Doug Marrone had Dareus for the two best seasons of his career and surely knows what he’s getting himself into here. But this is a team that’s built to be good beyond 2017 (football’s best CB tandem and they’re both young, Leonard Fournette, a sustainable pass rush, etc.).

Peppers also move up to fourth on the NFL’s all-time sack list. Still, he wasn’t the only one making life hard on the Bucs. Luke Kuechly, in his first game back from his third concussion in three years, had an interception, a fumble recovery and six tackles. Overall, it was strong defensive effort the Panthers can build upon.

Jeffrey Earnhardt Jersey will not be back in the Ford ride next year

Comment

There also just aren’t many useful defensive linemen available from teams looking to give away talent, especially after the Bills dealt away the Marcell Dareus contract last week. The widespread parity around the NFL means that the majority of teams are still in contention and inclined to hold onto their pass-rushers and interior linemen.
Women's Nike Los Angeles Rams #99 Aaron Donald Limited White/Pink Rush Fashion NFL Jersey
The 49ers, coincidentally, would have been a plausible trade candidate with guys such as Elvis Dumervil and Aaron Lynch struggling to get regular snaps. Belichick could send a late-round pick to acquire a player like Hau’oli Kikaha, but there’s not a defensive disruptor who would be both available and worth a high second-round pick via trade.

Russell Danny DeKeyser Authentic Jersey Westbrook’s latest reinvention. After playing 1B to Kevin Durant for years and then playing 1A, 1B, 1C and 1D without Durant last season, the 2017 MVP gets perhaps his best setup to date. This year, he’ll be The Man and he’ll have real help in the form of Paul George and Carmelo Anthony. Will he thrive in the best of both worlds? Or, will his domineering style leave Thunder fans, and potentially his new star teammates, wanting?

Jeffrey Earnhardt, Bobby Labonte will not return to Go Fas: There will be a new face in the #32 car in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in 2017. Jeffrey Earnhardt will not be back in the Ford ride next year, according to team owner Archie St. Hilaire. Jeffrey won’t be back, St. Hilaire told Frontstretch. We really want to focus on one driver for the year.
Limited Le’Raven Clark Jersey
We’re talking to several parties, but that’s our goal. We’ve been doing this for four years with multiple drivers. Our goal is to find one driver. If we have to, we’ll find two, but not four or five. It’s time to move the program up. Primary sponsor Can-Am has announced they have extended their deal with Go Fas Racing for the next two seasons, with 13 races as a primary sponsor.

A couple of goals we have for next year is to run better, have an affiliation with another Ford team that we’re talking to and hoping the whole team can step it up, St. Hilaire said.

They weep openly after defeats, even as TV cameras hungrily record every second of their pain.

Comment

Ajayi has an 8.1-yard mark in my good blocking yards per attempt (GBYPA) metric that measures how productive a ball carrier is when given quality run blocking. That is 0.3 yards higher than the league-wide GBYPA average of 7.8 yards and is a higher GBYPA than was posted by 18 teams through Week 7, both of which indicate Ajayi is doing a better than average job in this area.

Ajayi also doesn’t lose much in the area of bad blocking plays, as his 1.3-yard average on those rushes is only 0.1 yards lower than the league average of 1.4 yards per carry on bad blocking plays.

This is rare. Actors plaster smiles on their faces and applaud as someone else accepts the award they wanted. Politicians spend their concession speeches encouraging us to work with the person who just beat them. We fake indifference in our own, less public, lives, too. Get dumped, hit the bar. Miss out on a promotion, shake it off. We act cynical and detached as if that will make things hurt less.

In an interview with ESPN UK, NFL UK managing director Alistair Kirkwood acknowledged that this season’s games were “disappointing” from a competitive standpoint but said there was not much the league could do about it.

The Bulldogs are loaded on defense, and the front seven swarms. This is more of a physical offensive line than I can remember seeing in years at Georgia, and Kirby Smart has this program well ahead of schedule. If Georgia is undefeated heading into the SEC championship game and loses a tight game (presumably to Alabama), I wouldn’t have an issue with them still getting in the playoff.

Ball watched rookie Donovan Mitchell Jersey throw down one of the dunks of the season

Comment

Then in Utah, Ball watched rookie Donovan Mitchell throw down one of the dunks of the season on Authentic Spencer Drango Jersey a monstrous one-handed follow slam and then a 3-pointer that electrified the Jazz crowd and swung the momentum before the fourth quarter. Ball took blame for the 96-81 loss, saying that he should’ve boxed out Mitchell and that his turnover led to Mitchell’s 3.

Still, there are opportunities. What if Wisconsin ends up as an undefeated Big Ten champion despite a weaker r锟斤拷sum锟斤拷? Miami hasn’t beaten a top-25 team, either, but could add two to its r锟斤拷sum锟斤拷 the next two weekends, with home games against No. 13 Virginia Tech and No. 3 Notre Dame. Say the Hurricanes beat Clemson in the ACC championship game for three top-25 wins and an undefeated season? It would be tough for the committee to leave Miami out.

Less than a mile down Las Vegas Blvd. from the Golden Knights’ home arena, the concert area is still roped off. There are orange barricades laced with caution tape that says CRIME SCENE in capital letters. A median in the road has become a memorial area with posters, flowers and lots and lots of candles.

Elite Youth Mitch Richmond Jersey The Third Ward, Cal said, it’s genuine around here. Everybody looks out for each other. Once they see you’re genuine and you didn’t come to hurt nobody, you’re cool.

He sighed and exhaled. It’s when people do come aiming to hurt that worries him. His voice got low and a cloud passed over his face.

But as soon as the postseason starts, you’re living or dying on every single pitch, and your whole team is living or dying on every single pitch. It changes everything.

From a probability standpoint, what made Hernandez’s tying single more impactful than Gonzalez’s tying homer were the outs on the board. Gonzalez’s blast led off the inning, while Hernandez came through with two outs. His WPA on that play is the single biggest probability shift of any play in the series. That, and some other clutch hitting by L.A.’s super-utility player, put him on top of the WPA leaderboard all the way into Game 5, when it started changing again with each passing inning.

A signature moment: Springer finally gives the Astros a lead they don’t relinquish, though the Dodgers got a solo homer from Charlie Culberson in the bottom of the inning to keep us all on tenterhooks. However, it wasn’t enough to get the previously struggling Springer into the WPA led for the series. He would get his turn later.

What a wild opening night in the NBA.

But a trade never materialized this offseason. Cousins was franchised-tagged by Washington, delaying the potential quarterback-coach reunion until 2018. Now we know that won’t come to be.

After opening the season in the AP Top 25 , the Vols are winless in SEC competition. It’s a major step backward for a program that had won bowl games under Jones each of the past three seasons.

The 49ers made another late move minutes before the 4 p.m. ET deadline, sending second-year cornerback Rashard Robinson to the Jets.

“It’s a point of emphasis and a point of frustration,” Dantonio said.

“Penn State is the best in the conference at takeaways right now. That traditionally has been our role when we’ve won championships. I don’t have an answer for you (concerning the fumbles). I can just tell you it’s on everybody’s mind.”

Dantonio is less concerned about his team’s resiliency. It bounced back from its other loss, a 38-18 thrashing by Notre Dame, with a seven-point victory over Iowa.

“We did things necessary to win at the end,” Thibodeau said.

Timberwolves: Minnesota’s first six 3-pointers came from six different players. … Towns took only 11 shots from the floor, perhaps a bit of a surprise since Miami was without Whiteside. … The Timberwolves can get their first three-game winning streak since January with a win on Wednesday.

Heat: Miami missed more free throws in the first quarter (three) than in its two previous games combined (two). … Okaro White gave the Heat a big boost late in the third, scoring five points on a putback dunk and 3-pointer that cut Minnesota’s six-point lead to one. … Miami was cold from 3-point range again, shooting 7 for 27 from beyond the arc.

New teammates Anthony and Paul George have been on the other side of Westbrook’s stat-stuffing, but watching him produce on a nightly basis has left them impressed.

“It’s special,” George said. “Man, that’s a special player. He’s solidifying himself early as a Hall of Famer.

“It was crazy to see playing against him, and it’s even crazier to see him doing it night in and night out being on his team. It’s crazy. There’s not a player that’s been in this league that’s been at his [effort] level.”
