James Friday Richards, who had a brief NFL career but is much better known for shaping the lives of hundreds of young men as a high school coach, has died at the age of 64.

Said Cobb County Athletic Director Steve Jones, To many of his players he was a dad. He loved that. He was such a good person. Obviously he was a legend in John Brown Womens Jersey Marietta. He was big hearted, loved kids and was a great motivator. Kids played so hard because they knew he loved them.

The Chiefs played the Falcons in 2016, and Parker made two tackles in Kansas City’s 29-28 win.

Neither has gotten the long-term deal he deserves.

But there’s a difference between Raiders defensive end Khalil Mack and Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald, when it comes to a potential training-camp holdout.

By rule, he can show up as late as the Tuesday after Week 10 and get credit for the contract year. While few players ever do that, the sheer volume of disgruntled players in 2018 raises the odds that one of them will.

Gilbert remains the favorite to win the No. 2 job, but Carolina has carried three quarterbacks every year since 2014.

Hopefully I play well in the preseason, Heinicke said, via Bryan Strickland of the team website. Garrett is doing http://www.cardinalsofficialonlinestores.com/John_Brown_Jersey a great job. Kyle is doing http://www.authenticbaltimoreorioleshop.com/Pedro-Alvarez-Jersey a great job. Cam is coaching us up.

Actually, he never left.
Limited Nike Women's Matt Prater White Road Jersey: NFL #5 Denver Broncos
The veteran wide receiver has participated in the first two days of minicamp with the Cardinals. He was originally here as a tryout player at the team’s rookie minicamp in May, but an injury torpedoed his chance at getting signed.

Little said he’s http://www.footballbearsofficialauthentic.com/Devin-Hester-Jersey.html trying to show he can be useful on special teams as well as offense to improve the likelihood of sticking.

That’s the most important thing, to show I’m a football player, Little said. I can block. I can run. I can tackle. I can catch. Just try to add value in any ways possible and show that my athletic talents can be used all over the field.

Coming in and being labeled a deep-ball guy, Nelson said, I’ve been trying to put the total package together and I feel like with this offense, it can help me with that for sure.

Speed will always be the top attribute for Devin Hester Jersey the 5-foot-10, 160-pound Nelson. Abilities you cannot coach into a player, coach Steve Wilks noted, are always a plus. And once, when Nelson first arrived and he was part of a top-flight corps that included Fitzgerald, the Browns and Michael Floyd, that was mostly what the Cardinals needed from Nelson – take the top off the defense so there was room to work for others.

Nelson has wanted to grow his game. The Cardinals need him to do that.

Last season, with Floyd gone and John Brown struggling, Nelson looked like he might develop into a solid second receiver behind Fitzgerald. He http://www.officialwashingtoncapitals.com/Adidas-Devante-Smith-Pelly-Jersey had five receptions in each of the first two games of the season, and his 120 yards and a touchdown was a Womens Devante Smith-Pelly Jersey big reason the Cards managed to win in Indianapolis in Week Two.

Over the final 11 games of the season, however, Nelson never had more than two catches or 46 yards in a game.

Baker Mayfield apparently did not look ready to compete for the Browns starting QB job

adminLeave a comment

The Cleveland Browns are in the middle of their annual offseason hype parade, although this time around it feels like it might be worth watching, considering all of the impressive upgrades made by general manager John Dorsey this offseason. It starts with the quarterback position, where http://www.officialchiefslockerroom.com/elite-travis-kelce-jersey Baker Mayfield, drafted No. 1 overall in the 2018 NFL Draft, is expected to push veteran Tyrod Taylor, who was acquired in an offseason trade with the Bills.
Elite Men's Josh Shaw Green Jersey: NFL Nike Cincinnati Bengals #26 Salute to Service
Based on one report out of OTAs, that won’t be the case, as Cleveland.com’s Dan Labbe wrote from Browns OTAs and minicamp he doesn’t see Mayfield as ready to compete for the starting job. It’s a small sample size, but Labbe believes the rookie is lagging behind Taylor. More on the NFL 2018 NFL Over-Under Win Totals: Browns poised to be an AFC wild-card contender This is where I tell you that, based on the six practices http://www.officialshopravensonline.com/Tony_Jefferson_Jersey_Cheap of OTAs and minicamp that were open to the media, Mayfield, in my opinion, did not look ready to compete with Taylor for the No. 1 quarterback job, Labbe wrote. He must have received some criticism on this, because he added an update/addendum to the numbered item that noted I mean he simply wasn’t ready to push Taylor for the job and that his statement was not a commentary on his preparation, which, by most accounts, has been up to par.

Tyrod is definitely a guy that we have a lot of trust in and we believe that he’s always going to put the ball in the right places, as long as we protect him and keep him off the ground and keep him on his feet, we’ll be alright. That’s the kind of phrasing that leads you to believe a core group of offensive players, most of whom have played with a lot of young quarterbacks and most of whom have not won a lot of games, are interested in seeing what happens with a veteran under center.

Noah Joseph was aiming for professional development.

He ended up taking the next step in his profession.

The new Rutgers Tony Jefferson Jersey co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach played for Ash at Drake University, and was a graduate assistant on the same staff there and at Iowa State. Once the second signing day passed in February, Joseph wanted to talk shop with Ash. He ended up getting a job with him and leaving Indiana after four years as its safeties coach and defensive recruiting coordinator.

At that point of the season, after recruiting and all that, you’re always trying to do professional development. Where can I go and kind of hone my craft a little bit? Talk NFL, talk scheme, talk fundamentals. There was some technique stuff I wanted to get done, and it all came back to, ‘Let me ask coach Ash,’ Joseph said in the spring.

So when the Travis Kelce Youth Jersey opportunity came, I knew that was the guy I wanted to go do professional development with, learn my craft. If I can work with him every day, that is my personal development.

ESPYS announce nominees, including for best male, female athlete

adminLeave a comment

When it comes to winning the ESPY award for best male or female athlete, a championship helps but the hardware is not necessarily required.

Jose Altuve of the World Series champion Houston Astros and Alex Ovechkin of the Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals are both nominees for the award. But so are New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Houston Rockets guard James Harden.

Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James earned his 14th consecutive nomination for best NBA player and will be going for his third straight trophy. He is up against Harden, Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo and Anthony Davis of the Pelicans.

The nominees for breakthrough athlete are Ben Simmons of the Philadelphia 76ers, Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell, New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara and tennis player Sloane Stephens.

Winners of most categories will be determined by online fan voting that ends before the show airs.

I think the uptick in velocity definitely helps his off-speed a little more, catcher Tyler Flowers said. He had good feel with his changeup and slider. His curveball, not so much. But when you’ve got three out of four with some confidence, those are some good weapons.

The win over the Padres broke a three-game losing streak and gave Teheran his first win since May 14.

He has one career start against the Orioles, and that was in 2015. In that game he allowed five runs in four innings and gave up a pair of home runs.

When you have your arm feeling good, you don’t have anything else to worry about, Teheran said. You just go out there and make pitches. I felt like everything was working.

Bundy will be making his team-leading 16th start. He has received more run support (5.22) than any other starter in the Baltimore rotation.

Bundy has won two straight games and was victorious against Miami on June 17 when he allowed four runs over six innings. Bundy had a longer leash that game, which the Orioles won 10-4. In his two previous starts he had combined for 15 shutout innings, including eight against the powerful Boston Red Sox. In the previous month he’s 3-1 with a 2.50 ERA.

Gerald McCoy has some advice for young players during the down time

As NFL players get a rare break from football in anticipation of football, Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy has some advice for players who are relatively new to the league: Football.
Women's Nike Oakland Raiders #10 Seth Roberts Limited Olive/Gold 2017 Salute to Service NFL Jersey
Young players, you live football, McCoy said recently, via Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. Me? I’ve been doing this nine years, so I’ve learned how to manage everything. If you’re young, live it. Don’t be happy being in the NFL. So what? What are you going to do now that you’re here? Do something with it. Make the best of the opportunity.

Lindsey Vonn and boyfriend P.K. Subban are no longer in hiding.

Making their red carpet debut as a couple Wednesday night, the Olympic skier cozied up to the Predators defenseman, 29, at the CMT Music Awards in Nashville.

They’re in the beginning stage of a relationship where you can’t get enough of each other, a source told People of the pair. They held hands down the carpet, and when they weren’t, he had his hand on the small of her back and she was giving him puppy dog eyes.

Separately, Senator Orrin Hatch has vowed to prepare legislation regarding the issue. According to Purdum, Hatch will focus his effort on bolstering the federal Sports Bribery Act, which D’Angelo Russell Womens Jersey wasn’t affected by the recent Supreme Court decision that wiped out the prohibition on the expansion of sports betting in the various states.

The NFL, which has been working with Senator Hatch’s office, realizes that it makes far more sense to have one uniform set of laws that applies to all Larry Fitzgerald Authentic Jersey 50 states, in lieu of dealing with up to 50 different sports wagering rules and regulations. http://www.authenticnetstore.com/Dangelo_Russell_Jersey This will also make it easier http://www.cardinalsnflofficialonlineshop.com/Larry-Fitzgerald-Jersey for the sports leagues to finagle a piece of the action. Clumsily dubbed an integrity fee by the NBA, the NFL likely will couch it as fair compensation for providing the basis for the betting.

I’m glad to see that they’ve found a way to correct it, O’Hara said. But Eli can still play the game. People forget Peyton [Manning] set an NFL record, threw 55 touchdowns in one season at 37 years old, after three neck surgeries. So I laugh at people that say Eli can’t play, because I know he can play. I know he can throw the rock. And I know that he’s still got that fire. I’ve been around him. I’ve been around him in the off-season. I’ve been around him even last summer. He still has that passion to play. He’s a competitor, that’s what you love about him.

Angels GM denies report Shohei Ohtani will need Tommy John surgery

Shohei Ohtani’s rookie season is likely over, and he may not be able to return to MLB until 2020.
Youth Nike Carolina Panthers #30 Stephen Curry Black Team Color Vapor Untouchable Limited Player NFL Jersey
ESPN’s Pedro Gomez reported on SportsCenter early Monday morning that the Angels pitcher will need Tommy John surgery, which means he’d definitely be out all of 2018. Gomez also added 2019 is likely out of the question, too, as the earliest we might see him, should he have Tommy John surgery, would be the 2020 season.

Ohtani already underwent injections of platelet-rich plasma and stem cells last week. Speaking to reporters then, Eppler said he hoped that treatment John Hannah Authentic Jersey would be enough.

We’re hopeful that he can [avoid Tommy John surgery, Eppler said. That this is completely treatable with the biologic prescription that the doctors recommend.

Ohtani turns 24 next month, and has proven to be a success so far in MLB. He is 4-1 with http://www.patriotsfootballofficialonline.com/John-Hannah-Jersey a 3.10 ERA, recording 61 strikeouts in 49 1/3 innings. He’s also batting.289 with six home runs and 20 RBIs.

After getting off to a hot start, Correa struggled in May, Mike Green Jersey batting under.200 for the month. He’s currently slashing.264/.348/.464 this season with 10 home runs and 39 RBIs.

The Astros (38-25) entered Thursday’s action one game behind the Mariners in the American League West.

Ellis is good at stopping the run and will stay dedicated to that job at nose tackle. Guenther doesn’t have a Geno Atkins in Oakland like he did in Cincinnati, so he will hope to tap into someone’s pass-rush upside. If Hurst is healthy, he would have the inside http://www.authenticdetroitredwingsshop.com/authentic-mike-green-jersey edge first over Vanderdoes. The coordinator also will try to get to the QB situationally with Hall and/or Key, depending on how well and how quickly they develop.

One thing is for sure: With Double A Gap principles and emphasis on interior pressure, the Raiders’ front four will be much more active in trying to disrupt pass plays to match how well they can defend the run.

Shurmur made sure that one of the priorities shortly after becoming head coach was to develop a foundation with Beckham, clearly as the most talented player and perhaps the most polarizing, especially outside of his locker room.

The player and his third head coach since being drafted made sure to get on the same page as far as expectations, scheduling throughout the offseason program and anything else that may come up along the way. 
Women's Majestic Texas Rangers #19 Jurickson Profar Replica Red Alternate Cool Base MLB Jersey
The focus was on Beckham during Tuesday’s minicamp with some taking his non-participation in team drills as a sign of acrimony. Shurmur told the NFL Network that an early morning ESPN report suggesting the team asked Beckham to participate in team drills and he refused was not true, and the latter did everything the Giants have asked of him.

I can really appreciate how hard it is to win a Major, and to win back to back is special and my second major, it’s cool, he said. Hopefully, there is or there will be a few more.

His father wasn’t thinking that far ahead. Bob Koepka walked up the 18th fairway, allowing himself to high five a fan, then asked a USGA official for clearance when he reached the green.

He settled in that spot in the fescue, where he clapped nine times and watched his son make history. Brooks Koepka was about as cool as an athlete could be under pressure at Shinnecock Hills, and watching his father take in the moment, it http://www.officialathleticshop.com/authentic-8-jed-lowrie-jersey.html was easy to understand why.  

The Giants also added guards Patrick Omameh and Will Hernandez this offseason and Ereck Flowers made the move to right tackle as the team looks for the pieces that will yield better results. Should it happen, Solder’s signing will likely wind up at the top of the list of the best moves in free agency this year.

Continuity is a plus on defense for the Bills.

Whether that means Monmouth Park will open its sports betting operation Friday is unclear.

This is a very fluid situation, Dennis Drazin, the track’s operator, told NJ Advance Media. This is fast-developing.

We’re still trying to figure it out, Drazin added.

Officials at the Borgata http://www.officialchargerslockerroom.com/elite-joe-barksdale-jersey casino in Atlantic Authentic Jed Lowrie Jersey City, which has also said its sports betting operation is ready Joe Barksdale Jersey to go, did not immediately return a message seeking comment Thursday about whether they would launch, as well.

NFL taking heat for staying silent on White House controversy

adminLeave a comment

The NFL has no desire to engage the President on the anthem issue or any other actual, perceived, or potential controversy. And so the NFL has adopted a see-no-evil/hear-no-evil/say-no-words approach in response to the cancellation of the Eagles’ visit to the White House, along the various other misrepresentations, embellishments, and/or flat-out lies that have been told about NFL players in the wake of the move. And the NFL is taking heat for its willingness to take heat from the White House.

Reich says Luck will play some, but not much, in the preseason. He says Luck will be ready for the season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sept 9.

The last couple of weeks, my confidence level has started to really rise, Reich said. I can just tell you he’s looked really good in his sessions, and there’s enough sessions that I’ve seen, with whatever kind of ball it is.

The New England Patriots owe high-quality starting guards Joe Thuney and Shaq Mason just $2.9 million altogether in 2018, but even those savings pale in comparison to the discount the Pats continue to get from quarterback Tom Brady. 

Thuney and Mason don’t play a premium position and have yet to make large impacts, while Brady is literally the league’s most valuable player. Yet 15 quarterbacks are better compensated than the three-time MVP in average annual value. 

In no world should Joe Flacco be earning more than Tom Brady. 

Hill played both defensive line and running back before getting to N.C. State, but spent all his time on defense once he hit the college ranks. He did well enough in that pursuit to see time as a starter as a freshman and remained a fixture up front through his senior season.

Philadelphia Eagles decide to return to practice after President Trump cancels White House visit

adminLeave a comment

Their invitation to the White House rescinded, the Philadelphia Eagles have decided to return to the practice field Tuesday.
Men's Nike New York Giants #13 Odell Beckham Jr Elite Royal Blue Home USA Flag Fashion NFL Jersey
On Thursday, May 31, the team notified the White House of 81 individuals, including players, coaches, management, and support personnel, who would attend the event. On Friday, the Secret Service cleared them for participation. These individuals, along with more than 1,000 Eagles fans, were scheduled to attend the event.

Late Friday, citing the fact that many players would not be in attendance, the team contacted the White House again, and attempted to reschedule the event. The President, however, had already announced that he would be traveling overseas on the dates the Eagles proposed. The White House, despite sensing a lack of good faith, nonetheless attempted to Bernie Parent Jersey work with the Eagles http://www.authenticsflyershop.com/authentic-1-bernie-parent-jersey.html over the weekend to change the event format that could accommodate a smaller group of players. Walter Payton Authentic Jersey Unfortunately, the Eagles offered to send only a tiny handful of representatives, while making clear that the great majority of players would not attend the event, despite planning to be in D.C. today.  In other words, the vast majority of the Eagles team decided to abandon their fans.

Luck, 58, most recently served as the NCAA’s first executive vice president of regulatory affairs. Prior to joining the NCAA, which is based in the same city where his son plays for the Colts, Luck spent four years as the athletic director at West Virginia University, his alma mater.

Luck’s resume also includes stints as an NFL quarterback with the Houston Oilers and as an executive for NFL Europe and Major League Soccer’s Houston Dynamo.

We’ve got to be careful not to be baited by Trump or whomever else,Lurie said, according to The Times. We have to find a way to not be divided and not get baited.

Not a single Eagles player, by the way, has kneeled during the anthem. Jenkins, a co-founder of the Players Coalition, raised a first until late last season, after owners struck a deal to support social campaigns led by players. Long, the most prominent white player to speak openly about social issues that concern http://www.officialauthenticbearstores.com/Nike-Walter-Payton-Jersey.html African-Americans, stood alongside his teammate with his hand on Jenkins’ shoulder during the anthem.

CFL coach: Manziel rusty, but encouraging with progress

adminLeave a comment

It Maxx Williams Womens Jersey would have been unfair to expect Johnny Manziel to look smooth and polished, since he hadn’t played since December 2015.
Men's Washington Capitals #74 John Carlson Adidas Green Authentic Salute To Service NHL Jersey
But his CFL coach said he’s encouraged by the progress the former Browns first-rounder has made during his preseason with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

Of course, rebuilding his career has more to do with stringing together positive days off the field as on it, and at the moment Manziel appears to be taking that part seriously as well.

The possible double play became a double error when Bryan Shaw booted the ball, and then whipped it into right field.

Paul has two huge home runs and has a tremendous day and they can’t pick up a ball that you practice probably 500 times in spring training and throughout the course of the year, marveled Arizona manager Torey Linval Joseph Jersey Lovullo. We took advantage of it. Glad we were able to pile on six runs.

Shaw (2-5) entered the game to http://www.officialauthenticvikingsstore.com/YOUTH+LINVAL+JOSEPH+JERSEY protect a 7-6 lead and allowed six runs only one of them earned while getting just two outs in the eighth before leaving to http://www.officialshopravensonline.com/Maxx_Williams_Jersey_Cheap a chorus of boos and insults from the crowd of 43,000-plus.

Following John Ryan Murphy’s leadoff bloop single, Shaw figured he had an easy double play when he got Marte to dribble a soft comebacker.

So did Marte.

Chris Stratton (R), 17 percent, San Francisco Giants at Miami Marlins: Stratton’s had an up-and-down season with a 2.32 ERA through his first five starts, an 8.59 through his next five, and then a 3.60 over his past three. He’s also fanned 16 in those past three after logging just two strikeouts in 10 innings before that. The Marlins are an anemic offense with the 30th wOBA, ISO and home-run total against righties.
