NEW YORK RANGERS

LAST SEASON: 34-39-9 Womens C.J. Mosley Jersey , 77 points. Eighth in Metropolitan Division.

COACH: David Quinn (first season, first NHL season).

ADDED: D Adam McQuaid, G Marek Mazanec, G Dustin Tokarski Panthers Elite Jerseys , D Fredrik Claesson.

LOST: G Ondrej Pavelec, D Steven Kampfer, C David Desharnis.

PLAYER TO WATCH: Henrik Lundqvist. The veteran goalie, who turns 37 in March Authentic Stefon Diggs Jersey , is coming off a 26-26-7 season with a 2.98 goals-against average — the highest of his career. It was also just the second time he finished with fewer than 30 wins; the other was the lockout-shortened 2012-13, when he was 24-16-3. With a little more than a week to go before the start of the season, the competition for his backup is still undecided between Alexandar Georgiev, Mazanec and Tokarski. Quinn said neither he nor Lundqvist has a target number of games in mind for the veteran.

OUTLOOK: After being perennially expected to compete for the Stanley Cup Leon Draisaitl Jersey , the Rangers missed the playoffs for the first time in eight years. The team is rebuilding after dealing several veteran stars in a youth movement at the trade deadline last winter. Quinn was hired from Boston University to lead a youthful team that has some veterans remaining. The Rangers hope to stay healthier after a season in which key players dealt with injuries, including Kevin Shattenkirk, Chris Kreider, Mika Zibanejad.

A harbor seal that gained some fame by making annual Super Bowl picks usually incorrectly has died at a Connecticut aquarium.

The 35-year-old seal was named Orange and had been at the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk since 2005. The aquarium said Monday that Orange had been undergoing treatment for cancer.

Orange was the aquarium’s oldest seal. She was found stranded as a pup in 1982 and was rehabilitated at the National Aquarium in Baltimore before moving to Connecticut.

For the past seven years she would predict a Super Bowl winner by swimming to the window of her tank and putting her nose on a picture of the helmet of one of the two competing teams. She was right only twice: the New England Patriots in 2017 and the Philadelphia Eagles in 2018.

FLORHAM PARK Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Jersey , N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets have placed backup offensive tackle Ben Ijalana on injured reserve and signed offensive lineman Gino Gradkowski.

The Jets announced the moves Wednesday.

Ijalana was injured this week during a joint practice with the Washington Redskins in Richmond, Virginia. He was entering his eighth NFL season and sixth with the Jets. Ijalana has appeared in 34 career games and made 13 starts, all in 2016.

Gradkowski, younger brother of former NFL player Bruce Gradkowski Jimmy Vesey Jersey , spent the last two seasons with the Panthers — but both were cut short by injuries. He was a fourth-round pick by Baltimore out of Delaware in 2012 and spent three seasons with the Ravens. Gradkowski also has spent time with Denver and Atlanta.

Before his rookie season, Bears running back Tarik Cohen said that he compared himself to Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill due to his ability to make plays as a runner, receiver and returner.

Cohen spent much of that rookie season making those plays and he repeated the comparison in a recent interview while noting that Matt Nagy is now Chicago’s head coach after a stint as the Chiefs’ offensive coordinator. Cohen said that gives him a chance to “live up to that” comparison.

Nagy said that he didn’t think it was fair to make a comparison between the two players, but that he understands why Cohen and others have connected those dots.

“Well http://www.officialbluejackets.com/authentic-adidas-david-savard-jersey , No. 1, size-wise you see that and you say, ‘OK, they’re pretty similar Da'Shawn Hand Jersey , right?'” Nagy said, via ESPN.com. “And then you have the speed, the shiftiness, the moves http://www.patriotsauthorizedshop.com/authentic-jason-mccourty-jersey , everything that they do. They’re similar in the fact that you can move them around and do different things. As you see on tape, the one thing if you go back and look at simple numbers, you’re going to see that Cohen can run the ball a little bit more from the backfield. Not that Tyreek can’t.”

Hill took a step forward as a receiver in his second season to become an even bigger part of the offense in Kansas City. Cohen averaged just under nine offensive touches a game during his rookie season and an uptick in the early part of the year will be a pretty good sign that Nagy has a similar plan in mind this time around.

The community of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has experienced a lot of sadness and confusion since the game's launch in early 2017. Although the Bluehole shooter game has become phenomenal and engaging, million people, it still has many issues worth criticizing. Optimizations are not good, many bugs, full of hack, .... And now, the $ 10 / $ 225 Event Pass launch continues to Fortnite Items annoy gamers.

Last week, PUBG manufacturers continue to update the trend of "hot" of the current online games: launch Event Pass. Like the Fortnite's Battle Pass or the Rocket Pass, the Event Pass is a progressive charge system that rewards players for decorating items, as they earn enough experience points to level up. Event Pass gives players the opportunity to Buy Fortnite Items earn experience points by completing missions such as "Play 3 battles in a Sanhok map and have at least one headshot" or 200 hp five times in a game.

The Browns got next to nothing for 2016 first-round draft pick Corey Coleman.

Coleman has been traded to the Bills for just a 2020 seventh-round draft pick http://www.coltsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-darius-leonard-jersey , according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

That shows just how bad the entire league thinks Coleman is: If the Browns thought he had any hope of developing into anything close to a good receiver, they’d never trade him for a 2020 seventh-round pick. And if any other team thought Coleman was going to become a good receiver, someone would have offered more than the Bills did when the Browns started shopping Coleman around.

For the Browns, the good thing about this trade is that they get rid of Coleman’s contract: He has guaranteed salaries of $1.5 million this year and $2 million next year, and now those are the Bills’ responsibility, not the Browns’ responsibility. (The Bills will also have a decision to make next year on Coleman’s fifth-year option.)

If Coleman ever shows off his first-round talent on the field, Buffalo just got a steal. But he’s done nothing so far in his career to suggest he’s ever going to look like a first-round pick.

Kyle Freeland has a silhouette of a mountain range tattooed along his right arm.

So Derrick Henry Jersey Big , no, the Denver native doesn’t mind pitching in a little thin air.

Freeland elevated his game once again at Coors Field and the Colorado Rockies scored the go-ahead run in the seventh on a throwing error by shortstop Brandon Crawford to rally for a 5-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Monday night.

Freeland (8-6) settled in to go seven strong innings after surrendering a homer to Gorkys Hernandez on the first pitch of the game.

That mistake hardly weighed on him.

”There were a lot more pitches to be thrown,” said Freeland, who allowed three hits. ”You have to have faith in your offense they’ll come through for you.”

The left-hander hardly feels intimidated by the hitter’s park. Freeland has allowed three or fewer runs in all but one of his seven starts at Coors Field this season.

”To me, it’s still the game of baseball. You have to make your pitches,” Freeland said of his approach at Coors. ”If you don’t make your pitches, there’s a strong chance they’re going to get whacked – hard.”

Part of Freeland’s good groove of late has to do with the development of his changeup. He’s throwing it with confidence – and success.

”There is a poise factor that comes into play when you’re playing this game Golden Tate III Jersey ,” Rockies manager Bud Black said. ”He’s learning this at the highest level. … I love the day that Kyle pitches.”

Scott Oberg threw the eighth and Wade Davis worked his way around a one-out double by Buster Posey in the ninth for his 24th save. He struck out Crawford to end the game.

Madison Bumgarner (1-3) was cruising along until the seventh when he began to unravel. After allowing three straight singles, he was replaced by reliever Reyes Moronta, who walked Nolan Arenado and then allowed the tying run on a double play. Ian Desmond followed with a roller that Crawford gobbled up only to throw wide to first, allowing the tiebreaking run to score.

”Just didn’t throw it 100 percent. I gave it about an 80-percent throw,” Crawford explained. ”One-hopper, I had time.”

Pinch-hitter Tom Murphy added an insurance run in the eighth, with Charlie Blackmon bringing in another on a sacrifice fly. Arenado finished 2 for 3 with two walks.

Bumgarner ran his streak to 22 scoreless innings before it came to a halt in the seventh when he was charged with three runs http://www.packersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-marquez-valdes-scantling-jersey , two earned. Before Monday, the left-hander hadn’t allowed a run since June 16 in Los Angeles against the Dodgers.

”I don’t care about the streak. I’m just trying to win,” Bumgarner said. ”That’s a tough loss. Everything was going our way early on and didn’t go our way late. That’s all there is to it.”

TRAINER’S ROOM

Giants: RHP Johnny Cueto (elbow) was schedule to throw a bullpen session Monday in Sacramento, while RHP Jeff Samardzija (shoulder) was slated to make a rehab start for Triple-A Sacramento. ”It’s a fairly big day in Sacramento,” manager Bruce Bochy cracked. ”Tomorrow, we’ll have a plan.”

Rockies: RHP Bryan Shaw (right calf strain) had a bullpen session Monday and ”threw the ball well,” Black said. Shaw will throw a simulated game Wednesday and may soon go out on a rehab assignment. … RHP Chad Bettis wore white tape on his middle finger after developing a hot spot during Sunday’s start. Bettis was pulled after three innings. ”We’re concerned about him for sure Authentic Customized Chiefs Jerseys ,” Black said.

GREAT GRABS

Austin Slater played a big role in keeping the Rockies off the scoreboard early by making a sliding catch in left field to end the third with the bases loaded. Slater also had a diving catch in the second.

UP NEXT

Giants: RHP Chris Stratton (8-5, 4.45 ERA) faces the Rockies on Tuesday for a second time in less than a week. He allowed five runs over four innings last Thursday.

Rockies: RHP Antonio Senzatela (2-1, 6.23) will be recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque and make his first start of the season Tuesday. He takes the place of opening day starter Jon Gray, who was optioned to Triple-A over the weekend.

Kansas City Chiefs Elite Jerseys

St. Louis Blues forward Scottie Upshall is out indefinitely with a lacerated left kidney.

Upshall was injured Saturday night in a 6-0 loss to the Arizona Coyotes. St. Louis president of hockey operations and general manager Doug Armstrong provided an update Monday on Upshall’s status.

The 34-year-old has seven goals and 12 assists for 19 points in 63 games. Upshall was playing in just his second game after missing three weeks with a knee injury.

The oft-injured veteran’s absence is another blow to the Blues as they fight for a playoff spot in the Western Conference. St. Louis already is without defenseman Jay Bouwmeester because of a hip injury and hasn’t had winger Robby Fabbri since he aggravated a knee injury.

There are 32 NFL franchises Customized Indianapolis Colts Jerseys , and probably 32 questions we can ask about each of them.

Some are quite pertinent: Carson Wentz or Nick Foles behind center in Philadelphia? Will J.J. Watt and Deshaun Watson return healthy to Houston and carry the Texans back to the AFC South lead? Will fans be screaming for their first-round rookie quarterback to get on the field, like, yesterday?

Good questions all.

But we’re concerned here with the irrelevant queries. Such as:

1-Can Tom Brady win at age 41?

Maybe you should ask this question when he is 51 – just kidding, Gisele.

At 40, Brady was as Tom Terrific as ever, even without his favorite receiver, Julian Edelman Los Angeles Rams Jerseys Womens , for the entire season. To think he suddenly will go over the hill with the way he trains and his smarts and competitive fire is foolhardy.

”Obviously, I evaluate last season and things I can do better. I don’t think this offseason was any different for me,” he has said.

No, Brady won’t play forever; the Jets, Bills and Dolphins surely can’t wait until he disappears, not to mention the rest of the AFC. But wondering about Brady’s competence in 2018, when he just might win his fourth league MVP award Youth Josh Allen Jersey , is an irrelevant task.

2-Will the Browns win a game?

Yes they will, maybe even in Week 1 at home against their archrivals, the Steelers, but more likely somewhere else in the first half of a schedule that isn’t exactly daunting.

We understand that every matchup for a club that is 1-31 under coach Hue Jackson is challenging. Still, the Browns added enough talent to win a handful of games or more – and that’s not even considering what top overall draft pick Baker Mayfield might provide at quarterback if he gets on the field.

3-Will Jimmy Garoppolo ever lose a game?

Yes, he will – plenty of them.

Sure, Jimmy G is 7-0 as a starter Bart Starr Jersey , including 5-0 when he took the reins in San Francisco last year. Look for that first loss to come early this season, perhaps in the opener at Minnesota, a major challenge for the rebuilding 49ers.

Visits to the Chiefs and Chargers also are on the September docket.

So thoughts of Garoppolo remaining unblemished are irrelevant.

That doesn’t mean he won’t improve; he might do so significantly.

”I don’t know how much of a jump you’re going to see,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. ”When you talk about expectations, I don’t know how you’re going to live up to that. He did very good last year. If we had 400 yards a game, does that mean we need to have 600 the first five games to improve? I don’t know what the numbers will be, but we will be a better offense.”

4-Will the NFL and players’ union find common ground on national anthem protocol. Or anything else?

Nope. Not even close.

The 10-year labor agreement expires after the 2020 season. The union has fought the league on virtually every topic in it and quite a few outside of it. The anthem policy unilaterally imposed by the league and teams is the latest sticking point.

Common ground between these sides? Irrelevant.

5-Is Jon Gruden headed back to the broadcast booth after this season?

It might be tempting for Gruden once he sees how much pro football locker rooms and player approaches have changed since he previously worked a sideline 10 years ago. Still Youth Isaiah Oliver Jersey , to suggest a guy with his enthusiasm, intelligence and creative streak is going to sour on coaching so soon is … irrelevant.

Gruden could be hard-pressed to win much this season with Oakland, but he’ll put his stamp on the Raiders, and they will be better for it down the line – when he’ll almost certainly be around.

6-In how many stadiums will Roger Goodell be booed this season?

Let’s see: There are 31 homes for the teams (the Jets and Giants share MetLife Stadium), plus Azteca in Mexico City, Wembley and the new Tottenham Stadium in London. So 34 works.

Thinking the commissioner won’t get booed in any of them? Irrelevant.

New Orleans Saints Jerseys

There will be a doctor in the house for Chiefs games this season and there will be one on the field when the team’s offense has the ball.

Right guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif is graduating from McGill University’s medical school on Tuesday http://www.bengalsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-sam-hubbard-jersey , ending an eight-year process that he’s completed while also starting 38 games for Kansas City over the last three seasons.

Duvernay-Tardif said he plans to do a residency in emergency medicine, but that football remains his main priority while the medical degree is a “really strong Plan B” for the time being. He also thanked Chiefs coach Andy Reid, whose mother also went to medical school at McGill, for giving him the space to pursue both interests simultaneously.

“Not all the coaches saw my second career with that same optimism,” Duvernay-Tardif said, via ESPN.com. “Some coaches asked me, ‘How do we really know you want to play football?’ Coach Reid never asked me that question. With him, it’s always been P.K Subban Jersey , ‘We know you want to play football because you’re here.’ He trusts me. That’s one thing I respect and admire about him. He told me that he was going to do anything he could to help me succeed. It’s been four years now, and Coach Reid has stood by that plan. Every year when we end the season, we have our exit meeting with coach Reid, and he’s always asking me where I am in school and what the plan is for the offseason.”

Duvernay-Tardif has said in the past that he’d like to have “M.D.” on his jersey once he graduated and he posted a picture to social media that showed he’s wearing a suit jacket with “Dr. Duvernay-Tardif” over his No. 76 for graduation day.

nd got big production in 2017 from Lewis. Both are just 27 years old, but Patriots likely won’t stand pat after disappointing season by 2017 free agency pickup Mike Gillislee. Linebacking core needs some help with Harrison unlikely to be re-signed at age 39 and starter Dont’a Hightower coming off shoulder surgery. Getting another player to pair with Trey Flowers at defensive end will be another priority.

AVAILABLE SALARY CAP SPACE (approximately): $14.7 million.

NEW YORK JETS (5-11)

UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: QB Josh McCown; CB Morris Claiborne; C Wesley Johnson, TEs Austin Seferian-Jenkins and Chris Gragg; LBs Demario Davis, Bruce Carter, Julian Stanford Jack Johnson Jersey , and David Bass; S Terrence Brooks; PK Chandler Catanzaro; DLs Kony Ealy and Ed Stinson; DT Mike Pennel; OLs Jonotthan Harrison, Ben Ijalana and Dakota Dozier.

RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: WR Quincy Enunwa; S Rontez Miles; OL Brent Qvale; TE Neal Sterling; DL Xavier Cooper.

NEEDS: It’s all about finding quarterback, running theme for this franchise for, well, decades. New York will be in Kirk Cousins sweepstakes and has money it would take to land him. But will the former Washington QB want team that has failed to make playoffs for seven straight seasons and underwent massive rebuild last year? Jets have new offensive coordinator in former QBs coach Jeremy Bates, who runs Mike and Kyle Shanahan-style system Cousins learned during his first two seasons in league. If Jets whiff on Cousins, there’s good chance McCown will be back to mentor whomever New York takes with its first draft pick at No. 6 overall. Plenty of holes elsewhere, although Jets are interested in re-signing Claiborne Ronald Jones II Color Rush Jersey , Seferian-Jenkins and Davis as core players. Help on offensive line, namely at center, proven pass rusher and cornerback will also be high priorities for GM Mike Maccagnan. Running back Matt Forte is retired, so Jets might look for some depth in backfield, as well as on defensive line after releasing disappointing Muhammad Wilkerson.

AVAILABLE SALARY CAP SPACE (approximately): $90 million.

OAKLAND RAIDERS (6-10)

UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: Ss Reggie Nelson and Keith McGill; LB NaVorro Bowman; CBs TJ Carrie and Sean Smith; K Sebastian Janikowski; DL Denico Autry; TE Lee Smith; QB E.J. Manuel; LS Jon Condo.

RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: None.

NEEDS: Coach Jon Gruden takes over team coming off disappointing season with many holes. There could be even more voids if Raiders choose to release several high-priced veterans to create even more cap room. Biggest holes right now are on defense; Raiders must upgrade at linebacker and in secondary, as well as find pass rush help for Khalil Mack. Oakland also would like to add at least one more receiver, along with possible upgrade at tackle. Another question is at running back; keep Marshawn Lynch and his $6 million salary or find starter in free agency or draft?

AVAILABLE SALARY CAP SPACE (approximately): $20 million.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS (13-4)

UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: LB Arthur Moats; G Chris Hubbard; WR Justin Hunter; LB Sean Spence; RBs Stevan Ridley and RB Fitz Toussaint; DT Daniel McCullers; S Daimion Stafford.

RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: K Chris Boswell; LB Anthony Chickillo; WR Eli Rogers.

NEEDS: Two-time defending AFC North champions need help at inside linebacker with Ryan Shazier already ruled out for 2018 with spinal injury. Pittsburgh’s defense sagged late in season without Shazier and was shredded by Jacksonville in stunning home playoff loss. Depth at running back is also concern with Le’Veon Bell’s long-term status uncertain after team placed franchise tag on him for second straight spring. Steelers as usual are right up against cap; contract restructuring and cutting some veterans would give them wiggle room if needed. They could even sign marquee player if they opted to pull back franchise tag on Bell, which would free up $14.5 million in cap space off top.

AVAILABLE SALARY CAP SPACE (approximately): $1 million.

TENNESSEE TITANS (10-8)

UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: LBs Avery Williamson and Erik Walden; WRs Eric Decker and Harry Douglas; DE DaQuan Jones; CB Brice McCain; G Josh Kline; C Brian Schwenke; QB Brandon Weeden.

RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: G Quinton Spain; DE David King; CB Curtis Riley.

NEEDS: Now that QB Matt Cassel is being released http://www.dolphinsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-durham-smythe-jersey , upgrading Marcus Mariota’s backup is crucial after Titans lost one game Cassel started last season. Both starting guards also are hitting market, though any offer to Spain can be matched, with Titans possibly looking at options after run game slumped from first in AFC to 15th. Wide receiver is must with Decker hitting market after ranking second with 54 catches. Money seems biggest obstacle for Titans keeping pair of defensive starters in Williamson and Jones, who was playing his best when he tore biceps.

AVAILABLE SALARY CAP SPACE (approximately): $59 million.

Authentic Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys

Sitting beneath a television at the Gruden family home in Florida are boxes filled with recordings of dozens of games coached by Jon or Jay in the NFL and Arena Football League.

There isn’t a single loss on any of those discs. That’s not because either of the brothers is unbeaten Troy Brouwer Jersey , of course. It’s because Dad, a former assistant in the pros and college himself, wants nothing to do with the setbacks. He refuses to sit through live broadcasts of his sons’ games. Why? There’s no way to know how they’ll end, he blames himself when something goes wrong, and the nerves are just too much.

“I’ll watch the whole game afterward — if they win. I won’t watch any game that they lose,” Jim Gruden said during a telephone interview. “Some nights, when there’s nothing on TV or nothing to do, we’ll put one on and enjoy it again. I tell my wife, ‘It looks like we’re going to lose this game.’ But by golly, we pull it off. Every time.”

He uses the word “we” a lot while discussing his kids’ work, and all of the Grudens will be counting on adding to the video collection when the NFL season starts in September. On most Sundays, there will be two games of particular interest: those involving Jon’s Oakland Raiders or Jay’s Washington Redskins.

“It was in our blood, mine and Jon’s. Both of us knew we were going to be in football, one way or another. But to get to be head coaches in the NFL was probably an unrealistic dream Womens James Conner Jersey ,” Jay said, leaning back on a couch at his team’s practice facility. “Somehow, we got here.”

Jon got there first, hired as an assistant with the San Francisco 49ers at age 26, then getting his first head coaching job with the Raiders at 34 in 1998. Jay didn’t enter the NFL until more than a decade later, as an assistant on Jon’s Tampa Bay staff at age 35; he became a head coach four years ago in Washington.

With Jon leaving “Monday Night Football” to return to the sideline after a decade away, and Jay entering his fifth season, they will join the Harbaughs as the only sets of siblings to simultaneously hold jobs as NFL head coaches.

“They grew up in the same house, and they love each other, but they’re not very much the same,” Jim Gruden said about the two sons who followed him into the coaching business (a third — and oldest — brother is a radiologist in New York; Jon joked about being “the forgotten Gruden” as the supposedly least-loved middle child).

“They both had a dream to do this. I did it, and they wanted to do it. But I never knew they would take it to this level,” Jim continued.

Then, with a knowing chuckle http://www.ravensauthorizedshops.com/authentic-mark-andrews-jersey , he added: “Personality-wise, they’re very different. One is a little more volatile. The other is more laid back.”

The explosive son, naturally, is Jon, who earned the nickname Chucky (a character in the “Child’s Play” horror film series) during his first go-round as a head coach. During 11 seasons with the Raiders (1998-01) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2002-08), he won a Super Bowl and went 95-81 in the regular season.

The more relaxed is Jay, 28-35-1 with one playoff appearance. His prior head coaching experience was a brief stint in something called the United Football League and a longer tenure in the better-known Arena League, where he led the Orlando Predators to two championships (Jim says he has the discs to prove it).

Now they are NFL competitors, even though the Redskins and Raiders aren’t slated to play each other until the 2021 regular season.

If the Grudens remain in their current jobs, the only chance to match wits beforehand would come in the Super Bowl. The Harbaughs managed to make that happen: John’s Baltimore Ravens beat younger brother Jim’s San Francisco 49ers 34-31 for the title in 2013.

“When you play each other, embrace it and enjoy it. And try to win,” said John Harbaugh, who is still with the Ravens, while his brother now coaches at the University of Michigan.

As for their so-called Brother Bowl?

“The best part was winning. The worst part was Jim not being able to win Scottie Upshall Jersey ,” he continued, before delivering the punch line: “But I would say the winning overshadowed that quite a bit.”

As one might suspect, Jon and Jay have entertained thoughts about a Gruden vs. Gruden game.

“That would be one of the coolest things in life, really. We’ve played against each other in the backyard since we were kids. A lot of those games ended because our dad spanked us both,” said Jon, 55, about 3½ years older than Jay. “I beat him for years. I beat the hell out of him. … Then something happened where he grew. He got stronger. He got bigger. He got faster than me. I haven’t beaten him one-on-one in basketball, one-on-one in golf — and haven’t beaten him one-on-one in anything for a long time.

“It would be cool to go up against him as a coach.”

If that happened, would Mom and Dad pull for one child against the other?

“I would hope not. If they would, they better be rooting for my team,” Jay said, grinning widely. “I was a better kid. I was the easier son to get along with. I always did what they told me. Ate all my vegetables. Jon, on the other hand? They had to discipline him a lot more than me. That’s a fact.”

If their father’s time in college football at Notre Dame and Indiana or his work in the NFL swayed their career choices, the Grudens credit their mother Cheap Customized Detroit Lions Jerseys , Kathy, with instilling other key qualities.

“They encouraged us to find our passion and they supported us through some tough times. My dad was a The Arizona Cardinals have signed free agent wide receiver Brice Butler to a two-year contract.

Monday's move addresses one of the team's biggest needs, depth at the receiver position, following the departure of John Brown and Jaron Brown to free agency.

Butler, entering his sixth NFL season, played the last three seasons with the Dallas Cowboys and totaled 43 catches for 794 yards and six touchdowns. He was selected by Oakland in the seventh round out of San Diego State in the 2013 draft and played his first two seasons with the Raiders.

Overall, the 28-year-old receiver has appeared in 61 games, with 73 catches for 1,177 yards and eight touchdowns.

The Texans will get third-round pick Martinas Rankin on the practice field for the first time in training camp.

Rankin opened up camp on the physically unable to perform list due to a foot injury he sustained at the team’s rookie minicamp. Rankin missed the rest of the offseason program after having surgery on his foot.

Rankin spent time at a variety of spots along the offensive line during his time at Mississippi State and closed out his career at left tackle.

Julie'n Davenport and Seantrel Henderson have been working as the starting tackles for the Texans during the preseason. Rankins’ injury may not leave him enough time to change that before the start of the season http://www.seahawksauthorizedshops.com/authentic-sebastian-janikowski-jersey , but getting the green light to start practicing may open the door for a shift at some point in his rookie year.

RAC–BELMONT-JOCKEY CONCUSSION PROTOCOL

Horse racing is years behind other sports in concussion education, evaluation, diagnosis and return protocol for jockeys Authentic Jeremy Kerley Jersey , who often suffer them when they fall off. Doctors have spent the past two years developing a protocol, but progress has been slowed by the industry’s lack of continuity from state to state and track to track. Riders who are on the Triple Crown trail from the Kentucky Derby to the Preakness and the Belmont see different rules and care along the way as horse racing seeks to catch up with the NFL, NHL and NBA on brain injuries decades after developing better treatment for horses than riders.

FBN–WENTZ’S COMEBACK

PHILADELPHIA – Carson Wentz was having an MVP season before a torn ACL forced him to the sideline where he watched Nick Foles lead the Philadelphia Eagles to their first Super Bowl victory. Wentz has a mission to return for Week 1 but his return comes with interesting circumstances: He’s got no pressure to return right away because the Eagles can lean on the Super Bowl MVP to start the season. And that’s not necessarily a threat to Wentz Calvin Johnson Jersey , whose friendship with Foles appears without the strain seen in other famed NFL tandems like Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers or Joe Montana and Steve Young. That has allowed Wentz to pursue other interests while rehabbing, like building a sports complex during a mission trip to Haiti, with the comfort of knowing his job is reasonably safe if he plays well once he comes back.

Cheap Miami Dolphins Jerseys

The New York Jets have tendered wide receiver Quincy Enunwa at the second-round level http://www.saintsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-rick-leonard-jersey , worth $2.9 million.

Enunwa was a restricted free agent after missing last season with a bulging disk in his neck that required surgery. He had a breakout season in 2016, catching 58 passes for 857 yards and four touchdowns.

The Jets also tendered safety and special teams standout Rontez Miles and offensive lineman Brent Qvale with the right of first refusal. That means New York can match another team's offer within five days and keep them, but receive no draft compensation if they let them go.

Tight end Neal Sterling was also given an original-round tender (seventh round).

New York also re-signed three exclusive rights free agents: safety Doug Middleton, fullback Lawrence Thomas and tight end Eric Tomlinson.

Since relocating from Atlanta in 2011, the Winnipeg Jets were never considered a dangerous team. That is until this season.

The streaking Jets seek their 10th win in 11 games on Thursday night when they host the Calgary Flames.

Winnipeg (50-20-10) continued its surge on Tuesday with a 5-4 overtime win against the Montreal Canadiens to cap a four-game road trip. With two games remaining, the Jets trail the Central Division-leading Nashville Predators by three points.

“(The win) puts us in a position to keep fighting for first place in our division,” said Winnipeg backup goaltender Steve Mason, who made 36 saves against the Canadiens.

Rookie Kyle Connor ended it with a historic marker. Selected 17th overall in the 2015 NHL Draft Ronnie Harrison Color Rush Jersey , Connor is the second rookie in club history with 30 goals, joining Patrik Laine, who scored 36 last season.

“Great for a first-year player,” Jets coach Paul Maurice said of Connor, who leads all rookies in goals. “He’s developed really strongly this year.”

Since March 15, Connor is Winnipeg’s top scorer with 13 points (seven goals, six assists) in 10 games. Laine collected four points, including three goals Calvin de Haan Jersey Kids , over the same stretch.

Despite his slump, Laine has 44 goals, and trails only Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals (46 goals) for the Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy. Laine has one tally in four career games against Calgary.

If Connor Hellebuyck (42-11-9, 2.40 goals-against average, six shutouts) starts for Winnipeg, he will be looking to tie the record for most wins in a season by a goaltender born in the United States. Tom Barrasso won 43 games in 1992-93 for the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Amid all the personal accomplishments and potential milestones, seeing the club reach 50 wins means more to Maurice, who has reached 50 victories for the first time as a coach.

“That means you’re a consistent hockey team. To get that many wins over the course (of a season) Authentic Mike Hughes Jersey , you can’t have a lot of lulls,” he said.

The Jets are looking for their fourth win in five home games against the Flames.

Winnipeg split two matchups in Calgary this season. After opening the campaign with a 6-3 defeat on Oct. 7, the Jets rebounded with a 2-1 shootout victory on Jan. 20.

Calgary (36-34-10) is trying to avoid its ninth loss in 10 games after falling 4-1 to the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday.

Mike Smith, who sat while rookie Jon Gilles got start in goal, is looking forward to facing the Jets.

“They’re a good team this year, so I think it’s a challenge for our team to kind of go out on a good note going into the summer,” said Smith, who is 0-3-2 with a 3.43 goals-against average in his career at Bell MTS Place.

The Flames have the best road record among non-playoff teams at 20-14-6.

Calgary could get defenseman Travis Hamonic back after he missed two games with an upper-body injury. A decision will be made Thursday.

“No one wants to be sitting around Nate Thompson Jersey , doesn’t matter how long it is. You want to get back in and compete, that’s kind of what we’re wired to do so,” Hamonic told the Flames’ official website on Wednesday.

Calgary wraps up its season Saturday at home against the Pacific Division champion Vegas Golden Knights.

The Dallas Cowboys are feeling more confident that they might have replaced Dez Bryant in free agency Adidas David Pastrnak Jersey , so another day of the NFL draft could come and go without them taking a receiver.

After picking linebacker Leighton Vander Esch of Boise State at No. 19 in the first round, the Cowboys have the 50th overall pick in the second round and the No. 81 overall selection in the third round Friday night.

Executive vice president of personnel Stephen Jones says club officials talked extensively before selecting Vander Esch about how comfortable they were with the additions of receivers Allen Hurns and Deonte Thompson in free agency.

Jones says the Cowboys "believe there's some receivers, one through seven A.J. Green Jersey , that have some unique traits." The final four rounds of the draft are Saturday.

The Cowboys released Bryant as a cost-cutting move earlier this month. The franchise leader in touchdown catches had three sub-par seasons after signing a big contract following an All-Pro year in 2014.

The Arizona Cardinals have signed free agent wide receiver Brice Butler to a two-year contract.

Monday’s move addresses one of the team’s biggest needs, depth at the receiver position, following the departure of John Brown and Jaron Brown to free agency.

Butler John Hayden Jersey , entering his sixth NFL season, played the last three seasons with the Dallas Cowboys and totaled 43 catches for 794 yards and six touchdowns. He was selected by Oakland in the seventh round out of San Diego State in the 2013 draft and played his first two seasons with the Raiders.

Overall, the 28-year-old receiver has appeared in 61 games Nikita Zaitsev Jersey Kids , with 73 catches for 1,177 yards and eight touchdowns.

With all the excitement around the NFL last weekend Matthias Farley Jersey , it was one high-scoring Saints-Buccaneers game that brought home all the money in daily fantasy contests.

Tampa Bay quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 400-plus yards and four touchdowns, while adding another 36 yards and a score with his legs. Two of Fitzpatrick's top weapons, DeSean Jackson and Mike Evans, cracked the 100-yard threshold and accounted for three of the receiving touchdowns.

On the other side of the ball, the New Orleans was forced to play catch-up, leading Drew Brees to attempt 45 passes, the majority going toward Michael Thomas (16 catches, 180 yards, one TD) and Alvin Kamara (9-112-1). There was more than 1,000 yards of total offense in the Bucs' 48-40 victory. And the $1 million Fanduel winner loaded up on the game Womens Lamar Jackson Jersey , playing Fitzpatrick, Jackson, Thomas and Kamara.

Stacking, or pairing a QB with a wide receiver or tight end, is a strategy that has been used for years by many of the best fantasy players to win daily fantasy tournaments. The Saints-Bucs game showed the power of "game stacking" 鈥?combining up to three or four players from the same game in hopes of a shootout. While it's an aggressive approach that can leave fantasy players in last place if it doesn't work, it will hit big when it hits.

One of the best games to consider stacking this weekend is the San Francisco 49ers vs the Detroit Lions. Jimmy Garoppolo was held in check last week at Minnesota, which finished as the third toughest defense in 2017 against opposing QBs. The 49ers should bounce back this week at home versus the Lions, who are on a short week having given up 48 points to the Jets on Monday night. The 49ers have the fourth highest team total this week with Las Vegas oddsmakers projecting them to score close to 27 points.

With wide receiver Marquise Goodwin day-to-day, Garoppolo can be paired with wide receiver Pierre Garcon and tight end George Kittle, who accounted for 47 percent of the team's targets in the opening game. If Garoppolo has a tournament-winning performance (300-plus yards or three-plus touchdowns) it is likely that both Garcon and Kittle benefit. The other value of a 49ers game stack is that you can "bring it back" with an attractive stack from the opposing team. Wide Receiver Kenny Golladay is an attractive value and his $4 John Ross Jersey ,800 price was locked in before he exploded Monday night for 100-plus yards and 20-plus fantasy points on DraftKings. Golladay out-snapped both Golden Tate and Marvin Jones, accounting for 93-percent of the snaps and receiving 12 targets, making him the top option as part of this game stack.

For daily users who prefer multi mass enter contests, composing 20 or more lineups in a single contest, the 49ers-Lions game is perfect. While Golladay is the preferred option due to value, all three Lions receivers are projected within 3 fantasy points of each other. Both Golden Tate and Marvin Jones saw 80 percent of snaps as the Lions ran a lot of three wide receiver sets and were both targeted twice in the red zone. Users composing multiple DFS lineups can game stack Garoppolo-Garcon-Kittle with Golladay on one lineup, Tate on another, and Marvin Jones on a third, ensuring that if the game does shoot out and the 49ers win, you have a lot of the combinations covered.

Cleveland’s fastest rookie was the slowest to sign.

But that doesn’t matter, Denzel Ward is under contract.

The No. 4 overall pick in this year’s draft, Ward signed his four-year, $29 million deal on Wednesday and reported to training camp with the Browns‘ other first-year players and veterans.

The speedy Ward, who is expected to start this season, is receiving a signing bonus of $19.2 million. Ward’s deal also includes a team option for a fifth year.

Ward was the final player from the Browns’ 2018 rookie class to sign his first pro contract, and general manager John Dorsey expressed relief not to have any holdouts. On Tuesday night, quarterback Baker Mayfield – the top overall pick – signed his four-year, $32 million contract.

Ward, who grew up in the Cleveland area Victor Mete Jersey , is the fourth Ohio State cornerback selected in the first round in the past three years. The 5-foot-11, 190-pounder played in 38 games for the Buckeyes, making two interceptions as a junior All-American last season.

In addition to Ward, Dorsey upgraded Cleveland’s secondary by signing free agents E.J. Gaines, T.J. Carrie and Terrance Mitchell as well as trading for Damarious Randall.

Second-year safety Jabrill Peppers is expected to miss the start of camp with a groin strain.

Two weeks into the Miami Dolphins' offseason practice regimen Tyler Seguin Jersey , first-round draft pick Minkah Fitzpatrick's running tally of interceptions is underway.

"Have I been counting them? Every DB counts them," Fitzpatrick said with a laugh after Tuesday's workout. "I've got two picks and a couple of pass breakups. Just doing my job."

Contact drills won't begin until training camp, but early indications are the Dolphins used the 11th overall pick wisely when they selected Fitzpatrick.

The safety from Alabama said he's not fazed by reports Dolphins owner Stephen Ross wanted to trade down on draft night rather than pick Fitzpatrick.

"I heard about it," Fitzpatrick said. "He's a businessman. He's going to see the business side of everything. This is extra motivation to prove I'm a worthy pick and deserve to be here."

The front office wanted a playmaker to upgrade a defense that ranked fourth-worst in points allowed last season, and so far Fitzpatrick looks as if he'll make Miami better.

"He has done a good job," coach Adam Gase said. "He has gotten his hands on a lot of balls. He seems to be all over the place. He has a great motor and a great work ethic. You can tell he takes this very seriously and puts everything he has into this."

The Dolphins' investment goes beyond a first-round choice. Fitzpatrick signed a $16.44 million, four-year deal last week.

But he said he didn't celebrate the contract Eric Weddle Jersey , and doesn't have any plans for the money besides buying a place to live.

"Anytime you see your hard work paying off, it's a good feeling," he said. "But you've got to keep telling yourself it's not the end goal. I didn't come here just to be a first-round pick. I wanted to be a great player here and establish a great legacy."

Fitzpatrick said the Dolphins are dividing his practice time evenly among the strong safety, free safety and nickel back positions. He said he doesn't have a preference and is happy to move around.

"They trust me to do that," Fitzpatrick said. "They're not putting too much on me, but they know they can put a lot on me."

Pro Bowler Reshad Jones is certain to start at one safety spot, and veteran safety T.J. McDonald also returns after starting the final eight games last season. Defensive coordinator Matt Burke may decide to play both along with Fitzpatrick at times Youth Alex McGough Jersey , and June is a time for experimenting.

General manager Chris Grier has compared Fitzpatrick to a Swiss army knife because of his versatility. And wherever Fitzpatrick lines up, he's making his presence felt.

"He is flying around at practice," quarterback Ryan Tannehill said. "He plays aggressive and plays fast, and that's what you want to see out of a DB."

Fitzpatrick played for Nick Saban at Alabama, which may be why he hasn't found the demands of the NFL too daunting so far. In fact, the coaching styles of Saban and Gase are similar, he said.

"They're both very passionate coaches Raiders Authentic Jerseys ," Fitzpatrick said. "They're both real hands-on. The only difference is coach Saban yells a bit more."

At Alabama, Fitzpatrick had a school-record four interception returns for touchdowns. He's confident about quickly improving his professional pick total.

"That's going to keep going up," Fitzpatrick said. "As I get more and more comfortable, I'll make more and more plays."

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is helping students and families of victims of the recent shooting at a Florida high school attend a march against gun violence.

Patriots spokesman Stacey James confirmed that Kraft provided the team's official plane to fly families of the victims from the shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, as well as several other students who were injured in the attack . They will be attending Saturday's "March For Our Lives" rally in Washington, D.C.

The group left Florida on Thursday. They will also fly home on the team plane.

Authorities say Nikolas Cruz killed 17 people in the shooting on Valentine's Day.

Former Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and her husband http://www.titansauthorizedshops.com/authentic-rashaan-evans-jersey , retired astronaut Mark Kelly, operate an anti-gun violence organization, and reached out to Kraft for assistance.

Doug Martin has “a fresh set of legs Luke Glendening Jersey ,” according to offensive coordinator Greg Olson, as the 29-year-old running back has shown his quick burst of old during the Raiders’ organized team activities. It sets up a running back competition at training camp between Martin and Marshawn Lynch.

Martin, who has two 1,400-yard rushing seasons and four others with 400 yards, signed with the Raiders in March soon after the Buccaneers released him. He spent six seasons in Tampa Bay but had a career-low 406 yards last season and averaged only 2.9 yards per carry the past two years.

He also served a four-game suspension while with Tampa Bay.

“I got in my own way,” Martin said, via Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area.

Martin, though, gets a new start with a new team in a new city and a new coaching staff.

“I feel like a rookie again Rickard Rakell Jersey ,” said Martin, who was born in Oakland and grew up in nearby Stockton.

Lynch, 32, had 891 yards and averaged 4.3 yards per carry last season as he unretired after sitting out the 2016 season.

CHICAGO (AP) — Corey Crawford is skating again. The Stanley Cup-winning goaltender hasn’t been cleared for practice just yet, but he thinks he is close.

Now about those defensemen for the Chicago Blackhawks.

While Crawford delivered a positive update Friday on his recovery from a concussion that sidelined him for most of last season, defensemen Connor Murphy, Brent Seabrook and Gustav Forsling missed the start of training camp due to injuries.

Forsling had right wrist surgery in July, but the back injury for Murphy and abdominal issue for Seabrook were new developments. Murphy will be sidelined for about eight weeks, taking him out of the mix for the start of the season. The 33-year-old Seabrook is expected to miss about one week Youth Hayden Hurst Jersey , according to team physician Michael Terry.

“Things changed here quickly there the last day or so in that area,” coach Joel Quenneville said.

The Blackhawks missed the playoffs last season for the first time since 2008, and the mix of green prospects and aging veterans among the defensemen was one of the biggest issues. The injuries could open the door for 19-year-old Henri Jokiharju to make the team out of camp.

Jokiharju was selected by Chicago in the first round of the 2017 draft. Brandon Davidson, who has eight goals and nine assists in 114 career NHL games, is in camp on a tryout deal, and Blake Hillman also could get a longer look.

“We’ve got a lot of candidates and I think that’s what’s exciting about the first day of camp and the first games next week,” general manager Stan Bowman said. “It’s going to be let’s see which guy earns that spot. There’s certainly opportunity there for players who play well.”

A healthy Crawford could provide a big lift. He worked with goaltending coach Jimmy Waite before Chicago’s first practice, skating off before the rest of the players jumped on the ice.

“I’ve gotten better and better over the last couple months and was able to skate a few times the last two weeks,” Crawford said. “I feel good on the ice as a goalie. But right now Adidas Carey Price Jersey , I’m just, I’m not ready to go yet.”

Crawford played in 28 games last season, going 16-9-2 with a 2.27 goals-against average and .929 save percentage. The two-time All-Star was placed on injured reserve on Dec. 27.

The 33-year-old Crawford faced some shots during a morning skate in Arizona on Feb. 12, but was never able to come back.

“Things never really got better,” Crawford said. “We thought maybe to try it when I went to Arizona, and then we were at a point, too, where we were close in the standings and then it just got to where it didn’t seem like it was worth it when we started to slide. It was better off think about long-term than try to rush back.”

Crawford’s first public acknowledgement of his concussion and the specificity of the information on Murphy and Seabrook are part of an organizational shift in strategy when it comes to injuries. Rather than the traditional hockey parlance of generic upper-body and lower-body ailments, the Blackhawks are planning to be more forthcoming when it comes to players’ health.

“We’re trying to Authentic Customized Bears Jerseys , I guess, sort of change with the times, maybe,” Bowman said. “It’s always that balance between respecting the players — at the end of the day, this is their injuries, they’re not our injuries. But we understand the world that we live in today. People want to know and they care about our team and they care about the players individually. They want to know.”
