Authentic Womens Johnny Townsend Jersey

ENGLEWOOD Jarran Reed Jersey , Colo. (AP) � Nobody has more sacks in the last seven seasons than Denver Broncos star Von Miller, who has dumped the quarterback 83 1-2 times since his Rookie of the Year debut in 2011.

Miller�s sole sack of Seattle�s Russell Wilson, whom he�ll face for just the second time Sunday, came in 2014, eight months after the Seahawks throttled the Broncos in the Super Bowl with Miller sidelined by a knee injury.

Neither player seems particularly enthusiastic about facing the other in the season opener at Mile High Stadium.

�Russell�s elite,� Miller said Thursday. �Nobody likes playing Russell Wilson . He�s just elite, best of the best. As a pass rusher, you want a guy that when you get to him and you touch him, he�ll lay down for you. Russell�s the complete opposite.

�He�s probably THE most elusive quarterback out there. So, nobody likes that, especially if you�re a sack guy.�

Miller�s been a big fan of Wilson ever since seeing him outshine Matt Flynn in an exhibition game at Denver in Wilson�s rookie season.

�I feel like he�s been great since his first couple of starts in the preseason, when was that, 2012, when he just went off in the preseason? I think he�s been great. He really hasn�t looked back since then,� Miller said. �He�s a great quarterback. He�s done everything the right way, one of those guys who you want your kids looking up to. So, Russell Wilson is a great quarterback and I�m looking forward to playing against him.

�Not really.�

Wilson is just as effusive in praise of Miller.

�He�s one of those guys that�s a game changer,� Wilson said. �He can make some plays. I think the best thing for us is knowing where he is and playing smart football. When you�re playing LeBron James Jameis Winston Jersey , or you�re playing guys like Kobe Bryant or Steph Curry, they�re going to make their plays.

�He�s one of those guys for sure.�

Miller always fancied himself more of a Dirk Nowitzki.

�Yeah, I thought I was Dirk,� Miller cracked. �It�s great, especially coming from a guy like Russell. I already told you what type of player he is and what he means to the National Football League. So, for him to have those words for me are amazing.

�I still don�t look forward to playing against him,� Miller stressed. �But it�s going to be a great game on Sunday.�

Teams have long schemed to keep Miller from destroying their offensive game plans like he did in Super Bowl 50 with a pair of strip sacks of Cam Newton.

They tilt protection his way, chip him with tight ends and otherwise force him to beat double teams most of the time.

The addition of first-round draft pick Bradley Chubb should ease some of that attention .

The fifth overall selection in the NFL draft, Chubb earned a starting spot opposite Miller but the Broncos have the best depth at that position in the league and can also unleash former first-rounder Shane Ray and Shaq Barrett on quarterbacks.

�Von�s still going to get chipped, and early on they�re going to obviously test Bradley (to see) if he can win one-on-ones away from Von. If he does that, then we�ll get more fair protections,� Broncos coach Vance Joseph said. �But most teams are still going to turn to Von and chip Von. If they don�t, he�s going to take over the game.

�But it helps having Chubb opposite and having Ray opposite and even with our NASCAR package having our four pass rushers on the field. That�s always a good deal, too. It creates more one-on-ones.�

Chubb knows all about Wilson, who started three dozen games at NC State before transferring to Wisconsin.

�I actually got a chance to meet him when I was there at a game, so it was pretty cool,� Chubb said. �I didn�t watch him in college but now as a professional I see he makes plays with his feet and with his arms. He�s a great player.�

His interaction with Wilson basically consisted of asking for a selfie.

�It was more of a quick-type conversation. I came downstairs and he was right there and I said, �Hey Eric Fisher Jersey , can I get a picture really quick?� Took the picture, then he had to be on his way,� Chubb recalled.

He�d love to run into Wilson again Sunday in Seattle�s backfield along with Miller.

Patrick Reed is leading a major championship for the first time, and his confidence is so high that he can only see what�s ahead of him.

Reed started and finished the front nine with three straight birdies. He answered Marc Leishman�s bold shot for an eagle by polishing off another run of three straight birdies. It added to a 6-under 66 and a two-shot lead over Leishman going into the weekend at Augusta National.

Right behind them are five major champions � Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy and Henrik Stenson.

Nowhere near him are Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, the two names that generated so much of the buzz for a Masters that otherwise is living up to expectations.

BASEBALL

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) � Rookie sensation Shohei Ohtani is making himself at home in the Big A.

Ohtani hit a home run for the third straight game, Justin Upton hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the seventh inning and the Los Angeles Angels rallied from an early six-run deficit to beat the Oakland Athletics 13-9.

Ohtani, the two-way star from Japan, connected for a long, solo drive in the second inning against Daniel Gossett. The ball landed in the rocks beyond the center field wall after traveling 449 feet and was measured with a 112.3 mph exit velocity according to Statcast, the hardest-hit and longest of Ohtani�s three major league homers.

NEW YORK (AP) � Pedro Alvarez hit a grand slam in the 14th inning, Manny Machado homered twice and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Yankees 7-3 after New York saw four players forced to make early exits.

Yankees starter CC Sabathia left with hip soreness, star catcher Gary Sanchez limped off with a leg cramp right before Alvarez struck, third baseman Brandon Drury was lifted for migraines and second baseman Tyler Wade was removed because of flu-like symptoms. New York had to use 20 players in all � reliever Adam Warren was the only non-starting pitcher left.

Alvarez connected after midnight, deciding a game that took 5 hours David Sharpe Jersey , 20 minutes and included 14 pitchers, a couple of wild misadventures on the basepaths and an admitted missed call by umpires.

MMA

NEW YORK (AP) � Conor McGregor was arraigned on charges of felony criminal mischief charges and misdemeanor assault, menacing and reckless endangerment charges following a backstage melee he sparked at a UFC event in New York City the previous day.

He spoke only to acknowledge that he understood the conditions of his release, saying, �Yes, your honor.�

McGregor was released on $50,000 bond � pocket change for a fighter who was guaranteed $30 million last year in his ballyhooed boxing match against Floyd Mayweather Jr. McGregor is due back in court June 14.

In the underbelly of Brooklyn�s Barclays Center on Thursday, McGregor went wild, using a dolly, chairs and guard rails as weapons, not his fists. Fueled by revenge and running with a pack of his �hoodlums,� McGregor�s antics landed him in jail � and injured two fighters on Saturday�s UFC 223 card.

NBA

PHILADELPHIA (AP) � Ben Simmons topped LeBron James in a triple-double battle to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to their 13th straight win in their biggest game in six years, 132-130 over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Simmons had 27 points, 15 rebounds and 13 assists. James had 44 points (17-of-29 shooting), 11 assists and 11 rebounds, bringing the Cavaliers to the brink of an epic comeback.

The Sixers (49-30) moved into third place in the Eastern Conference over the Cavaliers (49-31).

LOS ANGELES (AP) � The Lakers unveiled a statue of Elgin Baylor before their game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Baylor�s statue became the sixth that decorates the front of Staples Center, joining Shaquille O�Neal George Kittle Jersey , Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Jerry West and Chick Hearn. The Lakers selected Baylor first overall in the 1958 NBA draft. He averaged 27.4 points and 13.5 rebounds in 14 seasons for the franchise, including the first two when it played in Minneapolis.

Various Lakers alumni spoke during Baylor�s ceremony, including O�Neal, Johnson, West and Abdul-Jabbar. Johnson said Baylor put entertainment into the NBA, and will always remember that Baylor set the Finals record for single-game points against the Boston Celtics on the road.
