SEPANG, Malaysia -- A faulty valve is suspected as the cause of a dangerous fire that engulfed the Renault of Kevin Magnussen during Fridays opening practice session at the Malaysian Formula One Grand Prix. Danny Ainge Celtics Jersey .Magnussen made a regulation stop in pit lane and the car was being pushed toward the team garage when flames emerged at the top of the fuel tank.The Danish driver was instructed to immediately get out, and he sprang out just as the flames began to lick at the side of the vehicles cockpit. He was unhurt in the incident.Team mechanics and track marshals sprayed the car in extinguishing foam, but it repeatedly reignited as fuel continued to pump out of the leak at the crest of the bodywork, behind the on-board camera.New eruptions of fire lasted for several minutes as crew and marshals stood poised with extinguishers pointed at the car, intermittently spraying at the fresh flames.After the team managed to attach a hose and drain the tank, the fire was finally brought under control.The incident caused the session to be red-flagged for 15 minutes before the pit lane was deemed safe enough to resume.Renaults technical director Nick Chester said an early investigation put the blame on a faulty breather valve, which allows air to vent into the fuel tank.Pit lane fires have been a rarity since the sport banned refueling in 2010 on cost rather than safety grounds, mainly because of the high expense of transporting the hi-tech fuel rigs around the world.Jos Verstappen, father of current Red Bull driver Max Verstappen, was caught in the middle of a terrifying pit lane fire during the German Grand Prix in 1994 as a sudden ball of flame erupted around and over his car while he was sitting in it.

(STATS) -- Rushing for more yards than anyone in the FCS -- and by a wide margin -- could put Chase Edmonds in the running for some national player of the year awards. Air Max 90 Cheap Clearance . Yet, that wasnt good enough to get him top honors in the pint-sized Patriot League.Instead, it was Lehigh quarterback Nick Shafnisky who was named the Patriots Player of the Year even though he missed 2 1/2 games and didnt lead the league in passing yards or touchdown passes. Apparently voters felt that the senior dual threat leading Lehigh to a perfect conference record, a 9-2 season overall and a playoff berth outweighed Edmonds seemingly superior statistics.Edmonds, of course, did make the All-Patriot first-team offense after rushing for an FCS-best 1,799 yards, 281 more than second-place Tarik Cohen of North Carolina A&T. A junior who already owns the conferences all-time record with 62 rushing TDs, Edmonds ran for 19 scores this season to finish second in the Subdivision.Shafnisky did run for 10 TDs of his own and threw for 20 in just nine games, having missed time due to a nagging ankle problem. He completed 66.2 percent of his passes for 2,448 yards and rushed for 302 as the Mountain Hawks finished among the top 10 offenses in the FCS with 40.5 points and 491.5 yards per game.Andy Coen is the mastermind of that offense and earned the conferences Coach of the Year honor. Its the second time in 11 seasons at Lehigh that hes won the award.Shafniskys two favorite targets were among five Mountain Hawks named to the first-team offense. Troy Pelletier and Gatlin Casey each topped 1,000 yards and totaled 25 touchdowns.A pair of Colgate defenders took home the conferences other two honors. Junior Pat Afriyie earned Defensive Player of the Year after finishing among the national leaders with 10 sacks and 21 tackles for loss.

MILAN -- At 40, Francesco Totti may not be Romas `Golden Boy anymore, but he is still very much `the King of Rome.Totti celebrates his 40th birthday on Tuesday but the Champions Leagues oldest scorer is showing no signs of slowing down and indeed seems to have found a new lease of life.There was speculation last season that maybe the time had come for Il Capitano to hang up his boots and move into the boardroom but, with six goals in his past 11 league matches and several assists, Totti is proving his doubters wrong.Totti marked the final match of his 30s on Sunday by becoming only the second player to score 250 Serie A goals, reaching that mark with a penalty kick in Romas 3-1 loss at Torino.The man who upset Tottis pre-birthday celebrations, Torino coach Sinisa Mihajlovic, helped persuade then Roma coach Vujadin Boskov to hand a 16-year-old Totti his debut.Mihajlovic had been amazed by the precocious youngster, who was giving him and his fellow first-team defenders trouble in training as well as racking up goals for the youth team.On March 28, 1993, with Roma winning 2-0 at Brescia, Mihajlovic ran up to Boskov and said come on, bring the kid on... The rest is history.Mihajlovic joked at the weekend that Totti owes him a dinner for that, and it cant be at a pizzeria, it has to be oysters and champagne before adding he is the best player in Italy since Ive been here.And for nearly a quarter of a century Totti has been living up to those expectations. With his stunning goals and defense-splitting passes, Totti is, for many Roma fans, the epitomy of the Roman gladiator that he has tattooed on his right shoulder.If Rome is the Eternal City, Totti is Romas eternal leader and has been since he was first made captain in 1998, at the age of just 22.Zdenek Zeman, who promoted Totti to the captaincy, was such an ardent admirer that he once said: Who are the best five Italian players? Totti, Totti, Totti, Totti, Totti.Several teammates and coaches have compared Totti with a famous Roman monument, with Claudio Ranieri saying the star player is as important as the Colosseum is to Rome.He has been just as immovable.Totti has spent his entire career at Roma and wheen his current contract expires, he will have had 25 years in its first team -- remarkably more than 28 percent of the clubs existence. Air Max 90 Cheap Free Shipping. Totti could have won more than the solitary Serie A title, two Italian Cups and two national Super Cups he lifted with Roma, but he rejected offers of more money and glory to remain with his childhood club.I grew up playing for Roma and I want to die playing for Roma ... I have always been a Roma fan, said Totti, who was raised in the Porta Metronia area of the city.Tottis face adorns murals and posters across Italys capital, where he is loved by Roma fans and respected by supporters of bitter rival Lazio, despite his antics against them.Totti has scored 11 times against Lazio and often celebrates these extra-special goals with t-shirts made for the occasion. One famously said I have purged you again, while he revealed another reading simply Game Over after a victory in May 2015.He hit the headlines in January of that year when he scored the second of two goals against Lazio and, in a pre-planned celebration for becoming the all-time leading scorer in the derby, grabbed his phone off Romas goalkeeping coach and took a selfie under the Curva Sud with thousands of adoring fans in the background.Totti has also been a star for Italy and he helped the Azzurri to the European Championship final in 2000 as well as the World Cup trophy in 2006.He grabbed global attention at Euro 2000 with one of the moments of the tournament, in the semifinals against the Netherlands. In the tense penalty shootout, the 23-year-old Totti kept his cool to cheekily chip Edwin van der Sar with his spot-kick.Totti was named man of the match in the final, despite Italy losing 2-1 to France.Totti played in all seven of Italys World Cup matches in 2006 and his last match for the Azzurri was the final against France, concluding his international career with 58 caps and nine goals.Asked what gift Totti should get for his 40th birthday, Roma coach Luciano Spalletti was among the people who suggested a time machine.

Take a look across the college football landscape this preseason, and then think about whom youd zero in on for a preseason All-American team. Jason Grilli Jersey . Tough gig, right?Dont sweat it. We took care of the hard work and the difficult non-Fournette, non-McCaffrey, non-Watson decisions.Heres your ESPN 2016 preseason All-American team.OFFENSEQB: Deshaun Watson, ClemsonIn his first full season as the starter at Clemson, Watson led the Tigers to an ACC title and an Orange Bowl win and nearly pulled the upset over Alabama in the national championship game. In the process, he threw for 4,109 yards, ran for 1,105 more and totaled 47 touchdowns. The performance set a high bar, but as NFL scouts drool over his potential to star at the next level, his sights are clearly set on finishing the run to a national championship first. -- David M. HaleRB: Leonard Fournette, LSUAs a sophomore, Leonard Fournette strung together one of the best seasons in SEC history, with 1,953 rushing yards, 22 touchdowns and an FBS-high 162.8 rushing ypg. The only way for him to top that would be with a Heisman Trophy as a junior -- and that will be within his reach if LSU remains in the playoff conversation deep into November. -- David ChingRB: Christian McCaffrey, StanfordThe NCAAs record holder for all-purpose yards in a season (3,864), McCaffrey was the only FBS player to lead his team in rushing and receiving in 2015. He finished second in the Heisman voting and set a school record for rushing yards in a season (2,019). --?Kevin GemmellWR: JuJu Smith-Schuster, USCThe Trojans primary target hauled in 89 catches for 1,454 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. He was the only Pac-12 player to average more than 100 receiving yards per game (103.9). --?K.G.WR: Mike Williams, ClemsonIn the first quarter of the first game of the 2015 season, Williams hauled in a touchdown pass, took a shove from behind and collided with the goal post. That was the end of his season, as a neck injury sidelined him for the next seven months. Watching his team win an ACC title without him took its toll, but it also is driving Williams to have a huge season in his return to action. Given his 1,030 yards and six touchdowns as a sophomore in 2014, that could mean big problems for opposing DBs. -- D.H.TE: Jake Butt, MichiganTeammates say the 2015 All-American is deceptively fast and uses his body to get open as well as anyone in the country. Equipped with a coaching staff that makes good use of its tight ends, its a safe bet that Butt is on his way to a second-straight season of 50-plus catches. -- Dan MurphyOT: Cam Robinson, AlabamaThe talented left tackle could go wire-to-wire, from the No. 1 prospect at his position coming out of high school to a Freshman All-American to a likely first-round draft pick in next years draft. -- Alex ScarboroughOG: Dan Feeney, IndianaAn ESPN.com first team All-American in 2015, Feeney has allowed only one sack in his career and has helped pave the way for a 2,000-yard rusher in 2014 (Tevin Coleman) and one of the nations top all-around offenses in 2015. -- Brian BennettC: Pat Elflein, Ohio StateThe senior thought about joining the flood of Buckeyes who left early for the NFL, but his decision to return could prove invaluable both personally and for his teams chances of returning to the College Football Playoff. Elflein gets a chance to showcase his skills at center after previously starring as a guard, and Ohio State gets a veteran back to anchor the offensive line. -- Austin WardOG: Dorian Johnson, PittJohnson has been a stalwart on the Pitt offensive line since his freshman year, with 27 straight starts entering the season. He is a big reason many believe Pitt has the best offensive line in the ACC. -- Andrea AdelsonOT: Conor McDermott, UCLAA second-team all-conference performer last season, the 6-foot-8, 260-pounder helped the Bruins post their second-lowest sack total in school history (14). He also helped pave the way for former running back Paul Perkins to a second straight 1,000-yard rushing season. --?K.G.DEFENSEDE: Jonathan Allen, AlabamaLeading his team and finishing second in the SEC in sacks wasnt enough. Allen bypassed the NFL draft to return to Alabama and anchor a defensive line that promises once again to wreak havoc on quarterbacks. -- A.S.DT: Carlos Watkins, ClemsonHis first few years at Clemson were relatively quiet, but a light came on for Watkins in 2015, as defensive coordinator Brent Venables said, and he blossomed into one of the most disruptive interior linemen in the country. Watkins racked up 69 tackles -- eight for a loss -- and 3.5 sacks while helping Clemsons line stuff opposing run games. He even recorded an interception against Appalachian State and returned it for a touchdown. His strength and athleticism have NFL scouts talking him up as a potential first-round draft pick. -- D.H.DT: Malik McDowell, Michigan StateA strong showing in the College Football Playoff launched McDowells national profile to a new level. The Spartans defensive line is now his to control, and the massive athlete will be playing in several spots to wreak as much havoc as possible in opposing backfields. -- D.M.DE: Myles Garrett, Texas A&MThe 2015 Lombardi Award finalist should be in for a huge junior season after compiling 24 sacks and 34.5 tackles for loss in his first two seasons. Get a glimpse of him while you can because hell likely be a first-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. -- Sam KhanLB: Reuben Foster, AlabamaSimply put, hes a heat-seeking missile at middle linebacker who has taken out Leonard Fournette and many more in the SEC in his three years at Alabama. -- A.S.LB: Devonte Fields, LouisvilleThe former Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year came on strong at the end of his first season with Louisville and finished with 22.5 tackles for loss and 11 sacks. Now in top shape, coaches expect Fields to have an even bigger impact. -- A.A.LB: Raekwon McMillan, Ohio StateCounting the variety of ways the prototypical middle linebacker contributes is a challenge, but McMillan simplifies it with his own evaluation: tallying the number of tackles he misses. That number was in single digits a year ago, and the junior is likely to be even better after another offseason of development. -- A.W.SS: Derwin James, Florida StateThe sophomore could probably be an All-American at safety, linebacker and even defensive end. Florida State will move its gifted defensive back all over the field to take advantage of his unique athleticism and strength. -- Jared ShankerFS: Budda Baker, WashingtonHes the anchor of a Washington defense that yielded a Pac-12 best 18.8 points per game last season. His 49 tackles and two interceptions, along with nine passes defended, earned him first-team all-conference honors. --?K.G.CB: Desmond King, IowaKing tied a school record with eight interceptions last year on his way to winning the Thorpe Award as the nations top defensive back. Then he thrilled Hawkeyes fans by deciding to return for his senior season. -- J.S.CB: Jalen Tabor, FloridaDespite the notoriety All-American Vernon Hargreaves III received last season, there are some around Floridas program who thought Tabor was better and much more consistent all season. Tabor snatched four interceptions in 2015, with two going back for touchdowns, and tied for first in the SEC with 18 passes defended. -- Edward AschoffSPECIAL TEAMSK: Andy Phillips, UtahHe completed 85.2 percent of his kicks last season (23 of 27), including a long of 53 yards. He was a perfect 12-for-12 last season between 30 and 39 yards and added 20 touchbacks. -- K.G.P: JK Scott, AlabamaYou think that pendulum swing of his created some booming punts as a freshman and sophomore? Wait for what comes next, after Scott grew an inch and a half this offseason. -- A.S.AP: Adoree Jackson, USCUSCs first three-way player in nearly 20 years, Jackson is a mainstay at cornerback, but he also returns kicks and punts while moonlighting as a receiver. Last year, he posted 35 tackles and an interception but also caught a pair of touchdowns and returned two punts for scores. -- K.G. Prince Fielder Jersey .com) - The game was all punts and field goals before Kodi Whitfields catch. Tyson Ross Jersey . Belfort (24-10) needed just 77 seconds to down Henderson in the headlining bout of Saturdays "UFC Fight Night: Belfort vs. Henderson" event at Goiania Arena in Goiania, Brazil. The fight served as a rematch of the pairs 2006 meeting, which Henderson won by decision. http://www.authentictexasrangersgear.com/rangers-russell-wilson-jersey/ . Defencemen Drew Doughty, Shea Weber and forward Ryan Getzlaf also scored for the Canadians, who started their gold-medal defence 2-0. Goalie Roberto Luongo, getting the call in place of Game 1 starter Carey Price, was solid when needed in making 23 saves for the shutout. ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Although the shutout pleased Ricky Nolasco, he would have preferred to pitch this superbly a whole lot earlier in the season.The rest of his fellow Los Angeles Angels realize they also waited far too long to get rolling this year.Even if this season is lost, the right-hander and his new team both enjoyed a victory requiring no help from Mike Trout and Albert Pujols.Nolasco pitched a four-hitter for his fifth career shutout and his first victory for Los Angeles, leading the Angels to an interleague sweep of the Cincinnati Reds with a 3-0 victory Wednesday night.C.J. Cron drove in two runs for the Angels (59-74), who have won five straight and eight of 10 to climb out of last place in the AL West.Nolasco (5-12) had gone winless with a 5.70 ERA in his first five starts for the Angels, who acquired the native of nearby Corona, California, from Minnesota at the trade deadline. He finally came up with a gem against the Reds, and he even won at home for the first time in 16 consecutive starts with the Twins and Angels.Obviously, I would have liked to win earlier, but I like where Im at, as far as where Im throwing the ball, Nolasco said. I feel good. Im eating up innings, and Im just trying to give my team a chance to win games.With his slider moving splendidly, Nolasco retired 12 straight Reds to end it. The shutout was his first since Sept. 9, 2012, and his 11th career complete game was his first since May 2, 2014.I know its been a while, but Ill enjoy it for the rest of the night with the family, Nolasco said. Its definitely nice, a good feeling being out there and trying to get the last out.Los Angeles even won without Pujols and Trout, who didnt play in an early starting game before the Angels day off. Trout and Pujols didnt start in the same game for the first time since Sept. 18, 2014.Brandon Finnegan (8-10) struck out nine during seven strong innings of five-hit ball for the Reds, who have lost four straight and eight of 10.(Finnegan is) a kid who has evolved into a three-pitch pitcher with command who is pitching to both ssides of the plate, Cincinnati manager Bryan Price said. Nolan Ryan Jersey. (He) has kind of found a devastating changeup (and) the ability to throw a slider for a quality strike when hes behind in the count and locate his fastball. ... His development has been exceptional. Really a highlight of the season.Finnegan had only one poor inning during the former Royals relievers latest strong start for the last-place Reds.He had retired nine straight before the sixth, when Andrelton Simmons popped a double and scored on Crons two-out single to center. Jefry Marte then drove in Cron from first with a double to the right-field corner.Nolasco faced more trouble than Finnegan, but still escaped jams caused by errors by Marte and Kaleb Cowart. Ramon Cabrera got to third with one out in the sixth for Cincinnati, but Nolasco coolly retired Zack Cozart and Joey Votto.He has pitched some good games for us, better than his linescores have shown, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.THROWING BLANKSDespite their dismal overall record, the Angels matched Cleveland for the major league lead with their 10th shutout of the season. They have six shutouts since the All-Star break, tying Cincinnati for the big-league lead.TRAINERS ROOMReds: Dan Straily and Tim Adleman will move up one day in Cincinnatis rotation this weekend to give extra rest to Homer Bailey, who has a sore muscle in his right arm.Angels: The club has no plans to shut down Pujols despite some nagging plantar fasciitis in his right foot, Scioscia said. Pujols, who hit his 586th homer earlier this week, has managed plantar fasciitis in his left foot for long stretches of his career.UP NEXTReds: After a travel day, Anthony DeSclafani (8-2, 2.96 ERA) opens a homestand against St. Louis.Angels: After a day off, Brett Oberholtzer (3-2, 5.16 ERA) makes his second start since the Angels claimed him off waivers from Philadelphia.

I thought he did a pretty good job fighting through it.Green served up back-to-back home runs to Carlos Santana and Jason Kipnis to start the game, before allowing a two-run homer to Lonnie Chisenhall later in the first inning.Two innings later, Mike Napoli launched a two-run, 462-foot homer to give Cleveland a 6-0 lead, effectively sealing Greens fate.Though Green was beaten up in his just his third major league start, his confidence remains high.When I got ahead of them, I was fine, Green said.

We were down 8-0, so I figured Id get him out, maybe give him a day off tomorrow and then have him on Sunday again.Though Kluber dominated most of the Yankees lineup, Didi Gregorius continued his recent tear, finishing 2 for 3 with a single and a double. The shortstop is 11 for 28 (.393) on New Yorks 10-game road trip and is hitting .300 this season.TRAINERS ROOMIndians: OF Michael Brantley (sore right shoulder) took batting practice for the second straight day and could begin a minor league rehab assignment during the All-Star break.UP NEXTYankees: LHP CC Sabathia, who faces the Indians on Saturday, has struggled in his last three starts, allowing 17 runs, including four homers, in 17 1/3 innings.

SAN DIEGO -- Theres been a different vibe around the San Diego Padres since they called up four of their top prospects on Wednesday. Terron Armstead Jersey .One of those rookies, Carlos Asuaje, doubled for his first hit and was on base when Wil Myers hit a three-run home run in the first inning that helped the Padres beat the struggling San Francisco Giants 7-2 on Friday night.Obviously Ive been imagining getting a hit, said Asuaje, who made his big league debut Wednesday night and has started the last two games. I didnt think a double though, but yeah it was awesome, a great experience. It was kind of a relief, really.I tried to keep my wits about me as best I could, he said.

They already mess with me enough, so I didnt want to look too happy but man, inside it was really good.It was San Diegos seventh victory in eight games against the struggling Giants since the All-Star break.The Giants dropped into the second wild card position, a game behind the New York Mets.

It was definitely a lot of fun and it makes the game fun.Buster Posey pulled the Giants to 3-2 with a two-run double off the wall in left-center with one out in the fifth.Im just trying to bounce back, Jackson said. I wish I could have less walks. They kind of cost me in the fifth inning, walked a couple then Posey comes up and got a big hit, but nevertheless, all in all, some decent game of bounce back. Were always hard on ourselves.Giants reliever Matt Reynolds came on to start the bottom of the fifth and allowed four runs without getting an out.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Dante Exum Jersey . -- When Indiana tipped off its regular season home opener, it looked like the sixth-ranked Hoosiers returned from Honolulu empty-handed.Just five days removed from defeating then-No. 3 Kansas in the Armed Forces Classic, Indiana started Wednesday nights game flat on offense, slow on defense, and for much of the first 10 minutes, played mediocre basketball. The Hoosiers looked tired, searching for the momentum that carried them past Kansas.When youre coming off a great win like we had, you think the (next) game is going to be easier, but its not, Indiana coach Tom Crean said, adding that it felt like his team hit a wall.James Blackmon Jr. got Indiana (2-0) over that wall. Blackmon Jr. made five 3-pointers, scored 23 points and grabbed seven rebounds in a 100-78 victory over UMass Lowell.The River Hawks led three times during the first 10 minutes and by as many as five points. But with 8:24 remaining, Indiana found its niche behind the savvy scoring of Blackmon, who had 20 points in the first half.Indiana outscored UMass Lowell (1-2) 32-15 during the final 8 minutes of the first half. The Hoosiers went into halftime having shot 60 percent from the field (21 of 35). Once Indiana returned true to form, resembling the same team that kicked off the season with a big win in Hawaii, the Hoosiers dominated for the remainder of the game. The Hoosiers had an assists on 23 field goals.Big men OG Anunoby and Thomas Bryant contributed to Indianas onslaught. Anunoby scored 15 points and Bryant added nine and the two combined for nine rebounds. The Hoosiers outrebounded UMass Lowell 46-24. Of the 46 rebounds, 19 were on the offensive end, leading to 15 second-chance points.Crean praised his squad for establishing physicality and speed, rather than attempting to establish their jump shots, or an offensive presence. And in doing so, it led to a defensive effort that contributed largely to the turning point of the game. Robert Johnson echoed his coachs sentiments.I think it all starts on defense, Johnson said. Once we get stops, defensive rebounds, we can get out in transition and play.Johnson scored 16 points, grabbed five rebounds and had five assists for Indiana. The Hoosiers led by as many as 29 points half way through the second half.Jahad Thomas finished with 16 points and Tyler Livingston had 14 for the River Hawks.Despite the 22-point loss, UMass Lowell coach Pat Duquette found very little to be disappointed about.I dont think we were too affected by the atmosphere. We dont play in arenas like this. We dont play in front of a crowd like this. I was happy that our guys didnt get distracted by that and stuck to the game plan, Duquette said. For us to score 78 points against a really talented Indiana team on their home court, thats a great sign. I think they are a legitimate top five team.BIG PICTURE: Indiana will have three more games to build on the big win over Kansas. The Hoosiers next three games are against mid-majors before they host North Carolina on Nov. 30. The Hoosiers other notable non-conference game comes on Dec. 17 when they face Butler at Bankers Life Fieldhouse before kicking off Big Ten Conference play against Nebraska on Dec. 28. Indianas final non-conference game is a showdown with No. 12 Louisville at Bankers Life on New Years Eve.CENTURY CLUB: With Indianas 103-99 win over Kansas and its 100-78 beat down of UMass Lowell, the Hoosiers scored 100 points in consecutive games for the first time since 2005. Wednesdays game marked the first time Indiana opened the season with back-to-back games with at least 100 points since 1992-93.TURNING POINTS: With 8:24 to play in the first half, Indiana opened a 14-2 run that would give the Hoosiers a comfortable halftime lead. And with 17 minutes left in the second half, the Hoosiers ignited an 18-2 run that ultimately put the game out of reach.UP NEXT:UMass Lowell travels to IPFW on Saturday.Indiana hosts Liberty on Saturday.

At long last, Australian football finally has its biggest star on its home patch.Tim Cahill has come home.The Socceroos all-time leading scorer signed a two-year deal with Melbourne City on Thursday, ending weeks of speculation and years of hopes for an A-League stint.The deal, partially funded in the first year by a new FFA guest player fund, also includes a third year for Cahill to become a coach.It paves the way for Cahill to retire at the 2018 World Cup after two campaigns with City, with FFA hoping it can help secure the league an increased broadcast deal on the way.Cahill, speaking from New York ahead of linking with City next week, said he was excited to get started.There is real ambition and purpose here, qualities that are immensely important to me, he said.I am here to contribute as much as I can to both the club and, where possible, to the further development of football here in Australia.My immediate focus is on getting to know my teammates and our pre-season preparations.Im excited about the quality of the squad that I am joining and the opportunity to win silverware.The transfer is a huge fillip to the league ahead of its 12th season, one in which the all-important broadcast rights will be re-negotiated.FFA chief executive David Gallop said the signing was a huge addition for the club and league.Were really pleased that Melbourne City has taken the opportunity of the new regulations and the marquee fund to bring Tim home, he said.Tims arrival is the biggest transfer move in the A-Leagues history because no player is more popular or has had a bigger impact on the modern game in Australia than Tim Cahill.While Cahills incredible cut-through appeal will grow attendances and viewers for the league, itt remains to be seen whether he can win a first title in 20 seasons as a professional. Karl Malone Jersey. Cahill started his career in England, with Millwall and English Premier League force Everton.He defied calls to come home in 2012, joining New York Red Bulls before recent stints with Chinese Super League clubs Shanghai Shenhua and Hangzhou Greentown.Cahill will now play his club football for the first time on home soil, under Dutch coach John van t Schip.After a semi-final finish last year, van t Schip will hope to mould last years golden boot winner Bruno Fornaroli and Cahill into a title-winning strike duo.He is without doubt one of the most loved sports stars in this country, and I think the fact that he is back in his home country is important to the fans, and is fantastic for us as a club, he said.I see in Cahill and Bruno Fornaroli a beautiful footballing partnership.TIM CAHILL CAREER SNAPSHOTAge: 36Position: Striker/midfielderFormer Clubs:* Milwall (1998-2004), 217 games, 52 goals.* Everton (2004-2012), 226 games, 56 goals* New York Red Bulls (2012-2015), 62 games, 14 goals* Shanghai Shenhua (2015-2016), 28 games, 11 goals* Hangzhou Greentown (2016) 17 games, 4 goals.International careerSocceroos matches: 91, goals 47Career achievements:* Premier League debut: Everton vs Manchester United, 2004* Australia debut: vs South Africa, 2004* Scored Australias first goal in World Cup finals (2006 vs Japan)* 2006, 2010 and 2014 World Cup, scoring five goals.* Australias leading all-time goal scorer* Asian Cup winner, 2015* Nominated for Ballon DOr (2006)* Nominated for Puskas Award (2014) Cheap Hoodies From China Discount NFL Shirts Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale China Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys From China Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Fast Shipping China Jerseys Stitched Jerseys ' ' ' 
INDIANAPOLIS -- Donte Moncrief and Phillip Dorsett have a clear mission this season: Become consistent, quality receivers. Air Max 95 China Wholesale .The Colts playoff hopes may depend on it.Weve got to step up and make plays, Moncrief said. We have to help out T.Y. (Hilton).Moncrief is perfectly positioned to make the jump.After being taken in the third-round of the 2014 draft, the 6-foot-2, 222-pounder from Mississippi started flashing play-making ability late in his rookie season. The expectations increased last season when he entered training camp as the No. 3 receiver and again when he was pressed into more action because of Andre Johnsons struggles.Moncrief wound up doubling his rookie totals, finishing with 64 receptions and six touchdowns despite playing with a bad toe. Indy released Johnson in March and essentially handed the starting job opposite Hilton, a two-time Pro Bowler, to Moncrief, who was recovering from toe surgery.I got into the playbook and learned every position because you never know where youre going to be lining up on the field, the 23-year-old Moncrief said. I know the game better now.Dorsett faces a different kind of challenge. The Colts gambled by using last years first-round pick on the 5-foot-10, 185-pound speedster from Miami, expecting Dorsett to stretch the field and create a spark in the return game.Instead, Dorsett spent the first part of 2015 getting acclimated to the NFL and broke his lower left leg just when it appeared he might break through. The injury cost him five games and eliminated his chance of making the kind of impact Indy projected.Hes healthy now and with a full offseason to work with quarterback Andrew Luck and the rest of his teammates, Dorsett intends to improve on the 18 catches, 225 yards and one TD he had last season.Ive focused a lot on the strength, endurance and going out and being able to run full speed for the whole game, Dorsett said. I did a lot of route running.Offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski noted that Dorsett seemed more precise running pass patterns when he arrived at training camp last month. And Hilton said that Indys new No. 3 receiver is catching better and blocking more effectively, too -- traits Indy desperately needs given the lack of proven talent behind Dorsett.The eight other receivers on Indys current roster have zero catches in the NFL. And though one of them, Chester Rogers, came up with the winning score last weekend at Buffalo, the other eight finished with six combined catches. Its an area the team is looking to shore up quickly.Indy hosts Baltimore on Saturday with Luck expected to make his first start in more than nine months.Weve got some young guys that we want to focus on a little bit, and there are some guys out there that were looking at as well, coach Chuck Pagano said Tuesday after veteran Josh Boyce was released.While Pagano didnt cite any specific receivers, the NFL landscape is littered with experienced veterans such as Marques Colston, Brian Hartline and Roddy White. Indy has tried that route before with results ranging from modest success to outright failure.So the Colts best hope appears to be the emergence of two young, promising receivers who insist they are ready to get the job done.Weve got to basically help everybody, Dorsett said. Weve got to help in the run game, weve got to help Andrew (Luck), weve got to play fast and weve got to play physical and thats what were going to do.Game notes Pagano said five players would not play Saturday night: cornerbacks Jalil Brown (ankle) and Darius Butler (hamstring), receiver Marcus Leak (quad), linebacker Sio Moore (hamstring) and guard Hugh Thornton (ankle). ... Pagano said most of the starting offense should play the first quarter against the Ravens and possibly into the second. ... Defensive linemen Henry Anderson could come off the physically unable to perform list soon. Pagano said Anderson is really close to being cleared for practice. He has not practiced with the team since tearing the ACL in his right knee in November.----Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholesale Air Max 95 .

SEARS POINT, Calif. Nike Vapormax In Offerta . -- Simon Pagenaud moved a bit closer to his first IndyCar Series championship on Saturday, when he claimed pole position for the season finale at Sonoma Raceway.The bonus point that Pagenaud earned for turning the fastest qualifying lap Saturday extended his cushion over Team Penske teammate Will Power to 44 points entering Sundays 85-lap GoPro Grand Prix of Sonoma. That means Pagenaud can clinch the IndyCar title by finishing sixth or better.Power, who had qualified on pole at Sonoma for five of his past six starts at the road course, managed fifth place Saturday. Meanwhile, Pagenaud set a track record of 1 minute, 16.253 seconds in his Dallara-Chevrolet on the way to claiming his series-best seventh pole of the season.The pole capped a huge day for Pagenaud, the 32-year-old Frenchman who earlier shared the news that Menards home improvement stores will double their sponsorship commitment to the No. 22 Team Penske car from five to 10 races in 2017.It feels great, Pagenaud said after averaging 112.594 mph on his pole lap. We prepared really well in practice, and the weekend has gone perfect so far. My first lap on the Firestone red tires, I radioed in and said, This is going to be really good.I was on the edge, but it was a really good lap. We have to err on the safe side in the race, and finishing second is OK if we win the championship. Im really proud of my guys, and no matter what happens tomorrow, its been an incredible season.Power, the 2014 IndyCar Series champion, is a three-time winner at Sonoma, but he and his crew have been unable to get the handling and braking of the Verizon Chevrolet to his liking this weekend.Were just not quite on the pace, and I cant really put my finger on why, Power said. Thats kind of been the story all weekend. Were there, but not quite there.Hopefully, the tire strategies will create an opportunity for us to make our way to the front. The last thing we need is a straightforward race, because Simons going to be pretty tough to beat if thats the case. Hes obviously very quick. But IndyCar throws curveballs here and there, so you never know.We still need to win the race to win the championship, and Simon needs to have a bad day.Pagenaud and Power have matched each other with four wins apiece this year, with a difference of just two points. But Power started the season in a 42-point hole to Pagenaud after missing the season-opening Grand Prix of St. Petersburg because of concussion symptoms.?Over the summer, the two Penske drivers pulled away from the rest of the field, turning the championship into a two-man battle. Another Penske driver, Helio Castroneves, is tied with defending series champion Scott Dixon of Chip Ganassi Racing for third in the standings heading into Sundays race.Castroneves will start from the outside of the front row at Sonoma, and Dixon will line up seventh.

LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse. http://www.vapormaxitalia.it/ . - Levi Browns tenure at left tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers is over before it even began.Ronald Koeman admitted Everton started nervously against West Ham before two second-half goals steered them to a 2-0 victory. Ross Barkley and Romelu Lukaku both netted as Everton won their first Premier League game since September 17, ending a run of four games without a victory.Koeman conceded their recent form played a factor in their first-half performance at Goodison Park, leading to stern words at the interval. We were struggling a little bit after the last few results and had a little bit of doubt on the pitch, looking a bit nervous, Koeman told Sky Sports after the match.The second half was different. It was a higher tempo and we were better at pressing. We deserved to win. Everton 2-0 West Ham The first goal gave us that confidence to play good football - that was the important moment.[At half-time] I asked my players why we are doubting. Were playing at home, of course we know they are on a good run, but believe, have more confidence and go for iit, and that was really the difference in the first and second half. Nike Vapormax Scontate. Lukaku scored his ninth goal in his last nine matches before assisting Barkley for Evertons second, and Koeman reserved special praise for the Everton striker. Ross Barkley produced a man of the match performance to help Everton to victory over West Ham Firstly, hes a great player, Koeman added. A goalscorer is what you need to win games, but you have to recognise the work that Bolasie did for the first goal.After that we had some great chances, more opportunities to score, I think their keeper made two unbelievable saves from Barkley and Lukaku, and finally the win is deserved.Joel [Robles] had a very important save in the second half and its a total team performance.

After an ill-fated attempt at making a rematch with Josh Koscheck, Bellator MMA welterweight Paul Daley is ready to move on. Texas Rangers Jerseys .?Ive been on his Facebook page and his Dethrone [Facebook] page and called him all profanities that youd expect, Daley, who lost to Koscheck in 2010, told ESPN.com. To fight me was like a golden opportunity for him and he missed the opportunity a few times now. Im not looking to present him with another opportunity.After Koscheck withdrew from their rematch in June due to injury, Daley (38-13-2) now has his focus set on Douglas Lima (26-6). The two will meet in the main event of Saturdays Bellator 158 card at Londons O2 Arena (Spike TV, ESPN Deportes, 9 p.m. ET) with a welterweight title shot in the balance.The event has faced a multitude of changes, most notably due to the June 6 death of Kimbo Slice, who had agreed to a rematch against James Thompson in the headliner. Regarding Slice, Daley said,?Im privileged to take his place as the main event here in London.Daley, 33, enters the bout on a five-fight win streak, including a first-round knockout of Andy Uhrich in January. He said?a title shot, should he defeat Lima, was something he asked for and was agreed to with someone who has a position of power in Bellator.Lima is an opponent that I picked, said Daley. Hes the toughest guy, hes a former champion, so I am excited to get such a motivated fight against a dangerous opponent.A native of Brazil, Lima was bumped from a matchup with Chidi Njokuani at last months Bellator 156 for this bout, his first since dropping the welterweight title to Andrey Koreshkov last July via unanimous decision.The opponent switch creates what could be a high-octane bout with the potential for an explosive finish. Daley, a British kickboxer, has recorded knockouts in 28 of his 38 career wins, while Lima, 28, has finished 23 of his 26 victories. Despite the credentials, Daley says that Lima isnt on my level,?and he is very confident heading into the fight.The only thing that raises his level is that he was the former champion, said Daley. We really believe that this is going to be a fight where we do a bit of a Conor McGregor-Nate Diaz and were at the end saying, Im not surprised m-----f------.Having won nine of his last 10, including eight by stoppage, Daley is predicting hell win by knockout on Saturday. For his training camp, he has sparred with several British pro boxers and worked on his wrestling with the Polish Olympic team, taking part in what he calls mini camps to get prepared for each test. The results, he believes, will be a well-rounded fighter who is more mature inside the cage.I think hes still a little bit too sure of himself, Daley said. You may say that about me, but the way Im humbly putting it is Im just a little bit faster than he thinks. Im a little bit stronger than he thinks and my fight IQ is a little bit higher than he thinks.Daley and Koscheck met at UFC 113 in May 2010, with Koscheck winning by unanimous decision. After the final bell, Daley hit Koscheck in the face, which resulted in Daleys release from the company later that night in Montreal. But the fortunes of each fighter changed from that point, with Koscheck finishing his UFC run with a 2-6 mark and Daley amassing a 14-4 record outside of the Octagon.Koscheck, a veteran of 25 fights in the Octagon, lost his last five UFC bout and signed with Bellator last June. His debut was scheduled for January at Bellator 148 in his hometown of Fresno, California, against Matt Secor?but he pulled out with an undisclosed injury. This elevated Daley to the main event, with Semtex quickly dispatching Uhrich just two minutes in with an explosive uppercut, launching a chorus of boos from the partisan crowd.After Daley called his rival out (referring to him as Crotch Check), the rematch was set for London until Koscheck was forced to pull out once again with an undisclosed injury. Daley isnt buying it and claims he was expecting it to happen.He didnt realize I was so invested in whooping his ass, said Daley. This was a fight where I intended to put severe beats on him and I think he got that sense, and he didnt have the same motivation or the same energy and sometimes you need that.For a combatant who has 53 pro bouts, Saturday will hold a special significance for Daley. It will be his first fight in his native land in nearly two years. For someone who is normally booed loudly in America, especially where Koscheck is supported, Daley is expected to get a rousing ovation from the home crowd. He compared it to his UFC New Years card appearance in Las Vegas, a first-round knockout of Dustin Hazelett in the co-main event on UFC 108.This one could top that being that its in the UK and Im going to actually have the supporters with me, said Daley. Itll be up there [and] maybe even surpass the MGM Grand. Im really looking forward to having the home crowd on such a large scale being behind me. Delino DeShields Jersey .

Did you grow up in South Africa wanting to be a professional cricketer, knowing that the country was out of the world game? Well, growing up one doesnt really fully understand firstly the politics of the day, and that there was a bigger game in terms of international cricket. We are pretty much isolated. You knew about it, but I would say your primary goal was to do well in first-class cricket. There was the ambition of playing county cricket because that could offer you a living.Growing up I really enjoyed squash more, but my father said, no, no, you wont make a living out of playing squash, stick to your cricket. But we always had the intention to go on and study. So cricket became the means to get to university and qualify. But international cricket, no, didnt know much about it.Here you are, a teenager, emerging and starting to catch the eye of coaches. You obviously had talent and a feel for the game, but you are saying you had no idea that there existed a higher plane of the game, the highest level of the game? I grew up in a town called Queenstown. It was named after Queen Victoria. I went to a school named after her as well, Queens College. We had a really good, strong cricketing tradition. It was the school of Tony Greig, Kenny McEwan.I had a longer relationship with professional cricketers from Sussex. So they would come over and spend the summer with us. Once a year, perhaps, we would see, I think it was a NatWest final, if it was still called that in those days. So that was the sum total of what we knew as international cricket, and that wasnt even Test cricket.I remember our professional, Bob Jones, and he was at one stage head coach of the Lords indoor school. And he really obviously loved cricket. So we formed a cricket society, and what he would do is, hed bring over the old VHS tapes and we paid 50 cents in those days to be a member of the cricket society, and we sat there and we watched the highlights of whatever Test cricket had been there that summer. I think we got a cricket monthly at that stage - I think it would probably be what we know as the Wisden these days, a magazine?So we were entirely cut off. Black people lived there, white people lived here, and you went to your own schools. There was no integration. Television only arrived, I think, in 76, 77, 78, and that was controlled. So we were conditioned to believe a certain thing. That probably played a role in, you know, doing well at first-class level and wanting to do well, because that in many ways was all the cricket someone like me knew. What I aspired to be was a very good first-class cricketer.In 83, we went to England on a schoolboy tour. Which then would have been the South African Under-19 side, but we were known as the Albatross XI. We were not allowed to take any equipment - not even a shirt, nothing. We were just a group of young students travelling to the UK on a sightseeing, cultural, educational tour. Jimmy Cook was with us on that trip. It was a good side. We had Salieg Nackerdien, I think he was the only non-white cricketer we had in those days, and Shukri Conrad, he was the other one.There was this great South African team, the last team that played international cricket before the isolation years began - Graeme Pollock and Ali Bacher and Mike Procter and names of that kind. As a young man, what were those influences like on your cricket? Were they big heroes in South Africa? Well, my sort of era, its early 70s, we were young kids, so we knew of them. Graeme Pollock was the icon. Barry [Richards] had left - he played most of his cricket in Australia and England, which Graeme never did. So he was the player that everyone looked up to, wanted to be, and was a true star. And we didnt quite understand and appreciate how good he was, when I speak of my generation. I played against him and he was at the end of his career then. Once we had got back into international cricket, you actually realised and appreciated them.I remember our first tour to England. As an England tour goes, theres a lot of functions, and the major one was at a hotel at Piccadilly Circus. Mike Procter was the coach and Graeme had been following the tour. So they were invited to this luncheon and the team was introduced, and when Mike Procter was introduced, they stood up, and when Graeme was introduced, the audience stood up. They obviously knew who Barry was, and they remembered Graemes innings at Trent Bridge when he got that brilliant 120-odd under those conditions, which was an exceptional knock. But in terms of influence, in terms of where we were going, not knowing that wed ever get back into international cricket, it was not something that you believed was going to happen. It was: well, thats it, thats just our lot, and if you wanted to play international cricket, you would look elsewhere - either England or New Zealand or Australia, which I seriously considered.So I think to answer your question, its not like a kid growing up today, who is growing up with international cricket. He knows who the superstars are and its a different world.Here you are, an extremely talented batsman and already comparisons with Graeme Pollock start to come about. What was that like for a 15- or 16-year-old, to suddenly be compared to the greatest batsman South Africa has produced? Yes, I think to a large degree it was because of isolation - they were looking for heroes. I was 16 when I broke his record [South Africas youngest first-class century-maker], so obviously that caught the attention and comparisons were made, but it didnt take long to realise that those comparisons were a little bit unfair. It just was the nature of our cricket, but it kind of made me sit up and say, look, youve got a future, you can play, so, right, where does it take me? Lets talk a little bit about apartheid. Were you inherently aware that this is a white mans sport, divided along those lines, that cricket is a very much what white boys do, and other members of society are actually kept away from the game? Was that very much part of the culture of how you grew up in South Africa? Very much part of the culture. If you looked upon it, thats just the way it was. Being white, I went to a white school and played cricket at that school, played all our sports. Black kids grew up in the townships, and thats where they played. We always grew up with the belief that there was equality in our society, thats what you thought.You didnt think it was unfair? I didnt know better, to be honest with you. At school, politics of the day were taught as per the nationalist government. Even when I got to university and there were rumblings - that was the middle 80s, when things were really starting to hot up and there was unrest in the township, and I had friends whod done their military training.It was like I said to people: I have two halves in my life, two halves in my career - grew up in that era and now I grew up in this one. And if people ssay, tell me about your career, Id say, Well its been a very interesting one, but as a young white South African growing up, no, and we didnt see anything abnormal about that. Jurickson Profar Jersey. We didnt think we needed to do something about [apartheid], because around you, what you read, what you saw, who you interacted with - thats just the way it kind of was.Did you never play cricket with black kids? Were there any black kids? Never.You never came across anyone, any coloured kids? None of them came and played cricket with you? No. I often think about it today. Where I grew up, the public playing facilities, which are now part of the school that I went to, was called the recreational ground, and they had two rugby fields. In summer it was a cricket field and alongside it was a soccer field. It was literally 100 metres down the road, and with nothing better to do during the holidays, our days were sport.So you went out and whatever you found, you could play, whether it was cricket, tennis, squash. And it was winter time, so wed pick up a game of rugby among a couple of friends and I would have been ten, 11 at that stage. Touch rugby - wed play for an hour. I remember one holiday, there were about four black kids who came and played with us. They joined in and we spent an hour or two playing and then went home and my Mum would have a lunch for us and that sort of thing. And they were brilliant and their company was great, and we, like kids, had a fantastic time. And then we would sort of arrange, you know: are you guys coming the next day? And we would say 10 oclock and they would come at 12, and I couldnt understand why, so it was very disappointing for us, and [we thought] perhaps they didnt want to play with us or this and that.But then in time I got to understand that it was because they would be coming into a white area. That was a boiling pot of South African politics. There was the ZAPU, which was the real right wing of the [anti-apartheid] movement. Late 80s they planted a few bombs. So I understood later that they [the black kids] would be dodging the police, and if they got caught, theyd be chucked in the back of a van and maybe given a hiding or driven back to the townships. And there were times in the afternoon when they said, weve got to go now. We were, Well, come on, play. No, no, we have to go now. Because there would be a curfew, so they didnt want to be caught after dark. It left an impression on my mind, and when I think back on it, you [realise] how shameful it was, how hurtful it would have been. It was a huge, huge travesty really. And in many ways we lost so much talent.All these years later that now seems to be a grotesquely unfair time, but back then, as a 14- or 15-year-old, it was just the way things were - is that what youre saying? When you tell people that, they say, No, come on. But it was, you know, it was indoctrination. Thats just the shadow that we grew up under, not knowing better, not understanding better, your parents not knowing better. It was the - in Afrikaans it was the swart gevaar, the black danger. PW Botha was then the prime minister and there was a war going on in Angola [involving] our troops, who supported South West Africa, which is Namibia today. And friends of mine fought in that. You had the swart gevaar, the black danger, and there was the whole, you know, it was communistic and [there was the idea that] they were coming in to, like, take over the country. Because things were so tightly controlled and segregated, there was no violence in those days. But with the political uprising in the middle 80s, you started to be aware, and at that stage I was at university. Suddenly it was a whole new world. What was the arrival of the rebel-tour cricketers like for you? What kind of impression did it leave, especially because some of them were truly world-class, top-notch players? The Sri Lankans arrived, Tony Opathas touring squad. He arrived as the manager and by the third Test was their best bowler, because they really battled. I ran into guys like [Graeme] Pollock, who were still hungry, and we had a good team around then. The national broadcaster televised all those games. Then, once the West Indians arrived, I was in my final year at school and got out to watch quite a bit of that. It was like, suddenly here are black cricketers so skilled and so good. Was that an eye-opener? Well, absolutely. We thought, hang on, theres going to be bombs going off here. These guys are now going to travel around the country. Where are they going to stay? They cant stay in white hotels. What are the extremists going to say? So they actually became honorary whites and they were so loved, but all these sorts of things, it was like guys arriving from outer space. And Im not exaggerating.But we were so hungry for cricket. I think that was the huge excitement: come on, lets just play cricket. I mean, guys like Collis King, he was - in 76, I think, he was a hero - the brand of cricket they played. I mean [Sylvester] Clarke - in my second season with Border, I batted against him with half a helmet, not much of a thigh pad, as a kid. I get cold today when I think about it.They created enormous excitement. We were so hungry. We could have watched anything. Lawrence Rowe, and the style of cricket they played…Do you remember that time as being particularly challenging? There was, of course, a lot of opposition to the idea of playing any kind of cricket against a regime such as South Africa, but within the country itself? We werent made aware of that. It wasnt spoken about, certainly not on television and in the media, because it was state-controlled. The resistance that you saw when [Mike] Gattings tour came [in 1989-90] and I played in Pietermaritzburg… There was a huge black crowd, and we can get to that because thats an interesting story, but again the opportunity or the platform for those who were against those tours, for that particular tour and the Sri Lankan tour and the first English tour [to make themselves heard], it wasnt there. With the clampdown it was just not going to happen.So there was no idea that these guys were risking their international careers, they were going to get banned in their country… No, we kind of got that. But it wasnt sort of a struggle between whats right and wrong, and should we or not. Theyve given us the best cricket present in 25, 27 years, this is fun, lets get going to play cricket, you know. The resistance to it, we werent aware of it, because it wasnt reported, it wasnt seen. You were just in that sort of space, not knowing - we werent sort of totally blind to it but did not really know what was actually happening.Watch and read part two of the interview hereWatch ESPNcricinfo Talking Cricket at 9.30pm IST on Fridays and the repeat on 12 noon on Sunday on SONYESPN Cheap Hoodies From China Discount NFL Shirts Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale China Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys From China Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Fast Shipping China Jerseys Stitched Jerseys ' ' '
