Liam Dawson admits he is feeling nervous after being called up to Englands squad for the World T20 tournament in India. The Hampshire all-rounder has been included as a third spin option for Eoin Morgans side at the expense of Chris Woakes, who misses out despite being in the squad for the forthcoming two-match T20 series with South Africa. His impressive performances in the Royal London Cup last season - in which he scored 324 runs at an average of 64 and took 15 wickets at 22 - saw him selected for the England Lions recent T20 series against Pakistan A. Nick Knight gave his thoughts on Englands 15-man squad for the World T20 And although coach Trevor Bayliss has admitted he has not seen Dawson play, he was impressed by the left-armer when he joined the full squad for practice in the UAE at the end of last year. Its amazing news, Dawson told Sky Sports News HQ. Im very excited and very nervous too. Its something you dream of as a kid and Im lucky enough to be involved in it. Englands head coach Trevor Bayliss admits hes never seen Liam Dawson play. Hopefully the pitches will spin a little bit more and I can play a part, added the former England U19 captain. Being involved in an international squad is only going to help as a cricketer so its something Im very excited to be involved in.Im a genuine all-rounder. Batting is probably my stronger suit, but Ive done a pretty good job in one-day cricket for Hampshire over the years with the ball so Ill be looking to do the same if I play in the World Cup.

I have definitely benefited from working under Eddie Jones, who has been phenomenal for me as a young coach developing.I have an awful lot to learn, but I feel very fortunaate that Ive got a head coach like him and some excellent assistant coaches that I work with.ddddddddddddBorthwicks promotion by the Lions would be welcomed by Mako Vunipola, his former Saracens team-mate and a tourist when the elite of British and Irish rugby crushed Australia in 2013.Steve was a great coach when he was still playing, Vunipola said.

That detail makes it very easy to understand.He picks up on anything. From my job as a lifter, you think you have a great lift but he will pick up on where your feet are positioned.Even the smallest things make a massive difference for him. He is all about getting the basics right first and the rest will come along with it.It is the way he trains, too. He is always bringing in new ways of making us better lifters, better jumpers.It was obvious he was going to be a great coach. He is a great leader and when he talks, people listen. That is not a bad trait to have as a coach. ' ' '

West Virginia and Baylor both saw their Big 12 title hopes squashed by mid-November, but both still have plenty to play for in their regular season finale on Saturday afternoon in Morgantown, W. Va..Baylor (6-5, 3-5 Big 12), which has dropped five in a row since beginning the season with a 6-0 start that included an impressive 35-24 victory over Oklahoma State, could finish with a winning record for the seventh straight season by beating 14th-ranked Mountaineers. Thats something that has never been done before in school history.West Virginia (9-2, 6-2) can win 10 games for just the ninth time in school history. And if the Mountaineers can also pick up a victory in a bowl game, Dana Holgorsens squad would match the school record with an 11-win season. Not bad for a team picked to finish seventh in the Big 12s preseason media poll.If that isnt enough to get West Virginia fired up, theres this: 62-38. Thats the score of the Mountaineers loss to Baylor last year in Waco, Texas.We all know what this one means, defensive coordinator Tony Gibson told The Dominion Post. We know what Baylor brings. Weve had Dec. 3, 2016, marked down for a long time.Our kids will have a great week, and theyll be jacked up and hopefully our fans will come out and support those seniors who have done something weve never done -- six wins in the Big 12. We have a lot to be proud of in this team.Baylor comes in off an embarrassing 54-35 loss to a Texas Tech team that finished the season 5-7. Despite a nightmarish year that featured the firing of head coach Art Briles and a sexual assault scandal -- 17 women reported 19 sexual or physical assaults involving football players since 2011, including four gang rapes -- the school announced it still planned to play in a bowl game.Our intent, at this time, is to accept a bowl bid for our student-athletes who have worked so hard to earn it over the course of this season, Baylor athletic director Mack Rhoades said in a statement provided to ESPN. Our focus, as it has been throughout the season, is on our student-athletes and trying to finish strong against a great West Virginia team this weekend in Morgantown.Im very, very proud of our players who have remained loyal to Baylor. Theyve given me 100-plus reasons for hope in these difficult times, interim head coach Jim Grobe said.The 64-year-old Grobe announced on Monday that he will not return to coach after this season. SMUs Chad Morris is considered the frontrunner to take over.Honestly, football needs a fresh start, Grobe said. All the other sports here are in great shape right now, and I would expect the next coach to have football competing for championships in a hurry. Whoever gets this job is going to be very fortunate.Freshman quarterback Zach Smith, taking over for injured starter Seth Russell (ankle surgery), passed for 377 yards and three TDs against Texas Tech. Grobe said he improved significantly from his first start a week earlier against Kansas State. Smith will have to improve further for Baylor to win at West Virginia.Bears wide receiver KD Cannon has been a standout on an otherwise lackluster Baylor offense this season. He caught 12 passes for 132 yards and two TDs against Texas Tech. With one game left in the season, he needs 95 yards to reach 1,000 for the season.Sophomore Terence Williams took over the role as Baylors go-to running back this season. He leads the team in rushing by 133 yards over senior Shock Linwood. Williams needs 155 yards to reach 1,000 for the season.West Virginia comes in off an impressive 49-19 victory at Iowa State. With his top three tailbacks all out due to injury, Holgorsen decided to take the redshirt off true freshman Martell Pettaway in the 11th game of the season. Pettaway responded by rushing 30 times for 180 yards and a touchdown.We had no choice, Holgorsen said. If he was a selfish guy, he wouldnt have been on board with that. ... He took advantage of his opportunity.With Pettaway starring, quarterback Skyler Howard threw only 21 passes, completing 12 for an outrageous 330 yards. Thats an average of 27.5 yards per completion, and five of those went for TDs. Baylor is second in the conference in pass defense at 234.2 yards per game, but it was destroyed by Texas Techs Patrick Mahomes last week and could get shelled again by Howard on Saturday.

Its the second week of the new womens Super League. Southern Vipers are playing Yorkshire Diamonds at the Ageas Bowl and the game is finely poised, with Diamonds 32 for 2 after seven overs, chasing 119. Vipers captain Charlotte Edwards, unsure where to turn, brings a 21-year-old left-arm spinner called Linsey Smith into the attack.Her first over is a wicket-maiden. Two overs later she removes Alex Blackwell with a brilliant head-high reflex catch. She finishes with 4 for 10, the best figures by any spinner in the entire tournament.Smith has never worn an England shirt, probably never hoped to wear one. She was not even named in the original Vipers squad; there is no handy profile of her to be found. ESPNcricinfo still has her down as a medium-pacer, although she switched to spin a while ago. The BBC commentators are baffled.Another day, another Vipers game, and an ECB employee - who shall remain nameless - wanders into the press box. After watching the oppositions innings, he turns to me and says: Who is that keeper, and why isnt she playing for England?That keeper is 22-year-old Carla Rudd, who was dropped from the Academy last year and is now fighting to remain in England contention.The Womens Cricket Super League was designed for players like Smith and Rudd.****Bridging the gap has been the Super Leagues catchphrase ever since its conception in June last year. This is the game-changer, said Clare Connor at the tournament announcement, for as many talented cricketers to be the best they can be; to drive a high-performance culture. Edwards agreed: Weve been crying out for this for a number of years, to bridge that gap between international cricket and county cricket.To understand that gap, it is important to be aware of the current domestic structure of womens cricket in England. It is entirely amateur: no money to be made by players; none available for paid coaches, none for support staff. The womens County Championship is played on Sundays (because players have jobs or studies during the week), on club pitches that are often not of the best quality. Some of these players barely train during the off season. Indoor net sessions are expensive when you dont have a ground to call your own. Its hard to see this as a sustainable model to create the England players of the future.Vipers coach Nick Denning, who had been the coach of Berkshire Women for several years prior to his appointment with Vipers, is well placed to compare the womens county set-up with that of the Super League: Professionalism is the main difference. We get our strength and conditioning coach, we get our physio, we get all these extra coaches, we get great facilities at the Ageas Bowl. You cannot replicate that in an amateur environment.Vipers Georgia Adams put it more succinctly: Its another level. This is where the ECBs ￡3 million worth of investment has gone. This is money well spent. This is the start of bridging the gap.It is not just about facilities. Connor has repeatedly said that the aspiration is for the Super League to provide a level of cricket that is semi-professional. And professionalisation is partly about pressure: how you handle it, what you do with it, whether it makes or breaks you in a match situation. The Super League provides that pressure.It has a different feel to county cricket. The stakes are higher - prize money and match fees - and the crowds are far, far bigger. For Adams, playing in front of 2240 spectators during the first Vipers game at the Ageas Bowl was an incredible experience: Looking out and seeing so many people, its completely new to me. Ive never played anything quite like this. Its brilliant.Some players thrived under the spotlight. Adams made 41 in that first game at the Ageas Bowl. Loughborough Lightnings young allrounder Paige Scholfield followed her lead in Lightnings very first home game, against Lancashire Thunder, entering the fray at 88 for 7, with her team chasing 165. The third delivery she faced was cut for four; England seamer Kate Cross was quickly dispatched for four boundaries in an over; and then there was a glorious six off Deandra Dottin. Eventually Scholfield was bowled, and Thunder won by six runs. It could have been a lot more.Scholfield admitted to being nervous walking out to bat in front of the 600-strong crowd. But, she said, the womens game is growing, so I guess weve got to get used to it if we want to play at that higher level. And its nice to have the home crowd behind you. For me I was nervous at the start, but then once we got going, it was a good backing behind us, and it almost builds your confidence really.Other players struggle to deal with the pressure. In Bristol against Western Storm, Surrey Stars lost a game they looked certain to win, thanks to a poor performance in the field: leaked runs and dropped chances. Just at the end, said captain Nat Sciver as she reflected on the defeat, when we needed a bit of composure, we put down a couple of catches. This has been a really good standard of tournament. It really shows what the step up is and for some of the county girls it is a little bit different. It is definitely a learning curve.But she promised to have a chat with the team and let them know that a bit of composure and calm can help, and in their very next game Stars pulled off three run-outs - the best a neat piece of work from 20-year-old Cordelia Griffith at short fine leg. The players were learning, game by game, what it meant to step up and deliver.They also learned from their team-mates - the six international players (three England, three overseas) in each of the squads. Sharing knowledge became another Super League catchphrase - as exemplified in several of the opening partnerships across the tournament.There was Adams, promoted to open with Suzie Bates at the last minute following an injury to Edwards. Adams paid tribute to Bates after the game: Her knowledge of the game and of the bowlers that we were facing - it just helped so much to keep me calm, keep me level out there… Suzie guided me through that innings.There was 18-year-old Bryony Smith, who looked in no way out of her depth alongside opening partner Tammy Beaumont as she played classical drives and cheeky ramp shots, taking on bowlers left and right, including the ferocious Katherine Brunt. Being around some of the girls here is just amazing, she said, after making 31 at The Oval. It gives you something to aim for.And then there was Emma Lamb, also 18, who opened in every game for Lancashire Thunder alongside her captain, New Zealander Amy Satterthwaite, and who - with scores of 25, 26, 34, 27 and 10, all at a strike rate of over 100 - was the only non-international player to feature among the top ten group-stage run scorers. To see the young ones like her blossom in this tournament has been really great, said Satterthwaite. Bryony Smith played similarly for Surrey and thats just what England will want to see from those players.These players were asked to shine among the worlds best. Those who managed it surely are the stars of the future.****I spoke to Linsey Smith after her 4 for 10 for Vipers. She seemed shell-shocked, perhaps unable to quite believe that she was the story of the day. I might just have been the first journalist to ever ask her for an interview.I wont be the last. Suddenly everyone knew her name. A review of the inaugural Super League is not complete without a mention of Smith. When she came on to bowl on Finals Day, everyone sat up, knowing that this was a player who could make things happen. It was the kind of scrutiny that some of these players had never experienced before, but which, as the womens game grows, they will need to learn to deal with.Smith seemed to be handling it just fine, thanks. I feel amazing, she said. Its a massive honour to be part of the Vipers, with such a huge variety of players at such different levels, and some world-class players. To get out there on a big stage like this is great.The Ageas Bowl, she says, is her new favourite cricket ground.****Some Super League players will grow into international cricket. Others will not. But all have had an opportunity never before on offer to English domestic female cricketers.For Smith, nothing has ostensibly changed: she went back to county cricket last weekend, and is headed back to university in September. But everything has changed, too. As a player, she said, it has helped me get better and better. Its a huge opportunity.That is the power of Super League. That is bridging the gap.

Marcelo Sarvas broke the deadlock in the 65th minute before Hector Jimenez added an insurance goal 10 minutes from time as the Galaxy (9-7-3) climbed to third place in the Western Conference by improving to 30 points on the season, bringing the club to within one point of second-place FC Dallas (8-4-7). After a scoreless opening period, Los Angeles opened the scoring with a well- worked move down the left side of the penalty area. Omar Gonzalez picked out Robbie Keane on the left flank and the Irishman managed to get to the endline before chipping a cross for Sarvas to nod home with a powerful header at the back post.dddddddddddd The dagger came from similar build-up play in the 80th minute as Keane released Robbie Rogers on the left side of the box. The Galaxy winger slid past his mark and centered a pass to the penalty spot where Jimenez was waiting to tuck home his third goal of the season. Carlo Cudicini had just two saves to make in the Galaxy net as his flawless play helped the club attain an eighth clean sheet of the season.

Download complete, laughed the best Street Fighter player in the world following his championship victory on Sunday night inside the Mandalay Bay Events Center.Lee Infiltration Seon-woo, the 31-year-old South Korean, is known for his robotic precision and sharp intellect. After losing to former Evo Street Fighter champion Ai Fuudo Keita of Japan in the winners final, he fought through the lower bracket like the Terminator. At the end of the night, when Infiltration climbed back to the grand finals to another rematch against the Japanese star, all possible movements and tactics of Fuudos explosive R.Mika had been broken down and dismantled by Team Razers South Korean genius.The win for Infiltration puts him in an elite class, as the SFV championship gives him his fourth title at the Evolution tournament. While he won two tournaments in Street Fighter X Tekken in 2012 and 2013, Infiltrations greatest accomplishment came when he won the Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition title four years ago over Bruce GamerBee Hsiang from Taiwan. He also joins Daigo TheBeast Umehara as the only other competitor to win two mainline Street Fighter titles at Evolution in the modern era.As anticlimactic as it sounds, this tournament was Infiltrations to lose. After his main rival and greatest threat, Hajime Tokido Taniguchi, fell in the run-up to the top eight, the obstacles to his fourth Evolution trophy seemed to completely open up for the top-ranked player in the world. It wasnt until Fuudos mix-up heavy and crowd-pleasing masked wrestler took the stage that Infiltrations throne was in danger.However, when the excess confetti was shot into the arena air, R.Mikas frenzied play had been neutralized, and Infiltration was draped in his homelands flag to the delight of his South Korean fans that had traveled all the way to Vegas.Aside from Fuudo, it was the unexpected Nash player also from Japan, Atsushi Yukadon Fujimura, who gave Infiltration the most trouble. The unheralded player from Japan was given little opportunity to take down the South Korean titan in the winner semifinals, and the game play followed the narrative. Infiltration got ahead early and often, and although the Cinderella story was able to take a set off the multi-time champ, Infiltration adapted -- and he adapted easily.It wasnt until their next match in the loser bracket final where Yukadon showed his possible full potential. The rookie was able to push Infiltration to the brink before the veteran showed his years of professional play by not flinching with his life on the line in the dying rounds.Yukadon shook off his nerves that seemingly struck him in the opener, and the two had the best Nash vs. Nash mirror weve seen thus far in Street Fighter V, with Infiltration barely edging out the Japanese prospect. In third place, Yukadon has made himself known in the scene, and the coming months will show if this was the start of a new force in the professional scene, or simply a one-off performance.First at Final Round 19 in March. First at North California Regionals a week later. First at Red Bull Kumite in April. Second at Community Effort Orlando in June, losing only to the Murderface Tokido. And now, a first-place finish at Evolution 2016, giving him four major Street Fighter V championships in five outings. With more upcoming in the next months on the road to the ultimate prize, the Capcom Tour Championship, Infiltration still has work to do if he wants this year to go down as one of most dominating years for a single player in fighting game history.The mind and heart of South Korean Street Fighter -- Team Secrets fiery Lee Poongko Chung-Gon would be considered the soul -- Infiltration and his Nash have an entire nation behind them.Tokido will be coming for redemption.

Olli Jokinen, Mark Scheifele, and Bryan Little each had a goal and an assist as Winnipeg won 5-2, handing Calgary its record-setting seventh consecutive loss on home ice. A year ago, almost to the day, Australia played a dead Test against England at The Oval. The touring team had been through the darkest of midlands valleys in Birmingham and Nottingham, losing the Ashes in a pair of humiliating defeats that exposed the XI as wholly unsuited to the conditions.But with the urn gone and critics sharpening their caustic prose, the team responded with a far better display in that final Test. They were helped in part by the conditions - it is harder to green up the Oval wicket than those of Edgbaston or Trent Bridge - and also by the reduced intensity of a less consequential Test match.Nevertheless, an innings victory was nothing to be sniffed at, and a fitting farewell for the dual retirees Michael Clarke and Chris Rogers, who were soon to be joined on the sidelines by Shane Watson, Brad Haddin and Mitchell Johnson in addition to the already retired Ryan Harris. A key member of the win was Peter Siddle, an older head ideally suited to English seamers yet somehow ignored until too late to make a difference to the series result.Twelve months on and Colombo seems about to bear witness to a similar sequence. The first two Tests have gone conclusively Sri Lankas way, and the pitch at the SSC is the series fairest if also its driest. Meanwhile, the inclusion of Shaun Marsh has added belated solidity to a batting line-up that could have done with his brand of batting when the destination of the Warne-Muralitharan Trophy was still up for debate.Many a cricket follower likes to poke fun at Marsh, he of the near binary home series against India a few years back, then a series-shaping hundred in South Africa followed immediately by a pair in the next Test and omission from the decider. Then there was the day he was run out for 99 chasing a first Test hundred in Australia - moments that have ensured few cricketers can polarise like him now that Watson in particular has retired from the national team.But at the same time, Marsh is the only member of this squad to have in his possession a Test hundred in Sri Lanka, on debut in Pallekele nearly five years ago. The next Test was played at the SSC, and it was Marshs ever-so-patient 81 that anchored an otherwise wobbly top order. Bizarrely, that match was Marshs last Test match in Asia until this week.The horrors of 2011-12 at home banished him from the Test team for quite some time, meaning he did not figure in the squads to go to India in 2013. He was set to go to the UAE in 2014, before an elbow injury sustained in the IPL necessitated surgery and a delayed start to the 2014-15 season. In both cases, Australian results on tour suggested they could have and indeed did do worse by not having Marsh available to use his mercurial talents in conditions where he was less likely to fall prey to bounce and seam.ddddddddddddMarshs height and reach allow him a decent stretch forward. His power and timing allow him the ability to generate bat speed and scoring zones when he has little pace to work with. Equally, his vast experience in the IPL has given him a level of accomplishment in numerous attacking strokes to spin, and a courage to use them regardless of whether the ball is turning or not. In short, Marsh has a game that can work in this part of the world, a rare gift among contemporary Australian batsmen.One of the key findings of the Australian tour party on this trip is the fact that top six success at home is no sort of indicator for how batsmen will fare in Asia. Before this match, the coach Darren Lehmann contended that changing last summers combination pre-emptively would likely have met with a cold public response. If you have a look at our summer and the way our batters played, he asked, if we didnt take any of those batters, how would we be viewed in the press?Yet it should be among the first lessons learned by any selector that their job is not to curry public favour but to choose winning teams. Earlier in the same press conference, Lehmann had spoken of the importance of batsmen being proactive, not reactive when spinners have conditions in their favour, a maxim he lived by with great success. Selection for Colombo, also including Moises Henriques as a specialist batsman, was nothing if not reactive.As Marsh accumulated calmly on the second afternoon, looking so secure where Joe Burns had been skittish and Usman Khawaja stranded, it was hard to escape the sense that much like Siddle he had been ignored for too long on this tour. Whether or not Australia have other batsmen at home who may also be able to aid the next Asian assignment in India next year remains to be seen, but certainly Peter Handscomb will have his claims.Either way, Lehmann, Rod Marsh and the rest of the selection panel must start to show their proactive side as a matter of urgency. As former Test cricketers, all are conscious of the gravity of their roles, and of a responsibility not to be flippant. But to badly misquote Oscar Wilde: selecting one player too late may be regarded as a misfortune; to do it again starts to look like carelessness. ' ' '

Its been a busy week on the fantasy football waiver wire -- especially at running back -- as many notable players went down with injuries and owners scrambled for their replacements.Some fantasy players may feel quite undermanned heading into Week 3, but there are no bye week issues yet and hopefully good depth and/or a fruitful excursion to the free agent list has you ready for this weeks full slate of games.---BATTLE OF THE BACKUPSThe Panthers host the Vikings in a featured matchup of teams that are relying on reserve running backs to step forward for injured starters. Jerick McKinnon takes over for the shelved Adrian Peterson, with Matt Asiata also playing a role as a short-yardage vulture. The Panthers have allowed 106.5 rushing yards per game so far, so plug in the nifty McKinnon right away if you lost Peterson, and consider him as a flex play if you simply landed him off waivers. Asiata scored nine TDs when Peterson was suspended in 2014, but is better used when byes roll around. Cameron Artis-Payne and Fozzy Whittaker may share some work in place of Jonathan Stewart. The stingy Vikings defense is sixth against the run so far and Artis-Payne might only post mediocre totals, while Whittaker can give you some point-per-reception respectability because of his pass-catching abilities.---DOWNTRODDEN BROWNSCleveland has already lost their top two quarterbacks, and have to go with untested rookie Cody Kessler at Miami, which should be hungry to win after losing at Seattle and New England. Promising rookie Corey Coleman broke his hand in practice this week, and even suspended wideout Josh Gordon battled more off-field issues as Cleveland continues to spiral downward. Isaiah Crowell may have to face stacked fronts and Gary Barnidges appeal has fallen again. Meanwhile, Ryan Tannehill has a very appealing matchup and an emerging DeVante Parker is looking like a viable starter on the rise.---RISE OF THE ROOKIE STAREzekiel Elliott was a first-round pick in many leagues, but has yet to break out with 134 rushing yards in two games. He does have two rushing TDs, but only 5 receiving yards and there were public whispers about his conditioning and focus this week. Elliott would quiet doubters and please those who invested a high pick in him (including the Cowboys) with a strong performance against the Bears. Chicago has allowed 114.5 rushing yards per game and lost three key members of its defensive front to injuries this week. This is the game for Elliott and an underperforming Dallas offensive line to truly get on track.---STILL CHARGINGSan Diego lost Danny Woodhead this past week, Keenan Allen is already gone, and Antonio Gates is trying to work through a hamstring problem. Fortunately for San Diego, they draw what appears to be the AFCs worst defense as they travel to Indianapolis. The resurgent Melvin Gordon already has three rushing scores after not registering any in his rookie year and is a prime start this week with a larger role awaiting with Woodhead out. Gordon is a terrific daily fantasy play, as the Colts have allowed 125 rushing yards per game so far. Newly signed Dexter McCluster should be added as a free agent for point-per-reception depth if still available, and WRs Travis Benjamin and Tyrell Williams are good starts against a pass defense that has already surrendered nearly 600 passing yards.---SEATTLE SLUMPThe Seahawks offense has scored only one TD through its first two games. Russell Wilson has not been himself because of an ankle injury that has limited his mobility and sometimes affected his passing. A home date vs. the 49ers may appear to cure some ills, but divisional games are never easy. Keep Wilson reserved until he shows signs of improving. Christine Michael is a good flex option this week. Thomas Rawls is now doubtful with a shin injury. Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett still have potential to be playmakers even if their game is lower scoring. Also add Jimmy Graham if he is still a free agent, as he is gradually starting to get closer to being a more frequent contributor.---TALE OF TWO TAMPASJameis Winston will try to put a terrible Week 2 behind him and regroup against the Rams. Charles Sims takes over for the injured Doug Martin and should get strong starting consideration because of his versatility and expanded role. Winston is too erratic to be trusted yet, but Mike Evans is already flourishing in a lot of leagues and slot receiver Adam Humphries is looking like an interesting add in leagues with 14 teams or more, or even very competitive 12-teamers. This could be the week when Rams RB Todd Gurley shows his 2015 form.---ERRATIC PACKThe Green Bay offense has continued to disappoint, as Aaron Rodgers has been the ninth-best QB in fantasy so far. The Lions have allowed 592 yards and six TDs to opposing passers, so there is hope for an upturn this week. Expect Jordy Nelson to score and Randall Cobb to display his better form again. Eddie Lacy should get a chance to finish off a scoring drive or two with a TD run. Matthew Stafford will keep pace and you can start Marvin Jones and Eric Ebron with confidence. The Packers defense has been very good against the run so far, but Theo Riddick should play an expanded role this week with Ameer Abdullah out.---MONDAY NIGHT FIREWORKSThe Monday night matchup between the Falcons and Saints looks like a shootout.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Gulfstream Park in Florida will hold a $400,000 race on Jan. 28 on the undercard of the $12 million Pegasus World Cup and allow stakeholders to pre-enter two horses in the Pegasus, officials of The Stronach Group, which owns Gulfstream, said on Monday night. One horse would be allowed to run in the Pegasus and the other in the secondary stakes, the Poseidon Stakes.The Poseidon Stakes will be run with identical conditions to the Pegasus, at 1-1/8 miles on the dirt for horses 4 years old and up, according to Mike Rogers, an executive with The Stronach Group who is spearheading the planning for the Pegasus and its undercard. The field will be restricted to the horses that stakeholders have entered but are not running in the Pegasus.The Stronach Group, which is owned by a family trust controlled by the billionaire racing titan Frank Stronach, has sold 12 berths in the Pegasus to individuals or partnerships who have committed to pay $1 million each for a slot in the starting gate and a share of the revenue from the race. That money is being used to fund the entire purse, which will be the largest in the world. The stakeholders will be allowed to sell their slots or strike other deals to secure a horse for the race.Under new rules for the race hashed out with the stakeholders during a meeting on Monday in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., each stakeholder will be allowed to enter an A horse and a B horse in the Pegasus when entries are taken on the Monday prior to the Pegasus, Rogers said. In the event of a scratch of the A horse, the B horse can be entered in the Pegasus. If the A horse stays in the Pegasus, the B horse will be allowed to run in the Poseidon, Rogers said, provided the stakeholders pay a $20,000 entry fee.While The Stronach Group was able to sell all 12 spots in the race relatively quickly after announcing plans for the race in mid-May, many of the details about the running of the race, including scratch rules, had not yet been set. The meeting Monday was called to discuss unresolved details with the stakeholders, Rogers said.Under the rules communicated Monday, any stakeholder whose horse is scratched on race day from the Pegasus for a certified veterinary reason will be eligible to receive the last-place portion of the races purse and still share in the net revenue from the race, Rogers said. If the horse is scratched by the owner or trainer after the 8 a.m. scratch time on the Saturday of the race, then the stakeholders share of both purse and revenue will be forfeit, said Rogers.Were looking at it this way becauuse its to everyones benefit to have 12 horses in the race, Rogers said.dddddddddddd Its important to have all 12 horses.Rogers also said that the stakeholders discussed a redistribution of the purse in the race, but unlike the scratch rules, the redistribution will need to be approved by all 12 stakeholder groups because the current distribution was explicitly outlined in an agreement the stakeholders signed when they provided their initial $200,000 deposit in late May. Rogers said he intends to send a letter out this week asking the stakeholders to formally approve the redistribution.Under the redistribution proposal, the purse for the top-three positions will remain the same at $7 million, $1.75 million, and $1 million, respectively, but a small portion of the purses for the fourth through 12th spots will be redistributed to the fourth and fifth spots. Any horse finishing out of the top three in the Pegasus had been guaranteed $250,000, but the proposal will reduce that to $200,000 for the sixth through 12th places to redistribute the additional money to the fourth and fifth positions, Rogers said.Rogers said the intent of redistributing the portion upward is to incentivize finishing fourth or fifth because The Stronach Group wants to offer a superfecta and super high five on the race. Racing regulators generally support larger purse awards for fourth and fifth place in races with wagers tied to those positions so that riders continue to encourage their mounts to the finish line.The meeting on Monday was led by Frank Stronach, Rogers said, while his daughter Belinda, who was recently made chairman and president of the family company, was also present. All of the stakeholders but Paul Reddam were present for the race, which is why the purse redistribution was not immediately approved, Rogers said, requiring the formal letter.Were not going to make any changes that dont get 100 percent, unanimous consent, Rogers said.Rogers also said that the stakeholders at the meeting asked The Stronach Group to provide them with the names of other individuals who contacted the company about securing a berth in the race, to supply the stakeholders with contacts to target if they intend to sell their berth in the Pegasus. Seven stakeholders do not own a horse that would be competitive in the race, and Stronach Group officials said recently that they had significantly more interest in the race than the 12 announced stakeholders.

Here are some things to watch in the Southeastern Conference during the second week of the season:GAME OF THE WEEK: No. 17 Tennessee vs. Virginia Tech at Bristol Motor Speedway: More than 150,000 fans are expected to gather at a speedway that has been transformed into a football stadium for this long-awaited matchup. That crowd would shatter the NCAA single-game attendance record of 115,109, set at Michigan Stadium for Michigans 2013 victory over Notre Dame. Tennessee tumbled eight spots in the Top 25 after rallying for a 20-13 overtime triumph over Appalachian State, while Virginia Tech beat Football Championship Subdivision program Liberty 36-13 in its first game under new coach Justin Fuente.MATCHUP OF THE WEEK: Arkansas offensive line vs. No. 15 TCU defensive line: Arkansas wont have a chance of winning at TCU unless it gets plenty of improvement from an offensive line that lost three starters from last season. Arkansas allowed four sacks and averaged just 2.7 yards per carry in a 21-20 victory over Louisiana Tech. A line led by left tackle Dan Skipper faces a major challenge against a TCU defensive front featuring ends Josh Carraway and James McFarland.NUMBERS GAME: The SEC went 6-6 in nonconference games in the opening week of the season. The league had gone 313-53 in regular-season nonconference games from 2009-15 for an .855 winning percentage. ... Georgias Nick Chubb ran for 222 yards against North Carolina last week and now has three career 200-yard performances. The only Georgia running back with more 200-yard games was Herschel Walker with nine. ... Florida has beaten Kentucky 29 straight times, which represents the longest active winning streak over a major opponent in an uninterrupted series. The longest such streak ever is owned by Notre Dame, which beat Navy 43 straight years from 1964-2006. ... Although former Southwest Conference rivals Arkansas and TCU have faced each other 68 times, Saturday marks their first meeting since 1991.LONG SHOT: Florida is a 17-point favorite over Kentucky, which is a lot of points considering how pedestrian the Gators offense looked in last weeks win over UMass. Mississippi State is a 6+-point favorite over South Carolina even though the Bulldogs lost to South Alabama last week. Vanderbilts a 5 +-point favorite over a solid Middle Tennessee team despite scoring just 10 points in its season-opening loss to South Carolina.IMPACT PLAYER: Alabama QB Jalen Hurts: One of the big questions for Alabama was who would emerge as the guy to replace Jake Coker. The Tide may have found that guy last week after Hurts -- a freshman -- threw two touchdown passes and ran for two more scores in a 52-6 wipeout of Southern California.-----AP Sports Writers Steve Megargee in Knoxville, Tennessee, and David Brandt in Jackson, Mississippi, contributed to this story.

Signed Michael Jordan Jersey . -- Aaron Murray threw for 408 yards and three touchdowns, ran for another score, and led No.Eight of the best players on the planet will showcase their skills at the ATP World Tour Finals at London’s O2 from November 13-20. From thumping forehands to blistering backhands and miraculous returns, fans can expect to see some thrilling tennis.Here, we pick out the trademark shots to look out for from each of the title hopefuls… Stan Wawrinka: Backhand Wawrinka has arguably the best backhand in the sport and unleashes it with not only ferocious power but also pinpoint accuracy.It is different to his rivals backhands, largely because he adopts an open stance side on and drills directly into the ball, which means it carries little top spin and arrives at his opponents far earlier and flatter than they are used to.Milos Raonic: Serve Raonic has one of the fastest and most unpredictable serves in tennis. Following an unusually high ball toss, he holds his racket face on, as opposed to the side-on style adopted by other players, which generates more power and makes it difficult for opponents to anticipate which direction the ball will travel in.Raonic is the owner of the sixth-fastest serve in history, a 250kmh rocket at the 2012 Rogers Cup.Andy Murray: Serve return Murray is a master of all tennis trades, but if you had to pick out one single shot that is narrowly better than the others, it is tough to look past his serve return.His ability to read a serve, his blink-of-an-eye reaction times and his speed across the baseline mean only the very best deliveries evade him.He knows that as long as he gets the ball back over the net, he is good enough in other areas of the game to seize back the initiative in the rally and win the point.Marin Cilic: Forehand Cilic adopts an off forehand technique to his forehand to generate more power and consequently hits harder and flatter than just about anyone else on tour.His 2014 US Open win was built on this exceptional shot, which he sends the ball over the net at angles and speed few other players can conjure.It is especially lethal on hard and fast courts, soo the fast O2 surface should suit him perfectly.ddddddddddddGael Monfils: Flair shot Monfils is tennis showman and while his trademark exhibition shots may not always win him points and matches, they never fail to entertain.He is prepared to try shots that other players wouldnt even consider, be they hot dogs, pirouettes or flying smashes.Novak Djokovic: Defensive shot Djokovic is another all-rounder who excels in every discipline, but his greatest weapon is often his defensive play and, in particular, his remarkable stretch shot.While most players take three or four steps to reach a deep ball, Djokovic needs just two huge strides and then uses his remarkable elasticity to stretch and return it with a forehand or backhand slice.Kei Nishikori: Jumping forehand Although jumping forehands are common throughout tennis, Nishikori has to rely on it more than most thanks to the fact that, at 5ft 10in, he is almost always shorter than his opponent.Lifting feet off the ground can compromise the form of a shot, but Nishikori unleashes it without sacrificing speed or accuracy.Dominic Thiem: Backhand Thiems aggressive single-handed backhand was a sight to behold for the first six months of this season. It has changed little from his days playing tennis as a child and is one of the most natural strokes in the sport.He tends to glide at the ball, but still generates enough power capable of unerring accuracy. Thiems forehand is not as noteworthy in terms of style but is just as potent.I think the single handed backhand is a beautiful shot, the young Austrian said during a press conference. Im happy there are some young guys that play with it because it would be a shame if it dies.Watch every day of the ATP World Tour Finals, from November 13-20, live on Sky Sports. Full schedule here.

Im not going to try and fill his boots, Ill just try to do my job, Tuohy said on Monday.Obviously hes a legend of the club and of the game.Its great that hes still around and Ill latch onto him at training and learn as much as I possibly can.Tuohy, 26, signed a four-year deal with the Cats, who sent utility Billie Smedts to the Blues with an exchange of draft picks at tthe recent AFL trade period.ddddddddddddThe Irishman is philosophical about his surprise departure from the Blues after 120 games in six seasons.Once it became apparent that I probably wasnt going to be at Carlton I had to see where my future was going to lie, he said.As soon as Geelong came along, theyre a club Ive respected hugely for a long time, I couldnt turn it down - it was too good an opportunity.I had a great time at Carlton and I love the club still ... but its a cut-throat industry - thats the way things are.Once the decision was made I was happy to move on and start my new career at Geelong.Tuohy wore the No.42 guernsey in his time with the Blues, but is keen for a new number as he starts a new chapter in his career.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Anaheim Ducks acquired goalie Jonathan Bernier from Toronto on Friday in exchange for a conditional draft pick in 2017.Bernier will be the backup to John Gibson, who took over Anaheims starting job last month when the Ducks traded Frederik Andersen to the Maple Leafs.Andersen and Gibson combined last season to win the Jennings Trophy for the Ducks, who finished with the NHLs lowest goals-against average.Bernier returns to Southern California after starting his NHL career with the Los Angeles Kings, who drafted him in the first round in 2006. He won a Stanley Cup ring in 2012 as Jonathan Quicks backup before getting traded to Toronto in 2013.The four-time defending Pacific Division champion Ducks broke up their award-winning goalie tandem when they couldnt reach a long-term contract agreement with Andersen, who got a five-year, $25 million deal from Toronto after the move.Bernier has a hefty cap hit of $4.1 million for the upcoming season, but the Ducks will pay only $2.1 million because the goalie already received a $2 million signing bonus.After an 0-8-1 start to last season, Bernier went 12-21-3 with a 2.88 goals-against average for the Maple Leafs, who finished with the NHLs worst record. Toronto likely will have Andersen and youngster Garret Sparks in net.Bernier made his NHL debut against the Ducks in September 2007, getting a win for the Kings in a game played in London.

LONDON -- Britains police watchdog says two officers are under criminal investigation over the death of a former Premier League soccer player who was shot with a stun gun by police.The Independent Police Complaints Commission said Friday that the West Mercia Police force officers are also being served with gross misconduct notices after the death of Dalian Atkinson.The commission says a criminal investigation does not mean that criminal charges will necessarily follow.Ex-Aston Villa player Atkinson, 48, was shot with a Taser outside his childhood home in Telford, central England, on Monday. He was pronounced dead about 90 minutes later.The watchdog said an initial post-mortem was inconclusive.Atkinson scored 20 Premier League goals with Villa between 1991 and 1995.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff is curious to know whether his team has fixed the problems it suffered at the Singapore street circuit last year.Singapore proved to be an anomaly in an otherwise dominant season for Mercedes in 2015, with Lewis Hamilton qualifying 1.4s off pole position in sixth and Nico Rosberg (the only Mercedes finisher) crossing the line 24s behind race winner Sebastian Vettel. The team addressed the cars set-up at the following rounds of 2015, but Wolff says the only way to know if the problems are solved for sure is to return to the track this weekend.We werent competitive there last year and I think we understood why, he said. We made some conclusions that helped us in the following races and throughout the season, and in Singapore [this year] we are going to check if we were right.There is no silver bullet or one thing that went wrong, but many things probably related to each other. This is why Im really curious and excited to see how Singapore is going to work.Wolff said Mercedess aims to have a car that is as good as possible at as many races as possible during the season, but admitted there are always going to be weaker tracks.ddddddddddddou can see where we got it right is that our car is the best compromise over 21 races and you need to have a chassis, engine and aero combination that works well on average. And then you have outliers and there are teams that are doing extremely well on circuits like Singapore because they are high downforce, but they are not competitive on a circuit like Monza.Wolff went on to draw a comparison with Red Bull, which struggled at Monza this year.You can play the blame game and say the engine is not good enough, the car is draggy and has a rake like you are doing a handstand - but then you cant expect it to go fast on the straights. Its about finding the best compromise, so lets see what happens in Singapore. ' ' '
