Redskins Name Kirk Cousins Starting Quarterback: Rumors Swirling ...

Image
Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden has named Kirk Cousins the team�s starting quarterback going forward, meaning that the second overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft will be riding the bench, if he indeed remains with the team.  The rumor is that several top members of the Washington Redskins front office and coaching staff want Robert Griffin III to be traded to another team before the start of the 2015 season, or want the team to release Griffin, but owner Daniel Snyder has shut them down so far and is insisting that the team keeps RGIII.  Griffin has been the face of the franchise, and he is the only player on the team with national endorsement deals, so it�s no surprise that Snyder wants him to remain with the team.  There have been rumors that teams such as the Houston Texans, Buffalo Bills or New York Jets could be interested in buying low on Robert Griffin III, but the Redskins (who traded five draft picks including four first round picks for the right to draf...

Conventional Wisdom is Wrong Again | Get Sport IQ

Posted by Dean Holden  at August 30th, 2015 by Jack Blatherwick , 4 June 2015 The �experts� were at it in full force before game7: Blackhawks vs. Ducks for all the marbles. Pre-game question: �Eddie (Olczyk), what do the Ducks have to do in order to win?�  Answer: �Stick with their game plan (which failed in game 6). They have to be PHYSICAL.� Next question: �Jonesy, what does Anaheim need from their top players tonight?� �Be nasty,� was the short reply from Keith Jones. The video from a previous game is rolling, and Corey Perry is featured trying to break the arm of a Chicago forward with a wicked two-handed slash. �We like this kind of hockey,� Jones adds with a grin. Later, at a crucial moment of the game, Ryan Kesler scores a goal to give the Ducks a breath of life with the score 4-1. But it just couldn�t last, this idea of scoring goals before the series is lost. It was too un-physical, so Kesler makes another two-handed slash, breaks the opponent�s stick and hea...

In very ill, probiotics don't prevent 'superbugs ... - The Sport Coach

Image
Compared with routine medical care, probiotics administered to critically ill patients in intensive care units showed no benefit in preventing the colonization of drug-resistant microbes in the intestinal tract, according to new research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (above) was no more effective than regular medical care in preventing the colonization of superbugs in the gastrointestinal tracts of critically ill patients, according to a pilot study by Washington University researchers. Credit: Washington University in St. Louis Probiotics � live microorganisms believed to help restore the balance of intestinal bacteria and increase resistance to harmful germs � were given to patients twice daily for up to two weeks. But they were no more effective than not giving probiotics, the researchers report Aug. 27 in Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology. �Probiotic use is an intriguing topic,� said Jennie H. Kwon, DO...

Still on govt and our local pro league - The Punch

Image
Adokiye Amiesimaka On 6th September, 1971, a Decree establishing the National Sports Commission was promulgated, entrusting it among other things �with the responsibility of encouraging and developing sports and games throughout Nigeria�� It was also �to provide and maintain sports centres and facilities�� Sports associations that were affiliated to their parent international bodies and expected to be run under their approved statutes were also statutorily tied to the apron-strings of the NSC. That was how sports became public sector driven in Nigeria. In the early 1990s, however, government singled out football among the over twenty Olympic sports for legislation and, despite the introduction of professionalism, made the Board of the Nigeria Football Association � the football governing body � subject to the control of the Minister in charge of Sports vide the NFA Act, 2004 (recently repealed). The Minister�s control of the NFA extended to the Board of the Nigeria Premier League too a...

Witte K?lner Sommerbahnmeister 2015 | Team Sportforum Kaarst ...

Image
Nachdem Lars Witte schon Mitte Juli seine gute Form auf der Bahn mit dem neunten Platz bei der Deutschen Meisterschaft Omnium in K�ln unter Beweis stellen konnte, folgt nun der erste Sieg in dieser Saison f�r den Fahrer des Team Sportforum Kaarst/B�ttgen. Die allj�hrliche K�lner Sommerbahnmeisterschaft erstreckte sich �ber vier Veranstaltungen, welche jede Woche am Mittwochabend ausgerichtet wurden. An jedem Renntag fanden jeweils zwei Wettbewerbe statt. Fast alle Wettk�mpfe wurden gemeinsam mit dem M�nneromnium ausgefahren. Die Gesamtwertungen blieben allerdings voneinander getrennt. Schon am ersten Renntag �bernahm Witte die F�hrung in der Gesamtwertung der Juniorenklasse. Diese verteidigte er �ber bis zum Ende der Veranstaltungsserie. Neben der fliegenden Runde standen noch Ausscheidungsfahren, Temporunden, Handicap, 1000m Zeitfahren, Punktefahren und das abschlie�ende australische Jagdrennen auf dem Programm. Au�erdem erreichte Witte zusammen mit Jonath...

8 DAYS TO KICKOFF: Dillon Wilson - Bring On The Cats

Image
In which BracketCat counts down the eighth day until kickoff with a profile of kicker Dillon Wilson. Goal No. 8: ENTHUSIASM. #8 Dillon Wilson Redshirt Senior 5-11 | 184 Midlothian, Texas Bio Position: Kicker Previous College: None Projection: Third-String Status: On Scholarship Dillon Scott Wilson (b. May 21, 1993) is a place-kicker entering his fifth year in the program who will continue to compete for kickoff and placement duties, but has yet to make an actual kick in a real, live Division I football game. Wilson redshirted in 2011 and did not see any game action as a member of the scout team in 2012, 2013 or 2014, and the rise of sophomore Matthew McCrane seems to close the door to Wilson's ever making a meaningful kick. He was 6 of 8 on field goals with a long of 44 during his senior year at Midlothian High School under head coach Lee Wigington. He made 7 of 7, with a long of 47, as a junior. Wilson was named one of the Top 100 overall recruits in the Dallas-Fort Worth ar...

Steve Ballmer declines $60M/yr TV deal, could start streaming service

Image
In case you weren�t aware, Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer isn�t just merely an ebullient ball of enthusiasm that passionately rallies his troops by sweating through dress shirts, screaming out �HARDCORE� at the top of his lungs, and dancing boisterously to Fergie songs . The former Microsoft CEO also brings to the table a ton of innovative business practices and visions for the franchise. Now, his latest potential venture may reshape the way we consume the sport of basketball entirely. According to a report on Friday by Claire Atkinson of the New York Post , Ballmer recently turned down a local TV deal that would have paid roughly $60 million per year. The bid was made by Fox Sports� Prime Ticket, the network that currently holds the Clippers� TV rights through the 2015-16 season and was looking to renew their partnership with the team. So why did Ballmer opt to reject the offer? Well for one, $60 million a year is an almost-insulting lowball offer for a title-contending tea...

Jeff : I don�t see much drop off at Florida State this year. Dalvin Cook will play and is the conference�s 2nd best RB. The Noles despite all their personal losses to the NFL still out talent anyone on their schedule. They won�t make it this year without losing an ACC and I think it will be at Clemson, but a soft opening slate eases them into the season. Clemson starts and ends with Deshaun Watson� period. Louisville has good talent, and should be solid. I love Jacoby Brissett at QB for NC State, and the Wolfpack h...

UFC Lawsuit: Fighters, Zuffa clash on 'Highly Confidential ...

Image
The UFC and plaintiff fighters in the antitrust lawsuit are in a battle over what discovery items Rob Maysey will be allowed to see as an attorney-of-record for plaintiffs but also the founder of the Mixed Martial Arts Fighters Association. The discovery battle is on! Attorneys for the UFC, alongside attorneys representing current and former fighters engaged in a class-action, antitrust lawsuit were required yesterday to submit proposals for the protection and confidentiality of discovery materials. They disagree on one major area - what Rob Maysey should be allowed to see. Maysey is an attorney-of-record for the plaintiff fighters and is also the founder of the Mixed Martial Arts Fighters Association (MMAFA), an organization aiming to "maximize the influence and earning capacity of its members in the sport of mixed martial arts." The UFC has a big problem with Maysey putting eyes on its most sensitive and confidential trade secrets, revenue/cost documents and strategic infor...

Juventus Unlikely To Move For Arsenal, Man Utd Target Julian Draxler

Reports are out claiming that Juventus chief Beppe Marotta admits a move for Schalke midfielder Julian Draxler is unlikely. Marotta admits a deal for Draxler has stalled. �Football is a team sport, and I don�t think an individual is absolutely decisive,� Marotta told Mediaset when asked about Draxler. �Our club prefer to talk about great achievements and history. We�ve done great things in Italy and in Europe. �We�ve never stopped anything for money reasons, though of course fairness is a crucial part of any negotiation. �It�s not easy to find players worthy of Juventus.� Premier League giants Arsenal and Manchester United are said to be interested in Julian Draxler.

Ohio football team gets live tiger mascot for season opener | Pure ...

Image
http://ift.tt/1ka4Un6 Updated Aug 28, 2015 at 7:44a ET MASSILLON, Ohio (AP) An Ohio high school football team that�s had a live tiger cub at games for decades has kicked off the season with its traditional mascot, even though the boosters haven�t proved they�d meet stricter state rules for keeping exotic animals. The Independent (http://bit.ly/1Enxzng ) reports that boosters for Massillon�s Washington High School displayed a cub in a cage at Thursday�s game against Perry. Club president Matt Keller wouldn�t say where the animal came from or who paid for its appearance, and he says it would be premature to assume the tiger will be at future games. New rules were adopted by the state after a suicidal man released dozens of dangerous animals in 2011. A Department of Agriculture spokeswoman tells The Associated Press the Massillon boosters haven�t provided all requested documentation to prove they�d meet those rules. � Information from: The Independent, http://ift.tt/1nFQmRv Source: http...

Hey, Let's Roll Light: The 'Pussification' of Jiu-Jitsu and How to ...

Image
By Guillaume (Gile) Huni, BJJ black belt and head instructor of Kimura Academy in Belgrade, Serbia. �Jiu-Jitsu Transforms Cowards into Men, Chickens into Stallions� Carlos Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is growing at an amazing rate worldwide. More people are training in all corners of the world. BJJ is evolving.  � Jiu-Jitsu for everyone � and � Keep it playful � are phrases that are used by 2 major BJJ academy chains. It means that Jiu-Jitsu can be trained by the general population: from kids to the serious BJJ competitor to the middle age accountant who wants to lose weight and learn to defend himself. Also by �keeping it playful� they become more creative with their Jiu-Jitsu, they avoid injuries and are able to roll into their 90�s. The idea is very good. We want to spread Jiu-Jitsu all over the world and we also want to train for life and avoid injuries. There is a worrying problem though. The problem with these phrases is that, with the growing popularity of BJJ, we are faced w...

http://ift.tt/1Eo6v7x Updated Aug 27, 2015 at 11:01p ET SONOMA, Calif.   �   Justin Wilson�s race car will be back on track for the IndyCar season finale. Andretti Autosport announced Thursday that series veteran Oriol Servia will drive Wilson�s No. 25 Honda at Sonoma Raceway this weekend. Wilson died Monday, a day after a piece of debris from another car struck him in the head at Pocono Raceway. �Justin was a true racer and advocate to our sport,� team owner Michael Andretti said. �We will have Justin and his family in our hearts this weekend as we honor him in the way he would want us to, by doing what he loved � racing.� Servia and Wilson were close friends, which makes Servia�s task �so difficult on so many levels for obvious reasons,� he said. �It�s hard for the words to come out the right way,� Servia added. �I have known and raced Justin for more than 10 years. I have an enormous amount of respect for him as a racer, but his qualities as a human were definitely an inspi...

Image
MOORESVILLE, N.C. � A throwback conversation wouldn�t be complete without the iconic No. 43 STP Ford and neither would the throwback The Tradition Returns weekend at Darlington Raceway. Joining in on the retro paint schemes, Aric Almirola will pilot the 1972 �Petty Blue� and Day-Glo Red No. 43 STP paint scheme, originally driven by �The King� Richard Petty. STP will also have special guests at the track during its return to Labor Day weekend. Members of the 1972 crew will join STP and the No. 43 Richard Petty Motorsports team for the Bojangles Southern 500. �When you think throwback racing, you think STP and �The King�,� said Almirola. �It�s really special to drive a car with so much history and such an iconic car of that time. The 1972 paint scheme was very popular, and it will be really cool to drive in a race that embraces the history of our sport. I know we�ll have a lot of fans cheering on that �Petty Blue� and Day-Glo Red Ford, which is really exciting.� 1972 marked the first ye...
