Geoff Swaim ready for opportunity to replace Jason Witten

He has played 28 games in three seasons, making nine catches for 94 yards.

It’s self-evidently a very big year. Contract year, this and that, Swaim said. It’s really just a chance for me to see what I can make of myself. That’s pretty much how I look at it. I really don’t look too far ahead in the future, and I mean that sincerely. I’m a pretty simple dude. I try to think of just what can I do now and what’s relevant right now. Everything else doesn’t matter.

Fortunately, his teammate Davante Adams said shortly afterward that Matthews was OK.

I wanted to let everybody know Clay is all right, Adams said. He’s got a little boo-boo on his nose, but he’ll be all right. He’s a tough guy.

NFL teams are always concerned any time a player does anything off the field that could result in injury, but a charity softball game is usually a low-impact sporting event. Matthews was unlucky to get hit in the face, but lucky not to have anything more than a little boo-boo.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Matthews is believed to have a broken nose and is being treated at an emergency room.

Gregorius took over at the position for Jeter in 2015, following Jeter’s retirement the previous year. Jeter is now a Marlins owner.

Gregorius has come back to life lately. In his last 12 games, he’s hitting.295, or 13-for-44.

Judge is good (health wise), manager Aaron Boone said. Obviously I was really relieved that he was good to go (Saturday) and obviously (he hit) the big home run. I just decided after the game that with the off day (Monday) that I wanted to give him a couple (days off). He fought me a little bit on it… but I wanted to play the long game a little bit.

Adam Silver talks anthem, sports betting, the Sixers and more in annual NBA Finals address

Speaking before Game 1 of the NBA Finals, Commissioner Adam Silver said there have been no discussions with the National Basketball Players Association about changing the league’s policy regarding the national anthem, and said that the NFL is in a very different situation than the NBA when it comes to the rule.

In terms of the anthem policy, of course I’ve watched what the NFL has done, Silver said Thursday evening. I feel that they’re in a very different situation than the NBA is in. Of course, we’ve had a rule on our books that precedes David Stern. It was put in place by Larry O’Brien in the early ’80s.

From my standpoint, it’s been about respect — respect for the institution, respect for the fans, respect for the country that these players are playing in. In the case of the NBA, of course, 25 percent of our league is comprised of players who aren’t American. So it’s hard to say in the case of the NBA it’s about patriotism when a quarter of our players aren’t even American.

During the half-hour news conference, Silver also touched on a number of other issues, from the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers meeting for a fourth straight time in the NBA Finals, to gambling, to the possibility of a hard cap.

But given the events of the past few days, it wasn’t surprising that one of the first answers Silver gave was to a question about the status of the investigation into the possible links between Twitter accounts and Philadelphia 76ers President of Basketball Operations Bryan Colangelo, an investigation the team announced Wednesday after the accounts came to light in a story published by The Ringer on Tuesday night.

We’re trying to get it out of them to understand, ‘Hey, you might not be a 60-snap-a-game guy. You might be a 15 snap-per-game guy, do the best job in your role and how you can help us win.’

Guenther was one of Jon Gruden’s first hires after being brought back for a second stint as coach in Oakland back in January and immediately given a tough task.

The Raiders defense has consistently been one of the league’s worst the past 15 years under coordinators Chuck Bresnahan, Rob Ryan, John Marshall, Jason Tarver, Ken Norton Jr. and John Pagano.

Oakland ranks last in the NFL in takeaways and points allowed in that span, second worst in yards allowed per game and third worst in sacks as the unit has struggled consistently from the front seven to the secondary.

Namath estimates that he suffered five concussions.

Peyton Manning Jersey and Tiger Woods scheduled to be paired up for a golf pro-am

Elite Womens Montee Ball Jersey
Peyton Manning could have taken a TV job this offseason, but that didn’t happen. Apparently he wants to keep having fun in retirement, which is good news for him, because he’s probably going to have some serious fun at the Memorial Tournament later this month. The golf tournament announced on Wednesday that Manning will be pairing up with Tiger Woods in Dublin, Ohio for the pro-am portion of the event on May 30.
#3 Nike George Hill Women's Ash NBA - Backer Cleveland Cavaliers T-Shirt
Oh, and Woods also said Manning’s retirement was a good thing because it Mark Melancon Jersey would actually give the Raiders a chance to win the division.

Luca Sbisa Authentic Jersey Woods will be hoping his Memorial experience goes slightly better than his last one. Tiger hasn’t played in the tournament since 2015, when he finished dead last out of the players who made the cut. Of course, Woods has also had some serious success at Muirfield Village, winning the tournament a total of five times (1999, 2000, 2001, 2009 and 2012). Sure, it’s been six years since Woods last won the tournament, but it wouldn’t be completely shocking to see his name on the leaderboard over the course of the four-day tournament. Woods will be heading to Ohio on somewhat of a roll (for him): Tiger finished 11th at The Players Championship after shooting an impressive 11-under. That total included a seven-under 65 on Day 3, which is his best round so far this year. Although you won’t be able to watch the pro-am on CBS, we will be broadcasting the final two rounds of the tournament on June 3 and June 4, so you’ll want to make sure to tune-in.

During an interview this week at the Cowboys’ annual Reliant Home Run Derby, Prescott revealed that he’s set a pretty lofty career goal for himself: He wants to be remembered as the best quarterback in Cowboys history. The subject came up on Wednesday after Prescott was asked if there’s any pressure that comes with potentially signing a huge contract after the 2018 season. I want to be the best I can, Prescott said, via the Dallas Morning News.

I want to be the best quarterback that the Cowboys ever had. So when I go in each and every day, it’s just about being the best player I can be. All that stuff comes when you play the game well. If Prescott wants to be the best quarterback in Cowboys history, he’s definitely going to have to win a few Super Bowls. The Cowboys have two Hall of Famers in Aikman and Staubach, who both won multiple Lombardi trophies during their career. There’s also Romo, who is the team’s career passing leader with 34,183 yards.

They would have taken down Peyton Manning Jersey and Tom Brady in back-to-back years with one of the all-time great defenses.

Again, this is fascinating to hear from someone who was a part of the proceedings. Seth Wickersham of ESPN penned a profile in 2017 of the Seahawks that detailed schisms in the locker room — multiple players, including cornerback Richard Sherman , came out and denied the claims. Avril聽 even called it fake news at the time. Sherman, of course, would come out this offseason, after signing with the 49ers , and say the Seahawks lost their way and complained Sam Martin Jersey about Carroll’s message growing stale. Avril’s comments confirm as much too.
Women's Majestic St. Louis Cardinals #9 Roger Maris Replica Grey Road Cool Base MLB Jersey
Danny Kelly of The Ringer joined me on the Pick Six Podcast Friday to talk about the Seahawks and accurately pointed out just how different the Seahawks legacy would have been with a win there. 聽 Everybody could see it, Seahawks fans could see it, the team sort of fell apart after that.

Minnesota Vikings”>Game Youth http://www.officialfootballusa.com/minnesota-vikings/hoodie”>Minnesota Vikings Jersey Losing Super Bowl XLIX would have been devastating for the long-term legacy of the Patriots , who were already catching grief for not winning a Super Bowl since SpyGate (something people forget now that they’ve got two more wins in the last decade).聽 And what are the Seahawks with two rings, much less three? They become a defensive dynasty during a stretch of time when offenses exploded around the NFL.聽 Instead, they become an ultimate case of what if for anyone looking back and wondering what could have been for Seattle if they just gave Marshawn the ball near the goal line.聽

That’s fine. Injuries happen and you’ll earn the chance. First, you have to prove you can play. From there, you can play a long time in this league. I took that to heart. It’s all about effort, it’s all about want-to.

Gregorius has been the Yankees’ everyday shortstop since taking over for Derek Jeter in 2015. He said he’s made it a point to create some kind of gesture with his double-play mate — a handshake or a dance move that’s unique to them, something over which they can bond.
Markus Granlund Limited Jersey
With Starlin Castro, whom the Yankees traded to the Marlins in the offseason, Gregorius would miss their top high five, hit their bottom five on the way back around and then they would leap in the air and bump hips. Gregorius said he did something similar with Tyler Wade.

I have something with everybody, Gregorius said.

Ryan Shazier Jersey injury update: Steelers place LB on Reserve/PUP list

Ryan Shazier has officially been shut down for 2018.
Youth Patrick Beverley Swingman Green Nike Jersey: NBA Los Angeles Clippers #21 Salute to Service
In an anticipated move, the Steelers on Wednesday announced they have placed the linebacker on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform List.

Authentic Womens Eric Decker Jersey Despite entering the free-agent signing period with roughly $73 million in salary-cap space, Indianapolis didn’t spend heavy on offensive skill-position players. The most costly additions were tight end Eric Ebron (two years, $15 million) and wide receiver Ryan Grant (one year, $5 million).

Ballard, though, believes the Colts already had talent on the roster and that new coach Frank Reich’s offensive system will lift players across the board. Indianapolis will be using a combination of a hurry-up offense with concepts Reich learned while serving as offensive coordinator for the Super Bowl-champion Eagles.

Everyone thinks you have to have dominant wideouts, Ballard said. It’s great if you do, but you can have dominant (running) backs and two tight ends that play and create some mismatches and problems for the defense. I think you’ll see Frank and Nick (Sirianni, the Colts’ new offensive coordinator) do a lot of that this year.

Austin Czarnik Game Jersey Jones started his NFL career with the Redskins as a third-round pick in 2015 out of Florida. He spent two seasons with Washington before suffering a knee injury and was unable to win back his starting spot. In seven starts and 20 games with the Redskins, Jones had 950 rushing yards with six touchdowns in addition to 377 receiving yards on 27 catches.

Blount was reunited with Matt Patricia for what the running back hopes Authentic Cameron Brate Jersey will be some heavy power and red-zone work in the Lions’ offense. But Johnson is bound to fight for key touches early while he pushes the disappointing Abdullah off the roster.

Packers No. 3 wide receiver: J’Mon Moore vs. Equanimeous St. Brown vs. Geronimo Allison vs. DeAngelo Yancey vs. Marquez Valdes-Scantiling
Projected winner: St. Brown

Although fellow rookies Moore and Valdes-Scantling will push him most, St. Brown, who was a playmaker at Notre Dame, can emerge in training camp as the best option after Davante Adams and Randall Cobb to help replace Jordy Nelson.

Devils sign Russian defenseman Egor Yakovlev Jersey

The New Jersey Devils have signed Russian defenseman Egor Yakovlev to a one-year, entry-level contract.
Men's Authentic Majestic Darwin Barney Green Jersey - #20 MLB Texas Rangers Salute To Service
General manager Ray Shero announced the move Monday.

Yakovlev has spent the past six seasons in the KHL with SKA St. Petersburg and Lokomotiv Yaroslavl. He had five goals and four assists in 35 games this past season with St. Petersburg.

But Morris made a long 3-pointer to stop the scoring drought, and soon hit another to cap an 8-2 run that made it a double-digit lead.

Teams that win Game 5 to take a 3-2 lead in a best-of-seven series win 83 percent of the time. … James had 16 points, four rebounds and three assists at the half. Tatum had 13 points, and Horford had 10 points and seven boards at the break. … Baynes made his first start of the series, subbing for Morris. … It took until midway through the third quarter for a Cavs starter other than James or Love to make a basket. J.R. Smith sank a floater to make it 63-50, and George Hill followed with a jumper of his own. … The Peter Forsberg Jersey Celtics were 10-0 in the playoffs at home in 1986.

Alex Tuch also scored for the Knights. They lost Game 1 in Winnipeg before winning four straight to become the first expansion team since the 1968 St. Louis Blues — when the six initial expansion teams were put alone in the West — to get to the final.

Elite Mens Carl Soderberg Jersey It was their time, Winnipeg captain Blake Wheeler said. They’re just playing really well.

Vegas will meet Tampa Bay or Washington in the final. Tampa Bay leads the Eastern final 3-2, with Game 6 set for Monday night in Washington.

Elite Mens Richard Dent Jersey The Knights, whose jaw-dropping inaugural 109-point campaign included a Pacific Division crown, swept Los Angeles in the first round, and knocked out San Jose in six games in the second.

All those records and everything, it doesn’t mean anything if you’re not the last team standing, Vegas center Jonathan Marchessault said. I think we have a lot of gas left.

Josh Morrissey scored for the Jets, and Connor Hellebuyck made 30 saves.

Addison Russell Jersey stays focused as Machado rumors swirl

The Cubs could take their chances with a Manny Machado trade, but their shortstop is working on delivering a big bounce-back at the plate.
Limited Mitch Unrein Youth Olive Nike Jersey - #98 NFL Chicago Bears 2017 Salute to Service
St. Louis (26-20) didn’t lack for chances on Tuesday night, but simply couldn’t convert. The Cardinals actually outhit Kansas City (15-33) 11-10 but didn’t come up with any hits with men in scoring position. It was a reversal of form from their last four games, when they scored 29 runs.

Mitchell Marner Limited Jersey It was one of those days, St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said. We had guys in scoring position and chances for the big hit, but we couldn’t get the big hit.

Wednesday’s game is the finale of a seven-game homestand in which the Cardinals are presently 3-3. After this one, they head out for a six-game road trip through the Central Division, playing three games each against Pittsburgh and Milwaukee.

Kids Jarome Iginla Jersey That formula netted them a 5-1 win Tuesday night over the St. Louis Cardinals as Alex Gordon and Salvador Perez went deep while Jason Hammel scattered nine hits but gave up just one run, that coming on a fluky double steal, as he won for the first time Jannik Hansen Authentic Jersey in six decisions.

Kansas City will try to replicate that performance in Wednesday’s series finale at Busch Stadium behind its best starter this year, right-hander Jake Junis (5-3, 3.51). He’s coming off a 5-2 win on Friday night over the New York Yankees in Kauffman Stadium.

Junis lasted 5 1/3 innings and 101 pitches in that game, permitting seven hits and two runs with a walk and three strikeouts. Both runs scored after he departed.

I gave up some end-of-the-bat stuff and some hits that you feel should be outs, Junis said to mlb.com. I was making the pitch I wanted to make and they just didn’t fall our way. Fortunately, they didn’t do much damage.

Jalen Ramsey Clowns Bills QB Josh Allen Jersey… Deletes Tweet

It’s only May… and Jalen Ramsey is already trying to get into Josh Allen’s head!
Adidas NHL Men's Dominic Moore Camo Authentic Jersey - #42 Montreal Canadiens Veterans Day Practice
The Jacksonville Jaguars star saw some video of the Buffalo Bills QB taking his first snaps during minicamp… and decided to weigh in Womens James Carpenter Jersey with some friendly trash talk.

That’s a pick waiting to happen, Ramsey posted in a response to the Buffalo Bills tweet.

Elite Womens Ben Bishop Jersey Two years ago, Brantley displayed the power and quickness to shoot gaps, blow up the run or pressure the quarterback. With a full offseason on tap, he’s a prime candidate to fill the vacant 3-technique defensive tackle position.

Based on what the Dallas Cowboys’ young cornerback group showed on the field in the previous year, Jourdan Lewis flashed the most as a breakout candidate for the upcoming season.

As a boundary defender, Lewis mirrored receivers and didn’t allow too many big plays or much cushion for yards after the catch. He may have surrendered some touchdowns along the way, but it’s part of the learning process as a first-year player.

The negotiation period would last 90 days, and Boulton would be required to report back to the city with progress every 30 days.

The move is one of several attempting to bring a variety of entertainment to the Jersey Shore casino town seemingly on the verge of a revival.
Dwayne Washington Elite Jersey
Two resorts, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and Ocean Resort Casino, plan to open there this June.

The baseball stadium first opened as The Sandcastle in 1998 and cost around $15 million to build. It was home to the Atlantic City Surf, which played there through 2009 before folding due to poor attendance.

The empty, 5,500-seat stadium quickly declined, as weather and vandals took their toll. It was renovated and renamed Surf Stadium in 2012 and hosted a Little League tournament, but a professional team has yet to call the ballpark home.

Philadelphia Eagles signing veteran RB Matt Jones Jersey

Matt Jones will join the Super Bowl champions.
Nike Men's Andy Lee Elite Red Home Jersey - Arizona Cardinals NFL #2 Vapor Untouchable
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that the running back is signing with the Philadelphia Eagles on Wednesday.

The Miami Dolphins claimed quarterback Bryce Petty a day after he was waived by the New York Jets. With Miami’s move Friday, Petty joins veterans Brock Osweiler and David Fales in the competition for the Chris Baker Authentic Jersey backup job behind Ryan Tannehill.

Petty spent three seasons with New York after being selected in the fourth round of the 2015 draft. He played in 10 games for the Jets, throwing for 1,353 yards and four touchdowns with 10 interceptions, and went 1-6 as a starter.

… The Panthers announced that defensive backs coach Curtis Fuller resigned following an investigation into complaints of inappropriate conduct.

… The Bills hired Dan Morgan to take over as their player personnel director.

Elite Kids Kenny Clark Jersey It’s a sad reality of the football business. Players suffer season-ending injuries every summer, whether it be in OTAs, training camp or during the preseason. If you get to Week 1 without any significant losses, it is a major blessing. Some notable examples in the last few years:
Elite Kids Cameron Sutton Jersey
The most intriguing case will be Jadeveon Clowney. The Texans list him as a defensive end聽鈥?he’d surely seek that tag figure next year if his contract expires聽鈥?but Clowney frequently toggles to outside linebacker in a hybrid front. He only has 20 sacks in four seasons, but the 6-5, 270-pounder’s unique combination of skills聽鈥?he can rush the passer, set an edge and stop the run聽鈥?and potential to further improve could allow him to approach Miller money at a time when the salary cap continues to substantially expand.

He has vigorously challenged the test results through the arbitration process. The arbitrator’s Opinion is due on or before Wednesday, May 16. Upon having the opportunity to review the arbitrator’s opinion, we will explore what further options are needed.

Report: Chandler Catanzaro Jersey prefers being warm

Most reasonable people, given a choice between more money and less money, or good weather or bad weather, will choose the thing that offers more comfort.
Women's Tampa Bay Lightning #88 Andrei Vasilevskiy Adidas Ash Backer T-Shirt NHL Jersey
In some quarters, that is construed as a pejorative.

According to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, former Jets kicker Chandler Catanzaro is apparently somehow soft because he preferred a warm-weather destination in free agency.

Catanzaro grew up in South Carolina, and spent his first three years playing in Arizona. Where it’s, you know, warm. This offseason, he signed with the Buccaneers, where he gets to enjoy pleasant weather and the absence of state income taxes. And also, not playing for the Jets.

Some commentators have said it was clear from the start that the commission would not address paying college athletes, as that was not its charge. However, Rice stated after the Chad Henne Womens Jersey recommendations were released that the commission could have addressed the issue if it had chosen to do so.

Limited Youth Mark Barberio Jersey Clearly the commission should have addressed players’ rights to monetize their name, image and likeness. The commission was making recommendations. There was no legitimate reason to punt on NIL issues.

The O’Bannon case provided the legal parameters necessary to make an informed judgment. Even if the commission were to recommend allowing NIL rights, that would not carry the day in pending litigation any more than my recommendation on a radio show would.

Oakland was the best opportunity. Jon Gruden was a big pull, Johnson said, via the San Jose Mercury News. Me coming here and visiting and talking to the coaching staff, it just went off well. Oakland had the best plan for me at my age that I’m at now.

Limited Youth Luc Robitaille Jersey Johnson didn’t disclose specifics of the plan the Raiders pitched to him, but he did say that he likes defensive coordinator Paul Guenther’s scheme because it is built for linebackers to make plays. In addition to Johnson, the Raiders brought in Tahir Whitehead, Emmanuel Lamur and Kyle Wilbur to make those plays and the coming months will determine how often each of them is on the field to make them.

There is already a group dedicated to examining rules involving transfers. Apparently that is not a deterrent to the commission rendering its judgment as it was in the case of name, image and likeness.
