Belichick isn’t the only one who gets anxious ahead of Week 1. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said he “absolutely” wakes up with the proverbial butterflies in his stomach on game day.

“I think everybody does,” Brady said Monday. “Everyone works hard and it’s very unpredictable. You never know what’s going to happen.

“We, as players, feel like that, too. We’re prepared, we’re confident, but you’ve still got to go out there and do it, and you’ve got to do it against a team that you’ve studied but not much this year. You know they’re working on stuff, we’re working on stuff, we try to execute at a high level and they do, too. Yeah, there will definitely be nerves and being anxious, but that’s part of football. And, once you get out there and start going, those things calm down.”

According to the Star-Telegram, Elliott and the NFLPA are aware of Roberts’ situation and plan to exploit it if they have to go to federal court.

They called the NFL’s investigation “replete with factual inaccuracies and erroneous conclusions.”

Goodell appointed Harold Henderson, a former league executive who has heard many cases involving the NFL’s personal conduct policy, to hear the Elliott appeal. Henderson has the final say on whether to uphold the six-game suspension for Elliott.

Six rushes for 18 yards for Adrian Peterson, seven for 17 for Alvin Kamara Cheap Goalie Jerseys Soccer and six for 18 for Mark Ingram in Monday night’s loss. Possible overreaction: No single Cheap High Quality Soccer Jerseys running back stepped up for a New Orleans team that wanted to emphasize the run in 2017, and if no one does going forward, it could be another losing season for the Saints.

The Eagles couldn’t have asked for much more from Wentz at the start of his second season.

It helped Wentz throw for 307 yards, and it helped him convert third-and-long situations on three of the Eagles’ five offensive scoring drives. The Agholor touchdown was on third-and-12. He was comfortable enough throwing 39 times, and he was sacked just twice.

The Eagles couldn’t have asked for much more from Wentz at the start of his second season. He has a different group of receivers now — in came Alshon Jeffery and Torrey Smith, out went Jordan Matthews, and Agholor got vastly more consistent. Most of them made his life easier Sunday.

But Wentz made their lives easier, too, by using his legs to keep plays alive. He noted that it had the desired effect on his own team’s defense during OTAs and training camp, and he knew it would do that when the games counted.

Still, the Chargers brought many of their woes on themselves, falling into such a big hole, making Trevor Siemien look like a decent John Elway knockoff at times, committing some unconscionable turnovers, and then mismanaging the clock on the drive that led to the field-goal try.

Britt has been a bit of an enigma since he joined the Browns as a free agent. After the team could not retain Terrelle Pryor, it turned to Britt as his replacement, signing him to a four-year, $32.5 million deal, according to ESPN’s Roster Management System. It was a lucrative deal for a guy who had one 1,000-yard season in his career, which came in his eighth season.

In the preseason, Britt had three receptions for 25 yards, with one drop on a Cheap Jerseys Baseball perfect third-down throw from Kizer and a missed touchdown on a throw from Brock Osweiler, on which he could Cheap Embroidered NFL Jerseys not get his feet down in the end zone.

Chicago has the ball on the New York 49-yard line down by 6 points.

This time last year, the Bovada sportsbook listed the Atlanta Falcons and New York Jets with identical odds of winning the Super Bowl. After removing the sportsbook’s vig, both the Falcons and Jets were given a 1.2 percent chance of winning Super Bowl LI. By the end of the year, the 5-11 Jets were in disarray and rebuilding, while the 11-5 Falcons came within a poorly timed holding penalty and a circus catch of winning their first Super Bowl.

The author and Collins also discussed specific plays from the safety’s breakout 2016 season. In an ESPN.com exclusive, here’s the discussion, along with video of each play.

The situation: Chicago has the ball on the New York 49-yard line down by 6 points. With the Giants protecting a fourth-quarter lead, the defense drops to a Cover 2 alignment. This allows Collins to gain depth, open his hips to the wide receiver and be in a position to play “top down” on the throw. Here, Collins can play the deep fade route, comeback or dig. And even though this is a poor throw from Jay Cutler, Collins plays the situation and leans on his technique and coaching to finish this play.

It’s definitely because of Alabama. We worked Cheap Heat Jerseys our technique all the time. We have Odell [Beckham Jr.], Sterling [Shepard], and Eli [Manning], he likes to throw deep. But this week with Cutler and where he likes to throw the ball, I just try to stay high. I always like to stay 4×4 just in case the Cheap Ireland Football Jerseys wide receiver makes that deep cut, inside dig or a 9, I can stay 4×4 and get into the wide receiver quickly as the ball travels towards us.

Hardaway stepped into a starting role and performed well

The Knicks tendered a four-year, $71 million offer sheet to Tim Hardaway, Jr. when they traded him two seasons ago to the Hawks for Jerian Grant.

Hardaway was drafted with the No. 24 pick in 2013, which was a reasonable place for him to go as a potential sharpshooting, athletic wing. He fell out of favor in New York during Phil Jackson’s tenure before he was traded, despite being just 22 years old.

After Kyle Korver was traded to Cleveland from Atlanta, Hardaway stepped into a starting role and performed well. He averaged 17.5 points per game and had a 111 offensive rating in Korver’s place. He earned himself a huge payday from his time.

It’s hard to decide who’s a real winner or loser in Toronto, who re-signed Serge Ibaka and Kyle Lowry on Sunday in an effort to bring the gang back. On one hand, the Eastern Conference keeps getting weaker and weaker. On the other, none of the top four teams — Cleveland, Boston, and Washington — got worse, and the Raptors couldn’t get past the second round last year. Why would this coming season be any different?

But Lowry (who signed for three years and $100 million) and Ibaka (three years, $65 million) both are clients of agent Andy Miller, so he must be a winner for orchestrating $165 million headed to a couple of his players.

Part of the reason is that this was a particularly down season for centers — Nerlens Noel and Pau Gasol were the top options on the market entering July. A second reason the collective centers’ payday has been so pitiful is that the top options (including Noel and Gasol) have yet to sign contracts. By my assessment, only Cheap Official Jerseys eight of the top 50 free agents were centers. Of those, only Cheap Patriots Jerseys three — Kelly Olynyk, Dewayne Dedmon, and Nene — have signed deals.

Behind the slow processing of the centers this summer is the truth of the matter: Centers really don’t matter that much any more. The position has been de-emphasized in the modern NBA.

College football will never be as predictable as the NBA.

The NBA tends to have predictable results because it is a high-scoring game with only five players on the court, limited substitutions for the best players, and seven-game series that reduce the possibility of upsets. Michael Mauboussin, take it away:

The regular season is short, and the playoff is small, so one bad game can be fatal.

Ohio State might have had the best team in 2015, but one instance of a poor game plan in bad weather conditions cost the Buckeyes even a shot at defending their title.

The Warriors could get away with a stinker in Game 4 against the Cavs this year,, because a seven-game series affords that luxury. Ditto for the Cavs’ casual approach to the regular season.

College football is more exciting in the sense that teams do not get the slack that pro teams have, but the flip side is that it is harder for teams to dominate.

That allowed him to justify giving this another shot. He’s never had back problems. He never was forced out of the game by father time dealing him a career-ending injury. He had just taken an 18-year break.

So Roberts began to train harder. He changed his work schedule at Sam’s Club to the night shift so he could use the gym more frequently during the day for wind sprints and weight training. He started by strengthening muscles he felt he’d use in games, and then augmented them by beefing up the muscles that supported them. Roberts said he never got “chubby” after he retired, but suddenly his skinny frame began to fill out with rippling muscle.

Today, Roberts hardly looks like an average 61-year-old. He Cheap Mitchell And Ness Jerseys has a torso like a tree trunk and the bulging biceps of a man 30 Cheap Lebron Jerseys years younger.

“I hadn’t seen him in about a year when he told me,” Natalia Roberts told SB Nation. “And then he came to visit me not long after and he was ripped.”

Dion Waiters has a team. We can all go home now

Once the Gordon Hayward domino fell, NBA free agent moves began clicking into place. On Wednesday one of the runner-up teams for Hayward — the Miami Heat — reacted by locking up The Dion Waiters to a 4-year, $52 million deal. Waiters bet on himself that summer by taking a short deal to prove his worth (despite the insane money being thrown around in 2016). It paid off big time. Miami is also reportedly close to a deal with James Johnson.

The busy Thunder finished their work by locking up Andre Roberson on a 3-year, $30 million deal, yet another bargain for an elite wing defender (albeit one who cannot shoot a lick). OKC’s shooting problems will be real, but this might be a top-5 defensive club this season. That plus Russell Westbrook is dangerous.

Now we’re cooking — this is some real high-octane action movie stuff. Just look how he zooms down the freeway (obeying speed limits) while doing whatever it takes to get to his destination (while following all traffic regulations). And you can’t hear it here, but the tasteful Leon Bridges soundtrack gives the scene an artful touch.

Now this is where Griffin’s directorial wizardry comes into play — just look at this gorgeous, film noir-style black-and-white shot of his vehicle of choice. Like his play style on the court, Griffin’s cinematography is both powerful and pristine.

“On the moon I milly rock,” Blake Griffin seems to be saying with this extremely strange scene, one that, while visually stimulating, creates an atmosphere of uncertainty and amazement. Where did he even get this astronaut Cheap Jerseys Zoom costume — or is he really in space?

What does it all mean? I don’t posture to know — but what Cheap Kids NBA Jerseys I do know is that after basketball, Blake Griffen has a promising career in film.

Tyreke Evans, Grizzlies agree to 1-year, $3.3 million deal, per report

After playing out last season with the Sacramento Kings, Tyreke Evans signed a one-year, $3.3 million deal with the Memphis Grizzlies, according to a report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Evans was traded to the Kings last year from New Orleans in the deal for DeMarcus Cousins during the All-Star break.

Evans averaged 10.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists throughout 40 games last season. He struggled with health and consistency but was a reliable secondary ball-handler in Sacramento and New Orleans.

The Warriors signed Durant last summer, adding to a team that had just won a record 73 regular season games en route to the NBA Finals. The four-time scoring champion became the linchpin of their efforts on both ends of the court, winning Finals MVP on one of the most efficient scoring performances in NBA history to deliver Cheap Jerseys Soccer China Golden State its second championship in three seasons.

Golden State already made sure to take care of Curry, inking Cheap Jerseys Online Wholesale its star point guard to a five-year “supermax” deal worth $201 million. But there was concern other teams could pry some of the Warriors’ supporting cast away.

Andre Iguodala was listening to offers from San Antonio and Philadelphia, and Shaun Livingston could have been targeted after coming off the bench in yet another championship system. But because Durant agreed to take less money, Golden State ownership can avoid a hefty luxury tax bill.

The Warriors eventually signed Livingston to a three-year, $24 million deal, then brought back Iguodala on a three-year, $48 million pact. With Draymond Green and Klay Thompson locked into contracts for the next two seasons, the reigning champs could become usual suspects in the Finals for the foreseeable future.

Like with the Cubs and Dodgers, Darvish to the Yankees sounds more enticing than it is

If the Yankees think Darvish is the missing piece for a team that’s definitely already going to make the postseason, the one that they can throw out in the Wild Card round if necessary who can also be leaned on heavily in subsequent series, that’s one thing. If Brian Cashman and Co. have any concerns about making it to October in the first place, though, Darvish might be too rich for their particular tastes — especially when they could give 2017 a go with this roster, then sign Darvish over the winter without giving up any of their prospects.

Like with the Cubs and Dodgers, Darvish to the Yankees sounds more enticing than it is. There’s a low probability of this happening, given Cashman isn’t the future-mortgaging type and it’s still very unclear if the Rangers are going to move Darvish at all. Let’s give this one a C-.

Since then, two more Canucks, Anton Rodin and Ben Hutton, have presented symptoms, as has a team trainer.

According to the CDC, the average incubation period for mumps is 16 to 18 days, with a range of 12 to 25 days. The Wild played at Vancouver on Feb. 4.

A mumps outbreak in 2014 affected more than a dozen NHL players including Penguins star Sidney Crosby on five teams, as well as two referees. And the Wild were the NFL Jerseys From China hardest hit, with several players affected, including defensemen Ryan Suter, Marco Scandella, Jonas Brodin, Christian Folin and Keith Ballard.

One theory at the time: the hard hits and checks that fans love send spittle Wholesale NFL Jerseys Supply flying, a perfect scenario for spreading mumps and other contagious illnesses.

According to the CDC, mumps “spreads through saliva or mucus from the mouth, nose, or throat. An infected person can spread the virus by coughing, sneezing or talking; sharing items, or touching objects touched by others.” Players also share water bottles on a regular basis.

Mumps causes swollen and tender glands, and other symptoms can include fever, fatigue, headaches and other symptoms.

LSU’s pitcher bounced a pitch 10 feet in front of the plate

If LSU and Florida state can top the level of crazy they displayed on Saturday night, that’d be a remarkable feat of human will. FSU committed three errors ON THE SAME PLAY to lose, 5-4, and Wednesday’s rematch is showing trickles of the same.

Well, there’s no shortage of college baseball weirdness in Omaha on Wednesday, and LSU’s starter Jared Poche is here to continue the funhouse show. How about a big bad pitch straight into the infield grass of TD Ameritrade Park? You got it.

So, that one bounces around 10 feet in front of the plate and still makes the strike zone. Whatever the case, Poche forced a pop up to center to end the at-bat, then retired the next two batters he saw and got the hell out of there. He’s still dealing, and the ‘Noles are having trouble moving men around the base paths.

There’s still plenty of time for this one to go off the rails.

Spectacular. Hilarious. LSU would eventually eliminate the ‘Noles to advance to the final series with Florida, but not before FSU totally screwed themselves in the rematch a few days later.

Specifically, LSU shortstop Kramer Robertson experienced the world’s worst brainfart once the final series commenced. He was a .413 hitter on the season, but his bat fell totally asleep Cheap NFL Jerseys China after the bracket round began. But that’s the worst of it. For some reason his fielding took a nosedive as well.

He started off a horribly blunder-filled game in a bad 13-1 loss to Wholesale Jerseys Usa Oregon State, for instance.

If Reds’ Zack Cozart becomes an All-Star, Joey Votto will buy him a donkey

If Zack Cozart gets selected to the National League All-Star team, it will mean two things: He’s one of the league’s favorite shortstops … and he’ll get a donkey.

Yes, you read that correctly — a donkey. That’s what Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto said he would buy his teammate Cozart if he makes the All-Star Team. Apparently, Cozart is a fan of the animal and, knowing this, Votto went out of his way to raise the stakes:

“I don’t know why I like donkeys so much; maybe because they look like they’re real chill,” Cozart said.

But Votto didn’t just stop with the promise of getting Cozart a donkey — he pulled out all stops, even dressing up like an ass on TV to show his dedication to the cause:

This will be the third Home Run Derby for Stanton, who also participated in 2014.

Stanton has long been one of baseball’s most feared power hitters, launching some of the longest and hardest-hit home runs in the game. The three-time All-Star averaged 31 home runs per season from 2011-16, and this season is hitting .274/.357/.551. He hit his 20th home run on Sunday against the Cubs.

The rest of the Home Run Derby field will be announced in the next week or two, and is expected to include young sluggers Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees and Cody Bellinger of Cheap NFL Jerseys USA the Los Angeles Dodgers, who lead their respective leagues in home runs as rookies.

The Home Run Derby will take place at Marlins Park on Monday, July 10, and will be televised by ESPN.

One can only hope that the massive home run structure in center Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping field at Marlins Park will get a nice workout during the event.
