"We'll mix and match," Reid said of how he'll blend a combination of starters and reserves in a regular-season finale that will have no bearing on the Chiefs' No.5 seed in the upcoming NFL playoffs."I'm going to work some guys in," Reid said. "Most of them have already worked in. . . . I talked to the team, and I will have it figured out by the end of the week exactly how I'm going to work it."Translated, that means the Chiefs,nike shox shoes 11-4, likely will approach this game against San Diego, 8-7, much like Reid did four times in Philadelphia when his Eagles' teams were locked into playoff positions going into a final week, the same way most teams approach a final preseason game.He'll give the starters a series or two and then go to the backups. Unlike in the preseason, a team with 53 players on the active roster can't rest everyone. But don't expect to see much of quarterback Alex Smith, running back Jamaal Charles or outside linebacker Tamba Hali, who did not practice Tuesday because of a swollen knee.Smith, who has started all 15 games in his first season with the Chiefs, said he was preparing to play.Isuzu Auto Parts"If you play, the argument is you're staying in rhythm, you're keeping your timing, you're staying used to the speed of the game," Smith said. "The negative is an injury."By not playing, the benefit there is you're getting healthy and fresh. The downside is you're missing out on some game experience and rhythm and maybe some momentum heading into the playoffs." 

If Smith gives way to backup Chase Daniel early in the game, it will be the most meaningful playing time Daniel will have had in his five-year NFL career. Daniel attempted nine passes in his four seasons in New Orleans, and he mopped up fourth quarters in victories over Washington and Oakland with the Chiefs."Anytime you can get on the field as a backup when your starter is not hurt is a good thing," Daniel said. "It means your team is in a pretty good spot. I was doing everything I could to take advantage of it."My mind-set going in this week is to prepare like the starter, just like I have my entire career and see what happens later in the week.Wholesale Lingerie Sexy Lingerie"Daniel may be handing off the ball to rookie running back Knile Davis and throwing to Junior Hemingway and seldom-used A.J. Jenkins, but it doesn't make this game meaningless."It's definitely meaningful to this team," Daniel said. "We want to end the season on a high note. We want to end it with a win, especially with how we came out and played pretty sloppy against the Colts. We still have a bad taste in our mouth right now."It's a meaningful game to everyone in this locker room, every coach on the staff. To the Hunts, to everyone who is part of the Chiefs organization,canada goose jacket women it's a meaningful game."The backup players understand what's at stake for their careers."I'm excited for the opportunity," said Jenkins, who had just four offensive snaps against Indianapolis. "Every time we step onto the field, we're being evaluated, regardless whether it's one play or 80 plays. You have to have the mind-set the guys who play a lot have. It will feel good to be out there."Backup linebackers Frank Zombo and Dezmon Moses should be busy as well. Zombo, who has been Lululemon Women's Pantsfilling in for the injured Justin Houston, could slide over in place of Hali. And Dezmon Moses, strictly a special-teams player this season, could get some snaps on defense in place of Houston, if he's still not available to start or not fit enough to play an entire game after missing four games.

By the time the dramatic events of college football’s Championship Saturday determined which two teams would play for the national title, these were the only words to explain what happened.canada goose jacket womenOn that 15th Saturday of the 2013 college football season, it took two wins and one loss to send Florida State and Auburn to the BCS National CWholesale Lingerie Sexy Lingeriehampionship Game to played at the Rose Bowl on Jan. 6, 2014.Lululemon Women's PantsWhen the votes were counted for The Associated Press' preseason Top 25 college football poll,nike shox shoes there were 43 teams that had been named on the ballots of the 60 sports writers and broadcasters who contributed. Two-time defending national champion Alabama received 55 first-place votes and led all teams in overall points. Bringing up the rear of the "Also Receiving Votes" list accompanying the Top 25 teams, was Brigham Young.With their one mention, BYU had received precisely one more vote of confidence than Gus Malzahn's Auburn squad. Despite what would follow, this was no injustice. Malzahn was replacing former coach Gene Chizik after the team had stumbled to a 3-9 record in 2012. The Seminoles were rated much higher than the Tigers by the AP voters (as well as those contributing to the USA Today Poll and the ESPN.com Power Rankings) before the season kicked off. Still, they were only designated as the No. 11 team in the nation at the time. 

Four months later, No. 2 Auburn is preparing to play for the national championship against No. 1 FlIsuzu Auto Partsorida State. In part because ... War. Damn. Spartans.For these two teams to climb over every other in the AP poll and eventually the BCS standings over the course of the 2013 campaign required impressive performances in their own games but also fortuitous results week after week, from coast to coast. Of the 10 teams ranked ahead of them at the start of the season, the Noles only had the chance to defeat two (Florida and Clemson). By virtue of playing in the loaded SEC, Auburn had the chance to face four teams ranked in that initial poll en route to the BCS title game. It took two miracles but the Tigers were able to win three of those four games (Texas A&M, Georgia, Alabama). That still left a pair of powerhouse Pac-12 teams capable of reaching the big game in Pasadena, that Big Ten squad riding an epic unbeaten streak and the handful of other title aspirants hoping a flawless season would win them the hearts of voters and the processors of the computers when it came time to name the combatants in the final championship game of the BCS era. Over 15 weeks of football on campuses from Palo Alto to Louisville, the remaining contenders faltered as Jameis Winston steamrolled the ACC and Auburn found new ways to surprise the SEC.

For the Knicks (9-18), there can be no joy without grief. There can be no victory without struggle. And they cannot play 48 minutes without someone twisting an ankle, straining a hamstring or damaging some other appendage.They are huge consumers of medical tape. It is a habit they cannot shake.It has been a frustrating season for Anthony in particular. Because of the team’s poor play and an evaporating depth chart, Coach Mike Woodson has leaned on him to play heavy minutes — the most per game in the league and the most of his career.Even before Anthony sprained his left ankle against the Magic, which cast some doubt over his availability for Wednesday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder (22-5) at Madison Square Garden,paper straws wholesale Woodson acknowledged that the situation was far from ideal. Anthony’s game is based on absorbing contact from defenders, and creating a fair share of his own, so he tends to relish what little time he gets to recuperate on the bench.But Woodson has been coaching the team with increasing desperation, to save the Knicks’ season and perhaps his own job. Consider Tyson Chandler,Long Sleeve T-Shirts who played 37 minutes last week against the Milwaukee Bucks in his return after missing six weeks with a fractured right leg. Woodson said he had “no choice.” So Chandler played and played, until he finally began having cramps in overtime. Anthony played 55 minutes in that game.On Monday, Anthony sprained his ankle while battling for a rebound with the Magic’s Tobias Harris.He attempted to walk it off on the sideline before determining that he was in too much pain, a rare admission for him. He retreated to the locker room after a season-low 24 minutes, and watched bits and pieces of the Knicks’ 103-98 victory on television as he iced his ankle and kept it elevated.“I’m walking,” Anthony said in response to a question about whether he was in serious discomfort. 

The Knicks said Anthony’s availability on Wednesday would be a game-time decision, which was widely interpreted as good news. Anthony indicated that he hoped to play.“I don’t want to miss that game,” he said. “It’s Christmas in the Garden.”In an interview Tuesday on ESPN Radio, Woodson said Anthony had received treatment at the team’s training facility in Greenburgh, N.Y. Woodson said Anthony would be reassessed on Wednesday morning after another round of treatment. “We’ve got to weigh it out,” Woodson said.One Knick who will not play is Raymond Felton, who returned to the lineup against the Magic after missing six games with a hamstring injury and proceeded to strain his right groin in the fourth quarter. The Knicks said Felton would meet with the team’s training staff on Wednesday to decide on a timetable for his return.Anthony has become close to indispensable for the Knicks. He might be addicted to isolation sets, but he is averaging 26.3 points and shooting 44.7 percent while facing waves of defenders. He is also averaging 8.8 rebounds in 39.4 minutes per game,cnbattachment both career highs.There was always the danger that Anthony’s heavy workload might cost him. Injuries are sometimes the product of fatigue. Pablo Prigioni, 36, broke his toe last week when he tripped running upcourt against the Washington Wizards after he had averaged 34 minutes in the previous three games — a significant increase in his playing time in the absence of Felton.Now both players are sidelined.“We’ve been an injury-prone team,” J.wholesale Dsquared Long Sleeve T-Shirts sale from www.alipaytrade.com homepage. R. Smith said. “But we’ve always had guys who step in and fill those roles, and that’s what’s going to have to keep happening.”If Anthony misses Wednesday’s game, it would most likely mean more shot attempts for Smith and Andrea Bargnani, who was on the bench when the Knicks built a huge early lead against the Magic. He returned to hit a pair of key jumpers, an encouraging sign for a player whose contributions have been questionable.wholesale cheap Coach Grade AAA Sunglasses from www.alipaytrade.com homepage.When Anthony sprained his left ankle last season, he missed just two games — and he said that sprain was more severe.

"Simply put, this was a bad act with a bad result, and neither will be tolerated in our game," Bettman wrote in his appeal. "I note that Mr. Thornton has a reputation for being a 'good actor' and a model NHL citizen, but that does not eliminate the need for him to be punished appropriately for his bad act in this case."Thornton and the union could next decide to take the case to a neutral arbitrator, which has never happened before and is certainly possible.That failure to "acknowledge an obvious motivation (if not the only obvious motivation) for his conduct is an aggravating circumstance," Bettman wrote, and factored into the 15-game decision."That is not a credible explanation," Bettan wrote. "Moreover, it is inconsistent with the testimony that Mr. Thornton provided at the December 20 hearing, where he acknowledged that he identified Mr. Orpik before he crossed the Pittsburgh blue line. Clearly by the time he had identified him, Mr. Thornton was targeting Mr. Orpik and the aggressiveness of his actions (during an otherwise uneventful scrum) has to be viewed in the light of events that had occurred earlier in the same period, namely the check that Mr. Orpik delivered to (Loui) Eriksson and Mr. Orpik’s subsequent refusal to fight Mr.Our store can offer buy Dsquared Long Sleeve T-Shirts, welcome choose! Thornton.paper honeycomb""Interestingly (and disturbingly),honeycomb paper balls Mr.Buy High quality Coach Grade Sunglasses, Custom Fit Stripe Shirt and more. Thornton testified at the hearing that he knew exactly what he was doing and that he was in complete control of his emotions," Bettman wrote. 

The union didn't debate that Thornton's actions were "harmful" or "wrong," but believed that Thornton's clean record combined with shorter suspensions for comparable hits should've led to a 10-12 game suspension.Those are at least understandable arguments, though Bettman obviously disagreed. The other point, though, was a weird one: "(Brendan) Shanahan erred in concluding that Mr. Thornton’s actions were premeditated and that they were not part of a 'hockey play.'"If a slewfoot/double face-punch combo several seconds after the whistle is a "hockey play,cnbattachment" the sport is in trouble."(The) protection of Players’ heads has been a matter of intense and increased attention over the course of several years. A Player who today blatantly flouts the rules in a manner that causes a head injury can and should expect to be severely disciplined," Bettman wrote.That might as well have been footnoted "we're taking concussions seriously" and set directly to whichever court winds up hearing the class-action case filed earlier this month by ex-players who are arguing just the opposite.

Florida and Memphis waged a slugfest on the floor of the Garden Tuesday night and it wouldn’t be a surprise if one or the other makes it back when the NCAA East Regional comes to town. Both appear good enough to be playing that deep into March.The 16th-ranked Gators managed to eke out a 77-75 Jimmy V Classic win before 8,062 when Dorian Finney-Smith managed to deflect Joe Jackson’s drive for a layup in the final seconds. The ball bounced out to midcourt and by the time Memphis’ Michael Dixon Jr. tracked it down at midcourt, he could only get off a wild heave.The Gators (8-2) left the door open for the Tigers (7-2) by missing the front end on a pair of one-and-ones in the final minute but got the defensive play they needed at the end. “I got a piece of the shot,” Finney-Smith said.Senior Casey Prather had 22 points, including the last eight for Florida. Finney-smith had 14 points, Scottie Wilbekin and Michael Frazier each added 11, and Patric Young had 8 points and 8 rebounds for the Gators, who emerged from a gauntlet of three straight ranked opponents with a pair of wins; they lost at then-No. 12 UConn before beating then No. 3 Kansas and the Tigers.Paper Tissue Honeycomb Balls 

“These games have helped us get better," said Florida coach Billy Donovan. "I think every game is an opportunity to learn and grow and get better. It's still very early.”Prather said “the ball just happened to find me - it could have been any of my teammates,” and the scary thing may be the kernel of truth. Welbekin is catching up because he recently returned from a suspension. Kasey Hill missed four games with an ankle injury. Chris Walker – a 6-10 freshman projected to become a first-round NBA draft pick – is enrolled and has begun practicing after issues with his academics were resolved. He still hasn’t played.Donovan said “people think he’s going to be a savior” but cautioned that outlook because he is so far behind the rest of the team. Of course, by March he may be caught up.Jackson had 17 points, Geron Johnson 13 points, and Chris Crawford and David Pellom 12 points each for Memphis.

Guangzhou Evergrande, the first-ever Chinese soccer side representing Asia in the Club World Cup, are looking for the one precent opportunity to upset German Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich in the semifinal here on Tuesday."We're going to play against one of the best teams in the world. When you take on a team like this, out of 100 matches you lose 99 but you can win one and I hope that will be the next one. You never know," said Evergrande's Italian world famous coach Marcello Lippi at the pre-match press conference.party supplies paper strawsThe Chinese and Asian champions beat African champions Al Ahly from Egypt 2-0 in Saturday's quarterfinal, thanks to the brilliant performance of their foreign trio up front - Brazilian strikers Elkson and Muriqui, together with Argentine playmaker Dario Conca.Elkson opened scoring just after the interval, and Conca sealed the win later following a sharp breakthrough by Muriqui, who became the most prolific scorer in the AFC Champions League history with 13 gaols in this year's edition and the AFC Foreign Player of the Year.Besides the invincible foreign trio in Asia, Evergrande's chance comes from Lippi, the first manager in history to win both the UEFA Champions League (with Juventus in 1996), and the Asian equivalent (with Evergrande this year).Lippi is no stranger to playing against big teams and his experience combined with heavy financial backing have been key to Evergrande's sharp rise in recent years.Evergrande's second half myth has turned many games into a great happy ending, besides the last one with Al Ahly.Evergrande's performance in the second half was obviously better than that in the first half, which should largely be attributed to Lippi's decisions on substituting players and changing formations. 

However, calculating on both sides' players, the whole team of Bayern is worth 484.7 million euros while Evergrande worth only 20.975 million euros.tissue paper pom pom wholesaleBayern are unbeaten in 41 Bundesliga games and have extended their domestic winning streak to eight successive matches after crushing Hanburg 3-1 in Saturday's league game.Bayern, also the debutants of the Club World Cup, received a bye to thForklift forkse semifinal and are bidding for their fifth trophy of the year 2013.Having lifted the UEFA Champions League, Bundesliga, German FA Cup and UEFA Super Cup, star-studded Bayern at the helm of Pep Guardiola vow to be on top podium in North Africa to cap off a remarkable year.Guardiola himself took the tournament's title in 2009 and 2011 with his former club Barcelona.

He also mentioned Gao Lin, Zheng Zhi and the three foreign players of his opponents.Bayern's Jerome Boateng and Toni Kroos, who also attended the press conference, said that except Lippi, they knew nothing about the Chinese club, which they had never played before.For Chinese media and fans, the match itself brings excitement, despite any results."If we talk about a Chinese club playing with Bayern Munich in semifinal one year ago, we must be joking,party paper straws but now it's true.

After building a 3-0 lead against the tired and injury-riddled St. Louis Blues Tuesday night, the San Jose Sharks let them back in the game late in the second period.That prompted a wake-up message from coach Todd McLellan before the start of the third period."We let the momentum get away from us," McLellan said. "We caused it ourselves more than anything. We have to learn from that. We needed to take advantage of a team that was tired and beat up and we did that tonight."The Sharks received the message and got a third-period goal from right winger Marty Havlat to put an end to the Blues comeback and complete a 4-2 victory.The Sharks took the early lead on first-period goals by center Joe Pavelski and defenseman Matt Irwin, followed by a goal by right winger Brent Burns in the second period."We regrouped and played great in the third," Havlat said. "We kind of stopped playing after it was 3-0 and thought maybe the game was over. The wakeup call at the intermission was maybe a little bit louder than usual."The Sharks expected to have an advantage over the Blues, who did not arrive in St. Louis until about 2 a.m. Tuesday morning after playing Monday night in Ottawa and were without three of their top six forwards because of injuries. The Sharks had not played since Saturday night.That paper drinking straws wholesaleshowed early, as the Sharks consistently won the battles for loose pucks and Pavelski and Irwin both took advantage of bounces off the end boards for their goals.The poor first period for the Blues continued a trend against the Sharks this season. In three games, all victories, the Sharks have outscored the Blues 8-0 in the first period. The Sharks held the Blues to only four shots on goal in taking the 2-0 lead after the opening period Tuesday. 

"Every game has been different,Authentic Replica lv monogram vernis handbags it's really good to get three wins," McLellan said. "Tonight I don't think was indicative of what could happen if we meet down the road in the playoffs. They're going to have a different lineup and be a lot fresher but you have four or five of these games a year and you have to take advantage of it."The Blues, in the opinion of coach Ken Hitchcock, had too many games like Tuesday night where they got off to a poor start -- not just the three games against San Jose."It's something we're going to have to address," Hitchcock said. "We've had too many of these starts like this -- not engaged quickly enough. Some we got away with and some we didn't. Obviously there's a preparation problem. We're giving up too many scoring chances. We're not going to win games giving up this many goals."It's not one group, it's not one player, it's collective. It's not defense, it's not goaltending, it's not the forwards. It's everybody. This is a total team thing that we can fix."Goalie Jaroslav Halak struggled in the first period of his recent starts. In his last five games, he surrendered 10 goals in the opening period and only four combined in the second and third periods."It seems like every time we go to the second period we are down and it's hard to come back every game," Halak said. "We have to play better in the first period. It starts with me.Custom MasterYi cute design pure cotton hoody with a zipper"The Blues finally came to life late in the second period. Defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk scored on a slap shot from the point at 15:31 and with only 25 seconds left in the period defenseman Jay Bouwmeester cut the lead to 3-2 when his slap shot got past Sharks goalie Antti Niemi, who appeared to be screened on the play."They were depleted tonight," Pavelski said. "We haven't always taken advantage of that this year.Abercrombie Men's Fleece-AF50203 We knew they wouldn't lay down. They came with a hard push in the second and we responded in the third.Custom Ezreal fashion design pure cotton hoody with a zipper Guys weren't happy the way we ended the second period."The win was only the second in their last six games for the Sharks, who had lost three consecutive games on the road.
