| TSNs Jack Armstrong offers his thoughts on the unfortunate injury of Eric Bledsoe, the growth of Gordon Hayward, the future of LaMarcus Aldridge, David Lees rebounding ability and the suspension of Andre Miller. 1. ERIC BLEDSOE (Suns): What a shame. Another injury to a very good player. Hes played terrific ball for his team this year and the idea of playing two point guards together along with Goran Dragic worked out beautifully for their team. Tough road ahead for this squad without him. Hes the guy that sets the tone defensively for them and his toughness was impressive. The move to Phoenix was a perfect landing spot for him. Hopefully, he gets back sooner rather than later and in good health. 2. GORDON HAYWARD (Jazz): Did you see him the other night vs. OKC? Awesome. 37 pts, 11 rebounds and seven assists. A young player whose game and confidence has grown and, considering that he decided not to accept Utahs contract offer in the off season, it will be a very interesting and fruitful negotiation for him with his current employer and hell have lots of interest in the open market. 3. LA MARCUS ALDRIDGE (Blazers): His team has had a great run so far this season at 28-9 and now, for the first time, hes given indications that hed consider signing an extension to stay in Portland after expressing his frustration with playing there this past summer. What a difference winning makes. The addition of Robin Lopez has taken lots of interior heat off him and being surrounded by terrific 3-point shooting and a wonderful young lead guard in Damian Lillard has a way of opening your eyes to the fact that the grass isnt always greener. Awesome fan base and a market with a nice tradition. Good place to consider staying. 4. DAVID LEE (Warriors): This guy gets hammered a lot for his sketchy defence, and I understand it sometimes, but this guy can score and board effectively. Look at what hes done in the last 12 games while his team went 11-1. 22 points and 10 rebounds a night is impressive and Id say most teams could handle that from their power forward. Is he perfect? Far from it, yet hes better than most. I still think he contributes more to the winning than being the cause of the struggles. 5. ANDRE MILLER (Nuggets): Ive always been a huge fan of his game and quiet leadership. Hes been a very good pro and, in my opinion, could still start for a bunch of teams in the league. Unfortunate situation right now with his suspension in Denver. I like head coach Brian Shaw a whole lot and its a shame that it looks like hell be parting ways with the team at some point. If Im a team in need of a guy who will make all the smart plays and give you solid D as well, Im in the market for him, thats for sure. Paul Fanaika Jersey Black Friday .

Travis Kelce Chiefs Jersey Cyber Monday . Brown was shown a red card for clipping the Brazilian as he lay on the ground during Barcelonas 1-0 win in Glasgow on Oct. 1. UEFA said its disciplinary panel increased the automatic one-match ban to a three-match sanction.Nearly two dozen scientists and lab directors from around the world have signed a letter sent to the NFL and the players association stating the current test for human growth hormone is safe, scientifically reliable and appropriate for use in professional sports leagues. The letter, obtained by The Associated Press, was dated Oct. 3 and sent to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and union executive director DeMaurice Smith. The NFL and the players agreed to begin blood testing for HGH as part of their new collective bargaining agreement, but only if the union agreed to the methods. The union has delayed implementing the test, asking for more scientific data to prove it is reliable. The letter, signed by 23 scientists and lab directors, says, "Any suggestion in the press that its accuracy is a matter of debate is incorrect." In another letter obtained by the AP, a separate group of anti-doping scientists and lab directors also endorsed the test. "We want to take the opportunity to confirm that the test itself is scientifically accepted and has undergone extensive evaluation," says that letter, sent to Larry Bowers, the lead scientist at the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, then forwarded by USADA CEO Travis Tygart to Goodell and Smith. In all, about five dozen doctors, scientists and lab directors had their names on the two letters, which were sent to undercut the unions questions about the accuracy and validity of a test that produces an average of one false positive for every 10,000 tests conducted. "This further demonstrates that there is simply no excuse for delaying the start of HGH testing in the NFL," league spokesman Greg Aiello said. "The scientific validity of the test is unquestioned. The abuse of growth hormone must be deterred to protect the health of our players and send the right message to young athletes in all sports." NFLPA spokesman Georgge Atallah said the union wanted to review the letters before commenting.ddddddddddddThe union has asked for more scientific information about the test so it can do its own analysis. One of the key items the NFLPA is seeking is a population study of the test -- the data from the athletes who were used to originally set thresholds as to what constitutes a positive test. It wants to compare that data to a population study on football players; the union believes they could have naturally higher HGH levels above those of other athletes. The World Anti-Doping Agency, which sanctions the test, has declined to produce more information, per the unions request, saying plenty of data about the test is available and in the public domain. The majority of those who signed the letters have some connection to WADA or its accredited labs. Those associated with labs linked to WADA are typically discouraged from making statements that question the agencys tests or procedures. Tygart, in his cover letter to Goodell and Smith, said scientisdoping symposium held in London earlier this month were "uniformly troubled" by the delays in implementing the test. "The delay is troubling because the scientific validity, reliability and accuracy of the ... test is universally accepted and attendees at the Symposium recognize that the test is currently the best way to detect and deter the use of this dangerous, performance enhancing drug," Tygarts letter said. Even the tests biggest supporters agree that the HGH test has a weakness in that it only detects synthetic growth hormone for around 24 hours after ingestion. But since the test was introduced in 2004, its accuracy has rarely been questioned this vehemently. In an interview earlier this month, Atallah said there "are some certain, fundamental things were asking for that are not insane." cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' ' |
