This Week from ASN

Going into NFL week two, if the team starts out 0 and 2 it is very difficult to turn around the season in the next 14 games and make the playoffs. So looking at next week's schedule already some teams have pressure. The Cincinnati Bengals is one of those teams.

 The Baltimore the Ravens have a division game against  Cincinnati game a team that already had a loss at New England. The defending division champion. If they lose this weight they know it will be very difficult to repeat as division champions. So, already Cincinnati has a must win situation if the second week of the NFL season.

The Ravens with a short week and a second game on the road are at a distinct disadvantage. The odds makers have this game even and usually the home team has a three point advantage so the experts really think that the Ravens are a better team but the best team does not always win especially on the road in the NFL.

It was really surprising to many to see how easy the Patriots handled the Bengals who were on the road last week.  New England was at home and Belichick as a coach is a big game preparation coach and he had a lot of time to prepare for Cincinnati and in that game he exposed many of their weaknesses. Nevertheless, the Bengals still came back to score 24 points.  New England is not as good as they looked in the opening game and Cincinnati is not as bad as this looked in that game.

In a game between division rivals the Ravens Bengals game will be closely contested.

 The Ravens will show a better offense than they did Monday night and will easily beat the Bengals match ups with TJ Housemandzadah  returning to Cincinnati as a Raven!

The Washington Redskins have an interesting contest this week hosting the Houston Texans. Kyle Shanahan Redskins offense when used at the same title last season for the Houston Texans so he has a real advantage knowing all about the personnel of the Houston Texans aren't sure what they will see when they face new Washington Redskins Houston Texans have to be afraid that they may have peaked the whole season last week with their upset of the Houston Texans of the Indianapolis Colts the whole purpose of the season to try to finally be the Colts their division riles it clearly that way to the playoffs is to design the team that would be able to challenge the Indianapolis Colts in the very difficult division which also has a tendency bedcovers that last week by beating the Colts now they have to go on the road and play him in Washington Redskin team that beat the Dallas Cowboys their in-state it will be hard for the Texans to have the same adrenaline and dedication purposes in their efforts against the Redskins that they had ever as we get colds which is a real advantage for the Redskins also they will now be able to run the ball on the Redskins likely rate will against the calls showing weakness that the Colts will have to work this all sees therefore this is a good opportunity for the Redskins was I like to go to school pants because of as the past we were when I played for the Redskins back in the 70s and we were very successful in those pants and I expect the Redskins to although a three point underdog to be the Houston Texans this week because of their advantages.

TRACK & FIELD Home | Roster | Schedule/Results | News [Printer Friendly] Apr 3, 2010 TAVIK BREAKS SCHOOL SHOT PUT RECORD; 10 TOP-THREE FINISHES AT PENN INVITATIONAL PHILADELPHIA - The Salisbury University track and field team traveled to the University of Pennsylvania on Saturday to compete in the Penn Invitational. It was one of the best meets of the year for the maroon and gold, as the Gulls notched 10 top-three finishes, hit two NCAA automatic qualifying marks and shattered a school record. On the track, junior Chris Barnard (Olney, Md.) and sophomore Becca Stinner (Darnestown, Md.) both captured third-place finishes in the 3000-meter steeplechase, posting times of 9:52.59 and 11:40.89, respectively. The times also mark personal-bests for the athletes. It was also a good day for senior Cory Beebe (Medina, Ohio), whose first-place time of 51.28 seconds in the 400-meter hurdles tied the school record and also qualified him automatically for the NCAA Track and Field Championships. Beebe didn't need the qualifier this time, though, as he already exceeded the standard back on March 20 at the Wake Forest Invitational. Additionally, his 14.82 second time in the 400-meter hurdles earned him a second-place finish and qualified him provisionally for the NCAA Championships. Senior sprinter and NCAA indoor track national champion Delannie Spriggs (Owings, Md.) had two second-place finishes in the 100-meter and 200-meter dash, running 10.63 seconds and 21.72 seconds, respectively. Spriggs' 200-meter time met NCAA provisional qualifying standards. In the field, Sea Gulls dominated the competition on both sides as freshman Chelsea Tavik (Glen Burnie, Md.) shattered her own Salisbury University school shot put record by throwing a 42' 3/4", taking home first place in the event. Senior thrower Brandon Fugett (Randallstown, Md.) also took first place in the shot put, throwing 55' 3" and improving upon the NCAA automatic qualifying mark he already achieved at the Wake Forest Invitational. He also placed first in the discus throw (158' 6") and took home the second place in the hammer throw (152' 5").  Salisbury will look to continue its success as it travels to the West Chester Invitational, hosted by West Chester University, on April 9-10. The meet is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. on both days. Additionally, the Sea Gulls will be hosting the Capital Athletic Conference Track and Field Championships on April 17 at 10 a.m.

Harris: NFL owners figure to win labor fight

Here's a sports fan's eye-view of the cantankerous labor negotiations between NFL owners and players:

On the way to the posh Four Seasons hotel in New York City to hammer out a deal, the players' Ferrari collides with the owners' limo. During an argument over who's at fault, a plate of Waterford China carrying Beluga caviar is shattered.

Mayhem ensues, and an arbitrator sends both sides to a neutral corner.

Perceptions being what they are, the sports public doesn't give a hoot about who's right, who's at fault, how much money players are making, or how much money team owners are losing.

Joe Pittsburgh is paid by the hour, lives paycheck to paycheck and has just enough money left over to buy a marked-down, size XXL authentic Troy Polamalu game jersey.

It's bad enough that grown men can become rich playing a kid's game and that in many NFL cities taxpayers foot the bill to finance the stadiums where the games are played.

But being forced to read and hear about billionaire owners squabbling with millionaire athletes over profit margins when the American economy is trying to stave off disaster is a slap in the face to sports fans everywhere.

The bottom line is no one wants to see a work stoppage in 2011. Owners and players would be foolish to kill their golden goose.

This is all about give and take. And it doesn't matter what side's giving and what side's taking.

Commissioner Roger Goodell, who represents the owners, wants the players to agree to a rookie wage scale. Union chief DeMaurice Smith, who represents the players, wants owners to give some of that concession money to veteran players.

Neither side is budging.

What's the problem? The NFL is experiencing unbridled prosperity.

The league is coming off a season in which Super Bowl XLIV between the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts was the most-watched program in the history of television with an average of 106.5 million viewers, taking over the spot held for 27 years by the final episode of M*A*S*H.

A commercial spoofing Doritos during Super Bowl XLIV was seen by an estimated 116.2 million viewers, making it the all-time most-viewed airing of a TV commercial.

Advertisers paid as much as $2.8 million for a 30-second commercial during the game.

Smith said the league would receive $5 billion from its television network deals even if no games are played in 2011. That would give owners less incentive to strike a deal.

Players, on the other hand, won't be paid if no games are played in 2011.

Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said that some teams are bleeding money. But why ask players to make concessions now?

If owners want players to give back money, why are they paying them so much in the first place?

Why did Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder sign defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth to a $100 million contract with $41 million guaranteed last year?

Why did the Detroit Lions give No. 1 overall draft pick Matthew Stafford $41 million guaranteed? The Lions are owned by William Clay Ford Sr., whose family's other business, Ford Motor Company, is struggling to sell cars. Still, the Lions lavished money on an unproven rookie quarterback before he took his first NFL snap.

Why did Indianapolis owner Jim Irsay tell reporters during Super Bowl week that he wants to make quarterback Peyton Manning the highest-paid player in the league, including up to $50 million in bonus money?

If teams are hurting financially, how can Irsay reward Manning with a record-setting contract?

The owners set the pay scale. Now they're asking the players to save them from themselves.

And if the players don't go along with the program, they'll be cast as greedy money-grubbers who don't care about the fans who buy their jerseys and support their teams, even in a recession.

Given that the owners have a built-in $5 billion nest-egg in the event the league closes shop in 2011, the players figure to be the ones giving and the owners taking in order for labor peace to ensue.

Labor Web Site for NFL Mirrors NHL's Past Effort

NFL News

Written by Jeff Levine

Saturday, 13 February 2010 16:46

The NFL seems to be sticking with the Bob Batterman playbook. In a move eerily similar to one used by the NHL, Profootballtalk.com is reporting that the NFL launched a Web site devoted to the league’s labor conflict with the NFLPA.  The Web site, NFLlabor.com, provides both media and fans with information on the state of negotiations between the NFL and the Players’ Association.  Categories include a FAQ section, a labor news section and a section where anyone can download the current collective bargaining agreement. While Profootballtalk.com’s Mike Florio believes it is rather “unusual” for the NFL to launch its own site “that will focus solely on the labor issues,” this development should not be surprising at all.  This is not the first time a league has launched its own Web site devoted to a labor conflict.  In the stages leading up to its own lockout, the NHL developed its own portal dedicated to voicing its perspective on the ongoing negotiations with the NHLPA.  This move proved very effective, as the Web site helped disseminate the league’s message and justified its position to media outlets and fans. Veteran labor attorney Bob Batterman is credited with designing the NHL’s lockout strategy.  He now works for the NFL in a similar capacity.  It makes sense that the NFL is undertaking a strategy seemingly perfected by Batterman back in the early portion of the millennium. This move allows the NFL to go on the PR offensive and spin its own message directly to the media and the game’s millions of fans.  The Web site’s second entry features a quote by Commissioner Goodell in large block letters stating “we [the NFL] want an agreement.”  Quotes of this nature effectively shift the PR burden onto NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith to respond to such a statement or face the risk of his constituency losing face and allowing the NFL to convince the public that the NFL is right on the right side of this conflict. The Web site is just the latest sign that Batterman's blueprint is being resurrected.  Those who question the likelihood of a lockout in professional sports need to consider these developments as confirmation that both sides are headed for a potentially contentious and drawn out negotiation that could span well beyond the current CBA’s March 2011 expiration.
