We're a tad bit different down here in the South about our college football.
The rest of the country thinks we're too http://www.officialbengalsshop.com/cheap-mens-chicago-bears-tim-jennings-nike-navy-blue-game-jersey-206803-p-1519.html serious, that we lack perspective, that it's supposed to be "just a game" and there are other things important beyond football season.
Agreed.
Recruiting, spring practice and phoning a radio call-in show in May to ask hosts who they think will win a game to be played in October are also essential to our well-being.
No doubt that college football in the South is a different animal, because we have bigger and more expensive zoos.
Starting my 38th season covering college football - that's almost four decades of questionable press box chili dogs - I can tell you college football below the Mason-Dixon line is distinctly ours.
Nobody else is crazy enough to claim it.
As LSU opens its home season tonight against Chattanooga in Tiger Stadium, I'm positive in our football South that we ...
Sometimes lose the game, but always win the party.
Instruct lawyers in divorce proceedings that the spouse can have the house but "I'm keeping the damned season tickets."
Donate to a worthy cause, like pooling bail money for a friend arrested trying to tear down a goalpost after a big victory.
Agree losing to Vanderbilt is always a reason to call in sick to jobs on Monday morning just to avoid the harassment in the office breakroom.
Are acceptable of mixed marriages, such as between http://www.officialbuccaneersshop.com/shop-by-players-akeem-spence-jersey-c-1_3.html Alabama alums and Auburn alums, Ole Miss alums/Mississippi State alums and Florida/Georgia alums.
Can't give the exact date of when man first walked on the moon, but do know that a Georgia freshman running back named Herschel Walker ran over a Tennessee defensive back named Bill Bates, that former Alabama quarterback Joe Namath's middle name is Willie, that former Tennessee QB Peyton Manning used to be called "Peyty Pie" by his momma Olivia, that Florida's Steve Spurrier is the only person in college football history to win the Heisman Trophy as a player and later coach his alma mater to a national championship, and that a Baton Rougean named Dana Moore kicked the game-winning field goal for Mississippi State when the Bulldogs snapped No. 1 Alabama's 28-game win streak in 1980.
Agree any tailgate recipe tastes better with bourbon.
All think, no matter if we're six or 60 years old, that we have rocket throwing arms with deadly accuracy ... until we hit an elderly fan in the back of the head chucking a football around a stadium parking lot.
May not pay the electricity bill on time, but never fail to fork up money for season tickets.
Still don't understand why Missouri is in the SEC or how national championship-winning coaches Lou Holtz and Steve Spurrier ended their Trai Turner Jersey careers at South Carolina.

New Orleans Saints long snapper Jon Dorenbos will require a surgery to correct an aortic aneurysm, but he will not technically be http://www.ravensshopsofficial.com/shop-by-players-kamar-aiken-jersey-c-2_3.html having open heart surgery, as his new head coach said.
An aortic aneurysm is an enlargement of the main vessel (that is bigger than a garden hose) leaving your heart that supplies the majority of the blood to the whole body. The large vessel develops a weakening in the wall and expands, much like a damaged garden hose, before it ruptures. It is known as a silent killer, since often previous symptoms are not exhibited. (Actors John Ritter and Alan Thicke died of aortic dissections.)
Indeed, Dorenbos is undergoing major surgery, and surgeons may need to “crack the chest” open to fix it. But it is not surgery to the heart. The heart is the “water pump” while the aorta is the “hose”.
The good news is Dorenbos’ story will have a happy ending, as the discovery of his aortic aneurysm may have saved his life. However, with the surgery and his age (37), he has likely played his last down of football. With the graft typically used, that is a contraindication to return to tackle football.
There has been speculation that the trade that sent Dorenbos to New Orleans will be voided.
That seems unlikely.
He obviously passed his physical in order the see the field for the final preseason game.
Once that happens, the “old maid” theory http://www.authenticdolphinsjerseys.com/shop-by-players-mike-pouncey-jersey-c-1_42.html applies. The new team assumes all health issues, including pre-existing conditions.
He has been placed on the Non-Football Injury list (NFI), which means the Saints could decide to not pay Dorenbos. But it would be extraordinary for the trade to be voided at this point – unless there was a non-disclosure issue from the Eagles. (I do not believe in any way, shape or form that was the case. There would be no reason for the Eagles to risk this player’s life – and certainly not over a seventh-round draft pick.)
It is doubtful the Eagles’ quality medical staff was sloppy or missed any signs on Dorenbos since aortic aneurysm is known to not have symptoms. The Eagles’ staff is thorough. In 2011, it found a brain tumor on Jerome Harrison’s post-trade physical, leading to surgery and having that trade voided.
It is not clear what led to a follow-up evaluation after Dorenbos passed his initial physical, but kudos to New Orleans primary care physician (Dr. John Amoss) for being diligent.Amoss was not involved in the Delvin Breaux issues that led to the highly-publicized firing of two team orthopedists recently.
Usually, team doctors’ names are not heard by the public. But in New Orleans, two very public issues in the past month have been the exception to that rule.
There are, in fact, numerous instances in which team physicians deserve kudos for discovering issues large and small. Eric Berry of the Chiefs Ty Montgomery Authentic Jersey and David Quessenberry of the Texans both beat life-threatening cancer after their lymphomas were discovered by team physicians.
In this case, it was also a trade that may have saved a player’s life.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler is reporting the http://www.authenticpatriotsstore.com/shop-by-players-dion-jordan-jersey-c-1_16.html Pittsburgh Steelers have released WR Cobi Hamilton. (Jeremy Fowler on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact
Although Hamilton had a role with the Steelers last season, they added JuJu Smith-Schuster in the draft and Martavis Bryant is reinstated. Since Hamilton was the low-man on the totem pole, he was the odd man out. He'll likely find his http://www.billsjerseysale.com/shop-by-players-thurman-thomas-jersey-c-1_50.html way on to a practice squad in the near future.

Indianapolis Colts cornerback Vontae Davis has http://www.billsonlineofficial.com/shop-by-players-sammy-watkins-jersey-c-1_46.html been ruled out for Sunday's season opener against the Los Angeles Rams with a groin injury.
Per Kevin Bowen of 1070 The Fan, Colts head coach Chuck Pagano announced Davis would miss Week 1.
Davis injured his groin on Aug. 29, and Pagano told reporters it was "significant."
The Colts are starting the 2017 season banged up, with Davis joining quarterback Andrew Luck as two of the team's key players on the sidelines for the opener.
Davis has been one of the Colts' best defensive players since being acquired in a trade with the Miami Dolphins prior to the 2012 season. He was named to the Pro Bowl in back-to-back seasons in 2014-15 after recording a total of eight interceptions in 31 games.
Last season saw Davis' overall performance decline. The 29-year-old finished 98th in Pro Football Focus' cornerback grades with a 47.3 mark, a drop of nearly 50 points from his high-water mark in 2014 (94.6).
With Davis sidelined again, the Colts could http://www.billsshopofficial.com/shop-by-players-tyrod-taylor-jersey-c-1_51.html turn to rookie Quincy Wilson or second-year cornerback Christopher Milton.

Love, Hate and the first day
They are calm.
I, however, am an emotional mess.
It is the morning of Aug. 28, 2017, at 8:28 a.m. The first day of kindergarten for my twin daughters, who turn 6 in October.
In just a few minutes, for the first time in http://www.cheappatriotssale.com/shop-by-players-jimmy-garoppolo-jersey-c-1_29.html their lives, they will go to the public elementary school in my town. They will ride the bus to and from there.
And the journey will have officially started.
We took them shopping and as they carefully considered lots of different clothes, shoes and sparkly backpacks, I was fine.
There was an orientation meeting at the school and we took them to meet their teachers, see where their classrooms were and learn where to get on and off the bus. I was fine.
And then it was the morning and we are walking them to where the bus picks them up and they slowly get on. They have excitement and fear in their eyes and as they sit down in the second row together and look at me ... I just lose it.
One of them is shy. Already too smart for her own good, she's the prankster, often in her own world, very opinionated, a total mush ball and easily distracted. She's 5 going on 15, constantly in her mom's closet figuring out what she's going to wear. She's the one that's going to give me trouble in high school, I already know it.
The other is the social one. Quick to make friends at a park, playground or someone's house, she's the rule follower, she's super considerate of everyone else, she's the one who shares, hyper aware of everything, she has no problem putting her foot down, hands on her little hips and letting us know what needs to happen. She's also five minutes older, so she takes the responsibility of being the "older sister" very seriously, often telling the other that she can have her dessert or that they need to watch what she wants, because "that's what big sisters do."
hey are beautiful and brilliant and maddening and unique and frustrating and puzzling and fantastic and insane and have me completely and http://www.dolphinsjerseyofficial.com/shop-by-players-31-michael-thomas-jersey-c-1_16.html totally wrapped around their fingers.
And as of 10 days ago, they are no longer mine.
They went to a daily preschool together, a half-day thing five minutes from our house, but otherwise have been at home with my wife up until this year and so, even with the caveat that they are twins, they are very close. Sharing private jokes, not wanting to sleep unless the other one is in the room with them, they are inseparable.
The shy one always relies on the other to include her and bring her into play at playgrounds and parties. The "big sister," poor thing, inherited her father's awful eyesight (I wear contacts), so she wears glasses and sometimes is self-conscious about them. She leans on her younger sister for self-confidence and reassurance.
And now, at least in school, they won't anymore. We decided -- and by we, I really mean my wife decided and I didn't fight it -- that we would split them up. It's what the school and other parents of twins recommend, so right or wrong, we're doing it.
I feel that way all the time. Right or wrong, we are doing "it," whatever "it" may be, in raising the girls.
I am sure this will be of no surprise to anyone who has read me for any amount of time, but I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to parenting. And as the girls grow older, that's only going to become more apparent. To them and to me.
I often feel helpless, unsure of what to do, as my two little beans look to me for answers and guidance and everything a little girl wants from her daddy. Attention and love, I've got down pat. It's just everything else that's a question mark.
But at least, as I fumble my way through that, it was self-contained. In our own little world, their mother and I, their brothers and some friends. It was a self-contained world, where the worst thing that happens to them is we run Tracy Porter Womens Jersey out of apple juice.
And that ended 10 days ago. I know I have to share them with the real world.
They're ready. I'm not.

OSTA MESA, Calif. -- Don’t get comfortable.
That’s basically the message from Los Angeles Chargers general manager Tom Telesco to players on his initial 53-man roster.
All the Chargers’ selections from this http://www.officialbengalssales.com/shop-by-players-andrew-billings-jersey-c-1_5.html year’s draft except second rounder Forrest Lamp (on injured reserve due to ACL knee surgery) and five undrafted rookies made the team’s initial, 53-man roster. In all, 20 players on this year’s roster were not part of the initial, 53-man roster at the start of last season.
“I like where we are right now,” Telesco said in a conversation with reporters. “I still think we have work to do. When you talk about the roster, it’s never over, it’s never done.
“We made two claims today [Sunday]. There were some other claims that we made that we didn’t get. But we’ll keep after it and see if anybody else can help us moving forward. So it’s a never-ending process of trying to get the right team on the field.”
The players the Chargers claimed were offensive lineman Michael Schofield and defensive back Jeff Richards off waivers, releasing receiver Geremy Davis and cornerback Craig Mager to make room on the 53-man roster.
Telesco said Schofield -- a third-round selection by the Denver Broncos in the 2014 draft who was released on Saturday -- will provide depth up front and should make an easy transition since the Broncos run the similar scheme.
“We’re looking at him as a guard more than http://www.officialbengalsshop.com/shop-by-players-will-sutton-jersey-c-2_104.html a tackle,” Telesco said. “But that fact that he has some versatility is nice. We’re just looking to add depth on the offensive line.
“As the year goes on it gets harder and harder to add some good depth at different positions, so you have an opportunity at the cut to 53 -- it’s a good place to do that. He’s tough, he’s smart and he’s been very durable and accountable there in Denver.”
At 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, Telesco said Richards, claimed after the Carolina Panthers released him on Saturday, will start out at corner.
Telesco said releasing veteran safety Dwight Lowery was one of the team’s toughest cuts, but the Chargers felt they had solid depth at the position. Lowery, who played the most defensive snaps for the Chargers last season (961), was scheduled to make $2 million if on the team’s roster in Week 1.
“You try and do what you think is best for the football team at that moment,” Telesco said. “And we just felt like we had a pretty deep Jameis Winston Youth Jersey group at safety and all of those guys had done some positive things.
“After a lot of discussion, it was a decision we had to make. Dwight did an excellent job for us last year. He’s a great pro, handles himself extremely well, and I still think he has football in front of him. It was a very difficult decision, but we went with the five that we have right now, and I think it’s a pretty strong group.”

Every Vikings player bears the scar http://www.officialpanthersstore.com/cheap-youth-carolina-panthers-tyronne-green-pro-line-team-color-black-jersey-105882-p-682.html of last year’s season-ending 3-8 skid, even though Mike Zimmer is quick to defend his prideful defense that started the year better than any team in the NFL.
“We had two bad games,” Zimmer said of the defense. “I don’t know about tapered off. We finished third in the league in points scored and every other statistical category.”
In Zimmer’s third season at the helm, the Vikings defense recorded top-10 finishes in five major categories: yards allowed (third), passing yards allowed (third), sacks forced (fifth), points allowed (sixth) and takeaways (seventh).
The NFL took notice when they were the league’s last unbeaten team at 5-0.
“Our team was clicking,” defensive end Brian Robison said. “Offense was putting up points. Defensively we were making plays.”
Carrying the weight of an offense that http://www.ravensshopsofficial.com/shop-by-players-terrell-suggs-jersey-c-2_28.html failed to reach 21 points in seven of nine games, the Vikings defense, the team’s backbone, started to break.
Perfectly mediocre made a sour replacement for all-time great. That’s 8-8 for you.
Zimmer knows his defense, which featured five Pro Bowl players last season, is better than the record suggested. That’s why the Vikings extended the contracts of three cornerstones — cornerback Xavier Rhodes, defensive end Everson Griffen and defensive tackle Linval Joseph — this summer.
But Zimmer still tinkered with the unit that brought the Vikings back to relevancy. He made at least three lineup changes. The veteran defensive coach even considered giving up play-calling to better manage game days but quickly took back the play sheet this preseason.
He and his coaches are also encouraging Vikings defenders to generate a little recklessness within their well-oiled, tightly wound machine in the hope of interrupting offenses more at and behind the line of scrimmage.
“Don’t be satisfied with just, ‘Hey, I did Koa Misi Authentic Jersey my job,’ ” said linebackers coach Adam Zimmer. “Let’s get more hats on the ball.”

Timmons wants to play; Some eye-opening Dolphins and Cutler numbers
A 12-pack of notes, a day after the Dolphins’ 19-17 season-opening win at the Los Angeles Chargers:
• After missing Sunday’s game for an http://www.officialbearsshops.com/shop-by-players-pat-odonnell-jersey-c-2_6.html undisclosed personal reason, Dolphins linebacker Lawrence Timmons is doing better and wants to resume playing immediately, according to a league source.
But Timmons must first meet with coach Adam Gase, and that meeting will help determine his Dolphins future.
In addition, ESPN’s Adam Schefter said Timmons is scheduled to meet with doctors today to determine the “personal” issue.
Gase has said he will discuss the matter at his 3 p.m. news conference.
Timmons left the team on Saturday and Dolphins officials didn’t determine his whereabouts until Sunday morning.
Sunday’s absence snapped Timmons’ streak of 101 consecutive starts, most in the league among front seven defenders.
• Based on the naked eye, and some metrics from Pro Football Focus, the Dolphins’ young players had mixed results Sunday.
Cornerback Xavien Howard was targeted a league-high 13 times in Week 2 and allowed a league-high 10 receptions for 87 yards, including a key one on San Diego’s final drive that ended with a missed field goal. His overall grade of 46.8 ranked 62nd among all cornerbacks for week two.
While linebacker Mike Hull - forced into a major role - held up in the running game, he allowed all nine passes thrown against him to be caught for 95 yards. The targets, receptions and yards allowed were all the most for any linebacker in http://www.officialbengalssales.com/shop-by-players-cedric-ogbuehi-jersey-c-1_14.html coverage for Week 2.
Even if Rey Maualuga eventually replaces Hull, pass coverage at middle linebacker remains an enormous concern. Maualuga was out with a hamstring injury Sunday.
Hull played all 58 of Miami’s defensive snaps. Rookie Chase Allen, who started alongside Hull and Kiko Alonso, played 13 snaps and had an 81.3 grade, third highest among Dolphins defenders.
Rookie first-rounder Charles Harris played 27 snaps and had one quarterback hurry. In all, a relatively quiet debut.
While PFF ranked Davon Godchaux poorly for the day, he appeared to be playing well. He logged 32 of Miami’s 58 defensive snaps - more than Jordan Phillips’ 21 - and was part of a Miami defense that limited the Chargers to 3.1 yards per carry.
• On offense, Laremy Tunsil earning a run-blocking grade of 80.5, according to PFF, which makes the top 20 among all tackles. But he struggled in pass protection, permitting three QB hurries and two sacks and a hit in 32 pass-blocking snaps. His overall grade of 45.7 ranked 44th of all tackles in Week 2.

Kneeling for anthem, 1 year later: N.J. football coach on intense year, what's next
It was a scorching hot Saturday last Sept. 10 and Woodrow Wilson and Highland were ready to face off in what figured to be a key football game in the West Jersey Football League Royal Division.
Moments before kickoff there was no indication a http://www.officialbengalsshop.com/shop-by-players-willie-young-jersey-c-2_105.html national and International story was going to occur, nothing to dictate that the spotlight was going to shine as bright as that September sun on Woodrow Wilson coach Preston Brown and his coaches and players in the coming days, weeks and months.
But as the national anthem started to play, Brown took a knee. His coaches and players – all except two – joined him.
Brown had decided a few days before he was going to take a knee as a way to speak out against economic disparities and social injustices. He had been inspired by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick making a similar gesture before a preseason game – and starting what would become a national controversy over his actions.
Brown told his team his plans so they wouldn’t be surprised, and unbeknownst to him, the majority decided to do so with him. They repeated the act for every anthem the rest of the season, changing course after Brown said they would only do it for two weeks because of how many calls and e-mails he received supporting their stance.
It’s been nearly a year since that opening game of the 2016 season – which Highland went on to win, 13-7, in what became something of a footnote of the day’s events.
The teams will meet again this Friday night in what is expected to be another closely-contested, important game. Brown said on Wednesday night he hadn’t discussed with the team whether he would kneel for this game or what their plans were and had the mindset that everyone should make their own decisions.
Stories on NJ.com about the decision last http://www.officialbuccaneersshop.com/shop-by-players-clinton-mcdonald-jersey-c-1_13.html September drew hundreds of comments. A 45-second video of the team kneeling has 91,000 views.
National and even International news agencies – the BBC did a piece the following week – talked to Brown and the players and followed up on their stance. Brown admitted the attention was nothing he expected and even this week – perhaps through the power of Google – the school fielded 8-10 phone calls on the issue as if it just happened.
Brown noted 70 percent of the responses he has seen throughout the year have been positive, though there are plenty of commenters who have called for his firing and were further enraged when the school district and superintendent supported him.
Brown said this week he suspects some officials who don’t agree with the Tigers’ decision have let it affect their impartiality.
"I was told by my AD that some refs didn’t want to ref our games," said Brown. “We got a penalty for too many men on the field when we didn’t have enough. One game they went to explain a call to the other coach and when I asked for an explanation I got a sideline warning. Against Moorestown, we were called off-sides when we weren’t even rushing in. We were told not to rush in during the final couple minutes of the Delsea game because they were going to take a knee, even though I said what if they fumble the snap? We got a penalty on an extra point for not enough people on the line that didn’t make any sense.
“In a lot of games there were some interesting calls and usually you just deal with it, but in close games that can cost you. And I still saw some questionable calls in one of our scrimmages this year.”
Brown said he continued to sit or kneel as he assisted with the basketball program this past winter and some players did the same.
“I don’t regret decisions we made,” said Brown, a Wilson graduate who is also the school’s Dean of Culture and Climate. “I still feel strongly about it. There’s been some improvements in some issues, but we still have issues. There’s questionable things happening.
"You see the (NFL player) Michael Thomas Davis Sr Kids Jersey Bennett (involved in a racial profiling incident) in Las Vegas. You look at who the President is and how many people are unhappy he is representing our nation and the things he has said publicly. You see what’s happening with (President) Trump now with DACA, which is going to affect some kids in our school if it goes through. There’s a great social economic divide and racial divide.

Lorenzo Alexander had a huge impact http://www.ravensshopsofficial.com/shop-by-players-lardarius-webb-jersey-c-2_7.html on the Buffalo Bills defense in the 2016 season. Initially signed to be a special teamer, Alexander earned a starting role in Buffalo’s defense last summer. He took the opportunity and ran with it, as he recorded 76 tackles and 12.5 sacks for the Bills last season.
Alexander has now taken a leadership role in Buffalo’s locker room. When speaking to the media earlier this week, the 34-year-old praised Ramon Humber, a linebacker who has a background that is shockingly similar to that of Alexander. Humber, 30, was brought in by the Bills last season to play on special teams – but he won a starting linebacker role in this past summer’s training camp.
Humber was impressive in the team’s 2017 season opener, as he recorded a team-high 12 tackles.
“He’s going to continue to do that,” Alexander told the Buffalo News. “There’s certain guys that you know when you play with, you’re like, ‘he’s probably just a teamer.’ But then there’s other guys like, ‘this dude can ball no matter http://www.authentic49ersshop.com/shop-by-players-jeremy-kerley-jersey-c-1_26.html what.’ He’s one of those guys that we trust. We’re not out there like, ‘oh, that’s a weak link.’ That’s Ramon. We know he’s got it. He’s going to lock it down.”
Humber’s road to being a starting linebacker in the NFL has been a long one, a road that features many twists and turns. After going undrafted in the 2009 NFL Draft, Humber signed with the Indianapolis Colts. After a two-year stint in Indianapolis, Humber signed with the New Orleans Saints. He would spend the next six years of his NFL career with the Saints before joining Buffalo in August of 2016.
“He’s old in this league now. People think that he’s younger than what he is,” Alexander said. “He’s learned a lot of football. He’s been around a lot of great players, a lot of great teams, and he’s always been productive when he’s gotten his opportunity.”
Alexander was right. While Humber has never been a superstar, he’s always taken advantage of the opportunities he’s been afforded. While he’s only started 19 games throughout his career, he’s recorded 222 tackles.
Humber took advantage of another opportunity this past Sunday when he recorded 12 tackles and an interception on a two-point conversion against the Jets.
Humber and the Buffalo defense will take on Chaz Green Authentic Jersey the Cam Newton-led Carolina Panthers in Week 2. If Alexander’s comments are any indication, Humber will have yet another big outing this week.

Dolphins coach Adam Gase, still irked about Lawrence Timmons leaving the team without permission on Saturday, was non-committal http://www.authenticsaintsshop.com/shop-by-players-customized-c-1_11.html on Monday about whether the veteran linebacker would remain a part of the organization, let alone play next week at the Jets.
According to a source, Timmons was doing much better Monday after dealing with an undisclosed personal matter over the weekend and wants to play Sunday at the Jets. He missed Sunday’s game at the Chargers after going AWOL Saturday.
SPN reported that Timmons would meet with team doctors on Monday, which the team did not confirm.
Gase declined to say when asked if Timmons is expected to remain with the organization.
“Nothing to add, for what I have right now,” Gase said. “Really just gathering a lot of information. I’ve got a few other things I have to deal with the guys who played [Sunday].”
Gase said Monday he hasn’t talked to Timmons and has “no idea” if he was in the Dolphins’ facility.
Gase was asked if he has a lot of rules. “Be on time and play hard,” he said. “I don’t know if that’s real hard.”
The coach was asked his tolerance level when those rules are broken.
“What do you think?” Gase answered. “You’ve got two rules. It’s not hard.”
Among Miami’s most realistic options is suspending Timmons for as many as four games for conduct detrimental to the team.
Article 42 of the collective bargaining agreement allows teams to fine a player for up to one week’s salary or to suspend him, without pay, for detrimental conduct for a period “not to exceed four weeks.”
The Dolphins gave Timmons a two-year, $12 million contract in March, including a $5.5 million signing bonus and $11 million in guaranteed money.
But only $1 million of his pay this season is in base salary. So if Timmons is suspended without pay for one week, it would cost him $58,823 – one/17th of a 17-week NFL season, according to someone who has access to his contract.
If the Dolphins suspended him for the maximum http://www.authenticsteelersshop.com/shop-by-players-donnie-shell-jersey-c-2_46.html four weeks, it would cost him $235,294.
Cutting him would not benefit the Dolphins much financially. According to overthecap.com, his cap hit would be nearly identical this season if he’s on the team ($3.77 million) as if he’s not ($3.75 million).
Next season, he has an $8.2 million cap hit if he’s on the team, $7.2 million if he’s cut before June 1.
And $4.5 million of his $5.4 million base salary for next season already has been guaranteed, per sources.
The Dolphins learned Timmons had gone AWOL on Saturday night and filed missing person’s reports with multiple Southern California police departments, according to a source.
According to TMZ and a team source, police found Timmons at Los Angeles International Airport on Sunday morning in a boarding area. TMZ said a Dolphins official was summoned and met Timmons there and left with him. Timmons was trying to get to Pennsylvania, where his baby and the baby’s mother live.
TMZ said the reason Timmons bolted was because “he missed the baby and wanted to visit. He was serious about visiting her.”
Sunday’s absence ended a streak of 101 Tj Green Jersey consecutive starts for Timmons, which ranks 10th among all active players and second among all defensive players, behind only Ravens cornerback Brandon Carr.

A six-pack of Dolphins notes on a Tuesday:
• For a team that allowed a league-worst 4.8 http://www.authenticcowboysstore.com/shop-by-players-andrew-gachkar-jersey-c-2_62.html yards per carry last season, this was encouraging, even with the extremely small sample size:
Miami emerged from Sunday’s 19-17 win against the Chargers allowing just 3.1 yards per carry, 7th best in the league.
What’s more, after relinquishing 140 yards per game on the ground last season, Miami allowed just 44 on Sunday.
And there’s this: The Chargers’ 44 rushing yards were the fewest allowed by the Dolphins since Sept. 30, 2012, when Arizona mustered only 28.
“I thought we had very few missed tackles,” Adam Gase said. “The entire defense did a good job playing off each other. We had one that kind of got us for a longer run. For the most part, everybody was in the right gaps, playing fast, a lot of gang tackling. A lot of guys were around the ball, collapsing everything. Really good to see.”
Chargers coach Anthony Lynn stopped running http://www.authenticsaintsshop.com/shop-by-players-jahri-evans-jersey-c-1_17.html the ball as much after watching Ndamukong Suh blow up a couple of plays early on. Suh had two tackles for loss.
“What I saw early was Suh dominating up front, and I got away from that,” Lynn said of the running game.
• Cody Parkey’s 54-yard field goal was the longest game-winning field goal in Dolphins history, according to the team.

When the Halifax County Middle School football team takes the field today against Fieldale-Collinsville Middle School at 5 p.m. at http://www.authenticsteelersshop.com/shop-by-players-anthony-chickillo-jersey-c-2_74.html Tuck Dillard Memorial Stadium it will looking to turn around its fortunes and take a step toward building a successful season.
The Lions fell to Ben Franklin Middle School in their home opener, and with today’s game being the first of five games remaining on the team’s schedule, this provides the Lions a good opportunity to build momentum for the rest of the season.
“I am really excited about this year to see what we have,” said Lions Head Coach LeVar Medley.
“Right now, offensively we have to continue to work on execution. The base of the offense is in, and all we have to do is sharpen things up. Defensively, we just have to make sure we know our assignments and fly to the ball. That’s what I preach on the defensive side of the ball everybody fly to the ball.”
Medley has experience and some talented young athletes in the ranks, especially in the offensive backfield where he has everyone returning. Osiris Ross returns at quarterback, bringing with him good experience from last season.
“He took over in the middle of the season http://www.coltsshopauthentic.com/shop-by-players-23-frank-gore-jersey-c-1_12.html last year, and did a tremendous job for us,” Medley said.
“This off-season he has had the whole off-season dedicated to thinking like a quarterback.”
Ross has two solid runners in the backfield with him in fullback Mikyler Smalls and Saeed Buster, giving the Lions a three-pronged threat.
“Mikyler ran the ball tough for me last year,” Medley noted, “and he is back healthy this year after suffering a broken ankle in the Bluestone game last year. We have the real fast Saeed Buster running again this year, and he has gotten bigger and stronger. He was very electric, very fast last year.”
Another runner Medley is expecting good things from this season is Montreal Claiborne, a runner Medley describes as “a shifty-type of guy with good vision.”
Up front, Medley is looking at returning center Greyson Balance to anchor the offensive line.
The Lions lost a lot of their defensive starters from last season, but have a stalwart returning at defensive end in Zachariah Carter. Carter is one of four returning defensive starters for the Lions.
“He is the leader of the defense, and I might say the leader of this team,” Medley pointed out.
“He is not a man of many words, but he leads Doug Martin Authentic Jersey by example in practice, in the school hallway and on the playing field.”
Medley likes the mixture of experience and youth he has in this year’s team.
“We’re young,” he noted.
“The more we play, the more we’ll get it.”
After today’s game, the Lions will play their next three games on the road before ending their season Oct. 4 with a home game against Laurel Park Middle School.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills http://www.officialpanthersstore.com/shop-by-players-tre-boston-jersey-c-9_91.html running back LeSean McCoy is expected to play Sunday despite being held out of Friday's practice with groin soreness.
Coach Sean McDermott said he is "very confident" that McCoy will be able to handle a full workload in Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. McDermott added that he was anticipating giving McCoy a veteran rest day Friday before the groin issue.
McCoy was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's and Thursday's practices with a wrist injury suffered in last Sunday's win over the New York Jets. The injury caused McCoy to briefly leave the game after a run near the goal line.
McCoy gained 159 total yards on 22 carries and five catches in the Bills' opening-day win. His 27 touches were the most in a non-overtime http://www.ravensshopsofficial.com/shop-by-players-ricky-wagner-jersey-c-2_32.html game since being traded to Buffalo in 2015, but McDermott said this week that he was comfortable with McCoy's workload.

LINDEN -- Two men who were recorded by a http://www.officialchargesshop.com/shop-by-players-casey-hayward-jersey-c-1_7.html friend jumping on cars in a movie theater parking lot in July have been arrested.
Joye Dossantos-Rosario, 21, and Kyle Williams, 22, both of Linden, were charged with third-degree criminal mischief after being arrested Thursday, Linden police said in a statement Monday.
A video posted to social media showed the boisterous pair laughing as they went from car to car, leaping and tumbling on vehicles parked at the AMC Aviation 12 theater on July 19.
At least one vehicle had a cracked windshield from http://www.officialvikingssale.com/shop-by-players-matt-asiata-jersey-c-2_29.html the vandalism spree.
Dossantos-Rosario and Williams were given summonses. Both are due in Superior Court later this week.

CARSON, Calif. — All those still without http://www.authentic49ersshop.com/shop-by-players-mike-purcell-jersey-c-1_34.html power in South Florida weren’t alone Sunday. Scores of Dolphins players also couldn’t watch the deciding moment, fearful that the week loaded with more body blows than most teams could absorb was about to deliver the knockout punch.
Forgotten in those seconds, perhaps, was that a Dolphins team that so many remain convinced wasn’t that good in 2016 is again finding ways to beat the odds in 2017. A 44-yard field goal try that NFL kickers ought to make instead sailed wide right, allowing the Dolphins to pull out a 19-17 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers and put an exclamation point on one of the weirdest weeks in team history.
Want something else weird? They’re in sole possession of first place in the AFC East.
“When the kick went wide right, that was almost a moment like, ‘This is for you,’ ” receiver Jarvis Landry said of fans in South Florida who weren’t as fortunate as the players to scurry out of the region ahead of Hurricane Irma.
It was for the fans, but also for players who endured a week of practice in a strange city (Oxnard, Calif.) and woke up on a sunny Sunday morning knowing they’d be the last NFL team to start its season. Except even then, clouds were looming http://www.authenticcowboysstore.com/shop-by-players-cedric-thornton-jersey-c-2_13.html overhead, this time in the form of a starting linebacker, Lawrence Timmons, who mysteriously left the team.
There’s more, because these are the Dolphins. There was a dreary first half in which one of their star receivers was nearly bent in half, triggering a skirmish in the tunnel both teams use to enter their locker rooms at halftime.

Chicago Bears quarterback Mike Glennon’s skill set can be defined in one play that any rookie could do
There is essentially only one argument left for http://www.officialpanthersstore.com/shop-by-players-trai-turner-jersey-c-9_90.html people who think that Mitchell Trubisky should not start. It is that the Bears talent on offense is so bad that it would either injure or affect the confidence of Trubisky. That is an awful way to look at it. Instead, Trubisky, you know, the number two overall pick in the NFL draft could be good and elevate those around him. On Sunday the Bears 10 players around the quarterback gave the signal caller a chance to make plays. Take this play for example.
The pocket is clean. He is looking at Josh Bellamy on a go route, and should know that Tarik Cohen is running a cross underneath, as highlighted.
Mike Glennon actually does what he should have. He gets the safety, Chris Conte to buy in on the deep ball, eventually leaving the teams top play maker open for a potential big gain.
If Glennon had pocket awareness,he would feel the pressure on his left. However, he also has a huge gap to step up into, since that is already where he is looking to throw. Cohen and Bellamy should both be in his vision, and as he steps up, the movement of the safety should tell Glennon where he is going with the ball.
By the time Conte adjusts, Cohen has huge separation. If Glennon is able to make the read down the field the team should get a substantial gain out of this play.
He can see the safety has his back turned. He can see that Cohen is about to break to the outside. However, he remains standing in the same spot in the pocket looking at a player who would have been getting triple covered.
Staring down his wasted first option too long http://www.ravensshopsofficial.com/shop-by-players-terrell-suggs-jersey-c-2_28.html without any pocket presence to step up finally catches up to Glennon. He gets bumped, loses all composure and throws that. Two plays later Glennon had the sack fumble and from there the route was on.

Huskies open Pac-12 play against Colorado
THE GAME: The Washington football team (3-0) begins Pac-12 Conference play where it left off last year as the Huskies travel to Boulder to face Colorado (3-0) in a rematch of the 2016 conference championship game. The Huskies http://www.authenticpackerssale.com/shop-by-players-89-jared-cook-jersey-c-1_42.html enter the game, which will kick off at 8:00 p.m. MT/7:00 p.m. PT and air on FOX Sports 1, ranked No. 7 in the latest AP Top 25 and No. 6 the USA Today coaches' poll. Colorado is unranked, but receiving votes in both. Last Dec. in Santa Clara, the Huskies beat the Buffaloes, 41-10, in the title game, in the teams' only meeting of 2016. Following this Saturday's game in Boulder, the Huskies head to Oregon State Sept. 30.
QUICK SLANTS: Washington's Dante Pettis has opened the season with a punt return for a touchdown in each of the UW's three games: 61 yards at Rutgers, 67 yards vs. Montana and 77 yards vs. Fresno State ... with 8 career TDs on punt returns, he's tied the NCAA record, shared by Wes Welker (Texas Tech) and Antonio Perkins (Oklahoma) while also tying the NCAA mark for consecutive games with a punt return TD (David Allen, Kansas State, 1998; Ryan Switzer, North Carolina, 2013) ... in the Fresno State win, he also caught three TD passes and threw a 39-yard pass ... Keishawn Bierria led the nation in fumble recoveries last year, with five ... he recovered one against Montana, giving him seven for his career, one shy of the UW career record ... tailback Myles Gaskin scored his 27th career rushing touchdown vs. Fresno State, placing him eighth on the UW list ... three games into his junior season, Jake Browning currently sits fourth on the UW career passing yards (7,183) and career completions (534) charts ... his 67 career TD passes remain second on the list, behind Keith Price's 75 ... seven true freshmen have seen action for the UW so far this year: TE Hunter Bryant, TE Jacob Kizer, WR Ty Jones, TB Salvon Ahmed and DBs Keith Taylor, Brandon McKinney and Elijah Molden ... UW entered the year with 32 players on the roster who had started at least one game ... four more (LB Ben Burr-Kirven and DBs Jordan Miller, Myles Bryant and Murphy) earned their first starts at Rutgers, while two more (WR Jordan Chin and TE Hunter Bryant) started vs. Fresno State, meaning that 38 different Huskies have started a game ... the UW has won seven straight "true" http://www.authenticpatriotsstore.com/shop-by-players-earl-mitchell-jersey-c-1_18.html road games (not counting neutral sites).
TELEVISION: The Washington-Colorado game will air live to a national audience on FOX Sports 1 television with Tim Brando (play-by-play), Spencer Tillman (color) and Holly Sonders (sidelines) providing the commentary.
RADIO: The Washington IMG College Network, with its flagship station KOMO AM-1000 and FM-97.7, will carry the live broadcast of every football game on 17 Northwest radio stations. Longtime play-by-play man Bob Rondeau and color analyst Damon Huard are joined by sideline reporter Elise Woodward. The home broadcast of the game will also air on Sirius (83) and XM (83) satellite radio. Westwood One (Ted Emrich, Derek Rackley) will also air a national, syndicated broadcast.
THE YOUNG AND THE OLD: Washington has been a notably and demonstrably young team the last couple of years and, while the Huskies have gotten distinctly more experienced across the board, the roster still skews towards youth. The 2017 roster includes 40 freshmen and 26 sophomores, compared to just 16 seniors and 27 juniors, meaning just under 61 percent of the players have three or more years of eligibility left. At the same time, Washington has 53 returning lettermen and, not counting specialists, 32 different Huskies have started at least one game during their career, entering the 2017 season.
RETURNS ON FIRE: Since the arrival of coach Chris Petersen and his staff prior to the 2014 season, Washington has had five kickoff returns for touchdowns (four by John Ross and one by Keishawn Bierria) and eight punt returns for TDs (all by Dante Pettis, good for a share of the NCAA record). Ross actually had five career TDs, but his first came in the 2013 Fight Hunger Bowl, the last game before the start of the Petersen era. Even if you include that Ross TD, you have to back 16 seasons before you count the previous five Husky kick return TDs, and 23 seasons to count the last eight punt returns. Ja'Warren Hooker returned a kick for a score in 1997. Then, from 1998 to 2033, the Huskies had five: Ross in 2013, Louis Rankin in 2007, Roc Alexander in 2001, Paul Arnold in 1999 and Touré Butler in 1998. As for punt returns, Beno Bryant had three punt return TDs in 1990, and another in 1991. O.J. Simpson Youth Jersey Since then, over 23 seasons (1991-2013), the Huskies had just six more: Jesse Callier in 2011, Chris Stevens in 2006, Charles Frederick in 2003 and (2001), Joe Jarzynka in 1998), and Dave Janoski in 1996 – and two of those (Callier & Stevens) were on blocked punts, so not "traditional" punt returns. What's more? Since Petersen's arrival, the Huskies haven't allowed a single punt or kick return for a score.
