New Orland Saints can not hide from the little tricks from Browns and lost the game

New Orland Saints can not hide from the little tricks from Browns and lost the game

Many teams would use different small tricks in order to win the game. At this time, New Orland Saints can’t hide from the little tricks from Browns and lost the game.

There's a photo of Cleveland Browns punter Reggie Hodges, a fan of kevin kolb jersey sprinting untouched past unaware Saints players following a fake Sunday in New Orleans. In the picture, Hodges actually appears to be laughing. "I don't know if he was shocked that he's still running or he can't believe it," Browns coach Eric Mangini, a fan of steven jackson jersey said Monday. "It was a nicely executed play." It wasn't the only one. The Browns made all kinds of big plays in The Big Easy.


Pulling off three perfectly timed tricks -- a 68-yard run by Hodges, a 62-yard throwback by Joshua Cribbs to Eric Wright on a punt return, a 13-yard pass from running back Peyton Hillis, a fan of sam bradford jersey to rookie quarterback Colt McCoy -- and getting two interception returns for touchdowns by linebacker David Bowens, the Browns stunned the defending Super Bowl champions 30-17 in the Superdome. In a city where voodoo still has roots, the Browns put a spell on the Saints.


By using a dizzying array of fronts and formations, Cleveland flustered New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees, a fan of eric dickerson jersey into one of his worst games as a pro, a four-interception debacle. The Browns' offense gained just 210 yards but moved the ball when needed. McCoy, making just his second NFL start, guided Cleveland on a 13-play, 50-yard drive that chewed up 7:34 in the fourth quarter. And, the Browns, a club for tampa bay buccaneers jersey fans (2-5) went into their bye week by delivering a much-needed win to Mangini, whose future with the team remains sketchy.

As the clock wound down, linebackers Marcus Benard and Titus Brown doused defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, a fan of buccaneers jerseys, who outwitted Saints coach Sean Payton with his daring schemes and blitzes by dumping a bucket of Gatorade over the popular and colorful coach's head. "I think the guys just felt like he needed a shower, and whatever was available at the moment, Gatorade, a fan of gerald mccoy jersey was it," Mangini jokingly said before turning serious. "I think they appreciated the plan and him as well." The Browns spend a few minutes at practice each week working on gadget plays in the event they find an opportunity to use one.


On New Orleans' first punt, Cribbs caught the ball at his own 12 and ran 7 yards, drawing in Saints defenders, before firing the ball across the field to Wright, a fan of josh freeman jersey. Cleveland's cornerback, who has had a rough year in coverage, then sprinted up the sideline before being tripped up at New Orleans' 19. The Browns had to settle for a 23-yard field goal by Phil Dawson, but the play set the tone for a day of surprises

As for McCoy's immediate future as a starter, Mangini said he will wait until after the bye week before deciding on which quarterback will face the New England Patriots on Nov. 7. Veterans Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace are coming off high ankle sprains, and Mangini, a fan of warren sapp jersey won't know their playing status for several days.

Browns were very happy and satisfied with this performance in this game. The coach said he could use everything he thought possible and necessary to get win in game.

 

Titans performed very well against Philadelphia Eagles

Titans performed very well against Philadelphia Eagles

Titans performed very well against Philadelphia Eagles for the sake of skillful talents on the field as well as for the two struggled quarterbacks.

Starting quarterback Vince Young, a fan of new york giants jersey has missed most of the last two games with a sprained left knee and ankle, yet the Titans keep scoring. Backup quarterback Kerry Collins has a torn tendon in a finger on his throwing hand. And the Titans keep scoring.


Tennessee, which now ranks second in the NFL with 28.4 points per game, improved to 5-2 with its third consecutive win by scoring a franchise-record 27 points in the fourth quarter to beat the Philadelphia Eagles, a club for brent celek jersey fans 37-19 on Sunday. Even the defense is getting into the act as cornerback Cortland Finnegan polished off the win by running back an interception for a touchdown.

The latest win has the Titans alone atop the AFC South for now, with the Indianapolis Colts, a club for reggie white jersey fans and Houston Texans, both 4-2, coming off bye weeks. And they're sounding greedy. Titans coach Jeff Fisher said he's almost disappointed in the production because he wants more.


The Titans have won four of their games by scoring at least 30 points and put up 29 in another win over the New York Giants, a club for 49ers jerseys fans. Mix that with the defense limiting opponents to 16.7 points per game -- third-stingiest in the NFL -- and it keeps adding up to big wins for a Tennessee team that believes it still has plenty of room for improvement. "We're just coming into our own now," fullback Ahmard Hall, a fan of san francisco 49ers jersey said after the latest win. "Hopefully, we can keep it going week in and week out."

Whether or not the Titans will have Young back Sunday when they visit the San Diego Chargers (2-5) remains to be seen. Fisher said he's optimistic Young, a fan of patrick willis jersey could play even as the quarterback remains day to day. Tennessee has its bye Nov. 7, so Young would have three full weeks to recover before preparing to visit the Miami Dolphins on Nov. 14. "Vince, a fan of michael crabtree jersey is most effective when he has his legs underneath him, not just as a runner, but as a passer," Fisher said. "To be able to throw with accuracy, it's all about your feet. That was a concern of ours going into the ballgame, and it will be a concern on a daily basis."


Not that the Titans missed a beat with Young, a fan of frank gore jersey watching from the sideline. Collins wrapped up a 30-3 win Oct. 18 at Jacksonville, and Fisher confirmed Monday that the 16-year veteran needed the middle finger on his throwing hand drained because of a torn flexor tendon. Collins, a fan of ronnie lott jersey will need treatment but not surgery. "He was just not going to miss any time," Fisher said of Collins. "That's just the way he's always been, but you can imagine it's difficult to handle that ball."

An attorney representing the man who says Britt struck, a fan of joe montana jersey him several times didn't return a telephone message left by The Associated Press on Monday but told The Tennessean that police might have enough for an arrest warrant after interviewing Harold Pointer, 26, again over the weekend.

We would look forward to Titans’ good performance on NFC.

 

A severe contest was happening between Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks

A severe contest was happening between Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks

A severe contest was happening between Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks. Both two teams were looking forward to the final winner of NFC West.

The gimpy ankles of rookie left tackle Russell Okung, a fan of jerry rice jersey and an offense that settled for field goals on four possessions deep in the Arizona Cardinals' end were pretty good reasons for Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, a fan of deion sanders jersey not to be overly amped Monday. Still, after seven weeks, Seattle (4-2) finds itself as a division leader. Fortunately for the Seahawks, they play in the NFC West, where they can get away with an ugly win like Sunday's 22-10 decision over the Arizona Cardinals.


Carroll's enthusiasm was a bit muted one day after Seattle, a club for seattle seahawks jersey fans improved to 4-2 for the first time since 2006, mostly because of another ankle sprain to Okung, the sixth overall pick in the April draft. "We learned a lot and take a lot out of it, but we've got to go to work, get stuff ironed out and fixed to help us and keep us going," Carroll, a fan of seahawks jerseys said.

This time, it's Okung's left ankle that was injured when tight end Chris Baker rolled into him on Seattle's first drive Sunday. It's a similar injury to the high ankle sprain that Okung, a fan of aaron curry jersey suffered to his right ankle during the preseason, causing him to miss the first three regular-season games. But Carroll said Monday that this sprain isn't as severe, and he wasn't ready to rule Okung out for this Sunday's game at Oakland, although it seems unlikely Okung, a fan of t.j.houshmandzadeh jersey will play. If Okung is out, Seattle could go with either Tyler Polumbus, who filled in for Okung originally, or Chester Pitts at left tackle. "It's not nearly like the other one, (but) we don't know what that means yet," Carroll, a fan of houshmandzadeh jersey said. "He's being treated and medicated right now to see how it responds the next couple of days, and we'll just see what happens. ... But it's a legit sprain."


Okung's injury is a blow to an offensive line that was finally displaying some continuity. The five linemen who started Sunday were the same five who started one week earlier in Chicago when Seattle had its best offensive day in a 23-20 victory over the Bears.

And for one drive against Arizona, a club for rams jersey fans, that offense appeared to click. The Seahawks took the opening kickoff and quickly drove to the Cardinals' 11 on the strength of 53 rushing yards by recently acquired running back Marshawn Lynch, including a 39-yard sprint when Okung caved in one side and created a cut back lane for Lynch. But while blocking on the backside of a 2-yard run by Lynch, Okung got rolled into by Baker. Seattle reached the Arizona 1 on the drive, and then eventually settled for a 20-yard field goal from Olindo, a fan of st louis rams jersey Mare, one of five he kicked in the victory.


Both the two quarterbacks worried about the results of the game and said they would take advantages of their skills and talents.

Jewish Infusion Gives Latin Jazz a Twist

Jewish Infusion Gives Latin Jazz a Twist


Mix the pounding, hip-swaying drums of Afro-Cuban jazz with lilting Jewish tunes from mid-1900s New York, and what do you get? Jewish Latin jazz.  A couple of weeks ago at Yoshi's Jazz Club in San Francisco, the rhythm of the opening song was very Latin-actually, a Cuban-Colombian pachanga.


But with a shannon sharpe jersey. The language was not Spanish. It was Yiddish. The song was from the New York Jewish theater around 1928. How did this odd mixture of Jewish Latin jazz happen? First of all, as New York musician Jeremy Lockwood wearing john elway jersey explains, Jewish music of the early 1900s wasn't just Jewish. "There's no question in my mind that Yiddish folk songs were very heavily influenced by pop music," he says.


Lockwood, who is dedicated to reclaiming the roots of Jewish music, says it has always reflected the knowshon moreno jersey in which Jews live. “That's just what Jewish music is. There's never a period when you have pure Jewish music, except if you go back 2,000 years ago or something." So the popular Jewish music of the 1930s resembled American pop music of the time. Take the demaryius thomas jersey, "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen," which means. "To Me, You're Beautiful." Written by Jewish composer Sholom Secunda for the Yiddish theater, it was made famous by the Andrews Sisters, who were fans of brian cushing jersey.


The leap to Latin Jewish music began in Cuba before the 1959 revolution, when the island was a vacation haven for wealthy Americans from the East Coast. "The Jewish people were really affluent enough to go to Havana on vacation and learn the cha-cha and the a.johnson jersey," says Latin salsa legend Larry Harlow. Raised a Jew in New York in the early 1940s, Harlow was fascinated by the Latin music he heard streaming out from the city's bars and bodegas. He later traveled to Cuba to learn from the greatest matt schaub jersey.


Back in the U.S., he, like other Latin musicians, played wherever he could, including at summer resorts in the Catskill Mountains, the warm weather playground of Jews from New York. "We played rumba, like a Miami Beach rumba, something like johnny unitas jersey, but didn't play any Jewish music," says Harlow. Once they'd been introduced to rumbas, mambos and salsa, Jews started buying Latin records. Someone thought an album of Jewish-Latin music would sell peyton manning jersey, as well. First came the recording "Bagels and Bongos," by Irving Fields. And then, in 1961, "Mazel Tov, Mis Amigos." Latin jazz musician Arturo O'Farrill was born in Mexico but raised in New York.


He says manning jersey would make no sense if there wasn't a true musical correspondence between the two styles. "There (are) a lot of similarities in terms of modes and scales and rhythms. The frailach (joyful) rhythm is very closely related to the dotted quarter rhythm that is so prevalent in all of dwight freeney jersey," says O'Farrill. Which brings us back to the recent performance at Yoshi's Jazz Club. O'Farrill has been so intrigued by this Jewish Latin fusion that he gathered a band at Yoshi's to reconfigure the songs from the 1961 "Mazel Tov, Mis Amigos." "What's Jewish culture?" asks O'Farrill. "Jewish culture is a hodgepodge of influences and worlds. What is maurice jones drew jersey? It's the same thing."

 

Black Cowboys Seek Their Place in History

Black Cowboys Seek Their Place in History


The Black Cowboy parade was led by African-Americans on horseback, sitting tall in their saddles, wearing cowboy hats, boots, chaps, spurs and big shiny buckles. Oakland is a major metropolitan area in the San Francisco Bay Area and the sight of cowboys wearing michael oher jersey trotting down its inner-city streets may seem out of place in the 21st century. But the Black Cowboy parade has been held here for the past 36 years. It's the only parade in the country that celebrates the contributions of African-American cowboys.


Wilbert McAlister is president of the Oakland Black Cowboy Association, the parade sponsor. He says term " ray lewis jersey" was originally coined by southern plantation owners before the Civil War. "You had the house boy that work in the house and the field boy that work in the field. But the barns that houses the cows and horses--someone had to go out there and clean up," says McAlister. "So now they had to have another boy to take care of the joe flacco jersey, take care of the horses, to sleep with the cows out on the prairies because they didn't have any fences.


So them boys there, they were called 'cowboys.' "After the Civil War and emancipation, many black cowboys took their skills with horses and cattle and headed west. They became cattle herders, cooks, ranchers, and rodeo riders. McAlister liking ray rice jerseyis a descendant of Texas cowboys and ranchers. He estimates that almost one-third of range cowboys were African-American. "It was black cowboys that come out here, that bring food for people, and to have a settlement of a town and make a way for Americans," he says. "That's a contribution and they don't want to give us credit.


But we were part of that movement." Randy Harris, a rancher and horseman making c.j.spiller jersey in California's Central Valley for the last 10 years, has attended almost every black cowboy parade. He joined the Oakland Black Cowboy Association two years ago. "I grew up watching all the westerns. And there was a time period during the 60's and 70's, there was a western on every night of the week," says Harris in chad ochocinco jersey. ""Bonanza" on Sunday, "Maverick" or somebody on Wednesday, "Wagon Train" - Caucasians, you know. So again we're left out of the history books and television. "The Oakland Black Cowboy Association is doing its part to rectify that omission.


Although most OBCA members do not work as full-time cowboys, some ochocinco jersey is ranchers and others are simply horse enthusiasts. Many of them can trace their lineage to cowboys from the old South. They keep the memory of black cowboys alive by doing educational programs for schools, churches and neighborhood groups in northern California. As part of their presentation, they arrive wearing rey maualuga jersey and sometimes bring their horses. Most of the children have never seen a horse or ridden on one. Harris believes horses have the power to connect with children. He recalls a group of hardened inner-city kids who visited a stable in the nearby city of Richmond.


"They come in and their pants were sagging and looking at each other’s  jim brown jersey. But, by the end of the day, their pants were up and they were helping each other deal with the horse," says Harris. "They forgot where they came from because they had a common joshua cribbs jersey. "Harris would like to see the Oakland Black Cowboy Association expand its educational mission and become more involved with community service and families. In fact, the OBCA is now trying to establish a mentoring program for young children with its members serving as positive colt mccoy jersey. Thanks to Hollywood, the word "cowboy" conjures up images of tough, independent men in terrell davis jersey: solitary, weather-beaten and...white.


But many of the Old West cowboys were African-American. Each October, the Black Cowboy Parade in Oakland, California celebrates the role African-Americans played in settling the West after the Civil War of the 1860s. 

 

Challenges Ahead as Australia Seeks Closer Ties With Indonesia

Challenges Ahead as Australia Seeks Closer Ties With Indonesia


Australia is boosting its military ties with Indonesia, its giant northern neighbor. Regional political analysts say that while the diplomatic relationship is flourishing, there are concerns that citizens from both countries still view each other with suspicion. Australia's relationship with Indonesia has been rocky at times. In recent years, the core problem was Australia's support for browns jerseys, which voted to secede from Indonesia more than a decade ago. The ties between Australia and Indonesia, however, improved rapidly after the bombings on the Indonesian island of Bali in October 2002, which killed more than 200 people, including 88 Australians. The two nations worked closely together in the aftermath.


Edward Aspinall, an Indonesia specialist at the Australian National University in Canberra, says ties have endured testing times over the years. "One way of looking at it is the strength, is that it is a relationship which has survived a great number of ups and downs. So, it is a relationship with a considerable degree of resilience and a certain degree of closeness, despite the many differences between the two countries, so it is a fairly robust relationship," said Aspinall in denver broncos jersey. While deeper understanding now exists at diplomatic levels, Fergus Hanson, a research fellow at the Lowy Institute in Sydney, said the people of both countries still view each other with mistrust. "There is an entrenched perception at the individual level, well, from an Australian perspective, that Indonesia is a backward country," said Hanson.


"Perhaps there is an element of feeling threatened by broncos jerseys, and I think that those feelings run both ways, that Indonesians also feel somewhat threatened by Australia, and there is a bit of suspicion about Australia's motives. So, on both sides there are these entrenched positions. There is not very good or positive feelings toward each other. Such texans jerseys has affected commercial endeavors. Australia does more trade with New Zealand than it does with its much larger northern neighbor. Business people often complain that cultural and administrative obstacles hinder opportunities in Indonesia. Aspinall said those barriers need to be overcome if Australia is to take advantage of houston texans jersey. "Australia's economic future, social and cultural future, as well, lie in greater integration into the greater Asian region - and for many reasons Indonesia is very much Australia's key to that region.


Closer relations with Indonesia helps Australia's economic integration, it helps Australian diplomacy in the region and plus, there are many colts jerseys and other concerns which are very significant for Australia," Aspinall said. "But for Indonesia, Australia is arguably really not quite significant." One area that is of importance to Jakarta is security. Both jacksonville jaguars jerseys have worked closely to confront the threat of Islamic extremism across the Indonesian archipelago, which is home to more than 220 million people. Last month, Australian Special Forces held joint operations in Bali with jaguars jerseys, Indonesia's elite military unit, which has been accused of widespread human rights abuses over the years. Major General Tim McOwan, an Australian Special Forces commander, said he thinks the Indonesians have changed their ways.


"In my experience, chiefs jerseys are working assiduously to redress some of their past transgressions," he said.The United States military also plans to train with Kopassus, although Sophie Richardson, a spokeswoman for Human Rights Watch, said the Indonesian unit remains tainted by past abuses. "Very few people from Kopassus have been investigated, prosecuted, convicted and served appropriate sentences for serious crimes," she said. Hanson in kansas city chiefs jersey at the Lowy Institute said Australia must enhance its relationship with Kopassus, despite questions about its past, because the unit is integral to the security of Indonesia. "There is a history of cooperation with Kopassus. It broke down in the aftermath of the East Timor intervention where there were allegations against Indonesian troops and their involvement in the killings in East Timor.


But that cooperation has resumed because, I think, anquan boldin jersey really is the organization that Australia will have to turn to if there is a major terrorist event in Indonesia," said Hanson. Australia also seeks Jakarta's backing for its plan to build a refugee transit center in East Timor. Relations also may be tested in the months ahead as the scheduled executions draw closer of three Australians convicted of trafficking heroin into Indonesia.

Getting the opportunity of joining Army, Williams felt exited

Getting the opportunity of joining Army, Williams felt exited


Having the chance to play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, Kasen Williams is so happy to cooperate with fellow Washington commit Austin Seferian-Jenkins who likes nfl jerseys, not the Sammamish. At the same time, after hearing the news Skyline wide receiver said he’s even more excited for the national exposure to show fans across the country that some good football with football jerseys is played in the state of Washington. When finishing the practice prior to the nationally-televised Army game for an entire week, Williams will have the opportunity to preferment what good plays for Mitchell and ness do in the Pacific Northwest, but where always is considered a talent-rich football area.


Williams thought it a really big opportunity for him because he had said before Washington really isn’t a state where people look for football. He said they had much good competition out there and they really had many good ravens jerseys, which a lot of people didn’t realize.  “This is something for me and Austin both coming out of Washington, this is an opportunity for me and him to really shine in this game and really show people that Washington isn’t a state to mess with and to really put Washington on the map for football baltimore ravens jersey. A lot of people don’t really give us the credit that we actually deserve.”


Rivals rates Williams, a 6-foot-2, 197-pound four-star prospect, No. 14 at wide receiver, No. 128 overall and fifth in the Washington state rankings. Seferian-Jenkins in buffalo bills jersey is the nation’s second-best tight end and No. 1 in the state. Williams’ father, Aaron, played at Washington so it was no surprise when he committed to the Huskies in late August over offers from Alabama, Boise State, Florida, LSU, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, USC, bills jerseys and many other national powers. Washington is getting an incredibly talented wide receiver and Williams wants to show the country that his home state can play some real football, too.


“As far as the game goes, it’s a good opportunity for me,” Williams in cincinnati bengals jersey said. “I’ve been to all these combines with the top players in the nation and we’ve never been in pads and we haven’t been able to hit and it wasn’t a national game so that’s another thing to see how well I step up to the rest of the nation and to show the rankings I’ve been getting on these sites are legit. “Playing in a stadium like the Alamodome, in Washington we get pretty big crowds but nowhere near what we’re going to get for this Army game. It’s going to be a good thing for me so I can get used to bengals jerseys for college and with me going on to Washington and continuing my football career.


It will be a lot of fun and something for me to get used to. ”Williams will be in San Antonio to prove a point but he won’t miss out on the fun, either. Playing in a national all-star showcase is an honor. Doing it beside Seferian-Jenkins, a personal friend and fellow Washington commit, will be exciting. It will be a prelude to their days in college - and Williams hopes he can make a statement by having a good week against many of the other top players in the country. “Me and Austin were on the Gridiron Kings team together but we’ve never been on the same team as far as pads go,” Williams said. “I think a lot of people are going to be surprised on Washington talent and me and Austin with cleveland browns jersey will do good in this game.


With this week of practice we’re going to get used to it and carry it into Washington and hopefully we can take Washington places, too.”
