Perspective is a wonderful thing. It allows you to stand back and view a wider picture but sometimes something catches your eye and you want to see it Akiem Hicks Jersey close up and understand why it does what it does and what caught my eye was the article .Now Im a woman who writes about football. I dont feel the need to say that sentence very often, unlike Omid Djalili who starts every comedy sketch with As an Iranian I, I dont say it because I feel it is superfluous but this is one of times I feel compelled to put my gender in context with my pa sion, the pa sion of football.According to the article there was no evidence of sexism in football from the BBC documentary. I agree that the programme was quite woolly but to say there was no evidence is clearly blind, deaf and dumb.There are a number of women working in the upper echelons of football but they are outnumbered by men. I agree that a majority of working women dont want to work in football but that doesnt mean that the women that do should be treated as second cla s citizens. Women that have been employed to carry out a role but have been hindered because of their gender and the evidence in the programme showed some have been locked out of pre s conferences or meetings or there have been signs put up saying No Women Beyond This Point within the clubs. You might as well hand them Panda Pops and bags of crisps and sit them out in the car park whilst the grown ups talk. Its ridiculous and illegal.Now lets talk about banter. I bloody love banter. I dish out as much as I get back. When a bloke starts calling me names I know that he has reached his limit and has resulted to ill conceived insults instead. When some men find out Im into football their first response is to challenge me with some form of sports quiz. Apparently knowing what the offside rule is immediately qualifies you for your coaching badges in some mens eyes. My husband on the other hand, who had little interest in football, was brought into the conversation without a batter of an eyelid. I have to prove myself to be worthy of being a football fan. A little sexist maybe??What often happens is that when these men realise my level of knowledge of the Bosman ruling they get a little turned on, which means I can never win because now theyre not thinking about football they are concentrating on what cup size I am. Heres a revelation for you. I dont watch the womens game. Why? I dont enjoy it. That doesnt make me sexist against my own gender its purely a matter of enjoyment. Why I should have to write about something I dont enjoy and Sian Ma sey have to officiate womens games if she doesnt want to, as indicated in the article?Sian Ma sey has proved she is an excellent official. I have no problem with any woman being an official at the match but nor am I going to give her an easy time if she does get a decision wrong. The difference isnt whether theyre black, white, tangerine or have a vagina, its whether theyre competent and consistent in how they referee.Then we come to female sports presenters. There are some brilliant ones Jacqui Oatley (not Oakley) and Gabby Logan, spring to mind because their delivery is knowledgeable and measured. I think the most sexist part of the article in question was when the writer said about Gabby Logan just be thankful you have a job in the game you profe s to love, even though you only got it in the first place thanks to your late father and your good looks. Well Im sure the most shocking aspect of that statement for Gabby would be to find out that her father is dead not that she got a job because shes pretty.There are however some extremely shrill female commentators that make your ears bleed when there is a build up in play. Give me Alan Green and Gabby Logan any day of the week (but not Garth Crookes).So to Karen Brady. Im afraid I cant defend her because I think shes bent.Lets leave the final words to the author of the article.You see that is the thing that really irritates me. Women want to be part of this mans world yet are the first to complain when we act like men! So now we have to change the way we have always behaved to fit in around them.I would say no you have no obligation to change but with attitudes as antiquated as that the modern world will deem you irrelevant anyway. Evidence of sexisim in football may not have been fully conveyed in the documentary but this article more than made a case for it, love. Tongue firmly in cheek. David Montgomery Jersey

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Cardale Jones' smile was contagious as a Gatorade bath splashed down on head coach Urban Meyer following Ohio State's in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game on Monday night.The quarterback's meteoric rise from third-stringer to starting quarterback for a national title winner is the stuff that those around the state of Ohio will talk about for decades to come. He won three straight games against the three 2014 Heisman Trophy finalists as an underdog, earning comparisons to and due to his size and arm strength.His quick rise has been followed by questions as to whether the draft-eligible redshirt sophomore will cut short his stay in Columbus. When asked after the title game whether he will return for another year with the Buckeyes, the affable signal-caller left the door open to capitalizing on his intriguing talents at the next level."I'm not going to say 'definitely,'" Jones said. "(The NFL) is something that I'll consider. My most important focus is getting my degree."Jones attended Fork Union Military Academy for Kyle Allen Jersey one semester, so he would be the required three years removed from high school to apply for early entry into the 2015 . If he decides to return to OSU, he faces a potentially tough battle at retaining his starting job, despite leading the team to the title, due to the presence of former starter J.T. Barrett and po sibly even two-time Big Ten Player of the Year Braxton Miller.Would Jones accept returning to a backup role?"Now that's a good question," Jones said. "I don't know."The potential battle to be the starter for the defending national champions in 2015 was already plenty intriguing. Jones' decision before the Jan. 15 deadline for undercla smen to apply for early entry could just add fuel to the already intense QB fire for the Buckeyes.Here are nine other things we learned from Monday night's championship game:2. Ezekiel Elliott is one of the most dynamic rushing talents in the college game. The Buckeyes' sophomore gashed Wisconsin, Alabama and Oregon for a combined 696 yards in three postseason games. If TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin put himself in the 2015 Heisman Trophy conversation with a thrashing of Ole Mi s in the Peach Bowl, Elliott put himself in the center of it.3. Dignitary dish: Among the notables on hand for the game were Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James, a big Ohio State supporter, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who is a member of the College Football Playoff selection committee, and of course, Nike CEO and Ducks fan Phil Knight.4. Somewhere, Kaelin Clay was yelling on his couch at the replay officials. Oregon receiver Byron Marshall apparently learned nothing from Utah's Clay, who lost a touchdown against Oregon earlier this season by inexplicably . Marshall did pretty much the same thing against the Buckeyes, but unlike Clay, Marshall had his touchdown upheld on replay review.5. Chris Ash didn't ask to face all three Heisman Trophy finalists, but that's the hand he was dealt. The Ohio State co-defensive coordinator faced Wisconsin's Melvin Gordon, Alabama's Amari Cooper, and Oregon's Marcus Mariota -- the trio who went to New York in December as Heisman finalists -- in three consecutive postseason games. How did they fare? Gordon was held to 76 yards on 26 carries in the Big Ten title game, his second-lowest total of the season; Cooper was limited to 71 yards on nine catches in the CFP semifinal; Mariota connected on 24 of 37 pa ses for 333 yards and a pair of touchdowns.6. OSU athletic director says QB Braxton Miller is returning. Miller, the two-time Big Ten Player of the Year, was seen celebrating with his teammates after their triumphant win over Oregon, but rumors continue to swirl that he'll transfer to another program for his final collegiate season in 2015. However, Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said Monday that Miller told him he was coming back to Columbus for next season. "Braxton has told me he's coming back," Smith said. "I don't know what upcoming decision he's got."7. Buckeyes defensive tackle MichaelBennett had a quiet night. At least, on the field. The senior leader of the OSU defensive line recorded an a sisted tackle on Oregon's opening touchdown drive to start the game, but didn't make a stop the rest of the night.8. Whatever flaws NFL scouts find in Ohio State receiver DevinSmith's game, his ability to stretch the field won't be one of them. Smith made one grab for 45 yards against the Ducks, pushing his average per catch for the season to a whopping 28.2 yards (33 for 931).9. Pair of Oregon undercla smen still unsure of next steps. Ducks defensive linemen DeForest Buckner and Arik Armstead have quickly jumped onto NFL radars thanks to their play in the Ducks' run to the title game. However, neither was ready to announce a draft decision Monday night. "I'm not focused on that right now, I'm just trying to soak it all in with my teammates," Buckner said. "I got an evaluation back but I'm just not going to talk about it, it's not a subject in my head right now." Armstead, considered to be the better prospect of the two, said he had not even received his evaluation from the Advisory Board. "I haven't made a decision yet. I'll have to sit down with my family and pray about it," Armstead said. "It's a tough decision I'm going to have to make."10. Urban Meyer thinks Marcus Mariota will be great in the NFL. over Mariota's intentions for the 2015 , and if he decides to apply for early entry, he'll have one fan for sure in . After containing the Heisman Trophy winner as best as he could to earn a third national title, the veteran coach noted there were plenty of traits the Ducks' signal-caller has that will translate to the next level. "Oh sure," Meyer said. "He'll be a great NFL player."Follow on Twitter __. Desmond King II Jersey

The Bears lost yet another close game on Sunday, coming Tyler Bass Jersey up short against the Falcons, but the health of quarterback Justin Fields has become a bigger concern.Fields was slow to get up after a hit by Dee Alford late in the fourth quarter and was seen holding his non-throwing shoulder while walking to the sidelines.The second-year quarterback already appeared to be banged up before that final drive. Fields suffered an apparent hamstring injury earlier in the game and had a bit of a limp in the fourth quarter.Fields would throw a game-ending interception two plays after taking the hit to his shoulder. He was attempting to lead a game-tying or game-winning drive after the Falcons took a 27-24 lead, but the turnover sealed the Bears' fourth consecutive lo s.MORE:Here's what you need to know about Fields' condition:Fields was still holding his left shoulder as he walked into the locker room. Per reports, he skipped postgame handshakes and went right to the locker room as soon as the game ended.Bears QB Justin Fields held his left shoulder as he walked down the sideline toward the locker room after the game. He didn't take the field for handshakes and whatnot. Adam Jahns (@adamjahns) Fields was carted in for medical testing on his shoulder.Bears QB Justin Fields carted off for further evaluation after the game. Hes still holding his left shoulder. Adam Jahns (@adamjahns) On Monday, Coach Matt Eberflus said that the injury would keep Fields "day to day," and that the team would know more come Wednesday.Bears coach Matt Eberflus is calling Justin Fields' left shoulder injury "day to day." Says he's not going to give more info on it til Wednesday. Colleen Kane (@ChiTribKane) Following the game, Eberflus offer any other details, telling reporters Fields' shoulder "got dinged" and doctors are "taking care of it."Apparently the injury was a bit more involved than that. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Monday that Fields finished the game with a dislocated shoulder. QB Justin Fields suffered a left shoulder dislocation, sources say, a painful injury he somehow played through on Sunday. Coach Matt Eberflus described Fields as day-to-day. His status for this Sunday is still to be determined. Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) Fields told reporters postgame that his shoulder was still hurting, adding "the pain right now is pretty bad." He also said he was cramping during the game and received IV treatment, which may explain what looked like a hamstring injury.The pain right now is pretty bad. Brad Biggs (@BradBiggs) Fields looks like a quarterback who could use a bye week as he deals with multiple injuries, but the Bears have the latest bye week po sible in Week 14. Chicago travels to face the Jets next Sunday before hosting the Packers in Week 13.MORE:While Fields has played much better as the season has progre sed, there's little reason for the Bears to risk his health at 3-8. Chicago has lost four consecutive games and is tied with Carolina for the NFC's worst record.1. Justin FieldsFields has ignited the Bears' offense lately with a dynamic rushing ability and improved pa sing, but it hasn't translated to wins over the past month. His mobility naturally raises his risk of injury, and Sunday's game showed exactly that.2. Trevor SiemianSiemian is first in line if Fields is forced to mi s any time. The 30-year-old veteran has started games with the Broncos, Jets and Saints, and he does have a respectable 41:27 career touchdown-interception ratio.3. Nathan PetermanPeterman would be elevated from the practice squad as Siemian's backup if Fields is forced to mi s any time. Peterman struggled badly with turnovers acro s four starts with the Bills earlier in his career and hasn't thrown an NFL pa s since 2020. Buffalo Bills Men Jersey

The Raiders and Chiefs close out Week 5 on Monday night in what should be a high-scoring AFC West showdown. With no shortage of potential stud and sleeper picks for FanDuel single-game contests, NFL DFS players will have a fun-but-challenging time putting together their lineups for MNF tournaments.Our strategy involves fading the best receiving options on both teams. It's not for everyone, but with both QBs and two other top pa s-catchers in our lineup, we feel like we can absorb the risk and still have a good shot at a high-scoring roster. We're furthering the differentiation with a big-play backup RB who could take this lineup to the next level with a solid performance.LIVE:Before diving into our FanDuel DFS lineup for Monday Night Football, here are the notable scoring settings for FanDuel single-game contests:The point total for the "MVP" is multiplied by 1.5, but he doesn't cost any additional money like the "Captain" in DraftKings Showdown contests.FanDuel's default scoring ishalf-point PPR andfour-point pa sing TDs.Unlike on DraftKings, FanDuel featuresbonuses for 300-yard/100-yard games.MORE FD SINGLE GAME: MVP (1.5x points): TE Darren Waller, Raiders ($10,500 Ainias Smith Jersey )Waller hasn't done much this year, so we're hoping he's off the MVP radar for most DFS players. He still sees fairly steady targets, and he has a history of burning the Chiefs. Obviously, we need a huge game from Waller for this lineup to pay off, but we think he can deliver in a favorable matchup against a Kansas City defense allowing the 10th-most FanDuel points to TEs.MORE MNF: | FLEX QB Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs ($17,500)Mahomes is a must-start against Vegas' 24th-ranked pa s defense, and he'll likely be the most popular MVP pick. Kansas City mixes in its run game enough that we think Mahomes can have a good-but-not-great performance, which will hopefully minimize the risk of not making him our MVP (and not having Travis Kelce).WEEK 6 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | FLEX QB Derek Carr, Raiders ($15,000)With Waller as our MVP, we have to include Carr, who's disappointed despite three games with at least 250 pa sing yards and multiple touchdowns. For this lineup to really pay off, we need at least one TD and probably 100 of Carr's yards to go to Waller, but including the Raiders' signal-caller somewhat guards against a Davante Adams touchdown, too.WEEK 6 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | FLEX WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, Chiefs ($10,000)We're hoping Smith-Schuster's "questionable" tag scares people off, but we're not too worried considering he practiced in full most of the week. JuJu is a better play on DraftKings where it's full-point PPR, but the veteran wide receiver has been a dependable target for Mahomes this year, getting eight looks in three-of-four games. In this favorable matchup against a Vegas defense that allows one WR touchdown/game, Smith-Schuster has a decent shot of finding the end zone for the first time all year.FLEX RB Isiah Pacheco, Chiefs ($7,000)This is a risky pick, but our strategy relies on the Chiefs running a little more than usual. Because we paid up for both QBs and Waller, we have to save somewhere, so we're taking a flier on Pacheco, who seemingly took over as Kansas City's primary backup last week (season-high 17 snaps) and has shown on two separate occasions this year that he can thrive in garbage time (62 yards, TD in Week 1 and 63 yards in Week 4). We're not nece sarily banking on a lot of fourth-quarter carries, but Pacheco has great burst and can break a big play at any time -- including on kickoffs. Darian Kinnard Jersey

has impo sible shoes to fill as the ' potential starting quarterback -- after all, is arguably the greatest quarterback of all time. Newton hasn't even won the starting job in New England yet, but the Patriots' newest quarterback has already made a positive impre sion on Bill Belichick.That's half the battle."We've done a lot of meetings, a lot of walkthroughs," Belichick said on a conference call with reporters, "A lot of information has been transferred to all the players. He's worked very hard, I'd say, as all our players have. We have a hard-working group. Those guys are ready Bobby Brown III Jersey to go and we've put in some long days. They've been very attentive during the proce s."Belichick didn't limit his praise to just Newton, giving all the quarterbacks in the room the same compliment."I'd say all the quarterbacks, at that position, those guys have been locked in, been focused, worked extremely hard. All four of them," Belichick said. "When they all get in the huddle, everybody has a lot of confidence in what they're able to do, and the information they have to give the team. Play-calls, adjustments, audibles, protection adjustments, things like that."But again, we haven't played anywhere near the speed we're going to be playing at so we'll see how it all comes together at that point. But Cam's a hard-working kid. He really is." CAR QB #1 CMP%56.2YDs572TD0INT1YD/Att6.43Newton is battlingfor the starting job, although the former MVP already has the upper hand.the Patriots are "exceedingly positive about the veteran quarterback both physically and mentally. Josh McDaniels is going to unleash and unlock the hulking QB." The Patriots will start full-padded practice next week, but Newton already has an opportunity to impre s Belichick even more over the weekend. New England is starting up-tempo practices, which means Newton will get to read actual defenses and progre s in his post-snap reads.That's the next step for Newton in this proce s, a lengthy one toward revitalizing his career.

quarterback was on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday night and you'll never gue s what he talked about. The underpaid signal-caller, who is reportedly looking to become the highest-paid player in the NFL, was questioned about what seems to be a very significant impa se between himself and the when it comes to value perception."You have made enough money for them," host Jimmy Kimmel said. "I think it's OK for them to pay you. You want to be the highest-paid player Shane Lemieux Jersey in football, correct?" In response, Wilson answered: "I just want to be paid based off my play. It will all work out in the end. We'll figure it out."Wilson was also asked by the talk show host if he'd consider playing both football and baseball if his baseball contract ever ended up in the hands of the Seattle Mariners (the Texas Rangers currently hold his rights)."I would definitely consider it," he said.And who says the NFL isn't a bustling source of news all summer long?Wilson has spent a lot of time and effort molding himself into the public figure he is today. The resolve he's known for will certainly be tested over the coming months.
