gainst Treviso on Friday night, suggestin
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton?says he believes he was justified in taking a 12 flag from a Seattle fan, crumpling it up and tossing it after last seasons home playoff game against the?Seahawks.Where was the flag at? Was it at our house? Newton asked after practice Thursday at San Jose State University, where the Panthers are preparing for Sunday nights game at Seattle.?Newtons response came a day after Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman?bristled in recalling Newtons move, calling it karma that the Panthers (4-7) dont appear headed for the playoffs.Its irrelevant what he says right now, Newton said. I have a lot of respect for Richard. I dont think that has nothing to do with karma that another opposing teams flag was in my stadium.Shermans comment came when he was asked by reporters in Seattle if Newton crossed the line with his gesture.Yeah, he probably did, Sherman said. I guess karma gets you. It doesnt look like youre going to be in the playoffs this year.Carolina beat Seattle twice last season, 27-23 during the regular season at CenturyLink Field and 31-24 in the NFC divisional playoff game at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.The teams have met in the playoffs each of the past two seasons, but only Seattle (7-3-1) appears headed back this season.Newton mentioned Sherman one other time on Thursday, this during an exchange about whether he has spent time with Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry during his time in California.Nunya, Newton said, seeming to imply it was none of the medias business.When asked jokingly if he might try to get Curry to play wideout for the Panthers, Newton said, Im going to try to take Richard Sherman. Just joking.Curry grew up in Charlotte and is a huge fan of the Panthers.Asked if he was going to watch Curry and the Warriors face the Houston Rockets Thursday in Oakland, Newton again said, Nunya.Newton did in fact attend the game, wearing a Warriors jacket and cap.? http://www.bengalsrookiestore.com/Benga ... en-Jersey/ . The move comes after the Canadiens were approached by the Buffalo Sabres for permission to speak to Dudley - a former Sabres player and head coach. "The Sabres called for permission and I appreciate that, Im flattered, Dudley told TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun of ESPN. http://www.bengalsrookiestore.com/Benga ... ap-Jersey/ . Francis told several hundred members of the European Olympic Committees that when sport "is considered only in economic terms and consequently for victory at every cost . http://www.bengalsrookiestore.com/Benga ... ka-Jersey/ . The parade and rally were held to celebrate the Saskatchewan Roughriders 45-23 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Sunday in the CFLs championship game. http://www.bengalsrookiestore.com/Benga ... ns-Jersey/ . -- Jacksonville wide receiver Cecil Shorts will likely be a game-time decision whether hell play Sunday in the Jaguars home game against the San Diego Chargers. http://www.bengalsrookiestore.com/Benga ... is-Jersey/ .C. -- Rodney Hood connected from all over the court while freshman Jabari Parker was busy swatting shots and scoring in transition. CARDIFF, Wales -- Wales woke up on Saturday morning targeting the worlds top four, and with revenge against Australia very much on their collective mind.On arriving at the Principality Stadium, fans were implored to cheer on the team as red flags emblazoned with the word TRY were left dotted around the ground.But, while some fantastic attacking rugby did follow before those same supporters filed out into the Cardiff evening, it was played almost exclusively by players wearing gold. The Wallabies frenetic first-half assault on the Welsh line - which could have yielded a far greater margin of victory than the 32-8 final score - secured Australias 12th successive win in this fixture and only highlighted just how far Wales currently are from achieving their goal.The score shows we struggled a little bit in defence in the first half, Ross Moriarty admitted afterwards.You could obviously tell they had been together for a long time, on the back of the [Rugby] Championship. You could see how experienced and well-drilled they were.The Gloucester back-rower added: Obviously it was quick and its not comfortable when youre a forward coming out of the scrum and theyre making quite a decent gain off the first phase.Of course, there were mitigating factors. Interim head coach Rob Howley was already without Sam Warburton, Alun Wyn Jones and Taulupe Faletau when Jonathan Davies withdrew with a tight hamstring hours before kick-off.Scott Williams introduction from outside of the match-day squad would have disrupted defensive systems in a team that already featured Moriarty playing out of position at No. 8.But that does not completely explain how a side that not too long ago prided itself on its defence has shipped 26 tries in their last five Test matches.At times it looked as though the Wallabies were playing a different game to their hosts, as a sparsely populated Principality Stadium was subdued by the running lines of Bernard Foley, Tevita Kuridrani and Israel Folau.Australia were able to carve through the Welsh defence with such alarming ease that it was a surprise that the hosts were able to hold out when Dan Biggar went into the bin for 10 minutes.They were cutting us quite well in the backs, Moriarty conceded. A bit of composure in our defence and I think we would have been alright.dddddddddddd.The veracity of Australias start in Cardiff also hinted at another factor in their one-sided win - preparation time. Wallabies head coach Michael Cheika has been able to fine tune his squad following a series against England and a full Rugby Championship campaign.Australia might not have fared well in either but the time the squad has spent together, and the work it has done on the training pitch, will have been invaluable. By contrast, Howleys squad had less than a fortnight to pick up where they left off in New Zealand, in June.We always knew the challenges of coming in with such a short preparation and the Welsh probably faced that [on Saturday], Wallabies fly-half Bernard Foley said. Its tough when you get everyone back from their club sides and have a week to prepare.Test match footy is something totally different to your provincial and club competitions. It goes up a notch and you only have to be off by little margins and you lose Test matches.But as Howley prepares Wales to face Argentina next Saturday, it is not all doom and gloom. Warburton played 80 minutes for Cardiff Blues against Treviso on Friday night, suggesting a recall might not be far away, while Faletau was moving spritely as he left the Principality Stadium.Moreover, replacement Hallam Amos provided an electric cameo against Australia that threatened to inspire an improbable fightback.The Newport Gwent Dragons wing provided a much needed spark when he came on for George North, engineering the move that ended with Williams try and almost dotting down himself.Amos provides Howley -- and ultimately Warren Gatland -- with an alternative to the brute force of North and Alex Cuthbert. Wales have needed such subtlety since Shane Williams sidestepped into retirement.The problem for Howley, though, is that with Rhys Webb potentially providing another injury headache, Argentina lie in wait next Saturday and not Japan.The Pumas are not an opponent you want to face when feeling anything other than 100 percent. Experimentation might have to wait.
