Revis claims hamstring fully recovered



The New York Jets have contended cornerback Darrelle Revis was ready to return from his hamstring injury before.Certainly, he wasn't. He hobbled around in coverage against the Minnesota Vikings and Denver Broncos and was taken advantage of a few times.If Revis and head coach Rex Ryan are to be believed, then his leg really is healthy now."I'm ready to go,new england shirt," Revis said. "I'll be there Sunday."The Jets reported to practice Monday after their bye week, and Revis claimed he's "100 percent" recovered from the hamstring he yanked in Week 2 against the New England Patriots.Revis stuck around the Jets' training complex in Florham Park, N.J.,euro2012shirt.org.uk, last week to get his hamstring prepared for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers at the Meadowlands."All day I was over here,chelsea shirt 2012, just trying to knock it out," Revis said. "This was a good week of rest for me to do that, the best time, where I can come out and where I can get 100 percent and get ready for the second half of the season."

Be wary of free agents expressing interest


,Spain Euro Shirts
Posted by ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky INDIANAPOLIS -- Chris Simms is interested in the Bears. Dewayne Robertson would love to join the Titans if they lose Albert Haynesworth. Well, duh. Beware of such stories between now and free agency. Of course Simms is interested in Chicago. He's a quarterback looking for a job. He's interested in any team that's looking for help at the position. If he had been asked about Detroit,Italy Euro Shirts, Kansas City,euro shirt, the Jets or Minnesota, he would have given the same upbeat answer and it wouldn't mean much about the potential for him to land in any of those destinations. Robertson is out of work, cut by the Broncos. It would be big news if he said he isn't interested in some potential opportunity. It's completely predictable that he's attracted to the Titans or any other team that could use defensive tackle help. I'm wary of stories like those, and we're going to see a lot more of them in the next week. Let's keep them in context.

The Lions' latest loss- Pettigrew


,champions league shirts
The injuries keep piling up for Detroit,Portugal Euro 2012 shirts, which announced Friday it has lost rookie tight end Brandon Pettigrew for the year because of a knee injury.PettigrewPettigrew will become the 14th Lions player to go on injured reserve this season,euro shirt, the highest mark in the NFL. This loss might be the most crushing considering the progress Pettigrew had made in the past four weeks as the second of the Lions’ two first-round picks.Pettigrew caught 15 of his 30 passes in the three games preceding Thursday’s matchup with Green Bay and had proved to be a play-making threat at the tight end position. His blocking is more difficult to judge from the outside, but by most accounts he was holding his own in that area.I’m guessing the Lions will take a close look at why they’ve had so many injuries this season, but I don’t know if Pettigrew’s will help them draw any conclusions. It looked like his knee buckled without contact during the Lions’ first drive Thursday.

Bill Carmody is ... 'The Gamer'


,Czech Euro 2012 Shirts
The idea of Bill Carmody playing video games is funny. This had never occurred to me until the first time I saw this clip, from Northwestern athletics,Italy Euro Shirts, that features Carmody sneaking in some Mortal Kombat after his players abandon the ol' XBox:I actually want to see Carmody play video games. I don't know for sure,chelsea shirt 2012, but I think he might really enjoy them. He's renowned for his intelligence. His zone-pressing Princeton-style system is the work of of a clinician. The only problem is that Carmody is so frequently at a recruiting disadvantage he often can't enlist the sheer talent he needs to win games. Guess where you don't need to recruit talent? NBA2K12. You control not only your team's strategy but its execution -- that would have to appeal to any coach, wouldn't it? Am I spending too much time thinking about this? I'm probably spending too much time thinking about this. Anyway, Bill Carmody playing Mortal Kombat: funny stuff.
