https://livevsongame-tv.com/nfl/live-update-nfl-suspends-packers-rb-aaron-jones-for-2-games-2/22207/html [ad_1] GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The NFL has suspended Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones for the first two games of the 2018 season without pay for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Jones will miss the season opener against the Chicago Bears on Sept. 9 and the Week 2 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, with both games at Lambeau Field. He will be eligible to return to the roster on Sept. 17, the day after the Vikings game. The discipline stems from a traffic stop in Brown County, Wisconsin, on Oct. 1, 2017, in which Jones was charged with operating a vehicle with a controlled substance in his system; speeding; and operating a vehicle without a valid license. The case came to light after he entered a plea of not guilty on Nov. 15. The case was resolved in February with Jones pleading no contest to the first charge. He was ordered to pay mor...

Live Update: NFL suspends Rams right guard Jamon Brown for 2 games

https://livevsongame-tv.com/nfl/live-update-nfl-suspends-rams-right-guard-jamon-brown-for-2-games/22205/html [ad_1] THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) Right guard Jamon Brown has been suspended for the first two games of the Los Angeles Rams ‘ upcoming season for violating the NFL policy and program for substances of abuse. The NFL announced the suspension Tuesday. Brown started all 16 games last season for the Rams, who drafted him in the third round in 2015. He has started 30 games in three NFL seasons. Los Angeles had the same starting offensive line for 15 consecutive games last season before resting several regulars in the finale. That line continuity was a big factor in the defending NFC West champions’ transformation from the NFL’s worst offense into the league’s highest-scoring unit during coach Sean McVay’s first season. — For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL [ad_2] Source by [Anando] https://livevson...

Live Update: More than 100 phony replica Super Bowl rings found

https://livevsongame-tv.com/nfl/live-update-more-than-100-phony-replica-super-bowl-rings-found/22202/html [ad_1] PHILADELPHIA (AP) Federal authorities say they have intercepted a shipment of 108 phony replica Super Bowl rings representing many past champion teams, including the Philadelphia Eagles . U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials say the rings were found in an express consignment parcel that arrived June 18 from Hong Kong marked as alloy rings. Trade enforcement officers noted ”poor craftsmanship” and detained the rings to verify their authenticity with the National Football League, the trademark holder. Customs officials say the NFL confirmed that the rings were phony. Officials say an authorized replica of a Super Bowl ring can cost $10,000 but counterfeit ones are offered on the internet for $25.

Live Update: The 10 best returning players in the FCS

Image
https://livevsongame-tv.com/nfl/live-update-the-10-best-returning-players-in-the-fcs/22200/html [ad_1] (STATS) – The best players not only win games, but they help their teammates reach a higher level as well. It’s not surprising a ranking of the 10 top returning players in the FCS are members of some of the best programs. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so one person’s No. 1 could be someone else’s No. 3 or 4, and one’s No. 11 might crack another’s top 10. The truth is, however, you want any of these players on your favorite team. 10. Chandler Burks , Kennesaw State, QB, Sr., 5-foot-10, 187 pounds Burks was at the controls of the FCS’ No. 1-ranked rushing offense, becoming the first Big South quarterback to surpass 1,000 rushing yards (1,103) and 1,000 passing yards (1,307). The Big South offensive player of the year led the third-year program to a 12-game winning streak. 9. Marlon Bridges , Jacksonville State, FS, Jr., 6-0, 200 ...

Live Update: Prosecutors drop Gillette Stadium bomb threat case

https://livevsongame-tv.com/nfl/live-update-prosecutors-drop-gillette-stadium-bomb-threat-case/22199/html [ad_1] FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) The case against a Gillette Stadium worker who had been charged with emailing a threat to blow up the home of the New England Patriots has been dropped by prosecutors in Massachusetts. The Sun Chronicle reports that a spokesman for Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey said in a statement Monday the case against 26-year-old Ryan Ringuette was dropped amid doubts about his guilt. The Attleboro man was arrested in August amid a dispute with his then-girlfriend, who was charged with lying to police about her access to Ringuette’s email account. Her case is still pending. Ringuette worked part-time for the company that provides security and guest services at the stadium. Authorities say he had no access to bomb-making materials. His lawyer did not return a call for comment. [ad_2] Source by [Anando] https://livevsongam...

https://livevsongame-tv.com/nfl/live-update-eagles-will-wear-home-jerseys-vs-saints-because-of-golf-bet-2/22197/html [ad_1] PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Eagles will have their choice of uniform jerseys when they visit the New Orleans Saints in Week 10 because of a golf bet between coaches Doug Pederson and Sean Payton. Payton said Monday that he lost a wager to Pederson on a golf course at the NFL meetings in March so the Super Bowl champion Eagles will get to choose their green home jerseys when they play the Saints on Nov. 18. Pederson said his “competitive juices” were flowing and he wanted to beat Payton. It took three holes for a victor to be declared. Payton recalled the hole involved him shooting into the water. Pederson, Payton and Arizona State coach Herman Edwards spoke to reporters on a conference call in advance of their appearance in the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe later this month.    ...

Live Update: Ranking the NFL’s Quarterbacks from 16 to 1

Image
https://livevsongame-tv.com/nfl/live-update-ranking-the-nfls-quarterbacks-from-16-to-1/22195/html [ad_1] The NFL is a league, by-and-large, driven by quarterbacks. It is hard to win if a team’s signal caller is not up to par. Franchises that lack consistency under center are similar to trying to eat clam chowder with a fork. It is possible, but not the best way of going about winning or consuming such an exquisite dish. The NFL has been completely parlayed into a league that values dual-threat passers. No longer, or rather hardly, do you see the “traditional” quarterbacks that move like they are stuck in quick sand when it is time to flee the pocket. This list is a continuation of a countdown started last week pertaining to the league’s starting quarterbacks. The guys on this list are ascending in the right direction, well-established, or long for hardware to be slid onto their fourth finger. Statistics are hardly a factor as we work our way to the...

https://livevsongame-tv.com/nfl/live-update-weekend-sports-in-brief-fox-sports-2/22193/html [ad_1] PRO BASKETBALL CLEVELAND (AP) LeBron James is leaving home for Hollywood and an iconic team. The Los Angeles Lakers have a new superstar – L.A.-Bron. The four-time NBA MVP announced Sunday night that he has agreed to a four-year, $154 million contract with the Lakers, joining one of the league’s most storied franchises and switching conferences to try and dethrone the Golden State Warriors and grow his own legacy. For the second time in his career, James is saying goodbye to the Cleveland Cavaliers, who drafted the teenage sensation from Akron in 2003 and have to be satisfied with winning just one title in the 11 years they had him. Unlike his two previous forays in free agency, James did not drag out his decision and made the announcement less than 24 hours after NBA free agency opened. His management agency, Klutch Sports Group, announced his agreement with the Laker...

Chancellor signed an extension through the 2020 season last August which contained guaranteed money in case of injury. An official retirement could open up the possibility of forfeiting some of that mo...

It is South Sydney’s longest winning streak since 1989 and kept the Rabbitohs within two points of leading St. George Illawarra. In the other Sunday match, tries to A.J. Brimson and Anthony Don in the final 20 minutes helped the Gold Coast Titans beat the Wests Tigers 30-12. Anthony Milford’s 72nd-minute try gave the Brisbane Broncos a 26-22 win over the Canberra Raiders and Canterbury beat Newcastle 36-16.
