Each week, The Reporters put their thumbs out to the good and the bad in the world of sports. This week, they discuss the NFL and Ray Rice, questionable coaching decisions, FIFA and the Baseball Hall of Fame. Bruce Arthur, Toronto Star My thumb is down to the National Football League, which may sound familiar. The monster-truck league smashes anything in its path, from brain damage to PEDs to painkiller addiction, but this time its something else. Baltimore Ravens star running back Ray Rice knocked his fiancee unconscious in an elevator in the off-season. Still, the Ravens defended him. The NFLs typical suspension for drugs of any kind is four games; it just gave Minnesota special teams coach Mike Preifer three games for homophobic remarks. Knock a woman out? Two games. Pathetic. The only thing worse than the NFLs dismissal of domestic violence was the debate that followed, in which so many sad men made excuses for Rice. But then, after all, the NFL and the Ravens pretty much did it first. Steve Simmons, Toronto Sun My thumb is down to Chris Jones, the first year coach of the Edmonton Eskimos, for calling one of the most outrageous gambles Ive seen in more than 40 years of watching the Canadian Football League. Now I love a good, educated gamble. This just wasnt one of them. With time running out late in the first half against the Calgary Stampeders, rather than punt the ball, jones called a fake end around - from his own end zone. Needless to say, the Eskimos didnt make the long first down, turned the ball over, and one play later, bang, Calgary scored a touchdown, and guess what, the Stampeders wound up winning by less than the score of that TD. Now I like Chris Jones and I think hes going to be a terrific CFL head coach. But theres no place for high school logic in professional football. Cathal Kelly, Globe and Mail My thumb is up to FIFA - a rarity - for their refusal this week to pull the 2018 World Cup away from Russia. It would be satisfying to do so, and would please many of their critics. But, as footballs ruling body pointed out, no boycott has ever stopped a war and sports are an enormously positive force for change. The biggest tournament in the world will be a useful carrot in the coming years. Why apply the stick now? There will be time to reconsider this decision, but not until Russia has been forced to think hard about what it wants more in the international community - territorial gains or friends in the game. Dave Hodge, TSN My thumb is up to todays Baseball Hall of Fame class that numbers six inductees - former players Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and Frank Thomas - and former managers Joe Torre, Tony LaRussa and Bobby Cox. In some of the coming years, we assume itll be tough to elect one Hall of Fame member, never mind six, because so many votes will be held back from candidates known to have used or thought to have used steroids. Ironic then, to see a class of six, requiring speeches shorter than usual. Baseball celebrates its best in a big way--while it can, before it cant. Cheap Tigers Jerseys . - While he appreciates suggestions from Packers fans of remedies for his sore left calf, Aaron Rodgers is not necessarily going to listen to the advice. Al Kaline Jersey . The Austrian ski federation said Morgenstern was "conscious and well responsive" and his condition would be monitored in the intensive care unit of a Salzburg hospital for the next 72 hours. The federation said it was "way too early" to judge Morgensterns chances of competing in Sochi, and that an update on his condition was not expected before Monday. http://www.cheaptigersjerseyschina.com/l...ish-jersey/.The Los Angeles Lakers star passed Michael Jordan for third on the NBAs career scoring list Sunday night in a 100-94 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Denny McLain Jersey . -- The Phoenix Coyotes have won three in a row for the first time in 4 1/2 months, and theyve done it just in time for the stretch run to the playoffs. Jordan Zimmermann Jersey . Kyle Denbrook, a soccer player from Saint Marys University, took the CIS male athlete of the week honour. Stanley, a fourth-year business administration student from Charlottetown, scored both goals in a 2-0 win over Dalhousie on Friday and tallied again in a 1-0 win over Saint Marys on Sunday.ANDERSON, Ind. -- Ahmad Bradshaw is finally eligible to practice. He still may not play for a while. On Tuesday, coach Chuck Pagano said Indianapolis had activated the former Giants running back and linebacker Pat Angerer from the physically unable to perform list. The Colts wasted no time in putting Angerer on the field, sending him in halfway through the morning walkthrough. The timing of Bradshaws actual return isnt as clear. "He feels great, and if it was left up to him, he would go today," Pagano said. "But were going to protect him from himself. Hes going to be day-to-day." The Colts had about a dozen players sit out of Tuesdays practice in pads, including the latest addition -- Coby Fleener, who has a concussion. Bradshaw has not practiced since opening training camp on the PUP list, barring him from practice. After he participated in a walkthrough last week, the Colts and league officials began talking about whether Bradshaw, who is recovering from off-season surgery on his right foot, should be activated. "We had discussions with the league concerning Ahmads status and decided it was time to bring him off the list," Pagano said. Bradshaw is now eligible to play in Sunday nights preseason game against his former team, but that isnt going to happen. The former New York star told reporters he did not expect to play. Bradshaw was cut by the Giants on Feb. 6 and didnt sign with Indy until June 11. In six seasons in New York, Bradshaw had 921 carries for 4,232 yards, 32 TDs and three 1,000-yard seasons. He also won two Super Bowl rings and will be best remembered for scoring the go-ahead touchdown against New England in the 2012 Super Bowl, whicch was played in Indianapolis.dddddddddddd Its the only time a Super Bowl was won with a rushing touchdown in the final minute. He left New York ranked sixth all-time in yards rushing, seventh all-time in carries and ninth all-time in TD runs. When fully healthy, Bradshaw is expected to compete with Vick Ballard and Donald Brown for the Colts starting job. "Were going to take it slow. I feel great right now, but its a process," Bradshaw said. "The most exciting part is that I see a lot of potential for this offence." Angerer also has been recovering from off-season surgery on his right foot. Indy took Angerer in the second round of the 2010 draft, and he wound up starting 11 games and making 50 tackles as a rookie. In 2011, Angerer led the Colts and finished fourth in the NFL in tackles (146). Last season, though, Angerer was slowed by a foot injury and finished with 57 tackles, started only three times and missed five games. The absence of Fleener leaves Indy thin at tight end. Dwayne Allen, who was expected to work with Fleener in double tight-end formations, is already out with an injured right foot. Allen was on crutches for practice. The only other tight ends on the roster are Dominique Jones, who caught one pass last season, and Justice Cunningham, the last overall pick in this years draft. Pagano said Fleener was going through the concussion protocol but it means he will probably be out at least a couple of days. Indy also signed cornerback Johnny Adams and linebacker Monte Simmons, and waived injured linebackers Justin Hickman (foot) and Quinton Spears (hamstring). If Hickman and Spears clear waivers, they will go on injured reserve.
