ARLINGTON, Texas -- Dallas receiver Dez Bryant and Washington cornerback Josh Norman professed their respect for each other before their first meeting in Week 2.The good feelings were gone by the end of Round 2, which nearly turned into a fight.Bryant and Norman had to be separated after the Cowboys 31-26 victory Thursday, which included several testy moments between the Cowboys 2014 All-Pro and the free agent who signed a five-year, $75 million contract in the offseason.Tell Washington to get their money back, Bryant yelled at reporters on his way into the locker room before repeating it prior to the first question in his postgame interview.During the game, Bryant was most upset when Norman grabbed his leg after a tackle on a catch in the second half. But the jawing started early, after Bryants first catch early in the second quarter.Bryants longest reception was a 26-yarder against cornerback Kendall Fuller to set up the Cowboys final touchdown for a 31-19 lead in the fourth quarter.After the game, the players were facemask-to-facemask for several seconds before Bryants teammates stepped in. Bryant grabbed Normans facemask and Norman swung in his direction and threw a towel at Bryant as he was being pulled away.That guy is soft man, said Bryant, who had a team-high 72 yards on five catches. He is really soft. Hes supposed to be a lockdown corner but you cant even play man-to-man.Norman was asked about Bryants claim that he exposed the former Carolina player before a Washington spokesman whisked Norman away.Ive played him three or four times now, Norman said. And those times I dont think he broke 30 yards. Or had any significance on any kind of game. But at the end of the day, I will let him speak for himself. If he feels like he wants to have that, then go play with the kids on the playground.Norman ended up with the Redskins after Carolina surprisingly rescinded a contract offer under the franchise tag in the offseason, making him a free agent. He didnt get to cover Bryant until late in the first meeting, a 27-23 Dallas victory that started its franchise-record 10-game winning streak.Bryant had seven catches for 102 yards in the first meeting.He got frustrated, Bryant said. I feel like, if youre going to give fire, you better be able to take it. Because if you get me rolling, Im not stopping.Bryant, who has had some volatile moments in his career, was asked what would have happened in a similar postgame incident earlier in his career.I would have beat him up, Bryant said. Right on the field. Straight up.Dallas coach Jason Garrett said he thought Bryant handled the matchup with Norman well.You are going to play against certain guys that are going to try to get you off your team and distract you, Garrett said. I keep using the word focused, but I thought he was focused throughout this ballgame.Bryant took to Twitter not long after the game to criticize Norman again, responding to a follower by writing, Boy stop ... go watch the film.... the man cant cover one on one... I broke him down on so many routes tonight.But Bryant was more reflective about the incident a couple of hours later, tweeting, I just finished watching my interview on espn ... I shouldnt have even stooped down to that ... we have something special here in Dallas.Redskins coach Jay Gruden said he didnt see the postgame exchange.And I dont care, Gruden said. Those two guys are great competitors. Both of them are great players and Im sure Ill read about it on Twitter.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuylerShaun Alexander Seahawks Jersey . -- The St. Johns IceCaps weathered a wild first period with the help of goaltender Jussi Olkinuora, before finding offensive inroads in the second.

Marquise Blair Jersey . -- New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis is retiring after a 16-year career to become the goalie coach for the Los Angeles Galaxy.With Warren Gatlands main coaching team for next years British & Irish Lions tour now confirmed, thoughts will shift to the make-up of his playing squad.Debates will rage in clubhouses across the British Isles, and much excitement will be derived from the fact that Gatland is not shackled by the thoughts of his international coaching rivals.He has already opened the door to a call up for Danny Cipriani by admitting I wouldnt be doing my job if I didnt discuss the Wasps fly-half.So, should Cipriani put his summer holiday plans on hold? ESPN looks back at the last five Lions tours, to find out how the bolters got on.Will Greenwood (1997)Sir Ian McGeechan made a statement with his Lions selection in 1997, picking the then uncapped Greenwood ahead of England captain Phil de Glanville.The 24-year-old repaid the coachs faith with some solid displays for the midweek team, before his tour was cut short by a brutal injury.Playing against the Free State, Greenwood swallowed his tongue following a tackle by?Jaco Coetzee and came to just before an incision was about to be made to clear his airways.Fortunately for Greenwood he made a full recovery, going on to make his England debut that autumn before becoming an integral member of the team that won the 2003 Rugby World Cup. He would also feature on two subsequent Lions tours.Jason Robinson (2001)Robinson may seem an odd inclusion given his rugby league pedigree, and what he went on to achieve in union, but his place on the 2001 tour of Australia was far from assured.He had made an inauspicious start to his England career, making three appearances as a replacement in the 2001 Six Nations without crossing the whitewash.Graham Henry saw Robinsons union potential and his gamble was rewarded with a try-scoring performance as the Lions won the first Test convincingly in Brisbane.Another score would follow in the deciding clash in Sydney, but it wasnt enough as the tourists lost a tight series 2-1.Robinson learned from his experience, though, and would score again on his return to the scene of the final Test two years later -- as England won the World Cup.ddddddddddddyan Jones (2005)Much was made of Sir Clive Woodwards initial 44-man 2005 Lions squad, featuring as it did 20 Englishman and only 10 Grand Slam-winning Welshmen.Young back row Ryan Jones was one of the omissions, instead being selected to tour North America with Wales, at the end of his first season in Test rugby.Jones played just one Test on that tour before an injury to Scotlands Simon Taylor prompted a call from New Zealand.Just two weeks after his arrival, the then 24-year-old would come on as a replacement in the opening Test. Mounting injuries and a collective loss of form ensured that he started the remaining two, as the All Blacks secured a 3-0 series whitewash.Keith Earls (2009)Like Jones, Keith Earls had been an international for less than 12 months before the call came from the Lions.Earls international career consisted of a mere two caps -- and one start -- before McGeechan selected him ahead of established Ireland centre, Gordon DArcy.The versatile back would not make a Test appearance, but following a nervy debut he went on to score tries against Free State Cheetahs and the Emerging Springboks.Earls was overlooked for the 2013 tour to Australia, but has been an important presence for both Munster and Ireland, racking up a half century of Test caps in the process.Matt Stevens (2013)Gatlands inclusion of Matt Stevens for the tour to Australia four years ago should give Cipriani hope of a call this time around.The prop had seemingly ruled himself out of the running when he announced his retirement from international rugby less than 12 months previously.He had missed the previous tour to South Africa, too, as he served a two-year drugs ban, but his experience helped convince Gatland that he was worthy of a place on the plane Down Under.Stevens would not see any action in the successful Test series but did make six appearances in tour matches.?
