PITTSBURGH -- Sidney Crosby, meet Connor McDavid. Connor McDavid, meet Sidney Crosby.Oh, the NHLs most celebrated draft pick of the 2000s -- Crosby, back when he was The Kid -- and the most celebrated of the 2010s -- McDavid, whos succeeded Crosby in being The Kid, but isnt quite yet the man -- have already met in person.That handshake occurred a couple of years ago when McDavid played junior hockey in Erie, Pa., about 125 miles north of Pittsburgh. Crosby and Penguins co-owner Mario Lemieux, himself a former Canadian wunderkind, went to visit.But Crosby, arguably hockeys biggest star, and McDavid, hockeys brightest young star, havent met on the ice. Until now.Could be perfect timing, too.McDavids Edmonton Oilers, coming off a 2-1 win in Detroit and No. 2 overall in the Western Conference, take to the ice on Tuesday to face Crosbys Penguins, coming off a 3-0-1 road trip and No. 3 overall in the Eastern Conference. The meeting is perhaps the NHLs most intriguing matchup so far in a season thats only about a month old.While it will be a head-to-head meeting only if Oilers coach Todd McLellan and Penguins coach Mike Sullivan choose to match their top lines against each other, its the kind of competition that can drive a skilled player. And the teams they play for; the Oilers are off to a promising 9-3-1 start, including a 5-1-1 road record; the Penguins are 9-3-1, and are 5-0-1 on home ice.Now 29, Crosby can remember his early days in the NHL in 2005-06 and his initial matchups against players such as Peter Forsberg. Crosby knows McDavid will be compared to him before, during and after the interconference game at PPG Paints Arena.Your competitive side takes over in such games, Crosby said Monday. There are matchups like that every night, but some arent talked about as much as others. ... Competition is why you play, and what you love, obviously some (matchups) are talked about more than others, and (Tuesday) night will be one thats talked about more.For good reason, too. Despite his age, McDavid -- with his five goals and nine assists for 14 points -- is rapidly pushing the Oilers into a bracket with the NHLs better teams.Crosby, of course, is the primary reason why the Penguins won a second Stanley Cup last season and, despite missing the teams first six games to a concussion, leads the league with eight goals. Hes coming off a two-goal performance Saturday in the Penguins 5-0 win at San Jose, the team they defeated for the Stanley Cup in June.Left wing Carl Hagelin has played only 2 1/2 games on Crosbys line this season but isnt shy about offering his praise.Every time hes on the ice, he wants to make a difference, Hagelin said.The 19-year-old McDavid acknowledges looking up to Crosby while he was younger -- after all, he said, Crosbys already won basically everything there is to win -- two Stanley Cups, two Olympic gold medals, scoring titles, the Conn Smythe, the whole works.I dont pattern myself after him, but he is the best player in the world, McDavid told the teams website.Whether McDavid can someday ascend to being such a player, and theres every sign he can, hell get a chance to study the current No. 1 on Tuesday night.Crosby recalled the first time he took on Forsberg; the Penguins lost and he was a minus-5. He realized afterward he needed to compete, rather than just watch him.With Crosby and McDavid both on the same 200-foot long sheet of ice for the first time in the NHL, there could be a lot to see.Hes one of the bright young players in the league, Sullivan said of McDavid. That team is trying to take another step, and hes a reason why.Justin Tucker Womens Jersey . -- In a span of seven Washington Redskins offensive plays, Justin Tuck sacked Robert Griffin III four times.

At a Manhattan federal court hearing, attorney Jordan Siev said his law office has gotten more evidence nearly every day to support its lawsuit accusing MLB and Selig of going on a "witch hunt" to ruin Rodriguezs reputation and career.

Only one of them, senior Riley McCarron, is among active Hawkeyes in the top four on the team in catches -- and Iowa is just 107th nationally in passing offense (180.3 yards per game).That statistic is even more glaring given that the Hawkeyes have a senior quarterback, C.J. Beathard, who many pegged as among the Big Tens best entering this season.Its just a matter of us doing the right things and making the plays that are there to be made. You put those both together and you have a chance to win games, Beathard said.Iowa, which is coming off its bye week, plays at No. 20 Penn State (6-2, 4-1) on Saturday. The Hawkeyes might take on a different look this weekend, as back Akrum Wadley said Tuesday that he occasionally worked as a slot receiver in practice during the bye.Were fooling around with different looks and what have you, but nothing major, coach Kirk Ferentz said.The Hawkeyes knew that their passing game would suffer following the season-ending injury to star Matt VandeBerg four games into the season. But Iowa also hoped, like every program in the country does, that losing a key veteran would give an inexperienced underclassman a chance to shine.That hasnt happened yet. The Hawkeyes young wide receivers have struggled to get open -- and theyre too often dropping the ball when they do.Jerminic Smith has just 14 catches in seven starts.ddddddddddddFellow sophomore Jay Scheel has only five catches in eight games -- and he and Smith combined for just 12 yards in a 17-9 loss to No. 8 Wisconsin on Oct. 22.McCarron has caught 30 passes, but hes also averaging just over 11 yards per reception.Those pedestrian numbers prompted Iowa to elevate freshman Devonte Young, who has yet to catch a college pass, into its rotation.The Hawkeye do have other ways to score. Wadley and fellow back LeShun Daniels Jr. have combined for 1,285 rushing yards with 14 touchdowns. Wadley also has 18 catches, and it sounds like Iowa could experiment with Daniels as the lead back and Wadley out wide.You can put him anywhere on the field, and he has the ability to make plays with his feet, Beathard said of Wadley. Hes a fast guy ... hes got good hands as well.The healthy return of tight end George Kittle (sprained right foot) should also help Iowa expand its play book.But the final month of the regular season for Iowa includes three top 20 opponents in the Nittany Lions, No. 2 Michigan and No. 9 Nebraska. The Hawkeyes will likely be underdogs in all three of those matchups -- and a 6-6 finish could be on the table if their receivers cant start to stretch defenses and allow Iowa return to the kind of attack that has made it successful in the past.Weve got a lot of young guys obviously, McCarron said. Anytime you can get reps with C.J., youll start growing ... (but) its not going to happen overnight.---More college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
