Its that time of the season. Yes, the injuries are piling up on the star players, which makes for a lot of question marks as the year winds down. With that in mind, here are a few pressing questions:Given all his injuries and his commanding lead in the rankings, should Novak Djokovic consider withdrawing from the rest of the season?Nic Atkin: It may be a sensible idea, but dont think for a second that Djokovic will contemplate it. The world No. 1 said he missed tennis after getting a couple of free passes on his way to the fourth round of the US Open. If getting two walkovers fills him with longing to pick up his racket, then skipping three months would be unbearable.Peter Bodo: Absolutely not, unless those injuries are more severe and require more intensive rehab than it appears. Djokovics season is already made. He is ideally positioned to keep his stranglehold on the game, and besides, he does have professional obligations to the tour as the No. 1 player and an enthusiastic spokesperson.Greg Garber: Absolutely not. Look at the past four years, when Djokovic finished the season as the world No. 1 three times and No. 2 once. In each instance, he won the ATP World Tour Finals. If it aint broke, dont fix it.Johnette Howard: Yes. He seemed to be running on fumes by the US Open and has been cryptic about personal issues that were also troubling him. It hasnt been easy to be dominant as long as hes been. A break could be restorative.Melissa Isaacson: Yes, he should certainly consider taking off the rest of the season. But he has always recognized in the past when his body needed a rest, and commanding lead in the rankings or not, his judgment should not be questioned now.With the WTA Finals coming up, how important is it for Serena Williams to get healthy and win it again?Atkin: Serena should target the Australian Open as her comeback event, not the WTA Finals. Breaking Steffi Grafs major record will be a far bigger incentive than reigning in Singapore. With her 35th birthday just a few days ago, Serena needs to be smart about her schedule and build her season around the Slams.Bodo: If somehow Williams is in a position to reclaim the No. 1 ranking, it would be a shame for her not to make the effort. It would certainly add to her legacy. But since thats an unlikely scenario, its only important in that making a powerful year-end statement would give her rivals a lot to think about over the winter break and convince fans and pundits that we can expect a lot more from her next year.Garber: Important. As Pam Shriver told me recently, at Serenas age (35), she cant simply play her way into Slams after a period of inactivity. Last year, she shut down after the US Open and looked rusty in Melbourne in January. She needs to bring some momentum into 2017.Howard: Its vital for her to get healthy. I have doubts shell even show up for the WTA Finals based on her recent statements that shes tired of playing hurt, and I dont blame her. But if she does heal and show up, she might as well win it.Isaacson: Not important at all. Serena has nothing to prove, and only the all-time Slam singles record is worth going after at this point. And frankly, if she ends her career still tied with Steffi Graf at 22 majors, it should not affect her claim on greatest of all time.What do we realistically expect from Roger Federer when he returns to tour?Atkin: Sad as it is to comprehend, Federer could well begin his lap of honor next season. He has defied the sands of time for long enough, but his body is finally failing him. He just doesnt have enough in him to win an 18th major, though he will entertain us all as usual by threatening the possibility with a run to the Australian Open quarterfinals.Bodo: The greatest gift Roger will bring to the tour next year is his presence. He just adds so much value to an event, because like Serena Williams, he is a true transcendent superstar. If hes fully fit, I expect Federer to be about 80 percent of full-flight Federer, which is a lot of Geez, isnt this great? tennis and wonderful for the game. Hell probably get a lot more Sundays off, but who knows: Maybe hell produce one, final, career-capping major performance.Garber: More of what weve seen in recent years. No Grand Slam titles, but it makes sense to pencil him in for some of those titles he won in 2015: Brisbane, Dubai, Basel and Halle.Howard: More of the same: Glimpses of brilliance and moments where his age and vulnerabilities show enough to prevent him from sustained greatness throughout the year. Thats a lot to ask from him now, even for an entire two-week major tournament.Isaacson: This was his first serious injury, and he is obviously being conservative in his recovery. There is no reason, even at age 35, to think he cant eventually get back to the level he was at with his semifinal finish at Wimbledon.How much pressure should Andy Murray be putting on himself to heal up and win a first ATP Finals in his home country?Atkin: Murray and the ATP Finals have never really been a good fit at the O2 Arena in London. Unlike last year, he wont have a Davis Cup final to prioritize. With Federer absent and Djokovic out of sorts and healing up himself, Murray has a chance to tick another accomplishment off the list.Bodo: I dont think the ATP World Tour Finals means a great deal to Murray, certainly not as much as any major, but the ATP probably is getting tired of sitting around with its fingers crossed, hoping he pulls it off. It would certainly be a PR coup, good for the game in general, and it would add a significant resume item to a CV that is long on runner-up finishes at the biggest events.Garber: To be honest, I dont think he cares all that much. In seven previous appearances, hes never won the year-ender, going out in round-robin play four times, including the past two years.Howard: No pressure to win. Hes already had a good year with his Wimbledon title and Olympic gold-medal run. He has seemed more exhausted than seriously ailing, so hes definitely a threat to win it all in London. He certainly seems to play inspired tennis there.Isaacson: Even when Murray says he doesnt feel outside pressure to win, you can read his own desire with every grimace. If he is close to 100 percent, you can bet hell be in London on Nov. 13. Whether he should be placing that pressure on himself hardly matters.Grossiste Air Max 90 Chine .

Kerry, Just watched the shootout in the Coyotes/Leafs game and I have to ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count? All of the video replays we were shown on TV were inconclusive about whether the puck had entirely crossed the line or not.EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- When people start talking about the success of the New York Giants defense, the names of Olivier Vernon, Janoris Jenkins, Damon Harrison, Jonathan Casillas and Landon Collins get mentioned frequently.One name that rarely gets mentioned is Brad Wing, a guy who is never on the field with the defense.Wingy is the Giants punter. He has been good all year, and absolutely in the zone in recent weeks. The 25-year-old Australian who played as LSU was named the NFC special teams player of the week after punting nine times last weekend for averages of 43.2 yards gross and 42.9 net. Five of his kicks were downed inside the 20-yard line. Dallas gained three yards on three punt returns.For the season, Wing is ninth in the NFL with a 46.5 gross average, and 10th with a 41-yard net.I think a lot of it is rhythm and timing, Wing said of his punting. Its getting into a zone and getting into a groove. Its always a little tougher to get into that zone in these colder months and we are doing a good job of that.Wing is quick to point out his success is more than him. Its Zak DeOssie making the snaps. Its Dwayne Harris covering his punts, including two that he downed at the Cowboys 3-yard line, the last on Dallas final drive in the 10-7 win.Statistically, Wing is averaging 1.5 yards more on his gross and more than two yards more on his net.He doesnt think that has anything to do with changes in his story. Its just the level of confidence has risen and being around these guys another year that just builds a relationship with these guys, he said.One thing that is obvious is that Wing has become more of a directional punter. He spent the offseason working on it, and few balls, if any, are kicked down the middle of the field.The third-year punter who spent his first season witth the Steelers also is getting better with his boomerang punt.dddddddddddd Its an old-fashioned pouch punt that seems to check near the goal line like a golf ball on the green when it hits right.That punt is more like a change-up punt, Wing said. There is no real way you can dictate the bounce, exactly how you want it to go. That punt just makes it a little more difficult for the returner to catch it in games with rain or wing when its already difficult to catch the ball. Thats a punt where you are trying to steal a possession.Giants coach Ben McAdoo has started calling Wing a weapon.We have seen the talent over the last two years, even when he was with Pittsburgh, DeOssie said. He is coming into his own, realizing how good he can be. He is executing on the field, doing a fantastic job.Wing says his only focus is punting well on Sunday against the Lions, who like the Giants have a 9-4 record with three weeks left in the regular season.Thats why you cant look past any game other than the one ahead of you, Wing said. We have a big one this weekend. They are coming in and they are hot. Its two very good teams playing December.Game notesG Justin Pugh appears ready to return to the lineup after missing five games with a knee injury.
