TEMPE, Ariz. Connor McDavid Jersey . - Their second 10-win season in a row secured, the Arizona Cardinals went back to work Monday to prepare for a game Thursday night against the rolling St. Louis Rams.Coach Bruce Arians said there would be no significant physical work done in the teams two practices before boarding a plane on Wednesday because the players are still recovering from playing on Sunday.You do basically everything as a walk-through, he said.Arians has criticized the NFLs Thursday night games in the past.Im on record about Thursday night football, he said. Its here to stay. Hopefully, we dont have Wednesday night football.Arians said the short week is a lot tougher on the road team.You have to travel on Wednesday and flying at any time you have swelling, its not a good match, he said.Arizona is playing meaningful games in December, and thats always a goal, the coach said.For some teams, it (playing in December) doesnt mean a damn thing except the seasons almost over, Arians said. Ive been on that side. This one means a lot because everything rides from here on in, so every game is a real playoff game, especially in the NFC with so many teams sitting at nine (wins).One of those teams is Seattle. The Seahawks are a game behind the Cardinals and come to Arizona a week from this Sunday. The flip side of playing on a short week is getting extra time to rest and prepare for the next game.Yeah, its a bad week until Friday, Arians said, then its a nice week and youre glad you played Thursday night.With its 17-14 win over Kansas City on Sunday, Arizona reached 10 wins two years in a row for the first time since 1976.The Cardinals coaches put the game plan together for the Rams last week, even as the team was preparing for Kansas City. It better be a good one because St. Louis has outscored its last two opponents, Oakland and Washington, by a combined 77-0.Theyre playing as good a football as anybody now, defensive end Calais Campbell said. Its a division game, a team you know. They know us, guys youve played against multiple times. Its going to be a good football game.The Cardinals had lost two straight, both on the road, before beating the Chiefs. The team improved to 7-0 at home, the most for the franchise in the 16-game era.Arizona is 13-2 at home in Arians two seasons with the team.The Cardinals ground game, so bad most of the season, broke out behind Kerwynn Williams, who had never carried the ball in a regular-season game until Sunday. Two days after being elevated from the practice squad, Williams rushed for 100 yards, the first time this season anyone had reached the century mark.But Williams wont necessarily be the featured back in St. Louis.With Andre Ellington out for the season with a hip injury, the Cardinals plan to rely on the trio of Williams, Stepfan Taylor and Marion Grice.But have no doubt, Williams will get the ball.Oh yeah, Arians said. Hell get his chances to do it again.___AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Yohann Auvitu Jersey . The announcement was made by the hall on Friday, March 14.

Its a blessing and a burden for nine sons of former NHL players who are all expected to be taken in the first four rounds of the draft this weekend. http://www.oilersauthority.com/authentic-mark-fayne-oilers-jersey/ . The four-time Grand Slam champion has beaten Hantuchova nine straight times, with the Slovaks only win coming when they first played 10 years ago. "I had a tough first opponent who can play extremely good tennis," Sharapova said. NEW YORK -- J.R. Smith left Anthony Bennett standing still and Tristan Thompson on his backside. The New York Knicks didnt just beat the Cleveland Cavaliers, they embarrassed them. Carmelo Anthony and rookie Tim Hardaway Jr. each scored 29 points, Smith had 19, and the Knicks won 117-86 Thursday night for their fourth straight victory. The Knicks wrapped up a 10-6 January after going just 9-21 through the end of December. They have rebounded from losing the first three games on their franchise record-tying, eight-game homestand and can finish it with a winning record if they beat Miami on Saturday night. "It is starting to feel a lot better here on our home court to win basketball games," Anthony said. "Were just trying to keep it going." Anthony scored 18 in the first quarter, only two off his total from his franchise-record, 62-point game Friday night. But he sat nearly half of the second quarter to fall well off the pace, as he had 37 points at halftime that night. He still scored enough to become the 50th player in NBA history to surpass 19,000 points. Hardaway had a career high in points and tied the Knicks rookie record with six 3-pointers. "I knew that if I could shoot the ball very, very well at the next level, then I should be able to help the team out," he said. But the dazzling plays were provided by Smith, who had to keep himself from laughing when he crossed over Thompson so bad that the forward fell down as Smith was making a jumper. Smith was starting for Iman Shumpert, who was out with a sprained right shoulder. The Knicks were also missing Andrea Bargnani (left elbow ligament), Kenyon Martin (sprained left ankle) and Amare Stoudemire (sprained left ankle), who are all starters or key reserves. Even without them, they cruised to their third easy victory during their winning streak. "These are the bright spots you want to have, especially playing at home," Smith said. "Youve got your teammates on the bench going crazy, guys on the court are excited and love to play the game and theres nothing better than that." Kyrie Irving scored 24 points for the Cavs on a day in which his long-term commitment to Cleveland was again questioneed. Jari Kurri Jersey. "Theres just so much negative attention. I mean I know were struggling, but I mean its just not about me. Its about our team," Irving said. Bennett, the No. 1 overall pick, was coming off a season-best 15 points in his last outing. But this one was another of the forgettable performances that have made up his season: four points on 1-of-6 shooting. He came in a little more than 4 minutes into the game, and the Knicks immediately began attacking him. Smith had the ball in the corner and blew by him along the baseline before pulling the ball down while in the air and then pulling it back up before slamming it in. Anthony had the ball near the free throw line on the next possession, easily went by the rookie and laid it in to make it 26-9. The Knicks doubled the Cavs up at 58-29 when Anthony made two free throws with 4:23 remaining in the half, and New York led 60-36 at halftime. The Cavaliers have lost three straight and five of six. General manager Chris Grant said Wednesday that the Cavs "lack of effort is just not acceptable," but they were so bad so fast in this one that it was hard to tell if the effort was any better. But the bigger concern for Cavs fans may have come earlier in the day, when an ESPN.com writer wrote that Irving, the 2011 No. 1 pick, was already telling people privately that he wanted out of Cleveland. He said it was too early to say if he would sign an extension this summer, but said he enjoyed playing for the Cavaliers. "Im still in my rookie contract and Im happy to be here and Im pretty sure that Im going to be here for a long time," Irving said. "Im not saying anything to foretell the future, but Im pretty sure the relationship I have with (owner) Dan Gilbert and management extends off the court and I enjoy being here." Dion Waiters had 21 points for the Cavs, who played without Anderson Varejao (bruised left knee) and allowed the Knicks to shoot 57 per cent from the field. NOTES: The crowd included Denver Broncos defensive back Champ Bailey and NBA Commissioner David Stern, who is retiring Saturday. The Knicks honoured Stern with a video narrated by former Knicks star Bill Bradley, a member of both of New Yorks championship teams.
