ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Josh Ferguson Jersey . - First-timer Chris Harris Jr. is among the Denver Broncos league-leading nine Pro Bowlers, including Peyton Manning, whose 14th selection is tied for the most ever among NFL players.Oh man, thats what happens when you win games, Harris said. And were able to win a lot of games and have a lot of impactful players. I mean, its just awesome. Its just a great honour to be in that nine.Harris, who recently signed a five-year, $42.5 million contract extension, is the sixth undrafted cornerback to make a Pro Bowl with his original team and the first since Dallas Everson Walls in 1981.Its been a remarkable rise for Harris, a third-year player out of Kansas who originally signed a $2,000 bonus in Denver and bounced back from a torn ACL in last years playoffs.This year has been a phenomenal year, I had my daughter, making the Pro Bowl and signing my contract, Harris said. The Super Bowl is the only thing Im missing. Thats the only thing Im worried about, the only goal and thats the only thing Im chasing right now.Harris, who didnt even finish in the top-10 cornerbacks in fan balloting, ranks second in the NFL with a 47.3 passer rating against him, according to Pro Football Focus.Its definitely a special feeling getting into the Pro Bowl. I put in so much work this off-season, Harris said. Im just glad Im getting the fruits of my labour.Manning extended his QB record with his 14th selection, tying centre Bruce Matthews and tight end Tony Gonzalez for the most in NFL history. The five-time NFL MVP has thrown for 4,454 yards with 39 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.Other Denver defenders honoured Tuesday are: linebacker Von Miller, cornerback Aqib Talib, safety T.J. Ward and defensive end DeMarcus Ware.Talib, Ward and Ware were free agent additions in the off-season. Like Harris, Miller returned from a torn ACL that sidelined him for the Super Bowl.Manning was joined by left tackle Ryan Clady, receiver Demaryius Thomas and tight end Julius Thomas. Clady missed most of last season with a foot injury.The nine selections tie for the second-most in franchise history behind the 10 selected in 1998. Seven of the nine were either signed or drafted by GM John Elway.Receiver Emmanuel Sanders was selected a second alternate after posting career highs with 95 receptions for 1,331 yards and nine TDs with one game remaining. The last time a receiver with those kinds of stats failed to make the Pro Bowl was in 1995 when Robert Brooks, Isaac Bruce and Brett Perriman all were snubbed.Running back C.J. Anderson, who emerged as Denvers primary ball carrier at midseason, was a sixth alternate.Harris said he couldnt believe nose tackle Terrance Knighton wasnt named to the Pro Bowl. Hes the leader of a defence that ranks second in the league against the run.T-Knight definitely got snubbed, Harris said. Hes a Pro Bowl player in my eyes.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Matthias Farley Jersey . The Maple Leafs handed their embattled head coach a two-year contract extension on Thursday, while at the same time announcing that assistants Dave Farrish, Greg Cronin and Scott Gordon will not be back. Indianapolis Colts Jerseys . They say things like "stress is when you dont know what youre doing" and "I wasnt hired to motivate players, I was hired to coach motivated players." They ring as true now as they did when Mularkey heard them the first time playing tight end for the Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Fame coach 25 years ago. http://www.nflcoltsgearsshop.com/Al-Woods.html?cat=919 . And Richard Bachman, their rookie goalie, is facing a penalty shot a few seconds after the opening face-off. No pressure, right? Bachman stood his ground against Zack Kassian and saw the puck dribble off the Canuck rookies stick, then settled in and backstopped the Stars to a 5-2 win over Vancouver Tuesday that put Dallas in first place in the Pacific Division.NEW YORK, N.Y. - The Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics will play a 44-minute preseason game on Sunday as the NBA experiments with a shorter game.The contest will be four minutes shorter than the NBAs standard 48-minute game. The league said Monday that the teams will play four 11-minute quarters, one minute shorter than normal.At our recent coaches meeting, we had a discussion about the length of our games, and it was suggested that we consider experimenting with a shorter format, Rod Thorn, the NBAs president of basketball operations, said in a statement. After consulting with our Competition Committee, we agreed to allow the Nets and Celtics to play a 44-minute preseason game in order to give us some preliminary data that will help us to further analyze game-time lengths.There also will be only two mandatory timeouts per quarter. One will come at the first dead ball under 6:59 of the period if neither team has taken a timeout prior, and the second will be triggered by the first dead ball under 2:59 if neither team has taken a timeout since the first manddatory timeout. Jacoby Brissett Jersey. There are three mandatory timeouts in the second and fourth quarters of the 48-minute game.A 44-minute game would bring the NBA closer to college and international play, where the games are 40 minutes. A 44-minute game also would be 328 less minutes over the course of an 82-game season, which would translate to about seven fewer games.But it would create some challenges for coaches.Im looking forward to gauging its impact on the flow of the game. Since there is a shorter clock, it affects playing time, so itll be interesting to see how it plays into substitution patterns, Nets coach Lionel Hollins said.Hollins called it a unique experiment that was worth participating in, and Boston coach Brad Stevens agreed.I appreciate the NBAs long history of forward thinking and willingness to try new ideas, Stevens said. We told the NBA that wed be happy to participate in this trial during a preseason game. I look forward to experiencing it and continuing the dialogue after Oct. 19.The game will be televised live on NBA TV.
