It was in the tough boundaries on the English public universities on the nineteenth centuries the incessantly-invoked upon 'Spirit of Cricket' expression has been coined. However the Gabba isn't any Eton as well as Harrow, wherever match up referee Shaun Crowe must be getting into the actual headmaster's gown along with rapping Erina Clarke on the knuckles with the ever-so-slight flouting on the sport's ethos.

Hailed as the man who would transform the Gunners’ season, who would catapult the club from also-rans to trophy winners.

And there is no question that the German delivered in those glorious early days as he netted three goals in his first seven games and brought a new meaning to the term “assist,” setting up goal after goal as Arsenal shot to the top of the table.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Tom Brady erased a 24-point deficit. Peyton Manning's touchdown pass forced overtime.

 
The game was in the hands of two great quarterbacks.
Then a punting duel ensued and a live ball hit the leg of a backup cornerback.
Tony Carter ran into Ryan Allen's punt after it bounced, Nate Ebner recovered for the Patriots at the Broncos 13-yard line and Stephen Gostkowski kicked a 31-yard field goal with 1:56 left in overtime to give New England a 34-31 victory against Denver on Sunday night.
"What a crazy game and what a fun finish," Gostkowski said.
The Patriots lost fumbles on their first three possessions and they were booed several times in the first half.

Slowly but surely, Derrick Rose is getting there. During the Chicago Bulls’ 97-87 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Thursday, Rose continued to shake off the rust that has been present since he returned from the torn ACL that kept him out all of last year.
 
He still isn’t back to the MVP form of his 2010-11 peak, but with every passing game, he looks more confident driving to the basket and relies a little less on his outside shot to create all of his offense. Rose scored 19 points on 9-of-20 shooting on Thursday, hardly his most efficient performance. But the pieces are there, and every game where his confidence grows is a positive step.
The Bulls need Rose to be himself now more than ever. With Jimmy Butler out for several weeks with a toe injury, they have one fewer scoring weapon in their starting lineup. The Bulls are on an extended road trip, which couldn’t come at a worse time with that injury. An improved Rose would be a saving grace.
Tonight, the Bulls play the hottest team in the league, the Portland Trail Blazers, who have won their last eight games. For the first time ever, Rose will face off with reigning Rookie of the Year Damian Lillard, another explosive finisher who drew comparisons to Rose coming out of college. It would be a good time for a full return to form.
Here’s what else to watch for tonight:
• The Indiana Pacers play the Boston Celtics, who have started to look like the basement-dweller everyone thought they’d be after a hot streak last week.
• The San Antonio Spurs and Memphis Grizzlies meet in a rematch of the 2013 Western Conference Finals.
• The reeling Cleveland Cavaliers try to right the ship on a disastrous 4-8 start to the year against the New Orleans Pelicans.
• Kobe Bryant isn’t playing yet, but the Los Angeles Lakers host the Golden State Warriors in ESPN’s nightcap.

ANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic -- Slugger David Ortiz says he hopes to renew his contract with the Boston Red Sox for another year.
 
The 38-year-old said in a news conference Wednesday in the Dominican Republic that he will keep playing as long as he feels physically healthy.
Ortiz won the World Series MVP award last month after reaching base in 11 of 16 at-bats with two home runs and six RBIs.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- If anyone knows what Eddie Lacy has gone through the last couple of weeks, it's Adrian Peterson.


Peterson, the Minnesota Vikings' star running back, has spent most of his NFL career dealing with defenses that game plan to stop him, which is exactly what Lacy, the Green Bay Packers' rookie running back, has faced the last two games.
Without starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who hasn't played since his Nov. 4 broken collarbone, Lacy has found things much more difficult. As we noted on Monday, in the last two games, the Packers have faced seven or more defenders in the box nearly twice as often in the last two games, according to ESPN Stats & Information, as they did in the first eight, when opposing defensive coordinators had to prepare for Rodgers and the Packers' prolific passing game.

Rarely in his seven-year NFL career with the Vikings has Peterson had the luxury of playing with a top-tier quarterback. Perhaps only in 2009, when Brett Favre had the better of his two seasons with the Vikings, did Peterson have that.

He certainly doesn't have it this year, when the Vikings have used three different quarterbacks (Christian Ponder, Matt Cassel and Josh Freeman).

"When you're not really passing the ball that well, teams can focus on the run, especially when you're a run-first team," Peterson said Wednesday during a conference call with reporters at Lambeau Field. "So it makes it difficult when the quarterback play is not up to par."

While the Packers have been pleased with the play of backup quarterback Scott Tolzien, who will make his second straight start on Sunday against the Vikings, so far he hasn't convinced opposing defensive coordinators to sit back and play coverage. 

Mexico sealed their place at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in style by downing New Zealand 4-2.
 
Their 5-1 win in the first leg at home meant it was always going to be near-impossible for the Kiwis to stage a comeback, and after a frenetic, end-to-end start, El Tri's quality began to shine through.
A first-half hat-trick from Oribe Peralta put the tie beyond the reach of Richard Herbert's men, and despite a late-goal flurry from the home side, New Zealand bows out second-best.
The home crowd turned up in their droves to cheer the All Whites on in style, and they found their voice early when Marco Rojas embarked on several dazzling dribbles through the centre of the pitch.

The Texas Rangers acquired first baseman Prince Fielder and cash considerations from the Detroit Tigers for second baseman Ian Kinsler, the Rangers confirmed Wednesday night.
The trade agreement was first reported by CBSSports.com.
 
Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski called his counterpart in Texas, Jon Daniels, Tuesday morning and floated the idea of trading Fielder for Kinsler.
"Dave called yesterday and threw out the concept," Daniels said. "We had a little dialogue before on it. From there, David and I had a series of phone calls and both sides were interested and we got the money where both sides could live with it."
It was made official Wednesday evening. As part of the deal, the Tigers are sending $30 million to Texas to offset Fielder's cost, senior baseball analyst Keith Law confirmed. Fielder had to approve the deal and did.
Fielder still has $168 million due to him over the next seven seasons, so Texas will pay him $138 million over that period.
Kinsler is guaranteed $62 million over the next four seasons, which includes a $5 million buyout on his 2018 club option. In total, Detroit will pay $92 million in the deal -- $62 million to Kinsler and $30 million to Texas for Fielder.
The Tigers were not among the teams on Kinsler's no-trade list.
Fielder, 29, hit .279 with 25 homers and 106 RBIs in 2013, his second season in Detroit. He gives the Rangers a power-hitting, left-handed hitter for the middle of their lineup, something Daniels listed as the top priority heading into the offseason.
"He fits what we're looking for -- a middle-of-the-order power threat that is durable and plays to win," Daniels said. "He's a good complement with Adrian Beltre in the middle of our order."
Daniels added that Fielder will be the primary first baseman and that the club is still figuring out Mitch Moreland's role.
The Tigers get a three-time All-Star second baseman and someone who has hit in various parts of the lineup. Kinsler, 31, batted .277 with 13 homers and 72 RBIs last season.
Kinsler still has four years and $62 million guaranteed remaining on his contract. That includes a $5 million buyout on his club option for 2018.
