Air Max Uptempo 97 Noir .The race looked set to be a straight fight between the Mercedes teammates and title rivals, but a slow getaway by Hamilton at the start meant Rosberg led into Turn 1. Hamilton finished the first lap in sixth position and saw his hopes of a comeback slip away in the opening ten laps after getting stuck behind Valtteri Bottas.With his main rival out of the equation, Rosberg turned in a faultless drive to win, cutting Hamiltons championship lead to just two points. The huge pace advantage of Mercedes and the two-stop strategies of the Ferrari pair meant Hamilton eventually had a fairly routine drive back to second, but it will be a disappointing result for the world champion after an utterly dominant weekend up until Sunday afternoon.Sebastian Vettel rounded off the podium to the delight of the crowd, beating teammate Kimi... less

She does this well. Many suggest that the player who was the centerpiece of a unit that helped the U.S. womens national team win the World Cup just one year ago does those things better than any defender in the world.It is also in her job description as one of the teams co-captains, a role the 31-year-old inherited only this year, to do the opposite off the field. After more than 100 appearances for her country, Olympic and World Cup titles already in her inventory, hers is a voice of experience.?A captain for a group of Olympic aspirants noticeably younger (average age 27.8 years old) than the team that won the World Cup a year ago (average age 29.5 years old), she took it as her mission in recent months to help those players adapt to the pressure of trying to make the final roster of 18 players -- and prepare for any outcome.?Thats... less

Air Max 97/1 Sean . -- Jameis Winston has to play better for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to realize their potential. So does the supporting cast around the young quarterback.The second-year pros inconsistency has been a focal point during a slow start thats concerning not so much because of a 2/3 record as the way the team performed during a three-game losing streak that followed a season-opening win over the Falcons.Injuries have been a factor. So have an offense thats turned the ball over too much; a defense that hasnt generated enough pressure on opposing passers; and rookie kicker Roberto Aguayo (4 of 8 on field goals, one missed extra point), whos done little to stop lingering questions about whether it was a mistake to draft him in the second round.All that said, coach Dirk Koetter feels good about where the team sits in the NFC South race after beating the first-place Falcons (4-1) and three-time defending division champion Carolina Panthers (1-4) on the road in the first five weeks of... less
