Leonard Fournette Youth Jersey . Just ask Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.Exiting the NFL draft and entering the early May Power Rankings, the Patriots were the No. 1 team. Then, in mid-July, Brady ended his fight against the NFL and accepted his four-game suspension. Enter Jimmy Garoppolo at quarterback for four games, and exit the Patriots as the No. 1 team in ESPNs Preseason Power Rankings.Heres how ESPNs power panel (a group of more than 80 writers, editors and TV personalities) voted in the preseason version of the Power Rankings. ESPNs Stats & Information contributed the following information.Look back at our post-NFL draft Power Rankings here?and our post-free agency Power Rankings here.1. Seattle Seahawks2015 record: 10-6 Post-draft ranking: No. 4This is the fourth straight season that the Seahawks opened the preseason as the top team in ESPNs Power Rankings, and with good reason. The defense has allowed the fewest points each of the past four seasons.2. Arizona Cardinals2015 record: 13-3 Post-draft ranking: No. 5Arizona has gotten better each season under coach Bruce Arians. If that trend continues, expect big things from a Cardinals team that set franchise records in wins (13) and points (489) in 2015.3. New England Patriots2015 record: 12-4 Post-draft ranking: No. 1The Patriots started 2-2 or worse in three of their four Super Bowl-winning seasons, so forgive our voters for not overreacting to Tom Bradys four-game suspension being upheld. The Pats are still the team to beat in the AFC.4. Green Bay Packers2015 record: 10-6 Post-draft ranking: No. 3The Packers scored their fewest points since 2006 last season, but the prospect of a healthy Jordy Nelson and slimmed down Eddie Lacy could have Aaron Rodgers and the Packers scoring like were used to.5. Carolina Panthers2015 record: 15-1 Post-draft ranking: No. 2The Panthers have a tough act to follow, after they won 15 games last season, but no team in NFL history has ever followed a 15-win season with anything less than a 10-win season.6. Pittsburgh Steelers2015 record: 10-6 Post-draft ranking: No. 6Ben Roethlisberger averaged 328 passing yards per game last season, third-highest all time in a single season. With LeVeon Bell serving yet another suspension, the Steelers could be relying on Big Bens arm a lot more in 2016.7. Cincinnati Bengals2015 record: 12-4 Post-draft ranking: No. 7The Bengals, of all teams, have been a model of consistency under coach Marvin Lewis and QB Andy Dalton. They have made the playoffs in five straight seasons ... and theyve lost in the first round in five straight seasons.8. Denver Broncos2015 record: 12-4 Post-draft ranking: No. 8Peyton Manning is gone, but defense is what fuels the Broncos now. Consider this: Even with Manning last season, the Broncos finished 28th in passing touchdowns and 25th in Total QBR and threw the most interceptions.9. Kansas City Chiefs2015 record: 11-5 Post-draft ranking: No. 10The Chiefs lost to the Patriots in the division playoffs last season, but no team currently has a longer regular-season win streak than Kansas City (10 games). In fact, no other team has a streak longer than three games.10. Minnesota Vikings2015 record: 11-5 Post-draft ranking: No. 9In 2013, the year before coach Mike Zimmer arrived, the Vikings ranked last in points allowed. In 2015, Zimmers second year, they finished fifth. If the offense can score some points, expect the Vikings to stay in the top 10.11. Oakland Raiders2015 record: 7-9 Post-draft ranking: No. 13The Raiders? Ranked 11th? Derek Carr, Amari Cooper and Khalil Mack have our voters intrigued, but -- not to sound cliché -- they still have to learn how to win. The Raiders had an NFL-worst minus-60 point differential in the fourth quarter last season.12. Baltimore Ravens2015 record: 5-11 Post-draft ranking: No. 14The Ravens won five games in 2007 and followed that with an 11-5 season. The Ravens won six games in 2005 and followed that with a 13-3 season. The Ravens dont stay down for long, so expect a big bounce back following their 5-11 2015 season.13. Dallas Cowboys2015 record: 4-12 Post-draft ranking: No. 11Dak Prescott wowed fans in his NFL debut, and though it was just preseason, the Cowboys need a capable backup quarterback. Tony Romo has missed at least one game in each of the past three seasons, and he missed 12 in 2015. In those three seasons, the Cowboys are 1-13 when Romo doesnt start and 23-11 when he does.14. Indianapolis Colts2015 record: 8-8 Post-draft ranking: No. 12QB Andrew Luck has to be a lot better than he was last season. It would be easy to write off 2015 because of injuries, but Luck was tied for the league lead in turnovers (13) when he got hurt. Also, dont forget: The Colts were 2-5 with Luck and 6-3 with anyone else starting in 2015.15. New York Jets2015 record: 10-6 Post-draft ranking: No. 15The Jets and Ryan Fitzpatrick ended their will they, wont they offseason with a one-year deal. Was it the right move? Fitzpatrick set the Jets franchise record for touchdown passes (31) last season, but he also has zero career playoff appearances.16. Houston Texans2015 record: 9-7 Post-draft ranking: No. 17Our voters have the Texans in the middle of the pack, but their potential rise or fall will likely depend on their consistency at quarterback. The Texans finished 9-7 with four different starters last season. This season, its on Brock Osweiler to stay healthy.17. New York Giants2015 record:6-10 Post-draft ranking: No. 18If every game last season ended with exactly 75 seconds left, the Giants would have finished 10-5-1. This offseason, the Giants replaced coach Tom Coughlin with Ben McAdoo and gave away money (see?Olivier Vernon) like they gave away leads. Can the Giants play a full 60 minutes every week this season?18. Washington Redskins2015 record: 9-7 Post-draft ranking: No. 16Our voters dont have a lot of faith in the Redskins right now, and can you blame them? Although we liked?Kirk Cousins ascension, it came out of nowhere. Also working against Washington? The Redskins havent made the playoffs in back-to-back years since George H.W. Bush was president.19. Atlanta Falcons2015 record: 8-8 Post-draft ranking: No. 20An 8-8 season isnt the worst thing in the world, but its pretty close to it after you start 6-1. The Falcons have missed the playoffs in three straight years, and with center Alex Mack?the biggest offseason addition, the Falcons seem poised for another middling season.20. Jacksonville Jaguars2015 record: 5-11 Post-draft ranking: No. 23The Jaguars open the 2016 season Power Rankings at No. 20, which shows that our voters see potential in the teams young core. How so? That 20 ranking is tied for the Jaguars highest since Week 3 of the 2011 season.21. Chicago Bears2015 record: 6-10 Post-draft ranking: No. 25The Panthers went 11-5 in John Foxs second year as head coach. The Broncos went 13-3 in Foxs second year as head coach. This will be Foxs second year as head coach of the Bears. Will the Bears get their first 10-win season since 2012?22. New Orleans Saints2015 record: 7-9 Post-draft ranking: No. 27The Saints have Drew Brees, but their defense turns opponents quarterbacks into Brees. Against the Saints last season, quarterbacks posted a 68.4 completion percentage, 45 pass touchdowns, nine interceptions and 78.6 Total QBR.23. Tampa Bay Buccaneers2015 record: 6-10 Post-draft ranking: No. 29A few strong Jameis Winston starts out of the gate could very quickly have our voters singing a different tune about the Buccaneers. Had the Bucs finished stronger last season (they lost their last four after a 6-6 start), they might have been higher in these rankings.24. Buffalo Bills2015 record: 8-8 Post-draft ranking: No. 19Tyrod Taylor impressed in 2015, as he helped lead the Bills to an 8-8 record, but if the preseason rank of 24th is any indication, the Bills will be tacking another year onto their NFL-long 16-year playoff drought.25. Philadelphia Eagles2015 record: 7-9 Post-draft ranking: No. 22The Eagles are off to a rough start in 2016, as No. 2 overall pick Carson Wentz suffered broken ribs in the Eagles first preseason game. Its a good thing the Eagles re-signed Sam Bradford and signed career backup Chase Daniel for a combined $34 million guaranteed this offseason.26. Miami Dolphins2015 record:6-10 Post-draft ranking: No. 21Coach Adam Gase has been labeled a quarterback whisperer, so Ryan Tannehill better be listening. He posted a career-worst 43.1 Total QBR last season, despite a talented receiving corps that featured Jarvis Landry, who had a franchise-record 100 receptions last season.27. Detroit Lions2015 record: 7-9 Post-draft ranking: No. 24The loss of Calvin Johnson is big, but the Lions might not be getting the benefit of the doubt here. They went 6-2 over the second half of 2015, and Matthew Stafford will have Golden Tate, Anquan Boldin and Marvin Jones to throw to in 2016.28. San Diego Chargers2015 record: 4-12 Post-draft ranking: No. 28The good news is that Melvin Gordon, the 15th overall pick in 2015, scored his first NFL touchdown. The bad news is it came in the first preseason game of 2016. Still, if its a sign of things to come, it would be a boost for a Chargers team that ranked 31st in rushing last season.29. Los Angeles Rams2015 record: 7-9 Post-draft ranking: No. 26The Rams appearance on Hard Knocks has proved one thing so far:?Jared Goff doesnt know which direction the sun sets. Luckily for Goff, his star will rise out west if he can improve the Rams NFL-worst 35.6 Total QBR from last season.30. Tennessee Titans2015 record: 3-13 Post-draft ranking: No. 30This ranking for the Titans is less a reflection of Marcus Mariotas potential and more a glimpse of the future under coach Mike Mularkey. Since a 9-7 coaching debut with the Bills in 2004, Mularkey is 9-32 as a head coach.31. Cleveland Browns2015 record:?3-13 Post-draft ranking: No. 32In the Browns preseason debut, Robert Griffin III?threw an interception and Cody Kessler ran out of the back of his own end zone for a safety. Its good to see the Browns got their quarterback situation figured out.32. San Francisco 49ers2015 record: 5-11 Post-draft ranking: No. 31Blaine Gabbert is 8-27 in his career as a starting quarterback and has the worst completion percentage and Total QBR since he entered the NFL. He is currently in contention for the 49ers starting job. Thats ... not good.
Telvin Smith Youth Jersey . Jeff Green scored 13 points and Kris Humphries 12 for the Celtics, who nearly blew an 18-point, second-half lead. Sullingers 20-20 was the first by a Celtics player since Kevin Garnetts first game in Boston in 2007. Garnett was dealt -- along with Paul Pierce -- to Brooklyn during the off-season.

Thousands of fans at Mosaic Stadium will be cozying up to each other in an effort to stay warm in chilly temperatures and block the Prairie wind that locals say can knock your socks off. LOS ANGELES -- The ex-girlfriend accusing NBA star Derrick Rose and his friends of rape spent Thursday battling her emotions as she tried to piece together a night she remembers only in flashes.Her vague recall and testimony that contradicted what she told lawyers during her deposition left her vulnerable to combative cross-examination by Roses lawyer as the Knicks player looked on with little reaction.In a soft voice that at times couldnt be heard by lawyers or jurors, the woman behind the $21.5 million lawsuit said she was intoxicated and felt like she had been drugged after a visit to Roses mansion in Beverly Hills in August 2013.Ive never felt like that before, the 30-year-old said. I just felt I was less in control, more goofy.As she began to connect a night of drinking at Roses place on Aug. 26, 2013, with the disputed incident early the next morning at her apartment, she took a long pause in her testimony and wept quietly, hiding her face behind a computer screen at the witness stand.Defense lawyer Michael Monico complained during a break that they couldnt have her crying all day and suggested the judge issue a no crying order.Im not going to order the witness not to cry any more than Im going to order her not to breathe, U.S. District Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald said.Rose, 28, and his friends Ryan Allen and Randall Hampton have denied the accusations in the lawsuit and claimed the woman willingly had sex with all three.The Associated Press is not naming the woman because it generally does not identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault.Roses lawyer used a string of text messages as a timeline to question the womans story and whether she even drank enough to black out hours later. And he questioned how she had managed to send lucid text messages during that period -- several of which invited Rose to her apartment.Whether you claim you were blacking out or not, you were using periods and sentences, attorney Mark Baute said.I dont usually text like that, she replied.Baute got her to concede she had lied to Rose in text messages earlier that day about plans she had and a stop at a sex shop she never made.The woman testified that she began dating Rose on and off over 20 months -- a relationship the defense has called friends with benefits -- after meeting him during the 2011 NBA lockout at a Hollywood nightclub.

She thought they had a future together, though Baute cast doubt on that.He showed that until that night in August, Rose had never been to her place, she never attended any of his games and during a visit when he was playing in Philadelphia, she never left their hotel.After they split up in early summer of 2013, she hadnt been in touch with Rose until the morning of Aug. 26 when she texted him a photo of herself and said he was her inspiration.He invited her over that night by text message and made overtures to bring a friend along for a threesome. She said she would come over for drinks.While waiting for a driver who was late to pick her up, she said she started drinking vodka because she was nervous. She had some wine in the car and said she had 3+ shots of tequila at the Beverly Hills mansion.She said she had previously had tequila with Rose and felt like it gave her strength, but this was the opposite, and said she felt drugged, a suggestion the defense denies.She only had vague recollections of what happened afterward. She left the Roses after her friend got in a fight with one of his friends and vaguely remembered a cabbie helping her up to her apartment. Inside, she vomited and passed out on the bed.I recall waking up and seeing them in my room, she said of the three men.In one of her flashes, she said, Rose was at the edge of her bed undressed and pulling her toward him. She was trying to roll off the bed.I just felt like I wanted to throw up, she said.She said she awoke the next morning with her black dress around her neck, lubricant on her legs and saw a used condom on her bedroom floor. She was confused about what had happened.She said she didnt go to the police because she was embarrassed and feared her name would become public and her family would find out.Baute asked if she didnt report the incident because she didnt want to be responsible for inviting someone over to her apartment for sexual intercourse at 3 a.m. and falsely accuse them of rape.I never did any of those things, she said.She reported the incident to police after filing the lawsuit more than two years later.
