ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Rex Ryan took exception to?Colts owner Jim Irsays suggestion that the reason Indianapolis sat?Andrew Luck was that the Buffalo Bills coach doesnt let up in the preseason.Take a look at the tapes, and see how many times we blitzed, Ryan said before pausing to collect his thoughts.I can tell you one thing, [Colts coach] Chuck Paganos a good friend of mine, a legitimate, good friend of mine. I have way more respect for him than I do others.Ryans comment was clearly directed at Irsay following Buffalos preseason-opening 19-18 loss to the Colts on Saturday night.Two hours before the game, Irsay announced on his Twitter account that the Colts would wait until next week at home for Luck to make his first preseason start.Irsay followed with a second tweet:Pagano said it was his decision to sit Luck against Buffalo. Pagano didnt waver when reminded that he was prepared to have Luck play a week earlier against Green Bay in the Hall of Fame game, before it was canceled because of an unplayable field.Its one of the benefits that you get when youre the head coach, Pagano said with a smile. You get to decide who plays and who doesnt play.Without Luck, backups Scott Tolzien and Stephen Morris teamed up to pull off a victory.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report. Air Max 270 Wholesale . PETERSBURG, Fla. Air Max 270 Sale Online . -- The Magic have their first victory of the new year. http://www.airmax270cheapsale.com/ . Haas said he "felt a lot of pain" in his right shoulder when he slammed his racket to the ground in frustration after losing his serve at 3-3 in the first set. Air Max 270 Cheap China . Ashley Youngs cross was inadvertently headed by Chester into his own net in the 66th minute, allowing United to claim a third straight league win. "We had to dig deep with our fighting spirit and weve done that," United striker Wayne Rooney said. Air Max 270 Cheap Sale . Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes. On a day filled mostly with qualifying matches, fifth-seeded Marcel Granollers of Spain also entered the second with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 win over Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia, while Guido Pella of Argentina defeated Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 7-6 (6), 6-4 to advance. In 2002, Carlton won their first wooden spoon in 105 years of VFL/AFL footy.In 1999, Collingwood claimed just the second in their illustrious history.And this year, it could be a fate that befalls Essendon for the first time since 1933.Sundays clash between Essendon and Brisbane shapes as the 2016 wooden spoon decider.The Bombers and Lions have been far and away the worst sides this season.Each has a sole win in 16 matches.Essendons triumph came in round two against Melbourne while Brisbanes four points were earned against Gold Coast two weeks later.While the Bombers form has improved to passable, the Lions are plumbing new lows.Both are on club-record losing streaks.But if an Essendon side missing 12 key players due to season-long doping bans have circled this fixture as one to get up for, they arent saying so.Young forward Joe Daniher said the spoon wasnt at the forefront of Essendon minds.Were trying to build a brand of footy thats going to hold up for a long period of time, he told reporters on Monday.Not just the remainder of this year or next.We want something thats going to be sustained. Its really important that we start building that now and I think were on the right path in doing so.The problem for the Dons is that very rarely do bottom sides successfully make the jummp to winning flags.ddddddddddddThe AFL rewards the worst team in the competition with the No.1 draft pick but a look at the history books shows the importance of avoiding last place.Only one side in the last 40 years has turned last place into a premiership within a decade of bottoming out.That was Brisbane in 1998, a season when the Lions still managed five wins and a draw - the best return of a last-placed side over that same 40-year stretch.If theres good news for Essendon it could come from the Brisbane camp.Key defender Daniel McStay has been ruled out for the season with a broken ankle, Stefan Martin could be laid out with a rib complaint and coach Justin Leppitsch talked of a painful pathway ahead for Lions fans.The second-year coach suggested the competition was rigged against his side after a disheartening defeat to GWS Giants.They were just too good, he said.The Giants had the benefit of a lot of really high talented first-round picks and an extended salary cap.Were not afforded those luxuries.Everyone knows about our debt issues. No one counts the debt that the two new clubs put into the competition but were reminded of (ours) every day. ' ' '
