ALLEN PARK, Mich. Vans Shoes Clearance . -- The Detroit Lions didnt even play last weekend and still made progress. A loss by Minnesota left the Lions tied with the Vikings for first place in the NFC North.That hardly registered with coach Jim Caldwell.It doesnt affect us, positive or negative, Caldwell said Monday after his team came off its bye week. Were focusing on the next game.That next game is Sunday at home against Jacksonville. The struggling Jaguars (2-7) have lost four in a row, but Caldwell insisted they present plenty to worry about.Theyve got a fair amount of high draft picks on this team who are very capable players, Caldwell said. Theyve done a lot of good things.Theyre getting 4.2 (yards rushing) per carry, which is where wed like to be, he added. (Allen) Robinson catches the ball well. He has 48 catches and they have four more guys with at least 25 catches. They have two backs as good as any you can see and they have defensive guys who can run and hit. Thats going to be a problem. So weve got to be ready.Monday marked the first time the Lions had met the media since Donald Trump was elected president. When asked about it, Caldwell initially tried to deflect the question.I try to use this platform for what its meant for, and thats to talk about my team, he said. Leadership is important. I do know that. Had I voiced the same opinions as some of our candidates, I wouldnt have this job five minutes after I walked off this stage. Some of you as well. But yet the person has become the leader of the free world. So again, a different time and place, and Im moving forward.Offensive lineman Larry Warford said that, while Lions players did discuss the election, they kept it light.Guys have been giving it jokingly, he said, like anyone would about (Trump) winning, and a lot of conversations have come up and good talk, but its not like its unruly in here. Life goes on.Its that focus, special teams player Brandon Copeland said, that has helped lift the team to first place after a 1/3 start.Its nice to come off your bye week in contention, he said. But we also know that if we dont continue to do what weve done and win games, it doesnt mean anything. Not to go back to last year, but being 1-7, the only way we get to 7-9 was by focusing on one game at a time. Its nothing new or different to us. Its how weve been trained and how well continue to attack it.Game notes Caldwell said he did get away to spend time with his three grandchildren during the bye. My time with them is important, and I dont get enough of it, he said. Theyre growing up quickly. He also watched college football. I watched as much as I could, he said. Theres always something to learn. Vans Shoes Discount . Oaklands loss to Seattle clinched the ALs best record for the Red Sox with one day to spare in the regular season.

Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006. ELMONT, N.Y. -- Lewis Bay is a multiple graded stakes winner, but trainer Chad Brown said hes still not sure hes figured out this 3-year-old filly.On Saturday, Brown saw arguably the best performance to date from Lewis Bay, who took the lead soon after the start under Irad Ortiz Jr. and then dominated six overmatched rivals in the Grade 3, $200,000 Turnback the Alarm Handicap at Belmont Park.Always traveling well and in hand under Ortiz, Lewis Bay set modest fractions of 23.56 seconds for the quarter, 47.36 for the half-mile, 1:12.55 for six furlongs, and then opened it up turning for home and cruised to the wire a 5-1/4-length winner.Lewis Bay covered the 1-1/16 miles in 1:42.09 and returned $2.90 as the 2-5 favorite.Flora Dora rallied from well off the pace to get second by 7-1/4 lengths over Eskenformoney. She was followed by Smartly Agree, Rachels Temper, Linda Mimi, and Innovative Idea.The win was the fourth from nine starts for Lewis Bay, a daughter of Bernardini owned by John Clays Alpha Delta Stables. At 2, she won the Grade 2 Demoiselle at Aqueduct, and earlier this year she won the Grade 2 Gazelle, also at Aqueduct, before finishing third in the Kentucky Oaks.Shes been a horse thats had such a good season, yet theres still some things were trying to figure out about her, Brown said. Vans Shoes Wholesale. A couple of time in her races, shed move to her left lead in the lane, or shed wait on horses when she made the lead. She seems to have a lot of natural ability, but shes not quite a finished product yet.Brown said he left the race tactics up to Ortiz, who said he didnt see much speed in the race other than Innovative Idea. When that filly didnt break sharply, Ortiz took the initiative, and the race was over early.I was going to have to fight her too much to sit second or third, so I let her be there, Ortiz said. I was on the lead, I let her relax and tried to hold her together. For me, she was moving good, and she was comfortable, and thats why she finished better. She really impressed me today because she never finished that good.Brown said he would talk with Clay about whether to run Lewis Bay again this year or wait until her 4-year-old season. One possible spot in New York is the Grade 3, $250,000 Go for Wand, a one-turn mile at Aqueduct on Dec. 3. ' ' '
