CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is satisfied he made his point to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell about not being treated fairly in the pocket.It was a great discussion, great talk, Newton said Wednesday, a day after he talked to Goodell by phone. I got my point across. He got his point across. Thats it.Newton complained after Sundays 30-20 victory over Arizona that he wasnt getting the same treatment as other quarterbacks regarding late hits in the pocket.The NFL MVP said the breaking point was a non-call on a hit below the knees in the third quarter that the league has since admitted should have been a penalty, sources told ESPNs Ed Werder.Newton said after the game that he felt unsafe in the pocket and wanted to speak with Goodell. That happened Tuesday.Illegal hits for me start in the pocket, Newton said. I know when I am running the football, I am on my own. I understand that. Im not a dummy or oblivious to the fact that I run the football more than any quarterback who has ever played this game. I mean, duh. Im fine with that.In the pocket, thats all Im asking for. Just to get certain things, the standard of every person getting the same calls, thats all.The opposition has not been penalized for roughing the passer against Newton since the 2014 season, even though Newton has been hit 59 times inside the pocket -- the ninth-highest total in the league. One was called in the season opener against Denver but negated by an intentional grounding penalty.During that same time, other high-profile quarterbacks -- New Orleans Drew Brees?(10), Tom Brady?(five),?Aaron Rodgers?(four) and?Russell Wilson?(three) -- have drawn multiple roughing-the-passer penalties.That was one of Newtons points to Goodell. Said Newton on whether things will change: Well wait to see Sunday and moving forward.Panthers coach Ron Rivera, who spoke to Goodell on Monday, echoed that only time will tell whether officials do more to protect his franchise quarterback.The nice part was the commissioner was a willing listener, Rivera said. It was great. The nice thing is we had an opportunity that needed to be said.At the end of the day, its not about special treatment. Its about being treated the same.Newton said his focus now is helping the Panthers (2-5) prepare for Sundays game at Los Angeles.Im not talking about Roger Goodell no more, he said. I understand that was probably a lot of attention in the media this past couple of days. As far as right now, Im in straight preparation for the Los Angeles Rams. Cheap New England Patriots Jerseys . LOUIS -- The New Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the string. Cheap Ryan Izzo Jersey . 1 position.

After Gasquet beat fifth-seeded Ivan Dodig of Croatia 7-5, 6-3, Tsonga followed up with a 6-7 (3), 6-2, 6-2 win against sixth-seeded Edouard Roger-Vasselin in an all-French match. Cheap Keion Crossen Jersey Patriots Jerseys Outlet . - After leading the Saints to a fourth playoff appearance in five seasons, Drew Brees expressed confidence in the direction of his team and, perhaps more importantly, showed a willingness to listen to contract proposals if the team needs his help getting under the NFLs salary cap. Writing after Englands excellent win at Edgbaston, I highlighted the inspirational way in which Alastair Cook had played the match. It was as if England fed from his optimism. There were only three days between then and the toss at The Oval, when he had the chance to bowl first on a pitch that looked perfect for the job. He chose to bat, a positive move in most circumstances.England reached 69 for 1 without undue alarm but were bowled for 328, a score well below expectation, never mind par. During his raft of post-match interviews, Cook pointed out that the pitch was anything but a minefield while at the same time admitting that, in hindsight, he wouldnt mind another crack at the game bowling first.My first thought is that Edgbaston took more out of England than they, or anyone else, realised. Much of their cricket at The Oval was lacklustre. The catching was atrocious. More often than not, catching is about concentration - assuming the talent is there in the first place. Even Cook, a naturally animated figure, lacked something of his usual brightness. My guess is that he chose to bat on local advice and on stats provided by Englands data analyst. Misbah-ul-Haq would have elected to bat too but more on hunch that history. Proof, then, that the old cricket saying Its a good toss to lose has traction.Worryingly, England were quickly derailed by the catch claimed by Yasir Shah at square-leg about half an hour into the first mornings play. The batsman, Alex Hales, took issue with the umpires at the end of the day, wanting to know why they gave it a soft out before referring it to the third umpire. Because they thought it was out, probably.Then, a tweet from Stuart Broad suggested something untoward from Yasir, which was unfair. Television evidence was inconclusive and the third umpire had no option but to endorse the original decision, which may well have been the right decision. Cricket is a game of rough and smooth. It was odd that England, or some of the England team, were so incensed by that decision. Their reaction did not follow the pattern of the summer, which has been to take rough and smooth as one. Irritable behaviour never serves a sportsman well because it distracts from the job at hand. Confronting umpires is beyond irritable.Back to Cook for a moment. He also said the defeat was a salutary reminder of how far the team had to go and that talk of being No.1 in the world was clearly premature. By this, he meant that only two of the front five batsmen are pulling their weight; that Moeen is a very handy off-spinner but not up to being the spinner; and that the two frontline seamers looked a little jaded. And if he didnt mean exactly that, the rest of us could see it.He spoke brightly about the series in general and emphasised the spirit between the teams. The captains are good men, whhich sure helps.dddddddddddd Misbah spoke about the legacy of Hanif Mohammed and, indirectly, dedicated the victory to him. He also cheered the fact that it came on Pakistans Independence Day.Misbah is a formidable man, whose batting has improved out of all recognition since he emerged on the Test scene as a late-enough developer 15 years ago. His calmness is a lesson worth absorbing for it reminds us that very little comes from over-reaction. In Urdu, Misbah means the lamp or light and fits Misbahs ability to lead other men with his serious but always considerate nature. Asked if he might retire, he simply said that he would do what is best for the team and for Pakistan cricket at large. Let us hope he sees that he is needed in New Zealand and Australia come November and December. He is 42, so running out of years, but he cleverly manages his limitations in the field and appears each day as if he has slept well.Pakistans achievement cannot be understated. The hammering in Manchester and the crumbling at Edgbaston on the final afternoon were hard to take. Perhaps the need to get back on the horse so soon was an advantage. On the one hand, the longer you dwell on failure, the harder it becomes to avoid. On the other, getting away from the game can be a tonic. My guess is that Misbah was eager to immediately go again because he could sense the vulnerabilities in Englands game. The quicker he could get at them, the quicker Edgbaston would be forgotten. After all, Pakistan had led by more than hundred on first innings in that match - a position they should not have let slip.Come The Oval, come Misbahs turn to provide the inspiration - of thought rather than deed this time. He chose not to dwell on frailties, but to pay attention to the strengths that had given Pakistan the advantage in the first place at Edgbaston, and at Lords. It was around these strengths - strong-willed batting, varied bowling and huge hearts - that his team constructed a famous performance and deserved to level the series.He stoked Younis Khan, who is an exceptional batsman and who found his best game in the nick of time. He promoted Asad Shafiq, who is a natural batsmen with a wit and charm for the business of making runs. He encouraged Sarfraz Ahmed, who is feisty and tasty - an amalgam of the best of Pakistans stumper-batsmen - to go harder. He recalled and wound up Wahab Riaz, who is fast and uncomplaining. He chivvied Yasir Shah, who is alive, interactive and involved. These men shone brightest at The Oval.It is the coach of each team who picks the opposition Man of the Series. Tellingly, Trevor Bayliss picked Misbah-up-Haq. Dont go Misbah, not yet. There are young men who need your light.
