REGINA -- Saskatchewan Roughriders running back Kory Sheets says hes embarrassed by the domestic violence charges that were filed against him earlier this year, but maintains hes ready to move on. Sheets talked to reporters Tuesday for the first time since news of his off-season legal troubles came to light. The charges were first reported by Saskatoon radio station CKOM. "Its something Im not proud of and Im really embarrassed that it happened," Sheets said. "I allowed myself to get put in a situation that wasnt beneficial to the team or myself, and really I just want to get past the situation. "Ive done all my obligations that the team wanted me to do and that the courts had me do and everybodys happy with the outcome." The charges were laid in January stemming from an incident near Tampa, Fla., but the state didnt prosecute the case after Sheets successfully completed a domestic violence program. Sheets didnt inform the team right away because he wanted to do so in person. Saskatchewan GM Brendan Taman said Sheets will be disciplined but didnt elaborate further. "Kory knows hes on his last strike with us," Taman said. "Regarding the (teams) code of conduct, every situations different and everything is handled on an individual basis, and Korys got on the wrong side of it right now. "Well see where it goes in the future but I think he knows where he stands." Taman said the team learned of the charges in March. He did not seem upset that Sheets took several weeks to inform the team of his situation. "Im not going to condone what he did in any way, shape or form but I think theres angst on his part to try and figure out what to do before he told us," he said. Sheets ran for 1,277 yards and 11 touchdowns as a rookie last season. He added 49 catches for 517 yards and two TDs.Cheap Stan Smith Shoes .

I cant pinpoint a date, but I do remember a player from my youth. Brian Downing was with the Chicago White Sox at a time when I listened to every game I possibly could on the radio.

Cheap Adidas Stan Smith China . -- Matt Kuchar and Harris English ran away with the Franklin Templeton Shootout, shooting a 14-under 58 on Sunday in the final-round scramble to break the tournament course record.BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Ravens have long relied on their defense to win, and it appears that might be the case again this season.Not if Joe Flacco has anything to do with it.Flacco spent much of Sunday afternoon frantically running from the pocket, and he had only one touchdown to show for it in a 16-10 loss to the Washington Redskins.The Ravens went three-and-out on four occasions, gained only 125 yards after halftime and were so ineffective offensively that even the home fans felt compelled to boo.Its frustrating. Im not happy, Flacco said. When you play like that, its embarrassing to run off the field in front of your home fans, in front of your teammates.In this wide open, pass-happy NFL, holding the opposition to 16 points usually results in a victory. The Ravens defense did its part; the offense did not, scoring its lone TD on the games first drive.Our defense is putting up awesome plays week after week and were just running off the field, Flacco said. It doesnt feel good as a quarterback, the leader of this offense, to do that.Even though the offense sputtered, the Ravens (3-2) nearly won anyway. Flacco drove them downfield in the final minute and would have pulled out a stunning comeback victory if Breshad Perriman had found a way to get his left foot in bounds on his potential touchdown reception with 30 seconds remaining.And so, the fifth straight game involving the Ravens to be decided by no more than six points went the way of the Redskins.Right now, were playing to win on the last drive or have our defense hold them on the last drive, and its not a good formula, Flacco said.Flacco bbegan the game operating behind a makeshift offensive line that was without injured left tackle Ronnie Stanley and lost tackle Rick Wagner to injury in the third quarter.dddddddddddd In addition, receiver Steve Smith left with a sprained ankle in the first quarter.Under duress for much of the day, Flacco essentially abandoned his trademark deep throw downfield for short flips to tight ends Dennis Pitta and Crockett Gillmore.Its definitely tough when youre hitting Dennis in a flat route on third down. Youre not giving yourself a chance, Flacco acknowledged. You call plays, and when theyre not open downfield you have to take what you have. When its not working, it doesnt look good.Coach John Harbaugh would not accept the depleted offense line and the loss of Smith as excuses for an offense that has thus far proven to be a burden to a defense that started the weekend ranked No. 1 in the NFL.We have to find our offense. Thats the story of the season, Harbaugh said. We didnt protect the quarterback particularly well. The running game was pretty good for the most part. But you cant just run the ball. Youve got to make some plays in the passing game.Terrance West rushed for 95 yards and the Ravens averaged a robust 6.2 yards per carry. But Flacco managed only 210 yards passing and was sacked three times.Everybody sees what we can be, West said. We have great players on this team. We just have to put it all together.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
