The NFL is reviewing two plays Sunday by Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict -- a low hit on New England Patriots?tight end?Martellus Bennett, who said Burfict apologized after the game and stated it wasnt intentional, and an alleged stomp on Patriots running back?LeGarrette Blount after a late touchdown. LeBron James Lakers Jersey .The Bennett play came with 11:22 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Patriots 35-17 win, on third-and-2. Burfict was seen lunging at the lower left leg/knee of Bennett as a pass was thrown downfield to receiver Danny Amendola for a 17-yard gain. Burficts lunge might have been the result of quarterback?Tom Bradys pump fake in that direction. Burfict also appeared to stub his left toe as he reacted to the fake.Regarding the second play, coaches film of the game appeared to show Burfict deliberately stepping on Blounts leg after his late fourth-quarter touchdown run, as Blount lay on the ground.?In reference to the first play, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said he wasnt concerned because the league looks at every play.He goes on the pump fake, Lewis said. We were coaching him to keep his head up in order to make a better football play and not react as hard as he can. He [Brady] pump-faked a couple of times and ended up getting sacks, or he pump-faked a couple of times and made plays for them, and that was one of them.From our coaching standpoint, we want to make sure, as we come in to defend the ball, we are able to defend with the arms so you have the chance to get the ball loose and off of them.Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Monday that the Patriots would let the league talk about that play. Its their decision.A replay on the CBS broadcast showed that Bennett was slow to get up after the hit.Things happen in a game. It usually doesnt happen that way, but he apologized. He said he didnt try to do it, Bennett said after the game. Its part of the game.Burfict was also seen helping Bennett up after tackling him on one play.?A players history can factor into potential NFL discipline. Burfict has been fined $204,329 since entering the league in 2012, not including three lost game checks for a total of $502,941 in base salary this season.A decision on potential discipline for Burfict is expected no later than Wednesday afternoon, a league source told ESPN. NFL vice president of football operations Jon Runyan and his staff have been reviewing tape of the two on-field incidents.Burfict has not been fined this season since returning in Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins. He was suspended for the first three games of 2016 for repeated violations of player safety in the Bengals-Steelers AFC wild-card game last season, including a hit on Antonio Brown that resulted in a concussion for the wide receiver.Late in Sundays game, Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski was penalized for taunting. On the play before, he butted helmets with Burfict as emotions were rising.Gronkowski said after the game that he hadnt seen Burficts low hit on Bennett, and added, It didnt affect anything.During Bradys weekly interview on sports radio WEEI on Monday, the QB said he didnt see the low hit.You have to deal with that sometimes, Brady said. I think we were dealing with that most of the day. ... I havent seen it, so Im sure Ill have some different thoughts.Later in the interview, when asked if Gronkowskis taunting penalty is the type of penalty that is OK to accept based on the circumstances, Brady said, It always gets kind of chippy with the Bengals. Theyve had a history of that with particular players on their team, and it just kept going back and forth. Gronk was making a bunch of good plays on them, and Im sure they didnt like it.Its just one of those things. Id rather us not take those. Id rather us just be poised and get back to the huddle and make them pay on the scoreboard, but sometimes in football, it just happens.Asked whether he views the Bengals as a dirty team, Brady answered, I think they just play a tough, physical style, and when they hit you, they hit you hard. I dont say dirty. Ive never said that about any team. Its football. Its a physical sport. Some teams play more physical than others. The trademark of that team is to read the quarterback and break on the quarterback and hit hard. Thats how its been for a long time. Kurt Rambis Jersey . Only three players drafted by NHL clubs were included on the Czech selection camp roster on Wednesday. Those players were Dallas Stars 2012 first-rounder Radek Faksa, Winnipeg Jets 2013 fourth-rounder Jan Kostalek and Phoenix Coyotes 2012 seventh-rounder Marek Langhamer. Jerry West Lakers Jersey . Jason Zucker and Matt Cooke also scored for Minnesota, which has won five of six. Kuemper made five saves in the first, nine in the second, and nine in the third. The rookies best save came with 2:17 left in the third period when he denied former Wild forward Matt Cullen from just outside of the crease on the right side. http://www.lakersteamofficial.com/Wilt-C...-Lakers-Jersey/ .S District Court against Major League Baseball, the Office of the Commissioner and his own union, the MLBPA. ATHENS, Ga. -- Georgia running back Nick Chubb has been cleared to play in the 18th-ranked Bulldogs season opener against No. 22 North Carolina inside the Georgia Dome on Saturday.Hes been cleared, coach Kirby Smart said during his weekly news conference Monday. Its a situation where hes scrimmaged and done live things. Had a lot of practices where hes carried it more than five or seven times. We feel good about Nick, he feels great, and hes ready to go. He wont technically be on a pitch count by any means.Chubb has been ahead of his rehab schedule for months since he damaged several knee ligaments when he went down awkwardly on his first carry against Tennessee in October. The junior, who has rushed for 2,294 yards and 21 touchdowns in less than two full seasons of work, will return from his horrific knee injury less than a year later.He averaged an SEC-high 8.1 yards per carry last season and had a string of 13 straight 100-yard rushing games before his injury.Sophomore defensive lineman DaQuan Hawkins-Muckle said he has been impressed with Chubbs quick recovery and thinks hes actually been more physical in preseason practices.Me looking at him, hes ready, Hawkins-Muckle said. ... Hes even more physical than he was before. Nick Chubbs always been a hard runner. ... Hes an even harder runner [now].While Chubbs status for Saturdays game is confirmed, backup Sony Michels availability is still up in the air. The sophomore is recovering from a fractured left forearm he suffered over the Fourth of July weekend. Smart said that doctors have not cleared Michel to tackle live, leaving his availability for Saturday unknown.The situation is day-to-day, and were getting updates every day, Smart said. Hes doing more. Hes practiced.Georgias depth chart lists senior Brendan Douglas, who has 715 career rushing yards, or Chubb as the starters for Saturdays game.Sophomore wide receiver Terry Godwin Jr.?said Chubbs return makes the Bulldogs offense more formidable for opposing defenses, but it will also help open up a passing game that features a host of unproven players.The defense that were going play against, theyre always going to fear the run, knowing that we have someone back there thats going to dominate the run, Godwin said.As for who will be the first person throwing the ball for the Bulldogs thhis weekend, thats still unknown. JaVale McGee Lakers Jersey. Smart said senior Greyson Lambert and true freshman Jacob Eason are taking the most reps in practice, and the starting job will come down to those two. Junior Brice Ramsey has performed well in practice, Smart said, but the other two have distanced themselves from him of late. Ramsey is also listed as a punter on Georgias depth chart.Smart anticipates the quarterback situation sorting itself out before Saturday, but he hasnt ruled out possibly playing both Lambert and Eason against the Tar Heels.Well see how it goes, Smart said. First thing we have to do is figure out whos taking the first snap before we worry about the next guy coming in. I think itll reveal itself in the next couple of days, and well continue to get those guys reps and get both of those guys ready to play.Eason, who was the No. 1-rated quarterback in the 2016 recruiting class by ESPNs RecruitingNation, has seen his number of first-team reps increase over the past month and is pegged as the future at the position. Smart made it clear that he isnt opposed to starting the true freshman right out of the gate if he proves to be the Bulldogs best option.Were going to play the guy that gives us the best opportunity to win, Smart said. Weve stayed firm on that the whole way through. I have no reservations about a guys age. If youre old enough to play, then youre old enough to start. If youre good enough to play, then youre good enough to start.Said Hawkins-Muckle of Eason: Hes maturing faster than hes had to, but I feel like when he gets in and gets his opportunity, hes going to get the job done.Smart also announced that suspended defensive lineman Jonathan Ledbetter is still undergoing treatment for substance abuse stemming from two alcohol-related arrests this year, including an arrest on a DUI charge in July. Smart said Ledbetter is practicing and working out with the team.Freshman defensive lineman Julian Rochester is available to play Saturday, Smart said. Rochester was arrested along with now-dismissed defensive back Chad Clay in April on felony charges of possessing a weapon (BB gun) in a school zone and second-degree criminal damage to property.
