EUGENE, Ore. Joe Montana Super Bowl Jersey . -- This wasnt a world record for Ashton Eaton -- just a runaway win and another trip to the Olympics.Not bad for a decathlete dealing with an injury.On a tender hamstring and a quadriceps that has given him problems in recent weeks, the defending Olympic champion scored 8,750 points to beat Jeremy Taiwo by 325 at the U.S. Track and Field Trials on Sunday. Thats well off Eatons world record of 9,045, set at the world championships last summer in Beijing.But consider this: No one in the decathlete field for the Rio Olympics has a personal best that matches Eatons mark from the trials.Hes simply in a different stratosphere these days. The only person who can compete against him is, well, a computerized model of himself.Its almost like I make a digital version of myself, try to compete against that, Eaton said. I had this little, mini sub-goal of trying to score 9,000 every decathlon. It would be cool never to go back to [8,000].At the previous Olympic trials, also at Hayward Field, Eaton broke the decathlon world record for the first time. Eugene has long been a special place for him. Its where he and his wife, Canadian heptathlete Brianne Theisen-Eaton, met while attending the University of Oregon and rose to prominence.Eaton said he was shooting for the record, but his leg made it impossible.I had the same mindset, Eaton said. I would say the expectations personally and externally were a little bit different.The 28-year-old Eaton was in such control that his coach, Harry Marra, told him to run the final event, the 1,500, at a slower pace than normal. There was no sense in putting extra wear and tear on the leg with the Olympic decathlon in six weeks. Eaton still ran event No. 10 in 4 minutes, 25.15 seconds, which was one of the top times.This meet defines Ashton Eaton way more than his world-record performances. Those were great performances, Marra said. But he had so many obstacles physically. ... He did this with a bum leg.It was a leg his coach wasnt sure would hold up during the 400 on Saturday, but it did. It was a leg Eaton wasnt sure would be ready for the 110-meter hurdles on Sunday, but it was.Through this competition, Eaton learned a little bit more about himself. He doesnt have to be super aggressive all the time. Smooth works almost as well.The reviews were pretty good, Eaton said. As a decathlon, if you dont leave with something frustrated, then you should quit because it was perfect.In command, Eaton even had time to take in some other events. He watched Chaunte Lowe win the high jump by holding hold off teenager Vashti Cunningham, the daughter of longtime NFL quarterback Randall Cunningham. He caught Jeffery Hendersons win in the mens long jump and Allyson Felixs blistering performance in the 400.Its nice to have a front-row seat as a decathlete on the field and get to see all that stuff, Eaton said. Those kinds of things are inspirational, and you try to learn from it. Sometimes, I try to pick up little things from the specialists.Taiwo had a solid performance to take second, while Zach Ziemek of Wisconsin wound up third. It was an event that was missing Trey Hardee, the 2012 Olympic silver medalist who didnt finish after he suffered a left hamstring injury on the first day.Eatons big plans now will be to squeeze in some rest before he and his wife head to Rio. There, Eaton has a chance to make a little history as he tries to defend his title. That hasnt been done in the decathlon since British star Daley Thompson won in 1980 and 84.That would be cool, Eaton said. Awesome company to be in, but there are really good competitors.Asked if he might chase after another world record in Rio, Eaton grinned.The Olympic Games are so much different from anything else, Eaton said. You dont even talk about world records, in a way. If its there at the very end, sure, Ill run to get it. Other than that, its event to event. Derrick Nnadi Super Bowl Jersey .

Khalen Saunders Super Bowl Jersey . -- Charline Labonte couldnt have asked for a better homecoming. http://www.thechiefsshoponline.com/Youth-Anthony-Hitchens-Chiefs-Jersey/ .Y. - Free agent outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, fresh off winning the World Series with Boston, reached agreement with the rival New York Yankees on a seven-year contract worth about $153 million, a person familiar with the negotiations said Tuesday night.Nigel Clough has hailed Burtons remarkable promotion to the Sky Bet Championship after drawing 0-0 with Doncaster on the final day on the season. The Brewers needed at least a point to seal an instant jump into Englands second tier, and managed to see out the game despite their rivals Walsall thrashing Port Vale 5-0. Clough originally joined the club when they were playing non-league football during the 1998/99 season as a player-manager and returned earlier this year after the departure of Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink to QPR. The former striker has now lead the club he made over 200 appearances for over ten years into the Championship for the first time in their history.When I was here before, we were in the Southern League Premier Division, going to Weymouth and Dorchester and having a bacon sandwich at 8am on a Saturday morning and all of a sudden, were in the Championship. It is truly, truly remarkable, Clough told Sky Sports. Burton players celebrate promotion to the Sky Bet Championship We saw the other result coming through and we thought that we could afford to concede and its fitting with all the clean sheets weve had that we secure it with a 0-0.We knew we could get a clean sheet today and it would be enough. The lads have got belief and thats what they can do. The previous two managers Gary Rowett and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink have instilled that into them and thats what you saw today.We were concerned about the winless run earlier in the season in some ways but we kept grinding it out and those points are very important. I just said to Tyler Walker, he got us a 93rd minute equaliser against Bury and that could have beenn the goal that got us up. Armani Watts Super Bowl Jersey. Highlights from Doncasters 0-0 draw with Burton from Sky Bet League One which was enough to guarantee the Brewers promotion. Burton go up to the Sky Bet Championship with a final tally of 85 points - two behind eventual champions Wigan - and will be playing the likes of Aston Villa, Leeds and Cloughs former side Nottingham Forest. But he isnt quite looking forward to life in a new division just yet, with the staff and players set for a celebration on Sunday evening.I havent even thought about next season, Clough added. Were going to have one of the biggest parties in Burton tonight I think its ever seen and were not even thinking about the Championship yet. Also See: Burton video Burton fixtures Burton stats ' ' '
