2015, a boost to a potential U.S. bid for the 2024 Summer Games. Washington was
chosen Friday to host the general assembly of the Association of National
Olympic Committees, which represents more than 200 national bodies. The
announcement came at ANOCs current annual meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland,
following a pitch from U.S. Olympic Committee head Larry Probst. USOC spokesman
Patrick Sandusky said the dates for the 2015 meeting have not yet been set. The
U.S. last hosted the ANOC assembly in 1994 in Atlanta, ahead of the 1996
Olympics in the same city. The U.S. hasnt hosted the Summer Games since then.
New York failed in a bid for the 2012 Olympics, and Chicago was unsuccessful for
2016. The USOC, which has worked hard to improve its international standing, is
currently considering a bid for 2024. USOC chief executive Scott Blackmun said
this week the committee was in discussions with about 10 potential cities,
hoping to narrow the list to two or three by December. The USOC has until late
2014 to decide whether to bid. The IOC will choose the 2024 host city in 2017.

first half in which he thought "the lid was on the basket," the Toronto Raptors
coach watched his squad mount a second half surge to defeat the Cleveland
Cavaliers 98-91. When the Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs got together
for their twice yearly meetings over the last 57 years, theres always been a
certain edge to the competition.Generally what has been on the line is pride,
reputation and honor. Every once in a while the payoff is even larger. The
latter is the case Thursday night when the Raiders visit Arrowhead Stadium to
play the Chiefs. Kickoff is set for 7:35 p.m. in what is predicted to be a
frigid evening, with temperatures in the high-teens and a wind-chill factor that
will make it feel like 10 degrees.Honestly I love the cold, said Oakland
quarterback Derek Carr. I played in the Mountain West Conference and you play in
a lot of different places whether its Wyoming or Reno or Air Force or Colorado
State, obviously cold places. Ive had my fair share of those games; you treat it
like any other game whenever you talk about weather. If you let it affect you,
it will, so you just go out there with the right mindset.The weather conditions
just may help the 9-3 Chiefs cool off the hot 10-2 Raiders. The battle is for
control of the AFC West, where Oakland is the leader and the Chiefs sit a game
behind. But Kansas City won the first game between the teams 26-10 back in
October in Oakland. Since that game the Raiders have not lost, racking up six
consecutive victories by an average margin of nine points. Carr has become the
first player in NFL history to throw five game-winning touchdown passes in the
fourth quarter or overtime in a season.Both teams know each other, said Chiefs
head coach Andy Reid. Theyve made changes defensively that have made them better
on that side of the ball. Theyre playing very good all the way around in the
different phases. They were a little down on the defensive side early on but
theyve picked up in that area. Theyre flying around and making plays.Other than
a two-point loss to Tampa Bay just over two weeks ago, the Chiefs have continued
their winning ways, taking six of the last seven games.dddddddddddd With their
11-1 record to close out the 2015 season, Kansas City is 20-4 in their last 24
regular-season and postseason games. Both teams won last Sunday, with the Chiefs
beating the Falcons in Atlanta by one point and the Raiders coming from behind
for a victory over Buffalo.The short preparation time is the bane for all
players and coaches, especially the Chiefs, who have had two straight road
games, including the trip to Denver when they played a full 75 minutes. The
Raiders will be sore, tired and cold.The number one thing is recovery, said
Carr. In a week like this, theres some tough things that come with it, but like
Coach Del Rio says, Nobody cares. Nobody cares, at the end of the day you have
to go play.The Raiders have a half-dozen victories this season that came with
strong fourth-quarter comebacks. Its a mentality thats changed around Oakland
with Del Rio in charge.Were learning how to win games at whatever cost it takes,
said Carr. Whether its Khalil (Mack) stripping somebody or Tay (Latavius Murray)
running the ball in or Seth (Roberts) catching another game-winner, were just
learning how to win games. I think that the more experience we have at doing
that, the more situations were in were going to be able to look back and said,
Weve done this before.The first game between these teams was a 16-point victory
for the Chiefs. That day the Raiders did not have Murray, who was out with an
injury. He should be on the field Thursday evening. That K.C. victory was built
on ball control and security.Theyll need more of the same to slow the Raiders
locomotive.The positive is you get a few days off afterwards, said Reid. Getting
ready is a bit of a scramble drill, but you do it and you move on. Its hardest
on the players, especially the later you get in the year. ' ' '
