导出博客文章Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller shows no mercy for his divisional opponents
on the field -- as Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith could tell you --
but off the field, it seems he has a soft spot for his AFC West rivals.According
to Nicki Jhabvala of the Denver Post, Miller sent every player in the division
-- a total of 289, including those on practice squads and injured reserve -- a
bottle of custom wine and a thank-you note.A cabernet sauvignon called The
Setting, the wine was blended by Boulder, Colorado, native Jesse Katz and
features Millers autograph and an outline of orange eyeglasses on the label.The
note also features Millers autograph, along with a photo of the linebacker. The
text reads:It is an honor and a privilege to take the field and compete with you
twice a year. We are so fortunate to have this opportunity to fulfill our
childhood dreams of playing in the NFL. The blood, sweat, aches and pains, and
endless hours spent watching film are a testament to the love and dedication we
have for this game. So take a moment, reflect on all your successes, and enjoy
your accomplishment. Appreciate those who have helped you get this far, and
start working towards your next childhood dream.Thank you for helping to make
our game great!-Von MillerWith nearly 300 bottles sent, Miller can already check
off a good portion of his Christmas list. Were pretty sure he can afford the
kind gesture after signing the biggest deal for a defensive player in NFL
history last offseason.--David DeChant

.Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has drawn on his Syracuse connections
once again by hiring Rob Moore to take over as receivers coach. BELO HORIZONTE,
Brazil -- Brazil players have made it clear they will not fear Argentinas Lionel
Messi when the two sides meet for their high-profile World Cup qualifier on
Thursday.Messis return from injury prompted an exchange between the two sides on
Tuesday after Argentina striker Lucas Pratto, who plays for Brazilian club
Atletico Mineiro, said the hosts were frightened of the five-time world player
of the year.They know that Leo is very tough. They are a little scared, Pratto
told Argentine newspaper Ole. Or maybe more than a little.His claim was flatly
denied by Brazil captain Dani Alves, one of the Argentina stars closest friends
and a former teammate at Barcelona.There is no such thing as being scared in
football. There is respect for Messi and for Argentina. And they feel the same
about our players, our team, the right back said after Tuesdays training session
at the Mineirao stadium in Belo Horizonte.Winger Douglas Costa also kept a sense
of perspective, saying: (Brazil) has to do what it has been doing -- regardless
of Argentina.However, Brazil defender Marquinhos added a note of caution about
Messi, saying: We have to be perfect. With the tiniest mistake, he can dribble,
he can score.Messi has missed Argentinas last three qualifying matches with an
injured left knee, and the results showed with draws against Peru and Venezuela,
and a 1-0 loss against Paraguay.He scored in a 1-0 victory over Uruguay in
September in the only match hes played under Argentina coach Edgardo
Bauza.Thursdays game takes place in the Mineirao sstadium where Brazil was
humiliated two years ago in a 7-1 loss to Germany in the World Cup
semifinals.ddddddddddddll 62,000 seats are expected to be taken as the hosts
focus on containing Messi, rather than the ghosts of the 2014 World Cup
debacle.He (Messi) is extremely intelligent and has a great finishing skill, so
we have to do double marking on him whenever we can, Brazil midfielder Renato
Augusto said. We have to close the gaps for all Argentina players, and we have
to remove Messis passing angle whenever he has the ball.Alves said Brazil will
have a tough time stopping near perfect Messi.His greatness comes from the fact
he doesnt believe he is that great, it is what makes him different from the
rest, the defender said.Alves added that he will wear the number 4 shirt in the
game as a tribute to Brazil great Carlos Alberto Torres, who died in
October.Argentina, World Cup runners-up two years ago against Germany, is five
points behind group leader Brazil. It needs points on Thursday and next week in
a difficult match against Colombia.Brazil leads qualifying with 21 points,
followed by Uruguay with 20 and Ecuador and Colombia with 17. Chile and
Argentina have 16 points each.The top four teams qualify automatically for the
World Cup. The fifth-place team could advance through a playoff.Brazil has won
four straight matches since coach Tite took over after the five-time World Cup
champions fired Dunga. ' ' '
