HOMESTEAD, Fla. -- Carl Edwards latest championship loss might have been even more painful than his first.Leading the NASCAR season finale with 10 laps to go and closing in on his first title, Edwards wrecked while blocking fellow contender Joey Logano on a restart Sunday night.Logano turned Edwards sideways and sent him sliding across traffic at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Kasey Kahne slammed into Edwards rear bumper, lifting the No. 19 Toyota off the ground. Edwards spun, hit the outside wall and came to a stop on the track. Edwards climbed out, stood on the banking -- not too far from his wrecked race car -- and watched a replay on a big screen.Edwards shook his head and muttered damn as he realized he essentially caused the melee.I couldnt go to bed tonight and think that I gave him that lane, Edwards said.The move cost Edwards and Logano.I dont blame him, Logano said. He had to throw the block. Its the only move I had. Im not going to look back at it and second guess that move. I had to do that. Thats the only play I had. ... I understand why he had to throw the block and he understands why I had to make the move because that was for the win.That was the only shot that I had. That was for the race win. Its 10 to go. What do you expect? Its for a championship.Jimmie Johnson ended up winning the race, tying a NASCAR record by claiming his seventh championship. Logano finished fourth, two spots ahead of Kyle Busch. Edwards was 34th. Johnson, Logano, Busch and Edwards were the only title contenders in the finale.We had a few moments there throughout the day that we thought we were kind of on the outside looking in and didnt really see a very good shot of winning it, said Busch, who battled back from a lap down to have a shot down the stretch. And then all of a sudden it seemed like we had a really good shot to win the thing. We were up front and kind of driving away from those guys behind us ... and then we were out of it again.Edwards handled the loss with so much class that several colleagues celebrated him for it.Edwards brushed off a request to take an ambulance ride to the infield care center, instead making the trip on foot. He stopped by Loganos pit stall, climbed up on the box, chatted with crew chief Todd Gordon and shook hands with everyone up there.Yeah, no apology, Edwards said. I just wanted to say, `Hey, thats just racing and good luck to you guys. Theres so much on the line. I dont want to be anything extra to mess with Joey.Edwards got checked out in the care center and then gave a pep talk to family and friends, high-fiving each of them. It was a show of sportsmanship rarely seen in defeat in NASCAR, especially with so much on the line. He was even more supportive of his team, including crew chief Dave Rogers.They put it in my hands, Edwards said. Thats all you can ask for. ... It didnt work out. This is life. We performed well. We did our best. I just risked too much and Dave told me before this race its a pretty big reward and remember risk gets reward and I just had to push it.Edwards led 47 laps before finishing 34th in the race and fourth in the final standings.But his season will be remembered for another oh-so-close ending.Five years ago, Edwards and Tony Stewart had a head-to-head showdown at Homestead for the title. Edwards, then driving for Jack Roush, started the finale with a three-point lead in the standings and did everything he could from the minute he arrived in Florida. His Roush Fenway Racing team put his Ford on the pole, he led a race-high 119 of the 267 laps and still finished second to Stewart.Stewart and Edwards finished tied in the final Sprint Cup Series points standings -- a first in NASCAR history -- and Stewart took the tiebreaker based on his five victories to Edwards one.Edwards started watching a replay of that 2011 race earlier this week, but ended up turning it off in disgust.He surely wont want to watch this one, which left him still without a championship in 12 full seasons at the Cup level. And as much as the restart ended Edwards night, a late caution caused by little-known driver Dylan Lupton caused as much frustration.I just hated to see that caution, Edwards said. That was very, very frustrating. I felt like that was our race and our championship, but hey this is how racing goes.---More AP auto racing: www.racing.ap.org Bruce Ellington Jersey . -- San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks was fined $15,570 by the NFL on Wednesday for his hit on Saints quarterback Drew Brees last Sunday.

There will be more to Anthony Davis this NBA season.Davis, who was listed at 6-foot-10 last season and was measured as 6-10? in shoes at the 2012 draft combine, said that he is now officially 6-foot-11.They measured us like a week and a half ago and they said I was 6-11, which I dont want to be, he told the Pelicans in-house podcast, The Black And Blue Report. I think 6-10s like the perfect height for me. It just doesnt sound right; 6-10 sounds perfect to me. 6-11, 7 feet. ... I dont like it.I will always tell everybody 6-10. I dont care if Im 7-3. Im 6-10.The 23-year-old also said he played last season at 243 or 245 pounds but is now up to 250. He was listed at 253 pounds last season.I got to see how I feel playing at that weight, he said. I really love playing at 245, but well see. I havent played at 250 yet. I mean, [Ive played] pickup, but thats not really a real game. Ill see. Ill test it out in preseason and see. After a while, just play.I dont want to get under 245 though. If I do drop weight, I dont want to get under 245.Davis has yet to play in 70 games in each of his first four seasons but said at Fridays media day that he can withstand a full season. He said on the podcast that offseason training strengthened his body in the right ways in order to avoid some of the injuries that have previously kept him off the floor.dddddddddddd.Now if I get hit in the shoulder, yknow, it was nothing, Davis said. Its not harmful to my body. Where, before when I would get hit, I got aches and pains, and everything like that.The New Orleans Pelicans star underwent the first major procedure of his career, an ultrasonic debridement of his left knee, in March, but reiterated that all signs point to the issue being a one-time thing.It was just the way that Ive always been taught to play the game, he said. I never had no one correct me on how I should squat or how I should jump, or anything like that. Constant pounding and constant pressure on your knees when youre squatting or jumping or running, or whatever, the wrong way is gonna stir some things up inside the knee. So it wasnt anything that was significant or out of the ordinary.Davis averaged 24.3 points, 10.3 rebounds and two blocks with a 25.0 player efficiency rating in 61 games last season for the Pelicans, who finished 12th in the Western Conference at 30-52.
