PHILADELPHIA - Robert Griffin III left Lincoln Financial Field with a sprained left shoulder Sunday, the quarterback said at his postgame news conference following the Cleveland Browns 29-10 season-opening loss to the Eagles.The play happened, and you just got to move on from it, Griffin said. You know, sprained shoulder. Just gotta monitor it and see how it goes.Griffin said he hurt pretty bad after he was hit by cornerback Jalen Mills at the end of an 11-yard run with 3 minutes, 41 seconds left and the Browns down 22-10. He also said he was in pain as he spoke postgame.Well see more tomorrow, see how my shoulders feeling and Ill go from there, Griffin said.The Browns said Griffin will undergo more tests on his left shoulder, which at least brings his availability into question for Sundays game against Baltimore.Griffin did not use his left arm a lot as he was getting dressed. At one point, he reached across his body with his right arm to take something out of his left pocket.He finished dressing in the training room after taking his shirt in with him. Trainers also were paying close attention to Griffin after the game, which would be typical, given Griffins description of his sprain.I can move my left arm, Griffin said. Im in pain, but Ill be OK.Griffin had been criticized during his tenure in Washington for not sliding or protecting himself, something Browns coach Hue Jackson had demanded he do in Cleveland.In the preseason, Griffin slid early and often, and he was praised by Jackson for doing so. But on this late scramble, he didnt head directly to the sidelines or slide -- even though there was room to do both.I was trying to get out of bounds, Griffin said. He kind of just surprised me there. I feel like I had done a decent job of protecting myself recently. I wanted to continue that. To get hit him that moment kind of surprised me there.It almost looked like Griffin ran right into Mills, who had little choice but to make the tackle at the Browns 15-yard-line.Mills said Griffin got to him quickly. As soon as I saw him get out of the pocket, the tight end got up on me and I shed the block on him, Mills said. Next thing I know he was right behind the blocker.Just an unfortunate play, Griffin said. Just trying to fight for as many yards as we could. Try to go score a touchdown and put us in the best position to try to win the game. It hurt pretty bad.Griffin stayed in the game as the Browns went for the first down on fourth-and-4, but he took another shot throwing incomplete to Andrew Hawkins. Griffin was examined after going to the sidelines, but he did not want to leave the game. He returned for the Browns final three offensive plays, but Jackson did not take a chance and called three runs.As Griffin stood at the podium for his postgame news conference, his cell phone rang.Its my mother, Griffin said with a smile. Shes really worried about me. Air Max 270 Clearance .

Clearance Air Max 270 Outlet . JOHNS, N.With Alex Rodriguez name in the news practically on a daily basis, the debate has heated up again as to whether he is the greatest shortstop of all-time. Most historians believe Pittsburgh Pirates legendary Hall of Famer Honus Wagner deserves that title. After all , he won eight batting titles, and lead the National League in stolen bases five times. He was also one of five men named to the very first Hall of Fame Class, tying with Babe Ruth in the number of votes he received and trailing only Ty Cobb. That was a different time though, the "Deadball Era" and few if any people are living today who actually saw Honus Wagner play. Of the "Modern Era" shortstops you would have to consider Cal Ripken Jr. Ozzie Smith, Robin Yount and Derek Jeter. But for arguments sake Im going to look at one of my personal favourites "Mr. Cub" Ernie Banks. Most fans, my age or younger would only remember Banks as a first base slugger. However he began his career as a shortstop and was a dominant player in the 1950s. Banks played eight full seasons at shortstop, the same number as A-Rod, before he moved to third base in deference to Jeter when he arrived with the Yankees. Banks hit 512 home runs over his career, 298 while playing short. Five times he knocked in over 100 runs peaking in 1959 when he drove in 143, again while playing short. Four times he led the National League in extra base hits and four times he slugged over 40 home runs in a season. In 1959 and 1960, he led the National League in intentional bases on balls. Banks was a 15 time All-Star, though, in some years of his career, there were two All-Star games in the same season. He won the Most Valuable Player Award back to back in 1959 and 1960, again as a shortstop. He was also sixth in the MVP voting in 1957 and fourth in 1960. The incredible thing about Banks career is, for all his greatness, he never once made it to the post-season. The Cubs routinely finished second in the division and late in his career, they fell apart down the stretch and watched the 1969 Mets pass them and ultimately win their first World Series. Banks was elected the Hall of Fame in 1977, when Alex Rodriguez was barely two years old.dddddddddddd So, how does A-Rod stack up against Banks? Well Rodriguez won two Gold Gloves as a shortstop in 2002 and 2003 at Texas, his final two years as a shortstop before moving to the Yankees. Banks had only one, in 1960, his second last season as a shortstop. A-Rod hit 340 homers as a shortstop, 42 more than Banks did while at short. Rodriguez is a three time MVP, in 2003 with the Rangers and 2005 and 2007 with the Yankees. He also won seven Silver Sluggers for his hitting ability while at short. A-Rod has been an All-Star in 14 of his 19 seasons, one fewer than Banks, but again during some of Ernies seasons, there were two All-Star games in the same season. Rodriguez has 2,901 career hits, already surpassing Banks total. A-Rod has also drive in 1,950 runs, the most of any active player. He also has 647 home runs in total and his career batting average is right on .300. In fact in his eight years as a shortstop, he only hit below .300 twice, and he won a batting title in 1996, hitting .358 with Seattle. A-Rod also has stolen 318 bases over his career, while Banks only stole 50, though to be fair, the stolen base wasnt as in vogue in 50s. I mentioned earlier Banks never made it to the post-season. Rodriguez has, playing in 18 series, including one World Series. However, his numbers in the playoffs arent exactly overwhelming. He hit .263 with 13 homers and 41 runs batted in. His playoff teams won eight series and lost 10, though A-Rod did win the World Series in 2009 with the Yankees over Philadelphia. The numbers would seem to weigh in Rodriguez favour, but then you have to consider the whole person and his character. Banks entered the Majors in the early 1950s following the trail blazed by Jackie Robinson, when he broke the "colour" barrier in 1947. Banks ascended the ranks in difficult times and was revered for his class, his personality and his talent. A-Rod is really only known for the latter. Rodriguez may well be the greatest shortstop this side of Honus Wagner, but its men like Ernie Banks who are the true Hall of Famers.
