recent visit to ESPNs campus in Bristol, Connecticut. They all kind of feed off of each other -- its a great time to be a wrestl Antworten

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- With his team coming off its first loss of the season, New England coach Bill Belichick has been in no mood to dwell on the return of a certain quarterback this week.Right now our focus is on Cleveland, trying to get ready to go in Cleveland. We cant do anything about what it was or wasnt the last four weeks, Belichick said. Thats it, period. This week, Cleveland.Tight end Rob Gronkowski agreed with his coachs assessment, with one caveat.Its just like any other week, except Toms back at quarterback, baby, he said.After a quiet first two days since the expiration of his Deflategate suspension, Brady and the Patriots returned to the practice field Wednesday for the first time to begin preparations for the Browns.Though banned from the Patriots facilities during his suspension, Brady was allowed to workout with personal trainer Alex Guerrero and kept busy throwing passes with former Patriots receiver Wes Welker.But it remains unclear just how game ready he is, and how much rust he needs to peel away prior to Sundays trip to Cleveland.After missing the preseason opener to attend a memorial service, and then accidentally cutting his thumb prior to the second preseason game, Brady had limited reps with new additions like Martellus Bennett and Chris Hogan. The same was true with Gronkowski, who didnt dress for any preseason games and was limited by an ongoing hamstring injury.Weve been practicing with Tom for a while now. So weve got to go out and do what weve done since the first day Ive been here, Gronkowski said. We just gotta go out there and work hard. I dont see why things are gonna change just like that. We had all camp. We just gotta focus on the Browns, prepare for the Browns and do what we gotta do as an offense.Danny Amendola said the first successful completion Brady made with him since his return came in the form of a big hug.As for what happens between now and Sunday, he expects that will take care of itself.I know hes been working hard wherever hes been. Thats no secret to me, and its every day for him, Amdendola said. Im sure it will all come natural for him.Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels thinks that simply being around teammates and following their normal routine would go a long way in getting the 39-year-old quarterback back up to speed.I think experience helps any player. If theyre injured or what have you, they come back, or if they miss some time for whatever reason, McDaniels said. But I also think theres an acclimation period in the game of football thats hard to simulate unless youre playing football.Brady may not have to be at peak shape against a Browns defense that is yielding 28.8 points per game -- ranking 27th in the NFL.Brady has also had lots of success against Cleveland, having won five of his six career starts against the Browns, while racking up seven career 400-yard passing efforts.That includes the last meeting between the teams in 2013 in which Brady passed for 418 yards and two touchdowns, including a 1-yard strike to Amendola with 31 seconds remaining that proved to be the game winner.This game is on the road, but Amendola anticipates seeing a giddier quarterback than usual.Hes gonna be juiced up. Were all gonna be ready, were all gonna be juiced up, he said. Were gonna have a lot of good energy out there. Were excited to get one good day of practice under our belt today and go from there.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Kyle Hightower on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/khightower Adidas Superstar Australia .

The world of wrestling in 2016 is unlike any era the business has ever seen. Theres more access to wrestling content, a wide variety of styles and programming to choose from and more opportunity to interact with wrestlers than theres ever been.In 2016, being a wrestling fan is fun.With events like the WWE Cruiserweight Classic, fans are more aware than ever of the kinds of top-level competition available in the world of independent wrestling, more aware of the next generation of up-and-coming-talent. Streaming networks like the WWE Network and New Japan World, plus numerous other wrestling services that have popped up in the past couple of years to provide live streaming, pay-per-views and on-demand content, have created an overwhelming amount of wrestling at everyones fingertips.WWEs third brand, NXT, has thrived in this environment, for many of the same reasons that organizations like Ring of Honor, New Japan Pro Wrestling and a number of other companies are doing so well and have for some time: NXT has stripped the product down to focus on the in-ring wrestling, using performers who are more than capable of showcasing charisma when called upon to wield a microphone.While NXT has piggybacked on a style forged by these long-standing independent giants and absorbed some of the wrestlers from these companies, theres not much in the way of bad blood among the performers. In fact, its quite the opposite, as the more eyes that end up watching a product like NXT, the more likely that some of the audience is going to dig deeper about the wrestlers, their origins and their styles.The more popular a thing like NXT or WWE gets with that style, the more popular Ring of Honor will get, said Adam Cole, the reigning Ring of Honor world champion, during a recent visit to ESPNs campus in Bristol, Connecticut. They all kind of feed off of each other -- its a great time to be a wrestler.The modern era of wrestling is also a great time to be an ROH talent, in particular. ROH has held a unique position within the world of wrestling for much of the past 14 years by being consistently ahead of the curve,? producing matches and casting a spotlight on wrestlers who have consistently gone on to the highest levels of the business. Of the 20 men to hold the ROH world championship, nine have spent significant time in the WWE (three have held world titles in the WWE and another won the NXT championship).Things are unquestionably also great for Cole, whos joined two unique fraternities in the past few months. Firstly, after defeating Jay Lethal, hes one of only three wrestlers to become a two-time ROH world champion. Just as importantly, hes joined the ranks of the most wildly popular factions in all of professional wrestling -- the Bullet Club.No single entity in wrestling better embodies how much fun wrestling is, and how much fun the wrestlers themselves can have, than the Bullet Club. Its current iteration features the Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, Cole, Adam Page, Yujiro Takahashi, Bad Luck Fale, The Guerillas of Destiny and Scott Halls son Cody, among others. Past members include Finn Balor, AJ Styles, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows who, perhaps not coincidentally, have been associated with factions and catchphrases like The Club and Balor Club since joining the WWE.The Young Bucks and Omega (collectively known as The Elite, a subfaction of The Bullet Club) have done more to break down the long-standing imaginary walls that used to stand between wrestlers working in competing organizations. They unapologetically called out The New Day and challenged them on Twitter, enthralling wide swaths of wrestling fandom who salivate the same way abouut a New Day vs.dddddddddddd Elite interpromotional showdown as fans of a different era dreamed of a Steve Austin vs. Goldberg or Sting vs. Undertaker match in the Monday Night Wars era.While the likelihood of an actual match between the two factions while each is under contracts to different organizations is unlikely, Omega made a seemingly unlikely series of appearances on Xavier Woods Twitter account competing in a series of arcade video game challenges. The pair even made a very public appearance at CEO 2016, where they played Street Fighter V onstage in front of a sizeable audience.These kinds of interactions help reinforce that wrestlers are real people -- and that many of them are wrestling fans who got into the business because of how much they loved wrestling at a young age. The Elite takes things one step further, in fact -- they have their own show on YouTube, in which they talk about their travels all over Japan, North America and all over the globe.That social media presence and interaction isnt entirely altruistic, though, most of them tend to be genuine. Each of these interactions that fans can see could have easily happened behind closed doors or in a text message, but in 2016, being a big deal and getting over with fans on Twitter can have a real world impact on your popularity and standing within the wrestling business. Its another tool in the belt for guys who are going out there every night to try to earn for their families -- and fans get to be the beneficiaries.In 2016, pro wrestling isnt just great for the fans, said Cole. Years ago, the only place you were ever able to make a living in pro wrestling was the WWE, or if you got really lucky, maybe if you moved to Japan and you were able to get a top spot in New Japan. Now that so many companies are doing well and succeeding, and now that there are more places to work, it gives guys a choice to be creative, to pursue different things and to look for new challenges. As long as there are places where guys can work and make a good living outside of WWE, it creates this cool back-and-forth competition.Like normal people, those wrestlers have friends throughout their line of work, and a wide variety of social media accounts. Even as some of those friends move on and start working for other companies, the act of tweeting out congratulations for particularly momentous occasions or sending out photos of reunions has become fairly commonplace.We live in a modern era in which long-time friends, who just so happen to be the top champions in two of the most prominent wrestling organizations in the world, can take a photo of each of them holding their title belts next to each other and cause a virtual meltdown in the world of social media.Its just another in a long list of ways that independent wrestlers are able to help themselves in ways that didnt even exist a decade ago. While being unconventional or taking an unconventional approach to the business of wrestling used to get a lot of performers pigeonholed or limited their appeal, the world is much different in 2016.We live in a world where independent wrestlers can have a lot of fun, do things their own way and still advance their careers at the same time.For example, for a guy like Cody Rhodes to leave the WWE to come to the independents and try to make a name for himself, it shows you how much wrestling has changed this year, said Cole. You now have a better chance of making it in a company like the WWE if you have indy credibility. I never, ever thought I would say that. ' ' '
