to Phil Tufnell on an Ashes tour in th Antworten

TAMPA, Fla. -- Derek Carr kept throwing touchdowns and the officials kept throwing flags as both set records as the Oakland Raiders defeated Tampa Bay 30-24 in overtime on Sunday.Carr finished with a franchise-record 513 yards passing -- completing 40 of 59 passes without an interception. The Raiders (6-2) also overcame a NFL-record 23 penalties for 200 yards to remain unbeaten on the road.Carr threw to Seth Roberts for the winning score with under two minutes to go in overtime. He had tied the game a scoring throw to Mychal Rivera with 1:38 remaining in regulation.It was an awesome performance. Ive seen some good ones. I think well continue to see good ones from him, Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said.Carr said when he was told he had thrown for more yards in a game than any other quarterback in team history, he nearly cried.Not in a weird way, just like thats stuff you dream of as a kid, the third-year pro said. Im just blessed.Carr broke a 52-year-old record set by Cotton Davidson.Offensive tackle and ex-Buc Donald Penn and Amari Cooper also caught TD passes, with Cooper winding up with 12 receptions for 173 yards and Michael Crabtree adding eight catches for 108 yards.Oakland amassed 626 yards total offense and dominated time of possession by more than 15 minutes against an overworked Tampa Bay defense that was on the field 85 plays.Jameis Winston threw for 180 yards and two touchdowns for the Bucs (3-4), who took a 24-17 lead on a 1-yard run by Jacquizz Rodgers and 2-point conversion.Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski missed a 50-yard field goal as time expired to send it into overtime.Janikowski misfired again from 52 yards on Oaklands first possession of the extra period. On the winning play, Carr hit Roberts into the middle of the field on fourth-and-4, Tampa Bay defenders lunged and missed the tackle at the 30, and the receiver sped into the end zone.The Raiders, who beat Jacksonville last week and remained in Florida to prepare for the Bucs, are 5-0 on the road for the first time since 1977. Tampa Bay, which had a two-game winning streak stopped, fell to 0-3 at home.They tried to give us the game -- two missed field goals and all those penalties, Tampa Bay tackle Demar Dotson said. We didnt take it.DID YA SEE THAT?: Raiders OL Donald Penn was with the Bucs for eight years before being released after the 2013 season. His 1-yard TD made it 10-10 early in the third quarter. The 315-pound tackle crossed his arms and struck a pose for the announced crowd of 61,058I had to let them know they made a big mistake in cutting me, Penn said. II had to let them know Im back.FILLING IN: With RB Doug Martin still sidelined by a hamstring injury, Rodgers made his third start for Tampa Bay and rushed for 69 yards on 19 carries against the leagues 32nd-ranked defense. Rodgers topped 100 yards each of the previous two games , keying victories over Carolina and San Francisco. Martin, the leagues second-leading rusher a year ago, has been out since getting hurt at Arizona Week Two.FLAGS, FLAGS AND MORE FLAGS: The Raiders hurt themselves repeatedly with penalties, including a delay of game on first and goal from the Tampa Bay and an offensive pass interference call against WR Michael Crabtree that nullified a touchdown. They wound up settling for Sebastian Janikowskis 31-yard field goal that trimmed a second-quarter deficit to 10-3. Oakland was penalized four times, twice on third-and-1 for lining up with 12 men on defense, during the fourth-quarter drive Winston used to put Tampa Bay up 24-17.I cant believe it, but it just shows the resilience of this team. We just have to work to clean that up, Cooper said. We cant be a championship team like that, so we have to clean that up. Definitely.INJURIES: The Raiders lost CB Sean Smith with a shoulder injury on the second play of the game. The Bucs said Rodgers left the game late with a foot injury.UP NEXT: The Raiders return home from their extended stay in Florida to face the Denver Broncos. The Bucs have a short week, continuing a three-game homestand against the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Balenciaga Outlet Italia .C. -- When North Carolina freshman Ryan Switzer reported to training camp in August he was a little miffed to learn he was third on the depth chart at punt returner. Air Jordan 1 Scontate . On Saturday night, the normally free throw-challenged centre did just that. Howard scored 18 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, including 13 of 19 free throws in a 2 1/2-minute stretch, and the Houston Rockets beat the Denver Nuggets 122-111. http://www.scontateoutletairmax.it/yeezy-boost-380-economiche.html .

Nike Air Max Prezzo Basso . The 15th-ranked Canadian men lost the opening two games of their European tour: 19-15 to No. 17 Georgia and 21-20 to No. Yeezy Boost 350 v2 Outlet Italia . The formidable trio of Canadian receivers -- individually known as Chris Getzlaf, Rob Bagg and Andy Fantuz -- will share the field at Mosaic Stadium one more time on Sunday. Older readers may remember the days when cricketers had problems, or worse. These days they have issues. He has issues with the short ball, we say - meaning that the cricketer in question has taken a blow too many and no longer plays the short ball with confidence.In other words, hes scared. Yeller. He cant take it. He dont like it up im. Thats the essential truth, but we prefer not to put it that way. Its not even a problem. Its a set of issues. So when Stuart Broad elects to play the bouncer by crowding the square-leg umpire, its because he has issues.He has admitted as much. Some thought the frankness did him credit but no favours. On the other hand, you dont have to be Sherlock Holmes, or for that matter the Analyst, to work out that a batsman imitating the nuptial dance of the crowned crane is not entirely at ease.So yes, he has issues. Kevin Pietersen had issues with left-arm spin. Good left-arm spin had him perplexed; but bad left-arm spin was far worse. It twisted his poor mind like a pretzel. Here was naked self-doubt in a man whose self-belief was his stock-in-trade. Here was proof that behind all the swagger was a human being like us. There was also a hint that he might even be mildly agreeable.Issues. So much less of a problem than problems. Its a term that has come into use across society. Your bodys not falling apart, you have medical issues. A lot of quite tough words, some of them uncompromising, insulting and demeaning, have been scratched out of common use. A person in a wheelchair has mobility issues.Sport has picked this up with alacrity. Thats partly because we have a natural tendency to let sportspeople off lightly - to embrace the euphemism. Thats especially true for specialist journos, who must keep going back to cricketers and other athletes if they want to remain employed. If you wrote that Broad was a coward or that Pietersen was in a state of funk, youd never get another quote. So you say that they have issues, and the game can continue.Its not only expedient. Its the nature of the times. We scorn hard truths and prefer to conceal them with softer words. So we seldom say that Lance Armstrong, Hansie Cronje and Tiger Woods were stinking, lying hypocrites who did exactly as they pleased while setting themselves up as men oof conspicuous virtue.dddddddddddd They had issues…Part of me revolts against such muddling and soft-soaping. Part of me thinks that we should call a spade a spade and a hypocrite a hypocrite. The crystal-clear, downright unambiguous condemnation of such people seems to be a good thing rather than a bad one.But theres another side to this. In 2013, Jonathan Trott abandoned a tour of Australia because he couldnt take it anymore. It was a crack-up, a breakdown, a personal collapse - call it whatever you like. His body was fine but his mind could no longer face the challenges of Test cricket in the course of a disastrous tour that left its scars on everyone who took part in it. But Trott was not vilified. He was treated with understanding and compassion. He wasnt a coward; he had issues. And we all have issues. Most people thought, well, there but for the grace of God go I. The world did not see this as a moral failure. Just issues.Compare and contrast this with the treatment given to Phil Tufnell on an Ashes tour in the 90s. He too had a crack-up. He went on a crying jag and eventually found himself in a psychiatric hospital. He discharged himself and went back to the team hotel, feeling easier after what was, perhaps, a cathartic release. The management took him to task and fined him £1000.So yes, better to suffer from issues and get the benefit of a little compassion than to be forced to suffer for the crime of suffering. Marcus Trescothick was a brave pioneering spirit in this when his own anxieties made touring impossible for him. He spoke frankly of his breakdown at the airport, and again, he was treated with understanding. It was something of an education for everyone touched by the story. Graeme Fowler has written movingly of his own psychological troubles in his book Absolutely Foxed.Im suspicious of euphemism and all forms of soft soap, but Im in favour of compassion and understanding. Like most of us, I expect. So if the idea of issues allows a few people to be given a gentler judgement than they deserve, it has also allowed others to be given the understanding they need - to the benefit of everyone else as well.
