FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Tom Brady completed pass after pass, 11 in a row to start the game. So much for his injured left knee. Two days after spraining it, the New England star was perfect before throwing an incompletion on his last pass in the Patriots 25-21 exhibition victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Friday night. He also threw his first touchdown to new top wide receiver Danny Amendola on his first series and left after the second. "Toms like a coach out there on the field," Amendola said. "He knows every intricacy of the offence. He helps young guys out a lot. Hes a leader." Brady, who bypassed waiting reporters after Thursdays joint walkthrough with the Buccaneers (0-2), did it again after his outstanding performance. He left the locker room quickly without holding his usual postgame news conference and the team offered no explanation. An MRI on his left knee had been negative and he participated fully in the walkthrough. Patriots coach Bill Belichick shrugged off an opportunity to make his first comments about his reaction to the play Wednesday when left tackle Nate Solder fell back into Brady, knocking him to the ground, after being shoved by defensive end Adrian Clayborn. "Were so far past that," he said. "Were way beyond that." Bradys nearly perfect performance for the Patriots (2-0) proved that. "He sure looked good, but we messed up some things," Tampa Bay coach Greg Schiano said. "Even if you play great against Tom Brady hell complete (passes)." Bucs quarterback Josh Freeman also started and worked two possessions but had a much rougher time against the team theyll face in the third game of the regular season. He was sacked three times and completed only two of three passes before rookie Mike Glennon took over. "We just have to find a way to overcome adversity," Freeman said. "We battled to the end." Amendola, signed as a free agent from St. Louis, caught six passes for 71 yards, including a 26-yard touchdown on the games first series. Brady completed all eight of his passes for 72 yards, even adding a 2-point conversion pass to rookie tight end Zach Sudfeld after Amendolas touchdown. Then Brady connected on his first three throws on his next possession, reaching 107 yards passing for the night, before missing Amendola on third-and-7. Brady has played four series in two games, starting with a 31-22 win over Philadelphia, and completed 18 of 20 passes for 172 yards. Ryan Mallett replaced him and threw a 22-yard touchdown to Sudfeld, a free agent having an outstanding training camp. With Rob Gronkowski sidelined after off-season back surgery and Aaron Hernandez jailed on a murder charge, Sudfeld has an inside track on a roster spot. "Hes worked hard to learn our offence, a little different than what they did at Nevada," Belichick said. "Hes got to learn how to be an on-the-line tight end, but hes making progress. Hes got a long way to go." Mallett completed 12 of 20 passes for 137 yards against the club that allowed the most yards passing in the NFL last season then gave way to Tim Tebow on the Patriots first series of the third quarter. Tebow continued to struggle, completing one of seven passes for minus-1 yard and an interception. "It was definitely something I shouldnt have thrown," he said. "You want to do your best and play to the best of your ability and have it all go right, and sometimes it doesnt. You just have to keep going." Tebow also ran six times for 30 yards. Freeman was under pressure from the start eight days after playing well in a 44-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He was sacked by Brandon Spikes on Tampa Bays first offensive play, then by Chandler Jones and Spikes on the second series. Eight plays for Freeman, three of them sacks. The Patriots waited until Glennons third play to sack him when Rob Ninkovich tackled him for a 6-yard loss. But on the Bucs next series, the third-round draft pick from North Carolina State threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Ogletree as they cut the lead to 11-7. Glennon completed 12 of 22 passes for 121 yards and threw another touchdown pass, 1-yard to David Douglas. New Englands defence made another big play against Glennon when rookie Logan Ryan returned an interception 53 yards for a touchdown with 8:47 left in the third quarter. With New England up 25-18, Tebows overthrown pass was intercepted by Mason Robinson. The Bucs scored on Derek Dimkes second field goal, a 23-yarder. NOTES: Among the Bucs recovering from injuries who didnt play were cornerback Darrelle Revis, placekicker Lawrence Tynes and offensive guard Carl Nicks. ... Patriots defensive backs Devin McCourty and Alfonzo Dennard also sat out as they come back from injuries. ... Gostkowski put the Patriots ahead 11-0 with a 39-yard field goal but missed a 50-yarder after two penalties pushed the Patriots back 15 yards. cheap nba jerseys china .

Klitschkos management company says the bout will be the Ukrainian fighters 25th world championship fight. The 1.83-meter (6-foot) Leapai defeated the previously unbeaten Denis Boytsov in November to become the WBOs mandatory challenger. At five-years-old Chyloe Kurdas knew she would never get to play professional football; she knew that door was closed to her. But she has worked, instead, to make sure that door will never be closed for any other five-year-old girl, and her dedicated efforts will reap their rewards next year with the opening bounce of the new national womens AFL competition.Joining AFL Victoria 10 years ago, Kurdas was given the role of growing grassroots participation in womens football as well as developing a high-performance program and a high-performance structure. Add her 15 years as a player and coach, eight years on a club board and four years on the womens league board, and she has spent most of her life on her journey to the creation of a professional womens AFL league.I always wanted to make sure that that door didnt remain closed for those little five-year-old girls at some point in the future, and I think Ive been able to facilitate that by making it all really normal for girls and women to participate in [Aussie rules football] as players, Kurdas told ESPN.Kurdas involvement in the growth of grassroots participation has seen he develop football academies throughout Victoria, and there are now more than 300 womens teams in community competitions. Eight academies have been developed to involve more than 500 girls across Victoria.The national competition wouldnt be possible if we didnt have a critical mass of players at a grassroots level in Victoria, which is where 50 percent of the talent is going to need to come from, Kurdas said.My role has been growing this grassroots participation base and then alongside that Ive been growing a high-performance program and high-performance structure to introduce female footballers to high performance footy, build a structure thats going to be sustainable and continue to grow the participation of girls, and develop girls abilities once theyre in the academy.Kurdas believes the new competition is vital for Australian women in sport, saying the AFL is one of the most critical sporting organisations in the country and I think one of the most critical change agents in the country.I think its tremendous for women within our game, but I think when the AFL put their hand up and said well do this, I think a lot of other sports had to go geez, we have to be really competitive as well, so theyve all really upped the ante and look at what basketball, netball, cricket and now rugby sevens are doing.I like to think that our willingness to put our hand up and say were going to do this has actually helped drive to open more doors for girls in other sports.It was never going to be easy to build a womens competition in a male-dominated sport, and Kurdas faced many obstacles along the way.Certainly early days [there were doubts], she told ESPN. At my football club at Melbourne University, we had a few issues trying to access training facilities and playing grounds, accessing change rooms that were appropriate for women and girls. Absolutely back then we had to fight tooth and nail to even borrow a football to train with. Back then I never thought a national competition, when I first started playing football 20 years ago, would happen this quickly.Having said that, what Ive always found as soon as people see us playing, see the passion and how much we love it and engage, people fall in love with it. It was just a matter of time before we got the right people to fall in love with it. So we knew once we found the right people to fall in love with it, then it would happen.Certainly, along the way I definitely thought it would take longer than it has. At times it felt like people were dragging their heels and I always tthought why are you taking so long to do this?.ddddddddddddBut its certainly the right time now and we all get to celebrate wonderful athletes and also we get to acknowledge the work of a bunch of key women around the country who have been driving this through for a very, very long time.Kurdas says she isnt jealous of the coming opportunities for young women, accepting that her role was to give them a chance she never had.I think when your potential or when a dream of yours is not achievable, when you realise that something youre brilliant at and something you could do great things with, when you realise that doors closed to you, theres a pain that occurs, a residual pain that lingers.People have asked me, am I jealous? And Im not, I really accept my time and place in history, and I feel really wonderful that that little five-year-old girl went through the heartbreak of realising that wasnt going to be a dream she could achieve.I feel, for me, watching those women going out there and playing, theres a bit of healing going on, and that little five-year-old girl is somewhat satisfied and somewhat pleased that her pain at missing out has somehow facilitated other girls not having that pain. That in itself is somewhat comforting for that little five-year-old girl and also for me where Im at right now; Im really proud of my contribution to the game and in my role in helping this wonderful experience.I dont need to play because so many of those girls have come through my program where Ive been involved in their journey in some shape or form; whether its been keeping them in the game, helping them to fix their kicking, or putting a really great coach in front of them to help them get better. The bit of my work thats reflected in what they do on the field.Your playing career is finite, but when you invest in the future of others thats when your legacy is infinite and I feel very proud and very comfortable with my contribution over all.Kurdas believes the national competition is just the next step in her job, saying there is plenty more to come from women in football.Putting 200 and then eventually 400 or 600 of the most talented and promising female athletes in the country, across all sports, putting them into those AFL clubs is the next step.Kurdas believes the AFL clubs will be surprised at the ability of the young women in so many different facets of life, and they have so much more than their playing abilities to offer.Theyll see that when you invest in their understanding of the game these women dont only want to play it; they want to lead it, coach it, facilitate it and lead the organisation and the industry, and not just only in female football. We have some terrific women and we have amazing leaders and future leaders who could really play a strong role in male football and other parts of life, in business and government and so on.I think what this does is not only open doors for women to play the game, but it also provides an opportunity for women to showcase what else theyre great at. Therefore these AFL clubs and the AFL industry as a whole will be able to value them for far more than just their playing abilities, but to also move them into leadership roles or management roles or coaching roles; and theyll absolutely be able to provide support in mens football, and theres no doubt that AFL clubs will discover brilliant coaching minds in our female rank.I absolutely have a responsibility ensuring that those doors are open for women and girls in the future, in whatever facet of the game and in life.
