FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Fitz is in.Again.Ryan Fitzpatrick will be the New York Jets starting quarterback Sunday against the New England Patriots, with coach Todd Bowles making the announcement after practice Monday.Hes healthy, hes been our starter, Bowles said. I dont see anything that could change that right now.Fitzpatrick sat out the Jets previous game against Los Angeles on Nov. 13 with a sprained left knee. Bryce Petty made his first regular-season NFL start and went 19 of 32 for 163 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the 9-6 loss.Bowles said last week that he would consider which quarterback would give the Jets (3-7) the best chance of winning against the Patriots (8-2).Hes been playing all year, Bowles said of Fitzpatrick. He knows more of the system. He can do more things. Hes been the starter. I dont give away jobs. Youve got to take a job. Bryce has gotten better and hell be ready to play if called upon.Still, Bowles said he was leaning all along toward choosing Fitzpatrick, as long as the quarterback showed he was healthy enough to practice and play this week. He just needed Fitzpatrick to practice Monday to reaffirm his decision.Im excited to get out there and play versus New England and just try to rally our guys, Fitzpatrick said. This is something I really enjoy doing and really enjoy doing it with these guys in the locker room, so were looking forward to it.Fitzpatrick is tied with Jacksonvilles Blake Bortles for the NFL lead with 13 interceptions, and his 67.6 quarterback rating is the worst among quarterbacks with 150 or more passing attempts. He was benched earlier in the season in favor of Geno Smith. But Fitzpatrick regained his job when Smith was lost for the season with a torn knee ligament.When Fitzpatrick hurt his knee at Miami on Nov. 6, many fans and media figured it was the perfect opportunity for the Jets to play Petty the rest of the way to see what they have in last years fourth-round draft pick instead of a veteran who likely wont be re-signed as a free agent in the offseason.And, if Petty faltered, the Jets could theoretically give second-rounder Christian Hackenberg a look for the final game or two. That, however, is a philosophy Bowles doesnt subscribe to.I actually know quite a bit about both of them, so its not paramount for them to play right now, Bowles said.And, right now, Fitz gives us the best option. You dont have to play a person just to see what they have. Pettys time will come. So, well be patient with that.With the players back at the facility for the first time since last Tuesday following a bye-week break, Fitzpatrick was able to test out his knee after having two full weeks to heal.Just getting treatments over the bye was nice, he said, and then today at practice just going out there and making sure that it felt as good as I thought it would, which it did.Fitzpatrick will play with a brace on the knee, something that gives him extra peace of mind. He also insisted it will not affect his play or mobility.Many fans hailed the Jets for re-signing Fitzpatrick to a one-year, $12 million deal on the eve of training camp.He was coming off a franchise-record 31 touchdown passes, and New York finished a win out of the playoffs at 10-6. But his brutal start and the piling losses had many of those same fans ready to turn the page on the veteran and look ahead to the younger quarterbacks.I think we play for each other, we play for the name on our jerseys, we play for a lot of different things, Fitzpatrick said. Its just one of those things. Its been a tough year, but we all still enjoy this game and playing with each other, so were going to go out there and give it everything we have.For Petty, its back to being a backup -- and waiting for another opportunity.Nothings changed for me, Petty said. Thats Coachs decision, so Im going to respect that. He knows whats best for the team.When asked if he was disappointed in the Jets going back to Fitzpatrick, Petty sidestepped the question.My feelings are irrelevant, he said. They really are. Im not going to focus on me because that takes away from the team. Again, nothings changed and Ill continue to prepare like Im the starter and get better every day.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholesale Orioles Jerseys Free Shipping .Y. - Nelson Mandela will be honoured by the New York Yankees with a plaque in Monument Park.

Cheap Orioles Jerseys For Sale . -- The proud fathers huddled near the Dallas Stars dressing room, smiling, laughing and telling stories while wearing replica green sweaters of their sons team.Coach Kieran Crowley and the Canadian rugby team are about to embark on a key summer, one that will sorely test their resources and ultimately determine whether Canada returns to the Rugby World Cup. The former All Black has more than 40 players at his disposal, but some are injured or still playing for their club sides in Europe. Given the sports nature in Canada, others are juggling work commitments. Canada -- ranked 13th in the world -- faces seven test matches over the next 13 weeks, an itinerary that will take the team to Edmonton, Ottawa, Kingston and Toronto before jetting off to Nagoya, Japan, and then heading to Charleston, S.C., and finally Toronto again. There are three-day and four-day turnarounds, a brutal schedule for a punishing sport like rugby. The journey starts and ends with the U.S. Eagles, but in two different capacities. Saturdays game in Edmonton against the 17th-ranked Eagles marks the start of the newly expanded Pacific Nations Cup, part of the International Rugby Boards bid to boost competition for so-called Tier 2 nations. Canada continues play in the five-team tournament June 5 in Ottawa against No. 16 Fiji and June 8 in Kingston, Ont. against No. 9 Tonga. The competition wraps with a June 19 visit to No. 14 Japan. "Weve been fighting for these sorts of tournaments," said Crowley. "Anything we can get like this is great. Even if the schedules difficult, it allows us to develop depth. "Its not all about the results, these sort of tournaments. You obviously go out and you try there and win but with no professional competition in Canada we dont get the chance to expose our boys to this sort of level ... We want as much of this sort of rugby as we can get." The world rankings of the Pacific Island nations can be misleading, given they often play Tier 1 nations, says Crowley. "All their players play in the European (club) competitions," he noted. "So they all have a little bit more structure around their training regime and diet etc. Were improving, I think, but so is everyone else and theyre going to be a massive challenge for us." The game in Nagoya is sandwiched between a June 15 match in Toronto against No. 8 Ireland and an August home-and-away World Cup qualifying series with the U.S. The two-game total-points qualifier opens Aug. 17 in Charleston and concludes Aug. 24 at Torontos BMO Field. The visiting Irish side will be missing nine stars who will be touring Australia with the British and Irish Lions, as well as several injured players, but will still be a formidable opponent. The Canadian coach is having to manage his resources, with a few serious injuries cutting into his roster. Conor Trainor is recovering from a broken leg while star back DTH van der Merwe had an ankle operation and Jeff Hassler was hurt on the last stop of the world sevens circuit. The Canadian coach hopes to be reunited with London Irish forward Jebb Sinclair and Bedford Blues fullback James Pritchard for the game in Kingston. Lock forward Jamie Cudmore was expected to play Saturrday for Clermont-Auvergne in the Top 14 semifinals in France but has been ruled out with a hand fracture.dddddddddddd London Welsh back Phil Mackenzie will miss the first few weeks of the summer action due to injury. Canadas impressive showing on the world sevens circuit is both a plus and a minus for Crowley, who has to manage the sevens players time after a long run in the increasingly physical series. Sevens players Sean Duke (recovering from injury) and Nathan Hirayama (work) will miss the Edmonton game. "Were being flexible with these guys," said Crowley. "They do have lives outside rugby." Complicating matters are the IRB Junior World Rugby Trophy, which runs May 28 to June 9 in Chile, and the Rugby World Cup Sevens, slated for June 28-30 in Moscow. Crowley will lose talent to both. Canada isnt the only Pacific Nations Cup team with some scheduling concerns. Fiji hosts Japan on June 1 and then must travel 14 time zones to face Canada on June 5 in Ottawa. After hosting Ireland at Torontos BMO Field on June 15, Canada travels 13 times zones to Nagoya for a June 19 date with Japan. "Its the same for everyone," said Crowley. "Most teams are having one turnaround like that, with a bit of travel involved. "It is what it is. You just have to manage it." Should Canada failed to beat the U.S. in the August World Cup qualifying series, it will have two more chances to move on, either in a playoff with a South American team or via a last-chance repechage. --- Canada lineup vs. U.S. (with club side and hometown) Hubert Buydens, Saskatoon Wild Oats; Ray Barkwill, Oakville Crusaders, Niagara Falls, Ont.; Jason Marshall, Atlantique Stade Rochelais (France), Vancouver; Brett Beukeboom, Plymouth Albion (England), Lindsay, Ont.; Tyler Hotson, London Scottish (England), Vancouver; Tyler Ardron, Brantford Harlequins, Lakefield, Ont,; John Moonlight, James Bay AA, Pickering, Ont.; Aaron Carpenter (capt.), Cornish Pirates (England), Brantford, Ont.; Sean White, James Bay AA, Victoria; Harry Jones, Capilano RFC, Vancouver; Taylor Paris, Glasgow Warriors (Scotland), Barrie, Ont.; Pat Parfrey, Swilers RFC, St. Johns, N.L.; Nick Blevins, Calgary Hornets, Calgary; Ciaran Hearn, Castaway Wanderers, Conception Bay, N.L.; Connor Braid, Doncaster Knights (England), Victoria Reserves Ryan Hamilton, Capilano RFC, Vancouver; Andrew Tiedemann, FC Auch Gers (France), St. Albert, Alta.; Doug Wooldridge, Lindsay RFC, Lindsay, Ont.; Jon Phelan, Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, Montreal; Cameron Pierce, Section Paloise (France), Coldstream, B.C.; Nanyak Dala, Castaway Wanderers, Saskatoon; Phil Mack, UVIC Vikes, Victoria; Liam Underwood, Queens University, Toronto.
