BUFFALO, N. Cheap Jordan 12 Online .Y. - The Jacobs family is, in fact, involved in helping secure the Bills future in Buffalo, and hasnt ruled out getting involved in buying the team. Jeremy Jacobs Jr., the son of Boston Bruins owner Jeremy Sr., told The Buffalo News on Wednesday that the family has been engaged in discussions involving the franchises future, but said it was too early to say whether it will make an attempt to buy the team. "We are using our resources, our contacts, our relationships to do everything we can to ensure the Bills stay in Buffalo," Jacobs said in a story published on the newspapers website. Jacobs, however, stopped short of saying his family would be involved in a prospective ownership group. "Its still early in the process, and its impossible to say either way," he said. Jacobs comments were the first made by any family member expressing interest in the team. Bills owner Ralph Wilson died last month. And his comments do not contradict a statement his father issued last week. In a released statement, Jacobs Sr. said he has no intention of selling the Bruins in order to purchase the Bills, a move that would be required because NFL rules do not allow owners to control major sports franchises in separate markets. Jacobs statement failed to address whether any of his three sons would be involved in an ownership group. Several people familiar with the Bills future had previously told The Associated Press that Jacobs and his sons were linked to discussions involving the teams. "He is definitely a player," one person told the AP, speaking on condition of anonymity because Jacobs has not revealed his plans. Members of the Jacobs family have declined interview requests with the AP over the past three weeks. The Jacobs are from Buffalo and own Delaware North food service company, which has its headquarters in the city. Jeremy Jr., Louis and Charlie Jacobs are all listed as principals at Delaware North. Charlie Jacobs is also a principal of the Bruins. In 2010, the NFL allowed Stan Kroenke to take over as the St. Louis Rams majority owner after he agreed to turn over operational and financial control of the NBA Denver Nuggets and NHL Colorado Avalanche to son Josh. Wilsons widow, Mary Wilson, has taken over as the teams controlling owner until the franchise is expected to be placed on the market. That wont begin until Wilsons estate hires an investment banking firm, which will oversee the sale process. That leaves the teams future in Buffalo uncertain, because a sale opens the possibility of the team relocating. The Bills are essentially locked into playing at Ralph Wilson Stadium through the 2019 season because of the lease they negotiated with the state and Erie County in December 2012. The team would incur a $400 million penalty by even broaching the prospect of moving during the leases term. There is a one-time exception allowing the Bills to break the lease for just under $28.4 million in July 2020. The Jacobs do face one obstacle because of NFL rules barring owners from having links to casinos, racetracks and other gaming interests. Delaware Norths holding include numerous racing and gambling operations across the country. "We have warts," Jeremy Jr. acknowledged, referring to leagues anti-gambling rules. ___ AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Air Jordan 12 .

BRUINS STORM BACK TO TAKE GAME TWO The Boston Bruins rallied from a 3-1 deficit, scoring four unanswered goals, to win Game Two, 5-3 over the Montreal Canadiens. http://www.airjordan12cheap.com/ . -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have released veteran guard Davin Joseph, a mainstay on their offensive line over the past eight seasons.TORONTO - Coach Dwane Casey has emphasized defence from Day 1 of camp, stressing his team needs to be at its defensive best by the time the bright lights of the regular season are switched on.It took until the fourth quarter Friday night, but finally the Toronto Raptors looked like they were listening in a 116-109 pre-season victory over the Boston Celtics.Defence was the difference, said Kyle Lowry, in a fourth quarter that saw Toronto outscore the Celtics 29-16.Those guys, they missed some shots (in the fourth) that they made in the first three quarters but we really locked into our defensive schemes and really, really paid attention to what they were doing and made some good adjustments at halftime, he said.Lowry and DeMar DeRozan scored 18 points apiece to lead the Raptors (2-1), while Patrick Patterson added 17 points in his first action of the pre-season.Amir Johnson and Greivis Vasquez finished with 13 apiece, while Jonas Valanciunas had 11 points to go with nine rebounds.Casey hadnt seen a decent defensive effort this pre-season and Friday looked to be more of the same in a game that saw long stretches of swapping bucket for bucket for the first three quarters.Sometimes youve got to win any kind of way, and tonight we were able to outshoot them, Casey said. Again, I will say, we cant live a long way playing that way. Youre not going to outshoot everybody, there are going to be nights that balls not going to fall, but I did like our focus, I thought our energy was there, our rebounding was there, and thats all you can ask.Avery Bradley topped the Celtics (2-1) with 22 points, while Marcus Thornton had 19.Kelly Olynyk, who was born in Toronto and moved to Kamloops, B.C., when he was 12, had eight points for the Celtics. His Canadian teammates Joel Anthony of Montreal and rookie Dwight Powell of Toronto didnt play.The Raptors shot 50 per cent from the field, but allowed Boston to shoot 49 per cent, and they gave up 37 points to their visitors in the third quarter in front of 16,729 fans at Air Canada Centre.The Raptors trailed 93-87 going into the fourth quarter, but chipped away at the deficit. James Johnson cut the difference to two points — and provided one of the highlights of the night — when he soared in for a put-back on a Patterson miss with just over eight minutes to play.The Raptors kept their foot on the gas from that point on and when Lowry grabbed his own rebound and dribbled in for a nice floater, it put Toronto up 106-98 with about six minutes left. Air Jordan 12 Wholesale. The Raptors dominated to the final whistle.Lowry looked in regular-season form down the stretch, and said its all about trying to get my rhythm.Its pre-season but were still trying to put our emphasis on games and trying to get our defensive identity and our intensity going and create good habits, he said.Casey was pleased with the performance of Patterson, who sat the first two games with a sore hand and sore knee.Huge, Casey said of his game. I thought he made one big bucket off the dribble, off the bounce that was huge. He gave us 20 minutes and 17 points, I thought that was big, but just his defensive energy with seven rebounds was huge. He brings a defensive presence and energy to the court that you cant really put a premium on.Boston coach Brad Stevens also lamented his teams lack of defensive effort.We gave up 60 in the first half, Stevens said. We went on a spurt in the third quarter where we played OK defensively but to their credit they spread us out and made plays. Were going to have to get a lot better.Torontos starters — Lowry, DeRozan, Terrence Ross, Johnson, and Valanciunas — played the majority of the first quarter, and took a 31-21 lead into the second, DeRozan leading the way with nine points.Bradley poured in 17 points in the second as the Raptors lead nearly vanished.
