NEW YORK -- NFL owners likely will consider expanding the playoffs by two teams, beginning in 2015, when they hold their spring meetings in Orlando next week, but a vote on the subject is uncertain. Carmelo Anthony Nuggets Jersey . A groundswell for raising the number of playoff qualifiers to seven in each conference figures to get plenty of support from the 32 owners. Most notably, Arizonas Bill Bidwill, who saw his Cardinals go 10-6 and not get in, while Green Bay (8-7-1) qualified by winning the NFC North. The current format of four division winners and two wild-card teams has existed since 2002, when Houston joined the league as an expansion team, bringing the membership to 32. "There will be a report on the potential of expanded playoffs," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Wednesday. "We dont know if there will be any vote at this meeting." Also on the agenda will be alterations to extra points, changing who oversees video replay reviews, and further clamping down on the use of racial slurs by players during games. A change in the playoff structure would be needed if 14 teams qualify, with the top seed in each conference still getting a first-round bye. The next six teams would play in what is now the wild-card round, with the second seed facing No. 7, the third seed taking on No. 6 and the fourth and fifth seeds playing each other. But the NFLs influential competition committee is not presenting a proposal to the owners. One reason the league is looking at more playoff teams is a stalemate in talks with the players union about expanding the regular season from 16 games. Another is the added revenue stream two more post-season games would provide, with those matches up for bidding among the current network partners -- Fox, NBC, ESPN and CBS, which just grabbed an eight-week Thursday night package -- and potential new broadcasters such as Turner Sports. Scheduling of the extra wild-card games also would be dicey, although Monday night would seem logical for one of them. Of course, adding two more playoff teams enhances the chances for teams with .500 or losing records to get in. Commissioner Roger Goodell has suggested a change to the one-point kick on extra points might be needed because they have become so automatic. New England has proposed moving the line of scrimmage to the 25 for a one-point try, but leaving it at the 2-yard line for a 2-point conversion. "There are a lot of different views in respect to the extra point," said Falcons President Rich McKay, co-chairman of the competition committee. "There were 1,267 tried and 1,262 made (in 2013), and so there is that thought with the extra point maybe we need to add little more skill, and one of the ways to do it might be the way New England proposed." But its a long shot that anything will be done next week, except perhaps experimenting with longer kicks for one week of the preseason. The Patriots also proposed extending the height of the goal posts 5 feet to make it easier to determine whether a kick is good. New England also suggested allowing coaches challenges on everything except scoring plays, which are automatically reviewed. Replay as an officiating tool always is in the news, and owners are expected to discuss having the NFLs director of officiating, Dean Blandino and his staff at the league offices be involved in some review decisions. The league saw several inexplicable replay decisions made by referees last season, although McKay and Rams coach Jeff Fisher, the committees other co-chairman, praised the overall quality of officiating. As for the use of racial slurs and verbal abuse, there already are rules on the books to deal with the issue. But an emphasis on stronger discipline will be discussed by the owners, and McKay noted that taunting fouls went up significantly from 2012 to 2013. "We are going beyond the field of play, we are going to the workplace," Fisher said of trying to eliminate such language. "This is going to be a very significant point of emphasis."

When the next inning rolled around Wednesday, though, Nationals manager Matt Williams sent Strasburg to the mound to face the top of the Dodgers order in what would become a 3-2 victory for Washington, the first time this season the No. Jarred Vanderbilt Jersey .

And though his comeback night didnt quite go to script, Bryant couldnt help reflecting on the work necessary to get back on that court -- and all the months of steady labour ahead to reclaim his game. Bryant had nine points and eight rebounds in his season debut, but Amir Johnson scored a career-high 32 points in the trade-depleted Toronto Raptors 106-94 victory over Los Angeles on Sunday night.Baseballs class of 2014 has been announced for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and for the second year, two of the greatest players ever to compete in the game - Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds - have been denied entry to Cooperstown. Do you think its time for both men to be elected to the Hall? In their first years of eligibility, Bonds and Clemens fell well short of the 75 per cent of votes needed to be enshrined. Clemens got 37.6 per cent of the ballots cast, while Bonds trailed slightly behind with 36.2 per cent. Both dipped slightly this year - Clemens to 35.4 per cent and Bonds to 34.7 per cent. While their on-field credentials are never in doubt, how they allegedly arrived at them over the course of their careers has been subject to much debate and speculation. Bonds is the all-time home run king with 762 over the course of his storied 22-year career. He also holds the single season home run record of 73 which he set back in 2001. He has also been named National League MVP seven times - far and away the most of any player in the history of the game and was a runner-up for the honour twice. Bonds also led the National League in walks 12 times, including his final season in 2007 (at the age of 42) and is the all-time leader in that category with 2,558. Not to mention 14 All-Star teams and eight Golld Gloves. Denver Nuggets Jerseys. Clemens, meanwhile, won American League MVP honours in 1986, is a seven-time Cy Young award winner and has earned more individual awards than any other pitcher in baseball history. He finished his 24-year career with an impressive 354-184 record, a 3.12 ERA and 4,672 strikeouts (the third most all-time). Clemens also led the league in wins four times, was a seven-time ERA leader and five-time strikeout champion. However, its impossible to ignore the shadow that the alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs has cast on both of their careers. Both men have denied using PEDs and have both been acquitted in federal court of lying to a grand jury and congressional committee, respectively. Bonds, however, was later convicted of an obstruction charge while rumours and speculation continue to run rampant around both former stars. While Bonds and Clemens are the two highest-profile names, other Hall-eligible players who have been painted with similar brushes are also having trouble garnering votes. Rafael Palmeiro, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Mike Piazza and Jeff Bagwell are also still on the outside. So the question remains - should Bonds, Clemens or any other player allegedly connected to PED use be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame? As always, Its Your! Call. ' ' '
