LATROBE, Pa. -- As if Antonio Brown wasnt fast enough, hes feeling like a racecar driver after the Vontaze Burfict hit during last seasons playoffs.Brown told ESPNs First Take he plans to be more aggressive after Burficts vicious head shot in the final seconds of the Steelers AFC wild-card win in Cincinnati. Brown missed the divisional round loss to Denver with a concussion.You cant have no fear, Brown said. Its like a NASCAR driver whos been in an accident. You cant get into the car with fearful thoughts. You have to have faith. You just have to go out there and be more aggressive.Brown adds his swag got a little better after the hit from Burfict, who will serve a three-game suspension for several egregious plays during his career. Burficts 15-yard penalty on the play inched the Steelers closer to field- goal range, and they won 18-16 with a 35-yard kick by Chris Boswell.Play this game long enough, youre going to get hit, Brown said. That just comes as part of playing football and being in the game. Obviously that hit actually won us the game. Its called taking one for the team.Brown, who caught 136 passes for 1,834 yards last season, has made it clear he would like a new contract. He has two years remaining on a six-year, $43-million deal signed in 2012.Brown told the media Sunday that an NFL team should take care of a player if he outperforms his contract. Hes not holding out because of his respect for the Rooney family, which owns the team, and his desire to stay in football shape.Its my job to be ready to go when the season stats, Brown said. Its up to my agent to deal with the other things. I know things will fall into place.Bogdan Bogdanovic Jersey .B. - Sebastien Auger made 44 saves as the Saint John Sea Dogs edged the visiting Acadie-Bathurst Titan 2-1 on Saturday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action.

Buddy Hield Kings Jersey . "Trying to breathe," he said with a grin. Bernier stopped 42 of 43 shots on Monday night, including all 22 in a hectic middle frame, his heroic performance propelling the Leafs toward an undue point in their final game before the Christmas break.It was only six weeks ago, when on day two at Chester-le-Street, Angelo Mathews walked down the pitch, conferred with a team-mate, and, having been given out, decided to review the decision. He had quite clearly hit the ball, so this was the shambolic head-on collision to cap a veritable pile-up of facepalm reviews. Does he understand the rules? people wondered on social media. What the hell is going on?In Galle, the same captain had his top-scoring batsman overturn a review on day one. He got his best bowler Sri Lankas second Test hat-trick by reviewing an lbw shout on day two. Then on the third day, Mathews set his offspinner on track for a first career ten-wicket haul with a bat-pad review, and for good measure, got his young left-arm wristspinner a scalp off a ball that spun at the batsman as if it had been shot out of a cannon, from point.In six weeks, the same man who appeared not to know how caught behinds worked, had become a DRS-savant capable of mentally simulating the ball-tracking for every delivery. In addition, there was the inspired promotion of Kusal Perera to No. 3. There was the fruitful decision to have David Warner face a lot of offspin. There was a breakthrough almost every bowling change, and the close fielders appealed themselves hoarse.So adept was Mathews at turning everything he touched into a wicket, you almost expected the official who handed him the winners cheque to look back at splayed stumps and ruefully trudge off.How on earth has the transformation happened? What the hell is going on?****It was only 13 days ago, ahead of the Pallekele Test, that Mathews said he [didnt] know what to call himself, when asked if he considered himself an unlucky captain. Weve had so many injuries in the past few months, he said. At the international level, I cant go and say we cant play because we dont have any bowlers. We need to know how to produce them.He would have desperately liked Dhammika Prasad and Dushmantha Chameera to have been fit through the England tour. He would have loved for Nuwan Pradeep and Suranga Lakmal to be available through this one.Yet, in Galle, all but four wickets were the work of two bowlers. Dilruwan Perera and Rangana Herath might conceivably have won this match on their own. Having been required for only two overs on the first evvening, seamer Vishwa Fernando would have had a more productive debut Test if he had set up a stall at fine leg and sold ice creams to fans for the rest of the Test.dddddddddddd Lakshan Sandakan had spent much of the Pallekele match bamboozling Australian batsmen after coming in for Lakmal, but he produced more grinning high-fives than deliveries in this game.In a way, Pradeep or Prasad or Chameera or Lakmal would have been counterproductive here, because they would have all had longer spells with the new ball, and that would have delayed Perera and Heraths introduction. Fewer of those sliders - which Australian batsmen appear to believe are the work of paranormal spiritual forces - would have been bowled.It seems the more Sri Lankas bowlers are injured, the more effective Sri Lankas attack becomes.Which leads you to wonder how on earth is this all happening. What the hell is going on?****It was only two weeks ago that SLCs public profile reached a nadir, for the boards public maligning of Muttiah Muralitharan, and its stipulation that the Test match mace be only privately handed over.During the Galle Test, though, the opening of the countrys largest indoor nets complex - in Pallekele - was announced by the board. This came, of course, with much trumpet blowing. The release claimed that ICC chief executive David Richardson was so impressed by complex, that following a mere inspection of these nets, he immediately took the field and struck a double-century against an attack consisting of Warne, Murali, Hadlee and Marshall (Im paraphrasing here). According to the statement, the project will also be completed at less than half the initial budgeted cost.So forget that after two matches, Sri Lanka have a young batsman in Kusal Mendis whom coaches are already speaking of building a top order around. Forget the turnaround in Mathews fortunes. Forget the historic Under-19 win in England overnight, or the fact that a spin-bowling succession plan for Herath has now emerged.SLC is making common-sense, cost-effective decisions that will benefit the islands elite teams, and promote crickets growth.What on earth is bloody happening? What the hell is going on? ' ' '
