Sidney Crosby collided with a Pittsburgh Penguins teammate last Friday at practice and thought nothing of it.When the two-time MVP woke up Saturday though, the headache he experienced felt familiar. So did the concussion diagnosis that will keep the Penguins captain out indefinitely.Its well-worn territory to be sure for a player who missed the better parts of two seasons after sustaining a concussion in January 2011.That doesnt mean, however, that what hes dealing with now will linger as long -- or as frustratingly -- as those interminable two years when he wondered when hed get right.If anything, what he endured then will only help him going forward.I think going through it, you understand the process and I think that progress is a good thing, he said.Crosby felt good enough Tuesday to spend close to an hour on the ice skating alongside injured teammates Bryan Rust and Matt Murray, but declined to set any sort of timeline on when he may return.I just go day by day, Crosby said. You dont look too far ahead.He joined the Penguins on the ice for Fridays practice while wearing a yellow non-contact jersey.Call it the residue from the aftermath of the hit by Washingtons David Steckel during the 2011 Winter Classic that forced him to hit pause on his career.Both Crosby and the team declined to get into specifics about what exactly happened, though he insisted the injury is a result of getting tangled with a teammate at practice and not something that occurred during the recently completed World Cup of Hockey. Crosby was the tournaments MVP after leading Team Canada to gold.Im not making this up, Crosby said. It was pretty clear I think.For now, Crosby will remain in the concussion protocol -- a series of procedures that continues to evolve as more research comes to light.Weve learned so much in a short period of time, Crosby said. I think theres a really good structure in place on how to get back and that kind of thing. I feel confident and comfortable with everything.The Penguins open the season Thursday night at home against Washington and will raise the banner for the franchises fourth Stanley Cup title during a pregame ceremony. Crosby almost certainly will be out of the lineup, but harbors no concerns about his latest battle with a head injury that will affect him during the long term.[Concussions] happen, he said. They happen in a lot of different sports and guys have multiple concussions and theyre fine. Just have to treat them the right way and make sure they handle it right and youre honest. Like I said Im comfortable and confident that things will be OK. Nike NFL Jerseys Outlet .

Woodson said during a radio interview Thursday that the Knicks Carmelo Anthony doesnt get the same calls as other superstars.Anderson Silva’s evolution into an all-time great wouldnt have happened without a spell in London, according to the man who brought him to these shores over a decade ago. The Brazilian legend is considered among the elite handful of cage competitors after a majestic run as UFC middleweight champion which resulted in some of the sports most iconic knockouts - made possible after he perfected his craft in Dave ODonnells Cage Rage.Silva (33-6-1) will next fight Englands premier UFC representative Michael Bisping (27-7) in London, returning to the city where his flamboyant but vicious style was developed. We brought Anderson over to lose to Lee Murray but, when he didnt, we realised we had a star in the making. Promoter Dave ODonnell ODonnell signed the up-and-coming Silva to his domestic promotion in 2004 as cannon fodder for English fighters but soon accepted the brilliant Brazilian import would outgrow them.We brought Anderson over to lose [a Cage Rage title fight] to Lee Murray but, when he didnt, we realised we had a star in the making, ODonnell exclusively told Sky Sports. He had knockout after knockout in London, then the UFC rightly snapped him up. Silva was beginning to demonstrate the ferocity that made him the UFCs best ever middleweight Anderson Silva: The stats Age: 40 Birthplace: Curitiba, Brazil Height/Reach: 62 / 77 Nickname: The Spider We signed Anderson the same way we brought all the biggest names over - we waited for the right moment, when theyd had a loss and needed rebuilding. With Murray being a rising star over here, it was something Anderson could get his teeth into.Twelve years ago, the 29-year-old prospect Silva boasted a 13-2 record earned in his homeland and Japan. He had been beaten just a year prior to touching down for the first of four fights at Wembleys Conference Centre that have since become the stuff of legend.But Silva annihilated Cage Rage favourite Murray to shock the home crowd, crippling his legs en route to a unanimous decision. It quickly dawned on promoter ODonnell that the quiet boy from the streets of Curitiba had something. Silva won all four fights in England but upcoming opponent Michael Bisping is also undefeated in his home country When he first came over to fight Murray he was booed, but by the end of the fight he was respected and nobody could wait for him to come back, said ODonnell. Lee wanted to fight the worlds best and we thought Anderson would be a test.A lot of Brazilians back in those days would just go to the ground but Anderson was different, always coming up with new tricks, he was the Bruce Lee of MMA.Yet his development wasnt yet completed - after torching the best that London had to offer, Silva surprisingly lost a fight in Japan by submission. Back to the drawing board. I brought [Silva] to a gym to do a seminar a few days before he knocked out Tony Fryklund with a reverse elbow.dddddddddddd He practiced that move in the seminar and we all thought whats he doing? Promoter Dave ODonnell Sensing his opportunity, ODonnell tempted Silva back to The Big Smoke, having lined up stern American opposition. Jorge Rivera and Curtis Stout were promptly knocked out but, when Silva travelled to Hawaii for his next fight, he lost via disqualification. His silky skills were obvious but he just needed one spark to truly ignite his rise, and it would come with a never-repeated stoppage win on his next return to London.I brought him to a gym to do a seminar a few days before he knocked out Tony Fryklund with a reverse elbow, ODonnell recalled. He practiced that move in the seminar and we all thought whats he doing? That was on the Thursday, he went and did it on Saturday. He never played safe.The technique in question had never been seen, and since 2006 hasnt been repeated in top-level MMA. Silva, from a southpaw stance, connected with an elbow strike thrown like a boxers lead-hand uppercut. His opponent crashed downwards, the crowd were eerily silent as they digested what had happened, and one of the UFCs future icons was born. Silva went on to bamboozle Forrest Griffin in the UFC Anderson Silva: The records 33-6-1 (20 KOs, 6 submissions) Most UFC title defenses (10) Most finishes in the UFC (14) Longest win streak in UFC history (16) Longest UFC title reign (2457 days) Highest significant strike accuracy in UFC (67.8%) He was quickly poached by the riches of the Las Vegas-based organisation, as ODonnell expected. Such a magnificent knockout signalled a step forwards in the growth of MMA that, a decade ago, was dominated by rough-and-tumble brawlers. Two months later, Silva needed 49 seconds to win his Vegas debut.He twice stopped middleweight champion Rich Franklin and built the best winning streak in UFC history spanning 16 fights, 10 of which were for the world title. His limited grasp of English, increasingly unique offence and respectful demeanour was a throwback to The Karate Kid movie. Silva last fought in January 2015 but his win over Nick Diaz was overturned into a no contest From the beginning he was humble, ODonnell noted. He was an animal in the cage but a nice bloke outside it. Some guys just have an aura - when he walked into a room you said theres something special about him.Two defeats to Chris Weidman, including a gruesome broken leg, plus a failed drugs test have dampened the past three years but Silva is aiming for revitalisation in his spiritual home of London once again.
