CHICAGO -- The Milwaukee Bucks stood together in a show of unity during the national anthem before Mondays preseason opener against the Chicago Bulls. The Bucks stood in a line, with each man putting his left arm around the man next to him. Some players and coaches kept their right hands on their hearts as the anthem played.Bucks head coach Jason Kidd made it clear before the game that his team was not protesting, in the wake of recent events centered around opposition to police brutality and shootings across the country. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick started the most recent trend last month, when he decided to sit during the national anthem. He has been kneeling during the anthem the past few weeks.Its not a protest, Kidd said. Were not protesting. Were showing unity. Theres not a protest.Kidd said that after some of the protests across the country, he wanted his team to make a decision together.We discussed it, he said. And I think there was a lot of discussion throughout the week ... guys have come up with a solution of what they want to do for the national anthem. So Im very proud of them being able to come together and make a decision and do it as a team. That just shows a lot of growth for our young players.Kidd, speaking before the game, seemed pleased with his teams outcome.I think theyve covered every base, and I think its just showing awareness, Kidd said. I think its for [the team] to discuss and talk about because I think its really nice of them and special that they came together as a unit and be unified. It just shows our growth for a young team.No Bulls players or staff members did anything out of their routine during the anthem. Bulls head coach Fred Hoiberg noted that he would respect whatever decision his team made.I respect our players in whatever decision they make, Hoiberg said before the game. Im not sure what will happen with our group, but I do certainly respect their right to express themselves. As far as what were going to do, were going to go out there. As far as my beliefs, I believe in standing respectfully and honoring the national anthem, but I certainly do respect our players and the right to express themselves.Kidd believes the protests have gotten so much attention due in part to the fact that the NBA and other professional sports leagues have more media attention than ever before.There wasnt enough of you guys, Kidd said. There was only two of you [reporters]. Now theres millions. So thats the biggest change. Our media platform is a lot bigger than Dr. Js and Larry Birds and Magics. They only had to talk to one [reporter]. But the way the media is and the platform the NBA has, I think its great that there [are] voices that come from the young men and older guys too. To show that they do care about more than just basketball. Cheap Gareth Bale Jersey . Bradwell was scheduled to become a free agent Tuesday.

DAVIE, Fla. -- Steel Tannehill doesnt care whether the Miami Dolphins win or lose, which makes his dad glad.The Dolphins are 1-4 and fans have been booing their quarterback, but at the end of the day, Ryan Tannehill can count on a warm welcome from his 2+-month-old son.Hes like a better version of a dog, Tannehill said with a laugh Wednesday. Everyone knows there have been some tough times here. Its always nice to be able to go home, even if its late, and get a smile before bed. It caps the day in a nice way.While 2016 is far from a total loss for Tannehill, thanks to the birth of his first child, things have gone downhill lately. He was expected to have a breakout year under a new coach, quarterback guru Adam Gase, but instead the offense has been awful and the Dolphins appear destined to miss the playoffs for the eighth season in a row.Tannehill has been the QB since his rookie year in 2012, and with his record at 30-39, fans are losing patience. They chanted for backup Matt Moore during Sundays dismal loss to Tennessee .Moore predicted Tannehill will weather the situation.Our guy is strong inside and out, Moore said. We understand how it is, and how it needs to be.While teammates remain supportive of Tannehill, the locker room mood is strained. If not for a missed field goal by Cleveland on the final play of regulation in Week 3, the Dolphins would be the NFLs only winless team, and theyre a touchdown underdog at home Sunday against Pittsburgh.Its tough, Tannehill said. Were nowhere near where we thought we were going to be. Thats the reality. We have one real option -- to keep working and find a way to win games.Gase is willing to shake things up. On Tuesday he released offensive linemen Billy Turner and Dallas Thomas after they played poorly as emergency starters against the Titans.But Gase has publiccly said Tannehill is his quarterback for the rest of the season, and has been encouraging in private.ddddddddddddHe says to stay the course, keep doing everything I can to play the way Im supposed to play, and good things will happen, Tannehill said.If the season goes south, this might be Tannehills final season in Miami, because his salary is scheduled to nearly double to $18 million in 2017.Thats so far away right now, Gase said. I know everybody wants to rush to judgment. I mean, were five games in.Its difficult to envision a turnaround, however, unless the Dolphins solve their perennial problem with blocking. The running game has been nonexistent, and Tannehill endured six sacks by the Titans to increase his career total to 201, most in the NFL since 2012.He was hit several other times but didnt rank the pounding as the worst he has taken in a game.Ive had a few rough ones, he said. Hopefully we can get the ball out and not have as many hits.Critics say Tannehill holds the ball too long and is slow to react when the pocket starts to crumble.If youre getting hit from behind, its tough to move at that point, he said. But I need to be able to escape the pocket some.So far this season, his only refuge is at home.Game notes Back at practice after missing the Titans game were RB Arian Foster (hamstring and groin), G Laremy Tunsil (ankle), T Branden Albert (illness) and LB Jelani Jenkins (groin). TE Jordan Cameron (concussion), S Xavien Howard (knee) and S Reshad Jones (groin) were out.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve-Wine.
