NEW YORK -- The NFL sent a memo to the 32 teams to clarify what is valid identification after a man with a new District of Columbia drivers license was initially denied purchasing alcohol at a stadium. David Pastrnak Jersey .A vendor at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, did not recognize the license and turned away Aninda Maitra, thinking the ID was from the country of Colombia. The vendor asked for Maitras passport.Maitra, 36, told the Washington Post he eventually got his beer, but Eleanor Holmes Norton, a delegate to the House of Representatives from the District, wrote to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell about the incident.Last week, the NFL responded to Norton, saying it has sent photos of the old and new DC drivers licenses to the clubs and directed them to share this information with their concession management teams.As you know, our stadium vendors are charged with the difficult task of combatting fraudulent forms of identification, the NFL said in its letter, signed by Jocelyn Moore, senior vice president of public policy and government affairs.They undergo specific training aimed at preventing the sale of alcohol to minors. However, a patron of legal age, with a valid photo identification, should not be denied on that basis.A spokeswoman for MetLife Stadium referred The Associated Press to the NFLs letter.Maitra told the Post he is pleased with the NFLs response.Its a good step that they are taking to get the new ID out there and get people aware that Washington and District of Columbia are the same thing, he said with a chuckle, and that, yes, its on American soil.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL href="http://www.bruinsauthority.com/" target="_blank">Boston Bruins Gear .

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Fresh from one major upset, Mississippi State is gunning for an even bigger target: No. 1 Alabama.The Bulldogs win over No. 10 Texas A&M makes the Crimson Tides break Saturday from a four-game parade of ranked opponents look more treacherous, even if the oddsmakers dont think so.The Bulldogs (4-5, 2/3 Southeastern Conference) remain four-touchdown underdogs despite that performance against the Aggies, who had been fourth in the College Football Playoff rankings. Alabama (9-0, 6-0, No. 1 CFP) hasnt appeared nearly so vulnerable but must recover from the physical and mental toll of a 10-0 slugfest against No. 19 LSU.I think the biggest thing is we cant have any kind of relief syndrome after a big, emotional game, Alabama coach Nick Saban said.The Tide has won the last eight meetings with the team from a mere 90 minutes away. Survive this game, and the Tide can win the SEC West outright with an Iron Bowl victory over No. 8 Auburn.Saban said Mississippi State is playing the best it has all season. The Bulldogs challenge is to see if they can keep it up after that 35-28 win over the Aggies.For us, we have a very young team and I want to see how they react, said coach Dan Mullen, who is 0-7 against the Tide but has produced four wins over Top 10 teams.In some ways, it is not a bad situation to be in. Nobody expects us to win, so we just have to go find a way to win the game without the pressure on us.Alabama cornerback Marlon Humphrey thinks it might be a boon to the Tide, just in case there was any temptation to look past this game. The Bulldogs racked up 574 yards of total offense against the Aggies.I know Mississippi States had a lot of close games that theyve lost, Humphrey said. To beat Texas A&M must mean theyre doing something right. That actually might help our mind-set. Theyrre a pretty good team. Bobby Orr Jersey. Theyve got as many scholarship players as we do. Theyve got good players, too. You just cant take anybody lightly.Mississippi State must win two of its final three games to become bowl eligible, finishing against Arkansas and at Mississippi.---Some other things to know about this game:RUNNING QBS: The game features the SECs top two rushing quarterbacks. Mississippi States Nick Fitzgerald, the co-SEC offensive player of the week, is fifth overall in the SEC with 839 yards and eight touchdowns. He faces the nations top run defense. Hurts has run for 635 yards and 10 touchdowns.MILESTONES: Saban just picked up his 200th win as a college head coach. Now, hes got a chance to equal the record of 40 wins as the No. 1 team currently shared by Ohio States Woody Hayes and Florida States Bobby Bowden. This is also Mullens 100th game as a head coach.STANDOUT RECEIVERS: Neither team has put up huge passing numbers but both have standout wide receivers. Alabamas Calvin Ridley and ArDarius Stewart are both significant threats. Mississippi States Fred Ross leads the SEC with nine receiving touchdowns and his 54 catches ranks second.PASSING OPPORTUNITY? Alabama hasnt produced a 200-yard passing day in its past three games. The Bulldogs, though, rank last in the SEC in pass defense, giving up 21 passing touchdowns and 264 yards per game.PROTECTING FITZGERALD: The Bulldogs have allowed 20 sacks this season despite Fitzgeralds mobility. Alabamas defense leads the nation with 37 sacks, led by Jonathan Allen and Tim Williams, making good pass protection paramount.---More AP college football at http://collegefootball.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-Top25 href="http://www.cheapsoccerjerseysoutletonline.com/">Cheap Soccer Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Hockey Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap Nike MLB Jerseys China Wholesale Baseball Jerseys China Wholesale College Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys Near Me Cheap Jerseys Online Cheap NFL Jerseys AuthenticCheap Nike NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap NCAA Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic MLB Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Throwback Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
