[b]Discont Nike Air Max Shoes Cheap[/b] . -- The bye week is usually met with eagerness by NFL teams, that rare in-season opportunity to let the body heal and rest and give the mind a brief break from the game-planning and pressure to win.The Minnesota Vikings might as well have passed on theirs this year. They sure didnt put it to good use.After taking the leagues only perfect record into the week off, looking every bit the Super Bowl contender theyve been gearing up to be, the Vikings have been dismantled in consecutive defeats by Philadelphia and Chicago on the road.Both the Eagles and Bears used heavy pressure on quarterback Sam Bradford and clogged rushing lanes when the Vikings handed off the ball, stymieing an offense that was far from dominant in the first five games but confident, crisp and efficient enough to complement the dominant defense.The Eagles have emerged among the NFCs early-season elite, so that one wasnt such a stunner. The Bears, though, took one victory into the game on Monday night and racked up 403 total yards, the most allowed by the Vikings this year. That included 158 yards rushing.You just cant explain the way we havent played well these last two weeks, linebacker Chad Greenway said.As unexpected and, for a playoff-caliber team, inexcusable as this more-lopsided-than-the-score-indicated 20-10 loss was, the context and timing of the contest were not exactly in Minnesotas favor. As bad as the Bears had played before this, they had 10 days to prepare for a division foe. They also benefited from a fresh Jay Cutler, all but on his way out as the franchise quarterback with nothing to lose and a mind to prove his worth on a prime-time stage.Cutler is 9-5 in 14 career starts against the Vikings, his most victories against any team, including a sparkling 7-1 at Soldier Field. Coach Mike Zimmer offered scant insight about his teams performance in a terse postgame news conference, keeping his comments to a mere three minutes, but he credited Cutler for his play.We didnt make any plays. They made them all, Zimmer said.Last season, the Vikings ended a couple of ignominious losing streaks, but theyre still 2-14 on the road against Chicago since 2000 and 1-8 in their last nine Monday night games regardless of site. The coaches and players have changed, of course, but fans dont forget the Vikings are 10-21 in night games over the last decade.Success for NFL teams is as much about minimizing flaws as it is about seizing opportunities presented by the opponents weaknesses, and the Vikings have done an awful job of this for two straight weeks.The offensive line is squarely in the spotlight right now, with struggles at every position, particularly tackles T.J. Clemmings and Jake Long. The Vikings have allowed 11 sacks over the last two games, and Bradford has thusly been largely out of sync.We havent proven it yet. So I dont know if hopefuls the right word, right this second, Zimmer said when asked if he was optimistic about a rebound by the offensive line. Weve got to get it fixed, though.Bradford wasnt about to blame the blockers. He overthrew Stefon Diggs, a pass that wouldve been a 50-yard touchdown late in the first quarter after his best wide receiver badly beat Bears cornerback Tracy Porter on the route.Regardless of whats going on up front, I have to figure out a way to move the football down the field, Bradford said.The Vikings host another division foe, Detroit, this weekend.We just have to figure the way we did it, what the formula was those first five weeks, and do it, Bradford said.---AP NFL website:

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- With the Cleveland Cavaliers set to raise the first championship banner in franchise history Tuesday, there also appears to be a final burying of the hatchet between principal owner Dan Gilbert and LeBron James.Gilbert, appearing Tuesday on the Really Big Show with Tony Rizzo and JeRod Cherry on ESPN 850 WKNR in Cleveland, said he and James have come a long way in the six years since James decided to bolt for Miami and Gilbert responded with a scathing letter on the teams website.I think everybody learns every day in the decisions they make and the things they do, Gilbert said. It was just a whole different feeling from Day 1 [when James came back in 2014]. Keep in mind that we just had one bad night in five years that we were here with LeBron -- remember the first two [years James played in Cleveland], Gordon Gund ran and owned the team.But we never had a bad day until the way it ended. And as bad as it was, it was one day, it was one night and everybody is a grown man and obviously we focused on the job here. And sometimes things happen for a reason, right? You just never know it at the time.Gilbert added that he and James would meet in the coming weeks to discuss the direction of the franchise as the Cavs attempt to defend their title.We go deep and talk about stuff and figure out where we need to go as a partnership, Gilbert said of his meetings with James, which often also include James representative, Rich Paul, as well as Cavs minority owners Jeff Cohen and Nate Forbes. Its really a partnership when you think about it.James said the partnership extends to off-court projects as well.We both have two common goals in mind, and thats to continue to build this city, continue to put things up, create jobs and have a winning franchise, James said after shootaround Tuesday before the Cavs season opener against the New York Knicks. And for me as a player, make me impact not only in the community but on this team. And hes doing the same.Gilbert revealed the Cavs had a company-wide meeting Monday, and the agenda was based around making sure everyone was focused on a back-to-back championship rather than let complacency kick in after the team won the first title in Cleveland pro sports in 52 years.Theres only one direction you can go when youre on top, so you might as well stay there, right? Gilbert said. So we have to repeat. Thhats the only way to get out of it.

I think everybody, after that banner goes up, will be back to business and focus on the job at hand.After paying $54 million in luxury taxes last season on top of a payroll that was already north of $100 million, Gilbert said his ownership is committed to spending big money to keep the Cavs in contention.Not even a thought, Gilbert said. Lets picture this: A little cash in the bank or a championship ring -- what would you take? Not even close. I think it was my grandfather who told me that anybody that dies with money in the bank is a failure. Where are you going to take it? So you might as well invest it in the right things and try to positively impact the world as much as you can. So thats what we believe.The Cavs current roster will cost ownership about $130 million with an escalating repeater tax that could add another $100 million-plus to the total bill.Even with the costly roster construct, Gilbert and his ownership group have committed to offering more than 1,000 championship rings to full- and part-time team employees who work for the Cavs and their facilities at Quicken Loans Arena and Cleveland Clinic Courts. The rings figure to cost more than $1 million all told.It wasnt even a discussion, Gilbert said of the expenditure. It was really probably the fastest decision we ever made because every single person in this franchise works their tails off and -- in some way, shape or form -- they affect the outcome. I mean, its hard to really measure or quantify, but when that crowd is energized and passionate, that takes a lot to get that in there for 41 games and the playoffs. So everybody is playing their part in some way, shape or form and it eventually gets its way onto the court and we certainly saw that last year and I think everybody deserves it.As excited as I am to see the players get their rings, Im just as excited to see the guy selling hot dogs or the maintenance crew getting theirs. Its something that, you know, words dont really describe that feeling.Just as its hard to describe how Gilbert and James relationship has repaired itself to this point.We had that whole thing planned out, Gilbert joked about his contentious past with James.
