Five NFL players on Tuesday traveled to Capitol Hill to discuss police brutality and race issues with members of Congress, including a possible meeting with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan.The meetings were conceived by Detroit Lions wide receiver Anquan Boldin, who is known for his off-the-field community work. The group will include four other players -- Boldins teammate, safety Glover Quin; Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins; and Cleveland Browns quarterback Josh McCown and wide receiver Andrew Hawkins.Boldin told ESPNs Jim Trotter that he asked those players because they are all guys who are well-respected in the league and who have the same goal as myself.The players are scheduled to meet with Reps. Patrick Murphy, D-Florida; Keith Ellison, D-Minnesota; and Daniel Webster, R-Florida, as well as members of the Congressional Black Caucus.The meetings were organized by Andrew Blejwas, an associate director of marketing for The Nature Conservancy who also advises players like Boldin on how they can have more influence off the field. The NFL Players Association also worked to arrange the meetings with Ryan, R-Wisconsin, and with some members of the White House staff.Boldin told Trotter theres a huge mistrust between the police and the African-American community.I want to help close that gap, he said.McCown, the only white player in the group, said hes going to listen.I dont believe we, as white people, can understand what African-Americans go through on a daily basis, because its different, McCown said. For me, first and foremost, I want to be able to acknowledge that, and say that our stories are different and our histories are different, but lets just try to be a part of making it better moving forward.Colton Sissons Predators Jersey . William Carrier opened the scoring for Cape Breton (6-4-2), but Andrew Ryan tied the game and Brent Andrews put the Mooseheads (8-6-0) in front for good with a short-handed goal at 13:49 of the second period. Yannick Weber Predators Jersey . John Tavares, Thomas Vanek and Kyle Okposo were also being counted on to slow down sizzling Rangers forward Rick Nash. That plan didnt go so well early. http://www.authenticpredatorspro.com/Austin-watson-predators-jersey/ .J. -- Seven games into a disappointing season, New York Giants defensive catalyst Jason Pierre-Paul is getting the feeling hes back. Craig Smith Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Austin Watson Jersey . The Swede became the first golfer to win the PGA Tours FedEx Cup and European Tours Race to Dubai in the same season. "It is still taking a little time to sink in what Ive achieved this week as was the case when I won the FedEx Cup but then it just kept getting better and better as the days went on and I am sure this will be the same," he said.EUGENE, Ore. -- Derek Drouin set a Canadian record in mens high jump Saturday at the Prefontaine Classic. The Olympian from Corunna, Ont., jumped 2.36 metres to win bronze behind Essa Barshim of Qatar, who set a world-leading height at 2.40 metres. American Erik Kynard (2.36) was second. The previous Canadian mark was set by Mark Boswell of Brampton, Ont., who jumped 2.35 metres three times in his career, most recently in 2002. Drouin won bronze at the 2012 London Games. Meanwhile, Eugene Sheila Reid of Newmarket, Ont., set a personal best in the womens 1,500-metres with a time of four minutes 02.96 seconds, almost a full five seconds faster than her personal best going into the race. Reid finished sixth in the race. Cam Levins of Black Creek, B.C., finished 13th in the mens 5,000-metres in a personal best time of 13:15.19, just over two seconds off the Canadian record of 13:13.96 set in 1998 by Jeff Schiebler. Justin Gatlin won the 100 metres at the Diamond League meet in a wind-aided time of 9.88 seconds, besting fellow Americans Michael Rodgers and Ryan Bailey. The 31-year old, who won the bronze medal at the London Games, joked afterward: "I just age like wine." Then 17-year-old Mary Cain broke the high school record in the 800 in 1:59.51, placing fifth in an elite field that included Olympic bronze medallist Yekaterina Poistogova and Janeth Jepkosgei, third in last years world championships. Cain, from Bronxville High School in New York, topped the record of 2:02.04 set by Amy Weissenbach of Harvard-Westlake high in 2011. She also is the first American junior athlete to run the 800 under 2 minutes, breaking Kim Gallaghers mark junior of 2:00.07 in 1982. "Down that backstretch I think I was the most determined person out there," said Cain, who battled fellow American Alysia Montano to the finish. "I said to myself, Im going to break that two-minute barrier." Francine Niyonsaba of Burundi won the 800 in 1:56.72, a meet record and a world best this season. But the sellout crowd of 12,816 erupted into cheers when Cains record was announced. One fan shouted to the high school junior: "Come to Oregon!" "Im not really used to this. Im still a star-struck little kid out there, so its really cool," Cain said. Gatlin won the Olympic gold medal at the Athens Games but his promising career was derailed in 2006 by a positive drug test that led to a four-year ban. He has since worked hard to repair his past and was the defending champion at the Prefontaine, winning last year in 9.dddddddddddd9 in a tuneup for the U.S. Olympic trials. "I felt like I had a pretty good start, and I brought it home pretty good," Gatlin said. "Last year, my 20 metres before the finished line wasnt as strong as I wanted it to be. Thats what weve been working on." Gatlin took longer than any other athlete on his victory lap, stopping frequently to sign autographs and pose for pictures. In the womens 400, Olympic gold medallist Sanya-Richards Ross finished last in her first race since having surgery on her right big toe last September. The event featured all three medallists from the London Games, Richards-Ross, Christine Ohuruogu and DeeDee Trotter. "It was rough today," Richards-Ross said. "I realized I wasnt going to really push it as well as I wanted to." Armantle Montsho of Botswana won the 400 in 50.01 seconds. In other events, Hellen Obiri of Kenya won the womens 1,500 in 3:58.58, and Ethiopian Tirunesh Dibaba took the 5,000 in 14:42.01. Jamaican Shelly-Ann Fraser-Price won the womens 100 in 10.71. American Allyson Felix fell to seventh. "I still have some work do," said Felix, who says shes working to get ready for the U.S. championships in Des Moines later this month. Beijing Olympic gold medallist LaShawn Merritt won the mens 400 in 44:32, and Jamaican Nickel Ashmeade ran the 200 in 20:14 to best Walter Dix in 20:16. "This is just my second 400 in nine months. But Im a competitor and I know every time I line up against that field Im going to have to run, so I wanted to put a race together," Merritt said. In the 5,000, Kenyan Edwin Cheruiyot Soi won in 13:04.75, just in front of Olympic gold medallist Mo Farah of Britain in 13:05.88. Farah, who won gold medals in both the 5,000 and 10,000 at the London Games, was supposed to run in the 10,000 at Hayward Field on Friday night but withdrew from the race a day earlier because of a stomach bug he picked up two weeks ago at a meet in California. He decided instead to run the 5,000 instead with training partner and friend Galen Rupp. Rupp, who won the silver in the 10,000 in London, came in sixth. Ethiopian Mohammed Aman won the mens 800 in 1:44.42. American Nick Symmonds, a local favourite who trains with the Oregon Track Club, finished third. Kenyan David Rushida, world record holder in the 800, had to withdraw from the Pre because of a right knee injury. Rushida had an MRI on Thursday in Eugene, revealing bruising of the bone and ligaments. ' ' '
