DAVIE, Fla. -- When Mike Wallaces two frustration-filled seasons with the Miami Dolphins came to an end, he was on the bench rather than in the playoffs.The Dolphins then discarded him for a fifth-round draft pick, an acknowledgement the $60 million, five-year deal they gave Wallace had failed to pay off.Even so, he said he has no regrets about his time in Miami in 2013-14.They gave me a lot of money in two years, Wallace said Wednesday. Its all love on my end. My life is a lot better because of those guys. So I have no grudges against them whatsoever.Wallace is now with the Baltimore Ravens and will face the Dolphins on Sunday for the first time since he left under strained circumstances. Hes anticipating the game so eagerly he tweeted a countdown to kickoff on Sunday night: 7 days!A lot of people probably took it the wrong way, Wallace said with a chuckle. But I have nothing against those guys. It just didnt work out.The Dolphins under coach Joe Philbin went 8-8 in each of their two seasons with Wallace. One of the NFLs fastest players, he fell short of 1,000 yards receiving both years, and he never got in sync with Ryan Tannehill on deep passes.I definitely have fault on my end, he said. There was a lot of other fault, too.Frustration boiled over in the final game. Circumstances remain fuzzy as to whether Wallace refused to re-enter the game or was told by the coaching staff to stay on the sideline.It was a frustrating incident where you wanted to do well and wanted the team to do well, and it just wasnt going that way, he said. But I would never do anything to quit on my team.After leaving Miami, Wallace had one disappointing season with the Minnesota Vikings, who then released him.At 30 he has revived his career in Baltimore, ranking among the top 15 receivers in yards (792) and yards per catch (15.5).He has done great, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. It has been great to have him here. I love his attitude. He works. Hes a competitor. He has a great personality. He wants to be a great player and has had some huge plays for us, and weve needed them.Wallace has four touchdowns, one on a 95-yard catch. Is he as fast as ever?Youll see, he said. I think Im forever young. I could be 45 years old and still run past people. I dont think thats ever going to be a problem, the way I feel today. Maybe tomorrow that might change. As of today, I feel Ill never slow down.Wallace said he remains friends with some Dolphins, including Jarvis Landry, Reshad Jones and Mike Pouncey. He said he had good relationships with Philbin and Tannehill.My whole time was good until the last game, he said. I was always good with Ryan. I like Ryan. I think hes a great guy, a hard worker, and I see him getting better.Tannehill is thriving under first-year coach Adam Gase, and the Dolphins (7-4) bring a six-game winning streak to Baltimore (6-5).Does Miamis success make Wallace wish he was still there?`No, he said. Im happy for those guys. No ill feelings. But I feel like Ive been taken on this path for a reason.And he loves Baltimore.The way the organization is run is more my speed here, he said.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL .---Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve-Wine.

Aside from the trilogy main event title fight, there are a number of intriguing matchups in the heavyweight, welterweight and lightweight divisions.WELLINGTON, New Zealand -- Veteran flyhalf Frederic Michalak has been included among four changes to the French rugby team for Saturdays second test against New Zealand at Christchurch. Michalak is the only backline personnel change announced Thursday by coach Philippe Saint-Andre. He was chosen to play his 66th test in place of Camille Lopez, who made his debut in last weekends 23-13 loss in the first test at Eden Park. Saint-Andre has made one backline positional change, moving Maxime Medard to fullback and switching Yohann Huget to the left wing. There are three changes to the French forward pack for the match. The 33-year-old Nicolas Mas will play at tighthead prop ahead of Luc Dulcalcon, lock Christophe Samson replaces Sebastien Vahaamahina, and South African-born Bernard le Roux will start on the blindside flank in place of Fulgence Ouedraogo. Castres flyhalf Remi Tales has been selected on the reserves bench and will make his test debut if he takes the field, while centre Mathieu Basteraud has returned from injury to claim a place on the bench. Saint-Andre has resisted breaking up the effective midfield partnership of Florian Fritz and Wesley Fofana from the first test at Auckland. The coach has been able to work into his second test lineup several of the Toulon and Castres players who missed the first test after arriving late in New Zealand because of the French Top 14 final. Michalak, Samson, Basteraud and Tales were among players involved in that match. Basteraud has been battling a thigh injury and on Wednesday considered himself only a 50-50 chance to be fit for the match but has made a speedy recovery. Saint-Andre said Michalak, who was among the architects of Frances 2007 World Cup quarterfinal win over New Zealand, was an obvious inclusion. "Hes a talented player, he has a lot of flair," Saint-Andre said. "Hes also a world-class kicker. But we know it will be harder because New Zealand will be more organized and will be much more clinical. "We jusst need to improve what didnt work last week.dddddddddddd. We were not clinical and I hope Michalak can bring us this, and our set-piece must improve. We are very pleased Nicolas Mas, our first-choice tighthead, is back." Saint-Andre expected personnel changes to harden his forward pack for the match. France outplayed New Zealand at breakdowns in the first test at Eden Park, and the French coach expected the injection of experience and form to give his lineup an additional edge. "Mas is the first choice of France for the last 10 years," he said. "Hes one of the best tightheads in the world and is very good in the scrum. He will bring a lot of experience in the tight five because we were disappointed last week in our set piece. "Samson has just won the French league with Castres. Hes a leader in the lineout and has a very big work rate, while le Roux is young but hes very strong in the contact area." Saint-Andre said it was imperative for France to concentrate for a full 80 minutes if it is to level the three-test series ahead of the third and final test in New Plymouth. "You cant switch off for two minutes," he said. "We let ourselves down for five minutes at the end of the first half (in the first test) when they scored two tries. "Five minutes we switch off and we lost the game. We know the intensity and tempo will be much higher this week, so we need to play the perfect game but just improve on what we can improve on. "Thats being clinical, our set-piece and managing our times in our 30-meter area." ------ France: Maxime Medard, Adrien Plante, Florian Fritz, Wesley Fofana, Yoann Huget, Frederic Michalak, Maxime Machenaud; Louis Picamoles, Bernard le Roux, Thierry Dusautior (captain), Yoann Maestri, Christophe Samson, Nicolas Mas, Dimitri Szarzewski, Thomas Domingo.
