| SAO PAULO, Brazil -- FIFA member countries have thrown out proposals to introduce age and term limits for football officials. Garret Anderson Jersey . The modernizing moves have long been regarded by FIFAs anti-corruption advisers as an essential step to change the scandal-hit governing bodys culture. FIFAs 209 countries voted down separate proposals in principle on Wednesday, at public ballots during their congress. Term limits had seemed more likely to win approval. FIFA President Sepp Blatter, who is 78, had widely campaigned against age limits as a form of discrimination. He is expected to seek a fifth straight term, although a vote in favour Wednesday would not have affected FIFAs presidential election next May. Chuck Finley Jersey . Justine finished first with a score of 22.44 while Chloe was second with 21.66 points. Defending champion Hannah Kearney of the U.S., was third at 21.49. A third Dufour-Lapointe sister, Maxime, failed to make the final group and finished 12th while Audrey Robichaud of Quebec City was 10th. Andrew Bailey Angels Jersey .com) - The top spot in the AFC South will be on the line when Houston native Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts shoot for their fourth straight win when they take on the Texans at NRG Stadium. https://www.cheapangels.com/943j-kean-wong-jersey-angels.html . According to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger, it doesnt appear the offer was warmly received by the team. Blue Jackets director of hockey operations John Davidson and general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said on Wednesday the team has made offers of $6 million for two years, $32 million for six and $46 million over eight years but each one was refused by the restricted free agent centre and agent Kurt Overhardt.ALLEN PARK, Mich. - The Detroit Lions slipped and slid plenty in the snow at Philadelphia. Maybe it was fitting. The slumping Lions (7-6) have lost three of four games, blowing fourth-quarter leads each time, wasting chance after chance to take command of the NFC North. "Well just take this slap in the face and hope it wakes us up," cornerback Chris Houston said after Sundays 34-20 loss to the Eagles. "We have two straight home games and we have to go get them. We cant get down on ourselves. We are still in a good position in our division. I think we like when our backs are against the wall." Detroit hosts the defending champion Baltimore Ravens next Monday night and then the New York Giants before closing the regular season at Minnesota. The Lions will remain in first place in the division headed into the weekend, but they have left little room for error over their next three games, all of which will be played indoors. "Anytime its in your hands like that, you feel good about your opportunities," Lions coach Jim Schwartz said Monday. "I know this, the next three games we are not going to have to worry about eight inches of snow on the ground. We are not going to have to worry about 50 mph winds or anything else, but potentially in the future we still do." That would be the playoffs — if Detroit can figure out how to tilt the turnover ratio back to its favour. Detroit had a total of eight turnovers in losses against Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh, while failing to force one turnover in either game. The Lions then fumbled seven times and lost three to Philadelphia, which turned it over only once in the same conditions. "Id say the first half was probably more difficult than the second," quarterback Mattheww Stafford said. Kaleb Cowart Angels Jersey. "It was a little icier in the second, but its no excuse. We had opportunities to make plays and we didnt make them." The Lions went ahead 20-14 early in the fourth quarter against the Eagles after Jeremy Ross 98-yard kick return — his second score on special teams Sunday — before letting LeSean McCoy score a go-ahead touchdown on a 57-yard run and getting shut down on offence. After the game, some Lions said they were soft on defence. The next day, Schwartz disagreed with that assessment. "We missed a lot of tackles in that game and LeSean McCoy did a good job with the conditions and we didnt," Schwartz said. "I wouldnt put it on anything else. Players can characterize it any way they want, but when you say that word it becomes sort of an inflammatory word." Detroit took leads into the fourth quarter against the Buccaneers and Steelers before being held scoreless in the final quarters of both losses. Schwartz insisted the team is focused on looking ahead to the opportunity of winning the division title — for the first time since 1993 — and cant afford to look back. "You cant really worry about whats happened in the past," Schwartz said. "You have to keep your eyes focused on the future. It starts Monday night with the Ravens." NOTES: Schwartz said rookie CB Darius Slay had knee surgery last Friday and the team didnt put him on injured reserve, holding out hope he can return. ... Schwartz said RB Reggie Bush (calf), rookie DE Ezekiel "Ziggy" Ansah (shoulder) and rookie OT LaAdrian Waddle (elbow) dont have long-term injuries. ___ Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org ___ Follow Larry Lage on Twitter: twitter.com/larrylage ' ' ' |
