A trio of quarterbacks - former Cardinals starter Josh McCown, holdover Andrew Walter, and three-time Pro Bowler Daunte Culpepper - currently grace the Oakland roster at signal-caller. All have had their moments during the preseason to date, but the eventual presence of No. 1 pick JaMarcus Russell, who is embroiled in a holdout, means that only two of the veterans are likely to stick at... Packers attempt to remain perfect August 23 2007 The Green Bay Packers will try to move their preseason record to a perfect 3-0 tonight, when Mike McCarthy's club plays host to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the third tune-up for each squad. Green Bay, which finished the 2006 regular season with four straight wins, has thus far defeated both Pittsburgh (13-9) and Seattle (48-13) in the preseason. In last Saturday's rout of the Seahawks, the Pack took advantage of six Seattle turnovers, including fumbles that were returned for touchdowns by Green Bay linebackers Nick Barnett and Tracy White. On the offensive side of the football, quarterback Brett... Phillies edge Dodgers in close game August 22 2007 Kyle Kendrick pitched into the seventh inning -- and the club will need him with Cole Hamels' status now in doubt -- as the Philadelphia Phillies held on for a 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers at Citizens Bank Park. Kendrick (6-3) won for the first time in four starts, giving up four runs on seven hits with two walks over 6 2/3 innings. Carlos Ruiz doubled twice, scored and drove home a run while Aaron Rowand hit his 21st home run of the season, a two-run shot in the fourth, for the Phillies, who rebounded from a disappointing finish to a 3-3 road trip with a pair of losses in Pittsburgh.... Eagles release LB Trotter August 21 2007 The Philadelphia Eagles parted ways with a key defensive leader on Tuesday, releasing middle linebacker Jeremiah Trotter. "Jeremiah is one of my favorite guys," said Eagles head coach Andy Reid. "There's no question that this is the toughest part of this job. He and I met about this last night and it was very emotional for the both of us. Jeremiah and I have been together for many years and he's played a vital role in helping this team win a lot of football games." A third-round draft choice of the Eagles in 1998, Trotter spent his first four seasons in the City of Brotherly Love, earning... Federer wins 50th career title August 20 2007 Roger Federer breezed past James Blake in straight sets of the Cincinnati Masters final to capture his 50th career ATP singles title. The Swiss superstar had little trouble defeating the American Blake, winning 6-1, 6-4, to become the fifth-youngest player to reach 50 career wins at 26 years and 11 days. Novak Djokovic denied Federer of the milestone last week in the final at the Montreal Masters. It is the fifth title in 2007 for Federer, who won the Australian Open and Wimbledon this year. The top-seeded and world No. 1 Federer also captured his second Cincinnati crown, having won here in 2005 Brees accurate as Saints beat Bengals August 19 2007 Deuce McAllister and Reggie Bush each ran for a touchdown to lead the New Orleans Saints past the Cincinnati Bengals, 27-19, in preseason action from Paul Brown Stadium. McAllister played the entire first half for the Saints and rushed for 15 yards on three carries while Bush ran for 13 yards and caught two passes for 19 yards. Drew Brees was perfect in limited action for New Orleans, completing 6-of-6 passes for 55 yards in just one series. Backup quarterback Jamie Martin went 14-of-19 for 139 yards, getting the bulk of the action after Brees. Carson Palmer played the first quarter for Cincy and threw for 41 yards on 5- of-11 passing. Weaver, Mariners take on White Soxl August 18 2007 Jeff Weaver tries to win his third straight start this evening when the Seattle Mariners continue their three-game series with the Chicago White Sox at Safeco Field. Weaver was brilliant on Sunday against the White Sox, tossing a three-hit shutout to run his record to 4-10 on the year. Weaver also fanned eight without walking a batter, as he lowered his earned run average to a still lofty 5.64. The 30-year-old right-hander has faced the White Sox 16 times (14 starts) in his career and is 6-6 against them with a 3.84 ERA. Chicago will counter with 22-year-old left-hander John Danks Beck lifts Dolphins over Chiefs August 17 2007 John Beck scored on a two-point conversion plunge following Patrick Cobbs' seven-yard touchdown run to give the Dolphins an 11-10 victory over the Chiefs in preseason action. Beck, who completed 5-of-6 passes for 52 yards, engineered a 63-yard scoring drive that culminated with Cobbs' touchdown scamper with 4:36 remaining. Justin Medlock's 43-yard field goal with just over nine minutes to play had given Kansas City a 10-3 lead prior to Miami's scoring drive. Much of the hype preceding the game centered around the Chiefs' quarterback dilemma, and head coach Herman Edwards had hoped Beckham leads L.A. to SuperLiga final August 16 2007 It was a night of firsts for David Beckham and the Los Angeles Galaxy Wednesday. In his first start for his new team, he wore the captain's armband for the first time, scored his first goal and earned his first assist for the Galaxy to lead the team to the final of the first ever SuperLiga. Beckham also earned his first yellow card with the Galaxy. Beckham, who completed his first training session with the Galaxy Tuesday, played the first 63 minutes of the SuperLiga semifinal against D.C. United at The Home Depot Center to lead the home side to the final of the North American club Moats, McDougle likely out for season August 15 2007 Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid announced on Wednesday that running back Ryan Moats and defensive end Jerome McDougle will likely miss the entire upcoming season. Moats was taken off the field on a stretcher in the third quarter of the Eagles' 29-3 preseason loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday. He was running towards the right sideline when his ankle got caught underneath a tackler. Moats laid on the field for several minutes before being wheeled off on a stretcher. 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |  Copyright © Sportsunit. All Rights Reserved.
