Len Dawson Jersey . Mickelson barely made the cut but had the best round of the day with nine birdies and an eagle coupled with two bogeys to sit two shots behind leader Craig Lee of Scotland. Lee shot a 69 for a 12-under 204 total. "I just love the fact I am in contention and have an opportunity in my first tournament of the year here in Abu Dhabi," Mickelson said. Matt Moore Jersey . Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006. http://www.customchiefsjersey.com/custom-jerry-mays-jersey-large-686n.html . Brandon Morrow allowed five runs on six hits over three innings. He struck out two, walked one and hit a batter. Edwin Encarnacion had a two-out, bases loaded two-RBI double in the third inning. Ed Podolak Jersey . General manager Jarmo Kekalainen told Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch on Friday that he wants to see Gaboriks contributions go beyond the scoresheet before considering a long-term deal for the soon-to-be unrestricted free agent. Tony Gonzalez Jersey . He said Tuesday thats a big reason why he is now the new coach of the Tennessee Titans. Whisenhunt said he hit it off quickly with Ruston Webster when interviewing for the job Friday night. Jason Taylor has laid out the challenge to Luke Brooks and Mitchell Moses, telling the Wests Tigers young halves to prove themselves with the pressure on.Brooks will make a timely comeback from a knee complaint when the Tigers NRL season goes on the line against Penrith at Pepper Stadium on Friday night.Of the Tigers current squad, just seven members have played finals football and coach Taylor is applying the blow torch as he seeks to take his young side to the next level.Brooks and Moses jobs will be made harder with fullback James Tedesco almost certain to miss the rest of the year with a broken jaw and Taylor said it shapes as the biggest test of their young careers.Playing in semi-finals is something we havent done for a few years so the young players in our team havent tasted it, Taylor said.We got a dose of it the last couple of weeks and that is to play under the pressure of needing to perform and needing to get a result.Those games are big and we look forward to them.Tedescos injury will see Jordan Rankin move to fullback and Josh Addo-Carr onto the wing.The Panthers could welcome back Chris Grevsmuhl from an elbow injury.A lloss to the seventh-placed Panthers could see the Tigers drop to three points behind eighth spot with two games remaining, a big deficit to reel in.ddddddddddddThe Panthers victory would almost certainly seal a finals berth however Anthony Griffins side face another pressure test next week against eighth-placed Gold Coast.Its a semi-final game, Taylor said.The great thing is were playing in games where we need to win. And I like that - it adds some pressure to what were doing because thats where we want to be.We want to be playing in semi-finals, we want to be learning about games where the pressure is on and we need to win.STATS THAT MATTER* Four of the past six matches between the sides have been decided by 10 points or less.* Fifteen of Penriths 21 matches this season have been decided by eight points or less. They have only won four times this season by more than eight points.* The Tigers have been the best attacking team in the opening 20 minutes this season, scoring 144 points.Source: Fox Sports Stats ' ' '
