LONDON - Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones would like to see the NFL put a team in London. Jeff Bagwell Jersey .Jones, one of the most outspoken owners in professional sports, is in Britain to watch his team face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at Wembley Stadium.On a personal basis, and speaking for the Dallas Cowboys, we very much would like a team in London, Jones said Thursday. It has cachet. It has an air about it of international competition.London is one of probably two or three cities outside the United States that really does have all of the criteria that I would look at for having an NFL team. I certainly know that one of the reasons were here this week playing Sunday is to help encourage interest and increase the interest in the game, increase the interest in the awareness of our game.The NFL has been playing regular-season games at Wembley, the home of Englands national soccer team, since 2007. This season, there are three games, culminating on Sunday with the Cowboys (6-3) and the Jaguars (1-8).On Thursday, the NFL announced that there will be another three games next season, starting with the Miami Dolphins playing the New York Jets on Oct. 4 in the first-ever division game in England.NFL officials have said they envisage having a franchise in London one day, though no time frame has been announced and several logistical issues would need to be resolved.The Jaguars, owned by American billionaire Shad Khan, are also on the schedule for next season, and played in London last season as well. They have agreed to a four-year deal to come to London, so theyll be back in 2016.His imagination is welcomed. His business acumen is really welcome, Jones said of Khan. I know that hes a progressive thinker. Certainly his interest that he has in playing here and potentially being involved more so in the future is one that were all aware of.For the Cowboys, who have played several exhibition games overseas, this is the first time theyll be playing for real outside the United States. And against the Jaguars, Dallas will technically be the visiting team.The problem we have is that we dont want to forgo a home game, Jones said. As youre well aware, we dont play many games relative to other sports, and so thats not something that were interested in doing.But our away game, and our ability to play away, has always been a consideration, something that we would do.That doesnt mean that Jones isnt a fan of Britain, or the monarchy.One of the greatest feelings that I have is the picture of Princess Di and her young men there with Cowboy jerseys on, Jones said. Its one of my favourite of all time.___Online:AP NFL website: —www.pro32.ap.org and —www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Jake Marisnick Astros Jersey . "It was awesome," he said. Coming off an ugly three-game sweep at the hands of the Yankees, Toronto found itself in a deep hole early after the Reds put an eight spot up on starter Liam Hendriks (six runs in 1 2/3 innings pitched) and Todd Redmond in the second. Bryan Abreu Jersey . Replay backed him up. Adeiny Hechavarria immediately followed the ruling with a go-ahead sacrifice fly for the Miami Marlins, who held on to beat the Seattle Mariners 3-2 on Sunday completing a three-game sweep. https://www.cheapastros.com/2653o-abraham-toro-jersey-astros.html . Maximilian Arnold put Wolfsburg ahead in the eighth minute, when the stationary Fallou Diagne allowed him to guide Patrick Ochs cross beyond the helpless Freiburg goalkeeper, and Ivica Olic doubled the lead three minutes later after Luiz Gustavo did well to set him up.GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- This is how Kansas coach Bill Self wants Andrew Wiggins to play every night. He knows Wiggins is capable of it. Wiggins had 26 points and 11 rebounds, the only Kansas player in double figures, as the 13th-ranked Jayhawks lost 67-61 to No. 19 Florida. It was the second straight road loss for Kansas (6-3), but a potential building block for Wiggins. He was the lone bright spot for an inexperienced team learning how to play together and handle tough environments. "What Andrew did, he competed," Self said. "He scored points, but he got rebounds and weve been on his butt about that. He made shots. Im glad he made them and all that, but thats not what Im glad he did. I thought he was more aggressive and competed more." Wiggins, the ultra-talented freshman guard from Canada who is widely considered one of the top picks in next summers NBA draft, posted his first double-double and set career highs in points and rebounds. "Even though we lost, we arent going to back down," Wiggins said. "We are fighting to the end. Its never good to lose, but we dont want it to affect the rest of the season. We have until March to come together." This one wasnt nearly as heart-breaking as Saturdays loss at Colorado, which hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to win 75-72. The Gators (7-2) went on a 21-0 run early and led by as many as 18 points in the first half. Scottie Wilbekin led the Gators with a career-high 18 points. "I think we should have had an electrical shortage and cancelled the game after (leading 10-3)," Self said. "We made a couple of shots and played pretty well the first four or five minutes. But we were awful after that. ... That was not a good team playing there at all, and when things started to go bad, we didnt do anytthing to stop it. Brad Peacock Astros Jersey. That was frustrating." Self called several timeouts, but couldnt do anything to stop Floridas momentum. Surely Floridas four senior starters and playing at home were factors, especially when pitted against Kansas young lineup. "Im not sure young guys have ever faced a situation like that," Florida centre Patric Young said. "Weve been blown out before. Weve blown people out before. We know both sides of the spectrum. ... We did a great job turning them over." The Jayhawks committed 16 turnovers in the first 20 minutes -- as many as they had in any game this season. "Weve got to get everyone playing together," Self said. "I cant blame it all on youth. ... A lot of it may be youth, but I think we can still play better individually." Kansas clawed its way out of the huge hole and made it 60-55 on Wiggins 3-pointer with 55.8 seconds remaining. It was his second 3 in the final 1:20. Florida closed it out from the free-throw line -- barely. The Gators made 20 of 34 free throws, including nine of their final 11. Kansas got it as close as 65-61 with 10.9 seconds left, Floridas Kasey Hill ended any chance of a comeback by draining two free throws. The biggest issue for the Jayhawks was 24 turnovers. Many of those came in the decisive early run. Wiggins and fellow guards Wayne Selden Jr. and Frank Mason combined for 13 turnovers. Wiggins, though, made up for his miscues by getting four offensive rebounds, blocking two shots and make all eight of his shots from the foul line. He was 7 of 15 from the field, including 4 of 9 from 3-point range. "I didnt think Wiggins could shoot the ball that well," Young said. "I know he was a great player, but he really shot the ball well tonight." ' ' '
