CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Vikings coach Mike Zimmer isnt too proud to say he made a mistake when he cut safety Kurt Coleman.Its nice to hear that, said Coleman, now the Panthers starting safety.Coleman said he doesnt have any hard feelings toward Zimmer or the Vikings, who made him among their final round of cuts in 2014. Coleman lives by the notion that everything happens for a reason and things have worked out just fine for him in Carolina.Maybe even more than fine.Coleman was a major cog on a team that went 17-2 last season and won the NFC championship before losing to the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl.On Sunday Coleman and the Panthers will host Zimmers Vikings.Hey, if I had done well enough in Minnesota I wouldnt have wound up in Carolina, Coleman said.The 26-year-old Coleman had a career season in 2015 and the Panthers rewarded him with a three-year, $17 million contract extension this offseason. Hes considered the leader of a secondary that is made up mainly of first- and second-year players.While he holds no grudges, Coleman hasnt forgotten what it felt like to be unwanted.After what he felt was a strong performance in training camp Coleman was informed by Zimmer he didnt make the 53-man roster. Coleman, who had started 29 games in his first four seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, was simply stunned.The following day Coleman and his wife attended church services in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. Thats where they heard a sermon that brought both of them to tears.Coleman remembers being walking out of the church knowing that he would be just fine and feeling like God had a plan for him.That plan unfolded quickly.Less than an hour after leaving the church, Coleman received a phone call from his agent telling him the Kansas City Chiefs wanted him.Coleman agreed to the contract and packed up his belongings into a car and made the six-hour trek to Kansas City.There, Coleman made the Chiefs roster and played in 15 games, starting three. He had a modest 37 tackles and three interceptions, but had shown enough to attract the attention of Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott, who was Colemans first defensive coordinator in Philadelphia.The Panthers were in need of a safety, and McDermott thought Coleman would be a great fit because of his familiarity with his system.Carolina brought Coleman in in 2015 on a cheap prove-it two-year contract. The decision paid huge dividends for both sides.Coleman had a career-high 90 tackles and seven interceptions last season for the Panthers.Minnesotas loss has been Carolinas gain.Yeah, you know thats probably one of the mistakes that we made, that I made, Zimmer said. It was my first year here. He was hurt for a while and it never really jumped out at you. But obviously he had an unbelievable year. Hes a great kid. He worked real hard when he was here. You know, we probably made a mistake but Im glad hes doing well.Coleman has put the disappointment of being cut in his past.And he insists that revenge on Sunday against Zimmer and the Vikings is the last thing on his mind.I think he felt like he made the best decision for the team at that time, Coleman said. There was no animosity, there are no hard feelings. I was a business decision and when you are around this league long enough you understand that. You cant take things personally.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLAir Max 270 Ireland . LUCIE, Fla. Air Max 270 Ireland Store .

High levels of pollution and smog have forced the cancellation of two Ranji Trophy fixtures in Delhi: the Group A clash between Gujarat and Bengal and the Group C fixture between Hyderabad and Tripura.Both matches will now be played after the league phase, the BCCI announced, without mentioning specific dates or venues. With the league phase ending on December 10 and the quarter-finals scheduled to begin on December 17, it is unclear if the knockouts will be pushed back by a few days to accommodate these rescheduled games. The status of the next rounds games in Delhi, between Odisha-Assam and Hyderabad-Services, scheduled to begin from from November 13, also isnt clear yet.Not a single ball was bowled in either game, at the Feroz Shah Kotla and the Karnail Singh Stadium. Play was called off on the second afternoon after there was no improvement in the air quality.The teams were informed around 3.15 in the afternoon that the match was called off, Sairaj Bahutule, the Bengal coach, told ESPNcricinfo. Our eyes were burning. Some of the guys had headaches. Pollution was at the highest level. This is the first time in my cricketing life I have come across such a scenario. At the Karnail Singh Stadium, Hyderabad and Tripura had a meeting at 11.30am, along withh the match officials, and upon further inspection, the game was called off.dddddddddddd We could not even stand outside as our eyes started burning. It was impossible to run in or do anything, Bharat Arun, the Hyderabad coach, said.The players had complained of burning eyes on the opening day as well. Although the sun came out, it failed to penetrate the thick layer of smog that has enveloped the national capital, resulting in poor visibility. The smog is believed to be an after-effect of Diwali fireworks, as well as the burning of paddy stubble in the neighbouring states of Punjab and Haryana.Yesterday, in the afternoon, when light improved, we went out to toss. But the dust and pollution was so bad that our eyes started to water, Bengal captain Manoj Tiwary told ESPNcricinfo. In consultation with both captains, it was decided that well call off play. But today, when the same situation persisted, the match referees decided it was unsafe to even attempt to play. It was called off a little after 3pm. Weve played a lot of cricket in the north, especially Delhi, in winter months in the past. But I havent seen anything like this. ' ' '
