Longtime NFL reporter and throat cancer survivor Chris Mortensen will be honored later this month with the NFL Players Associations Georgetown Lombardi Award.The award is presented annually to leaders in the sports community whose lives have been touched by cancer and have faced it publicly with courage. ESPNs Mortensen joins past award recipients Devon Still and his daughter, Leah; Robert Kraft; and Larry Fitzgerald.Chris Mortensen is a trusted voice within the media, one who we have come to greatly respect and value over the years for his work rooted in integrity, NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith said. It is my personal honor and privilege to bestow him with this prestigious award at the Lombardi Gala as we help in the fight against a disease that has touched my own family, and to honor the enduring legacy of coach Vincent Lombardi, for whom the center is named.The Lombardi Gala celebrates the accomplishments and impact made by members of the Cancer Centers community to eradicate cancer. The event brings together some of Washingtons top cancer prevention advocates, philanthropists and cancer survivors to raise awareness and money that directly benefits research taking place at Georgetown Universitys Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.---SHAKE IT: Brandon Marshall is preparing to show off some new dance moves.The New York Jets wide receiver isnt about to make any predictions about the game, but says hes got a special celebration planned if he gets into the end zone Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.I guarantee you if I score, Im twerking, Marshall said with a big smile. Thats what Im guaranteeing.Steelers receiver Antonio Brown has made a reputation of dancing after touchdowns, and drawing the occasional fine. The one-time Dancing With The Stars contestant was docked $9,115 by the NFL after twerking following a TD in Washington in Week 1.Marshall said he hasnt actually twerked before, but will get his moves together.I know you put your hands on your knees and thrust your butt, he said. Ill figure it out by Sunday.And, no, he wont be asking Brown for any advice.Im trying to win that bet, still, Marshall said.During training camp, Marshall jokingly proposed a bet to Brown that whoever of the two finished with the most yards receiving for the season would win the other receivers car. So far, its Brown by a solid margin: 369-249.Oh, and Marshall believes there should be no fines for NFL players dancing in the end zone. The league, he thinks, should allow for a lot more fun.We talk about, we want to grow the business of the NFL and revenues, Marshall said. We see growth from 10 billion to 20 billion (dollars) by the end of 2022. We need more of that. We need guys to come out of the box. We need Antonio Brown twerking in the end zone. Kids shouldnt be fined for that. Guys should go out there and wear colorful cleats. Thats our culture right now. This is this new era, this hip-hop and lifestyle era. We need to embrace that. You cant just put guys in a box.---NFLS MUSIC MEN AND WOMEN: Step right up for your limited-edition shirts designed by musicians to celebrate their favorite teams.Yep, Eminem and the Lions. Fergie and the Dolphins. Dierks Bentley and the Cardinals. Melissa Etheridge and the Chiefs. Frank Sinatra and, naturally, the Giants.Florida Georgie Line and, uh, the Titans? Well, sure, Tyler and Brian do much of their recording in Nashville, close enough to Nissan Stadium to walk it to a game.Teespring, an on-demand e-commerce platform, has made the very cool-looking shirts available at http://collabs.teespring.com/NFL/.The Denver Broncos have been a longtime favorite of ours, so when Teespring approached us to collaborate on a design we jumped at the idea, says Ryan Tedder of One Republic. Hope all our fans as well as Broncos fans love it as much as we do.Several of the acts are better known locally than nationally, but if the shirts look great, so what. Those bands include All Time Low (Ravens), Trampled By Turtles (Vikings) and Underoath (Buccaneers).---MORE MUSIC: The Pro Football Hall of Fame is letting fans vote.No, not for who gets inducted next summer, but for who they want to see headline the concert the night before the enshrinements at Canton, Ohio.The Concert for Legends featured Aerosmith last year and Tim McGraw this year.

A prize for a fan who voted for the performer selected will include an all-expenses paid trip for two to the concert, enshrinements and Hall of Fame game.---MILLERS MENTOR: If Von Miller spins his way to a sack of Matt Ryan on Sunday, hell have Falcons defensive end Dwight Freeney to thank -- and Atlantas QB will know exactly who to blame.Miller and Freeney were working out in Southern California a few summers ago and Miller asked Freeney to teach him the ins and outs of his swirl and twirl, and Freeney happily obliged.Miller appreciated Freeney not holding back information and him telling me everything about it.He just didnt tell me when you run to them, you turn around and spin. He really broke it down from an approach standpoint, from a footwork standpoint, from a mental standpoint and he helped me a lot with that. I dont know how many sacks I got off of spin moves, but I think its a lot, Miller said.Miller pays that forward, not just with fellow Broncos pass rushers Shane Ray and Shaq Barrett but with players on other teams.Theres a guy on every single team that you can really speak that language with, especially in the AFC West with Justin Houston, Khalil Mack, Melvin Ingram, Miller said. So, its a little fraternity there and we all speak the same language.Surely, Broncos QB Trevor Siemian and offensive tackles Russell Okung and Donald Stephenson wont like hearing about this pass-rushing kinship in their division.A sack is a sack. Im going to get sacks, theyre going to get sacks. You really cant stop that, Miller reasoned. I think you benefit more from really just sharing that knowledge and being the best players you can be. I remember Justin Houston two years ago when he got 22 sacks, he had like a little jab-step swipe with double hands, and watching film, asking about that move, that was one of my moves back then, as well.So, its a copycat league. If it works, people are going to do it. Its just a small community of pass rushers that speak the same language, Miller said. Its one of the beautiful things about the National Football League. Guys really dont just try to hold back secrets or moves. Just put the knowledge out there and if it applies to you, you use it. If you cant, you cant.---AP Pro Football Writers Barry Wilner and Arnie Stapleton, and Sports Writer Dennis Waszak Jr., contributed.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLFake NMD Canada ., for the next three years with the signings on Monday of Daryl Townsend and Michael Carter.

Ultra Boost Canada Restock .Y. - Jerome Samson scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the St.Former Collingwood premiership-winning captain Nick Maxwell has lauded the growth of his former Pies backline colleague Heath Shaw, after being reunited with him at emerging AFL power Greater Western Sydney.The two played together at Collingwood for nine seasons between 2005 and 2013 and were part of the 2010 flag-wnning side.Shaw then headed to GWS, where he has played the last three years and and Maxwell retired following the 2014 season.Half-back Shaw has gone from strength to strength at the Giants, earning back-to-back All Australian honours and plenty of plaudits for being director of the mainly youthful GWS backline.They were reunited late last year when Maxwell joined the Giants on a part-time time basis to help with their leadership group, of which 30-year-old Shaw is vice-captainMaxwell is assisting Giants backline coach Nick Walsh and has watched Shaw flourish in his massively influential role at the club, which will play Western Bulldogs in a preliminary final on Saturday .Ive seen Shawy grow really well, Maxwell told AAP.I played a lot of footy with him, but having been away from him a couple of years (Ive been) watching externally.ddddddddddddBut now being inside seeing his growth and how much he understands his role and how important it is and he understands that hes got to be doing that for us to be at our best.Its been good to see his improvement. As a footballer, you hit your peak when you get to those mid-to-late 20s, that was where he came in (to GWS).I think (Giants head coach) Leon Cameron has been great for him.Maxwell agreed Shaws organisational role, in which he barks instructions to his less experienced defensive colleagues about where to go, was akin to having a coach out on the field.And thats what we expect of him., Maxwell said.Part of his role is not just about beating his man and getting the ball.Its about setting up, not just in the backline, but also seeing whats happening in front of him and making sure that hes educating the midfield and the forwards about whats happening.
