GREEN BAY, Wis.
Dan Fouts Jersey . - A furious second-half rally by Atlanta fell just short at one of the toughest road venues in the NFL.Star receiver Julio Jones spent the last few minutes of the game hobbling on the sideline following a career night.And the Falcons lost out on a chance to claim sole possession of first place in the mediocre NFC South.Leave it to veteran receiver Roddy White to find a bright spot in a 43-37 loss Monday to the Green Bay Packers.We scored 37 points tonight. If you cant believe in that, then you dont need to be in this locker room — we need to cut some people, White said.On the road at Lambeau Field, the Falcons showed fight in a place where most other NFC foes had folded down the stretch. They fell to 5-8 and back into a first-place tie with New Orleans, but found positive signs for the seasons final three weeks.Now if only they hadnt fallen behind 31-7 at halftime, the outlook might have been rosier for Atlanta.Were at the point of the season where its time. Weve got to play the kind of football that were capable of playing for 60 minutes, quarterback Matt Ryan said. Were in the mix, but weve got to win.Jones had a career-best 259 yards receiving before leaving with a hip injury in the fourth quarter. Ryan threw for 375 yards and four scores, including a 1-yard touchdown catch by White with 6:20 left that trimmed Green Bays lead to 40-30.Jones didnt come out for Atlantas failed 2-point conversion attempt.Difficult. Theres probably never a good time for an injury, but thats part of the game, Ryan said.Mason Crosby kicked a 53-yard field goal with 4:37 left, helping the Packers withstand Atlantas final punch.Ryans 2-yard touchdown pass to Harry Douglas with 2:15 left got Atlanta within six, but the Packers recovered the ensuing onside kick. Backup running back James Starks effectively ended the Falcons upset hopes with a 41-yard run to the Atlanta 6 with 1:37 left.Theres been some ups and downs on both sides of the ball all season, Rodgers said. But were really getting this home-field advantage thing going, with the crowd noise, with the footing, with the way were playing, being really balanced on offence.Rodgers, who threw for 322 yards, acknowledged there may have been a slight relaxation at halftime up 24.What matters most in the end to Green Bay (10-3) is that it held on for a victory and stayed a game ahead of Detroit in the NFC North.Defensively, a tale of two halves. You have to give Atlantas offence a lot of credit, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. We have plenty to clean up.Eddie Lacy ran for a touchdown and caught one of Rodgers three TD passes to help Green Bay build its 24-point halftime lead. Lacy had 73 yards on 13 carries, and 33 yards on five catches.The tough running back wiggled from side to side to celebrate his 1-yard touchdown reception with 4:20 left in second quarter. The score was set up by safety Morgan Burnetts interception.Later, Rodgers sidestepped his way out of a late blitz by Kroy Biermann and found Jordy Nelson in the back of the end zone for a 10-yard touchdown pass with 24 seconds left. That gave Green Bay its 24-point lead at halftime.Instead of folding, the Falcons fought back.Ryan found Jones for a 79-yard catch-and-run to the Packers 3 on the first play of the third quarter. The quarterback hit Eric Weems over the middle on fourth down for a 5-yard touchdown pass later in the drive.It was a sign of things to come in the second half before Green Bay was able to hang on at the end.NOTES: Lacy was pulled in the fourth quarter with a hip injury. He said he thought he would be OK, though he was sidelined as a precaution. Asked when the injury occurred, Lacy joked, Whenever I ran into the two big dudes. ... McCarthy tied Vince Lombardi with 98 career victories, second on the franchise list behind Curly Lambeau (209). ... S Dwight Lowery had a team-high 13 tackles and a forced fumble for Atlanta.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL

Kellen Winslow Jersey .com) - Real Madrid claimed its 16th consecutive victory across all competitions on Saturday after earning a 2-1 win over Malaga at the Estadio La Rosaleda.EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Mikhail Prokhorov is interested in hearing from potential buyers for the Brooklyn Nets, but a spokesperson for the Russian billionaire said Tuesday no sale is imminent.As we have said for many months, ownership is always open to listening to offers — thats just good business, Ellen Pinchuk said in a statement. There is nothing imminent in terms of a sale of any stake in the team.That came in response to a report earlier Tuesday from Bloomberg News, citing two people with direct knowledge of the matter, that Prokhorov had retained Evercore Partners to sell the team.Prokhorov bought 80 per cent of the team and 45 per cent of Barclays Center in Brooklyn in 2010. He said earlier this season he was willing to listen to offers for a minority share of the club but wouldnt sell his majority stake.He had set a goal of winning a championship within five years, but the Nets have gotten nowhere close despite the NBAs highest payroll. They are 16-22 this season, losers of six straight, a season after ESPN.com reporrted that the Nets basketball operations department lost $144 million.
Junior Seau Jersey. Prokhorov downplayed those losses when he last met with reporters before the Nets home opener in November. But he would have little problem making all of it back and more if he did sell at a time when franchise values are soaring, topped by the $2 billion Steve Ballmer paid for the Los Angeles Clippers last summer.Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said he had just returned from a family vacation and didnt know what was happening with the Nets, but that owning an NBA team was difficult.It could be the ruble, it could be political issues (in Russia), he said in Sacramento before the Mavericks played the Kings.But its tough and its not an easy business. We all come in making promises of what we are going to do. Well, it took me 12 years to do what I said I was going to do, Cuban added. Its just not easy and sometimes it gets frustrating.___Associated Press writer Antonio Harvey in Sacramento, California, contributed to this report.
