EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Sam Bradford immediately immersed himself in video study of his new team after the Minnesota Vikings made the emergency trade to acquire him the week before the regular season began.The starring role of this film, for Bradford, was adeptly played by Stefon Diggs.He just kind of popped, Bradford said. You just kind of notice him. Hes always getting separation. He seems to always be finding a way to get open.The live proof quickly followed.In Bradfords debut, a 17-14 victory over rival Green Bay last Sunday, Diggs had nine receptions for 182 yards . Diggs received the NFC offensive player of the week award for the performance. That included a slick third-quarter touchdown catch in which he ran to the inside of Packers cornerback Damarious Randall, veered outside as if he were going to run a corner route, then curled behind Randall to run back inside to complete the post pattern.He just throws a good ball, Diggs said. I just try to make the plays I can for him.Through two games, Diggs leads the NFL with 285 yards receiving. Diggs has been targeted on 20 of Minnesotas 64 passes , and with 16 receptions he has the fourth-best catch percentage in the league among wide receivers whove been thrown to more than 12 times. Diggs became the third player in Vikings history with two 100-yard games to start a season, the first since Cris Carter in 1997.I definitely know hes got all the tools, said Vikings cornerback Captain Munnerlyn, who often covers Diggs in practice. Great hands. Great route runner. I said when he first got here that he reminded me a little of Antonio Brown. When he was a rookie I said that. This guy, man, hes just been phenomenal for this team.Thats particularly true considering that Diggs became the first rookie in franchise history to lead the team in receptions (52) last year, with Teddy Bridgewater as the quarterback. Bradford arrived after Bridgewater went down with a massive injury to his left knee on Aug. 30, but Shaun Hill started the opener at Tennessee. Diggs thrived with him throwing the passes, too.If a puppy bites when hes young, when he gets to be big hes going to really bite you, wide receivers coach George Stewart said. He had some bite in him as a young puppy. You saw what he did when he came in last year and started to play. It wasnt a mistake he played well. He prepared himself to be a good player in our league, and hes continuing to do that.The swift rise for Diggs is remarkable considering he fell to the fifth round of the 2015 draft coming out of college one year early. Hes on the smaller side at his position at 6-foot and 190 pounds, for one. The unstable quarterback situation at Maryland during his career there didnt help productivity, even though his 1,896 all-purpose yards as a freshman in 2012 was the second-highest total in program history.Then there was the broken leg and subsequent related leg muscle injuries that kept him out for almost half of his sophomore season. A lacerated kidney cost him three games as a junior.Hes a relentless worker, though, with footwork as crisp and instinct as sharp as any of his peers around the league. His unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against the Packers notwithstanding -- a product in coach Mike Zimmers view of his desire to protect a teammate -- Diggs possesses a polish on the field and carries himself off of it in a way that transcends his age.Diggs was only 14 when his father died. Hes become a father-like figure to his younger brothers, especially Trevon Diggs, a freshman wide receiver at Alabama.Hes looking at me as far as like a role model. I want to be the first example, Diggs said. I want him to have to look nowhere else, as far as like somebody that works hard or does what theyre supposed to do.The Vikings (2-0) will be relying on Diggs more than ever now, with Bridgewater, running back Adrian Peterson and left tackle Matt Kalil all likely out for the rest of the season with injuries.Ive just got to do what Ive got to do, and at the end of the day if that happens, Diggs said with a sly smile, Ill be all right.--Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL coverage on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Dave Campbell on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/DaveCampbellAP Cheap NHL Jerseys .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.

Ouellette, from Montreal, already has three Olympic gold medals since joining the team in 1999. New York Knicks president Phil Jacksons labeling of LeBron James business associates as the three-time NBA champions posse touched a nerve with James camp on Monday.I dont care that he talks about LeBron, Maverick Carter told ESPN.com. He could say hes not that good or the greatest in the world as a basketball player. I wouldnt care. Its the word posse and the characterization I take offense to. If he would have said LeBron and his agent, LeBron and his business partners or LeBron and his friends, thats one thing. Yet because youre young and black, he can use that word. Were grown men.Carter, a high school teammate of James, has been involved in James business ventures for more than a decade. He comprises one part of LRMR, the management company founded by James, Carter, Rich Paul and Randy Mims in 2006 that guides the Cleveland Cavaliers superstars career on and off the court.Jackson, in an ESPN.com interview with Jackie MacMullan, made the statement while revisiting James departure from the Miami Heat in the summer of 2014 and what it meant for the tenure of Heat president Pat Riley.It had to hurt when they lost LeBron, Jackson said. That was definitely a slap in the face. But there were a lot of little things that came out of that. When LeBron was playing with the Heat, they went to Cleveland, and he wanted to spend the night. They dont do overnights. Teams just dont. So now [coach Erik] Spoelstra has to text Riley and say, What do I do in this situation? And Pat, who has iron-fist rules, answers, You are on the plane. You are with this team. You cant hold up the whole team because you and your mom and your posse want to spend an extra night in Cleveland.I always thought Pat had this really nice vibe with his guys. But something happened there where it broke down. I do know LeBron likes special treatment. He needs things his way.dddddddddddd.Carter, citing the recent debate around coded language, said he felt obligated to respond to Jacksons comment. He also tweeted his dismay with the article:Later, Carter posted a second tweet to clarify that he wasnt referring to Jackson as racist.James, 31, is widely considered to have the most successful off-court business enterprise by any athlete since Michael Jordan.In the past several years, James partnership with Carter has resulted in a lifetime contract extension with Nike estimated to be worth nearly $1 billion; the launch of the multimedia company Uninterrupted; profiting in the tens of millions after Beats, in which he was an equity stakeholder, sold to Apple for $3.2 billion; and the cultivation of SpringHill Entertainment, a production company that has paired with Warner Bros. and created several television projects, including The Wall, a high-stakes game show hosted by Chris Hardwick that will premiere on NBC next month.Carter, 35, is based in Los Angeles, where he oversees the entertainment aspects of James off-court interest. Paul, 34, is based in Cleveland, Ohio, and runs Klutch Sports, the sports agency that represents not only James but also his teammates Tristan Thompson and J.R. Smith?and?a score of other NBA players including Ben Simmons, the 2016 No. 1 NBA draft pick by Philadelphia. Mims, 41, is the executive administrator of player programs and logistics for the Cavs.As for Jacksons claim of special treatment for James, the Heat did stay in Cleveland following their game against the Cavaliers once while James was a member of the Miami franchise in order to go as a team to his house for Thanksgiving dinner the next day.
