CHICAGO -- The Bears?have released kicker?Robbie Gould, who missed two extra-point attempts in the teams preseason finale at Cleveland. John Stones Jersey .The team announced Goulds release late Sunday.Gould, 34, is the Bears all-time franchise leader in career points (1,207), field goals made (276) and career field goals of 50 yards or more (23).The longest-tenured player on the Bears roster, Gould is the ninth-most-accurate kicker in league history. He also owns the NFLs third-best field goal percentage from 50 yards or longer.With no other kickers listed on the Bears depth chart, it was uncertain how they would proceed at the position entering Sundays opener at Houston.Gould took to Twitter to thank the fans and organization.Gould, who entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the New England Patriots, was named All-Pro in 2006, helping the Bears on their march to Super Bowl XLI with a game-winning field goal in overtime in the NFC divisional playoffs against Seattle. Gould has 12 game-winning kicks over his 11-year career.However, Gould suffered through a frustrating 2015 season. Although he connected on 33-of-39 field goals attempts (84.6 percent) in 2015, Gould hit a bumpy stretch late in the year when he went a combined 2-for-5 in gut-wrenching losses to San Francisco and Washington.Determined to bounce back, Gould embarked on a new training and nutritional regimen in the offseason and reported to camp at a heavier weight after he gained muscle mass. While Gould went 5-for-6 on field goals in the preseason, he failed to convert two PATs in the Bears preseason finale at Cleveland.Gould was scheduled to earn a $3 million base salary in 2016, part of the lucrative four-year extension he signed in 2013. He already collected a $500,000 roster bonus on the first day of the league year.Information from ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter was used in this report. Benjamin Mendy Jersey . Anthony Davis had 31 points and 17 rebounds in his seventh straight game with more than 20 points, but that was only enough to keep the Pelicans competitive into the final minutes. Andrew Bogut had 10 points and 15 rebounds for Golden State, which rebounded from a loss a night earlier in Oklahoma City and snapped a two-game skid. Brahim Diaz Manchester City Jersey . Reassurance came from Paul Tesori, his caddie and close friend whose newborn son is in intensive care in a Florida hospital. "Paul sent me a text this morning, just told me he loved me and wanted to go out and fight as hard as I would any other day," Simpson said Sunday after doing just that. http:///...chester-City-Jersey/ . Robinson finished with 17 points, all but two in the second half, and Lawson had 14 after halftime and finished with a game-high 11 assists as the Nuggets handed Dallas its first home loss in eight games this season. J.J. Hickson led Denver with 22, and Kenneth Faried added 10 points and 10 rebounds. The Matildas will enter the Olympics all the wiser for a 3-1 away loss to Brazil, coach Alen Stajcic says.The Brazilians, aided by some home-town calls in the friendly at Fortaleza on Sunday morning (AEST), scored three times after Australian star Katrina Gorry was sent off.Gorry was marched for second yellow card in the 50th minute, when the Matildas held a 1-0 lead in their sole warm-up for the Rio Olympics.When the game was 11 v 11, it was certainly more in our favour than it was for them, Stajcic told AAP from Fortaleza.Playing 40 minutes with 10 players against them just made it a little bit tough but they are all things you have to learn to deal with.Certainly the Brazilian ref didnt mind the odd 50-50 going their way a little bit but again you have got to deal with these things when you play in a foreign country with a foreign ref.Stajcic praised his players composure amid a string of questionable calls at the Estadio Presidente Vargas. Philippe Sandler Manchester City Jersey. No-one likes to lose, he said.And we will look at things we didnt do so well and there are a couple of things we need to tighten up on.But the things we could control, which was our play and our defending, was quite good.You cant control the decisions of the referee sometimes. That made it a little bit of a challenge.And our players reacted pretty well I thought. We had good discipline and worked really hard when we were down to 10.They had to catch us on the break to get a couple of goals against us.Australias Olympic campaign opens against Canada in Sao Paulo on August 3, two days before the Games opening ceremony in Rio, before group games against Germany (August 7) and Zimbabwe (August 10).
