Chris Archer did not have the best night Tuesday. Nike Presto Fly Baratas .First of all, he picked up a loss -- his league leading 17th of the year -- against the Boston Red Sox despite only allowing two runs in five innings. Then, upon exiting the game, he encountered a wardrobe malfunction in the dugout.Getting caught on camera with a face full of hood is pretty embarrassing, but Archer handled it gracefully Wednesday morning.Yes, these things happen to the best of us. Just most of us didnt finish in the top five of the American League Cy Young voting last season. Nike Air Max 180 Og Ultramarine . The lawyers filed a 33-page amended complaint Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan, expanding on the suit originally filed Oct. 3 in New York Supreme Court. Arbitrator Fredric Horowitz last week refused to compel Selig to testify in the grievance, and Rodriguez then walked out of the hearing without testifying. Nike Shox Gravity . Paul Pierce couldnt believe he missed at the end. Young scored a season-high 26 points to spark a huge effort from the leagues most productive bench, and Los Angeles beat the Brooklyn Nets 99-94 on Wednesday night after blowing a 27-point lead. http://www.prestoflynike.es/19-br-nike-air-max-93/ . -- San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks was fined $15,570 by the NFL on Wednesday for his hit on Saints quarterback Drew Brees last Sunday. NEW YORK -- These are tough and uncertain times for the New York Jets and their fans.Turn on local sports radio or check Twitter, and the frustration and desperation oozes right out of the speakers and jumps off the screen.Its open season on just about everyone, from owner Woody Johnson to general manager Mike Maccagnan to coach Todd Bowles to quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and cornerback Darrelle Revis.Thats what happens when the team is 3-8 after high hopes just a few months ago -- and the future is ominously cloudy.Sometimes in life, you take body blows, wide receiver Brandon Marshall said Monday. We all get hit and we all fall down and it hurts. Its disappointing, its scary and theres a lot of frustration and theres a lot of emotions there. Youve just got to pick yourself back up and deal with reality.After a 10-6 season, led by Fitzpatricks franchise-record 31 touchdown passes, huge years by Marshall and Eric Decker and a solid showing by Bowles defense, the next step for the Jets was expected to be a playoff appearance.They finished a win short of that a year ago, and a daunting early season schedule did little to temper those hopes within the organization. Then, the losses began piling. So did the injuries and the critical mistakes.Weve hit stumbling blocks throughout the year, Marshall said.And, now, the Jets are here: Theyll likely miss the postseason for the sixth straight year.Bowles seat is getting warmer by the week in only his second season and many fans are angry.The clusters of empty seats at MetLife Stadium on Sunday were as clear a signal that theyve had enough with the losing as the banners that flew around the practice field imploring Johnson to clean house two years ago.It would seem that Bowles is safe, at least to get to next season. But his repeated decision to stick with Fitzpatrick rather than turn to second-year quarterback Bryce Petty for the final stretch of games has been met with a collective shaking of heads from fans who have already put this season aside and want to start planning for next season.Frustrated. Its definitely not what you want, Bowles said of this season. None of us got to these positions by not handling adversity or going through adversity. We just have to keep fighting and keep swinging.But Bowles in-game management has been criticized, and the revelation that defensive line stars Muhammad Wilkerson and Sheldon Richardson were late for a teeam meeting earlier this season had some wondering if cracks in the foundation are starting to show. Nike Air Presto Fly. No, no coaching change, cornerback Buster Skrine said. Todd Bowles is a great coach. We just need to finish (games). Coach cant go out there and play the game.Obviously, hes coaching us well enough to get us in situations to win. We just have to make plays at the end of the game.Such as in Sundays loss , when Tom Brady marched the Patriots down the field 83 yards for the go-ahead touchdown.Five of the Jets eight losses have been by margins of 10 points or fewer, and the blame from fans and media has often been directed at the coaching.They all hurt the same, Bowles said.Many Jets fans, however, arent sure where to turn to feel better. Well, other than that high draft spot.Fitzpatrick is a free agent and so is Geno Smith, leaving Petty and Christian Hackenberg as the only signed quarterbacks on the roster heading into the offseason.Revis has stunningly gone from being a shutdown cornerback to looking like a shell of himself. Hes due $13 million next season and his $15.3 million salary cap hit could make him an offseason casualty.Marshall is scheduled to make $7.5 million next year, and Decker is due to make $7.25 million.You never know in this business, said Marshall, when asked if he thinks hell be back before adding that hed like to retire someday with the Jets.Center Nick Mangold has played all 11 of his NFL seasons with the Jets, but his $9.075 million cap hit could have him looking for a new team next offseason.New York looked into trading Richardson during the deadline this year, and could be even more inclined to make a deal this offseason with him scheduled to make $8.069 million with the fifth-year option on his rookie deal.Thats a whole lot of money and familiar faces that could be cleared from the roster.There are still five more games to go before all of that, though. Bowles hopes there are a few wins along the way.You have to keep fighting and you have to become smarter at the same time, and only then will we get better, he said. Were working on that every day. Were fighting going forward and weve been through adversity before and well come out of this one.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL NFL Jerseys ChinaCheap Jerseys WholesaleNFL Jerseys ChinaJerseys WholesaleJerseys NFL ChinaCheap Jerseys ChinaChina NFL Jerseys ' ' '
