ARLINGTON, Texas -- The salsa is back, and the New York Giants finally finished when the Dallas Cowboys failed to stop the clock in the final seconds.Eli Manning threw for three touchdowns, including the go-ahead score to Victor Cruz in his first game in nearly two years, and the Giants beat the Cowboys 20-19 Sunday.The Giants (1-0) won the debut of coach Ben McAdoo after 12 years and two Super Bowl titles under Tom Coughlin while spoiling the first game for Dallas Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott.Cruz, who missed most of 2014 with a knee injury and all of last season with a bad calf, broke free in the end zone for a 3-yard TD with 6 minutes remaining, prompting his trademark salsa dance.You couldnt even describe what was going through my body, said Cruz , who had four catches for 34 yards. Wanted obviously to do the dance. Im sure Ive got that down pat.Everybody just pulled for me each and every day, each and every week as we got closer to Week 1. And to score a touchdown. You just couldnt make up a story any better than that.Because of Tony Romos back injury, Prescott and Elliott were the first rookie quarterback-running back combo to start an opener for the Cowboys since Roger Staubach and Calvin Hill in 1969.The game ended with Dallas in position for a roughly 57-yard field goal, but Terrance Williams didnt get out of bounds after a catch and the clock ran out before Prescott could spike the ball.Dan Bailey had four field goals, matched his career long at 56 yards and had another one from 54.The guy was trying to make a play, Prescott said of Williams. You never want to knock a guy trying to make a play.Randy Bullock, kicking because of Josh Browns one-game suspension, made the extra point for the lead after an earlier missed PAT.New York beat Dallas in an opener for the first time in nine tries.The Giants defense, fortified in free agency, held Dallas after the go-ahead score. Then the Giants emphasized the run to use most of the clock, quite a contrast to last season when questionable clock management contributed to six losses late in regulation or in overtime in a 6-10 season.Elliott was held to a 2.5-yard average (51 yards on 21 carries), although he had his first touchdown, and the only one for Dallas. Prescott was 25 of 45 for 227 yards.Manning was 19 of 28 for 207 yards, including a 45-yarder to Odell Beckham Jr. set up the first TD.ANOTHER ROOKIE FIRSTNew York receiver Sterling Shepard, the son of late former NFL receiver Derrick Sheppard, scored his first touchdown against one of his dads former teams. The second-round pick made a leaping catch over Dallas rookie Anthony Brown for a 9-yard score.LOSING WITHOUT ROMO AGAINThe Cowboys fell to 1-12 without Romo since the first of two broken collarbones last season in Week 2. Dallas lost the first seven without its four-time Pro Bowler on the way to a 4-12 finish. Romo broke a bone in his back in a preseason game at Seattle. He probably wont be back until mid-October at the earliest.DEZ DIDNT CATCH ITCowboys receiver Dez Bryant had an apparent 24-yard touchdown catch from Prescott overturned on review in the first half when the replay showed the ball coming loose as he landed and slid out of bounds in the end zone. Of course, the sequence sparked an immediate Dez caught it/Dez didnt catch it reaction on Twitter. The catch that wasnt in Green Bay in the playoffs two seasons ago will apparently live forever.INJURIESNew York linebacker J.T. Thomas III was carted off with a sprained knee at halftime after getting hurt on a kickoff return on the final play of the first half. He didnt return. ... Dallas cornerback Orlando Scandrick, who missed all of 2015 with a knee injury, was out part of the first half with a hamstring injury. He returned and had a sack in the second half.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys . Pettersen, winner of last years Evian Championships, had nine birdies and three bogeys, holding off a series of challengers led by Marion Ricordeau of France.

The FA rejected Wilsheres appeal that the length of his punishment was "clearly excessive" and said Thursday his suspension begins with immediate effect.

No. 13-seeded John Isner and No. 21 Philipp Kohlschreiber were among six players who dropped out of the tournament on Tuesday, joining No. 12 seed Tommy Haas and two other players who withdrew on Monday.

Nike NFL Jerseys China . -- Claudio Bieler hadnt scored since early September, and not from the run of play since mid-July. Coaching in esports stinks. Thats what my eternally frustrated friend Nick always tells me, and he has a point.Esports is still a new competitive category, and while it has existed in some form since nearly the start of the video game era -- see the 1980 Space Invaders Tournament or the 1990 Nintendo World Championships -- it has been only in recent years that it exploded. Both audiences and jackpots are massive; there just hasnt been the same amount of time to develop the support infrastructure that traditional sports have over decades.One organization hopes to change that.Boston-based startup Gamer Sensei has jumped into this field, seeking to change the way players find coaches that meet their needs. It doesnt matter it its a professional esports organization looking to upgrade their coaching staff, or the gamer at home who wants to improve.Like a lot of businesses, Gamer Sensei started when someone had a simple need and found themselves unable to find a simple solution to meet that need - to find some coaching. It started when co-founder William Collis, a lifelong gamer, was playing Blizzard Entertainments extremely popular online card game, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft. Collis tale isnt that of a young card-game phenom blasting to the top of the ladder.I was just playing Hearthstone with a bunch of buddies and I was basically kicked out of the group because I was so bad at Hearthstone, Collis said. I was using all the resources available to me at the time, Twitch streams, deck guides, and nothing was working.Collis quest to become a better Hearthstone player led him to seek help from other players, with decidedly mixed results. One such experience, being coached by another Hearthstone player who appeared to have a little more expertise with the popular Face Hunter deck than Collis did, led to arguments and a mid-game hangup.From these types of frustrating experiences, an idea emerged. If finding personalized help is this difficult, perhaps helping players finding solutions is a business that needs to exist? Connecting with his other co-founders, Rohan Gopaldas, a classmate and friend from Harvard Business School, and Jiapeng Ji, a Boston-based software engineer with experience in athletic coaching infrastructure, Gamer Sensei was born. After a successful seed round in which $2.3 million in funding from area venture investment firms was raised, an idea became a business.Gamer Senseis core business model isnt all that different from Uber, but instead of matching people who need rides to drivers, they seek to match gamers to coaches. The service would only be as good as the help that they sign up, soo they needed to figure out how to make sure the coaches they bring on-board are competent.dddddddddddd. And since this is 2016, analytics are involved.While the Gamer Sensei gang was understandably reluctant to leak all the secret sauce of their algorithms, we did discuss some of the factors that they use in finding coaching talent. In Hearthstone, for example, a players ladder finishes and Hearthstone Championship Tour points play a factor in ascertaining their experience playing at high levels. But like in a sport such as baseball, in which many of the best coaches were less-than-elite talent on the field, coaching is more than subject matter competence. Rohan Gopaldas described to me their companys organizational philosophy when it comes to choosing coaches, or sensei as they refer to them.Community manager Dan Yoo and I come from customer service backgrounds, so we really try to bring out that element because, at the end of the day, this is a service that were providing. So were really choosy in terms of how we pick our sensei. At the end of the day, our sensei also need to be great teachers. One such upcoming teacher is Cong Strifecro Shu, known as one of the top Hearthstone players in the scene today.Will Gamer Senseis methods be successful? At least one esports organization is betting that it will be. NRG eSports, a group that competes across a wide field of popular games, is a partner of Gamer Sensei in curriculum development and coaching. But theyve taken that relationship one step forward.NRG, in the process of expanding the number of Esports in which they compete -- they also recently added Nairoby Nairo Quezada to bring Super Smash Bros. into their stable -- is now seeking to field their own Hearthstone team. And rather than simply scour the free agent lists for whoever happens available, NRG has turned to Gamer Sensei for staffing, with the new players hired being exclusively from the Gamer Sensei ranks.That esports now has startups such as Gamer Sensei tells us, almost as much as the size of the prize pools, that the field is maturing and putting together the structures that will help esports thrive in the coming years and decades. Football in the United States started out as an experimental game staged between two college teams in the 19th century. Basketball began when a PhysEd professor threw a soccer ball into a peach basket. From humble beginnings to millions of fans, the maturation of esports as an industry is a great thing to be able to witness firsthand. ' ' '
