Custom New England Patriots Jerseys .Y. -- Nigel Bradham is trying to stay upbeat even after learning hell be suspended for the first game of the regular season for a year-old drug offence. The NFL announced on Wednesday that the Buffalo Bills linebacker will miss the start of the season because of a one-game suspension. Bradham said the suspension comes from a ticket he received last August for marijuana possession in suburban Buffalo. "Its something that followed me from last year, a decision I made," Bradham said. "I regret it, I made a mistake. I apologized to my teammates. Im sorry that weve got to go through this again. Hopefully I just get past it come back in Game 2 ready." Bradham said that he first learned of the suspension in March and decided to appeal. The appeal happened one week ago, Bradham said, and the NFL upheld its original ruling. The linebacker was disappointed to receive discipline a year after the incident took place, especially because all charges were dropped. "Everything was dismissed and Im not in the substance abuse program or anything," Bradham said. "Its kind of shocking and disappointing that it came back again." The suspension is a setback for the 24-year-old, who has made significant strides both on and off the football field this season. With linebacker Kiko Alonso out for the season because of a knee injury, Bradham has taken charge of Alonsos starting weakside spot and has worked exclusively with the first team at training camp. He has drawn praise from both coach Doug Marrone and defensive co-ordinator Jim Schwartz for his change in approach and attitude compared to one year ago. "Obviously its unfortunate, especially since Nigel has been playing very well," Marrone said. "Like Ive said before, Ive probably seen the biggest improvement in him. When I say that, Im not just talking about him as a football player. When you look back at what happened, maybe it took something like that for him to grow up and I think hes learned to make better decisions." Bradham has stressed that the incident last year served as a wake-up call. "I was hanging around with some of the wrong people and made some bad decisions," Bradham told The Associated Press last week. "It was a chance where I could have lost everything that Ive worked my life for out here. I just had to get that focus and remove myself from some of the people I was around, make better decisions and be a man. ... I let these guys down and I cant do that anymore. Ive got to kind of put the team on my back. I feel like I owe them." A fourth-round pick of the Bills in 2012, Bradham had 51 tackles in 2013. He remains eligible to participate in preseason practices and games. Bradham may not be the only Bills defender to miss the start of the season. Defensive tackle Marcell Dareus may also face NFL discipline following arrests for drug possession and a drag racing incident this spring. Kenny Britt Jersey . Both sides came closest to scoring in the first half, when Roma had a goal from Mattia Destro waved off for offside and Inters Rodrigo Palacio headed high. "A draw was a fair result.

Chile applied pressure in midfield right from the beginning, challenging aggressively and continually surging forward.

Rookie head coach David Blatt is one of their own, making his name professionally in Israel and raising a family there.Nearly all of Clevelands games are broadcast live on Israeli sports channels, and the national morning radio broadcast almost always delivers the score of the previous nights games. Radio shows feature a daily update segment, and local newspapers have begun to resemble Ohio dailies in their blanket coverage of the drama surrounding Blatts talented yet underachieving team.Its beyond surreal. It feels almost alien-like, said Gil Barak, who broadcasts Clevelands games for the Sport 5 TV channel. This is a guy were used to seeing around here as his everyday self. Now hes got LeBron and directing the most high-profile team in the world.And as Cleveland fans worry that Blatt isnt using his roster properly, Israelis are proudly sticking behind him. Boston-born Blatt, 55, remains one of the countrys most beloved figures, thanks to his winning history as a coach in his adopted homeland and national pride in his making it big time.It means a lot from two perspectives: Number one, I can do something for the people in Israel, and number two, I can do something about bringing seven million new fans to the Cavaliers, Blatt said Monday night after a third straight win put the Cavaliers at 22-20. Ive been very fortunate, we had a great deal of success in Israel the last several years, so people are positive about this and about me and Ive got Bron and Kevin and Kyrie and they love the NBA over there so its a natural tie-in, and its great.Israelis went crazy in 2009 when Omri Casspi became the countrys first NBA player, and again when Gal Mekel made fleeting appearances for the Dallas Mavericks and New Orleans Pelicans. But those reactions paled in comparison to the hoopla surrounding Blatts sudden ascension to become the first coach to jump from the European leagues to the NBA. Learning that he would coach the planets greatest player has only added to the excitement.Barak said the channel has experienced a spike in ratings
