      a game over the weeken

      If youre looking for a reason to get mad today, please look no further than the latest blog post from Hope Solo. 49ers Super Bowl Jerseys . The U.S. goalkeeper, who was just announced as a member of the Olympics team,?was clearly inspired to speak up after her NWSL team was forced to play in the outfield of a baseball stadium?during a game over the weekend. And (thankfully) she does not hold anything back.Directing her attention initially to the deplorable situation during Sundays match against the Western New York Flash, Solo goes on to make a detailed and impassioned case about the state of the league.?As you can imagine, its not pretty, but totally worth your time. From the low salaries to the field and travel conditions to the frightening lack of security, the post should definitely open a few eyes.Warning: Reading this will likely make your blood boil. Proceed with caution.While this is truly horrible and pathetic, at least womens soccer has such incredible players involved who are willing to take a stand. Thats a start for change, right?See something entertaining on social media that you think deserves to be shared? Let me know on Twitter, @darcymaine_espn. Laken Tomlinson Super Bowl Jersey . After a lengthy wait, persistent rain finally forced the postponement of the Nationals game against the Miami Marlins on Saturday night. The teams, and a few thousand fans, waited nearly four hours from the 7:05 scheduled start time before an announcement was made shortly before 11 p. Ahkello Witherspoon Super Bowl Jersey . The CFLs leading rusher kept adding to his gaudy numbers this season and scored the winning touchdown with just over two minutes to play. The New Westminster, B.C., native plowed three yards into the end zone for the last score of a heated, see-saw battle between the two teams with the best records in the CFL. http://www.authenticsf49erspro.com/George-kittle-49ers-jersey/ . John Tavares, Thomas Vanek and Kyle Okposo were also being counted on to slow down sizzling Rangers forward Rick Nash. That plan didnt go so well early. CHICAGO -- Brian Campbell wanted to return to Chicago and the Blackhawks were more than willing to welcome him back.The veteran defenseman is back with the team that he helped win the Stanley Cup in 2010, agreeing to a one-year contract on Friday.Its where I wanted to be. Its where my heart was, said Campbell, who lives in the Chicago area with his family. It just makes our lives perfect. Were so ecstatic.The 37-year-old Campbell played in Chicago from 2008 to 2011 and was a key part of a team that brought home the first championship since 1961. The Blackhawks also won titles in 2013 and 2015 with Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane leading the way. But Campbell was gone by then.Campbell spent the past five seasons with the Florida Panthers, appearing in all of the teams 376 regular-season games. He had 28 goals and 147 assists and won the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy in 2011-12 after scoring 53 points (four goals, 49 assists). He was the first defenseman since Red Kelly (1954) to win the award.Campbell had six goals and 25 assists in 82 games last season and led NHL defensemen with a plus-31 plus-minus rating.Brian brings so much to the table, Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman said. His overall game maybe is a little bit underrated. Obviously, hes got great mobility still. Hes always been an offensive player, so he can play on the power play and add offensively. He was relied upon to kill penalties and he can do a lot of things.Toews was clearly glad to have him back, posting on Twitter: Sooouuuup! Happy to have (at)bcampbell-51 back in Chicago. Welcome home.In his first stint with the Blackhawks, Campbell had 19 goals and 98 assists in 215 games. In 43 playoff games for Chicago, he had 14 assists and four goals -- including four assists and a goal during the championship run.Campbell said he could have made more money elsewhere but gave the Blackhawks a discount because it waas the right fit for him on a personal -- as well as professional -- level. Joe Staley Super Bowl Jersey. His wife is from the area. They have two young daughters, and he said he has been welcomed into his neighborhood.I wasnt going to play for league minimum, but I was definitely ready to take a lot less, Campbell said. This morning I had to get up and be comfortable with coming to the rink every day, and Im truly ready to go and compete my hardest for the Blackhawks.While the Blackhawks welcomed back Campbell, forward Andrew Ladd agreed to a seven-year deal with the New York Islanders. Acquired at the trade deadline from Winnipeg, Ladd had eight goals and four assists over 19 games in his second stint in Chicago.Bowman said he does not expect the Blackhawks to make another significant addition. He also confirmed the team has placed defenseman David Rundblad on buyout waivers.I think hes looking to maybe pursue some other opportunities, whether its in the NHL or maybe in Europe, Bowman said. I cant speak for him. But I think hes still a young guy. He wants to get back to playing a lot of hockey, and I know thats the reason that he wanted to go over to Europe midseason. We were willing to honor that request. Were gonna let him find a spot where he knows hes gonna be a regular player, every day, a lot of minutes.The Blackhawks also agreed to one-year contracts with forwards Sam Carrick, Pierre-Cedric Labrie and Spencer Abbott.Carrick, 24, played in three games with the Toronto Maple Leafs last season. The 30-year-old Labrie spent the past two seasons with the Rockford IceHogs, Chicagos American Hockey League affiliate.Abbott, 28, had 14 goals and 21 assists for the Swedish Hockey Leagues Frolunda Indians last season. He played for Rockford during the 2014-15 season. ' ' '
