Michael Cheika will not be gagged, refusing to back down on Sunday after All Blacks coach Steve Hansen had accused his Wallabies counterpart of hijacking New Zealands Test world record celebrations.In a sensational aftermath to Saturday nights Bledisloe Cup series finale in Auckland, Cheika took aim at the New Zealand media after being depicted as a clown and then claimed the All Blacks did not respect the Wallabies, suggesting they were involved in the media caricature.Seething after being portrayed on the match morning as an angry clown complete with red nose in a cartoon headlined send in the clowns in the countrys biggest-selling newspaper, the New Zealand Herald, Cheika let rip in an extraordinary rant after Australias 37-10 loss at Eden Park.Hansen said later that Cheika needed to be bigger than to take a newspapers barb to heart, and said it was wrong to suggest the All Blacks could dictate what the media did.But Cheika was still stewing upon his arrival back at Sydney airport 12 hours later.Why would you let the opposition call your team clowns and mock the jersey, he said.Thats how I feel about it.Maybe others dont. Maybe thats not the way. But Ive never had an Australian jersey so I think its something that should be treasured.Were going there for a good contest and I think [the All Blacks] are connected to [the caricature] obviously because they are talking about it. Thats my opinion and Im entitled to voice my opinion, right or wrong.Cheika was also upset that he did not receive an invitation into the triumphant dressing room after the All Blacks chalked up their unprecedented 18th consecutive tier-one Test match win.He said that the Sydney bugging saga had been the spark that had set him off, saying he was deeply offended by any inference the Wallabies camp had been in any way involved in the scandal.Cheika remains furious the bugging report came out on the day of the first Bledisloe Test match in Sydney, after All Blacks management had alerted police about finding an electronic listening device in a team room early in the week.I dont want to keep going over the same points, but that [NZ Herald] is obviously their go-to paper, Cheika said on Sunday.The whole bug thing came out from there.We had policemen in our offices asking us questions, asking our management questions. Thats serious stuff to be accusing people of, and its not true.Thats their go-to. Nothing happens without that connection.Thats my point of view. They dont have to agree with it. Im not asking them to agree with it. Youth James Washington Jersey . Most important, perhaps, it went off without a hitch. Organizers poked a little fun at the now-infamous opening ceremony gaffe that saw only four out of five snowflakes open up into rings, leaving the Olympics logo one ring short. Youth Mason Rudolph Jersey . They had already blown a double-digit lead, fans were hitting the exits, and a long seven-game road trip waited at the end. http://www.wholesalepittsburghsteelersjerseys.com/ . Jim Rutherford, President and General Manager of the Carolina Hurricanes, announced Wednesday that the team would assign Swedish forward Elias Lindholm to his nations team for the upcoming tournament. Youth Jaylen Samuels Jersey .J. -- Marshawn Lynch said Thursday it will be good to get back to football after the Seattle quiet talking running back wrapped up his final mandatory media session of Super Bowl week. Cheap Steelers Jerseys For Sale . -- Nate Robinson has played for seven teams, so beating one of them is no longer a rare occurrence. CHICAGO -- With a mix of euphoria, relief and disbelief, long-suffering Chicago Cubs fans are shaking off superstitions and setting their sights on the teams first World Series in 71 years.Loyal fans as far south as San Antonio, Texas, and as far west as Washington state restructured their worldviews to include the seductive possibility that they wont be disappointed again.For me, personally I had tears in my eyes. Ive seen them come close, said Chicago native Jimmy Tingas, 47, who owns Wrigleyville Grill in San Antonio where he caters to homesick former Chicagoans still craving hot dogs and Italian beef. We have one more task to do. Im confident theyre going to do it.First lady Michelle Obama joined the chorus Sunday morning, congratulating her hometown Cubs a day after the team defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers at Chicagos Wrigley Field in Game 6 of the NL Championship Series.The Chicago native tweeted: Way to go Cubs!! She then recalled her father, saying: My Dad is the reason Im a true Cubs fans. Hed be so proud!Lifelong fan Marilyn Hnatusko wiped away tears after the win Saturday night, recalling other longtime Cubs fans.I thought of all my relatives who didnt see this, my dear Uncle John, and now I cant quite believe it happened, she said.Scattered across the world, Cubs fans make up their own diaspora. Blizzard-hardened folk, their befuddling loyalty encompasses decades of frustration, disillusionment and too many sigh-filled pangs for next year. Many never lived in Chicago, but grew up elsewhere in the nations heartland, listening to games on WGNs powerful AM signal, which could be heard hundreds of miles, especially at night.Theyre often pressed to explain their loyalty. Stephen Kropp, 46, of Mercer Island, Washington, grew up in Chicago and stays true to his Cubs. He and a buddy plan to attend World Series Game 22 in Cleveland dressed as the Blues Brothers.dddddddddddd.Its a huge emotional investment, Kropp said Sunday. Its dumping all these emotions into something that never gives you anything back. Hanging out at Wrigley, having a beer and knowing youll never get to the promised land. These fans have more credibility (than other teams) to say theyre the best fans in baseball.A Midwestern impulse toward redemption is welling up on social media with a ForgiveBartman hashtag campaign pulling for Steve Bartman to throw out the first pitch when the World Series returns to Wrigley Field.Kropp favors forgiving Bartman, the fan whose interference with a foul ball in the 2003 playoffs added to the sense of a hovering curse. But they should seat him five rows back or higher, just in case, Kropp said.Restaurant owner Tingas, too, is having some trouble letting go of some traditional Cubs beliefs, like the infamous billy goat curse: When we win the World Series were going to have roasted goat, Ill tell you that.Steve Zucker, whos been coming to games since the 1940s, said before Saturdays game that if the Cubs won, he would go to his fathers grave and leave a Cubs hat and T-shirt.My dad died playing cards, listening to the game on a little transistor radio, so I may bring that, too, Zucker said. Before this year, I never thought I would see this.Cubs All-Star first baseman Anthony Rizzo said the fans deserved to see this team make the World Series.These fans have been amazing since the time I got here, Rizzo said. We got four more big ones to go, but were going to enjoy this.Chicago faces the Cleveland Indians in Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday.---AP writer Don Babwin in Chicago contributed to this report.
