BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The NFL is re-evaluating its scheduling process in a bid to avoid the short turnaround of having teams playing on Sunday night and then travel to play on Thursday, Troy Vincent told The Associated Press.Thats tough, and well have to look at that, the leagues vice president of football operations said during a visit to Buffalo on Thursday. Ideally, thats not something that we would like to have.Vincent was referring to last month, when Washington beat Green Bay in a prime-time game on Nov. 20, and then lost a late afternoon game at Dallas four days later.He said the league prefers that both teams playing on Thursday would be scheduled to play early Sunday afternoon games the previous weekend.Vincent said the issue is on the leagues agenda and has also been raised with the NFLs senior vice president of broadcasting Howard Katz, who oversees the schedule.Thats welcome news to Washington coach Jay Gruden, who called it a no-brainer, when informed of Vincents comments.The recovery time for these players after a physical football game needs to be more than what we got. And then you throw a plane ride in on top of it, it makes it pretty difficult, Gruden told The AP. It can be done because we did it. But I think the schedule maker should really look at that and not put somebody in that predicament again.Days before the game at Dallas, Gruden called the schedule unfair and said his biggest worry was the health of his teamThe shorter turnaround between games, such as what happened to Washington, is a rare occurrence. It has happened just seven times over the past 11 seasons, and only three of those instances involved a team playing on Sunday night and then again on Thanksgiving.Vincent cited league data in saying there is no indication that injuries have increased involving teams playing on three days rest.Otherwise, Vincent said, the NFL plans to continue playing weekly games on Thursday, with all 32 games being scheduled to play at least once per season.

At a Manhattan federal court hearing, attorney Jordan Siev said his law office has gotten more evidence nearly every day to support its lawsuit accusing MLB and Selig of going on a "witch hunt" to ruin Rodriguezs reputation and career.

Radwanska, making her debut in the Seoul tournament, hit eight aces in a match that lasted 1 hour, 4 minutes at Olympic Park tennis stadium. "It was definitely a very good match -- I was playing really good tennis," Radwanska said. Linval Joseph Jersey . 10 VCU 85-67 on Thursday night at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off. The Seminoles (4-0) have scored at least 80 points in each of their games. Jalyn Holmes Jersey . -- Claudio Bieler hadnt scored since early September, and not from the run of play since mid-July. NASSAU, Bahamas -- It started with a victory at home in the Japan Open. It ended with another trophy in the Bahamas against a short but strong field.Five tournaments. Four victories.The way Hideki Matsuyama is playing, he might wish the Masters started next week.Or maybe not.Im kind of glad its not, he said with a broad smile, because I dont think I could win next week.Winning must be exhausting for the 24-year-old Japanese star, and no one has been more proficient at it over the last two months. Even more alarming is that Matsuyama is making it look easy, although getting through the final nine holes at the Hero World Challenge felt as heavy as walking through the beach sand of the Bahamas.Coming off seven-shot victories in the HSBC Champions and the Taiheiyo Masters, he had a seven-shot lead over Henrik Stenson going into the final round at Albany Golf Club. Matsuyama didnt make another birdie after the ninth hole, and his lead was reduced to two shots with two holes to play when he closed with two pars for a 1-over 73 and a two-shot victory.I cant say that I played well today, he said. But I did win Tigers tournament, and what a great honor it is.Matsuyama said Tiger Woods has been his golfing idol as long as he can remember, and as much as he enjoyed winning, he was just as happy to see Woods back in competition. Woods led the field with 24 birdies, but six double bogeys contributed to a 15th-place finish in the 17-man field.The first time he heard of Woods was when Matsuyama was 5 and watched video -- over and over and over again, he said -- of Woods winning the 1997 Masters. Three years later, Woods won 10 times around the world, including the final three majors in what is considered his best season.Unfortunately, I wasnt able to see all those wins because they didnt have the broadcast in Japan, Matsuyama said. But I knew Tiger was winning, and I knew he was very good. And I almost expected him to win every tournament.Perhaps he is starting to appreciate what its like to get on a roll.Im not even close to being mentioned in the same sentence as Tiger, he said. But I am working hard, and hopefully, little by little, Ill get better and better.Matsuyama isnt the first player to get on a hot streak. Last year, Jason Day won four out off six tournaments against the strongest competition in the world, including the PGA Championship and a pair of FedEx Cup playoff events.ddddddddddddMatsuyama now has 12 victories worldwide, and while he became the first Asian to win a World Golf Championships title, a major is where players are measured.Youve got to do it in the big events in the summer, too, Woods said. So its going to give him a boat load of confidence going into next year and hes going to be one of the top guys to beat for a very long time. Look at his swing, look at his game and look at the body that he has. Its built to handle the test of time.Matsuyama hasnt finished out of the top five since the Tour Championship, and while he cant explain why he keeps winning, this recent run likely dates to the Deutsche Bank Championship. It was there that Hiroshi Iwata suggested a drill for his putting, which has held Matsuyama back.Iwata introduced him to the Pelz Putting Tutor, a small metal plate with two tiny steel balls at the end that are set apart just over the width of a golf ball. It is designed to help players line up putts and with their stroke.Iwatas drill is to make 10 short putts in a row with a conventional grip, using only the left hand and only the right hand.Perhaps it helped this week that Matsuyamas caddie, Daisuke Shindo, wanted the week off. So he borrowed Iwatas caddie, Mei Inui. Not only does she know the drill, she managed to keep Matsuyama calm when his lead was slipping away.When things get tough, I sometimes put my head down and become quiet, he said. But Mei was always positive throughout, even the back nine, and was giving me good vibes, which really helped coming in.Matsuyama, who now lives primarily in Orlando, Florida, is headed home for Japan to spend time with his family. Hes worked hard. Hes won plenty. He could probably use a break, but it wont be for long. He wants to keep this going into the new year, which starts Jan. 5 in Hawaii. And hes already thinking about the Masters.I think hell be a major champion within the next couple of years, personally, Jordan Spieth said. Its awesome to see him tearing it up here.
