PHOENIX - Darrelle Revis long reigned supreme among NFL cornerbacks. Soccer Jerseys .Then came along this upstart Richard Sherman, who proclaimed himself the best and backed it up.Now they get to state their case on the NFLs biggest stage — Revis New England Patriots against Shermans Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl.They have a bit of history, these two — a Twitter feud from a couple of years ago. The gist of it: Revis was the proven pro and Sherman hadnt done enough yet to start crowing.At Tuesdays media day, any animosity was buried. Each expressed respect for the other, although Revis referred to the fact that in Seattles defence, Sherman plays only half the field.Sherman, he plays left corner and he does great, Revis said. Hes great at what he does. Im not really knocking him on what he does. Hes a playmaker and thats what he does for his team.Cornerback, Revis said, is by far the hardest position to play in football.The handful of those who excel at the position may bicker, Sherman said, but they share a common bond.Theres a respect level between elite cornerbacks in the National Football League, he said. It takes a certain mentality to play at a high level in this game, to deal with the pressure, to deal with the intensity of being out there against the best athletes in the world. ... Theres a definite admiration for their ability.Shermans a talker — opinionated, self-assured. He says he cares little what people think of him.It doesnt bother me too much, honestly, he said. I kind of go to the beat of my own drum. ... I have my own way of doing things and it might not align with everybody, but Im going to keep it that way.Sherman stirred up trouble shortly after the Seahawks landed in Arizona, when, referring to the fairness of the investigation into deflated footballs, he noted NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Patriots owner Robert Kraft are good friends.Sherman didnt back down Tuesday, saying that he found their relationship interesting.A small crowd gathered around Revis on media day. Sherman drew a mob, and he reveled in it, answering bizarre questions — such as, what super power would he like to have while playing? (He would fly). He danced with a woman reporter, confidently showing his moves.He said he was sure his girlfriend, due soon to deliver the couples first child, would not have the baby on Super Bowl Sunday.To the young Seattle star, media day was no chore.Sherman earned a Super Bowl ring last year, in his third NFL season. Revis is playing in the big game for the first time in his eight years in the league.For the first six, he played for the New York Jets, becoming Revis Island. Twice he made it to the AFC championship game, but no farther.Revis and the Jets parted ways after an injury-plagued 2012, and he landed with the Patriots, the team he had fought without much success for so long.Its pretty awesome, Revis said. I mean, this is what you play for every year. In the off-season you work hard to get to this point and when you get there, like right now, its so surreal for me.He wouldnt address his future with the team. New England reportedly wants him back, but not on the terms of his existing contract, which would count $25 million on next seasons salary cap. Hes due a $12 million roster bonus on April 1.But for one year, he has been all-in.I think I really embraced it when I sat down with Mr. Kraft and (coach) Bill (Belichick) and we had a one-on-one conversation, Revis said. It was a very chill conversation. ... At that point, I felt very comfortable and wanted to join the team.Sherman said his left elbow, hurt in the NFC championship win over Green Bay, is feeling pretty good.Its been good all week, he said. Im done getting treatment.And he shrugged off cornerback Brandon Browners suggestion that he would tell his New England teammates to break Shermans elbow.I think he was just caught up in the moment, Sherman said. He didnt mean any malice by it. Its one of those things, we know him as a person and sometimes he exaggerates a little bit.Far be it for Sherman, of all people, to be bothered by a pointed remark from a foe.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Offcial Jerseys .com) - Thursday marks the official debut of a new dirt racing surface at Meydan Racecourse. College Jerseys . And it showed Thursday night.

BARCELONA, Spain -- Cristiano Ronaldo scored two long-range goals to help Real Madrid rout Osasuna 4-0 on Saturday and stay in the Spanish league title chase while resting several first-choice players for its European clash at Bayern Munich. With Gareth Bale recovering from the flu and Karim Benzema on the bench, all of Madrids attack went through Ronaldo on the left flank. And the Ballon dOr winner didnt disappoint by unleashing two similar blasts after cutting inside to put the ball on his right boot and lift his league-leading tally to 30 goals through 35 rounds. Madrid provisionally closed to within three points of leader Atletico Madrid before it visits Valencia on Sunday, when Barcelona, one point behind Madrid, hosts Villarreal. Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti also gave valuable rest to defender Pepe and midfielder Xavi Alonso to prepare for its visit to Bayern on Tuesday in the second leg of their Champions League semifinal.

Ronaldo then went to work chalking up his 29th league goal in the sixth minute when he unleashed a trademark blast from outside the area that took a slight deflection off defender Damia Abella before falling just inside the far upright. He looked to get his teammates involved, and set up scoring chances for Sergio Ramos, Marcelo and Alvaro Morata.

NBA Jerseys. "Both goals came at the start of each half and that complicated things for us," Osasuna coach Javi Gracia said. "They are both more merit of Ronaldo than my defences fault. Its true Damia touches the first strike and that gives it an effect, but the second shot is unstoppable." Sergio Ramos headed in a third goal in the 60th and Ronaldo went to the bench seconds later to an ovation from the crowd. Dani Carvajal headed home Isco Alarcons lobbed pass to cap the lopsided victory in the 83rd. Osasuna, which lost Raoul Loe and Emiliano Armenteros to injuries, remained three points above the relegation zone along with Getafe. Forward Adrian Colunga scored what proved to be the winner seven minutes into the game at Getafe from a pass by Ciprian Marica, who left his side a man down from the 37th for a second yellow card. But Malaga couldnt take advantage of the extra man and itself lost a player when Marcos Angeleri was sent off for a second booking in the 76th. "This victory is huge," Getafe coach Cosmin Contra said. "You saw team spirit today. We are still alive." Sociedad added to Betis misery by winning thanks to Carlo Velas 54th-minute penalty kick after Juan Carlos Perez fouled him in the area. Sociedad strengthen its hold on sixth place and cemented its Europa League berth for next season. Rayo rose into ninth place with only one loss in its last 10 matches.
