NEW YORK -- Now that theyre no longer receiving awards, Mariano Rivera and Trevor Hoffman are getting their names on some. Tyler Myers Jersey . Major League Baseball said Wednesday it created a "Mariano Rivera American League Reliever of the Year Award" and a "Trevor Hoffman National League Reliever of the Year Award." Rivera, a 13-time All-Star, retired after last season with a record 652 saves. Hoffman, a seven-time All-Star, retired after the 2010 season and is second with 601 saves. Both spent their entire careers in one league. The new honours replaces MLBs "Delivery Man of the Year Award," which was given to one winner annually from 2005-13. It will be voted on by nine retired relievers, with Rivera and Hoffman joined by Hall of Famers Dennis Eckersley, Rollie Fingers, Rich Gossage and Bruce Sutter along with Lee Smith, John Franco and Billy Wagner. Bryan Little Jersey . Sterling was banned for life and fined US$2.5 million by the NBA on Tuesday for racist comments the league says he made in a recorded conversation. Nash, who plays for the rival L.A. Lakers, spoke as a representative of current NBA players at a press conference assembled by Sacramento mayor and National Basketball Players Association adviser Kevin Johnson. Tobias Enstrom Jersey . It certainly isnt a coincidence that Dwight Howard has scored at least 20 points in each game of the winning streak. http://www.hockeyjetsauthority.com/dustin-byfuglien-jets-jersey-c-4/ . Osmond, of Marystown, N.L., fell in the middle of her routine and placed fifth in the ladies free skate at Iceberg Skating Palace (110.73 points), but that was all the Canadians needed after a strong performance by Kevin Reynolds in the mens free earlier Sunday.ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. - It didnt take quarterback Kyle Orton long to make a distinct impression in his first practice as the Buffalo Bills starter on Wednesday.Its not so much different, because hes doing the same thing, its just the balls coming out a little bit quicker, second-year receiver Robert Woods said.He demands what he wants out of us, added receiver Sammy Watkins, the rookie first-round draft pick. The way he talks, the way he handles business, the way he looks at plays and breaks down defences is kind of different than EJ.Watkins was referring to EJ Manuel, the second-year starter who was benched on Monday.Its on Orton to provide a spark to whats been a sluggish offence on Sunday, when the Bills (2-2) travel to play the Detroit Lions (3-1).Im happy to be here, Orton said. Im excited for the opportunity that I have, and cant wait to play on Sunday.Orton has enjoyed a quick ascendance in Buffalo since agreeing a two-year, $7.9 million contract on Aug. 29.Before that, he was spending time at home in Texas focusing on being a family man after getting cut by the Dallas Cowboys in mid-July.It was so long ago, Orton said, declining to say whether he had been contemplating retirement.And forget asking the 10-year journeyman a€” now playing for his fourth team in four years a€” whether the game at Detroit represents yet another chance to re-establish himself.Thats a bad way to look at it if youre looking into the future, Orton said. Weve got one game to win, and were going to do all that we can to win that one game.For now, Orton represents the short-term future for the Bills, who have reached an early season crossroad. Theyre coming off two straight losses, and switching course for the third time in five seasons at a quarterback position thats been mostly unsettled since Hall of Famer Jim Kelly retired after the 1996 season.The latest change was prompted after Manuel was hesitant and erratic in a 23-17 loss at Houston on Sunday.The turning point came on the Bills first possession off the second half. Matt Hendricks Jersey. Facing third-and-3 at the Texans 12, Manuels short pass was intercepted by J.J. Watt and returned 80 yards for a touchdown that put Houston ahead 14-10.Manuel finished 21 of 44 for 225 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions.We took a step back with EJ, coach Doug Marrone said, Wednesday. At the end of the day, my responsibility is to make sure we put this team in a position to win. So I did what I thought ... in my heart and my mind was the best thing.Marrone placed his faith in Orton because of the quarterbacks experience and how hes looked in practice. Marrone doesnt expect rust to be a factor for a quarterback who was cut by the Cowboys after he failed to attend any of the teams off-season workouts.Ortons last start was Dec. 29, in a 24-22 loss to Philadelphia that ended the Cowboys chances of making the playoffs. Dallas was moving into field-goal position with 1:49 remaining, when Orton threw a game-deciding interception.Selected in the fourth round by Chicago in 2005, Orton has a 35-35 record, but has won just eight of his past 31 starts. Orton has also spent time in Denver, and appeared in four games with Kansas City before spending the past two years serving as Tony Romos backup in Dallas.Orton said hes comfortable with the Bills offence, and doesnt believe the playbook needs to be limited.He is also spending time building a rapport with offensive co-ordinator Nathaniel Hackett. The Bills stretching period wasnt yet over, when Orton got up and had a brief discussion with Hackett. The two talked again several times in between plays.Hes trying to get a feel for me a little bit, and obviously, as a quarterback, youd love to have a great feel for your co-ordinator, Orton said. Really, the last 48 hours weve been working hard together.He also spoke highly of Manuel.Ive been there, and EJs going to be a great quarterback, Orton said. Hes got a long time to grow.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
