Bears sign receiver Victor Cruz to a one-year contract.

The Bears’ continued attempts to energize a reshuffling offense continued Thursday when the team agreed to a one-year contract with veteran receiver Victor Cruz.

The signing comes as the team continues through its three-week stretch of organized team activities in Lake Forest. Cruz’s arrival comes after the 30-year-old receiver spent his first seven seasons with the Giants. From 2011-13, Cruz averaged 80 catches, 1,209 yards and eight touchdowns per season.

But he was then slowed significantly by injuries, missing a total of 26 games over the next two seasons.

Manchester United vs. Ajax UEFA Europa League Final Results/Highlights | May 24, 2017

Make Manchester proud. And Manchester United did just that to win the Europa League, to close the circle on trophies claimed in their history, and to return to the Champions League. This was also a tiny slice of defiant joy after the trauma and horror of two nights ago back in Manchester. This was one for the city – as Manchester City tweeted at the final whistle “#ACityUnited”. That was a classy touch.

And “Manchester” was the raucous, unbridled release of a chant throughout and at the end from the United fans banked up in this arena as their team took control of the encounter. 

Jose Mourinho, that serial trophy hunter, won his 12th final from the 14 he has contested. Tactically, it was textbook Mourinho.

Welcome back to the Champions League – and straight into the group stages – for United. And welcome back for Mourinho who became the first manager to win the Champions League and the Europa League twice. He has won all four finals in European competition that he has contested. He raised four fingers in celebration.

And how he celebrated. How he likes to make his point. He appeared taut, insistent, as he raised his finger to the stands – still No 1 or making a point? – and then tumbled to the turf unbalanced as his son Jose Jnr jumped into his arms. He later stood on his own, arms outstretched, before the United fans and went up first to kiss the trophy.

Boston Celtics Vs Cleveland Cavaliers Game 4 Results/Highlights | May 23, 2017

The Cleveland Cavaliers used a second-half surge to pull away and defeat the Boston Celtics 112-99 in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals Tuesday.

Kyrie Irving took over in the second half and finished with 42 points, LeBron James added 34 and the Cleveland Cavaliers moved within one win of an almost inevitable third date in the Finals with Golden State.

Irving stayed on the floor despite rolling his left ankle in the third quarter, when he scored 19 in less than five minutes, and James shook off early foul trouble as the Cavs opened a 3-1 lead in the series.

The defending NBA champions can wrap up their third straight conference title -- and a "three-match" against the Warriors -- with a win in Game 5 on Thursday night in Boston.

But if Games 3 and 4 are any indication, it won't be easy.

Fighting to keep their season alive, the Celtics aren't giving an inch despite playing without All-Star guard Isaiah Thomas, who may need surgery on a hip injury.

The Cavs, meanwhile, wouldn't be on the cusp of the Finals without Irving.

With Cleveland in jeopardy of dropping its second game in a row after James followed an 11-point Game 3 by picking up four first-half fouls, Irving put on a breathtaking one-man show in the third quarter.

Pittsburgh Penguins Vs Ottawa Senators Results/Highlights | May 23, 2017

http://freeplusshippingonly.com/

If you didn’t know that the Stanley Cup Playoffs can be awfully cruel, then the last week or so of action should make it pretty clear.

The Nashville Predators lost top center Ryan Johansen to a scary ailment few would have seen coming. The Anaheim Ducks fell in both games to the Johansen-less Predators, even after dominating significant chunks of Game 6. At least one Ducks player wondered if the better team won.

Much like in life, “fair” and “deserve” only matter so much. Sports have a scoreboard to serve as the ultimate deciding factor.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have similar thoughts after falling 2-1 to the Ottawa Senators tonight, extending the Eastern Conference Final to a decisive Game 7. You can nitpick questionable penalties and missed chances, but really, how negative can you be after Craig Anderson puts forth a blazing 45-save performance (with no overtime)?

Mike Sullivan and others echoed such thoughts.

” … Obviously, we’re disappointed in the result, but I don’t think we can get discouraged by that,” Sullivan said. “I think we’ve got to take the positives from it, and we’ve got to build on it, and we’ve got to become a more determined team for Game 7.

That’s not the sort of take that’s going to make the Senators angry in Game 7. The tone of the Senators’ discussions was likely very different after they lost Game 5 by a 7-0 score, yet maybe there was similar self-belief.
