NEW ORLEANS -- Bill Parcells was a winner everywhere he coached. Time and time again, he took over struggling franchises and showed them what it takes to be a success, including a pair of Super Bowl titles with the New York Giants. Parcells pulled off another victory Saturday -- election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Getting in on his fourth try, Parcells led an induction class that also included mouthy defensive lineman Warren Sapp, prolific receiver Cris Carter and a pair of stalwarts from the trenches, offensive linemen Jonathan Ogden and Larry Allen. The class of 2013 also included a pair of senior selections, Curley Culp and Dave Robinson. The announcement was made in New Orleans, site of Sundays Super Bowl. Almost as noteworthy were the finalists who didnt get in, including running back Jerome Bettis and owners Art Modell and Edward DeBartolo Jr. Players and coaches from the Baltimore Ravens, who will face the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl, spent all week lobbying for Modell, their former owner who died last year, to claim a place in the hall. It didnt work out, no doubt pleasing fans in Cleveland who remain bitter about Modell moving the original Browns to Baltimore. Parcells had to wait a while, earning a bust in Canton on his fourth try. He thought he might get in the previous year in tandem with one of his former players, Curtis Martin. "It was a little less stressful than last year," Parcells said in a telephone interview from Florida. "I was kind of hoping we could do it together, but as fate would have it, it didnt work out." Giants president and CEO John Mara said Parcells selection for the hall was "long overdue," but his candidacy stirred plenty of debate -- a one-hour discussion among the selection committee members, by far the longest amount of time dedicated to any finalist. "Hes one of the best coaches in NFL history," Mara said. "He turned our franchise around. We went through a long period in the 1960s and 70s when we were a laughingstock. When Bill took over in 1983, he survived a very difficult first year, but then turned us into a perennial playoff contender and won two Super Bowls for us. He coached three other teams and everywhere he went, he had great success." No one was more emotional than Carter, who took six years to get in despite putting up some of the best receiving numbers in NFL history. He broke down in tears but quickly pointed out "its not because Im sad." "This is the happiest day of my life," he said. "When people said, Aw, you know, it really doesnt matter, youre a Hall of Famer in my eyes, I said, Its more important that Im a Hall of Famer in the Halls eyes. And I really, really wanted this. " Sapp said his stomach was churning all day. He doesnt have to fret anymore. Next stop, Canton. "My feet havent touched the ground in about 30 minutes," Sapp said. "This is unbelievable." In addition to Bettis, four other players failed to get in on the final vote: Charles Haley, Andre Reed, Michael Strahan and Aeneas Williams. Earlier in the day, the selection committee eliminated DeBartolo and Modell, as well as ex-players Tim Brown, Kevin Greene and Will Shields. Parcells reversed the fortunes of four teams, also coaching the New England Patriots, New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys, during 19 years as a head coach. He finished with a record of 172-130-1, most notably leading the Giants to Super Bowl titles in 1987 and 1991. He led the Patriots to the Super Bowl after the 1996 season. Patriots owner Robert Kraft saluted Parcells election. "It is well deserved," he said in a statement released by the team. "As a Patriots fan, I will always appreciate the credibility he brought to our franchise as a two-time Super Bowl champion. We had never had a head coach with those credentials. I am very happy for Bill and look forward to his enshrinement ceremonies." Jets owner Woody Johnson echoed Kraft. "Bill Parcells infused new life into this franchise on many levels," he said. "From acquiring players like Curtis Martin to bringing back a winning culture, we will always be grateful to Bill for his contributions to the New York Jets." Sapp got in on his first year of eligibility after playing 13 seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Oakland Raiders. He amassed 96 1/2 career sacks despite playing on the interior of the defensive line, including double-digit sack totals in four seasons. He was the 1999 NFL Defensive Player of the Year after helping Tampa Bay claim its first division title in 18 years. Carter played 16 seasons, becoming only the second player in NFL history to reach 1,000 receptions in a career. He caught at least 70 passes in 10 seasons, and totalled 130 touchdown receptions from 13 passers. Allen played 203 games over 14 seasons, spending the bulk of his career with the Cowboys. He played every position on the offensive line except centre and was a first-team All-Pro seven straight seasons. Ogden played a dozen seasons with the Ravens, a lineman who led the way for Jamal Lewis to become just the fifth running back in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season. Ogden was a six-time All-Pro and was voted to 11 Pro Bowls. Like Sapp, Allen and Ogden were first-year selections. Ogden shared the moment with his family. He called his mother "first thing," and also told his 7-year-old son. "Hes real proud of his dad," Ogden said. He watched nervously as the announcement was made on the Class of 2013. "Its like going to the hospital with your wife to have a baby. You cant do anything about it," Ogden said. "You hear everybody say youre a first ballot for sure, but you never really know. A lot of good well deserving guys didnt get in on the first ballot." "When I got drafted (by Dallas), theyd just won a Super Bowl," Allen said. "When they threw me in, I just didnt want to be the one to mess it up." His philosophy never changed over his long career: make the guy across from him "quit ... tap out." He joins three other players from that great Cowboys offence of the 1990s in the hall, following Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin. "All those guys -- Troy and Mike, Emmitt -- they were kind of like big brothers," Allen said. "I looked up to them. They came to work every day and showed me how to do it. They all wanted to be the best." Culp was a defensive stalwart for the Kansas City Chiefs in the 1960s and 70s, and also played for the Houston Oilers and Detroit Lions. He started at tackle in Kansas Citys Super Bowl win over Vikings in 1970 and was selected to six Pro Bowls. "Curley was a dominating force on the defensive line for the Super Bowl IV championship team and one of many great players that helped build the tradition and foundation of the Kansas City Chiefs," the teams chairman and CEO, Clark Hunt, said in a statement. "We look forward to seeing him take his rightful place in Canton." Robinson played on the powerhouse Green Bay teams of the 1960s, starting at outside linebacker on coach Vince Lombardis two Super Bowl champions. He closed his 12-year career with the Washington Redskins. "He was such a vital part of those great defences in the 1960s," said Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy. "Daves contributions to the Packers have not been limited to the field, as he has also been a great ambassador for the organization over the years. We are thrilled that he received this honour." Robinson was the 22nd member of the Packers to be election to the Hall of Fame. . You can see all the action on TSN beginning at 9pm et/6pm pt.

"Kyrie threw up a bomb, he made a hell of a shot," Torontos Amir Johnson said. NEW YORK -- Adam Jones took the blame. Nope, the triple play in the eighth inning had little to do with the Orioles 5-2 loss to the New York Yankees on Friday might. Jones dropped fly ball that allowed three runs to score in the seventh was Baltimores undoing. "Just missed it," Jones said. "You could say its rain. You could say its cold. You could say anything, wind, you could say whatever you want. I was there. Didnt catch it. Cost my team the game." With the score 2-all, the Yankees had loaded the bases on two walks -- one intentional -- and a hit batter. Vernon Wells hit a long fly ball off Pedro Strop that Jones -- a Gold Glove centre fielder -- ranged back for. On the warning track, Jones turned, raised his glove and blew a pink bubble. He closed his glove a bit early, and the ball bounced away clearing the bases. Baltimore started the eighth with singles by Alexi Casilla and Nick Markakis off CC Sabathia (2-1). Manny Machado then hit a sharp low liner that Robinson Cano caught on a short hop near second base. Cano threw to fill-in shortstop Jayson Nix at second for the forceout. Casilla, thinking the ball was going to be caught by Cano, got trapped in a rundown between second and third base. Youkilis tagged Casillas and made a quick throw to first baseman Lyle Overbay when Machado ranged too far off the bag. Overbay then made an awkward throw to Cano, who tagged Machado, setting off a celebration. "The two lead runners made the right play," Showalter said. "Its a line drive short-hop. You cant go anywhere because if he catches it, then he does get multiple outs. We just made a mistake on the trail runner trying to get a little overaggressive, a young player. But Mannys one of the reasons why we were in that game." Overbay, signed in late March to help fill in for Mark Teixeira, was worried his throw to Cano was going to spoil the play that was scored 4-6-5-6-5-3-4. "Good thing hes got good hand-eye co-ordination," Overbay said. After Cano applied the tag for the third out, he and his teammates high-fived and grinned broadly as they ran off the field. Sabathia thrust his fist in the air. "Thats like being a kid again," Youkilis said. "Thats one of the coolest things Ive ever had on the field. You dont see one written up like that. It was special. This game we play, its one of these games where its a job and its a grind at times. But when stuff like that happens, you feel like youre back playing little league again." The Orioles has not hit into a triple play since April 3, 1996, against Kanas City. The Yankees had last tuurned a triple play on April 22, 2010, at Oakland -- with Sabathia on the mound.dddddddddddd They hadnt accomplished the feat in the Bronx since June 3, 1968, against Minnesota. In the first meeting between the teams since the Yankees eliminated the Orioles in Game 5 of the division series, Sabathia allowed two runs -- one earned -- and eight hits with nine strikeouts and no walks. Mariano Rivera pitched the ninth for his second save. Miguel Gonzalez (1-1) had trouble gripping the ball in the cold and walked five batters. But Showalter was impressed his team stayed in the game. "You can overcome it. It was still just two runs up there. It doesnt mean because you walked more people than you normally do that you concede the game. We didnt. We were right there." Baltimore tied it 2-all when Matt Wieters reached on Youkilis misplay and advanced on Sabathias balk. J.J. Hardy followed with an RBI single. "Made an aggressive mistake," Youkilis said. "You just dont want to give away outs." Youkilis had three hits and an RBI but made an error at third base that led to the tying run in the seventh inning. Youkilis has hit in all nine games hes played with the Yankees. Eduardo Nunez, filling in at shortstop for injured captain Derek Jeter, was hit on his right wrist by a pitch from Gonzalez and left after attempting a warmup throw before the third inning. X-rays were negative. Gonzalez then dropped No. 9 hitter Francisco Cervelli to the dirt in the fifth with a pitch that came close to the catchers head, and the right-hander was booed relentlessly by what remained of the 35,033 fans that withstood the blustery 35-degree wind chill. Cervelli ended up walking and coming around to score -- clapping his hands -- on Canos RBI single to left-centre, his eighth RBI in three games. "Miguel, I dont think he felt the baseball. He didnt really have a feel for his curveball most of the game," Showalter said. "It was frustrating for him, but CC had a good outing, did a lot of things hes been doing for a long time. Hes a pitcher. Miguel gave us a chance to win the game. We were fortunate not to give up more damage than we did." NOTES: Jones snapped his nine-game hitting streak to start the season ...
