Columbus Blue Jackets defenceman Jack Johnson has joined his fellow NHLPA members in voicing his displeasure at the NHL lockout, taking aim at the leagues owners for the way theyre treating the players. "The concept that the owners are trying to dismantle existing contracts that they in good faith offered, signed, and committed to is appalling, unprofessional, and disgraceful," Johnson wrote in his blog at jackjohnson3.com. "I negotiated my own contract, without an agent, with the confidence and belief that the owner offering me that contract operated by the same convictions and principals (sic) as I do. During the summer, the players offered to play through negotiations and the owners locked us out. We want to play hockey! Where is the honor? Im ready to play and uphold my end of the deal!" Johnson, 25, was acquired by the Blue Jackets in a trade for Jeff Carter last season, just one year after signing a seven-year contract extension with the Los Angeles Kings. In 364 NHL games, Johnson has 34 goals, 104 assists and 271 penalty minutes. "I want to work," read the blog. "Im a professional athlete and I want to play hockey! In my chosen profession, I dont have until I am 60 or 70 years old to do this job. My window of opportunity to play professional hockey is limited. If Im lucky, I can play until Im 40. "I have been training as a hockey player my entire life, and I know it is a privilege to play in the NHL. So each month, each week, and each game that is cancelled is an opportunity I will never get back." Johnson isnt the first player to criticize ownership during the work stoppage. On Sunday, Minnesota Wild defenceman Ryan Suter backtracked from comments he made last week to ESPN.com that insinuated he felt Wild owner Craig Leipold negotiated contracts with him and Zach Parise in bad faith with knowledge that the NHL would try to reduce player salaries during negotiations. "I know theyre good people," Suter said of Leipold and GM Chuck Fletcher to The Minneapolis Star Tribune. "And I know they wouldnt negotiate thinking, OK, lets give them this because itll end up being this." Michael Jordan Womens Jersey .

Michael Jordan Bulls Jersey .S. -- Vince Hinostroza scored twice and added two assists as the United States scored four unanswered goals on Sunday to beat Canada West 6-3 and win the World Junior A Challenge for the fourth time in five years.NEW YORK -- LSU was a unanimous No. 1 in The Associated Press college football poll, marking the first time since 2008 a team has received all the first-place votes during the regular season. The Tigers (10-0), who have been No. 1 since Sept. 25, received all 60 first-place votes from the media panel in the rankings released Sunday. The last unanimous top-ranked team in the regular season was Texas on Oct. 26, 2008. Oklahoma State (10-0) was No. 2 for the second straight week, but the rest of the top five was scrambled a bit after Boise State and Stanford lost for the first time. Alabama moved up to No. 3, Oregon jumped two spots to No. 4 and Oklahoma moved to No. 5. LSU had been sharing first-place votes for the last month and a half with Alabama, Oklahoma and Boise State. But as those teams each took a loss, the Tigers picked up support. Boise State was the only team other than LSU receiving a first-place vote last week, but after TCU upset the Broncos 36-35 at home on Saturday, the Tigers made a clean sweep. No. 8 Stanford, which lost 53-30 at home to Oregon,, and No.dddddddddddd 10 Boise State each fell five spots this week. The rest of the top 10 had Arkansas at No. 6, Clemson at No. 7 and Virginia Tech at No. 9. The only other undefeated major college team, Houston from Conference USA, was No. 11. No. 21 Penn State fell nine spots after it lost its first game following the firing of coach Joe Paterno, 17-14 at home to No. 17 Nebraska. Four teams dropped out of the rankings after losses: Cincinnati, Auburn, Texas and Georgia Tech. Cincinnati dropping out leaves the Big East with no ranked teams this week. The teams entering the rankings this week were No. 19 TCU, No. 23 Florida State, No. 24 Notre Dame and No. 25 Baylor. All had been previously ranked earlier in the season. Michigan State is No. 12, followed by Georgia, South Carolina and Wisconsin. No. 16 Kansas State, Nebraska, Southern California, TCU and Michigan round out the top 20. Penn State and No. 22 Southern Miss are in the final five, along with three of the newcomers. The Big Ten and SEC have the most ranked teams with five each. ' ' '
