MIAMI -- Miami Dolphins safety Don Jones was fined an undisclosed amount Sunday and will undergo educational training after sending a negative tweet about Michael Sam, the first openly gay player to be selected in the NFL draft. Shortly after the St. Louis Rams took Sam in the seventh round Saturday, Jones tweeted "OMG" and "Horrible." The tweets were taken down a short time later. Jones apologized for his comments Sunday and described them as inappropriate. The Dolphins said Jones has been excused from all team activities until he completes training related to his comments. "We were disappointed to read Dons tweets," coach Joe Philbin said in a statement. "They were inappropriate and unacceptable, and we regret the negative impact these comments had on such an important weekend for the NFL. We met with Don today about respect, discrimination and judgment. These comments are not consistent with the values and standards of our program." The Dolphins reacted swiftly to Jones comments in the wake of the teams bullying scandal last year, which embarrassed the NFL and prompted a nationwide debate about workplace harassment. Jones said he regretted that his tweets took away from Sams "draft moment." "I remember last year when I was drafted in the seventh round, and all of the emotions and happiness I felt when I received the call that gave me an opportunity to play for an NFL team, and I wish him all the best in his NFL career," Jones said in a statement. "I am committed to represent the values of the Miami Dolphins organization, and appreciate the opportunity I have been given to do so going forward." Jones agent, Chris Martin, could not be reached Sunday for comment. . "I only want to go through this one more time," Crosby said Friday. The 24-year-old captain hasnt played since the symptoms resurfaced following a loss to Boston on Dec. 5. Doctors allowed him to return to full practice on Tuesday and while Crosby is pleased with the way his body is responding he refuses to put on his return. .J.

LOUIS -- The Atlanta Braves used a two-run rally in the ninth to end their road trip with a win. . The first of the three games will be played in Week 4, when the Oakland Raiders will take on the Miami Dolphins on Sept.Orlando, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - Tobias Harris scored 19 points, Kyle OQuinn and Nikola Vucevic each recorded double-doubles, and the Orlando Magic fended off the Boston Celtics, 100-95, on Tuesday. The Magic won despite nearly blowing a 27-point lead in the fourth quarter. They were held to 15 points over the last 10 minutes, but did just enough to snap a four-game slide. OQuinn and Vucevic each provided 18 points and combined for 25 rebounds. Tyler Zeller scored 22 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to pace the Celtics, who have dropped two in a row on the heels of a three-game winning streak. Jameer Nelson, playing his first game as a visitor in Orlando, finished with nine points and 11 assists and was vital in Bostons near comeback. Nelson made a 3-pointer and assisted on five other baskets during a 27-3 run that trimmed a 27-point deficit down to three, 90-87, coming down the stretch. His pinpoint, left-handed dish to a cutting Zeller led to a layup and pulled the Celtics within 90-84, and the Magic called a momentum-killing timeout with 2:34 left after Kelly Olynyk made a 3-pointer in transition. Harris, who was questionable with a finger injury coming in, spun in a tough fadeaway in the lane coming out of the break, and OQuinn made two from the foul line the next time down for a 94-87 Magic lead.dddddddddddd Orlando missed three free throws in the final 37.3 seconds, but nonetheless came away victorious. The Celtics first quarter was summed up when they forced a turnover and had numbers going the other way. Evan Turner coughed the ball up at midcourt, and Vucevic threw down an alley-oop dunk at the other end. The sequence was part of a 20-4 run to open the game, and the Celtics wound up scoring an embarrassing nine points in the first quarter on 2-of-22 (9.1 percent) shooting. An Evan Fournier runner four minutes into the second stretched Orlandos lead to 40-15, and it was a 53-30 spread at the break. The lead never dipped below 19 in the third quarter. Game Notes Nelson spent the first 10 years of his career in Orlando and signed with the Mavericks in the offseason. The veteran was part of the deal that sent Rajon Rondo to Dallas last week ... The Celtics beat the Magic by 17 in Boston last Wednesday ... Olynyk totaled 14 points off the bench for the Celtics, who also received 20 points from Avery Bradley. ' ' ' |
