JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan has kept a fairly low profile around the team.He got more involved than usual after one of the most embarrassing losses in coach Gus Bradleys four-year tenure.Khan made a rare appearance in front of the team Monday night, a day after a 33-16 loss to Oakland, several people familiar with the situation said. They said Khans message was why are we not winning and what can we do to fix it? The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday because details of the meeting have not been disclosed.The owners open forum allowed players and coaches to ask questions and exchange thoughts about whats gone wrong for a team that was expected to make a significant jump this season, the people said.The Jaguars (2-4) play at Tennessee (3-4) on Thursday night.Players and coaches insist what happened against Oakland was a fluke. The Jaguars had a late-game meltdown in the 33-16 loss Sunday. Receiver Marqise Lee was flagged for using a racial slur. Defensive tackle Malik Jackson was ejected after picking up two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, including one for using abusive language toward an official. And cornerback Jalen Ramsey was tossed for fighting. Throw in defensive lapses, dropped passes, the teams inability to run the ball and Blake Bortles continued inaccuracy, indecision and inconsistency, and the Jaguars looked like a team on the verge of spiraling out of control.Khan noticed, and wanted to help.It was an unusual move for the billionaire owner who doesnt live in Jacksonville and hasnt been known to meddle.Nonetheless, it was the second time in less than a month he spoke to the Jags. He addressed players and coaches before their annual game in London earlier this month, pointing out that despite a 0-3 start they had a chance to show the world they trusted and believed in what was going on in Jacksonville. He asked for a repeat of Wembley, and the Jaguars delivered.They beat Indianapolis 30-27 for their second straight win across the pond.The Jags now have a chance Thursday to improve to 2-0 after Khan talks.Regardless, Khans increased presence raises questions about whether hes trying to garner information on the current coaching situation. The Jaguars are 14-40 under Bradley, the second worst winning percentage for any coach in NFL history with at least 50 games of experience. Only Bert Bell (Philadelphia, Pittsburgh) fared worse, and he also was the owner.Khan has spent millions improving the game-day atmosphere in Jacksonville, working with the city to install the worlds largest scoreboards, revamp club seating and break ground on an indoor practice facility that will connect to an amphitheater.Hes spent even more to upgrade the roster, including a defensive overhaul the last two seasons that had paid small dividends. Wins remain few and far between, though.Khan said earlier this year that a winning record is everybodys reasonable expectation at this point .The Jaguars need to go 7-3 the rest of the way to make that happen, and they play four of the next five on the road.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Padres Jerseys .

Padres Jerseys 2020 . -- Stanford squashed Oregons national championship hopes again, schooling the Ducks in power football.CLEVELAND -- A long night at the ballpark left the Cleveland Indians weary and drenched. A solution, however, was easy to find. "Everybodys tired," joked Indians manager Terry Francona. "Its amazing...show up, have 12 pieces of bacon and a Red Bull and go get em." While the pregame meal may have played a factor in Saturdays 5-0 win over Tampa Bay, the Indians found other reasons that led to their success. Ubaldo Jimenez pitched eight scoreless innings while Jason Giambi and Asdrubal Cabrera hit two-run homers in the game that began about 10 hours following the conclusion of Friday nights contest that ended at 2:53 a.m. on Saturday after nearly five hours of rain delays. Despite his big day, which included and RBI single in the third, Giambi admitted he was exhausted. "Im delirious right now," he said. "I feel like Pinocchio with no strings. My last two at-bats I thought about bunting because of the bat speed that I have, but then I said, I have to run. I was done." Jimenez (4-3) gave the Indians exactly what they needed. The right-hander allowed four hits and struck out seven in stopping Tampa Bays six-game winning streak. The Rays, who rolled to a 9-2 win earlier Saturday morning, had only two runners reach second base. "On a day where the only two people probably out there who werent tired were the starting pitchers, he gave us every bit what we needed," Francona said. Giambi homered in his third straight game to give the Indians a 2-0 lead in the second. He added an RBI single in third while Cabreras two-run blast came in the fifth. Tampa Bay right-hander Chris Archer (0-1), called up from Triple A-Durham before the game, allowed five runs in four innings. He faced three batters in the fifth and was pulled after Nick Swisher lined a single off his glove following Cabreras home run. The force of the blow knocked Archer to the ground. He was uninjured but was removed by manager Joe Maddon. No one could blame either team for feeling tired after a long night at the ballpark Friday when three rain delays totalling 4:49 pushed a game that began on the last day of May into the early hours of the first day in June. Neither team took batting practice on the field Saturday for the game that began at 1:05 p.m. "Its part of the job," Swisher said. "Its what we get paid to do. We were here early this morning. Guys were pumped up. We had the music blasting. We needed a win like this, especially with the way early this morning ended." Maddon admitted his team was dragging a bit. "Our guys legitimately were tired today and I dont blame them," he said. &"I really respected their effort today.dddddddddddd It was a tough day to come back and play this game. Well get a good nights sleep and come back and do well tomorrow." Jimenez, winning for the first time since May 11, came within three outs of his fourth career complete game shutout and first since 2011 while pitching for Colorado. Desmond Jennings seventh-inning double was the only hit he allowed that left the infield. The only walk Jimenez, who threw 108 pitches, gave up was to Matt Joyce leading off the game. "I felt really good," said Jimenez, who had his longest outing of the season. "The guys had a crazy game last night after waiting for so long to play." "The biggest guy was Ubaldo," Giambi said. "He was the guy who made it all happen." Vinnie Pestano pitched the ninth for Clevelands eighth shutout of the season. After being held to one hit by four pitchers in Fridays marathon, the Indians woke up against Archer. Swisher drew a leadoff walk in the second before Giambi homered to right on a 2-1 pitch. The veteran slugger also hit a pinch-hit home run Monday against Cincinnati and added a three-run homer against the Reds on Wednesday. The 42-year-old Giambi, signed to a minor league contract in February, singled home Jason Kipnis in the third. Kipnis started the rally with a one-out double. Giambi has five homers and 19 RBIs in 69 at-bats for the season. Kipnis also started the fifth-inning rally with a leadoff single and scored when Cabrera hit an 0-1 pitch to right for his fifth homer of the season. Archer, the Indians fifth-round selection in 2006, gave up seven hits, struck out four and walked three. NOTES: Fridays lengthy game forced both teams to makes roster moves with their pitching staffs. The Indians optioned LHP Scott Barnes to Triple-A Columbus and recalled RHP Ryan Langewell from Columbus. Barnes was the losing pitcher Friday, allowing five runs in one inning. ... The Rays optioned LHP Jeff Beliveau to Durham to open a roster spot for Archer. RHP Josh Lueke, who pitched two innings Friday, was also optioned to Durham while LHP Alex Torres was recalled from the same club. Torres allowed one hit in four scoreless innings Saturday. ... Fridays one-hitter was the 10th in Rays history and the second involving four or more pitchers. ... Tampa Bay LHP Matt Moore, who started Fridays game but only pitched the first inning because of the rain delays, is scheduled to start Thursday in Detroit but that could be pushed up a day or two. ... Rays RHP Jeremy Hellickson (2-2) is scheduled to start Sundays series finale against RHP Zach McAllister (4-4). ' ' '
