has the best average finish among drivers on short tracks this y

PITTSBURGH -- Steelers player rep Ramon Foster used the news of LeVeon Bells three-game NFL suspension over missed drug tests as a chance to foreshadow the players bigger fight with the NFL roughly four years from now.There are bigger issues than pot, Foster said.In fact, Foster is urging players to save money now in preparation for a lockout with the NFL over a collective bargaining agreement that will expire after the 2020 season.He said he is disenchanted by several issues with the drug policy, including the image hits NFL players face that players from other sports leagues dont and an appeal process that is often handled by a sole arbitrator, resulting in varied rulings. Bells appeal reduced his suspension from four to three games last week.But insurance, post-career care and revenue are more pressing, which means the players must be willing to sit out games in 2021, Foster said.Hit them in the pocket. That way, money always talks, Foster said. For us to do that, we have to save on our end. We cant be just blowing money and not realize whats coming, especially with guys coming into the league now.In 2011, the Steelers were the only team to vote against the proposed CBA that eventually passed before the season.Foster said players around the league must be more prepared after many faced too much financial debt to potentially miss games nearly six years ago.Its coming. Theyve hired certain people on their legal team, the NFL has, and we have to be the type of players and union thats not borrowing money from banks and stuff like that to survive a lockout, a strike, Foster said. That cant happen this time around. We have to be smarter this time around because there are a lot of things were going to be fighting for and a lot of things they are going to want and were going to want, too.Drug testing has affected the Steelers on-field product. Wide receiver Martavis Bryant is suspended for the season for multiple failed or missed tests, and Bell had to miss up to three tests to earn a three-game ban (reduced from four games upon appeal).Players felt in the dark about Bells looming suspension over the past month. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said we dont always know whats going on with the process, and the NFL often does things that none of us have answers for.The way Foster sees it, other sports leagues keep these player issues in-house, but NFL players are all over ESPN, Fox, the whole nine when one fails a test.Every situation has been different. Not one person has had the same penalty, Foster said about drug testing suspensions and appeals. Its always how the person is feeling whos handing down the execution. It needs to be refined. It cant just go through one person. Jahlani Tavai Jersey .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again. Austin Bryant Womens Jersey .

MARTINSVILLE, Va. -- Joey Logano was initially unrepentant, insistent he had done nothing wrong in a feud with Matt Kenseth that ultimately cost Logano a chance to win his first Cup championship.A year later, Logano has a new perspective about the soap opera that fueled the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. He returns to Martinsville Speedway on Sunday with a maturity about him that could put Logano in position to win that elusive title.I learned some valuable lessons last year, Logano said. I learned a whole new level I didnt even know I had. Now I know how to reach that level mentally inside a racecar to make things happen and be a great leader for my team.Logano was en route to NASCARs championship race last year as perhaps the driver to beat for the title. Hed swept the three-race segment of the second round of the Chase, and was dominating at Martinsville, headed toward a win that would have advanced him to the season finale.Then Kenseth intentionally wrecked Logano as payback for a spat that started during the second round of the playoffs. Logano had already won at Charlotte to secure his spot in the third round, and Kenseth was closing in on a must-win victory at Kansas that would have extended his playoffs.But Logano, who only had a trophy on the line that day at Kansas, raced Kenseth hard in the closing laps and spun his rival. Kenseth was livid at how hard Logano had raced him. Logano didnt care.The hard feelings simmered for two more weeks, then with Kenseth out of the playoffs, he exacted his revenge.Looking back, Logano knows now his shoulder-shrug attitude toward Kenseth flamed the fire. Had he picked up the phone, called Kenseth or sent him a text, it might have changed the entire season. Kenseth might have let it go, Logano would have won at Martinsville, maybe would already have a Cup championship.Thats all in the past as the third round of the playoffs begins Sunday at Martinsville, and Logano and Kenseth are both still in play. Logano scored a must-win victory last week at Talladega to advance , while Kenseth used consistency and a play-it-safe strategy at Talladega to ensure Joe Gibbs Racing got all four of its Toyotas into the round of eight.Logano is the only Ford driver still in the playoffs. Hes got to face the entire JGR organization -- the team he raced for before they let him go and he was scooped up by Roger Penske -- as well as six-time champion Jimmie Johnson, who leads 2014 winner Kevin Harvick and a trio of Chevrolets.Penske believes Sunday is a critical race, for his driver and his team, in this Chase.Its a level playing field. Were satisfied where we are, he said. I think we need to get through what happened last year at Martinsville and get some good success there so we can move on hopefully to the next round.ddddddddddddLogano, who starts second Sunday, very much wants this do-over. He had a bulls-eye on his back last year, in part because of that three-race sweep in the playoffs, in part because of his supreme confidence. But he had to deliver last week to get to this round, and hes not yet stamped himself as a favorite in this Chase.I think were a little bit more under the radar than we were last year, he said. Weve just got to go out there and fight, do what we know how to do. Dont need to change anything. Weve just got to keep the intensity up, keep realizing we like the pressure; I think were better under pressure. Thats kind of our motto this year. I look forward to those moments. I looked forward to this weekend.Other drivers to watch:JOHNSON: His quest to win a record-tying seventh championship begins in earnest at Martinsville. An eight-time Martinsville winner, Johnson failed to make it to the third round of the Chase in the first two years of this format. This is a good round of track for Johnson, who has 23 career top-10s at Martinsville and has won the last four Chase races at Texas.DENNY HAMLIN: He squeezed into this round of the Chase on a tiebreaker, but hes a five-time Martinsville winner and feels like his shot at the championship race comes Sunday. I think every time I come here that anything less than a victory is a disappointment, Hamlin said.HARVICK: A poor qualifying effort has Harvick starting 20th on Sunday. But he has the best average finish among drivers on short tracks this year at 7.0, and he led 72 laps at Martinsville in the spring. No one is very concerned with how Harvick runs on Sunday, though, because he owns Phoenix, where the final four will be decided.JEFF GORDON: Martinsville is his eighth and final scheduled race as the replacement driver for Dale Earnhardt Jr., and its presumably the last of his career. Hes the defending race winner, and hes been to victory lane at Martinsville nine times in his career. Last years win was one of the biggest of his career, and Gordon would love one last victory celebration.MARTIN TRUEX JR: He was the Chase favorite just a few weeks ago after winning two races in the first round of the Chase. Then a blown engine knocked him out of Talladega, and out of the playoffs. Truex responded with a pole-winning run for Martinsville , and hes determined to close out the season with a string of wins to replace his championship disappointment. ' ' '
