KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Chiefs Spencer Ware learned a lot from Marshawn Lynch during his short time in Seattle.For one thing, Ware learned to generally keep his mouth shut.For another, he learned to run like a beast.He was always demonstrating, so I was able to see it day-in and day-out in his work ethic, said Ware, who ran for 77 yards and caught a 48-yard touchdown pass to lead Kansas City to a 24-21 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday . Hes one of the great ones. His consistency set him apart.Wares tenure with the Seahawks was hardly memorable. The sixth-round pick shuffled between the active roster and practice squad as a rookie, carrying just three times for 10 yards in two games.He didnt play at all the following season.But when he signed a future contract with the Chiefs on New Years Eve that year, Ware got with it a fresh start. He earned a spot on the team as a hybrid fullback in training camp, then earned important carries when four-time Pro Bowl running back Jamaal Charles went down with a knee injury.The Chiefs thought so highly of his performance that they signed him to a two-year, $3.6 million contract that must have seemed unfathomable considering where hed been a year earlier.He runs with a lot of physicality and determination, Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith said. He played quarterback (in high school), hes done a lot of things in his past going back to college, so he has that in him. Hes a good mix and I think you see it physically. He has great vision.That vision was never more evident than on his first career TD reception.Ware caught the screen pass from Smith a couple of yards downfield, turned toward the end zone and began making guys miss. Never really known for his speed or elusiveness -- Ware is still a power runner despite slimming down a bit -- he managed to leave the Saints gasping for air.Big guys were coming at me. I wandered off, got lost in the middle and ending up squeezing out, Ware said. It was a tremendous job on the perimeter by our receivers and a great job by our offensive linemen coming downfield to block. Its always good to see those big guys run like that.Likewise, they love seeing Ware run the way he does.Great feet and vision, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. When he hits it, hes going up field. You dont see him going lateral much. When he sees it, he hits it.Hes also been doing a better job of hanging onto the football lately.Ware never fumbled once in high school or college, even while playing for LSU in the pressure-cooker of the SEC. And he hadnt fumbled once in the NFL until a few weeks ago in Houston, when he lost the ball in a 19-12 defeat. Then he lost a fumble each of the next two weeks, too.But considering everything hes been through already in his young career, Ware never let the mistakes get him down. He spent the Chiefs bye week working on ball security, and the result was a flawless performance in a win over Oakland and another against the Saints.I think him probably being around Seattle there a little bit with the way `Beast Mode ran it, Reid said, referring to Lynch by his nickname, thats the same type of deal. He had a chance to watch that firsthand and talk to him. ... Thats how you work that thing.Its been working out quite well for Ware and the Chiefs, too.Game notes Charles only played one snap Sunday after some knee swelling last week. Reid said it wasnt a big issue and he simply wanted to be cautious with him. Its a long season and well need him as we go, Reid said. Im trying to be as patient as possible. ... Reid said CB Phillip Gaines (knee) was doing better Monday, though its unclear when he will play. Gaines was inactive against the Saints. ... LB Justin Houston (knee surgery) still does not have a timeline for returning to games. Well just keep practicing him and see how he does, Reid said. Hes not there yet.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap College Football Jerseys .

The NCAA has pulled seven championship events from North Carolina, including opening-weekend mens basketball tournament games, for the coming year due to a state law that some say can lead to discrimination against LGBT people.In a news release Monday, the NCAA says the decision by its board of governors came because of the cumulative actions taken by the state concerning civil rights protections.This decision is consistent with the NCAAs long-standing core values of inclusion, student-athlete well-being and creating a culture of fairness, said Georgia Tech President G.P. Bud Peterson, the chair of the board of governors.The law -- known as HB2 -- requires transgender people to use restrooms at schools and government buildings corresponding to the sex on their birth certificates. It also excludes gender identity and sexual orientation from local and statewide antidiscrimination protections.HB2 was signed into law by Republican Gov. Pat McCrory earlier this year. A spokesman with McCrorys office couldnt immediately be reached for comment Monday evening, but a spokeswoman with the state Republican party blasted the decision in statement, saying it is so absurd its almost comical.I wish the NCAA was this concerned about the women who were raped at Baylor, spokeswoman Kami Mueller said Monday night.The only championship events that can be hosted in North Carolina this academic year are ones determined when a team earns the right to play on their own campus.The NCAA said it will relocate the mens basketball first- and second-round games that were scheduled for March 17 and 19 in Greensboro. The NCAA will also relocate:- the Division I womens soccer championship scheduled for Dec. 2 and 4 in Cary, just outside the capital city of Raleigh;- the Division III mens and womens soccer championships set for Dec. 2 and 3 in Greensboro;- the Division I womens golf regional championships set for May 8-10 in Greenville;- the Division III mens and womens tennis championships set for May 22-27 in Cary;- the Division I womens lacrosse championship set for May 26 and 28 in Cary;- and the Division II baseball championship from May 27 to June 3 in Cary.North Carolina athletic director Bubba Cunningham and North Carolina State AD Debbie Yow both issued statements Monday evening saying they were disappointed at the loss of the events.We certainly hope there will be resolution in the very near future, Yow said.The campaign spokesman for Democrat Roy Cooper, the states attorney general and McCrorys re-election opponent in November, said the law needs to be repealed.It seems that almost every day, we learn of a new consequence of HB2, spokesman Ford Porter said.dddddddddddd ... We need to repeal this law and get our state back on track.The NCAAs move leaves the Atlantic Coast Conference football championship game in Charlotte as the marquee college sporting event in the state this year as the mens basketball tournament starts a two-year stay in Brooklyn, New York.However, that event also could be in jeopardy. In May, the ACC announced that member schools discussed the law during their annual spring meetings and said it could impact whether the state hosts league championship events.In April, the NCAA announced it was adopting an anti-discrimination measure that would affect the way the governing body evaluates bids to host sporting events and required sites to demonstrate how they will provide an environment that is safe, healthy and free of discrimination.In a statement Monday night, NCAA President Mark Emmert said the governing body will delay announcements on future championship sites until early next year. That comes as it reviews responses to questionnaires required of prospective site hosts on how they would comply with the NCAAs anti-discrimination measure.In announcing its decision Monday, the NCAA stated current North Carolina laws make it challenging to guarantee that host communities can help deliver on that requirement.The NCAA also took special note of four ways North Carolinas law differs from other states. The NCAA pointed out that five states -- Connecticut, Minnesota, New York, Vermont and Washington -- and several cities prohibit travel by public employees and representatives of public institutions to the state of North Carolina. Those representatives prohibited to travel could include athletes, coaches and athletic administrators.Mondays action by the NCAA is the latest public and business backlash that has arisen since the law was enacted. The NBA moved its 2017 All-Star Game to New Orleans instead of hosting it in Charlotte as originally scheduled because of the law. Duke lost a mens basketball game from its schedule when Albany backed out due to that states travel ban, while the Vermont womens basketball team has canceled a December trip to play North Carolina in Chapel Hill.Entertainers like Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam and Ringo Starr have canceled plans to play in North Carolina.
