DALLAS -- Kansas coach David Beaty, raised in Dallas as the son of a police officer, said Monday he believes college football can help heal a wounded nation in the wake of recent police shootings.My heart certainly hurts for the Dallas community and for law enforcement and for communities across the country that are suffering and are in pain right now, Beaty said in his opening comments at Big 12 media days. I pray that well begin to listen to one another, love one another and get to the hard work of healing our nation.Beatys late father, Buford Beaty, witnessed the murder of John F. Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald in 1963. Buford Beaty was on duty as Oswald was shot in the basement of the Dallas police station by restaurant owner Jack Ruby.The violence this month has shaken David Beaty, he said. Twelve officers were shot, including five who died, on July 7 in downtown Dallas.I believe that college football can be an example in the midst of our struggles in America, Beaty said. Young men from all walks of life, different backgrounds, coming together, listening to one another, working hard together, learning from one another, fighting for a common goal. I think society can learn a lot from these young men, and Im really excited about working with some of them right there at KU.Beaty, 45, is entering his second season at Kansas. He got his start in the coaching business at four high schools in the metroplex. http://www.jetsrookiestore.com/Jets-Joe-Namath-Jersey/ .com) - The game was all punts and field goals before Kodi Whitfields catch. http://www.jetsrookiestore.com/Jets-Bruce-Carter-Jersey/ . 10 VCU 85-67 on Thursday night at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off. The Seminoles (4-0) have scored at least 80 points in each of their games. http://www.jetsrookiestore.com/Customized/ . There are surprises among the Vezina candidates, but most of the others are standard top-tier performers, even if the two Hart Trophy runners-ups have never been quite as good as they have been through the first half of the season. http://www.jetsrookiestore.com/Jets-Quincy-Enunwa-Jersey/ . The defence is doing its part, too. Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half and the guys on the other side made sure that was enough, sending the Saints to a 17-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. http://www.jetsrookiestore.com/Jets-Josh-Mccown-Jersey/ . -- Catcher Brett Hayes has agreed to a $630,000, one-year contract with the Kansas City Royals, avoiding salary arbitration. Wellington coach Ernie Merrick is refusing to get carried away with their first set of back-to-back wins in over a year, and challenged his team to make it three next week.A five-star performance from Roy Krishna inspired the Phoenix to a dominant 2-0 win over Central Coast on Saturday to claim successive victories for the first time since October 2015.Merrick was full of praise for Krishna, who netted his fourth goal in three games, but was just as ecstatic with players deputising for five regulars away on international duty.Now Merrick has urged his men to keep gathering momentum in the A-League, although theyll have to do it against a Melbourne Victory side that fired six past them three weeks ago.I thought that was a very important game for us to win. I thought it was a terrific occasion, Remembrance Day, and coming over here to Canberra, Merrick said.But I feel as though we need to go on a run of more than two, so weve got to keep it in perspective.dddddddddddd.To have so many inexperienced players come into a team at once, I knew wed prepared for it pre-season, but its still a lot of pressure away from home.Merrick admitted that without his troupe of All Whites, he had planned to maximise Krishnas speed against the Mariners defence at GIO Stadium.Roy was on fire up front and his pace is incredible.We knew that, so we set up for a counter-attacking game. Our defence though, that was where the real inexperience was, he said.So with an experienced line-up at the back, we had to make sure we were very compact and we relied on fast-breaking play and I thought Roy, Hamish (Watson) and Roly (Bonevacia) were first class there.
