Former Brisbane coach Justin Leppitsch harbours no ill feelings toward the board that sacked him or the club captain he was widely reported to have a strained relationship with.Leppitsch was released on Monday from the final year of his contract after Brisbane slumped to a 17th-placed finish with just three wins this year - leaving him with 14 win from 66 matches.He told The Nine Networks The Footy Show on Thursday night he was initially disappointed and angry with the boards decision, but quickly accepted the club needed to go in a different direction.Lions captain Tom Rockliff, who has tried unsuccessfully to negotiate a contract extension beyond next season, is by no means certain to continue with the Lions either.Leppitsch played down a reported rift between him and the skipper and doesnt believe Rockliff should be stood down or traded.If the the club feel Toms position as captain needs to be looked at (so be it) but I tell you what they havent got a Melbourne Cup field coming through as candidates to replace him, Leppitsch said.Thats just the position where the clubs at.He has a great passion for the football club .Leppitsch said he had no issue with being notified of his sacking over the phone or with the players being informed via text message - not email - as had been widely reported.Obviously, it was disappointing early, but theres a great realisation in this game that were all just passing parades, he said.Theres been disappointment, theres been levels of inevitability at times and theres been other times Ive felt disappointed that this process has happened, but its also part of the big picture of the footy club and the club is bigger than any individual.Leppitsch said he first felt his job was in grave danger about two to three weeks before the end of the season.He admitted the Lions well-documented issues at board level had been a distraction at times, but added those matters had been identified and were being worked on.The most-important thing is that our football club has a united front going forward, he said.I cant deny that in the last month some things shifted as far as decision making goes, but I still believe that the club had to have a fresh start.Theyre difficult decisions to make - whos on the bus and whos not.It doesnt fall my way now and thats fine. I worked very hard for the footy club and what I can hang my on is that that everything I did for the club to win its next premiership.

Basketball Shoes Online Store . -- Peyton Manning will have all of his wide receivers available for the first time in a month when the Denver Broncos begin their playoff run Jan. WASHINGTON -- Washington Nationals star Stephen Strasburg?says he isnt sure whether he will pitch again this season.Strasburg, 28, left Wednesdays start in the third inning. Tests determined he has a strained flexor mass in his right elbow and the injury is not related to his ligament, which needed Tommy John surgery five years ago.I cant make that claim, Strasburg said about a 2016 return. Theres still pretty much a month left in the season. Im just trying to get back healthy. Hopefully, were still playing baseball.Strasburg received his first platelet rich plasma injection Friday, a procedure in which his blood was drawn, platelets separated in a centrifuge and activated platelets injected back into the injured area to assist healing.I think the biggest thing is just seeing how it feels four, five days from now, Strasburg said, then start progressing with a little bit more treatment and strengthening up the forearm and getting into some sort of throwing program.Strasburg started the season 13-0 with a 2.51 ERA. He allowed 19 earned runs in 11? innings in three outings before going on the disabled list, then lasted just 2? innings in his return.Unfortunately this hass happened to me so many times that its just like, I can just sit here and let it eat at me, which Ive done in the past and it doesnt make it any better, so its the cards that Ive been dealt, he said.dddddddddddd Im just trying to stay positive and learn from it and work even harder.In Wednesdays start against Philadelphia, Strasburg felt a pinch in the back of his elbow that wouldnt go away.It was a little alarming to me, he said. Even when I went out there for the third, it felt more like the seventh or eighth inning, which was kind of odd. I just tried to get it out and then felt something on a pitch and it didnt really go away. It just kind of stayed there. Thats when I knew it probably wouldnt be a good idea to try to throw through it.Still, there was relief when tests determined his ulnar collateral ligament was not damaged.It was about as good of news as you can get, he said. So, Im just trying to take it one day at a time now and do everything I can to get out there, not only as fast as possible but feeling right at the same time. ' ' '
