My thing with Ross is, `How good do you want to be?Deckie Johnson led the Mean Green (1-1) with 13 points. A.J. Lawson finished with 10 points and Jeremy Combs added nine points.I think theyre an NCAA Tournament team, North Texas head coach Tony Benford said of Texas Tech. I think theyre really deep.

Tracey comes to the Blue Bombers after spending over a decade with Queens University. Most recently he was the schools assistant football coach. Matt Milano Bills Jersey . -- The boos poured down on Tom Brady and the New England Patriots at the end of a horrible first half. Niki Lauda says he can understand why Nico Rosberg was penalised for his overtake of Max Verstappen during the German Grand Prix, saying the German simply went too wide at the corner.?A poor start from Rosberg saw him drop to fourth behind the Red Bulls but he appeared to be fighting back mid-way through the race. On lap 30 he threw his Mercedes deep into the corner on the inside of Verstappen, who had to bail out across the run-off area.Despite Rosberg protesting and telling Mercedes he applied full steering lock, onboard replays showed this was not the case until after Verstappen was running out of space. The stewards gave him a five-second penalty, which he served at his next stop.When asked what he thought about the incident, Lauda told Sky Sports: Honestly I think its OK. You can interpret it that way, that he went too wide, so I understand its a fifty-fifty decision so if thats what they decide theres nothing you can do.To make matters worse for Rosberg, a stopwatch malfunction on the Mercedes pit wall meant he actually stayed stationarry for eight seconds before the team changed his tyres.dddddddddddd. That delay dropped him behind the Red Bull drivers, forcing him to settle for fourth position -- meaning he goes into the summer break 19 points behind teammate Lewis Hamilton in the championship.However, Lauda refused to blame just the pit stop for the result.?We had various problems but I have to say the Red Bulls were very quicker here than I thought altogether, which is a good result for them.Nico lost speed on his car but not for mechanical reasons and Red Bull improved the speed, they did the right strategy and did really good.The decision is consistent with what the stewards decided in Austria, when Rosberg went straight on at a corner and into Lewis Hamilton as they vied for the lead on the final lap. On that occasion, he was handed a ten-second time penalty. It means Rosberg has been given time penalties at three of the last four races.? ' ' '
