DOWNEY, Calif. -- Joe Resnick, a correspondent who covered Los Angeles sports for The Associated Press for more than three decades, died Sunday after a six-month struggle with cancer. He was 62.Resnick died at home under hospice care, according to close friend Ed Munson.A 1976 graduate of Emerson College, Resnick was a constant presence at all professional and college sports in the Los Angeles area. His first love was baseball and there werent many Dodgers or Angels games played without him being in the press box. He lived in Downey because it was approximately halfway between the two ballparks.He freelanced for many of the nations largest newspapers and also worked at Hollywood Park racetrack and for Fox Sports, and was a press volunteer at the Los Angeles Olympics.I worked with him for 25 years and no one prepared for a game like Joe did, said John Nadel, a sports writer for the AP in Los Angeles for 32 years who retired in 2009. There was no one who took the job more seriously and cared more about it than Joe. He will be missed.Two weeks ago he was presented with the Bob Hunter Award by the Los Angeles chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America, an honor for meritorious coverage of baseball.The Anaheim Ducks lay red roses, two pucks, a baseball and photos of Resnick at work in a tribute at the AP seat in the press box at Honda Center before Sunday nights game.The Dodgers tweeted a picture of Resnick with announcer Vin Scully, saying: The Dodgers are very sorry to learn about the passing of longtime AP baseball reporter Joe Resnick, and offer their deepest condolences.A native of Brooklyn, Resnick moved to Los Angeles in 1984 after working in the APs New York sports office for five years. Of the many events he covered for the AP he was most recognized for his handling of the West Coast Conference playoff game in 1990 when Hank Gathers of Loyola Marymount collapsed and died on the court.Resnick is survived by an uncle and two nieces.

The 29-year-old Baines has established himself as one of the top attacking full backs in the country and was the subject of two bids from United during the last off-season. Everton manager Roberto Martinez says that keeping Baines at the club is a "massive boost and exciting for the future" because he brings "maturity and football knowledge in a very specialized position on the pitch" and an "infectious and positive influence to the rest of the squad. Travis Kelce Jersey .Y. -- Marcell Dareus and the Buffalo Bills defence made life miserable for Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco. http://www.customchiefsjersey.com/custom-chris-jones-jersey-large-2306n.html . The team said Saturday that Lopez was hurt during its 121-120 overtime loss at Philadelphia on Friday. The Nets said they would issue another update next week after consultation with their doctors. Joe Montana Jersey . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night.

LOS ANGELES -- When Arizona and Oregon decided to make changes on defense after disappointing 2015 seasons, they did so in a wildly disparate fashion.The Ducks demoted defensive coordinator Don Pellum and replaced him with former Michigan head coach Brady Hoke, while the Wildcats completely overhauled their staff, adding rising star Marcel Yates from Boise State.The varying approaches reflect both the coaches and programs that met in the 2014 Pac-12 title game won by Oregon. The Ducks have long valued staff continuity, promoting offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich to the top job in 2013 while five assistants including Pellum have been with the program for at least 13 seasons.Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez has never been a wallflower, removing his longtime coordinator Jeff Casteel in January and scrapping the 3-3-5 defense that had been a staple dating back to Rodriguezs tenure at West Virginia.Instead of just putting a Band-Aid on it, lets just go and start all over again, Rodriguez said at Pac-12 media day on Thursday. It was better just to start all over again, scheme-wise, personnel-wise, recruiting-wise. It just wasnt working out.An injury-ravaged Arizona defense allowed 35.8 points per game last season, with All-America linebacker Scooby Wright (knee/foot) limited to just three games and 25 different players making at least one start.Rodriguezs search for a replacement was focused as much on personality as tactical acumen, leading him to the 38-year old Yates.Defensive lineman Sani Fuimaono said the team relates well to the youthful energy of Yates and his assistants, which has carried over to recruiting. Arizona currently has 22 non-binding verbal commitments and its class ranks in thee top 15 nationally according to Scout, Rivals and 24/7 Sports.ddddddddddddThe most encouraging thing I saw from our defense was just the renewed enthusiasm, Rodriguez said.Oregon linebacker Johnny Ragin said Hoke has done the same for the Ducks, but Helfrich has been just as impressed with how Pellum has welcomed the change.What he did blew me away, just as far as his passion to sell Brady Hoke on the recruiting trail. . There needs to be a sociological study done about how great that was, Helfrich said.Pellum has been with the program for all but two years since 1984 as a player, administrator and assistant, electing to maintain his ties to Oregon even after his defense ranked last in the Pac-12 in points and yards allowed last season.Coach Pellum is an Oregon man through and through, Ragin said. He has been there longer that a lot of us (players) have even been alive, so he is really dedicated to the program and dedicated to our success.For Oregon to rebound from a 9-4 season -- nowhere near the recent high-flying standards set by Chip Kelly or quarterback Marcus Mariota -- the defense must replace five starters from its defensive front. The tally includes standout lineman DeForest Buckner, who was drafted No. 7 overall by the San Francisco 49ers.But Helfrich saw benefits from the turnover, enjoying how players pushed to make their mark while also absorbing the new two-gap system in the spring.We would have found a home for DeForest, dont get me wrong, but the newness, the freshness, the competitiveness that they approached it with was awesome, Helfrich said.
