Yeo said after the Wilds practice at First Niagara Center

BUFFALO, N. Cheap Basketball College Jerseys .Y. - The NHL has suspended Minnesota Wild defenceman Ryan Suter two games for elbowing Pittsburgh Penguins forward Steve Downie in the head.Suter will miss Minnesotas game Thursday night in Buffalo against the Sabres and Saturday at home against the Arizona Coyotes.The 29-year-old had never been suspended before in his 10-year career.Suter said Tuesday night after the Wilds loss in Pittsburgh that the elbow was accidental.Coach Mike Yeo backed him up on that Wednesday, speaking before Suters disciplinary hearing.What I saw when I looked at it initially is hes not looking at the player at all, Yeo said after the Wilds practice at First Niagara Center. Hes looking at the player and I think he puts his elbow up just almost kind of to box the guy out.No one plays more than Suter, as he averages a league-high 29:34 a game, just ahead of Drew Doughty of the Los Angeles Kings.The argument could be made that no team needs one single skater more than the Wild need Suter, especially considering theyve lost six in a row and 12 of their past 14 games.Yeo was hoping Suter would just be fined by the NHL, as Marco Scandella was earlier in the season.I would hope for sure, for a lot of reasons, Yeo said. I know that thats not his intention, thats not the type of player that he is, and i know that he felt bad about it even during the game. As much as anything else, we need him in the lineup.---Follow @SWhyno on Twitter Custom NCAA Jerseys .

Instead, Rivers was sacked seven times, was intercepted twice and lost a fumble as the Chiefs overwhelmed the Chargers line.Rivers had been listed on the injury report in recent weeks as having chest and back injuries.Reports surfaced that Rivers had a bulging disc in his lower back.Asked to confirm or deny it, he said: I just dont think theres any reason to confirm it. Cant deny it, but its not exactly accurate.Rivers said talking about his injuries does no good. Its self-serving, really, to tell you anything, because then its like, Oh, well thats why this and that happened. My injuries had nothing to do with whether I threw it good or threw it bad.Rivers was intercepted seven times in the final three games.

Everything we do, were one. Were a football team, were an organization. Were going to back each other. Its not just one phase, its not just one coach. It all starts with me as the head coach and we didnt play well enough to win, so give me all the blame for it. Thats fine.McCoy, who is from the San Francisco Bay Area, was asked if hes interested in the 49ers vacancy after Jim Harbaughs mutual agreement with the team to part ways.Im very happy with where Im at. I love my job, McCoy said.___Follow Bernie Wilson on Twitter at http://twitter.com/berniewilson___Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
