AKRON, Ohio -- Jason Day had a one-shot lead at Firestone and already was posing with the trophy.Just not the Bridgestone Invitational trophy.The Cleveland Cavaliers had their gold NBA Finals trophy on display at various parts of the golf course on Friday, and Day couldnt resist getting a picture. The Australian to makes his home outside Columbus loves the Cavs, and he was seen courtside at a game last year. He was sitting next to his wife, Ellie, who suffered a mild concussion when she was body slammed by LeBron James when he chased after a loose ball.Ellie took a photo with me, Day said, and LeBron James didnt come and tackle us. So that was a neat thing.Its also neat to see his name atop the leaderboard, which is getting to be familiar for the worlds No. 1 player. Already a three-time winner this year, Day made a pair of late birdies for a 1-under 69 and had a one-shot lead over David Lingmerth.The Cavs finally gave the city a title after 52 long years. The Cleveland Indians won their franchise-record 14th straight on Friday. Day is an Ohio resident, so maybe he can be part of the states winning ways.If we could just pick up the Browns, that would be nice, Day said.Day still has two days to go, and with only nine players remaining under par at Firestone, theres still a long way to go.BE LIKE TIGER: Day drops so many references to Tiger Woods, particularly the occasional text messages they share, that he didnt realize until later that their names were mentioned together in footnotes Friday. Day was at 4-under 136, matching the highest 36-hole score to lead at this World Golf Championship. The other player was Woods in 2005, and he went on to win.Day also talks about getting the lead and wanting to expand it. Woods eight victories at Firestone include seven-shot, eight-shot and 11-shot wins.Day doesnt want to get too far ahead of himself, and hell take a victory by any margin. But the idea of a 10-shot lead sounded appealing.Id be skipping down the fairways, hopefully, Day said with a smile. But I dont think thats the case this week.CLEVELAND CONNECTION: Day wasnt the only player with an Ohio connection.Lingmerth matched the low score of the second round with a 3-under 67 (K.T. Kim also shot 67) and put him in the final group. The obvious connection is that Lingmerth won the Memorial for this first PGA Tour victory last year.The more obscure connection is his uncle.Goran Lingmerth was the placekicker for the Cleveland Browns in 1987.THE CHASERS: Williams McGirt was among three players who were two shots behind, and it was hard work. McGirt was 10 shots worse than his opening round of 64, and his second round wasnt that awful except for pesky wind that made it tougher than usual to keep the tee shots in the fairways.Trying to figure out the wind was impossible, McGirt said. It was a lot of down off the left with a touch of in off the right. I mean, who knows?When he reached the 18th, he about gave up. Two shots in the rough. Another into a bunker. A double bogey.His work was not through. Not long after signing his card, McGirt was selected for drug testing. At least that was indoors.SPIETH SPEEDS UP: One noticeable change about Jordan Spieth was that he gets about the business of hitting a shot much quicker than earlier this year.That was by design.Spieth is aware of whispers in the crowd and commentary on the television about his pace of play. He spoke to his swing coach, who suggested he was better off just stepping into a shot and hitting it instead of having drawn-out conversations with his caddie.Spieth shot a 71 and was three shots behind, but he is working on getting faster.The quicker part actually helps me because then I just get up there and fire away, he said. The more I can do that, actually I think the better off -- kind of gun slinging mentality, just to go up and hit the way I always have played.THE EAGLE HAS LANDED: No one in the last eight years had made an eagle on the monstrous par-5 16th hole. Justin Thomas changed that with a drive that was estimated at three times his body weight. Thomas caught the slope perfectly and hit it 414 yards (hes slightly heavier than 138 pounds, but not by much). Thomas then hit 5-iron left of the green and chipped in for eagle.I cant hit another drive that hard, Thomas said.It led to a 69, and like Spieth, Kevin Kisner and Adam Scott, he was only three behind. Yandy Diaz Rays Jersey . The phone hearing is scheduled for 4:30pm et/1:30pm pt. Winchester, who was not penalized for the hit, appeared to make contact with Kellys head early in the first period of Thursdays game in Boston. Daniel Robertson Jersey . On June 12, just as the sun sets on the magnificent historical city of Sao Paulo the inventors, innovators and purveyors of “joga bonitowill” open their campaign. The opponent, Croatia and all its football might and will. As opposites do attract we are set for a corker of an opener. https://www.cheapraysonline.com/1636i-nate-lowe-jersey-rays.html . PETERSBURG, Fla. Mike Zunino Rays Jersey . Just not the game. Kyle Palmieri scored two straight goals in the third period to rally the Anaheim Ducks past the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Tuesday night. Mike Brosseau Jersey . Kiriasis and brakeman Franziska Fritz finished two runs in one minute 55.41 seconds -- a mere 0.01 seconds ahead of Meyers and Lolo Jones, who likely bolstered her Olympic hopes by helping give USA-1 a huge push in the second heat. FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets struggling secondary will likely be without one of its best playmakers.Cornerback Darrelle Revis is doubtful to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers after not practicing all week because of a tweaked hamstring. He will be a game-time decision, but it appears hell sit out, barring major improvement before Sunday.Its a hamstring and Ive had them through the course of my career, Revis said Friday. Its not as severe as past ones Ive had. Its something that gets knotted up and restricts you from running. The only thing I can worry about is trying to get better.Revis was injured last Sunday while covering Paul Richardson late in the third quarter of the Jets 27-17 loss to Seattle and missed most of the fourth quarter.He ran a go-route and I was right there with him, turned and looked for the ball and it pulled, Revis said. It was just one of those freak accidents.The cornerback, who has had his own struggles during a tough start for a pass defense that ranks 26th in the NFL, acknowledged that there has been some consideration about rushing back too soon and risk being sidelined for several weeks.Weve still got a long season, he said. Im trying to be optimistic about it. Well see come Sunday whether or not Im up.Marcus Williams or rookie Juston Burris, a fourth-round draft pick , could move into Revis starting spot opposite Buster Skrine if the seven-time Pro Bowl selection cant play. Darryl Roberts, claimed off waivers from New England before the season, could also be active for the first time.Williams led the Jets last season with six interceptions, and has two this year -- the only INTs New York has so far. Burris, out of North Carolina State, saw extended playing time in the preseason and impressed his teammates.Im very confident in Juston Burris, Revis said. Hes stepped in a few times this year already and hes made some big plays.The secondary isnt the only area of concern this weekend against the Steelers. Wide receiver Eric Decker willl miss his second straight game, as expected, with a partly torn right rotator cuff.dddddddddddd But fellow receiver Quincy Enunwa, who leads the Jets (1-3) with 23 receptions, is questionable after tweaking a knee during practice.That leaves only Brandon Marshall, Jeremy Ross and rookies Robby Anderson and Charone Peake as healthy receivers on the Jets roster. Rookie Jalin Marshall is doubtful with a shoulder injury.Backup tight end Braedon Bowman was also ruled out for the game with a knee injury, which could open the door for Austin Seferian-Jenkins to make his Jets debut. Seferian-Jenkins was claimed off waivers from Tampa Bay , which cut him after a DUI arrest two weeks ago.Coach Todd Bowles said Seferian-Jenkins, who was inactive last week, could play this week, depending on the packages the coaching staff decides to use against the Steelers (3-1).What Ive been asked to do, I feel good about, Seferian-Jenkins said. Theres still stuff Ive got to work out, but from that point, I feel fine. I feel comfortable with what Ive done in practice.Starting right guard Brian Winters has a concussion and will be out against Pittsburgh. Bowles said Brent Qvale and Dakota Dozier have been splitting snaps at the position this week.Qvale, who started at right tackle last week, replaced Winters after he left when he head-butted Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett during a play. Dozier practiced at center and both guard spots throughout training camp and is listed as the primary backup at left guard, where he played the majority of his college career.Coach (Steve) Marshall has done a really good job of making sure all of us guys on the line have the ability to play multiple positions, Dozier said. Whether Im in there at right (guard), left (guard) or center, I feel comfortable at either position.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
