  LONDON -- When Milos Raonic was out on Centre Court fighting for a spot in the Wimbledon final, John McEnroe was watching closely. Mark Sanchez Jersey .The three-time champion at the All England Club wasnt in the players box with Raonics other coaches, however. He was in the commentary box working his TV job.It doesnt really make a difference by any means, said Raonic, who started working with McEnroe last month before the grass-court season. I remember when I played ... in the third round, he messaged me and said, `Hey, they want me to call your match. Do you mind? If you need, Ill sort of request to call another match.I said, I dont mind at all. Hopefully I will have to face the situation where you cant call any other match.That day will come Sunday when Raonic takes on Andy Murray in the Wimbledon final.Raonic advanced to his first Grand Slam final Friday, beating seven-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer 6-3, 6-7 (3), 4-6, 7-5, 6-3. After the match ended, many reporters wanted to know about McEnroes influence.Raonic, the first Canadian man to reach a major final, said hes become more vocal on court, something McEnroe was both famous -- and infamous -- for doing.I think hes definitely put an emphasis on it, Raonic said. A lot of times I felt in matches that I need to sort of calm myself down to let things from getting out of control.He sort of implemented it in the sense of from how hes seen me play. Theres no, `too calm for you. You tend to be too calm, try to get energy out of you, try to get it out of you on court and leave it all out there, try to get the most out of yourself.Raonics other coaches are former No. 1 and 1998 French Open champion Carlos Moya, and Ricardo Piatti. But its McEnroe, who won the Wimbledon title in 1981, `83 and `84, who will likely get the credit for Raonics run at the All England Club if he wins Sunday.And thats just fine with Raonic.At the end of the day, I get to win Wimbledon, Raonic said. Who cares? Mike Singletary Jersey . Its sharpness matched my mind. This was no night to go to sleep. Dan Skuta Jersey . In Europe, top teams seem to be largely happy with their squads after spending nearly $1 billion in the off-season. And although English league clubs are unlikely to splash cash in January, Arsenal and Chelsea could be tempted to strengthen their squads with new strikers. http://www.cheapbearsjerseysauthentic.com/?tag=authentic-kevin-white-jersey . -- Josh Sterk scored once and set up two more as the Oshawa Generals edged the visiting Belleville Bulls 3-2 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action. TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are accustomed to weather delaysAnd, if the past two weeks are an indication, opposing teams better be prepared to deal with them, too, when they visit Raymond James Stadium.Play was suspended in the fourth quarter of a Bucs game because of inclement weather for the second straight week Sunday, when fans were ordered to leave their seats and seek cover in stadium concourses.The Denver Broncos had to wait 86 minutes to close out the final 6:33 of a dominating 27-7 victory that kept the defending Super Bowl champions unbeaten.The previous Sunday, the Los Angeles Rams held on for a 37-32 win after the two-minute warning turned into a 69-minute delay due to a severe thunderstorm punctuated by lightning.A crazy situation. You dont practice it as a coach, Denvers Gary Kubiak said.Our coaches and our players handled it like a mature group. We stayed focused. ... My biggest concern for both teams was just player safety, the Broncos coach added, You sit around for an hour, 25 minutes and come back out there, but it looks like both teams got out healthy. Thats the most important thing.While fans were urged to stay in the stadium and not flee to the parking lots, players hustled to the locker rooms. Once the weather cleared, the teams were told when to return to the field and given 15 minutees to warm up. Kyle Long Jersey. Thunder could be heard in the distance when the game resumed in heavy rain. Most of the announced crowd of 60,375 did not return to their seats for the conclusion of the game.Unlike the previous week, when the Bucs anticipated getting the ball coming out the two-minute warning and used the delay to plot strategy to try to overcome a five-point deficit against the Rams, Sundays game pretty much was decided by the time play was suspended.To be honest, I didnt say a word, Bucs linebacker Kwon Alexander said of what was said in the Tampa Bay locker room during the delay. I was just focused, just trying to get back out there and make a play for our offense to get some points on the board. We really didnt say (anything), everybody was just thinking and being focused. (A game) never feels over to me. I never give up on anything.The Bucs routinely have to juggle practice times and schedules because of severe weather on Floridas Gulf Coast. There have been delays during preseason and regular season games in the past, though none that stopped play during the closing minutes of fourth quarters in consecutive weeks.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
