Harbhajan to lead Punjab on returnHarbhajan Singh will lead Punjab in the Group A match against Tamil Nadu in Nagpur in his first Ranji Trophy game of the season; the offspinner will be returning to the squad after a long personal break. Harbhajan will take over as captain from Yuvraj Singh, who will miss the matches against Tamil Nadu and Gujarat (starts from November 29) due to his wedding. Punjab are currently fourth in Group A with 16 points. Yuvraj is among the top five run-scorers this season with 672 runs, including a career-best 260 against Baroda, in five matches at an average of 84. I am [still motivated], Yuvraj told The Telegraph. I got a career-best 260 just weeks ago. Im not through with the game.Gambhir set to lead DelhiHaving been released from the India squad, Gautam Gambhir is set to lead Delhi in their Ranji Trophy fixture against Rajasthan in Wayanad. Fast bowler Ishant Sharma was named the 16th member of the squad, although he is likely to stay with the national team as cover. Shikhar Dhawan, however, is a certain starter in the Delhi XI, having recovered from a thumb injury he sustained in the only Test he played against New Zealand, in Kolkata. Dhawan will be keen to prove his fitness in domestic cricket, in line with national coach Anil Kumbles policy, and press his case for the hotly-contested opening spots.Mishra boost for HaryanaLegspinner Amit Mishra is set to turn out for Haryana in their Group C fixture against Goa in Ghaziabad after being released from the Test squad. Mishra picked three wickets in the first Test against England and his economy rate was over four runs per over in both innings. He was dropped for the second Test in Vishakhapatnam, and instead his Haryana team-mate Jayant Yadav was handed a debut. The match against Goa will be Mishras first Ranji game since February 2015. Haryana are currently placed second, behind Andhra, in Group C with 19 points from six matches.Vinay targets India returnKarnataka captain Vinay Kumar, who went past 400 first-class wickets with a nine-wicket haul in Karnatakas 393-run win over Rajasthan, has now set his sights on a return to the national side. Vinay has made 41 appearances for India, with the last one in an ODI against Australia in Bangalore three years ago. I am not going to be satisfied with this [400 first-class wickets] as my main goal is to make a comeback to Indian team, Vinay told Wisden India. I am feeling much better even though I am 32. Age is just a number. I will keep working on my batting and bowling and try to keep myself fit. I am never going to give up.Krishna, Mathias included in Karnataka squadSeamers David Mathias and Prasidh Krishna have been called-up to the Karnataka squad for their Group B clash against Orissa in Delhi, with Abhimanyu Mithun still recuperating from injury. Mathias played two Ranji Trophy games last season, while Krishna is yet to make his debut in the tournament. Left-arm spinner Abrar Kazi, meanwhile, replaced J Suchith in a like-for-like swap. Karnataka are currently on top of the Group B table with 29 points. Adidas Neo Lite Racer Canada .

At a Manhattan federal court hearing, attorney Jordan Siev said his law office has gotten more evidence nearly every day to support its lawsuit accusing MLB and Selig of going on a "witch hunt" to ruin Rodriguezs reputation and career. He said the defendants went "way over the line. From 1967 to 1999, 22 of 33 defending Super Bowl champions started a future Hall of Famer at quarterback in Week 1. Since then, only one quarterback for a defending champion is even eligible for the Hall of Fame right now (Kurt Warner), but 12 of the past 16 defending champions started a QB who will likely end up in Canton (Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Eli Manning, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger?and Warner).So its very rare for a defending champion to have a questionable quarterback situation going into the season. But thats exactly where the Denver Broncos find themselves, with 2015 seventh-rounder Trevor Siemian being named the Week 1 starter. Only one other champ has kicked off its title defense with a quarterback in only his second NFL season. That team, of course, was also the Broncos.?And no other defending champion ever had a starter who had yet to throw a regular-season pass in the NFL.But which defending champs had the worst Week 1 starters? In compiling the list below, our goal was too judge the quarterback situations based on how they looked at the time, not how they look in retrospect.ddddddddddddThats why the 2001 Baltimore Ravens do not make our top five. We think of Elvis Grbac as one of the worst quarterbacks to ever start for a defending champion, but going into that season he actually looked like an excellent free-agent signing by the Ravens.Grbac had been Kansas Citys starter for two years. He was coming off a Pro Bowl selection, back when QBs selected for the Pro Bowl actually went to the Pro Bowl. Grbac threw 28 touchdowns and just 14 interceptions in 2000. Football Outsiders DYAR (Defense-adjusted Yards Above Replacement) metric ranked him fourth in passing value among all quarterbacks in 2000?and sixth in 1999.Here are five defending champions with quarterback situations that looked even shakier than the Ravens replacing Trent Dilfer with Grbac.
