time break instead of moving the session to an indoor

Phoenix, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) - Both the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks concluded their major on-field practice preparations for Super Bowl XLIX on Friday. The Patriots even canceled their plans to conduct a walk-through session on Saturday while Seattle will host a morning walk-through practice at Arizona State University. This is it, Pats coach Bill Belichick said. Practice-wise, were done. Were as ready as were going to be. These guys have worked hard. I think theyre ready to go. Were playing a good team, so were going to have to play well. Belichick decided to practice outdoors at the Arizona Cardinals practice facility despite persistent rain showers and took a 28-minute halftime break instead of moving the session to an indoor bubble. I thought about going inside, Belichick said, but not for long. Belichick felt the wet weather in normally dry Arizona provided a hurdle that could be beneficial. Make it tougher in practice than it will be in the game, Belichick said. All-pro cornerback Darrelle Revis was a spectator for the majority of team activity but fears of an injury were off base, according to Belichick. We backed a lot of guys off, the coach said. (Revis) took a lot of reps yesterday and Wednesday. Were all good to go. With most expecting this to be a close game the Patriots devoted a lot of time to the kicking game with half-speed, non-contact reps. The lull in the middle was also meaningful, mimicking the extended 28-minute halftime ceremony during the Super Bowl which is more than twice as long as the typical 12-minute intermission for NFL games. Weve done it before, Belichick said of the simulation. The Seahawks, meanwhile, finished their full-blown practice sessions in front of a interesting crowd, including former owner John Nordstrom, former quarterback Jim Zorn and hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg. Seattle went 77 minutes and practiced indoors at Arizona States practice bubble. We shut down the tempo today because weve had two great weeks of preparation, said coach Pete Carroll. Were just trying to ice it up now, get everything just right, and make sure were set to play our best on Sunday. For the third straight day, every Seahawks player practiced but Pro Bowl strong safety Kam Chancellor injured his left knee at the end of the session and was seen walking off with the knee wrapped. Chancellor was listed on Seattles injury report as probable for Sundays game but adds to an already banged-up secondary. All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman is dealing with a hyperextended elbow and star free safety Earl Thomas is recovering from a dislocated shoulder.

The Madrid clubs stumbled in the Spanish league on Sunday as they looked sapped of energy following their wins in the Champions League semifinals to set up a city derby in the final. That has provided Barcelona with renewed hope after the defending champion wrote itself off. Leader Atletico lost 2-0 at Levante, while Madrid needed a stoppage-time goal from Cristiano Ronaldo to draw 2-2 against Valencia at home. That came after Atletico beat Chelsea 3-1 at Stamford Bridge and Madrid routed Bayern 4-0 in Munich in midweek. Chelsea went on to draw 0-0 on Sunday against Norwich to virtually fall out of contention in the Premier League race. "Specifically on the physical front. Atletico and Chelsea had the same problem (as us)," Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said after the teams draw. "You cant give your maximum intensity like that and not pay the price for it." Atletico is still the front-runner as it needs only four points from its final two games -- against Malaga at home this Sunday before the trip to Barcelona on May 18. Atletico leads with 88 points and Barcelona is second with 85. Madrid has 83 points but with three games remaining, starting with Wednesdays match at Real Valladolid that will see the standings set for the last two rounds. "We cant forget that we depend on ourselves," Atletico captain Gabi Fernandez said. "Were 115 days from tasting glory, so weve got to keep fighting.dddddddddddd." Atletico holds the head-to-head tiebreaker over Madrid, so even wins for Real at Valladolid, at Celta Vigo, and home to Espanyol wouldnt be enough unless Atletico drops points. "I only trust in Madrid and no other team. We have to do our job and see what happens," Madrid defender Marcelo said. "First off, we have to win our games. We cant worry about other teams, we need to worry about ourselves, win, and then see." Ronaldos turn-of-his-boot volley to stab in a 92nd-minute cross allowed Madrid to remain in the race. "Cristianos goal was very, very important because if we had lost it would have meant we lost any chance of winning the league," Ancelotti said. "It was a key play. Weve got three games left, and on Wednesday well play better." Barcelona looked to have given up on winning a fifth title in six years after conceding a stoppage-time equalizer to relegation-battling Getafe in a 2-2 draw on Saturday. Now, suddenly, Barcelona remains in the hunt, but needs Madrid to drop points to have a chance to avoid a first season without a major trophy since 2007. If Atletico and Barcelona end up tied on points, Barcelona will hold the head-to-head advantage as that scenario will arrive only with the titleholder beating Atletico on the final day. "One day someone said this league was boring, and now its very fun," Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone said. "What we have left is a couple of rounds of pure football." ' ' '
