ght we played on edge a bit and then we came out in

SINGAPORE -- Formula One teams have welcomed the commercial takeover of the sport by American company Liberty Media and the prospects of improving the product on and off the track, while cautioning that such changes wont come any time soon.This weekends Singapore Grand Prix is the first since Liberty struck an agreement for an $8 billion staged takeover of the sport, with controlling shareholder CVC Capital selling out and minority shareholders to follow.The new Liberty-installed chairman of Formula One is Chase Carey, an American who formerly ran 21st Century Fox. Accompanied by long-term F1 commercial chief Bernie Ecclestone -- who will stay on for the short term under the new owners -- Carey visited the race paddock at Marina Bay on the weekend and had an opportunity to meet team bosses.Red Bull team principal Christian Horner welcomed a return to hands-on ownership and said Libertys media expertise should boost F1s presence in new media, an area where it is viewed as being slow to capitalize.Rather than having a venture capitalist or a financial institution buying into the sport, its far better that a company like Liberty has bought in and hopefully that will address some of the areas we have been weak in previously, Horner said. Hopefully for the US market it could be a great thing and some of the other platforms like the digital and social platforms could also be very interesting.Liberty does have the capacity to make some changes in the near term -- such as to the season calendar, promotion and media coverage -- but the fundamental changes to the sport that many are urging will need more patient negotiation. Changes to the program of race weekends, rules governing car design and fairer distribution of revenue to teams are governed by the secretive Concorde Agreement -- between the owners, the teams and the FIA, the sports governing body. The latest iteration of that agreement runs through the end of 2020 so big changes to the sport are some way off.Its not so much whats going to happen in 2017 or 18, its what does the future beyond 2020 hold in store, Horner said.Its great theyve come to agreement with Bernie for him to be around for a few years to come, because that intervening period is going to be crucial. He (Carey) is going to have to get himself up to speed with the business and then decide what actions they want to take for the future.Maurizio Arrivabene, the team principal of the sports perennial power Ferrari, said Liberty clearly sees potential to grow the sport, given the amount of money invested, but also said it will take time for them to develop and enact a strategy.Normally what you do when you buy something, you are listening, learning, sharing and acting, Arrivabene said. All these phases are going to happen, and they request good time to make sure that the sport is growing.Cyril Abiteboul, team principal of Renault, hopes the new owners can forge agreement on a better balance between no-holds-barred technological development on the one hand, and close and entertaining racing on the other.A number of partners want to showcase technology, which sometimes goes against the interests of entertainment and the show, Abiteboul said. So it will be interesting to see, with the arrival of a pure player on entertainment and show, how it can impact the product.Guenther Steiner, operational chief of the U.S.-owned Haas team, believes the arrival of a U.S. company should not only boost the sports presence in that key market, but might bring about some blue-sky thinking.There is big potential in the States, so we being an American team, we hope they bring that to fruition, Steiner said. We are more than happy to help them to do anything they need to do in the United States.We are waiting for their plan because maybe they have got some ideas we havent thought of. We are quite stubborn in this business, we just keep on asking for the same. Maybe theyve got some great ideas as we can support them and help them along.Authentic MLB Gear Store .

Cheap New York Yankees Jerseys .Y. -- Syracuse has turned up the defence at the right time all season, and when High Point threatened to pull off a monumental upset the second-ranked Orange did what they do best with their quick hands and savvy play.EUGENE, Ore. -- Troy Dye has appeared in just one college game but already hes grabbing attention with his play -- so much so that he was named Pac-12 defensive player of the week.Even the freshman linebacker was kind of surprised by his opening line in Oregons 53-28 season-opening victory over UC Davis: 11 tackles, including seven solo, 4.5 for loss and a sack. He also blocked a field goal attempt. His overall tackles led the team, and his tackles for loss led the nation.It was the most for an Oregon freshman since Walter Thurmond III had 14 tackles in 2006.The atmosphere was wonderful. It was definitely the atmosphere I expected. But the way I played I didnt expect at all, he said. I went out there and read what I read and played fast and physical like the coaches told me to do. So I mean I just had fun.Dye was also named the Ducks internal defensive player of the week, coach Mark Helfrich said Sunday.Hell no doubt look to build on his debut on Saturday night when the 24th-ranked Ducks host Virginia. The Cavaliers, under new coach Bronco Mendenhall, fell to Richmond 37-20 in their opener.Dye, who was considered among the nations top 30 prospects at safety as a prep player, graduated early from Norco High School in Southern California and arrived in Eugene in time to participate in spring drills. He broke up a pass and had three assisted tackles in the spring game.The 6-foot-4 freshman worked hard through the summer and added 15 pounds to bring him up to 225.He figures to be an important piece of the Ducks defense under new coordinator Brady Hoke, the former Michigan coach, who is installing a new 4-3 scheme.The Ducks needed a defensive makeover. Oregon ranked last in the league by allowwing 37.dddddddddddd5 points per game last season. Defensive lapses included last seasons Alamo Bowl, when the Ducks squandered a 31-0 halftime lead and fell 47-41 in triple overtime to TCU.There was admittedly more work to do following the victory over the Aggies. The Ducks allowed UC Davis 21 points in the second half.There is a ton of stuff we can get better at. Usually, you make the most improvement between games one and two and we have a lot of improvement to make, Hoke said. It was a tale of two halves. In the first half, I thought we played on edge a bit and then we came out in the second half and didnt feel the same edge. We gave up some plays you cant give up.Hoke didnt seem all that surprised about Dyes ability.Hes a very, very good athlete. I think his football instinct IQ is very good. I dont know that absolutely surprised anybody, Hoke said. But there are some things he can do better, too.Helfrich wasnt surprised, either.Everything he does in drills, he just competes his face off and hell hit you, Helfrich said. Hes a guy that weve been very excited about since the day he got here.His teammates say Dye studies hard when it comes to the playbook and game film. He said it helps him play fast and, after Saturdays win, he was already looking forward to seeing the film on the Cavaliers.Its obviously paid off for him to be prepared.Sometimes when I was out there I knew what was coming, Dye said. We watched a lot of film last week and we dissected the offense really well, so I mean there were a lot of indicators and keys that they had so I just read them. ' ' '
