PRO FOOTBALLEDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is expected to miss at least the next season while recovering from a dislocated left knee and torn anterior cruciate ligament after a freak practice injury.Bridgewater was taken by ambulance to a hospital after crumpling to the turf during practice, and the team announced hours later that his knee also had other structural damage that will need to be repaired in a surgery that will be scheduled in the coming days. But the team did say he had no nerve or arterial damage and it expects a full recovery after a significant rehabilitation.Bridgewater suffered a non-contact knee injury while dropping back to pass, and it was so jolting that coach Mike Zimmer immediately ended practice. Players were visibly distraught as they left the field, some hurling expletives into the air and others kneeling in prayer for one of the teams most popular players. Moments later, a siren-blaring ambulance rushed to team headquarters to get the quarterback to the hospital.TENNISNEW YORK -- Ivo Karlovic hit 61 aces, the most in a U.S. Open match, during his five-set victory in the first round.The 6-foot-11 Croatian broke the previous record of 49, established by Richard Krajicek in a 1999 quarterfinal loss.Karlovic, who is seeded 21st, beat Yen-hsun Lu of Taiwan 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-7 (4), 7-6 (5), 7-5, holding in 28 of his 29 service games.Karlovic finished with 10 double-faults.He hit 22 aces in the second set alone -- twice as many as Andy Murray produced in his entire three-set victory Tuesday night.The record for most aces in a match is 113, set by John Isner during the longest match in tennis history, his victory over Nicolas Mahut that ended 70-68 in the fifth set during Wimbledons first round in 2010.BASEBALLLOS ANGELES -- Tim Tebow has taken his first big swing at a baseball career, showing off a powerful bat and a few areas of needed improvement in a workout for dozens of major league scouts.The Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback worked out at the University of Southern Californias Dedeaux Field. Scouts and reporters tracked, timed and recorded his every move.Tebows 255-pound muscled physique and 6.70-ish time in the 60-yard dash were impressive. So was a series of long homers into the trees and off the scoreboard.The 29-year-old outfield hopeful also showed he still needs baseball seasoning. Former big-leaguers David Aardsma and Chad Smith repeatedly fooled him with off-speed pitches later in the hitting drills.Tebows representative would like to see him in instructional league play starting in September.COLLEGE FOOTBALLSALT LAKE CITY -- A University of Southern California football player is being investigated on suspicion of sexual assault in Utah.Police documents show authorities are looking into allegations against linebacker Osa Masina stemming from a July 30 incident.Police Lt.

Randal Grichuk Jersey . Clarke was injured while practicing on the Doha Golf Club range after the pro-am on Tuesday.

Aaron Sanchez Jersey . Oaklands loss to Seattle clinched the ALs best record for the Red Sox with one day to spare in the regular season. "I think everybody was kind of watching," catcher David Ross said. "Demp (Ryan Dempster) came out before he went to the bullpen and was just yelling that they lost. http://www.officialbluejaysgearshop.com/Blue-Jays-Ja-Happ-Kids-Jersey/ . Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek defeated Nenad Zimonjic and Ilija Bozoljac 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (4) on the indoor hard-court at Belgrade Arena. The victory improved the Czech pairs impressive cup doubles record to 14-1. Troy Tulowitzki Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Devon Travis Jersey . While hell be dialed in to that tournament on a course he loves, you can forgive him if his eyes glance down the calendar just a bit, towards April. Plenty of points for Klay Thompson. Plenty of everything, as usual, for Russell Westbrook.On a momentous night in the NBA, Thompson had the biggest game with a career-high 60 points and Westbrook continued his sensational season with a sixth straight triple-double.An 11-game schedule stole the show Monday on a night thats long belonged to the NFL. There were so many mesmerizing performances that even otherwise great ones werent good enough to get much notice.Thompsons topped them all, with a 40-point first half in under 19 minutes of Golden States 142-106 victory over Indiana.Thats a feat that I put money on will probably never be touched ever again in the history of basketball, teammate Stephen Curry said.Marc Gasol had a triple-double and James Harden wasnt far off, but Westbrook does that every night. He had 32 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists in Oklahoma Citys 102-99 victory at Atlanta, giving him the NBAs longest streak of triple-doubles since Michael Jordan had seven in a row in 1989.Obviously, the league hasnt seen something like this in a long, long time, Thunder coach Billy Donovan said.A look at some other noteworthy developments around the league:KLAYS PLAY: Thompson, who already owns the NBA record with 37 points in a quarter, might have scored many more in this one if the Warriors werent so explosive. He checked out after just 29 minutes and less than three quarters and thought something like 80 couldve been in play if he couldve stayed on the floor.Maybe. I think I could have, maybe one day Ill have the opportunity, he said. But 60 in 29 minutes is not too bad.BEST IN THE WEST: Westbrook, who is averaging a triple-double, was chosen Western Conference player of the week Monday and is probably the leader in the race for the NBAs biggest individual prize, the MVP. He has 11 triple-doubles in 22 games, has led the Thunder to six straight wins and has been so good that hes overshadowing guys like Haarden and Kevin Durant, who are having MVP-caliber seasons themselves.ddddddddddddJust think about what Russell is doing and then theres two, three other guys who are playing great but because of what Russell is doing ... the other guys, you really havent paid attention to, Hall of Famer Magic Johnson said earlier Monday.LEBRON LEADS: Cleveland had lost three straight and then lost guard J.R. Smith to injury early in its game at Toronto, which had won six in a row and would have overtaken the Cavaliers for the top spot in the Eastern Conference with a victory.Instead, LeBron James scored a season-high 34 points as the defending champions got back on track with a 116-112 victory.I just came out and played the game and the game was flowing very well for me, James said. The shot was feeling very well.MEN IN THE MIDDLE: Gasol had 28 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists for his second career triple-double, and Memphis needed all of it to overcome NBA scoring leader Anthony Davis in a 110-108, double-overtime victory over New Orleans. Davis finished with 28 points and 17 rebounds.THIRTYSOMETHING: Damian Lillard and Dwyane Wade staged a duel in Chicago, with Lillards 30 points helping Portland overcome Wades 34 in a 112-110 victory. The Lakers Lou Williams went for 38 points in a 107-101 loss to Utah, following his 40-point game in Memphis two nights earlier for the first back-to-back 30-point games of his 12-year NBA career.INJURY ISSUES: Two of the NBAs best teams lost guards to knee injuries Monday. Smith will return to Cleveland for further examination after getting hurt when he landed after a jumper in the first quarter in Toronto, while Tony Parker left a victory in Milwaukee that kept San Antonio undefeated on the road. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said the veteran could be out a while. ' ' '
