ESPN reporter Holly Rowe was just out of surgery one day in February to remove a malignant tumor from her chest. She would tweet that surgery went well, but in reality, it was one of the lowest points of my life.She lay on the ground, unsure how she could get past the pain and the nausea. I felt mutilated, Rowe said. I felt broken.Then she saw a tweet from Pittsburgh football coach Pat Narduzzi. It was a short, 10-second video of running back James Conner, who had been diagnosed with Hodgkins lymphoma last December, running drills with a mask on after one of his chemotherapy treatments.I was shocked, Rowe said. I watched it over and over again. How is this kid doing this?That day, Rowe got up from the floor and walked three miles on the treadmill.Because of James Conner, Rowe said. Because he showed me what strength looks like.Rowe was brought to tears standing alongside fellow cancer survivor Shelley Smith when they introduced Conner, winner of the 2016 Disney Sports Spirit Award on Thursday at The Home Depot College Football Awards.The award, which recognizes college footballs most inspirational figure, and the moment -- from the 680-person standing ovation to the chants of his name -- brought Conner himself to tears when talking to ESPNs Tom Rinaldi. Conner dedicated his entire season -- the 1,060 rushing yards and 20 total touchdowns -- to everyone else who was fighting their own battle.With that cancer, it dont care if youre black or white, Conner said. It comes, and it comes hard. ... Theres people fighting and they dont get this, they dont receive any awards if they win and when they win, and so this is for all of us.Conner, the 2014 ACC Player of the Year, revealed his diagnosis last December. He promised to not fear cancer, not even through the 12 chemotherapy sessions.During his speech, he talked about the other people who impacted him. Like 5-year-old Andrew ONeill, whose wish was to meet him. And Smith, who beat breast cancer last year to return to broadcasting for ESPN. And Rowe.We have a bond that cant be broken, Conner said about Smith and Rowe. Them, we best friends now. To everybody going through this, they got a friend in me.

Größentabelle Schuhe Adidas . LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse. West Bromwich Albion will soon become the latest English football club to be bought out by Chinese investors.The Premier League team said Friday that Yunyi Guokai (Shanghai) Sports Development Limited, headed by entrepreneur Lai Guochuan, will complete a takeover of the club, subject to approval by the league and English financial authorities.Lai oversaw the development of the landscaping company Palm, which started out as a plant nursery business and now develops eco-towns in China and is worth 1.8 million pounds ($2.36 million). He has purchased an 88 percent stake in the club owned by chairman Jeremy Peace, who is stepping down.West Brom said the financial terms of the deal are private and confidential between the parties. Peace, who has invited offers for investment since 2008, had reportedly valued West Brom at 150 million pounds ($200 million).In a statement, the 42-year-old Lai described himself as a lifelong football fan and said he was excited and privileged to become the new owner of West Brom, which has been in Englands top division since 2010.West Brom said Lai was drawn to the club by its history, community focus and dedicated fan base.My immediate priorities will be to maintain the clubs stable structure, respecting its well-run nature and its heritage, said Lai, who will remain based in China but promised to frequently attend matches at The Hawthorns. I have no intention of changing the clubs ethos.Lai joins a growing number of wealthy Chinese tycoons and companies making splashy investments in English football.Aston Villa, which was relegated from the Premier Leaguee last season for the first time, was taken over by Chinese businessman Xia Jiantong in June.dddddddddddd Second-tier team Wolverhampton Wanderers was bought out by Chinese conglomerate Fosun International in July in a 100 percent takeover. And a Chinese firm bought a stake in Birmingham, another League Championship club.West Brom, Villa, Wolves and Birmingham are all clubs in central England.Manchester City also announced in December that China Media Capital Holdings and CITIC Capital were investing $400 million to buy 13 percent of the Premier League clubs umbrella organization.Lai said in a personal message to West Brom fans on the clubs website that China was entering a golden age for football.China has a massive football fan base, which has only been growing in the past years, he said. There is also a real commitment, strongly supported by the government, to develop football and its culture in China, and I am convinced that this transaction will serve to reinforce the love of football, while bringing West Bromwich Albion millions of new dedicated fans.Peace stands down after 14 years in the role. He will stay on in an advisory capacity for the coming season, which begins in a weeks time. He will be replaced as chairman by John Williams, who previously had the same role at the English club Blackburn.I believe this deal will enable Albion to build on the strong, sustainable foundations that have been the cornerstone of the clubs progress, Peace said.
