ATLANTA - Colts owner Jim Irsay is handling pro football business again, leading Indianapolis bid for the 2018 Super Bowl. nike air max 90 hyperfuse prezzo . Irsay underwent treatment after he was arrested for having $29,000 in cash and bottles of prescription drugs in his car. The NFL owners meetings are Irsays first public appearance since the arrest. Irsay, 54, said Monday he is "feeling decent," but would not say if he would address his personal situation with the owners on Tuesday, insisting he is in Atlanta representing the bid committee. "Im here, if you want to talk about the Super Bowl bid or the Colts, Im here to answer that," Irsay said. "Im not going to really say anything beyond that." Irsay faces four felony counts of possession of controlled substances. He likely will be disciplined by the league at some point. Asked if his arrest could affect the Indianapolis bid, Irsay was evasive. "Im excited about the bid and the job weve done in the past," he said. "I know in terms of trying to intertwine questions, that is your job, but Im not really addressing those issues. Im here like always to try to get this Super Bowl for Indianapolis." He said hes kept informed on team affairs, although the Colts are being run by his daughter, Carlie, and general manager Ryan Grigson. "I havent been in a coma or anything like that," Irsay said. "Ive been clued into everything thats been going on the last few months. Its good to be at this meeting, really kind of focus on the Super Bowl bid. Im really not going to talk about any personal medical issues or that sort of thing, but just grateful to be back, and certainly have a lot of appreciation for the support Ive received. Im all in. "It feels good to be back and Im excited about our chances tomorrow." Indianapolis, which hosted a highly successful Super Bowl in 2012 when the Giants beat the Patriots, is competing with New Orleans and Minneapolis for the 2018 game. Irsay sounded eager to get back into the daily work of running his franchise, although he admitted he is not finished with his rehab. "Its a love. The league is dear to me," he said. "Family business, youre blessed to be part of something like that. Its a great privilege to be part of the NFL; you dont take for granted ... you just treasure it. I kind of feel like were getting ready for a big game. Its one of those win-lose situations." ___ AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL adidas zx flux prezzo . Fresh from helping the Czech Republic beat Argentina in the Davis Cup semifinals, Berdych beat Yen-hsun Lu of Taiwan 7-6 (7), 6-4 to maintain his record of never losing before the semifinals in Thailand. adidas zx flux prezzo . -- After enjoying the chance to watch Toronto beat Anaheim, the San Jose Sharks took advantage of a tired Maple Leafs team to move closer to the Ducks in the standings.ST. MORITZ, Switzerland -- Tina Weirather owes her immense skiing talent to her parents, who were both Alpine world champions. Only fitting then that the Liechtenstein racer should deliver a perfect birthday present to her mother, two-time Olympic gold medallist Hanni Wenzel. Weirather won a World Cup super-G race in St. Moritz on Saturday on her mothers 57th birthday -- and at the same resort where Wenzel became the slalom world champion in 1974. Weirather timed 1 minute, 17.38 seconds to finally climb atop the podium after finishing runner-up three times already this season. Kajsa Kling of Sweden was second, 0.31 seconds back, and Anna Fenninger of Austria trailed by 0.39 in third. Mother and daughter shared a celebratory hug in the finish area after the victory on a near-perfect still, sunny day in the Swiss Alps. "I had a parcel for her but this first place will be a bigger present," Weirather said at her winners news conference. Weirathers flair for speed certainly follows her father, Harti Weirather, who won downhill gold at the 1982 World Championships staged at Schladming in his native Austria. St. Moritz seems like the familys favourite place though, after Wenzels slalom gold and combined silver here when the 1974 worlds were held at the high-end resort just 120 kilometres (75 miles) from the border with tiny Liechtenstein. "I think its an awesome story because she was world champion," the 24-year-old Weirather said. "Now shes here and its her birthday." Weirather has podium finishes in three disciplines this season, suggesting she can challenge for the overall World Cup title her mother won in 1978 aand 80. nike air max 2015 prezzo. Weirather earned 100 race points Saturday and moved up to second overall, trailing 37 behind Lara Gut of Switzerland. Gut was the pre-race favourite on a course where she earned her first World Cup win as a precocious 17-year-old in 2008, but placed seventh, 1.12 back. Gut also retained her lead in the super-G standings. Lindsey Vonn of the United States, who won this race last year, skipped the St. Moritz meet which concludes with a giant slalom on Sunday. Vonn has chosen a lighter World Cup schedule to manage a knee injury before the Sochi Olympics. Kling almost spoiled the family party, continuing her breakthrough season at age 24. She never had a top-10 finish in a World Cup race before the downhill last Saturday at Lake Louise, Canada, and now has three in eight days. "Ive been working a lot with the physical training and mentally, because Im really nervous and now Ive learned to handle it at the start," Kling said. After a stellar 2013 season, the U.S. team is still seeking a first podium finish after six speed races in this World Cup campaign. Stacey Cook was best-placed in 16th, 1.74 behind, and Julia Mancuso was 20th, 1.92 back. Weirathers second career World Cup victory was also her second in super-G. She won in March at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. She still has a long way to go to equal her mothers 33 World Cup wins, eighth on the all-time list. Wenzels Olympic record will also take some catching: Four medals including slalom and giant slalom golds at the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics. It is still early in the Sochi Olympic season, but Weirather is pointed in the right direction. wholesale nfl jerseys cheap jerseys from china ' ' '
