FLORHAM PARK, N. Nike Air Max 90 Mens Australia .J. -- Darrelle Revis still is upset with Bill Belichick. The All-Pro cornerback said Thursday that the way the Patriots coach "disrespects" the New York Jets is uncalled for and not professional. "When you make it personal, when you say things that are personal, why go there?" Revis said of derogatory comments he believes Belichick made last season, particularly after a 37-16 home loss to New England. "When you are talking about having a better defence, OK. But when you say they can suck ... or whatever. "Its a sport. Hey, we shook your hands after the game. Then it gets too personal, without anything said from our side. They can feel they are better than us, just dont get personal." Revis called Belichick "a jerk" in March on a TV show. He doesnt deny that Belichick is a top coach. Its his approach that annoys Revis. "Thats disrepect," Revis said. Asked about his contract status, Revis said he is "cool" with his current deal, which has two years to run and came out of a lengthy, contentious holdout in 2010. He says he is not thinking about another holdout, but didnt completely dismiss it. "Lets quit talking about holding out and holding in," he said after an off-season team workout Thursday. "I have two more years on my contract. I am cool. I am not unhappy about anything." But he also believes hes outperformed the deal that pays him about $46 million over four years, with $32 million guaranteed. Philadelphias Nnamdi Asomugha signed for $60 million over five years last summer. "I dont need to say that," Revis said. "It speaks for itself. "I dont need to be a distraction to this team. I am a part of the roster. I am in the contract I am in now and right now I am with the team and working out and trying to get ready for the season. Even if my representative and (the team) start discussing it, my focus is with the team." Revis is considered the best cover cornerback in the league and Jets coach Rex Ryan was instrumental in getting the last contract stalemate resolved. Considering how the Jets fell apart late last season, Ryan certainly doesnt want his star defender distracted by his salary. Revis called the 2011 season "disgusting." "It was 8-8," he said. "Thats not good. But we are not 8-8 now. We are not that team." Nike Air Max 90 Womens Black And White . -- Jon Lester got a rousing ovation the first time he pitched in an Oakland uniform. Nike Air Max 2015 Cheap Australia .C. -- Al Jefferson is happy he didnt make the All-Star game. MANCHESTER, England -- As statements of intent go, it couldnt have been much bigger. "If we only consider this season," Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini said, "there is just one club in Manchester -- and its ours." That comment -- an eye-catching one from a coach usually so reserved in front of the media -- was made last month ahead of a Champions League game against Barcelona. To some, it was a mere statement of fact, with City 12 points ahead of United in the Premier League at the time and still in contention for trophies on four fronts. To others, it was unnecessary goading. And it no doubt will have hit a nerve over at Old Trafford, at a club that is the reigning English champion and had ruled football in the city for the past three decades. For that reason, United may take even more pleasure than usual if it can beat City in Tuesdays Manchester derby at Old Trafford. "Well, Manchester United had lots and lots of seasons of domination," Moyes said Monday, when asked about Pellegrinis comment. "I dont think if I was a manager I would have turned round and necessarily said that we were the only club in Manchester because football does change, it goes in cycles." "I think its important for us to show the level weve got," Moyes added, "and that were not as far away as many people would have us." For the first time in a generation, City will head across town as the favourite to beat its fiercest rival at Old Trafford. United is down in seventh place in the standings after a turbulent first season under Moyes and City, to many, is the team most likely to be raising the Premier League trophy on May 11. Pelllegrinis side is six points behind first-place Chelsea with three games in hand. Nike Air Max 90 Vt Camo. If it wins its remaining 11 games, City cannot be stopped. "We always expect to go and win," said a confident Pellegrini, whose first Manchester derby ended in a 4-1 victory for his side in September. "Its not just because Manchester United has had a difficult season (that) we are going to go there and win." That derby defeat was Uniteds first crushing loss under Moyes this season -- and a few more have followed over the next six months. But what a difference a week has made for the United manager. He woke last Monday to scathing headlines after an embarrassing 3-0 home loss to Liverpool, with suggestions abound that his time could be up if United was eliminated from the Champions League. Seven days later and bolstered by two victories in a four-day span that kept the team in Europe and got it back on track in the league, Moyes was clicking his fingers as he walked cheerily through the clubs training complex and sitting a little comfier in his chair at the pre-match news conference. Its been that kind of season for Alex Fergusons replacement -- a massive low one week followed by a big high the next. Theres been no consistency and of the many alarming statistics to blight Moyes short reign, one perhaps stands out -- United has just one win this campaign against a team in the current top nine. "We want to try to perform better in the bigger games than weve done, Ive got no doubt about that," said Moyes, whose team is 18 points behind Chelsea. "Ive got no doubt it will improve, and I want us to show were still in there fighting." Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '
