Anthem: The Minnesota Vikings' cheerleaders line up to Cheap Ravens Jerseys sing the Star Spangled Banner before kick off

The show at Wembley began when British rapper Tinie Tempah took to the stage to perform a set, with the help of a team of cheerleaders from the Minnesota Vikings.

Gene Simmons, the lead singer of Kiss, then took the microphone to perform the American national anthem before Laura Wright sang God Save The Queen.

The players were then welcomed onto the pitch by smoke machines and stunning pyrotechnics.

British boxer David Haye and Cheryl Cole were among the celebrities to attend the game, watching among fans, some of which had travelled thousands of miles to support their team.

The Geordie pop star tweeted after the match: 'My first NFL American football game at Wembley Stadium and the team I decided to support won.'

Both teams were looking for the first win of the season after suffering a poor start to their respective campaigns.

Greg Jennings made two touchdown catches, Adrian Peterson ran for two scores and the Vikings' defense made a big stop with time running out to preserve a 34 27 win over the Steelers on Sunday for their first win of the season.

Playing at Wembley Stadium, Everson Griffen stripped Ben Roethlisberger on the 6 yard line with 19 seconds left. Kevin Williams recovered to seal the victory.

Jennings made a 70 yard catch and run for a touchdown and Peterson had a 60 yard score to help offset two scores by Pittsburgh rookie running back Le'Veon Bell.

After the game, Peterson, who plays running back for the Minnesota Vikings said Wembley was, 'full of energy, atmosphere was electric, coming out that tunnel felt like a home game.'

The US's most popular sport is in the middle of a serious export drive, and is looking to make inroads into a market usually seen as the home of the other type of football, soccer.

Finally . . . a winner. Minneapolis vote totals now confirm what seemed clear Tuesday night. Thursday more than 50 hours after the polls closed officials finally confirmed that Betsy Hodges had been elected the next mayor of Minneapolis. It was an anticlimactic conclusion to a process carried out publicly, and in excruciating detail, over the course of three days of counting." The reporters talk about the fallout over the counting process: "Minneapolis residents got a cold dose of the reality of ranked choice voting Thursday, as the excitement they felt about picking first, second and third choices for mayor on Tuesday gave way to the tedium of tallying those votes in the hours and days since."

He was transfered to Our Lady of Mink!? Jean Hopfensperger and Tony Kennedy of the Strib write: "A Catholic priest who was sued more than a decade ago for alleged sexual abuse of a child was sued again Thursday on behalf of another victim for abuse that allegedly took place after the priest was moved to an Edina parish in the mid 1970s. The lawsuit in Ramsey County District Court against the Rev. Jerome C. Kern also names the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis on civil charges related to placing Kern around children in parish settings. The suit alleges that the archdiocese moved the priest to Our Lady of Grace Church in Edina in the early 1970s after parents of two young teenage boys at St. Mark's Church in St. Paul complained to archdiocese officials that Kern molested the boys during a swimming outing at Lake Nokomis in the summer of 1969."

At MPR, Laura Yuen says: "Kern is the latest Catholic priest to be implicated in the growing scandal of clergy sex abuse in the Twin Cities. The lawsuit filed Thursday morning by St. Paul attorney Jeff Anderson on behalf of a man in his 50s alleges Kern abused him starting when he was 12 years old while Kern was working at Our Lady of Grace in Edina during the 1970s. The man, identified only as Plaintiff Doe 26, said the archdiocese knew or should have known that Kern was a child molester before it placed him there. [Jamie] Heutmaker said he and his friend Charlie Turning and some other children went to Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis, where Kern touched their genitals while playing with them in the water. Church memos obtained by St. Paul attorney Jeff Anderson show that archdiocese officials were skeptical of Kern's claims that he was simply engaging in what he called 'Italian wrestling' in which he said men grasp at each other's genitals." Do not let any stand up comic near that line.

The National Journal got in the act over the Washington football team's nickname. Matt Vasilogambros writes: "Thursday night's game between two middling teams, . Washington . and Minnesota Vikings, might not offer sports fans much in the way of exciting athleticism. But it has given opponents of the [team's] name an opening for their fight. Council passed a resolution this week calling on owner Dan Snyder to change the name of the football team, calling it offensive and racist. Mayor Vincent Gray also came out in favor of a name change. Snyder has long said that the . name is not offensive and that the team's history should be honored. But now, politicians outside of the District are getting involved in the debate. [Washington is] in Minnesota on Thursday, a state that is home to many Native Americans. And what makes this game different is that it is being played in a public facility."

Likewise, the governor added his opinion. Baird Helgeson of the Strib reports: "Gov. Mark Dayton jumped into the controversy surrounding the Washington['s] name on Thursday, saying the NFL team's name is 'racist' and 'offensive.' 'I believe the name should be changed,' the DFLer said at a news conference. 'It's antiquated and offensive in our present context.' House Minority Leader Kurt Daudt, R Crown, said he didn't think the name needed to change. That's the cap set by the team and the state. But Kelm Helgen said she expects the Cheap Falcons Jerseys stadium's eye catching look to remain unchanged."

A new veterans cemetery . Stribber Paul Walsh says: "A new cemetery in southeastern Minnesota is in the works for veterans, and several dignitaries will attend Friday's ceremonial groundbreaking. The 169 acre burial site is located just off Hwy. 52 in Preston and is scheduled to open in 2015. The land was donated by Fillmore County and the city, with $10 million in funding for construction coming from the Federal Cemetery Administration to the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs."

Not exactly an inconspicuous gathering Jim Anderson of the Strib covers the mayors' lunch: "St. Paul May Chris Cole re elect to a third term Tues in a land and Bet Hodges, who for now car the awk title of pre of Minneapolis, met for lunch Thurs on Hodges' home turf at the IDS Center in down Minneapolis. Cole and Hodges have been friends for a long time he en her can She is form president of the Cheap Cardinals Jerseys League of Minnesota Cities, and he takes over next week as president of the National League of Cities. Cole also pre Hodges with a framed art piece ti '612/651' by St. The letters were sent Wednesday to people in the Como neighborhood in Minneapolis, which is situated north of the University of Minnesota and between Interstate 35W and Minnesota 280. While the letters informed residents of potential health concerns, they also stressed that more investigation is needed to evaluate the actual risk . 'The soil vapor in question is trichloroethylene, commonly known as TCE,' the news release states. 'It was used as an industrial solvent at a former General Mills research facility at 2010 E. Hennepin Ave. in Minneapolis in the 1940s until the early 1960s.' During the time period, TCE was disposed of in a pit on the property, and the contaminated site has been known for more than 30 years. With monitoring by the state, General Mills pumped and treated groundwater at the site to remove the TCE for 25 years."

Remember when DFLer Ryan Winkler called Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas an "Uncle Thomas" for his vote striking down a key component of the Voting Rights Act? Well, blogger John Gilmore not only remembers it, he isn't Cheap Ravens Jerseys letting the liberally biased Minnesota press forget how they treated Winkler. " Winkler made The Drudge Report by tweeting that Justice Clarence Thomas was an Uncle Tom. Often over looked was his equally repulsive claim that the other four justices in the majority decision were 'accomplices to race discrimination.' the local media took down every insincere, ass covering word Winkler uttered in a panic to salvage his career and left it at that. DFL handlers handled their Eddie Haskell, and otherwise fierce seekers of truth and power holding accountable types merely repeated what was said. No hard questions. No outrage. No suggestion that the tweet betrayed a mindset unfit for public office."

So no more worried looks from Tim Sherno amidst the references to 'confusion' and 'controversy' over the counting? I don't think the process went any differently than people who had thought about it or a moment thought it would, and there was no controversy or confusion. Digitalizing the process (2017) will make it nearly instantanious. The local media got some run out of it.

What they could have done to really speed it up was just eliminate those with no chance, rather than precisely determine if they finished 25 or 26.

The National Football League has just lost another player and, once again, injury and age have nothing to do with it. John Moffitt announced yesterday that he's quitting the Denver Broncos. Immediately.

"I think it's really madness to risk your body, risk your well being and risk your happiness for money," Moffitt told The Associated Press. "Everybody, they just don't get it and they think it's crazy. But I think what I was doing is crazy." Moffitt says he doesn't want to be a "poster boy" for anti football crusaders. Too late for that. The fact is he just told the NFL to take its meat pulverizer of a job and shove it.

This is every bit as striking as Jonathan Martin leaving the Miami Dolphins after being Russell Wilson Womens Jersey bullied by his own teammates. Moffitt is not some marginal veteran on a hapless team. He is a 27 year old guard for the 7 1 Broncos. Having devoted his life to football, he is now quitting halfway through his third season, leaving more than $1 million in guaranteed income on the table.

Martin left the Dolphins in a state of emotional distress. Moffitt seems to be at peace. This may have something to do with his spending the past two years studying the writings of the Dalai Lama, which must have made for some amusing conversation in the Broncos locker room. (How's this for a motivational half time speech? "Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them." No? How about: "Through violence, you may 'solve' one problem, but you sow the seeds for another.")

Both players are walking away from riches and glory for the michael kors outlet store same reason: Because football is a violent game. In Martin's case, it was the brutal culture that drove him away. (His teammate Richie Incognito may be the official villain in the bullying story, but the team's coaches never discouraged his behavior.) Moffitt's departure was spurred by the violence itself, and its potential to inflict long term damage on him.

It's not exactly a revelation that football is a violent, dangerous game, but fans are only starting to learn just how violent, just how dangerous. Another former Bronco, Nate Jackson, offered up a graphic account of life in the NFL in his recent memoir, the title of which says it all: "Slow Getting Up." For further confirmation, consider Washington Redskins safety Brandon Meriweather, who has vowed not to change his style of play despite being suspended for deliberate helmet to helmet hits.

In Moffitt, we have a player discount red bottom shoes in the prime of his career who could michael kors factory outlet very well be bound for the Super Bowl this year. Instead, he's walking away from the game mid season, saying his job is "crazy." It's increasingly difficult to reach any other conclusion.
