LONG BEACH Rashad Fenton Jersey nfl draft , Calif. (AP) — oints” through the first three races of the IndyCar season.There’s been nothing spectacular about his start to the season — finishes of fifth, ninth and fifth and five total laps led — but it could be the strategy that leads him to his first IndyCar championship. Rossi learned last year in losing the title to Scott Dixon that salvaging decent finishes on mediocre days is the clearest path to a title.“The big thing is minimizing the bad days,” Rossi said Friday. “Last year, if we look at us compared to Scott, we were pretty much the same across the board except the days where I had a 12th or 15th, he’d have a fifth or a ninth.”Next up is Sunday’s race on the temporary street course in downtown Long Beach. Rossi won from the pole last season, the first of three victories that put him in a race to the finale with five-time champion Dixon.Rossi had a small setback at the start of his weekend when a cut tire in Friday’s first practice session shortened his track time because Andretti Autosport didn’t want to burn another set of tires. He understood the need to look at the bigger picture, which he’s done through the first three races. He thought his fifth-place finish at Barber last week was close to a victory for him because of his previous struggles at the Alabama track, and he’s fourth in the standings.Only problem? Dixon, also winless so far this season, is second in the standings and was fastest in Friday’s second practice. Rossi was sixth in that session, behind teammate Ryan Hunter-Reay, who was fastest in the morning and right behind Dixon in the afternoon.The second session was competitive with 19 of the 23 drivers separated by less than a second.“It’s a lot closer than I thought,” said Hunter-Reay, a previous Long Beach winner.Dixon and teammate Felix Rosenqvist put two Chip Ganassi Racing cars in the top-three of the second practice, while Andretti had three cars in top 10 and Team Penske had two cars.Dixon, typically a slow starter every year Rashad Fenton Jersey Womens , already has a pair of runner-up finishes this season. He credited rookie teammate Rosenqvist for elevating the Ganassi program.“The car feels like it’s in the window, we’re just trying to make it a little easier to drive,” said Dixon. “It’s quite nice that Felix and I have a pretty similar feeling. I haven’t had that kind of crossover for a few years. He’s a big talent. It’s great to work with him. He’s a good person, someone that’s definitely going to push the team hard but also I think someone that’s bright for the future of IndyCar, which is definitely needed.”Rossi doesn’t seem concerned, focused only on scoring his first win of the season and not approaching Long Beach as if it’s the track where his season must hit another gear.“I’d like a trophy because I’m just annoyed we haven’t gotten one yet,” he said. “I think we’re very much in touch. It’s a long season. There’s so many guys now that we can talk about, list off that are going to win races this year. You’re not going to have guys win five races any more, I don’t think.“So it’s about the days you’re not winning, to be close enough, always being in the conversation, right? You can’t have weekends where you qualify 16th, 17th. You need to always be in the top six or seven, every week. I think if you can do that, naturally, it’s just going to come.” OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Friday a local prosecutor has reopened a domestic violence investigation involving suspended wide receiver Tyreek Hill after a TV station broadcast audio in which Hill and his fiancee discuss injuries to their 3-year-old son.Reid and general manager Brett Veach both declined comment about Hill’s case and potential next steps involving their star player. The prosecutor Rashad Fenton Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys , Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe, did not return a message.“I’m not going to have too much to add,” Veach said in response to multiple questions about Hill. “As I said yesterday, we’re going to continue to gather information, evaluate information and, as I said yesterday, we’ll make the right decision when the time is appropriate.”Police were called to Hill’s home twice last month and determined the child had been injured. On Wednesday, Howe said he would not file charges against Hill or Crystal Espinal even though his office believed a crime had occurred . He said available evidence didn’t establish who had hurt the child.“As a prosecutor, as a father of four, yes, it frustrates me when someone hurts a child and you can’t do anything about it,” Howe said then. “One of the elements of a crime is you have to prove who that person is who committed the act.”A day later, KCTV in Kansas City aired part of an 11-minute audio file in which Espinal tells Hill earlier this year that when the boy was asked about his injured arm he replied: “Daddy did it.”Hill denied any role in what happened to the child, saying: “He says Daddy does a lot of things.”Espinal also tells Hill their son is “terrified of you.”Hill replies, “You need to be terrified of me, too, bitch.”Later Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys Stitched , Espinal asks Hill, “What do you do when the child is bad? You make him open up his arms and you punch him in the chest.”Howe has not responded to requests for comment about the audio recording, which the TV station said has been provided to his office. KCTV said the recording is believed to have been made in March when the parents were walking through an airport in Dubai. The station said Espinal sent it to at least one friend and was shared with KCTV “by someone who is concerned about the welfare of the couple’s child.”Several media outlets reported that Overland Park police went to the Hill home on Thursday night after receiving an anonymous call from someone worried about Espinal. According to the reports, Espinal was fine and officers were at the home for only a short time.The Chiefs have suspended Hill while the team looks into the developments. The NFL could also punish Hill under its personal conduct policy.Hill’s history with Espinal is well known. In 2015, he pleaded guilty to domestic assault and battery by strangulation in an incident involving his then-pregnant girlfriend the previous year. The incident resulted in his dismissal from the Oklahoma State football team and he was put on probation until August 2018. He wound up playing at tiny West Alabama, where he juggled school and football with counseling sessions and other court-mandated service work until the NFL came calling.Hill, a fifth-round pick who is a two-time Pro Bowler, was part of a controversial draft class by the Chiefs and then-general manager John Dorsey in 2016.The Chiefs also spent a third-round pick that year on cornerback KeiVarae Russell, who missed an entire season for violating Notre Dame’s honor code in an academic misconduct case; a fourth-round pick on wide receiver Demarcus Robinson, who was suspended four times at Florida for drugs and other violations; and a sixth-round pick on Virginia Tech linebacker Dadi Nicolas, who was once charged with larceny and suspended for bumping an official. Among them, only Robinson is still on the roster.Last year, the Chiefs released star running back Kareem Hunt following a video that showed him pushing and kicking a woman in a hotel hallway. Hunt is suspended for the first eight games of the upcoming season but has a one-year deal with Cleveland under Dorsey, the Browns GM who signed Hunt while he was with the Chiefs.
