HARRISON, N.J. - For an MLS team that has seen more change than any other, the New York Red Bulls players are expecting more turmoil this off-season now that they know that Thierry Henry wont return.Two days after being eliminated one goal shy the MLS Cup final - and a day after Henry said he was done, the Red Bulls sat rather glumly in front of their lockers on Tuesday reflecting on the past season and contemplating a possibly more upheaval that has come to mark the club.Theres a lot thats going to happen this off-season, (more) than we could even speculate goalkeeper Luis Robles said, noting the expansion draft, trades and the leagues collective bargaining negotiations with the players union. I really feel there a lot of questions up in the air that may not have immediate answers.The Red Bulls have used 250 players since beginning in 1996, 13 more than the next closest MLS team, the Colorado Rapids. Its roster has been highlighted by some of the biggest names in soccer: Lothar Matthaeus, Roberto Donadoni, Youri Djorkaeff and Rafa Marquez.The departure of Henry, 37, will be felt especially by Bradley Wright-Phillips, who equaled MLS single-season scoring record of Roy Lassiter and Chris Wondolowski this season with 27 goals.Its a sad day. Its a sad day, Wright-Phillips said. I never fully accepted it until I heard it was going to be announced. Its going to take some replacing. I dont think you can replace the man.Neither coach Mike Petke nor sporting director Andy Roxburgh made themselves available to reporters to address possible off-season changes.With Australian international midfielder Tim Cahill starting only three of the final nine games of the regular season and only two of five playoff matches, its unclear whether the teams other designated player signed outside the salary cap will return, despite having a year remaining on his contract.Each team is permitted three designated players.Cahill was seen in the players lounge but did not speak with reporters.Others, like midfielder Dax McCarty, 27, who has been with three teams in nine years — the last 2 1/2 with New York — thinks significant change is inevitable.Weve all heard rumours. But obviously when you lose a guy like Thierry, things are going to change, because he was a big part of this team, McCarty said. And for the last 4 1/2 years he was one of the best players in the league.Henry wouldnt comment on how much he expected the team to change, saying it was not far. He said he will most miss the camaraderie, but was quick to emphasize that did not necessarily mean he was retiring.It was always going to be 4 1/2 years, he said.When asked about a possible return to English club Arsenal, where Henry played for eight years, he was equally non-committal.Thats a wish. Christmas is arriving soon, so its a wish, he said. Its a wish. Everybody knows how much I love the club.Whatever Henry does, he said he will keep his New York home.Hopefully theyll let me come back and watch some games, he joked. Luis Gonzalez Jersey . "I just think what it does for everybody in life is real simple," said Babcock early on Friday afternoon. "You dont give in. You just keep on keeping on. Is it going to go your way every time? No. But you choose your attitude and how you perform and how hard you dig in." Nearly four years to the day of the 2010 gold medal match in Vancouver, his team dug in with its best effort of these Olympics, snuffing out the high-powered Americans for another opportunity at gold.

The San Antonio Spurs handled the conditions, and the team, and it sure helped when a suffering LeBron James couldnt make it to the finish. Custom Arizona Diamondbacks Jerseys .Y. -- Syracuse guard Trevor Cooney was mired in a shooting slump, and his woes coincided with a late-season swoon by the Orange.NEW YORK -- Jason Collins dealt with the ticket requests, handled the media responsibilities, then moved on to what he most wants to do in the NBA. "Win basketball games," Collins said. He will get at least a few more chances. Collins played the final minutes of a winning home debut with the Brooklyn Nets, who cooled off the Chicago Bulls with a 96-80 victory Monday night. Finally playing at Barclays Center more than a week after returning to the NBA as the leagues first openly gay player, Collins checked in to a standing ovation from a sellout crowd of 17,732 that included former commissioner David Stern with 2:41 remaining. He committed a foul five seconds later, missed his only shot, grabbed a rebound and had one of the Nets NBA season high-tying 19 steals in their third straight victory. "It was cool. It was a lot of fun to go into the game," Collins said. "The most important thing was that we got the win. Chicagos been playing really well as of late and for us to come out and really be -- I think we played more physical than they did tonight." His first home game wont be his last, because the Nets plan to sign Collins to a second 10-day contract, a person with knowledge of the situation said. Collins signed his original deal on Feb. 23 and it expires Tuesday. The Nets then will re-sign him for another 10 days on Wednesday, the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the plans havent been made public. After that expires, the Nets would have to sign him for the rest of the season if they wanted to keep him. Collins sat at the end of the bench for most of the game while the Nets built a series of comfortable leads, making the only intrigue down the stretch whether the 12-year veteran would get in during his first home appearance for the Nets since Jan. 29, 2008, against Milwaukee in East Rutherford, N.J. A chant of "Jason Collins! Jason Collins!" broke out while Deron Williams was shooting a free throw with the Nets leading 90-73 with 3:27 remaining. Fans finally got their wish less than a minute later -- though not because coach Jason Kidd was listening to them. "No, the game was outt of hand, so I wanted to get those guys some rest," Kidd said.dddddddddddd "D-Will was shooting free throws. Couldnt put Twin in at that time, so I told him after the free throws that he would come in." Collins said before the game that he wasnt aware of any second contract, leaving those details up to his agent. Kidd said those discussions were between management and Collins agent, but said his former teammate has been "great, on and off the court." "Twin is a good friend of mine and hes a basketball player, but hes a great person and so thats why we wanted him on this team and we felt he could help us win," Kidd said, referring to Collins by the nickname he had during his original stint with the Nets from 2001-08. The Nets still practice in New Jersey even after moving to Brooklyn before last season, so thats where Collins was Sunday after the Nets got back from their road trip that ended Saturday night in Milwaukee. He spent part of the day shopping at Costco, wisely stocking up since hell be sticking around. "Its kind of funny. Yesterday on my day off Im driving around Jersey on Route 17 and bringing back a lot of memories from when I was here before," Collins said. Hes much more famous now after revealing he was gay in a Sports Illustrated article last April. He had been out of the NBA from then until signing with the Nets. Collins said he had plenty of ticket requests from family and friends for Mondays game, and also saw a number of familiar faces from the old days. The pregame news conference and the overall media attention are new, and Collins believes it wont last, but understands that for now his sexuality makes him a big story. "Over time it will go down, but as far as doing interviews and talking about it, Im getting comfortable with the microphone or the camera on me," he said. Hes more comfortable on the court, even in the limited minutes he gets. Finally finished with his lengthy list of pregame obligations, he was looking forward to helping the Nets in whatever way he could. "Now that thats all settled, Ill go out there and just try to focus as much as I can on the game," Collins said.
