CLEVELAND -- The last thing the Browns need right now is a ticked-off superstar quarterback making his NFL return.Cleveland, say hello to Tom Brady .While the Deflategate saga might never be forgotten, its behind the New England Patriots and their four-time Super Bowl champion QB. And, for sure, Brady wont have forgotten the four-game punishment from Commissioner Roger Goodell that he fought to overturn and eventually had to serve.He might say otherwise, and that the deflated footballs scandal is in the past, but Brady rarely needs an extra edge when he suits up. And boy does he have one Sunday at Cleveland.It was great to be back in the building, Brady said on Westwood One Radio this week. Certainly great to be back to work. Its been a long four weeks for me, but Im excited to get started on my preparation for Cleveland. Im anxious for the week ahead. I want to get back out on the practice field. This is what I love to do and now I have an opportunity to do it.What might he do to the Browns (0-4), the NFLs only winless team and ravaged by injuries? What Brady usually does, which most often is a good thing for New England (3-1).His demeanor is always focused. Hes always ready to play and always ready to roll, says 2015 All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski, who barely has rolled this season because of a hamstring problem. So as an offense as a whole we just have to go out there, stick together, practice together, get ready for a tough Browns team, a defense that is always working hard and nonstop and always playing to the whistle.If not playing particularly well.Some other things to watch Sunday:THIRD QB: Like the Patriots, the Browns also are on their third quarterback. Unlike New England, which went 2-0 with Jimmy Garoppolo starting and 1-1 with rookie Jacoby Brissett, Cleveland has had no success with its QBs: Robert Griffin III and Josh McCown, both sidelined by injuries, and rookie Cody Kessler.Obviously, Tom Brady is one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game, and he has played it for a long time and done a lot of great things, said Kessler, who has not been awful despite his inexperience and the lack of talent around him. As a young quarterback, that is something you want to do. You want to play for a long time and be as successful as he has and continue to work hard.JUST IN TIME: Brady returns just when the Patriots are hitting a rougher stretch in their schedule. Their wins have been over Arizona, Miami and Houston, a combined 5-7, and they come off a three-game homestand. Beyond Cleveland, New England faces Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Buffalo -- which blanked the Patriots last Sunday -- and, after a bye, Seattle.CROW FLIES: Isaiah Crowell has busted loose for the Browns, who lead the NFL in rushing.Crowell has run for 394 yards in four games and is averaging a league-best 6.5 yards per carry. He gained 112 violent yards on just 15 carries last week, breaking free from Redskins defenders on nearly every play.Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who embraces any defensive challenge, knows the Patriots have their hands full.Crowells strong, tough, breaks tackles, makes a lot of yards on his own, he said. Very explosive through the hole, breaks a lot of arm tackles. Youve got to do a good job with him in the running game. Hes got great ball security.The third-year back was involved in a controversy earlier this summer when he posted an illustration of a handcuffed police officer being stabbed. Crowell has not only expressed his remorse, he donated his first game check of nearly $35,000 to the Dallas Fallen Officer Foundation.PRYORITY: After three years of trying to master the switch from college quarterback to pro wideout, Terrelle Pryor is showing signs he has the tools to succeed. Pryor is averaging 15.3 yards for his team-leading 19 receptions, completed 3 of 5 passes for 53 yards, rushed for 15 yards and a TD, and generally has been a solid influence in the locker room.He has shown the ability to really do everything that you could ask of a receiver really, or a football player, Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. He has made great plays down the field, taking the ball away from defenders, has shown great timing and ball skills to get the ball, hes made good run-after-catch plays, taking short passes and turning them into long runs with his speed and his elusiveness, his ability to break tackles and pick up extra yards. And then hes been productive in the quarterback position throwing, running and just ... adding another dimension to the offense and another thing that the defense has to spend a lot of time working on.---AP Sports Writers Tom Withers and Kyle Hightower contributed.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLZack Kassian Jersey . - After leading the Saints to a fourth playoff appearance in five seasons, Drew Brees expressed confidence in the direction of his team and, perhaps more importantly, showed a willingness to listen to contract proposals if the team needs his help getting under the NFLs salary cap. Ryan Smyth Jersey . Carey Price didnt, but he still came out on top against one of his rivals for the No. 1 job at the Sochi Games. The Anahim Lake, B.C., native was stellar in making 39 saves in his home province and Lars Eller got credit for a bizarre short-handed winner as the Canadiens defeated the Canucks 4-1. http://www.officialoilersfanstore.com/authentic-adam-larsson-oilers-jersey/ .2 billion agreement with Rogers Communications for the leagues broadcast and multimedia rights. Grant Fuhr Oilers Jersey . Most important, perhaps, it went off without a hitch. Organizers poked a little fun at the now-infamous opening ceremony gaffe that saw only four out of five snowflakes open up into rings, leaving the Olympics logo one ring short. Grant Fuhr Jersey . Nine days before the opening ceremony, organizing committee chief Dmitry Chernyshenko said Wednesday that Sochi is "fully ready" and will deliver safe, friendly and well-run games that defy the grim reports that have overshadowed preparations.NEW ORLEANS -- Anthony Davis doesnt accept the premise that the New Orleans Pelicans will struggle again this season simply because they let two of their best shooters walk this offseason and didnt make a splash in free-agency.For now, Davis has faith that the acquisitions of hard-nosed, two-way players including Solomon Hill, ETwaun Moore and Terrence Jones will make up for the departures of more offensive-minded players like Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson.Its not about having the most talent, Davis said. Its about what (players) can bring to the table to help our team, and all these guys bring something to the table.Davis said he sees the Pelicans aspiring to be kind of like Boston last year, not having a lot of talent but guys play hard.Thats how they were able to win games, Davis added. Thats what we bought into and thats what were looking forward to.Beset by injuries to virtually all top players, the Pelicans went 30-52 last season, which was Alvin Gentrys first as head coach in New Orleans after winning a championship as a Golden State assistant the year before that.Gentry imported the Warriors up-tempo style to New Orleans, hoping it would suit Davis, whose speed and shooting range are exceptional for a 6-foot-11 front-court player. The Pelicans saw possessions per game rise by a league-leading 5.2 over the previous season, to nearly 99 possessions per game, but defensive deficiencies caused their up-tempo approach to backfire.So this offseason, We tried to make sure we were getting two-way players, Gentry said. We also signed guys that play with a lot of grit and added toughness to our team that maybe we were missing last year.---Some other things to watch as the Pelicans try to return to playoff contention:SIDELINED REGULARS: New Orleans will start the season without three prominent players: guard Jrue Holiday, guard Tyreke Evans and small forward Quincy Pondexter. Holiday is on indefinite leave to care for his wife, Lauren, a retired soccer star who was diagnosed with a brain tumor while pregnant. Treatment for the tumor could not start until after the birth of their daughter in late September. We told Jrue, forget about the basketball part of iit.dddddddddddd This is where you take care of your family, Gentry said. Were going to welcome him back whenever he feels its time. Evans and Pondexter are coming off knee surgeries. Pondexter missed all of last season and Evans most of it. Both hope to return by December.ROOKIE RANGE: The Pelicans know first-round draft choice Buddy Hield, their first round draft choice, can shoot. Hield, a unanimous AP All-American when he averaged 25.4 points for Oklahoma last season, routinely scored in double digits this preseason. But there are other aspects of NBA basketball the sixth overall pick is still learning, particularly on defense, so the Pelicans intend to have him come off the bench to open the regular season. Moore is slated to start at shooting guard for now.DAVIS IN THE MIDDLE: Gentry said Davis, who has filled out substantially during his first four pro seasons, now has the strength and skill set to routinely play at center when opponents dont have physically dominant big man on the floor. It gives us a huge advantage when were not playing overpowering centers, Gentry said. When Davis is at forward, the Pelicans top centers will again be 7-footers Omer Asik and Alexis Ajinca.HILLS MISSION: When Hill played for Indiana, he routinely guarded opponents most dynamic scorers. He said hell embrace such a role with the Pelicans while helping instill a more defensive-minded mentality across the roster. We all love the style that coach Gentry wants to implement, but everythings going to be on defense, Hill said. We cant get out and run if we cant stop anybody. Whats the point of having points in the 100s if you only have 100 and the other team has 120?TOGETHER AGAIN: Davis and Jones are teammates for the first time since winning the 2012 NCAA national title with Kentucky (in New Orleans). I always loved Terrences game. He can score. He pays hard. He defends. He rebounds. And of course we all know hes got a winning mentality, right? Davis said. Its good to have one of your guys that you went to war with come back and play with you. ' ' '
