OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs practiced on Tuesday, just nine days after tearing his biceps.Afterward, Suggs was asked why he is playing through the injury.Man, who am I? What team do I play for?, Suggs asked. I come from an era where this is just a bump in the road. It may be season-ending for somebody else. Its not season-ending for a Raven.Suggs has proven to be one of the most tough and determined players in Ravens history. He never missed a game in his first six seasons and has continually bounced back quickly to be there when the Ravens needed him the most.In the 2008 AFC Championship Game, Suggs twice sacked Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger despite playing with a sprained right shoulder. In 2012, he returned less than six months after tearing his Achilles and only missed one game that same season after tearing his biceps. Now, he is dealing with the same torn left biceps injury.Why is it so important for him to play?Have we met? I dont go on IR unless I absolutely have to, if I tear another Achilles or some s---, Suggs said.Suggs acknowledged that this injury is a pain-tolerance issue.But its also a win-tolerance thing, he said. How much do you want to win? How much do you want to play?In his 12th season, Suggs has been solid, ranking 40th among edge defenders by Pro Football Focus. He leads Baltimore with five sacks and ranks ninth with 19 tackles.Suggs has decided to wear what he calls an apparatus on his left arm. The brace is designed to diminish the pain. This is a change from his last biceps injury in 2012, when he chose not to wear one.I was young and dumb, wanted to be the Hulk, he said. But Im damn sure going to wear one now.Its probably no surprise that Suggs will only miss one game with the torn biceps considering the first opponent after the bye. The Ravens play the rival Steelers with first place in the AFC North possibly on the line.Your greatest opponent always brings the best out of you, Suggs said. Its a good opportunity to come back and play against those guys. Everybody knows whats riding on it. Its going to be a big game. I want to be a part of it. Under Armour Clearance Sale .

Conferences, rather than divisions, may be the answer to the ICC impasse over the future structure of Test cricket, allowing a two-year build to a championship playoff without dividing the game into haves and have-nots.The concept of a conference-based split among 12 Test-playing nations - allowing room for the likes of Afghanistan or Ireland - was discussed in some detail at the recent ICC chief executives committee (CEC) meeting in Cape Town, after the idea of two divisions was struck down by the objections of some nations including Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and India.Their chief reason for opposition was worry about the thought of being consigned to a second tier of Test cricket, after fighting for many years to earn their way into Full Member status and its assorted playing and financial benefits. However there was also opposition to simply letting the present system of bilateral series stand untouched.Under the conference proposal, alternately-ranked teams would be grouped in separate conferences, down to teams placed 11 and 12. This would then mean that all six teams in each conference would play each other in at least one series over two years, with the possibility of one or two crossover series against teams from the other conference also available, as happens in Major League Baseball.At the end of the competition - to be completed with a Test Championship playoff between the two conference winners - the two groups would be reshuffled for the next edition, meaning all nations would play each other every six years.Among the more radical elements of the concept is that this championship would be the only Test cricket played, ruling out the possibility of icon series such as the Ashes being played outside the structure.dddddddddddd. While theyre icon [sic] and big series, its just not quite the same, a source close to the meetings told ESPNcricinfo. Theres also a feeling were playing enough cricket. We dont want to play more cricket.Member nations are said to be warming to this context far more than two-division cricket, as it removes the political hurdle of some teams having to submit to an inferior level of Test cricket. The only compromise in terms of opponents will be the amount of matches played within a given series - Ashes contests would remain played over five Tests, while lower profile encounters would be able to be played over a lesser length, most likely a minimum of two Tests.That flexibility means there will need to be further discussion of the best structure for awarding points for match and series wins. If theres 30 points available for a series and you play a five-match series, you might get six points a match, and if it is a two-match series it might be 15 points a match, the source said. That sort of thing needs to be further explored.League structures for ODI and Twenty20 matches remain on course, while a detailed, theoretical Test schedule is now being prepared, ahead of the ICCs formal meetings in February next year.Other matters, such as the internal wrangling at the BCCI and also the concurrent work on a revised governance model for the ICC board, may yet have some influence on events. The push for a pooled television rights deal is also ongoing, while the ICC is working on arranging a meeting between the BCCI and the IOC about crickets inclusion for the Olympics. ' ' '
