In an interview with SLAM Magazine, WNBA player Skylar Diggins dished on topics ranging from her new book, endorsements and maybe playing overseas one day.Diggins, who is one of the few WNBA stars to not have played overseas during the off-season, was actually signed to play in China before she tore her ACL. She was really looking forward to the opportunity.I had never been overseas before, so that would have been something different for me, Diggins said. You hear about your friends going overseas, and people talk about overseas all the time.She is not ruling it out, however.?Maybe one day. Im not saying that I am or I am not going this year. But hopefully one day in the future, Ill be able to go over there for one of the shorter seasons. I also have other things I want to pursue here, Diggins said.?Looks like the ever business woman isnt slowing down.?Check out the full interview over at SLAM Magazine.Charlie Brown Hawks Jersey .

At a news conference Tuesday where it was thought that the fiery Schallibaum may be shown the door after a dismal finish to the Major League Soccer season, team president Joey Saputo said no decision has been made on whether the Swiss Volcano will be back in 2014.

Mike Bibby Jersey . - The Oakland Raiders re-signed offensive lineman Khalif Barnes on Friday.MILWAUKEE -- Despite the pampered lifestyle of a major league baseball player -- chartered planes, first-class hotels -- road trips can be a drain, especially when flying from one side of the country to another.But while all ballplayers are anxious to get back home after a long road trip, there are few MLB players who enjoy playing in their own ballpark more than Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis.Nieuwenhuis is batting just .212 on the season and depending on how you look at it, that number could be a lot better or astonishingly worse when one takes a look at Nieuwenhuis home/road splits.On the road, Nieuwenhuis is batting a paltry .143 (16-for-130) with a home run, seven doubles and 10 RBI. But back at Miller Park, Nieuwenhuis has been a machine, posting a .304 average (38-for-125) with nine doubles, nine home runs, a triple and 24 RBI.Its pretty impressive, the numbers at home, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. Theyre mind-boggling, really, the differences. Its a hard one to explain, and Im not going to be able to explain it.Nieuwenhuis went 3-for-18 on Milwaukees recent road trip, appearing in five of six games against the Padres and Diamondbacks.Ive just tried to change my mentality a little bit, Nieuwenhuis said. Ive just been pressing a lot the last three or four weeks.Ive tried to take it one pitch at a time and see where that takes me.Nobody would appreciate an offensive outburst more than right-hander Zach Davies, who takes the mound Monday looking for his fourth consecutive start in fifth in his llast five decisions.ddddddddddddDavies hasnt allowed more than two earned runs in any of his last five outings, posting a 1.97 ERA with 21 strikeouts and six walks in 32 innings during that stretch.When he gets into a groove, he runs through a lineup pretty good, Counsell said.Hell be facing the Braves for the first time in his career.Atlantas scheduled starter, rookie right-hander Rob Whalen, will go for his first career victory. He made his major league debut Aug. 3, allowing four runs on four hits -- including a home run -- and four walks with five strikeouts over five innings of work, but didnt take a decision in Atlantas 8-4 victory over the Pirates.He allowed all four runs in the first inning, but settled in quickly after that.Obviously the game didnt start how either of us hoped it would, but the end result was exactly what we were looking for, said Braves catcher Anthony Recker. He did a great job getting through that first inning and then just bearing down and making pitches after that.I just told him we were still behind him and we were going to come back and win the game, just keep pitching your butt off and we got ya. And he did that.Whalen was having a strong year in Atlantas minor league system, going a combined 7-6 with a 2.40 ERA for Double-A Mississippi and Triple-A Gwinnett, where he made three starts and allowed just four runs in 18 2/3 innings of work while striking out 18.
